The sun was shining brightly as I made my way outside. I put my right hand to my forehead in an attempt to not have the sun directly in my eyes. "Evelyn!" Yells Sasha as she waves for me to stand next to her. I make my way over to her squeezing between her and Connie. She tilts her head, her maroon hair falling to the left side as she looks at me with inquiring eyes, "What took you so long?"

Groaning from the memory I reply "Hmph, I ran into Corporal Levi and I got cleaning duty for a month. I can't believe that shorty is the legendary humanity's strongest soldier." I put air quotations around the last part of my sentence.

"Well he is, what's with the air quotations, it is true that he is. Plus that's the pot calling the kettle black kind of situation. you all of people shouldn't be calling him a shorty." She pulls right arm to my head trying to make a point at how short I was. "Your at least 3 inches shorter than him, if not more."

I glared at her "yeah but his attitude is the worse, plus he looks completely emotionless. I ran into him by accident trying to get my Omni directional gear. I apologized and for that I still have to do a months work of cleaning the stables. Just because he's handsome he thinks he can get away anything." I huff crossing my arms and turning my body to look at Sasha in the eyes.

"Uh, not to mention he's the CORPORAL. So yeah he can he can get away with ordering people like that. If I didn't know better I would say you have a crush I've never seen you talk about someone like that."

My mouth drops and I immediately uncross my arms and stare at her. "What makes you think I have a crush on that shorty! Like I said he's nothing but an emotionless jerk and..." I didn't get to finish my sentence. As I recognize a familiar "Tch" from next to me. I turn to see Corporal Levi standing next to me with his arms crossed. His black hair falling into his eyes slightly. He appears to be glaring however I couldn't be sure those grey eyes always seem to be glaring. Sasha next to my has already bowed with a blush that went up to her ears at being caught.

"Hey brat," his eyes are burning holes into Sasha as she stands up straight. "You get a week cleaning duty." Sasha bows again in response. He then turns to look at me. "Who are you calling short?" He leans forward so he is looking directly into my eyes. "Your shorter than me. For punishment you get to run laps until I tell you to stop plus another month of cleaning." My jaw drops aghast at what he just said.

"I may be shorter than you but at least my attitude isn't as bad as yours" I snapped moving forward so I right in his face and he knew I wasn't scared of him.

"Another month of cleaning duty for talking back to an officer." He retorts, not once batting an eye. He smirks " do you want more cleaning duty? Just keep up what you've been doing." I frown and then placing my right hand over my heart in a fist again and my left hand sitting on the small of my back, I bow. "Good, get started your laps" he points toward the buildings I am supposed to run around. I take off not wanting to stay behind with him any longer.

The sun was starting to set into a beautiful cotton candy array of colors. I was still doing my laps. I must been running for several hours now. My pace had slowed a lot to a walk-run. At this point my lungs were on fire and every breath was painful. My legs felt like lead that was dragging along and my head was starting to feel light.

"Cadet Rose!" I hear a shout. "You can stop your laps now it's dinner time." I see Corporal Levi his arms crossed and his left leg on the wall so all of his back was leaning against it. I immediately stop and drop to the ground. I put my arms above my head in an attempt to catch my breath. This guy was going to kill me, having me run that many laps. I look to were he was standing but he had already disappeared again. As my breathing slows I realize how hungry I am. My stomach growls in response to my thought. I had completely forgotten about food while I was running because I was trying not to pay attention to my body and how much pain I was in. I get up slowly and make my way to the dining hall.

"Evelyn!" Eren says waving at me with a piece of bread in his hand. The widest grin on his face and his green eyes twinkling. I move to sit down across from him into the hard seat. He leans in saying in between bites of his bread " so is it true you already got cleaning duty from Corporal Levi?"

"Three months worth of cleaning duty," I sigh. "And it's only the first day since we joined. "Mikasa, you were right he is an irksome shorty" I pout to her. She nods in agreement, while Eren and few others laugh at me.

"How did you manage that? Your like the sweetest and shyest girl in the world. You never do anything to piss people of?" Connie says bewildered at the thought of me making Corporal Levi mad.

"Ooohhhh" giggled Sasha "that's because for some reason Corporal Levi just pushes her buttons. I think she might be interested in him."

Bang! Someone slammed their tray down next to Sasha. "Oh oh oh, and who might this be? Who would be interested in shorty? This is like and experiment in its own way." Hanji begged, you could see the drool coming out of her mouth at the thought of an experiment. " I will help whoever it is! I want to know!"

Sasha scoffed "Why would you want to help?"

"Eh, simple because I want to know if shorty can like anyone back! I haven't seen him with anyone." Sasha looks at Hanji and then raising her left hand she pointed to me with her bread. I bite it.

"Whaaa" Sasha cries, tears starting to form. But just as quickly they harden and she grabs my shirt collar. "Give that bite back! Spit it out, that's my precious food." I look her straight in her amber eyes and then I swallow. She sits down dejected. "Why would you do that? What type of a horrible human being are you?"

"Your the one who pointed it at me," I shrug. "Plus you told Hanji that I have a crush on Levi. Which isn't true at all." I turn to Hanji raising my hands up in defense. Brown eyes looks sad as she lowers her head letting her brown hair fall into her face.

"Here I was getting so excited to try an experiment on shorty. Okay!" She says standing up with resolve and clenching her hand into a face. She turns to me before leaving "well if you ever need help with shorty let me know because I will help!" She gives me a wink and trots away. Her boots clicking with every step. I turn to give Sasha a death glare but she is to busy making sad faces at the partially bitten bread in her hands to notice.
