I remember that day as if it was yesterday. That day shouldn't have been as special as it was if it wasn't for 2 things:
1. The person was a guy
2. The person was the cutest freshman I've seen in my high school life
Now you must be wondering what happened and what the hell I'm talking about. That day was a special day without me even knowing it. I know the beginning will sound cliché, and saying that it's cliché makes it more cliché, but there's no other way to put it, so deal with it shitty brats. It was the last day in hell and we were going to be taking finals and then leave so we can go on and figure out our future. This is the day I have been waiting for.
Levi's POV
"LEEEEEEVVVVIIIII!" sounded an all too familiar voice
'God fucking dammit!' I whisper to myself hoping she will just not notice me and keep going, which chances are below 0.
"MORNING LEVI! How are you doooing?" asks the devil himself in her annoying singsong voice as she walks up to my side. Hanje with her sidekick Erwin.
'There goes another peaceful morning' I tell myself. Not like its anything new cause it's been the same crap for the past 4 years, but a man can dream.
Me, Hanje and Erwin have been close people, or as the call it, "friends", for over 4 years, which is basically all of high school. It's not like I don't consider them friends, but I won't ever say it out loud as to not give Hanje any sort of accomplishment as what our relationship is and keep her craziness at bay. Erwin is a different story because I actually met him in 8th grade after he helped me turn my life around. He's one of the few people I would take a bullet for, which that list is basically him and Hanje, but that is another thing I will NEVER tell both of them.
"Great till you showed up with your loud mouth, shitty four-eyes" I tell her rather boldly. It's not like it hurts her in anyway. It actually makes her happier which is more annoying.
"Awww, I'm glad I made your morning go from great to greater. That's what I'm here for Levi. All ways call me when you need cheering up" she tells me while leaning in as to give me a hug.
"You touch me and you're dead. I don't know what kind of germs you carry with you." The kids in this school are germ bags and I try my best to stay away from them as to not catch whatever the hell they have.
"Not much, only what some kid had when he sneezed on me" Hanje tells me with a crazy look in her eyes.
She starts to lean on to me again as if to give me a hug. I knew she was going to taunt me once I knew that some guy probably sneezed on her which is the most disgusting thing.
"Hanje I fucking swear to god I will spray the whole can of Lysol that's in my bag all over your filthy clothes" I snarl at her with the most menacing look hopping she will get away and leave me the hell alone.
"But Leviiiii!" She acts like a small child. "I want love!" She tells me with puppy dog eyes.
"Go fucking hug Erwin, he'll give you one" I tell her while trying to put some distance between her and me.
"Yeah, I already did Levi. It's your turn" Says Erwin while he looks at me with a smug smile. Fucking bastard doesn't even help me.
"When I'm dead" I back up as much as possible from Hanje. I knew she was kidding about the sneeze thing but I'm not very fond of hugs anyways.
As I back up, I bump into something or more like someone who was standing right behind me. I feel, or more like hear the kid fall right on his ass with a large 'thud' and a small yelp. I turn around only to be met with a kid on the floor with his head down rubbing his back where his ass met the ground. He had his hair on his forehead covering his eyes so I couldn't see his face at all. I reach out to the kid, even though I don't want to touch him, because I felt bad he hit the ground so hard.
"Hey brat, are you ok?" I ask him as he starts to recognize he's on the floor. He looks around and then he looks up at me and that's when I froze up.
The kid was hunched over on the floor, his arms supporting him. He looked like he was probably a freshman considering his face had a cute baby look to it. He was wearing a brown messed up shirt all wrinkly and in need of some ironing and tight jeans that fit him perfectly even though they looked a little worn out and faded. As I study his face, he is wearing big and round glasses that could cover his whole face. They were tilted awkwardly, probably cause of the fall, and dangling of his ear. His messy brown hair was sticking out from different places which didn't look as bad as it should. The thing that captured me the most though, were his eyes. The color looked as if the ocean had met with the forest in the most amazing turquoise color. I feel as if I could stare at them forever and get lost-….
'What the hell are you thinking about Levi? Chill!' I think to myself. I just met this kid, and not in a pleasant way
The kid stares at me for a while with his eyes big as if he had seen a ghost and the cutest blush for some reason. I shake my hand as to signaling him if he was going to take it.
"So? I don't have all day brat." I tell the kid
The kid seemed to have gathered his senses and scrambles to fix his glasses and grab his bag off the floor. He then takes my hand and looks at me straight in the eyes.
"T-Thank you, H-Heichou. I'm sorry, I didn't see where I was going and I accidentally bumped into you. S-Sorry!" He says. He quickly bows as to show how sorry he is. How does he know my name?
"Get up kid; it wasn't that big of a deal. I'm fine and you're fine so there's no need for so much sorry" I tell him calmly with the same facial expression, showing no emotions toward the subject. He still has that blush on his face for some reason and seems to want to look at everything else but me.
