Unexpected
"Screw this train." Eren mumbled under his breath. Every day he had to ride the stuffy train to school. Yawning, he looked around trying his luck to find a seat in this crowded train and swears the carbon dioxide level in the train is too high, probably just below the amount in his classroom. As usual, he failed to find somewhere to sit so he could have a short nap before school. Grabbing the closest handle hanging down from the top of the train he decided to have a go at the new thing he saw on the internet last night, sleeping while standing up. After three attempts and falling on a random stranger twice, he officially gave up trying. "Screw this train" he whispered again, the day seemed extra-long from the start already.
The train screeched to a halt, Eren quickly grabbed another handle before he slipped on some stranger again. "Mind the gap" the same robotic voice rang at the station, he's heard it so many times. "Time for school." He said to himself as he straightened his uniform and took out his phone while plugging in earphones. He walked casually to school, it was pretty early. The cool morning air slapped away his drowsiness, autumn was ending and winter was starting, his favourite season. Walking with his bare hands in his pocket, he quickly went through the math formulas for his math test in first period. Eren was a straight A student, currently 17 turning 18. Personally he thought his looks were average. He had black framed glasses that hid his unusual green eyes, messy but soft brown hair, he wasn't really tall but 170cm isn't really short either. Although he was more skinny than muscular, he is a very good badminton player. Just an average teenage boy that you could grab a bunch of when walking on the streets. What he didn't know was, he was actually really well known and attractive to a lot of people. Lots of girls even boys older or younger liked him secretly. He walked through the open school door and headed towards his classroom, but just before he stepped in… "EREEEENNNNNNN~~" he heard running and the next minute someone was hanging on his shoulders. "Uh…Hanji. Good morning to you too." Hanji was 18 turning 19 which made her be in the same year as Eren, they met during his most recent piano competition when Hanji and Eren both won first place. When they were having a chat after the competition, Hanji realised Eren was in the same school as her and one of the students in her year. It wasn't surprising they didn't know each other because they had a lot of people in their year. Most people didn't know other people from out of their own class. "Going to practice your piano today? Can you play that piece you were practicing last time? That Croatian Rhapsody whatever it's called piece? I LOVE THAT PIECE. IT FULLY REFLECTS MY FEELINGS TOWARDS SCHOOL!" She shouted out the last bit since it was early and there wasn't really a lot people in school at the moment. Hanji had good grades as well, she was one of the top 10 in the year, 4th in the year if he didn't remember wrong, but she didn't like school work, she wanted to become a pianist and planned to go to music school when she graduated. Speaking of top 10, Eren was always 2nd. Top in the year was always a guy called Levi. He never seen him before, but somehow Levi managed to always stay in front of Eren. "Eren?Errreenn? You listening to me?" Hanji asked concerned, "Oh right, sorry Hanji I have a math test first period I can't go today. Don't you have a math test as well Hanji?" Eren asked. "Ah right, its fine math is EASY PEASY" Hanji seemed like she couldn't care less, but Eren knew she probably did revise for it at home. "Haha alright. Well I should get going to class now, see you later." Eren laughed lightly "Byee Eren!" Hanji's voice faded away. He was in class, people started walking in one by one. Eren decided to take a small nap.
"Hey Eren wake up." Armin's voice appeared "Armin? What's the time?" Eren asked his friend with a small yawn. "Its five minutes before class, are you ready for the math test?" "Yeah, it's fine." Armin was 3rd in the year although he's below Eren in total, his math is normally better than Eren." That's good." That was all Armin could say because their teacher had walked in.
Eren thought the test went pretty well, he discussed it with Armin on the way to his second period class and figured he could have got in the 90s. Second period was a free session, he decided to go to the music room after he sent Armin to his second period class. The campus is pretty big, it would take around 15 minutes to walk there. Eren didn't really mind, it was nice and relaxing. When he walked there, he set his school bag down and started to practice the piece for his next competition. He hadn't practiced for more than 10 minutes when he started to feel drowsy again, the math test must have made him tired he thought. "Maybe I should take a quick power nap" he mumbled while yawning for the hundredth time this day and quickly fell asleep. He didn't know how long he slept until he was woken up by a knocking on the door, he quickly straightened his uniform and opened the door "Hello… Hanji?! What are you doing here? Don't you have class?" "Eren..uh no I don't have class." She said quickly "Ok so what's wrong? Do you need the room or something?" Eren asked. Hanji thought for a moment as if deciding if she should tell him something secret or not then answered "Well I kinda came here to see you and ask you to do something." "Ok? What is it? I'll try my best. Just saying beforehand no killing murdering stealing fighting cheating or anything similar." Eren joked. Hanji laughed a bit and said "Right, so, you remember the school ball is next week right?" "Yeah." She paused for a moment taking a deep breath and said loudly "I LOST A BET TO PETRA AND IT INVOLVES YOU IN IT. IM SO SORRY EREN." Eren listened to the loudly spoken sentence which Hanji said with no pause in between words and picked up a name "Petra?" Petra was his cousin, what has she said to Hanji? "Yes Petra, shes your cousin right? Well I didn't know that until today when we were talking. I said to her I would beat her in her math test and she said I wouldn't so we made a bet saying that whoever loses the bet needs to ask a guy to dress up as a girl to the ball. I agreed and she said to think of the guy I would be asking if I lost and tell her, and she would tell me the guy she would ask if she lost. I didn't think much and said your name, while I didn't miss the quick surprised look that flashed in her eyes, I was wondering if she knew you, but before I could ask, she said to go ask the teacher to mark our papers first. So we went." She paused then said "Petra got 96 and I got 95.5 and that was when she said to me, so you're asking Eren right? And I said yeah you know him? She had a mischief grin on her face and said he's my cousin."
Note:
Hello guys, I had this thought when I was on the train so I decided to give it a go… sorry if the first chapter was too short or anything. Hopefully I can update soon, I have already started my next chapter (yay!) Anyway, please leave a comment on anything I could change and yeah feel free to guess Eren's reaction haha
