The Popular Boy 😎 (Reader x Jellal x Erza)

Start from the beginning
                                    

You eventually stopped crying and just sat there looking at the beautiful blue sky. It only had a few clouds and when you did see a cloud, it was always shaped into some weird creature. You continue sky gazing until you get tired and eventually go home.

An uneventful day that one was.

~~~

"Did you hear?" Lucy pops up behind you and causes you to jump in place.

You breathe heavily, trying to regain your posture. "Please don't scare me like that again, I've gotten enough scares for one week. Wait, what are you talking about?"

"Erza and Jellal!" She smiles so easily for those two. She has no idea how much you're really suffering on the inside.

"So what?" You spit as you slam things around in your locker.

She seemed shocked by your reaction. If anything, she thought you would be happy for them. She just couldn't realize you felt more dead then happy on the inside.

"Well, it turns out that the date went super great! Erza said that they even kissed!" Lucy jumps in excitement for the two happy couple.

You slam your locker and walk away. Without looking at her you spit more words out of your mouth. "I don't give a shit." It really wasn't your best week...

~~~

You were pumped and ready to go for this big test. You knew that you were going to ace it, but Natsu and Gray wouldn't be too lucky on this one. Poor guys, if only they studied with you instead of fighting.

"Alright students! Ready, set, write!" Professor Happy yells with a fish in his small little mouth. You questioned the people that they chose to hire for this school, but whatever, Happy was cool.

Time went by way to fast and you were the first one done with the test. It was funny sitting there and watching Natsu and Gray go nuts over their papers. Most of the class went through it, but they seemed more exhausted then you did. Well, you and the class president... Erza Scarlet. You two were the top two students in this school. A competition for the smartest female almost happened, thanks to Natsu.

You and Erza were close friends, but at the moment you hated her guts. She and Jellal wouldn't stop passing damn notes during class and giggling. She almost never giggled like a little school girl, but when Jellal was around, she'd melt into a puddle of... well... GIRLINESS!

You felt so heart broken and stupid. Of course the most popular guy I school would go for the busty class president with red hair!

You clench your fists and let a small frustrated stream of tears slip from your eyes. You brushed them away quickly with your sleeve in hopes of no one finding out you were crying, but you were careless.

~~~

"(Y/N)." You knew that voice. The one voice you had hoped to never hear again.

"Yeah?"

You were walking away from class when Jellal came running after you. "What's up?" You asked casually, hoping he didn't hear the hint of death and depression in your voice.

"What's up?" He mocks with a pissed tone. "What do you mean? What's up with you? You've been ignoring me, looking like you've been through Hell, and you even cried during class. What's going on with you?" He lost his anger and was showing how genuinely worried he was about you.

You smile to get him to leave you alone. You were in the middle of the hall with students passing by and you didn't really feel like crying in front of all your classmates. "What are you talking about? I'm fine."

"Please tell me what's wrong." He asked with his kind and caring voice that made your knees weak. The one voice that now belonged to Erza Scarlet. That thought kind of made you sick.

You froze in place, keeping your head down so he would see your watering eyes. "Damn it." You whispered to yourself and turned to run far away from him. You'd rather make a scene of running away than crying in the middle of the hall, so that's what you did.

You ran as fast as you could so you wouldn't have to deal with the greatest guy in the world.

~~~

You panted hard with your head down and your hands on the rails of the roof. You felt as if you were going to cough out a lung, maybe some blood. Tears were streaming down your cheeks like a river as you try to regain your strength to head back inside.

All of a sudden the door to the roof slammed open, revealing a panting Jellal. "(Y/N)!" He stops at the door with his hand clutched around the door knob. "Why are you running from me?!"

Jellal shuts the door and heads your way, hoping to get any straight answer from you. "(Y/N)." He finally reached you but didn't expect you to be so angry with him.

"Every time I see you and Erza together, it's like I'm getting punched in the chest. I hate it! I want to be the one to go on dates with you, hug you, kiss you, and be with you." Your shouting subsided and became more of a sob. "But I can't because I'm not Erza. I'm not tall, busty, cute, or even anywhere near Erza's level."

"(Y/N)." He grabs you and pulls you in to hug you tight, trapping you against him and the rail. "Don't you realize I wanna be with you too?"

You thought that maybe you had fallen off the edge and were dreaming or maybe you fell earlier and hit your head. Anything because Jellal. your first love, wouldn't just say that. Right?

You look up at him. "What about Erza?"

"We only went on one date so it's not like we're boyfriend and girlfriend or anything. Besides, I thought you were dating Natsu or Gray. You're always with them, so I decided to try and get over my crush. I thought dating Erza would help." He looked embarrassed telling you all this, but sadly enough, it was the truth.

"Wait, you thought I was dating Natsu or Gray?! Also, Lucy told me you guys kissed too?! And why are you just now telling me all of this?!" You asked flabbergasted.

"You do hang out a lot, I hardly doubt a kiss on the cheek from her counts, and I was nervous." He counts on his fingers as he goes through your list of questions. "I really do love you. I know it may not seem like it, but I've probably loved you ever since freshman year. Basically when we first met."

You hide your face in his chest and groan. "You're an ass."

"Why's that?" He laughs, hugging you tighter.

"You made me feel like crap. I thought you really liked Erza." You talk into his shirt.

"Don't worry, you're the only girl I like." He assures you and lightly kisses the top of your head.

"The girls are going to kill me."

"I won't let them."

"Erza's going to hate me."

"But I'll love you."

"You love me?"

"Yeah."
