A scarlet haired beauty was making her way through the corridors to the college grounds. At the very sight of her, boys began to shiver and girls became incredibly nervous.
"Did something happen while I was attending the meeting yesterday?" she asked in a stern voice to a be-spectacled boy who accompanied her.
"Only minor problems like the usual catfight between Jellal and Gray fangirls on the issue of who is more hot, Natsu and Gajeel having a trifling quarrel in the cafeteria breaking three or four chairs and some porcelain plates and glasses, Elfman breaking the bones of two students for harassing his sister Lisanna, Laxus challenging Jellal to find out who is the strongest and Gildarts sensei being caught red-handed by his daughter Cana thus revealing his affair with her fellow classmate Laki Olietta."
"That was just too much, Lahar. It seems that taking a day break for me from this Academy would just remain a luxury", the scarlet haired sighed heavily.
"But Erza, these are just minor issues and most of these events were caused by the one and only Almighty Jellal."
"Wait, Lahar. What did he do this time around?" Erza asked reluctantly.
"He was the one who started the topic about the hottest guy in the campus before his fangirls, he was the one who encouraged Natsu when he started his usual banter with Gajeel, he was the one who informed Elfman about Lisanna stalkers, he manipulated Laxus for a formal duel and also locked Sensei and Laki in the lab thereby enabling Cana to catch them red-handed."
Lahar made his glasses straight with his index finger and continued in a disinterested tone, "speak of the devil and there he is" pointing to a well-built blue-haired handsome guy in the college ground surrounded by a swarm of fan-girls.
Erza's brows twitched at that sight and she narrowed her eyes. Impulsively she rushed into the ground where the blue-haired guy stood.
"Jellal, I need to talk to you", she said sternly.
The fangirls just disappeared when they heard her voice as no one dared to cross the path of the scary red monster Titania. She was the campus disciplinarian and a role-model for students and hence was unanimously elected as the college chairman.
"Oh, crazy Titania is back so soon?" he pulled out the cigarette from his mouth thus letting a puff of smoke out.
"Don't you know that smoking is prohibited in the campus?" she tried to reach out for his cigarette but he skillfully dodged and smirked. He put the stub down and extinguished it with his shoes.
"Don't you know your life is a boring hell, Madame Titania?" he continued his smirk, "so I just tried to make it a bit spicy while you left the campus for a day letting the others to enjoy their life for the time being."
"Do you seriously think that all this is too much funny?" she beamed with anger.
"It is indeed funny", suddenly he moved close to her and held her chin with his thumb and index finger letting his hot breath ravish her skin and slowly whispered in her ears in his cool baritone voice.
"Life is too short, Titania. Enjoy it as much as you can with whole of your spirit. Else you would be lamenting about it tomorrow."
Just then his mobile rang and he attended it with an amused smile, "Ultear, I will be there for the party at the usual time. So, have no worries there." Then he disconnected the call and stroked her scarlet strands gently.
He slowly released her palm and gently stroked her cheeks with his index finger,"see you later, Titania". Saying this he waved her a hand and went to the parking lot.
Erza could only just stare at him like a statue restricted of its movements.
"Lucy, what were you doing with Gray-sama while Juvia went out?" Juvia was raging at Lucy.
"Juvia, it is nothing like you thought. Gray just asked me to show my assignment", Lucy replied nervously.
"Are you sure you did not hide a love letter inside that assignment and gave to Gray-sama?"
"Why should I lie? By the way, Natsu was with me when I gave them my assignment to copy. If you don't believe me, then you can just ask him."
"Another love-rival? Juvia never thought that Gray-sama was into BL though Juvia had some doubts about his connections with his cousin Lyon-sama", Juvia painfully sighed.
"Don't you dare cross Juvia's path, Lucy. If you do so then Juvia would eat you for breakfast", saying this she marched her way to the class.
Lucy was really shocked at Juvia's behavior. No one had behaved to her so rudely before and as far as she knew Juvia was a sweet girl. Gray had saved her from the clutches of her former boy-friend who was a drug addict and used to abuse her a lot. Ever since that incident, she had fallen head over heels for Gray and has virtually become his crazy stalker.
Suddenly Lucy felt someone tapping her shoulder. She turned back and saw Mira smiling at her.
"Problem with Juvia eh? Did you make any advance towards Gray? " the cunning foxy match-maker has indeed stricken the nerve.
"Nothing of that sort, Mira", Lucy tried to remain natural. "By the way, where is Erza? I did not see her today."
"She might be in her usual irritating mood after her confrontation with Jellal on the grounds", Mira replied in a sarcastic tone.
"Erza and her never-ending problems with Jellal….", Lucy paused a bit and then continued, "why are they both so prideful and trying to hit each other's nerve when they are so cute together?"
"Mira-nee, Lucy, the group is awaiting you in the cafeteria for lunch. So come soon." It was Lisanna calling them from the first floor. Mira and Lucy then started walking towards the cafeteria.
Erza was really annoyed after her confrontation with Jellal. Just once more he really proved that he is indeed a rich brat whose spare-time activities are drinking and hanging out with chicks. He calls this his way of enjoying life? He must have lost one or two screws to even think like that. He is from a noble family and his family and society has got high expectations of him. He has got mad skills and wits to back that up too. Yet he always behaves in a snobbish manner.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she failed to notice that she had collided with Laxus. She felt so embarrassed and promptly apologized. Laxus was actually another arrogant brat whose sole interest in life were fights and chicks.
"So you really are in a hurry to jump on me, babe?" smirking evilly he continued, "even the great Titania needs stress relaxation at times?"
"Hold your tongue, Laxus. You are forgetting that I am as good as a fighter as you and could kick your ass if I so wished", Erza replied angrily.
"Really? Then I would like to see that", Laxus said haughtily.
"Not when I am here, Laxus", a stubborn voice came from his back and he turned back to see the owner of the voice.
It was none other than Jellal who was walking calmly with hands in his pockets.
"You have to go through me before trying to take out my babe", he said non-chalantly with a cold gaze fixed upon Laxus.
