Eren saw a smile beginning to form on Annie but she quickly reversed it to a blank expression.
"I do several forms of Martial Arts." Annie said bluntly. "Cool" Eren replied. Annie walked up to him, looking him eye to eye. Well, they couldnt really look eye to eye, since Annie was shorter than Eren. He looked down at her and chuckled at her. Annie blushed very faintly and got a tad angry. "What?!" She said clenching her fists. "Nothing, I was thinking of something else!" Eren quickly shot back, not wanting to get pounded into next week.
He really was laughing because of how intimidating she was further away, but now she just looked like a small, harmless blonde girl. Annie huffed and got our her phone
"Since we are gonna be roomates, we might as well get each others numbers." Annie said in her usual monotone voice. They gave each other there phones and put there numbers in them, but soon after Annie left the bedroom and went in the living room. Before joining her in there, he thought about how this was the first girl, that wasnt family, that he had a number of. He smiled and went to the living room to see Annie turning on the PS4 and TV. He had also realised she is the one who had brought it!
Annie brought a controller to the coffee table and she sat on the couch with it. She kicked off her sneakers and put her sock clad feet on the small table, relaxing herself before they had to go back to first period. Eren sat next to her on the couch and watched her play a downloaded game. He didnt know the name of it. From the looks of things, Annie was doing quite well. He did notice the game was a Sonic game, but he didnt really care for the francise. He was more of a fighting games type of guy, not a platformer. Annie sat on the couch with a slightly more focused expression, trying to jump from rail to rail. Eren thought of asking her if there was a game they could play together, but before he did there was an announcement over a loud speaker in the hallway.
"All students report to there first period class!" Eren noticed the voice sounded like Ms. Hanji. Annie groaned "Damn it, not even 10 minutes of relaxing, we should of just stayed in the gym!" She got up and put her sneakers on. Eren saved the game for Annie when she went to get her bag. Annie was at the door as Eren turned off the PS4 "Come on Yager, we're gonna be late if you dont hurry" She said opening the door. Eren joined her outside with his bag, he was about to leave before Annie stopped him with a strong grip on his shoulder. "You need a key incase you get back before me" Annie said handing him a spare key. Annie locked the door before she and Eren walked to class together.
On their way to class, Reiner was seen walking with Mikasa and Armin. Reiner noticed him and walked down to him, with Armin and Mikasa close behind.
"Hey Eren! Find out who your roomate is?" Reiner asked, not seeing Annie behind Eren. Annie walked out from behind him "This is my roomate, Annie" She had almost a smile while looking at Reiner, getting a full smile back. "Long time no see, Annie." Reiner said. Annie nodded in agreement before seeing Armin and Mikasa.
She walked up to them and offered a hand out to Mikasa. Annie expected the taller girl to get her hand crushed, but she surprisingly hung on with her by giving a firm handshake. Mikasa was impressed, opening her mouth to say something
"Martial Arts" Annie cut Mikasa off, knowing what she was gonna say. Mikasa nodded in understanding. Armin watched the exchange between them and gulped. He hadnt seen anyone handshake Mikasa without at least brusing there hand, and here there was this small girl who didnt even seem affected. When she looked at Armin he jumped.
Armin offered a shakey hand, clearly nervours. Annie glanced at Mikasa who glanced back. Annie softend her grip and gave Armin her softest handshake she could manage. Armin however, still got a bruise when they shook. Mikasa audibly sighed and Armin rubbed his hand. While Annie was with Mikasa and Armin, Reiner had informed Eren about her. He had told him that Annie, Reiner and Bert all lived in the same town way back when, and Annie got seperated from them in Middle school and High school.
The group walked to there first period, which they all shared in Ms. Hanji's science class. They entered the large room, not noticing anything that really stood out. Annie saw her other two friends, Sasha and Mina. She waved at them and sat next to them, in the middle of the seats. Mina had asked a question but Annie seemed to not answer it, probably because it was stupid or Annie didnt want to answer. At least thats what Eren thought. He walked up to them and saw Mina give Annie a cheeky grin. He waved at Sasha and Mina before sitting next to Annie. Quickly following him, Mikasa sat down next, followed by Armin. Reiner sat infront of them next to Bert and Connie. Eren grined. He was surrounded by old friends, family and even his new roomate! But he still felt something was missing
Just then, Eren felt someone squuze the back of his neck hard, hitting a pressure point. He cringed in pain before realising that had to be Jean. He grabbed the hand holding his neck and tried twist it, but it wasnt a good angle. Annie noticed Eren seemingly in pain, and looked to see Jean squeezing a pressure point while wearing a shit-eating grin. Jean looked at Annie, she was thinking about standing up for her roomate, but they had just met and Annie didnt know if she should or not. While Annie thought to herself Mikasa grabbed Jeans wrist and wanted to break it, but only brusing him badly before Eren stopped her. Annie sighed and pulled out a grey laptop from her bag and placed it on the desk. She logged in and went to an online notepad in case Hanji said something important today.
