Teenage Minds

Chapter 7- My Sin

It was a school morning. Jellal and Erza were in the car, driving to school. "Can we stop at a gas station?" Erza asked as she shifted her signature ponytail. "Why?" Jellal looked at her in the rear view mirror. "I hurt inside," Erza complained. Jellal kinda looked awkward and blushed at the same time. "Uh.." said a dumbfounded Jellal.

"What'd you expect?" Erza started, "I was a daisy fresh girl now look what you've done to me," Erza sat back in her seat. "..fine" Jellal said as guilt slowly engulfed him whole. But what made it harder was the outfit that Erza was wearing. He pulled over at a gas station and Erza hopped out, the ruffles at the top of her blue and white checkered crop top bounced up. The crop top stopped a little after the chest. She wore blue jean high waisted shorts.

Though her style was a bit on the innocent side, it brought desire out of Jellal. He held the steering wheel, his head leaning on it. "Why does this girl do this to me?" Jellal asked himself. He was replaying last night. Everything last night. That was until he spotted Erza talking to someone in the gas station. He saw Erza point at him and the man looked at Jellal through the window. The man had a pipe in his mouth, smoking searing from it. Then he noticed the man count out some money and gave Erza what looked like a bag of Cheez-it's, which Erza gladly accepted.

She skipped out the store with the cheesy snack in her hands. She sat in the car, and immediately, Jellal snatched the bag from her. "Hey!" Erza pouted. "What did that man say to you?" Jellal asked as he took a bite out of one of the Cheez-its. "He asked who I was with and then he told me he'd pay for my food," Erza shrugged, taking the snack back. He probably thought she was a kid, but how could he with that delicious- Jellal's thoughts were soon cut off by Erza. "Why do you care anyway?" Erza asked, munching on the crackers.

"Your safety," Jellal said strictly while pulling off from the gas station. Erza just continued eating. "We're going to be late for school," Erza reminded. "Because you," Jellal chuckled faintly. All of the sudden, Erza punched Jellal in the arm. "Ow!" He winced in pain. "For snatching!" Erza smiled evilly. Jellal just rolled his eyes.

At School...

"Hey Erzy!" Levy greeted in advisory. "Hey Lev," Erza sat down with the group. "You were late," Lucy informed. "Miss Cheney's never late" Gray teased. "I'm not taking that last name. And we stopped at the gas station" Erza explained. "You forget, she's taking the last name Fernandes," Mira smirked. Erza just mouthed what Mira said in a mocking way. "Forget that! The Fall Ball is coming up!" Lucy squealed. "I'm gonna trick Jellal into buying me a dress. His parents have hella cash, plus, Violet-San loves me, I'm sure she'll help me out" Erza concluded.

"You could come dress shopping with Mira, Lucy, and I!" Levy smiled. "Sounds like a plan!" Erza nodded.

Meanwhile, with Jellal..

"You guys were super loud last night" Rogue complained. "You can't complain, I heard you and Karuga all the time," Jellal shrugged. "It's Kagura" Rogue corrected. "That explains why you were so late," Sorano smirked. "She wanted to stop at the gas station" Jellal said. "Why?" Erik asked. "You guys sure are nosy. Her insides hurt, as she put it," Jellal quoted, ignoring the fangirls swooning over him from afar. "Sounds like a Wattpad story to me. I Lost my virginity at 15," Sorano joked. "More like she did," Sting added.

"Hey guys!" A pink haired girl waved at the group. "Meredy!" Sorano squealed as she sat down. "I haven't seen you in awhile since spring break" Sorano smiled. "I love what you did with your bangs" Meredy complimented. "Word on the street is that Erza's been staying at your place," Meredy smirked. "That's old news," Erik grunted. "How come I just heard about this?" Meredy looked dumbfounded. "You're always the last one" Macbeth added. "Macbeth?!" Everyone at the table shouted a bit. "You didn't know I was here?" He asked. "I mean, you didn't talk during this entire discussion" Rogue stated.

"She made me feel so guilty though," Jellal added, getting back on topic. "What do you mean?" Meredy asked, completely oblivious. Sorano whispered in her ear and almost immediately Meredy turned cherry red. "When we were at the gas station she told me, she was a daisy fresh girl and look what I've done to her," Jellal quoted. "You never felt guilty before," Erik shrugged. "But look at her," Jellal pointed at Erza who was laughing, her pigtails moving every chuckle. "You love her" Meredy snickered. "I'm just saying she looks so...innocent." Said Jellal.

"She's growing just a little bit, though," Jellal sighed to himself. "This seems a bit depressing yet so beautiful. Anyways," Sorano swooned in the beginning, "the gangs all here, what do ya wanna do next?" Sorano asked. "You forgot about Sawyer?" Erik asked. "What, your boyfriend?" Macbeth teased. "Quiet you emo" Erik growled. "You remember he has a thing with Kinana" Sting reminded. "And I'm not tryna ruin it" Erik informed. Just then, the bell rang, signaling that it was time to first period.

After 2nd Period...

Erza went to her locker and what she saw absolutely devastated her. The words 'Erza Scarlet Orphan SLUT' were written on her locker. "Erza.." she felt Lucy's hand touch her shoulder. Tears formed in her eyes as Minerva and her posses stood there, watching her, laughing. Along with the other mindless sheeple. "Please Minerva, count your days," she said. She grabbed her things, slapped Minerva, and ran for it. "Erza?" Jellal reached out But was greeted by the slap of a hand across his cheek. Not like her usual, playful slaps. But a hard one. One that left a red handprint across his face.

Then again, Erza ran out of the school, not finishing any of her classes. Meredy and Sting ran up to Jellal. "Bro, what happened?" Sting questioned. "Minerva," Jellal growled as he made his way to Minerva. "Senpai!" A girl reached for his arm but he coldly brushed her hand off. "Minerva, why the hell would you do that?" Jellal asked harshly. "What?" Minerva asked as if she hadn't done anything. "Excuse me, what is all this ruckus?!" Mr.Mashima approached.

"What is this written on the locker?!" Mr.Mashima shouted, outraged. "Minerva vandalized locker 122," Lucy chimed in. "Miss Orland, is this true?" Mr.Mashima asked, making direct eye contact with Minerva. "We have witnesses!" Meredy added. "I'm one of them," Erik said from in the corner. "Miss Orland, you must immediately speak to Mr.Makarov!" Mr.Mashima said strictly. "Bastards," Minerva grumbled looking fiercely at Lucy, Erik, and Meredy. Jellal immediately brought his attention back to Erza. He never received such a hard slap from her before.

There was only one thing he thought of to make it up to her.
