Eren, being a little less than enthusiastic, dropped his math book on the library table and slouched into an uncomfortable chair next to Mikasa. Judging by her harsh glare, he had been too loud in doing so.

It's too quiet in here, he thought as he subconsciously started to tap the end of his pencil on the table.

Suddenly the pencil is out of his hand in Mikasas.

"Eren, you have to be quiet. Use this time to study for your test tomorrow." She whispers only loud enough for him to hear. She then sets the pencil down carefully, as if it were glass she wished not to break.

He rolled his eyes, opened his math book, then laid his head down against the pages. It's not like she actually expects me to study.. right?

He looked at everything except the book his head was rested on.

He watched Jean throw a crumpled up paper towards a trash bin, then pretend it wasn't him when said crumpled paper bounced off the rim and onto the floor.

He watched Sasha secretly pull some type of cracker from her pocket and shove it into her mouth the second the librarian looked away. He watched Connie watch all of this as well, from the table behind Sasha.

He watched Marco drink from the water fountain, and he cringed as Annie whacked both Reiner and Berthold on the head with her textbook.

Shifting his eyes towards the right, he sees the back of a head that belongs to a blonde...

"Mikasa,"

"Shh."

"Mikasaaaa,"

"What."

"Is that Crista?"

"Crista ditched school with Ymir today for Ymir's birthday." Mikasas eyes never came unglued to her book.

"Well who is she then?"

Mikasa shrugged her shoulders, but Eren hadn't noticed. He was fixated on the blonde two tables up and to the right of him.

Her hair was short, and she was sitting alone. The book in her hands was smaller than a textbook.

Is she... Is she reading for fun?!

Eren didn't understand how someone could enjoy reading... Maybe he could ask her about the book... or ask if shes new.. maybe ask for her name or her number...Honestly he just wanted to hear her voice. But he was nervous.

He didn't understand how he could become so fascinated by someone he had never even met. He couldn't call this a crush, could he?

"I want to meet her..." He mumbled to himself, not really meaning for someone to hear. That's why he was caught off guard when Mikasa replied.

"When the bell rings talk to her, then."

Could it be that simple? No, it couldn't be... She would think he was weird, or creepy... You can't just walk up to someone you've never met, and talk to them. it doesn't work that way. Even if they are new.

He spent the next 10 minutes of their free period staring at her, and trying to picture her face, and her voice... trying to imagine how tall she was... if her smile was bright.. the way she laughed... he was picturing her waving at him when the bell rang and interrupted his thoughts.

Groups of people gathered and cliques formed, everyone cramming at the door wanting to leave as quickly as possible.

Only a few stragglers were still in their seats, either finishing reading, packing their bags, or simply waiting out the crowd at the door. Within these stragglers, were Eren, Mikasa, the mystery blond girl, and jean.

Eren watched in disgust as Jean started to waltz towards the blonde. Without thinking, he stood up and interjected Jeans path, leaving mikasa and his stuff at the table.

"Jean! Hey.." He slowly lost confidence the closer he got to him.

"Hm?" Jean is forced to stop walking and face eren, which obviously annoys him. "What do you want." He showed no attempt to hide the venom in his tone.

"It's nice to see you, too..." Eren trailed off. "Who's she?" Eren glanced back at the blonde as he asked enthusiastically.

Jean glares at him. "He, is Armin Arlelt. He just transferred here. He's a really nice kid, don't give him your usual trouble."

Eren's face went bright red, and his eyes grew wide.

"Oi, Eren? Did you hear me?"

Eren turns around without saying a single word in reply and stiffly hustles back to his table, where a smirking Mikasa had been waiting (and probably listening). She handed him his bag, and followed closely behind as he hurried towards to library exit.

As Eren reached the library's door, he turned his head to look back, only to see Armin laughing at something Jean had said.

Shit... he thought.

Armin really was just as cute as Eren had pictured.

Please review and let me know how i can improve this.

Was anyone out of character? Was there spelling errors? Grammar errors? Wrongly placed punctuation?

Was it good? Bad? Cliche? Predicitbale?