Hanji walked in and started to talk about the rules and expectations in her class, all the while Annie looked on with a bored expression. Armin payed full attention, along with Mikasa when she wasnt looking around Eren. Eren got bored fast and looked at Annie. She rested her chin on both of her hands, looking on, still looking bored. Nothing else to do, he let his eyes trail down to her legs, then her shoes. Annie had slipped them off and let her sock clad feet be free for the time they were in class. Eren returned his eyes back to Hanji, who talked about what they are gonna learn.
Besides the occasional wet willy from Jean, and sigh from Annie, The class went uneventfull until they were dismissed to go to the next one. The group walked along, this time including Jean, Mina, Sasha and Bert. Eren wondered why everyone almost had the same classes together, until he remebered about how little teachers there ard and big the classrooms are.
Annie hung in the back of the group, talking to Sasha and Mina.
"So Annie, what do you think of the boy who is staying with you?" Mina asked smirking. "I mean, youve gotta go after him right? Sasha even got a guy before you and you havent got anyone!" Annie shot Mina a glare before retaliating "I dont care about if Sasha got a partner before me or not. This isnt a compettion, the right person will come eventually." Annie said, even though a deep part of her wanted someone to call hers now. "I just met Eren, he seems like a nice guy just a bit goofy. Im not chasing the first dude I see like you, Mina" Annie walked faster leaving Mina and Sasha behind.
Annie sped past Armin, Reiner and Bert (who blushed) before Eren noticed something wrong.
"You good Annie? You seem to be in a hurry." Eren asked concerned. Annie heard Mina squeal behind her. "I'm fine" Annie said before speeding to the next class. Eren walked confused, looking back at the people Annie sat with. He knew Sasha from Middle and High School, along with Mina. He didnt know Mina as much as Sasha, except that she was pretty open towards people. A complete contrast from the quiet Annie. Eren wondered about why Annie would hang out with two of the most open girls in the world, being as quiet as she is.
Annie arrived in the empty class room, sitting on the mid far left. She thought it was empty, at least until she saw a blonde man wearing standard attire sitting at a desk under the giant white board. He was blonde and styled his hair uniquly. His eyes showed passion, he could easily inspire anyone just by looking them in the eye. With her good eyesight, Annie saw a name plate that had the words Erwin. She wondered why there was no title before it, and wondered if it was his first or last name.
Other students filled in. Annie noticed Bert walk in alone, looking for his friends. He must of got seperated. He saw her and blushed before quickly turning. He regained his composure before going and sitting next to Annie, having a light blush the whole time.
"Hey" Annie said acknowledging his presence. He sent a shakey hello back. Annie knew that the tall man had a crush on her, but she didnt care. It didnt mess with there friendship, so who cared? She did find it kinda childish to be crushing in your twenties, but thought it shouldnt matter about what age you were. Unless the person you crushed over was underage or something, then it mattered.
Eren ran in quickly, not taking long to notice the blonde Annie sitting next to the big friendly giant known as Bert. He made his way over and sat to the left of Annie. Annie closed her eyes and kicked her shoes off once more and took out her laptop. Soon everyone filed in. Mikasa and Armin next to Eren, Reiner and Bert to the right of Annie and Jean, Sasha and Mina behind them. One more person joined the group, sitting next to Jean. Jean looked over and greeted him.
"Hey Marco!" Jean said to his friend. "Hey Jean, hey guys!" Marco said. Everyone greeted back, Marco had made the mood a bit more cheerful. "Hey Marco, I got a question" Reiner said "How come you are only in half of our classes, but everyone else are in all of them?" Reiner had asked with geunine curiosity. Marco looked at him and started to speak "I have special classes on those periods, even though-" Marco was cut off half way thru his sentence, being interupted by a loud whistle.
