Levi that sexy bastard. It's Levi from Attack On Titan :)
Please know that this story is about depression, Anxiety and how teenagers REALLY feel. So any negative comment about how it is, will I remove. You have been warned.
And my slow ass brain can't find a better name for the high school, so the name will be Westchester high school.

(Nikki's Dream)
I was standing in a graveyard. Dozens of people were gathered there, around a grave. I rubbed my eyes to have a better look when suddenly all the people were gone.
Except one person. it was Brandon, on his knees facing the tomb, crying.
I tried to walk over and comfort him, but my legs just wouldn't move. They were like attached to the ground. I darted my eyes to see the tombstones, it was several of them. And all of the first names were blurred out. But I could see the last names:
Church Smith
Magnolia
Ackerman
Roberts
Smith
Brandon noticed that I was there and turned around.
"It's all my fault Nikki, I must end this now" He cried, searching in his pockets for something.
"What...what are you talking about?!" I stuttered, lifting up my hand at him to stop. I tried to move but my legs didn't take orders. They were glued to the ground.
"Please, find someone better than me. I'm not worth you" He took out a pocket knife, placed the tip of the blade at his throat to aim. I could feel my heart beat faster and faster in shook. I can't move.
I can't move
"B-Brandon" I whispered, hiccuping from crying so much as he looked at me one last time. "Don't do it, I beg you"
I can't move
Tears streaming down his cheeks he closed his eyes for the last time ...
Wednesday, september 3rd
Mackenzie's POV
I breathed in, then out. Then in again.
"YOU CAN NEVER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!" Screams were heard from the kitchen, it was dad yelling at mom. "YOU JUST CARE ABOUT YOURSELF, ABOUT THE MONEY AND LOOKS. BUT NOT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY" I prevented Amanda from hearing. They're fighting again.
"IS IT MY FAULT THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE BIG MISTAKES?!" Mom screamed back "I JUST WANTED TO BE WITH YOU, THEN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I'M SUDDENLY PREGNANT"
I bit my lip so I wouldn't cry from what I just heard. She's calling us big mistakes, I mean she is right. We are big mistakes.
"YOU'RE ALWAYS OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS, GO TO CLUBS AND CONSTANTLY CHEATING ON ME" Dad raised his voice higher than her. It's like they're having a screaming content "YOU'RE ONLY MARRIED TO ME BECAUSE I'M WEALTHY!"
If I wasn't born to this world then maybe they could be better, what have I done that's good?
Suddenly it became quiet in the kitchen, too quiet. Normal people would say that it's just them hugging or saying sorry, but I know that this means that dad or mom will do something dangerous to one another.
And I was right, because I could hear a loud bam. Then a scream. When I investigated about what was going on mom suddenly huffed out of the kitchen with tears in her eyes and looked at us. Her eyes were stone cold and she glared at us like we were murderers.
"If only you two weren't born" Mom mumbled, she left us with no words and went upstairs. This is what happens every day. This is normal for us. Dad also came towards us when she left, he held his ear in pain. I could see blood dripping down. He looked at us in disgust "What the hell are you brats staring at?!" He muttered. Amanda tried to walk closer but he slapped her hard in the face, causing her to fall down. I gasped and covered my mouth in shock.
Dad looked at her in disgust then at me, the icy blue eyes that's similar to mine. His glare gave me chills down my spine as he left us there and went to get some first aid kit.
I ran to Amanda and tried to help her. But one of our maids rushed to us and told me that it's fine. That I should just hurry to school as Amanda tried to reclaim her breath after crying in pain.
Our routine is always the same:
My parents fight, then scream then blame us.
I sighed in tears because I know why they're fighting. I came out to them how I really feel about something, mom and dad had different opinions and that led them to start fighting. Ever since that day they have been fighting non-stop, if I hadn't open my stupid mouth then maybe they would still love each other. But then again, they treat me and my little sister like trash ever since.
f course they would. It's not every day they discover my secret. But what has Amanda done to them?
I exited the house, not caring about the bags under my eyes. The students won't care anyways. My best friend Jessica had gotten into some prestigious high school along with Zoey and Theodore. So I'm alone.
I don't really hate Zoey and Nikki. I just act that way because I don't want them to see the real me. The broken and hollow one and besides, if I hated her. Then my crush will hate me.
Nikki just lightens up the day, but I want her gone now. I want to have justice.
So I can feel better.
Levi's POV
I rushed out this morning. Stupid alarm, stupid Armin and Christa, stupid Hanji and Erwin.
Of course they couldn't wake me up in time for my first day of high school. Of course their children has to take my alarm. I don't give a crap if they're just toddlers, they should just behave.
With a quick pace I ran down the streets. Only a mile to the school, if I run fast like this I will be in time. My lungs went up and down as my heart started beating rapidly and my legs were going fast.
I dragged up my sleeve to look at the clock.
08:30 (Idk about you guys, but in sweden school always starts 8:10 am)
'Shit' I mumbled to myself 'Shit, shit shit' I tried to run faster to school even though I knew that it was already too late. The ceremony had already started and I'm not even halfway there yet. I slowed down my pace a little. It's useless to run when I know that I'm going to be late anyway. So I took my time to just look at the city New York.
I could feel so many memories flood through my mind when I smelled the usual scent. If only they were here then it could have been better.
-Flashback--
Sirens, police cars, ambulances and detectives were all around me. I was still spazzed out because I couldn't recover fully from what I just had witnessed.
"Levi, Levi!"
