A few hours earlier….
Erza followed behind Jellal shooting dagger at his skull. He hadn't done anything bad to her, but still, even when he tried to do something nice, it put her on edge. She was too busy fuming to notice where they were going. Suddenly she realized they were headed up the stairs to the open roof.
"Where are we going? Why would we have the meeting up there?" Erza ask annoyed.
"Oh yeah I lied. There is no meeting," Jellal said laughing.
"So then what was the point of all that?"
"Obviously to get you alone."
Erza's eyes widened. "No way! I'm done with that. See you later," she said as she turned to leave. He caught her hand before she walked off and pulled her toward him.
"Do you really want to play that game at school? We could, but that would cause a scene," Jellal he said smiling.
"Let go of me," but she didn't attempt to struggle. He pulled her behind a corner and bent her over the wall. He put his hand in her mouth and took off as little clothes as possible.
As soon as he came, Erza pushed him off panicking. "You're not wearing a condom! Why would you not pull out?!"
Jellal eyes flash panic, "Wait - s-sorry it's just that every girl I - usually the girls I'm with are on birth control… are you not?"
"You know my parents! What do you think?" Erza yelled. "Oh my god oh my god."
"Wait we can go get Plan B," Jellal said. "We can go right now."
"It's like fifty dollars! My parents will know something is up if they see a charge like that!" Erza said freaking out.
Jellal opened his wallet and took out a hundred dollar bill. "I'll drive let's go."
Erza Scarlett, Class President, Rule Book follower skipped her first day of junior year to buy plan B.
Last period was Gray's favorite. Not because it meant he got to leave after - but because last period was swim. After class ended, it streamlined into practice. Not today though, he had a few weeks before the season started. And since it was the first day, all he was gonna do was chill with his team.
When Gray strolled in he checked in with his coach and headed to the bleachers.
"Hey Gray. Just the mermaid I was telling Meredy about. Your synchronized swimming skills really brought me to tears at state," Lyon Vastia said smirking to Gray.
Gray and Lyon were the definition of frenemies. Sure Natsu's and Gray fight, but Lyon really knows how to grind his gears.
"Shut up Lyon, I dusted your freestyle time," Gray said back.
"Yes but you really stole the show with your graceful butterfly," Lyon said teasingly. Just then Gray noticed a girl isolated up in the bleachers.
"Who's that?" Gray asked.
"She's a transfer student from Phantom Academy. Supposedly she was there best swimmer, so when she transferred here, she automatically made the team," Meredy explained.
"Hold on I know her. Holy shit! Gray, she was that girl who broke the record time on freestyle for girls! She literally won for their team!" Lyon said.
Gray looked at her. He recognized her. Girls free stroke was right before Boys butterfly. Juvia was last to go for girls, and he was first for boys. While they were waiting - he heard Juvia's team mates making snarky comments about her loud enough for everyone to hear.
Right before she went up, Gray whispered, "When you swim today, do it for you. Win for you and have a self victory. Don't let these bitches have any glory."
Since he was up next, he hadn't seen her perform. "Why won't she talk to us?" asked Gray.
"I dont know she hasn't said a word," said Rufus walking up.
"Let me try," Gray said walking up the bleachers. He walked over and sat down next to her.
"Hey I heard about your win. Everyone's excited you're here," Gray said.
"Go away before I make you miserable too," Juvia said.
"What would be miserable for all of us, is a teammate who can't work with us. It would make us miserable if you stay up here."
Juvia blushed and eventually walked down the bleachers with him. After a while, the entire boys and girls swim team was sitting upon the bleachers. The Coach checked in and started giving the usual speech. Lyon leaned over to Gray,
"Hey Meredy, Ultear, and I are staying after the bell. You coming," he opened his jacket revealing a water bottle and a deck of cards. That could only mean one thing.
"Hell yeah," said Gray completely forgetting his previous plans.
"Also ask Juvia to stay."
Finally the bell rang and the students began to filter out. And Juvia walked out the door Gray touched her shoulder and whispered, "Hey how's the time to get to know your teammates. Stay after the bell."
The only people remaining were Meredy, Ultear, Lyon, Gray and Juvia. They sat on the floor of the boy's locker room.
"What are we doing? Trust falls? Ice breakers?" Juvia asked quietly.
"Even better," Meredy said smiling slyly as she dealt cards. Lyon took out the water bottle, took a sip and passed it to Gray.
"We're doing shots and playing strip poker!" Ultear said.
"Wait no, we both can't go in," Erza said. Another argument, this time in a drugstore parking lot.
"Why not?" Jellal asked.
"Because what if we see someone we know and they'll see us together and we'll be here! Buying plan B! Together!" Erza rambled.
"Ok well it has to be you then," Jellal said handing her the cash.
"What?"
"It's the law that if someone under the age of 18 purchases plan B, they have to be a girl." Jellal says.
"You just made that up!"
"Well we can argue about that too or you could just go get it."
"Fine," Erza says as she gets out of the car. She sheepishly wanders around the store not daring to ask for help. Her heart sinks when she sees them locked behind the counter.
"Um excuse me," she asks quietly not looking up, "could I get um one of those boxes right there," she said her face the same color as her scarlet hair. The cashier began to unlock the box. Erza noticed something else at the check out line.
"A-also c-can I get a pack of those *comdoms*," Erza face now crimson. After she pays, Erza wordlessly leaves the store and runs back to Jellal's car.
"Where's your wallet?" Erza demanded. Jellal held it up confused. Erza snatched it and put the condoms inside. She shot him a glare and tossed it back.
"As you wish ~" he says in that infuriating snarky tone.
Erza takes the pill and they drive back to school. As they pull into the parking lot, it seems pretty empty.
"Oh wow we missed dismissal," Jellal says amused.
"Oh crap! I was supposed to drive everybody from school today! It's already 4:30!" Erza exclaimed.
"Well that sounds like a you problems. See ya Scarlett," Jellal says as he drives off.
Erza pulled out her phone
Erza: I'm so sorry! The meeting just ended!
Natsu: it's cool Zeref drove us
Wow lying to your friends. Who have I become.
"Ugh Ultear can u give me a ride home," Gray said laying on the floor in nothing but his underwear. Yeah, might as well I'm already taking Lyon."
"Noooo you guys are leaving~~~ but we're having so much funnnn," slurred a Juvia.
"Who knew all she needed was a little bit of alcohol," Meredy said giggling, "I'll drive you home Juvia, I'm pretty sober."
Gray and Lyon stumbled their way to Ultear car. The walk woke them up, so thankfully they could sit up for the drive.
"Hey Gray, I really like that Juvia girl," Lyon said.
"Hey she's pretty cool," Gray replied.
"No, you don't get it, I really like her," Lyon said.
"Oh that's cool I'll respect that," Gray said.
"You don't mind, right Gray?"
"Nope she's all yours"
"Wow Erza's meeting just ended now," Natsu said as they pulled into the driveway.
As soon as they opened the door, they were greeted by a swirl with a sweet voice, "Welcome home Zeref and Natsu! Hey Mavis! Nice to see you again Lucy!" She said.
"Finally someone remembers me!"
"Hey Wendy how was school?" Natsu asked.
"Cmon let's goo," Mavis said pulling Zeref to his room.
"You gotta see the surprise!"
