The bell rang, I gave a terrific shriek that rumbled across the entire school. Erza Scarlet was late. Incredibly late.

   "I'm gunno die, I'm gunno die, I'm gunno die..." I muttered under my breath, sweeping my cascading scarlet hair behind my ears, "Oh, shoot."

   I passed the principal's office on the way to my first lesson and practically crept past it, trying to be a ninja.

    "Mavis, please help me. Miss. Minerva's going to boil my guts."

    The corridors were empty, and the silence was unnerving me; the cliché phrase 'you could hear a pin drop' would be perfect right now.

    "God, where are the damn lockers!?" I screeched, hurrying across the passage, where the cafeteria was. I had just realized that my English Book was stored there, from yesterday.

    "I'm such an idiot." I rolled my eyes, as I spotted Natsu and Gray bickering outside the lockers. In my peripheral vision, I saw the clock above my locker.

    Seven Twenty.

    I narrowed my eyes and steadily walked towards them. Even though this was going to make me later, my reputation would be spoiled if I weren't to stop them.

    My Brain works weirdly.

    Carelessly, I grabbed their heads and smashed them together. They started to fight back until they realized that it was me.

    "WHY ARE YOU TWO CRETIN STILL HERE, EH?!"

    Gray looked petrified as he rubbed his head, where there was now a slight bump, "It's all Flame-brain's fault, Erza!" He growled, "He stole my bag!"

    Natsu hissed back at him, giving me an incredulous look, "Oh, yeah! 'Coz I remember clearly, that it was Ice-princess that started it!"

    A vein pumped in my forehead, and I cocked an eyebrow. "Just go to class!"

    I couldn't help but grin as they saluted, and slunk towards the door, opposite the lockers. The very door I'd have to walk to, in a couple of moments.

    "Seven, Two, Nine- AH~!" I sighed in relief as my locker opened, with a flourish. On the down-side, all my things spilled out at once, piling up on my shoes.

    "Well, that's no good." I crossed my arms and fiddled with my ear-rings; I had had them since I joined the Highschool; Fairy High.

    Quickly, wasting even more time, I shoved the stuff back, cringing at the mess I had made. My inner-perfectionist was screaming at me, though I paid no heed.

    "There we go!" I put on my rucksack and ran towards the door.

    Please, nothing happens now... Minerva's already going to torture me! Then again, fate hates me

    A figure smashed into me, and I rolled onto the floor, the weight of my 'attacker' crushing me flat. I groaned as my head cracked onto the marble tiles, and opened an eye to see who it was.

    Blue hair.

    I could see nothing but the oddly calming sapphire, which was tickling my nose with fluffy locks.

    "G-Gomin!" The figure jumped up and offered me a hand. I graciously took it and got up. I was met by green-eyes, the deepest shade of verdant.

    "I-It's ok." I was shaken, however, at least I had an excuse to tell Miss. Orland. I tried to suppress a smirk.

    "Let me help you with that." The blue-haired boy kneeled, and picked up my English Book; no damage had befallen on it.

    As he straightened, I noticed that he was a bit taller than me, and immediately felt a bit nervous. Although, I'm Titania; no one makes me nervous.

    "Here you go." He grinned, and I - not willingly - blushed. Our fingers brushed delicately as he passed me the notebook. "I believe you're going to 'English 7'?"

    "Yes." I nodded, "you too?"

    "Mhmm."

    "Uh." My mouth was dry as I glanced at him again, "Shall we?"

    Blue - yes, that's what I named him - smiled, and turned, "Sure."

    What's wrong with me, I'm- I'm normally not like this!

    We quickly walked towards the door and saw the figure of Minerva standing crossly inside. Her hair was done, as usual, giving her an Eastern look.

    As Blue opened the door, I swallowed, expecting the worst.

    "ERZA! JELLAL! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" She yelled. I winced visually, catching 'Jellal's' eye. He was giving me a sideways smile, "DETENTION, BOTH OF YOU! NOW SIT IN THE REMAINING SEATS!"

    Ducking my head, Jellal and I sat together in front of the class. Gray and Natsu were grinning at me, and Mira and Lucy gave me coy smirks which I ignored.

    Jellal Fernandes, huh? The new kid. I heard he's nice...

    The lesson was a blur, as Minerva lectured us on Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'. In between lines, Jellal and I shared a snort. I mean, seriously: Why's Shakespeare popular?!

    The bell signaled break-time, and everyone practically ran out. As I headed towards the door, Jellal brushed past me.

    "I look forward to spending detention with you, Scarlet."
