It was Saturday and Eren and Mikasa were sitting in Eren's room waiting for Armin to stop by. Eren was seated by his computer, where he let different music blast out of the speakers. They had been listening to the radio, but they kept playing the same annoying song, so he instead went on Youtube and found something else.
Right now they were listening to Flo Rida-Whistle.
Eren wasn't set on one genre, he pretty much liked everything. Sometimes he would listen to one genre more than the others, but it depended on his mood and right now he was in the mood for something light.
His room wasn't that big, he had a desk, which had his computer screen on it. The computer itself was stationary, so he could play all sorts of games on it. He also had a smaller laptop, which he had gotten so he could use it to take notes in class.
He had a wardrobe, a bed, a TV stand, a small table between the TV and the bed and some shelves and stands which had a few books and mostly games on it.
He still had the PS2 that he had had when he and Armin first had become friends. He still used it; he enjoyed playing the old games now and then and so did Mikasa.
She was lying on his bed and playing Legend of Spyro: A new beginning.
It knocked on the door for a short moment and before Eren or Mikasa could yell "Come in" Armin came in.

"Hey" Eren said. Mikasa was busy so she just gave a quick nod to say she had seen him.
He placed himself on the bed, so he was almost sitting on Mikasa, since she was practically everywhere on the bed. He had his back up against the wall and his legs bend out like a bridge over Mikasa's legs.

Eren pulled his office chair closer to the bed and placed his legs on the table.
"How was your class?"

"Better than I thought it would be! You were right, they are really nice" He smiled broadly

"That's good! What about your tutors?"

"They were really nice! The girl with the glasses, the one to follow us to the classroom, she talks a lot. That's why it took so long for us to get off from class yesterday". He laughed "What about you guys?"

"Yeah, interesting people in our class. We only had two tutors, you had 3, right? And they were nice. The girl, Petra was cute and the guy Auruo wasn't really my kind of person, but he was alright." Eren said, thinking back on the two people.

"Yes, we had 3 tutors. Hanji, the girl with the glasses and a guy called Mike, who was a little weird, but okay when you talked to him. Then we had a person called Nanabe, but to be honest, I'm not sure if it's a guy or a girl. But whatever, Nanabe was nice"

"It's awesome. Did you get your schedule?"

"Yeah, a temporary one until I get my password for the school's webpage. It looks hard, most of the days, classes' ends at 2:30, and then I have two days till four and one day till one"

"The same here I think. And on Fridays I have a free period in second period"

"Me too!" Armin said

"Really? What a coincidence, then we might hang out there?"

"Of course! It's weird to have free periods on schedule" Armin laughed

"Yeah, we never had that in elementary. It's awesome"

"Isn't it crazy that we're starting high school?" Mikasa interrupted, she had reached the next save in the game and had turned the PS off to join their conversation.

"What do you mean?" Armin asked, not quite understanding.

"I don't know. It's just surreal to be honest." Eren nodding, knowing what she meant.

"It's just that I never actually thought that it would happen. High school has always been something other people had to do when they grew up. High schoolers have always been adults to me, and now I'm in high school and I don't feel like an adult at all and it's just weird, but I like it too! And that's what's crazy" She laughed

"Yeah I know, I've never thought I would go to high school either! It is crazy, you don't think it's crazy because you've always known you were gonna go" Eren told Armin, who still didn't understand it completely, but he had the overall picture.

"Oh, you might be right. By the way weren't you guys extremely tired yesterday? I swear I slept until it was past eleven this morning!"

"I fell asleep five minutes after dinner on the couch!"

"Yeah, I went straight to bed. So many new impression, my brain just quit when I came home" Mikasa said

"I don't hope that happens every day we come home! That' would be bothersome" Eren said

"I don't think it will" Armin answered while he thought about the question.

It was only for the first week of high school they all came home, feeling like they hadn't slept properly for years. The second week, they were still tired, but they no longer had trouble staying awake in their last periods. It was Friday of the second week and Armin had agreed to meet Mikasa and Eren for their free period, which lasted for an entire hour, if you counted the recess with.

The weather was still nice, so Mikasa had texted Armin and told him they were sitting outside waiting for him. The school had a huge green area, half of it was for the gym classes to practice all sorts of sports and the other half was just for the students to relax. There were benched, but it was much better to just lie in the grass.

"Hey guys. I brought someone with me" Armin said as he approached

Both Eren and Mikasa sat up to say hi to the person who Armin had brought.

Armin dumped himself in the grass in front of Eren and Mikasa and gestured to the other to sit down as well. He was a tall slender male, his hair was cut in an undercut and his hair was two toned, the top being light brown and the bottom being dark brown.

"You never said your friend was hot" He said to Armin as he sat down. His eyes were clearly on Mikasa, but Eren couldn't help himself.

"Thank you, I normally don't go with boys, but if you're nice I'll consider it" Eren blinked at him and he turned slightly pink as he stammered "I didn't, I meant"

"Don't mind him, he's just an idiot. My name is Mikasa, nice to meet you" She interrupted and offered her hand.

"Jean" He said and turned redder as he shook her hand.

"My name is Eren, are you in Armin's class?" Eren laughed when he presented himself.

