Chapter 1 – New Day

Bzzzt Bzzzt

The alarm had been ringing for a good 20 minutes or so now, but its owner had already left the room. Sasha had been up for hours, she wasn't much of an early bird but she was too nervous to sleep. So she went out for a morning jog around her town of Shinganshina. She was good at running she liked how she could taste the fresh air, the pounding of her heart would be in sync with her feet and the whole experience would take her mind off things and boy did she need it. Today was her first day at Titan High and after ending Middle school on such a bad note she was worried, just thinking about it would make her feel sick to the stomach. She made her way back the building she grew up in, Maria Rose Orphanage. Just imagine one of those old decaying buildings that are never depicted with sunshine and rainbows that's Maria Rose. Regardless of its appearance this was home to Sasha even if she hated most days in it. Its felt like she had lived here forever but her records show that she had been living here since she was 3 years of age, so she did have a family at some point. As she made her way up the landing to the first floor she turned to see the second door on the left open and a redhead storm out.

"Sasha! You had better turn that fucking alarm off now before I throw it and you out the window!"

"Yeah yeah…" murmured Sasha as she strolled by the red head's room towards her own.

"Don't you yeah yeah me potato girl get your ass in there and-" her voice was cut off the fact that Sasha had slammed her door to shut out the chaotic noise outside her room. She was lucky enough to have her own room, well if you could call it lucky that no one wanted to actually bunk with you. Sasha was a hard person to get along with. As a child she struggled making friends due to her shy nature and when she did make friends they always seemed to betray her, she became progressively paranoid around others never letting people become close to her the only exception was her" best friend" from middle school and she wouldn't make that mistake again.

"Shit I'm gonna be late! I still need to shower!" Sasha huffed as grabbed her clean kit and bolted out the room towards the hopefully vacant washroom, and of course it wasn't.

"Ughh great now I'll have to skip breakfast" Sasha whined as she hung her head in total depression supported by her right hand on the wall.

"Hey Tayto, what's this I hear? You? Skipping breakfast!? Did I miss something or has the world just run out of food?" Sniggered a dark haired boy much shorter than herself.

"Big brother please don't tease me" Sasha grinned seeing an opportunity to tease him herself. "Or I'll I might have to get my revenge by calling you little brother now that I'm taller than you." Giggling before she could even finish what she was saying.

"You wouldn't?!" Levi growled a small blush forming on his face forced him to turn away. He quickly composed himself and turned back to see that stupid grin on her face was still there. "Anyways you idiot hurry up and finish up we'll walk to school together" he had already turned a started to walk off not taking no for an answer.

"oh… okay sure" Sasha's grin quickly faded as she was reminded of the grim day ahead of her.

"Don't keep me waiting spud" his voice travelled down the hall but he was already gone from sight, probably back to the boys' wing to get his bag.

To her dismay she was finally ready, dressed in her Titan High uniform which consisted of a white short sleeved shirt with a light brown blazer and a red ribbon. Her only issue with the uniform was the gray short skirt; Sasha disliked skirts anyways but to have one this short!? I mean the breeze you'd catch up there made you feel like you were walking around butt naked, not to mention the issue of sitting down and using stairs! Ugh the struggles' of girl life. She had put her hair in her traditional ponytail, not bothered with the fact that you could tell she hadn't brushed it. Slinging her school bag over her shoulder she ran to the front lobby hoping that she hadn't kept Levi waiting too long.

"For someone who brags about how fast she can run a mile, you sure are slow at everything else" fired Levi has he exacted his revenge on the late girl. Sasha just shot him an apologetic look that made Levi feel slightly guilty. "Well, don't you look grown up in your uniform Tayto?" says the proud older brother.

"Ugh c'mon really? What are you my dad?" he might has well have been. Levi had always been there for her, only being there 3 weeks longer than she had, he still watched over her, defended her, made her feel… wanted. He is the only person in the world to her that was worthy of being family, so she adopted to calling him Big brother.

