A/N: Hey'o! This is my first time writing Yumikuri – or a fanfic at all, so please be easy on me. ;w; Thanks! (Also, middle school because I'm a middle schooler and I know next to nothing about high school and how it runs. xD Also there's probably no middle school stories out there so I'll be original. ^^)

Krista sneezed as she waited beside a tall sign with a blue bus on it. The frosty air was nipping at her nose and fingers, and she'd had enough of this cold weather. Several other kids stood around her, some standing by themselves and others talking quietly or running around. It was the first day of school at the Wall Maria Middle S=chool, and Krista was going into the seventh grade. Eighth graders loomed around, cussing and spitting at each other. Krista shivered at the thought of them and watched as a long, old, beat-up bus came around the corner. Everyone got in, Krista being the last of the crowd. There weren't many empty seats left by time she made it in, and she sighed as she sat down to a pretty lean and bulky blond who was shouting things at his brunet friend. Krista stared at the floor, back straight. The blond boy noticed her and his expression lightened.

"Hi there," he greeted nicely. Krista slowly looked up at him, meeting his warm gaze. "my name's Reiner. You new here?" Krista fiddled with her thumbs.

"Y-yeah," she replied, blue eyes glistening and a few rays of light washed over her, her silky golden locks falling over her face and a kind smile spreading over her lips. "I'm Krista." Reiner, along with several other guys, blushed.

"Goddess…" he whispered, blue eyes wide.

"What was that?" Krista asked, tilting her head.

"I-I said," Reiner blushed fiercely and scratched his neck "what school did you go to before this?" Krista smiled and she was no longer tense. He seemed really nice.

"I was homeschooled," she replied, brushing a lock of blonde behind her ear. "this is my first time at a public school." Reiner looked like he was about to say something until a brunet with turquoise eyes shot out of his seat.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY, JEAN!?"

"BACK THE FUCK OFF, EREN! I DIDN'T SAY SHIT!" Another brunet shouted, except his hair was a lighter shade of brown.

"DO YOU WANNA GO, JEAN? WE CAN GO RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!" Eren lunged at Jean, grabbing him by his shirt, pulling him up. A girl with raven black hair grabbed Eren by the back of his shirt and ripped him away from Jean, grabbing Jean and practically throwing him to the front of the bus. She had near-black eyes that showed no emotion, and a bright red scarf rapped around her neck. She wiped her hands and grabbed Eren by his ear, dragging him to the very back of the bus and sitting him down next to her. They were arguing about something but they were out of earshot.

"What was-" Krista asked, being cut off by the bus coming to a sudden complete stop. The bus driver lifted his hand and waved it, students getting up and getting off, chatter starting among the much larger crowd.

"That was Jean and Eren," Reiner mumbled, "they're always getting into fights like that." Reiner looked around to avoid eye contact. "But they're both really nice regardless." A blush appeared on his face again when Krista smiled.

Reiner's eyes lit up even more when a tall- really tall –brunet approached. "Hey Bertl," he said, his voice much happier than it was previously. The boy smiled and was about to say something until his dark eyes met hers.

"Who's this?" He asked with a friendly smile. Krista returned the smile.

"I'm Krista," she said in a gentle, timid voice.

"Krista, huh? I'm Bertholdt, but you can call me Bert, or Bertl." Bertl reached out shake her hand. Krista grabbed his stronger hand and shook it gently, a small giggle escaping her lips. She turned her head and didn't hear Reiner shout something before she bumped into a lean, tall body.

"I'm so sorr-" blue eyes met gorgeous amber eyes, and Krista felt as if time stopped. She swore her heart skipped a beat when she looked into a tan, freckled, brunette face. The brunette's eyes widened for less than a nanosecond, and she quickly regained her guard.

"Watch it, short stuff!" she snapped, turning around with her arms crossed. She glared at Bertl then Reiner, then back to Krista. "Oh? What's a sixth grader like you hanging out with eighth graders like these two dopes?" Reiner growled and took a forward closer to the brunette.

"Watch your mouth, Ymir," he growled, Bertl placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Krista puffed her cheeks out and pouted. "I'm not a sixth grader! I'm a seventh grader!" Ymir, including Reiner and Bertl looked surprised to hear that. Ymir snickered and roared with laughter. She held her stomach and pointed at Krista.

