''Eren! Hey Eren! Wake up!''
''Unh'' Eren opened his eyes and looked up towards the familiar voice that had been calling him for a while. But all he was able to see was the figure of a short man petting his head with a smile on his face.
''Eren? Are you okay?'' he continued.
''Who are you?'' Eren whispered
The man's expression shifted for a mere moment but he smiles again and replied. ''I see, you still don't remember me...''
Eren felt a sharp pain in his chest. ''Huh?''
''Nothing.'' The man replied ''Ah, I have to leave now.''
Upon hearing that line the pain in Eren's heart grew heavy and his eyes filled up with tears.
''Bye Eren.'' The man said.
''No wait! Don't go!'' Eren said grabbing the stranger's hand.
The man looked shocked, he then smiled and said ''Please Eren, Don't cry, if I could I would always stay by your side, but I have to go. Leaving you every time is really hard for me, but until you remember me I have no choice.''
He gave Eren a light kiss on the forehead.
''This won't be the last time we see each other; So cheer up please, otherwise I won't be able to leave with my heart at ease. I will come to see you every night! ''
Eren wiped his tears away and smiled. He held up his pinkie "promise?"
The man held his pinkie around Eren's and replied. ''Of course, I would never lie to you, shitty brat.''
The man's face leaned closer to Eren's face, when their lips were about to touch Eren woke up to the sound of his alarm clock ringing. As he turned it off he noticed he was lying in his bed.
Eren stared at the ceiling with his face beet red in a shock for a few seconds, He then looked relieved. ''Was that a dream?''
He looked at his alarm clock. Suddenly his eyes widened followed by a scream of pure terror echoing throughout dorm.
''WHAT? 8.00? Shit! I'm late!''
Eren hopped off the bed ran to the bathroom. After taking a fast shower Eren changed into his school uniform. Having finished that he got an apple and proceeded to eat it while reciting all sorts of profanities in all the languages he had learned throughout his life under his breath while running down the stairs that lead out of the dorm.
''The class president is going to scold me for being tardy again!''
While running to his class his mind wondered off to the dream again.
'' I've been having that same dream every night for the past three months. And who is that man? Somehow he looks familiar. Not to mention that pain I felt in my heart when he was about to leave. The dream was way too realistic for just a dream.'' Thought Eren while rushing back to class.
''Late again I see.''
Eren's heart skipped a beat. For a quick second that familiar voice took him back into that dream. When he came back to his senses he released the breath that he didn't release he was holding and turned around, he knew what was awaiting him.
''Shit!'' Eren murmured under his breath his back breaking into cold sweat ''Class pres.''
Levi sighed ''I don't understand how someone can do such a shitty job at waking up and getting to class in time. I guess that itself is a talent,'' Said class president Levi.
''S-sorry sir! I had a few problems which I needed to take care of''
''Oh? What kind I wonder? Did you surprise in the form of a hard on waiting for you beneath the covers when you woke up this morning?'' Levi asked with a sarcastic smirk on his face.
Eren blushed. ''That's none of your business!'' He then continued on his way to class.
The president called out to Eren again ''Wait Jaeger!'' But Eren Had already entered the class room. Levi mumbled to himself with a sad look on his face.
''How long are you going to make me wait? Eren...''
-Time skip with Levi telling the most mortifying shit jokes known to man-
''Ah Eren! Welcome back! How was school today?'' Christa asked while flashing that angelic smile of hers.
''Not good at all, I had a weird dream and because of it I ended up being late.'' Eren sighed.
'' Then the class president Levi appeared and started making a few sarcastic remarks with that stone face of his and told me to go to his office after changing my clothes.''
'' I see…'' Christa replied while looking at Eren with eyes full of pity.
''You should hurry up then I guess, as you know, Levi hates waiting. Here is your key. See you later!''
''Thanks Christa, See ya.''
After entering his room, Eren went to the bathroom to take a 10 minutes long shower. When he got out of the shower he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist and went back to his bedroom. Eren opened the closet and took out a black sleeveless shirt along with a pair of dark grey jeans. He then put on his black and white sport shoes.
He looked in the mirror and smirked ''Perfect! This should do. I should leave now''
After leaving the room and locking the door Eren went to Christa and gave her the keys to his dorm room again. There is a rule in this dorm that states that students should give the key of their dorm room to the dorm caretaker every time they leave the dorm.
After Eren gave Christa the key Eren asked Christa to wish him luck as he gave her the keys. He then headed off to Levi's office, which was situated a few doors before the principal's office in the school.
Eren knocked on the door and waited for a reply
''Come in.'' Urged the voice.
Eren opened the door, looking straight in Levi's direction. He was greeted with a cold blood lusting stare from yours truly. Levi.
'' Eren mumbled. "I guess I finally understand what people mean when they say "if looks could kill, I'd be dead".
''What did you say?'' Levi locked his stormy blue grayish eyes with Eren's fear filled turquoise orbs.
''Nothing Sir! I said sorry I took so long.'' Eren stuttered. Eren hates lying but desperate times ask for equally desperate measures.
''Well anyway, take a seat so we can talk about your punishment.'' Levi pointed towards the sofa next to his desk.