"Ah you're right! Must be that-Wonderful –Huge!Breakfast I had this morning making me all cheery" Levi said with a glint in his eye trying to wined-up Sasha, and it did… Sasha was broken and deflated to the ground in seconds. "Ah, so you did skip breakfast? And I was looking forward to eating this hot potato I smuggled out the kitchens" Sasha's ears twitched "but I guess you can-" Levi couldn't even finish is gloating before he was bear-hugged into submission by the taller girl.

"I love ya Big brother!" the girl practically yelled it down the hall.

They walked side by side down the road; Sasha had already demolished the hot potato before they had the chance to leave the orphanage but surprisingly enough not much conversation had gone on between the two considering all the drama this morning.

"You're nervous?" being the closely attentive older brother he was it didn't take him long to work out why she was so quiet.

"Y-yeah…" Sasha choked "I hate school"

"How would you know? You're new to this one and so is everyone else for that matter" he had that serious tune in his voice.

"Yeah but most people would know there friends from middle school" the taller girl was sounding more and more like she was finding an excuse for not making any friends.

"Sasha…" it was rare when Levi used her real name, it normally meant she was in trouble or he was going to lecture her. "Please try to make friends, don't start the year off by telling everyone to fuck off like you did in middle school" Sasha's giggling interrupted him. "It's not funny! I'm shocked you even managed to make one friend during then with a start like that, speaking of Ymir isn't she attending Titan High too?"

Sasha halted leaving Levi a few paces in front her only to notice she had stopped a little late. He turned around and quickly became aware of the empty look on her face.

"She's not my friend, no one has earned that right besides you big brother." It was said so coldly, when did you lose all your friends Sasha? Levi was lost, always looking out for her and he'd never failed once or so he had thought. But he had a plan; if she won't make friends of her own then I'll just introduce her to mine, at least that way she could get some practice.

"Come on Spud, let's go I promised I'd meet a friend on the way here" a friend? Sasha thought, Levi was a 3rd year at Titan High not to mention running for student council president being so outgoing and popular of course he would have friends but she never thought of him having anyone but her, she felt like a burden. "Her name is Petra and she's a wonderful person."

They arrived at the house, she felt butterflies in her stomach as she wanted to try and make a good impression towards Petra for her Big brothers sake, but she couldn't help sticking close to Levi's side. A short girl walked out with light ginger hair and hazel eyes.

"Hey Levi, long time huh?" she caught a glimpse of Sasha and smiled sweetly "o-oh… who's this"

"Petra this is Sasha" Levi smiled as he gave Sasha's arm a reassuring squeeze.

"It's nice to finally meet you Sasha. Levi talks about you a lot… you must be very special to him." Hearing someone else say those words warmed Sasha's heart, she liked this girl, she understands their relationship and she didn't get the impression she would intentionally try to break their bond.

"I-It's nice to meet you too… P-Petra" the younger girl stammered out her words.

"See? That wasn't so hard was it?" Levi was satisfied when he received a blush from Sasha feeling embarrassed for worrying over what now seemed like nothing.

Petra and Levi walked a few paces in front of Sasha, too engage in catching up to notice they were leaving the girl out, but she didn't mind… this was the first time she saw her Big brother with a friend and she found herself studying him like an endangered species.

Hmm… whose taller I wonder? Levi maybe by 2 or 3cm? hehe, so he is taller than at least one girl. She could feel a stupid grin forming on her face. Picturing them in little elf costumes packing toys in boxes… Err… okay that got a little weird, back to reality Sasha!

"Well, we're here" the dark haired boy turned towards Sasha. "You ready?"

"e-err… I guess I don't have much choice" she had mentally accepted it, yet her body was not going to budge.

The redhead walked up besides her putting a hand on her shoulder "It's going to be fine Sasha, but if you hinder much longer you are going to miss your opening ceremony." She smiled warmly at her "we'll walk you there and help you find your place, okay?"

"Hey! Voice of reason's my job Petra otherwise I won't get much screen time" whined the 'older' boy.

"Screen time!? Aha, awhhh~ sorry Captain Attention" teased the light haired girl.