"Yeah, he said it was okay to come along"

"Of course, always"

"Yeah of course. Hey Armin, what subject do you have next?" Mikasa asked

"Oh, hmm gym, I think? Is it gym, Jean?"

"Unfortunately, I think it is"

"Urgh" Armin said and looked haunted

"What? You don't normally hate gym? Is it a bad teacher, who is it?" Eren asked the two guys.

"Kitts Verman" Armin replied

"He's so mean and intense. He shouts all the time and whenever you're not doing good enough he humiliates you. Last gym class I fell behind on a run and he threatened to have me run laps after class." Jean looked horrified.

"He sounds like an ass. How did you get out of that?" Mikasa asked

"Armin helped, he pleaded Kitts and said that it wasn't fair to punish me after class and that it wasn't my fault that I had a bad knee, which I actually don't, but thanks anyway Armin" He laughed

"Yeah, but it didn't help anyway, you wouldn't have gotten out of the punishment if Pixis hadn't stopped by and said that I was right" Armin told them.

"Yeah, anyway, I'm grateful; I didn't want to be left alone with that man! Who do you have?"

"Keith Shadis, he's okay. A little strict, but okay" Eren told

"Haven't met him"

"Me neither, but he's probably better than Kitts" Armin said

"Hey Annie! Come join us!" Mikasa suddenly yelled, interrupting the conversation. She waved at one of the figures who just came out of the building.

Annie, was the girl Mikasa had been placed beside on their first day, she was with Bertholdt and Reiner. They all came over and sat around the small group.

They presented the others for each other.

"What do you guys have in next period?" Armin asked the group

"I have Art" Eren looking a little miserable.

"Me too" Mikasa said. Every freshman had to choose either Music or Art as a subject in their first year, which was horrible since Eren hated both.

"Me and Bert have Music" Reiner said

"Yeah I play guitar and Reiner sings" Bertholdt said

"Really? You always played guitar Bert and can you really sing, Reiner?" Eren asked.

"Yeah, pretty much. I started in fourth grade or something like that"

"Of course I can! Why else would I bother?" Reiner asked rhetorically

"What about you, Annie? Music too?" Armin politely asked Annie who hadn't really said anything.

"Like hell! I would never do that"

"So art?" Jean tried

"No, I have Sarcasm for beginners, No of course art" she said, rolling her eyes. They all laughed, mostly because Jean made a funny face.

They talked a little about some of the teachers they had in common.

"Jean, we should probably go get changed so we won't be punished for being late"

They all split up and went to their different classes.

As the weeks passed it became some sort of tradition to meet in their free period. Their group had grown since they had first met. It now consisted of Jean, Sasha, Connie, Marco and Christa from Armin's class and Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie and Ymir from Eren and Mikasa's class.

Eren wasn't sure how it had become such a large group, but after some meetings, some of the people had asked if they could join and others had been dragged with their friends. It didn't really bother Eren, they were all nice people.

They were all special people. Sasha and Connie were goofy people, they always made fun and Sasha had a weird food fetish or something. Marco was really nice; he was down to earth and always smiling. Christa was a silent girl, in a shy way, but she was also one of those people who were always smiling and being happy, she laughed a lot. Ymir from Eren's class had taken a liking to her. Ymir was loud and very often came with inappropriate comments, to both boys and girls.
Annie was a different kind of silent, she was more hostile, but she had loosened up and started to be friendlier towards people. She and Mikasa became really close friends. Reiner was always friendly and protective, especially towards Bertholdt, who they all just called Bert. Bert and Reiner had known each other since birth practically. Bert was shy, to an extend where he sometimes couldn't talk, but he had become better. He was one of those people who easily became very emotional.
Jean, had Eren learned, wasn't all that nice. At least that was what Eren was thinking. After Jean had become more familiar with Eren, Mikasa and Armin, he had become more open.
They had been talking about the online game Leauge of Legends and Jean had casually said "You probably suck at it, Eren" To which Eren had become rather mad and he hadn't quite forgiving Jean for that comment.

This period they had gathered on the grass again. The girls talking about one of the classes who was currently running laps on the gym area of the green area. The boys were running shirtless, so they were watching carefully, discussing which of the males had the better body.

"Eren, do you guys have a preparty for the high school party on Friday?" Jean asked

"Yeah, the whole class is supposed to meet at Reiner's. What about you guys?"

"Yeah, we have too. I was thinking what if our classes made a prepaty together?"

"That would be a great idea" Marco said and the other boys agreed

"We have to ask the girls and the rest of our classes first, though" Armin said and they all agreed on that.

"Where are we supposed to meet, if they agree?" Bert asked.

"I was supposed to have the party at my house, we can still do that. We will have to walk to the school though and that takes about 30 minutes" Connie said

"We can do it like that, but I live 5 minutes away and we can easily be two classes there" Reiner said.

They were discussing pros and cons for both houses, but decided that if the others were going with the idea, they would go with Reiner's house.

Reiner proposed the idea for the girl's, when they were done staring, and they all wanted it to happen. So Eren asked his class and Jean asked the others if they liked to go to the preparty with the other class. There were a few against, but the majority didn't really care, as long as there was a party.

After school was done, Jean texted Eren and said that his class was okay with it. Reiner later sent a Facebook invitation to the people of the classes and told the rules and when and where the party was.