"I knew it! It was about that! Just what is he going to make me do this time? Hopefully no essays or toilet cleaning" Eren thought while sitting down on the sofa.
Levi sat down next to Eren with papers in his hand.
At the beginning of the year you arrived to class on time every day, but lately you build up quite a record of being late. Why is that? Is your girl keeping you up with useless chatter on the phone every night going on about how much she misses your dick or something?'' Asked Levi while staring at Eren his eyes darkening slightly, he arched an eyebrow urging him to answer.
Eren's left eye twitched, his eyebrows furrowed soft looking lips forming a grimace ''No, I go to bed pretty early actually. It's just that it became harder to wake up in the morning that's all. Also even if I stayed up late at night the reason for that is none of your business'' sneered Eren.
'' "Indeed, the reason doesn't matter, but if it is my business if it's because of a girl. Why you wonder? Simply because I would be the one making sure you'd break up with her." Levi said, eyes locking with Eren's lips for a millisecond then moving back to his eyes. Luckily Eren didn't seem to have noticed that little detour.
''Why is that? Based on student handbook rules it's not forbidden for a student to be in a relationship.
''Indeed it is not, but I'm sure it also stated in the student handbook that ''in cases having a relationship is proven to be problematic for the student in question by the teachers or other staff, whether it's the students behavior taking a wrong turn or his/her grades dropping the people involved are to be separated.'' Levi stated while pointing at his student handbook.
''I see. Well, I don't have one so my tardiness isn't really anyone's fault'' Replied Eren with a ''seriously?'' look on his face.
''Well, if that is not the problem then, any worries? I heard from a certain shitty glasses who majors in phycology that worries and stress effect concentration and sleep too.'' Levi glanced at Eren to see his expression.
Eren thought back to that dream. His face turning as white as a sheet and his breath started coming out in short gasps. It took Eren a moment to regain control of his breather and to school his expression.
''No, I don't think I have any.'' Eren faked a smile, after all that was definitely a lie.
Levi raised his eyebrow and replied ''I see, but really this is problematic, if we don't find out what the problem is and fix it you might not be able to graduate.''
''Eh?'' Eren looked confused.
''As you already know, grades aren't based on just the exams but also efforts during lessons, homework, exams, and punctuality and behavior.'' Levi continued
''To graduate with flying colors a student needs to pass all those, in other words get a 90-100% score. Each of the mentioned above is about 20% of the grade. And since your exam grades aren't that great you were going to graduate based on the rest. But with you being tardy it means that 20% is removed. Besides that you don't do that great on exams, which is another 10-20% of your score.
In total that's 40% which means graduating becomes hard.'' But with you being tardy it means that 20% is removed. Besides that you don't do that great on exams, which is another 10-20% of your score.
'' In other words we have to either fix your tardiness problem or raise your grades otherwise you won't be able to graduate.'' Levi stated
''Since the first option will be really hard we have to go with the second, you have to take summer classes, study during your free time, and have someone wake you up in the morning somehow.''
''Eeeeh? But that means no summer holidays for me!'' Eren exclaimed.
''Summer holidays now means no graduation and if that happens you will be forced to repeat class.''
''Ugh'' Eren's eyes began to tear up.
Levi sighed. ''Give me your cell phone for a second''
''Huh?'' Eren looked confused but handed over his cell phone to Levi either way
Levi took out his own cell phone and entered Eren's phone number to his sim card. He then entered his own number into Eren's cell phone.
''I'll make sure to wake you up every morning since I have to get up early anyway.''
''Eh'' Eren looked at Levi with a surprised look on his face.
Levi went on with the plan regarding helping Eren rising his grades.
''According to the schedule summer classes start at 8:00 AM and end at 4:00 PM every day. Meet up with me after school at the café across the street from the school. I will help you with studying and homework.''
''Huh, but..'' Eren started getting paler and paler
'' There is no buts. It's an order brat. Keep me waiting and I'll castrate you.'' Levi gave Eren a deadly stare that could make the devil himself run back to his parents in tears.
''Y-Yes sir, I'll make sure to show up on time sir'' Eren visibly deflated letting out a defeated sigh
''Well then, now I entered you on the list of names registered for summer classes. You can leave now, Go to sleep early today, I'll make sure to call you about 1 hour before class starts. See'ya tomorrow after school, brat''
Eren walked out of Levi's office while starting down blankly at the floor. "Gone.. My summer vacation is gone.." he mumbled while suppressing his tears.
Eren went back to the dorm and was greeted by a warm smile from Christa.
''Oh Eren! Welcome back! So, how did the meeting with Levi go? Hopefully he wasn't too mean''
Eren sat down at the door steps of the dorm and looked up to match Christa's eye level.
''Christa!'' He whined, rushing at her and giving her a hug. Eren looked up, tears of frustration forming at the corners of his pretty eyes; giving them a glossy effect making his shine brighter with unshed tears.
Christa looked surprised and blushed a fleeting thought of cute settling in her mind but getting replaced with worry as soon as it made a appearance. ''E-eh? What's wrong? Eren?'' Christa asked while giving Eren a gentle smile to try and cheer him up a little. Even though Eren looked cute to her with tears in his eyes, Christa doesn't like seeing her friends crying unless they were tears of happiness that are being shed.
