~Jessie's P.O.V.~

        When Sting came back, he was still wearing his usual clothing, but it was probably a new set.  "Your turn," Sting smirked.  I sighed and stood up.

        "Yeah yeah, make sure you don't peek," I smirked back.  He slightly blushed, probably thinking pervy thoughts.  I then walked to the bathroom and started undressing.  After taking a quick hot shower, I put on some new clothes: A cyan blue shirt that showed a bit of my stomach and jean shorts.  I still had on my golden locket, and I slipped my white clip in my jean's pocket.  I also put Sting's phone in my front pocket.  When I was done, I exitted the room.  Sting was lazily waiting in the living room.  When he turned around his eyes widened.

        "Whoa," he simply said.

        "What?  Something wrong?" I asked.

        "N-no, I just didn't expect....for you to wear something so..optimistic?" he replied.  I puffed out my cheeks.

        "-3- Well that's mean," I muttered.  "Maybe I can be optimistic!"

        "Mm, riiiight.." Sting said with a hint of sarcasm.

        "Well, are we going or not?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips.  Sting smirked and grabbed ahold of my hand, making me slightly blush.

        "Well then, let's go!" he said, dragging me out of the room.  "Bye Lector, Lexi!"  As he dragged me, I looked back to see Lexi with wide eyes.  What is she looking at?  Eh, I guess it doesn't matter.  Sting still kept holding my hand as he ran through the lobby, and Grandfather.  When we passed him, I know he was smirking at us, and I could feel my cheeks burn even more.  I wish I could've spat something to say that it's not what it looks like, but I didn't have time to.  Grandfather just waved goodbye as Sting tugged me out of Saber Caverns.  Finally, when we were outside, he let go of my hand.

        "Jeez, you didn't have to drag me," I muttered, trying to stop blushing, but is there anyway to make blush go away?  Fortunately, I don't think he noticed me blushing because he was looking at a billboard or something.  "What are you looking at?" I asked curiously.

        "A bus map," he answered, not looking at me.

        "Why?"

        "to find a bus, duh!"  I sighed.

        "Where are we even going?" I asked, crossing my arms.  It seemed that he didn't hear me though because he let out a deep sigh.

        "Man, no busses, guess we gotta take the car.." Sting muttered, but there was an excited smile plastered on his face.

        "Car...?" I said in confusion.  I didn't like the look on his face either.  He smirked and grabbed my arm.

        "You'll see," was all he said before he again dragged me, this time to the back of the building, where the parking lot was.  Wait, parking lot?  Don't tell me... He led me to a slim silver car.

        "You have a car?!" I said in amazement.  

        "Yup!" he said with a proud smile.  

        "-▿-' U-uhno.." I stuttered.  I know Mark's terrible at driving, but he's had four years to practice.....I'm not sure I trust someone who only has had one year of experience...  As if he read my mind, Sting pouted.

        "Aw come on, I'm not that terrible at driving!"

        "That's what everyone says.." I sweatdropped.

        "Please??" he begged, looking at me with the same sad puppy eyes.  Ergh, curse my weakness!

        "Alright, fine.." I sighed, getting into the car.  He grinned and got into the driver's seat.  He then started the engine and started going down the road to who knows where we're going..

~Sting's P.O.V.~

        When we stopped at our first light, I couldn't help but take a glance at Jessie.  She was looking out the window.  I had to admit, I was surprised at what she was wearing, I didn't pin her as the kind of girl who would show some skin.....No Sting no perverted thoughts!  You're driving for Mavis sake!  Thankfully, we got to our destination.  I went to the nearest parking spot and parked the car with precision.  We then both got out of the car.

        "Huh, you're not so bad at driving then I first thought," Jessie commented as she closed the car door.  "So, where are we anyways?"

        "At the mall, duh," I answered as I shut the door and locked the car.

        "The mall?" Jessie tilted her head.

        "Yeah," I said and pointed to the huge white building to the right.  "You have been here before right?"  Jessie shook her head.

        "No, I actually haven't," she said in a matter-of-fact tone.

        "What?!" I blurted out.  "You've seriously never been to the mall before???"

        "Nope," she shrugged.  "I've never really gone outside other than for school or to meet up with friends in a while."

        "What was the last place you went to that those things?" I raised an eyebrow.

        "Um, I think..." she paused for a minute.  "I actually don't know."  I put an exaggerated gasp face.

        "Well then we need to get you into the mall stat!" I urged, pushing her towards it.

        "Ow, okay okay, sheesh," Jessie said, moving away.  "I'll go, just stop pushing me."  I grinned.

        "Then hurry up slowpoke!" I said, and started running towards the mall.

        "Te oi!" Jessie said from behind me, and she probably started running too.  I chuckled and started to pick up the pace.  Soon, I got to the entrance of the mall, and skidded to a stop.  I turned around, expecting Jessie to be far behind, but actually, she was closer to me than I thought and she crashed into me.  I instinctively put my hands around her waist.  I immediately blushed because I realized I was holding her bare skin.  "Moh, don't just stop there!" said Jessie gently pushing away and brushing off the dust from her clothes.  Huh, she didn't realize that I was holding her waist, but I guess that's good.