"Hehe, yeah, I-I'm glad. I wouldn't want you to get hurt Heichou." He tells me.
"Yeah yeah, I don't know why you would care for such an asshole like me but that's your choice I guess… um…" I say. I just noticed I don't know this brats name and here I am standing like an idiot trying to figure it out. I guess he notices that I'm having trouble and tells me his name.
"Eren… Eren Jaeger, and I will care about you because it's nice to care about the people you like!" he retorts.
He suddenly covers his moth as if trying to take back what he says, but it's too late now. To look on his face tells me that he didn't want anyone hearing that, and I am extremely surprised to say the least. His blush could compare to a tomato at this point. I hear gasps next to me and when I look, Hanje and Petra are looking at both of us wide eyed with huge grins on their faces as they've seen the cutest thing and Erwin with a small grin on his face. I forgot they were here, and when did Petra get here?
When I look back, the kid is still in the same position he was. He seemed to have recovered and he starts to put his hands in a form of surrender and starts blabbing at me.
"I-I-I m-mean, I care about e-everyone, I didn't m-mean anything like that H-Heichou!" He spat out as quickly as he could.
Doesn't matter now though, I now knew the little brat had a thing for me and to be honest, I felt flattered cause the kid wasn't bad looking. The only problem is that this is my last year and after today, it's not likely I will see him again so there's no chance of a relationship. The kid waited too long to get his emotions out even if they were by accident. It's too bad actually since he was pretty cute.
I sigh, "look brat, I am flattered by you confession there about you liking me, but I'm going to have to turn you down. It's just tha-"suddenly, I'm interrupted by a loud screaming coming from down the hall.
"EREN! Eren! Are you ok?!"
Down the hall came down a girl with jet black, shoulder length hair and a boy almost the same height as her and with the same length of hair as her (surprisingly) but blonde. They seemed to know Eren very well by the way they came rushing frantically down the hall screaming his name.
"Eren, are you ok?! We hear you fell or something after you left and I didn't know where you were and, and-"the girl said frantically until she was stopped by Eren.
"Mikasa calm down, I'm perfectly fine. I just fell on my butt after I tripped and I'm not dead so everything's good. You can calm down now." Eren said smoothly. She then suddenly averted her eyes at me and squinted them a little as if I was someone she knew. I looked at her with the same expression, not appreciating her looking at me.
"Hey Eren… Isn't that the guy you wanted to as-hmphhh!"She said not being able to finish when Eren clamped down a hand on her mouth preventing her from what she was going to say. Whatever she was about to say, I'm pretty sure it was about me, which got me confused and wanting to hear ehat she was about to say.
"Haha, Mikasa, why don't we talk about this at home later huh? Let's just go now" he said while standing up and taking Mikasa with him, his hand still on her mouth. "Armin, you too come on, we have test to take." I think he was referring to the blonde kid that was with Mikasa.
Armin seemed to have snapped out of a trance he had from looking at something behind me, and fumbled to stand next to Eren. Eren then proceed to take his hand off of Mikasa's mouth and turn her and Armin around by holding them by their backs. He then directed his attention to me over his shoulder and spoke.
"S-Sorry again about that Levi…..., I-I mean Heichou. Good luck on your test today, BYE!" I just stood there and watched as he walked away sort of surprised at what happened right now. The brat seemed to know my other name too. I was so caught up in the moment until Hanje and Petra walked up to my sides, snapping me out of my thoughts. I was pretty sure they were going to annoy me about the whole thing since they heard and saw everything that happened.
"Well wasn't that just the cutest thing you've ever seen?!"Screamed out Hanje right into my ear, which annoyed the crap out of me.
"Fucking four-eyes! Don't scream in my ear" I reply back harshly.
"It was so sad you had to let him down, though I kind guess why you did. I'm surprised with you today Levi. You handled it pretty calmly with minor insults" Said Petra with a nod of her head and a small smile on her face.
I knew she knew why I did it and I have no regrets after I did it. Though the kid seemed to have feelings for me, it wasn't going to work. Kind of sad since this could have been my first relationship I had, but oh well. I'll find someone along the way sooner or later.
After a minute of standing there with Hanje bickering about the whole ordeal, the bell to go to class and take our test rang. We all went to our classes, agreeing to meet up after school to say our "sad goodbyes" and shit even though I didn't agree the first time. I really just wanted to go home afterwards since I knew for a fact we are going to see each other a lot during summer, and for the rest of our adulthood for that matter. The tests were easy and I was glad I finished all in time so I can go stand and listen to Hanje's speech and go home. As for the kid, Eren, I didn't see him after school or through the halls which was kind of disappointing. I never actually gave him a reason why I didn't return his feelings cause of that girl Mikasa interrupting. Oh well; I doubt that after today ill see his face ever again.
How wrong was I?
