When I came back to school after my suspension I was patted on the back and asked for high fives. I was puzzled, what'd I do? I was proclaimed the 'bad boy with the guitar'. "You were so cool! You beat up that guy so bad all on your own! That's so cool man!" A kid came up to me and said.

I was famous for something I didn't even do and I felt bad about that. I wonder even now that what if Erza was caught? Would she be famous or infamous? Would it be the same scenario I'm dealing with? Society is so very sexist, I doubt that she would be held a hero. She would be called a guerrilla-woman or a boyish girl. Society's causal double standards.

Amidst all this back-patting and high fives my eyes searched the hallways for that redheaded beauty. I saw her standing at the end of the hallway, her scarlet hair being something you just couldn't miss. I gathered all the courage I had and decided that I will most definitely talk to her today.

I took slow steps towards her direction. Would she wanna talk to me? What should I talk to her about? Hello is one of the magic words, it should work. Her scent of all things sweet was getting stronger. My heart was beating faster, all in all I felt like a school girl who's about to go and confess.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" She said and I halted. My heart stopped and I forgot how to breathe. She was talking to me? She's the one who approached me first? Wait, was she waiting for me?

"Uh...yeah sure." I blurted out. Way to go Jellal, sounding like the clueless dork you are.

"You shouldn't have took the blame. I didn't ask you to." She stated. All my hopes melted into a puddle.

"I couldn't have just-" She cut me off.

"You must've gone through so much trouble because of me. It was my all fault." She sighed.

"No it was nothing-" I was cut off once more.

"Could you let me finish please?" She eyed me. I nodded while scratching the back of my head. "I've never had someone cover up for me like that. What I did was horrible and you took my blame. I'm truly grateful to you. I honestly am. I-I am so sorry as well." Erza said.

"It wasn't much. He was harassing you and teasing you, you did the right thing. Your punch was pretty badass though." I nervously replied.

She laughed, and oh that laughter was enough to light up the whole room; and my heart.

"I'm Erza, Erza Scarlet." She extended her hand out to me and gave me a beautiful smile.

"I'm Jellal, Jellal Fernandes." I shook her hand with a grin.

It was from that moment on, that me and Erza led a beautiful relationship to absolute chaos.
