Battling With Fate *Jerza* FTWattyAwards

A Scarlet Letter

Jellal's POV

I scanned the classroom. Nope. Still no sign of her. It's been three days now. Four if you count today. I haven't seen her anywhere since Saturday.

Saturday; officially dubbed as the worst day of the week.

I sighed as I sat down at an empty desk in the back.

I feel like everybody's ignoring me. And since Monday, the entire school hasn't been making more than a squeak and eventually split into three groups. One with the Fairy Tail group, one with my group. Most of the populars sided with the FT group. The third group is neutral, siding with neither side.

Every time our two groups meet head to head, it's a glaring battle. Honestly, I don't give a crap about all this. It's just annoying, especially when all the little hopeless fangirls are on my 'side'.

And even the nice ones from FT are avoiding me as if I have Ebola or some other kind of deadly disease.

One reason I hate this school; news spreads like wildfire. Apparently one student saw what happened at the park and told her friends, which turned into a chain of people finding out.

Briiiiiiinnnggg!

I jumped a bit as the bell rang.  I sighed once more as I headed for lunch. Bumping into a certain white haired girl.

"Sorry!" Mira apologized as she turned towards me. "Oh! It's you."

"Hi Mira." I greeted blankly.

Mira is the only person who actually talks to me nowadays. The rest of the group wants to murder me.

"Mira. Where's Erza?" I asked for the thousandth time this week. "Please. I need to know."

The silver haired girl bit her bottom lip, something flashing I'm her blue eyes.

"I don't know," she replied eventually.

"Please Mira! I need to know!" I begged.

"Erza told me not to even mention this to you, but. . ." Mira hesitated. "She's at the airport." She blurted out.

"Why is she at the airport?" I burst out.

Then I put the pieces together. The letter she dropped last Sunday. And the airplane ticket that drifted out of the envelope. It wasn't for Mira after all. It was for her.

"She wasn't going to move again." Mira said uncomfortably. "But what happened at the park kinda fueled her decision to fly to Edolas."

"When's her flight?" I asked urgently.

"Today. And the plane takes off at 12:37."

I checked my watch. Shoot. It's 12:19.

I ran out of the school, Mira shouting something.

Whatever. I'm gonna miss her leave.

I sped down the highway on my motorcycle, ignoring the speed limit signs. I parked in a hurry, the huge airport in view.

I ran in. I saw people milling around, either going out or in. I quickly checked the time.

12:31.