Sasha had been holding her breath the moment she stepped past the grand gates; her face looked like a puffer fish as she resorted to taking small slurps of air at a time. All she could think about was how she wanted to hold Levi's hand as he guided her though the danger zone. It'd reminded her of the times Levi would have to find and bring her back after dark as a child. Madam Wall, the head lady at the orphanage disliked Sasha and she made that perfectly clear. They would have countless arguments, And Wall would use her power to crush Sasha emotionally, there's not much you have to say to a kid abandoned by her own parents to make her feel like crap. And one night she never returned from school.

"Arhhh come on! It's getting late, where the hell are you Sasha!" A young boy sat on the edge of the window peering out into the dark.

|Bzzt Bzzt|

"A message!?" Levi's eyes widened upon reading the message

|Big brother, please come get me, I'm in the park… I'm scared|

"That idiot!" he was angry, No! He was fuming with her! but above all he was petrified that something had or was going to happen to her if he didn't get to her. He wasted no time, not even the time it took to put shoes on, running past Madam Wall's office and straight out the door. Useless Woman! She probably wasn't aware that Sasha was missing not that she'd actually care if she did.

He arrived at the park only to realize why Sasha said she was scared, a gang of much older kids, if you could call them kids were hanging around the park one of whom Sasha got verbally offensive with last week and I'm pretty sure you'd remember the little brat that said "you're prove that evolution can go backwards!" she always was a smart mouth lacking the judgment to assess a situation correctly before doing something stupid.

Levi gulped; he knew Sasha must be hiding inside the tunnel and in order to get to her he would have to pass the gang. He calmed his breathing and began walking into the park and sure enough he attracted the attention of the older boys.

"Oi get a load of this kid" a tall teenager with black semi-longhair and a growing beard rallied the other members to his side. "Looks like someone already mugged him" he sniggered "Hey kid! Where's did your shoes go?" the gang added to the harassment by laughing and asking each other if they had their shoes. Levi glared at them from the corner of his eye but continued walking over towards the tunnel. "Hey! I asked you a question!" completely ignoring them he knelt down at the opening to the tunnel and smiled, Sasha was there sitting with her head between her legs and hands over her head.

"Hey Tayto, Let's get out of here" in a sweet voice he held his hand out to her. She sniffed wiping away her tears and took his hand. They emerged from the tunnel only to have their path blocked by the aggravated boys.

"Don't ignore me kid or I might force your attention on me" his dark eyes shifted to Sasha.

"You fuckwi-" Sasha's insult was halted by Levi's hand. But it didn't work she had caught the attention of her past victim and a brunet with a receding hairline pushed his way from the back of the gang.

"You! You're the little bitch from the other week!" he snarled at the girl which slowly turned into a grin making Sasha shiver. "I've been meaning to pay you back for hurting my feelings!" he said that with such sarcasm that you'd think wasn't capable of feeling anything. He lunged his hand out to grab the girl making her flinch.

"Gghah…" the brunet was on all fours in the dirt; Levi had kicked him so hard in the shin that he lost his balance altogether falling to the floor. The other members were in shock for a second staring at their fallen comrade in disbelief.

"WELL SHIT KID, YOU'VE PISSED ME OFF NOW!" the bearded juvenile's face was masked in rage, eyes wide and lips trembling from excitement, he cracked his knuckles and step towards the younger kids.

Levi pushed Sasha behind him. I'll protect her no matter what!

Author's notes

Wow okay, this is the first Fanfic I've ever done (so go easy on me guys (~-~) but reviews and reflective criticism will be most appreciated, this hasn't been beta read and I'm dyslexic so there's most likely some outrageous mistakes in there that me and spellchecker has missed (I'm sorry (-_-) ah but anyways I have taken the characters and given them a slight personality twist. I like how Sasha has a foul mouth and is stubborn because it allowed me to create Levi into this reasonable and caring older brother figure and this will come to light more so in the next chapter where we find out small hints to his dark past maybe?
