College.

The place where everyone gets to start fresh, forget most of the awkward moments that have happened to them in High school and only remember bits and pieces of those embarrassing moments during occasional cringe attacks. It's a form of freedom really. But not if you're Elizabeth Williams. Oh, no. Even after high school her life is a soup of embarrassments and things are only getting more complicated. But let's not waste time with this narrator crap, let's get right into it...

The date was September 1st, 2014. Almost a year after the incident. At 7am the alarm went off, Elizabeth groaned loudly and winced as she opened her eyes only to be nearly blinded by the extreme amount of sunlight pouring in through the window. Now she wasn't only half deaf from her alarm but also half blind.

"You have got to be kidding me.." – She muttered. Great start of the first day in college, no? Already grumpy...and the day has only started.

She quickly turned the alarm off and stumbled out of bed. As Elizabeth passed her mirror she couldn't help but cringe at the sight of herself. Her pyjamas consisted of a T-shirt that was about 3 times larger than her size and some shorts that were way too short to be worn outside anymore. She always wore these two items to bed even though she didn't exactly found herself attractive in them. But who cares right? It's not like anyone will see her like that. Her long, light brown curly locks were creeping in all sorts of directions on her head and her fringe looked like it was styled by some crazy person with way too much hair gel. Her hazel brown eyes stared at herself in disbelief.
"Do I always look this bad in the morning..?"She sighed - It didn't take her much time to attack her head with a straightener as a poor attempt to tame her hair.

In about 30 minutes she stood in front of the mirror again, now dressed in some light blue jeans along with a beige oversized jumper and her hair now hung in a high pony-tail, which allowed her fringe and some loose strands to lightly frame her face. Her makeup consisted of some eyeliner and mascara, much more than the average nothing she had on her face normally. She never really cared that much for makeup, what was the point of caking stuff on your face? But today was going to be different. She will completely forget about the incident, move on, find some new friends maybe even a boyfriend and finally lead a badass college life like she always dreamed. Though, it was a little hard to have a badass life when she was awkward around everything and everyone new and when she turned tomato red just by asking a boy what the time was...

By 8.30am, Elizabeth was making her way through the college building surrounded by people she has never seen before, but for some reason instead of feeling anxious, she felt giddy and excited to finally start over without anyone from high school there to embarrass her again. She softly smiled to herself as she hugged her books closer to her body but her thoughts were soon interrupted when she collided with another student.

"Sheesh watch where you're going, you nearly knocked me out!" –Came the words from the stranger.

'Dude, calm down I only bumped into you' Elizabeth thought but dared not to say it out loud. "Damn, sorry I guess I was a bit too lost in my thoughts" She admitted instead, as she gave the guy a light smile which instantly caused him to blush.
"Y-yeah, whatever just be more careful next time. The name's Jean, nice to meet you-?"
"Elizabeth. Elizabeth Williams"
"-Elizabeth. I'll just call you Liz, m'kay?" –His brown eyes showed sincerity and he did seem like a nice person to be around, you know, minus the occasional douchey attitude he seemed to have been blessed with.
"So Jean, I don't know about you but I'm a complete loner at the moment so I'll just stick with you if you don't mind."
"Well actually, I'm in my second year so I'm not exactly alone but don't worry, feel free to hang out with me and the guys." He smiled. "Come on, I'll get you to your first lesson, pass me your timetable?"
Elizabeth quickly handed him the sheet of paper and their hands brushed in the process which caused Jean to blush...again..
"U-um..Okay, let's see your lessons, s-shall we?" He muttered nervously.
'Jeez this guy cannot handle girls. But it's kinda cute I guess' thought Liz...Elizabeth...whatever.
"Biology with Miss Zoe, okay you'll be fine with her she's pretty fun" He said as he carried on reading the piece of paper."English with Mr Smith, fine. Psychology with Mr Rivaille, fine- wait what?! Oh no, dear lord you won't survive him! You better start writing your will because you won't get out alive..." It all sounded way too dramatic. Maybe this Mr Rivaille was worse than she thought...
"Come on, he can't be that bad" Liz began her sentence as she glanced around the hall. "I mean, it's not like-"

She mid-sentence the moment she laid eyes on the boy standing a little further behind Jean. He was quite tall, and freakishly familiar. The boy looked at her, his bright green eyes locked with her hazel ones and the memories came rushing back.

She stood uncomfortably in the class, just her and him. Part of her wanted to escape but part of her also wanted to stay there in the hopes of finally being able to confess her feelings.
"L-Look, Eren..." she began, her voice shaking slightly. "I don't know why you called me here but um..." Awkward pause..
'Crap, think of something, quickly!' She thought.
"Uh.."
'He's looking at you like you're an idiot...well you are an idiot but that's not the point! Say something for fuck's sake!'
"Erm...There's this movie I wanted to see really bad and I thought maybe you wanted to come watch it...with me?"
'Okay, nice save. You're still an idiot though...'
Eren stood there for a while, not saying anything.
'Bad sign...' She thought again. 'I'm done, he's probably trying to hold back from laughing at me, just shoot me in the face someone this is too embarrassing...'

After about a minute of uncomfortable silence, he finally spoke.
"Uh-yeah... I'm sorry but the reason we're here is because I wanted to ask you, do you have feelings for me or something? Cause I've been thinking about this for a while and if you do feel something then you should really say so." Crap. Nonononono, this can't be happening. Why would you ask that?! Think Elizabeth, think. You can't let him know...not like this...
"Haha, nooo what makes you say that, Eren?"
"Oh thank god, I was worried for a second." He sighed rather loudly. Elizabeth's heart sank. This couldn't be happening. "Thank god I was afraid I might have to reject you. Heh, good thing that's cleared up."
'Yeah it's cleared up alright you douche, you have no idea, do you..?' Elizabeth felt her inner voice getting more and more angry and sassier than usual so she decided it was time to leave before she broke out, embarrassing her even more.
"Yeah, great. Well, I guess I'll see you around Eren?"
"Uh...sure" He replied. "Oh, and about the movie offer-" he began. Liz instantly hoped for the best. Maybe he did feel something after all! "Sorry but I can't really be bothered to go anywhere so um...yeah, see you around".
'Seriously, what did you expect, Liz?'
With that, he was out of the classroom and out of Elizabeth's life as long as she managed to avoid him until college. Or so she thought...

As Elizabeth got out of the trance-like state she was in while she was remembering the cringe worthy past, she didn't realize she was staring straight at Eren and ignoring Jean completely. She quickly fixed her eyes on the floor, in the hopes of Eren not actually recognising her.

"Yeah, Rivaille is a complete ass without ANY emotions! Seriously, I feel sorry for- uh...Liz?" he have her a confused look. "You okay? Snap out of it!" He waved a hand in front of her face which got her attention again.
"Ah, Jean, hey how about we walk around a little. Maybe you could help me memorise where the classrooms are and all that.." She was panicking. She was sooo panicking. She had to get out of there before Eren could realise who she was and she didn't have any time to waste.
"Yeah, sure Liz" Jean smiled.
'Wow, this guy is more oblivious to people's state of mind than Eren and that says something...but seriously stop thinking about Eren and those... big green eyes that just stare right into your soul and...Shut up.'
Jean began walking down the hall but just as Elizabeth spun around to follow him she heard someone call out her name in a familiar voice.

"Elizabeth is that you? It's me, Eren!"
'Well fuck...'

Soooo this was it, the first part of the first fanfiction I've ever written.

Anyways I hope you enjoyed it, please if you have time then feedback is always appreciated!