        "S-sorry," I said, looking away so that she wouldn't see my blush.  Wait, WHY AM I BLUSHING??  It's not like I have feelings for her!  Nah, I love Minerva, that was already settled....right?  Well, I guess I can't help but wonder what her lips feel li-NO, NO, FORGET THAT STING.  GET THAT THOUGHT OUT OF YOUR HEAD!  Besides, you would be lucky if she even sees you as a friend.

        "Yo, Sting!"  I was snapped back to reality by Jessie snapping her fingers right at my face.  I blinked a couple times.  "Oh good, you're alive," she giggled.

        "Y-you say that like it doesn't matter if I am or not," I huffed when I regained my conscience.

        "Not true, I need someone to guide me through this hell of a maze," she countered, gesturing to the huge place called the mall.  I still say it's weird for a teenager, especially a girl, not to have been in the mall before.  "So, where are we going first?" Jessie asked.  Suddenly the cutest grumble I have ever heard came from her stomach.  Her face immediately flushed in embarrassment as I couldn't help but stifle a laugh.

        "How about someplace to eat first?" I chuckled.  She scowled, her face as red as a strawberry.

        "Fine with me," she muttered.  I laughed again and gestured for her to follow me as I started walking to our first stop.  She obliged, and walked beside me as I walked to this place I knew.  Soon, we both stood in front of a place with the words The Breakfast Bar at the top of it.  I opened the door and held it open for Jessie.  "Very gentleman-like of you Sting," she commented.

        "You sound surprised," I said.

        "I am," she smirked as she went through.  I faked an offended expression, and she just giggled and continued walking in.  I grinned.  I like making her giggle, it--ergh, STOP IT STING!!  I shook my head to get rid of these weird thoughts and went in and stood beside Jessie.  

        "Hi, table for two please?" I asked the waitress.

        "Right, in just a sec please!" the waitress smiled and turned around to get menus.  I then remembered something that always happens on a Saturday.

        "Duck!" I yelled crouching down.

        "What?" Jessie said, a bit confused.

        "JUST GET DOWN!" I yelled, covering my head with my hands.  Jessie looked at me weirdly but ducked.  Luckily she was right on time because as soon as she crouched down, a chair went right over her head.

        "The hell?" Jessie sweatdropped and stood up.  We both turned to the right to see a brawl fight between two certain people.

        "Tema, watch where you put your damn hot sauce!" one of them growled.

        "And same to you with your dumb snow cones!" the other snarled back.  I sighed.

        "Natsu-san! Gray!" I yelled.  They both stopped fighting, each holding the other's collar.

        "Oh, hey Sting!" Natsu smirked.  "Whatcha doing here?"

        "Iya, well.." I sweatdropped, rubbing the back of my neck.  It would not look good for them to see me with Jessie.  Hmm, I know they go to Fairy Tail High, do they know Jessie?

        "Ohhh Natsu, Gray..." Jessie said in a sing-song tone.  Natsu and Gray immediately stood up straight and froze in fear.  All three of us turned around to see a very pissed Jessie.  Her piercing eyes that were full of anger scared me more than Wyt's red eyes did.  She slowly walked passed me and towards Natsu and Gray.  They both clung onto each other and shivered in fear.  "Say, did you two happen to know who threw a chair over my head??" she hissed, cracking her knuckles.  Gray fearfully pointed at Natsu while Natsu did the same with Gray.  "Hoh?  Can't choose?  I'll just do both then..."  O▿O' was literally how my face looked as I watched Jessie beat up the third and fourth strongest people in Fairy Tail High, not to mention one of them was my idol.  When she was done, she rubbed her hands in sastifaction.  "So, did you two learn a lesson about throwing chairs?" she asked nicely. 

        "H-hai.." Gray and Natsu said dizzily as they were on the floor, multiple red bumps on their heads.  She nodded and walked back up to me.

        "So, shall we continue?" she asked with a toothy grin.  I could tell that they both were looking at us with wide eyes, so I gestured for her to walk towards our table.  The waitress had already set up our table so we just sat down.

        "Hey, uh, how did you beat those two up...?" I asked.

        "I just...beat them up?" she chuckled, still looking at her menu.

        "Yeah, but, Natsu-san is the third strongest person in Fairy Tail High, Gray being fourth..." I said.  She looked up from her menu and looked at me like I had two heads or something.

        "What's your point?" she asked curiously.

        "I know that Erza is the 2nd, but no one knows who's the first....do you know?" I asked sheepishly.  I was really curious as to who that was.  Fairy Tail High would never tell.  I had heard rumors that it was someone very unexpected, but...

        "Yeah, I know," Jessie said.  I looked at her with wide eyes.

        "You do?? Who??" I asked, almost jumping out of my seat in excitement.

        "Me."  O_O?  O_O!!!!!!!

        "WHAT?!?" I shouted out loud.

        "Hey, is the strawberry lemonade here good?"