Brandon shook me not so gently"What happened?!" He said, his voice cracking of concern. "Where's Isabel and Farlan?!"
When I heard their names I couldn't help but to cry silently, I can't whimper and whine. I can only let my tears float down.
I stared blankly at the ground, letting the tears again drop a little with the rain that stormed down. Some police officer put her coat over my shoulders. I didn't show any affection of caring about what was going on.
I can't be the same again. I can never be the same.
This world is cruel
Yet beautiful
I sighed and shook my head. I can't let my feelings control me like this. With an expressionless face I entered the school buildings.
The hallways were empty, meaning that everyone has already started. I'm late as fuck! At the corner of my eye I saw a cork board on a wall. I walked over to see what it was about. Then bingo, the list of first period hall. I searched after my name and saw that my first class was history.
I looked after hall 13th for a long time, seriously. Why does this damn school has to be so big? There were literally full of corridors leading to every direction possible. But after finally finding the right hall I opened the door and made my way in casually, not really caring that I interrupted the class.
Everyone was looking at me with wondering looks. I guess I stormed in or something. Oh well, not my fault. The teacher cleared her throat and my eyes went over to her. She looked really pissed about me being late and not even saying sorry.
"I don't appreciate you storming in like that" The teacher had a strict face and put her hands on her hips. I rolled my eyes at her in response. She looked taken aback a little and the students looked amused.
She cleared her throat for a second time to catch my attention, clearly annoyed "This time it's going to be a warning, next time it will be detention" The teacher looked at me to clarify that I heard. I simply nodded and looked around me. Just a class full of brats.
The teacher sighed "Very well then, introduce yourself" She waited for me to begin.
"The name's Levi. I'm born December 25th and I like to clean, read, drink tea and is professional in martial arts. I also have a part time job" I said shortly, I can't believe I have to talk to people. I crossed my arms and looked around at the audience. I didn't really care about them, they are just irrelevant to me. Nothing else.
Then I saw that girl I saw just yesterday. This time her brown hair was kept in a pony tail and it looked beautiful on her.
The teacher cleared her throat for the THIRD time, clearly showing that she wasn't proud of my short introduction. But who cares? "Very well then, Mr...?" She looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
I sighed "Ackerman"
"Mr. Ackerman, please sit with Ms. Maxwell" She pointed towards the brunette. I made my way to the seat and sat down next to her as our teacher began talking about what we were going to study in her class.
When we were about to assign our history books I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around. The green eyed girl smiled at me slightly.
She reminds me of Isabel.
"Hi, my name is Nikki Maxwell" The girl looked at me curiously and waited for me to respond. I didn't answer at first but when I caught her staring at me I answered, clearly annoyed. "My name is Ackerman, Levi Ackerman"
This conversation is irrelevant.
"I like your name" Nikki said "It's unique"
I didn't answer this time. But I could almost see a tiny blush spread over her freckled cheeks, it looked like she didn't want to show it.
She really is cute
(Nikki's POV)
When the bell rang Levi walked away, I followed after because we have the same class after this. This school was so big that I couldn't find it on my own, but Levi does it just fine.
He was short in height, not too short but like an inch or two shorter than me. Levi was muscular though, he was pale with a toned body. He looked like he was asian. Maybe he's from China or something. Levi has short straight black hair with an undercut and small side bangs as well as narrow, dull grey eyes with dark circles under and a youthful face.
"Princess?" He turned towards me in frustration when we entered his locker. Clearly annoyed that I was following after him.
"Yes?" I giggled at the nickname Levi gave me. He thinks I'm royalty. Haha
Levi was about to say something, but his grey eyes moved to look behind me "Why is that creep looking at us" he narrowed his eyes. I turned around only to see Brandon staring at us, a bit sad.
"It's my friend Brandon" I said, trying not to cry as we watched him leave
Levi looked shocked for a second. His cold look quickly looking surprised and that made me startled.
"Is... Is that..." He stuttered, "Really Brandon?"
After recovering for some seconds he put on the cold face again and turned to me
"What's up with him?" He spat, trying to look like he didn't give a damn about him.
"I don't know, he's been acting weird" I responded concernedly as I brought up my hands to my heart. Levi hummed glaring at him. Brandon stopped staring and looked at the ground.
"You've changed, Brandon" Levi kind of mumbled out of nowhere, with a hurt look. I could see his face drop, like he was deep in thoughts.
"What?" I rose my eyebrow. He looked at me with a drop dead serious look, the intention too thick that my hands started to sweat. I wiped it on my knees quickly.
Before Levi could answer my question, the stupid bell rang again. I sighed in defeat and was about to walk away when he suddenly grabbed my wrist.
"Wait" Levi said, turning me around. The students went to their classes and we were alone.
I faced him with a confused look. "Yes?"
"...You...remind me of someone" Levi stared into my eyes, studying my eye colour. His eyes were like... Black, grey and tiny spots of blue. Sending chills down my spine because of his rare eye colour.
"Who" I tilted my head as Levi opened his mouth, but then quickly closed it and his eyes showed sadness. It's like he doesn't want to show emotions through his face so he instead do it with his eyes.
"N..Never mind" He muttered, letting go of my arm.
"It's not like she will return anyway..."
Is this story confusing? Idek.
Just to clear up for y'all.
Levi and Nikki met and had their first conversation. He saw her for the first time in his job (This job is very important to the story)
They saw Brandon and Levi looked like he just saw a ghost. I want y'all to know that Levi never smiles.
And what was it Mackenzie told her parents that made them so angry?