"That's adorable! Look at her face, guys!" She elbowed Reiner and continued to laugh hysterically. She finished her laughing and wiped a tear from her eye. "I like you, kid," she ruffled Krista's golden hair, meeting her blue eyes and blushing ever so slightly before she let off another snicker and booped the small girl's nose. "Reiner, Bert," Ymir threw her hands behind her head and started walking away before yawning. "I think it's time to get to class." Bertl nodded and stared at the ground, waving to Krista before he walked away with the shorter brunette. Reiner hesitated.

"The seventh grade pod is upstairs." Krista smiled and nodded.

"Thanks, Reiner, so much." She waved and trotted off. Reiner released the breath he was holding in and blushed madly before running after Bertl.

Krista sat in homeroom smiling as she watched her new friends, Sasha and Connie bickering over a bag of chips.

"Screw off, Sasha! I'm the one who bought them!" Connie shouted.

"So?" Sasha pointed her tongue at him as she reached her hand into the bag and pulled potato chips out of it, shoving several chips into her mouth at a time. "I grabbed it first." She mumbled with a mouthful. Connie gaped and ran after Sasha, who started running around the classroom. Sasha was laughing as she poured the last crumbs into her mouth then threw the now crumbled and empty bag at Connie, who grabbed it and threw it to the front of the classroom, as soon as the deadly raven head came in, which it hit her on the face. She paused when it fell to the ground and she looked up to see who threw it. Connie gulped and tensed, then relaxed when the girl only shook her head and sighed. Sasha started laughing. "I thought she was gonna kill you," she snickered.

Connie sighed and sat down. "Me too." Sasha grabbed a seat next to Krista and Connie sat next to Sasha. Krista frowned.

"Why would she do that?" she asked, watching as Mikasa sat behind Sasha. The loud brunet, Eren, came behind her, along with a blond boy, who sat on either side of the raven head. Sasha shrugged.

"She's just scary sometimes," she turned around in her seat and grinned widely with sparkling eyes at the girl. "but she's mainly nice, huh, Mikasa?" Mikasa shrugged and looked to Krista, pulling her red scarf down and smiling. Sasha glanced over to Krista and wrapped her arms around the small blonde.

"This is Krista! She's so nice!" Sasha paused. "She gave me food!" Connie snorted and flicked Sasha's head. He smiled regardless and nodded.

"I'm Mikasa, and this is Eren," she pointed to the brunet next to her who grinned. "and this is Armin." Armin smiled politely and reached out a friendly hand.

"Nice to meet you," he said, Krista stretching her hand out and shaking it. She smiled warmly and nodded.

"You too." They released their handshake when a teacher walked in.

"Hello class! This will be your homeroom, and first period, science." The teacher smiled widely and pushed her glasses up. "You can call me Ms. Zoe!"

Krista returned to her room, falling into her large bed with a long sigh. She had made so many friends today. She could already tell the rest of the year would be a blast. She grabbed her pillow and buried her face in it as she remembered… what was her name? Ymir? Yeah… Ymir. Was she attracted to that brunette? I'm not a lesbian…. Krista thought, staring up at the ceiling. But… she's so… Krista bit her lip and pulled a diary from under her bed. It had a golden pen attached to it and a pink cover. It had several lighter pink hearts on the pink background and a "property of Krista Lenz! Do Not Touch! ;)" written across it. Krista opened it up and nothing was written inside it. She had this thing for 5 years. She guessed it could be to use now…

Krista spent about ten minutes writing.

Dear Diary,

I made so many friends at Wall Maria Middle School. Reiner, Bertl, Sasha, Connie, Armin, Mikasa, Eren, Jean, Marco, Mina… but I find Ymir the most interesting… I think I like her? I don't know. She's an 8th grader. She's really pretty. Tan skin, amber eyes, freckles, a lean body, dark brown hair… she's just really wow. Something about her draws me toward her too… I can't quiet put my finger on it though. I'm not a lesbian! But I like her… I guess that makes me a lesbian huh, actually… well, that's all for today, I guess!

After proof-reading Krista closed the book and put the pen down, laying down on her bed. Ymir….

A/N: That's all, for now! I'll be doing weekly updates, but it's an 80% chance I'll be grounded before Saturday, so I might be gone for awhile. Hope no one was OOC! If you think so, please tell me how to fix it! Hope you enjoyed!
