Chapter 3

"So..How is the guild?" Jellal asked.

"Rowdy as usual, how's your fiancee?" I retorted, a little too harshly.

"Erza, I-" he began.

"Don't have a fiancee," I continued, finishing off his sentence.

"I-" 

"It's fine, I really wish you didn't lie to me, but I forgive you," I said, staring at the ground.

Does he not trust me?

"But-"

"Jellal, do me a favor and shut up."

He nodded and whispered, "But still. I'm really sorry."

" Can you wait here for a minute? I need to go to the guild," I said suddenly.

"Sure," he responded. 

I quickly walked towards the guild and stepped inside.

"Welcome back!" Mira greeted me.

I nodded my head, "I'm about to go to Fairy Hills, can you sign me out?"

She smiled, "Okay! I'll tell Master!"

"Thanks," I said, walking out.

Jellal got up from where he was leaning, "Ready to go?"

"Mm."

We walked the rest of the way in silence.
