Beep...Beep...Beep
"Stop!" You moaned, your hand stopping the annoying sound. You did not like alarm clocks.
If there's one thing I don't like about school, it's the timing. Why do I have to get up at 7:00am?!
After getting ready, you walked to the kitchen, rubbing your E/C eyes.
"G'morning." You grumbled blearily. Your mum, sensing your less-than-cheerful mood, simply smiled and nodded. You sat down at the table and poured yourself a glass of orange juice. At least, you tried to. When you tipped the carton, nothing came out. Not wanting to get up and find a fresh one, you squeezed it harder, until all the orange juice left spilled out of the glass and onto the table.
You yelled out loud, startling you mother. Sighing, she threw the carton away while you irritably cleaned up the mess.
At 7:59 am, you waved goodbye to her and started walking to school. Mrs. Takashi wasn't outside that morning. You were in a bad mood, but you remembered your first class today was F/S, your favourite subject. Your spirits lifted slightly.
"Y/N, I need to talk to you and Christa about something." Mikasa's nervous face dampened your mood again.
"Uh, okay. What is it?" You asked, trying not to snap at her. The three of you had been friends for over five years now, since elementary school. You had no secrets. If she looked this nervous, it must be quite serious.
"I think I like Eren in a romantic way. Help!"
Of all the things you were steeling yourself for, this was the most unexpected.
You were exhausted, and it wasn't even third period yet! You had always thought of Eren and Mikasa as a brother-sister pair, with her mothering him around and he liking-but-not-liking the attention. Although, they would look pretty cute as a couple...?
You had consoled Mikasa, and given her the best advice you could. Which was to tell Eren how she felt and ask if he reciprocated her feelings. Otherwise it would get very awkward.
Anyways, you were still kind of anxious about Levi. He had come just as the bell rang, and looked a bit flustered when he slid into his seat. He seemed to be more aloof than yesterday, which you found strange. You had seen several people, both students and teachers, trying to talk to him. However, he stubbornly refused to respond in longer than two-word sentences, things such as 'Yes...No...I'm fine...' etc.
You smiled unknowingly and stared at the board, amused by the thought of some poor student trying to talk with him. Your teacher stopped writing suddenly, and motioned for the class to quiet down.
"Students, I forgot to say this. We're going on a field trip to the Karanese District, where there is a famous museum. This will be in two weeks, please don't forget. Let's continue!"
You noticed Levi stiffen when 'Karanese' was mentioned. Why was that?
Focusing your attention on the teacher, you began taking notes, determined not to be nosy. Levi's business was Levi's business, and no one else's.
Right?
You pulled out your lunch and began chewing slowly. Your eyes were open, but you were lost in thought. Levi, Zoe Hanji, and the whole Eren-Mikasa drama had given you a lot to think about.
That was why you didn't notice someone repeatedly calling out your name until you felt a sharp pain on your left shoulder.
"Ow! That hurt." You glared at - who else but, - Levi, rubbing your arm. He gave sigh of annoyance.
"If you had just listened the first time, I wouldn't have had to do that."
"Putting that aside, what do you need?" You tried to be pleasant. After all, since he was such a loner, he might just walk away again.
"My notes are ruined, they fell into a puddle of water from when it rained. Is it okay if I you bring your notes to my place for me to copy?" What was up with him? He seemed...awkward. He couldn't be shy, since he wasn't like this with anyone else. You frowned as another thought occurred to you.
"But, Levi..." He grunted questioningly. "It didn't rain today. It hasn't rained for the past three weeks, for that matter."
He flushed, unconsciously scratching the back of his head.
"Did I say rainwater? I meant...that...something fell on them. Anyhow, none of your concern. Will you or will you not lend me your notes?"
You grinned. He was cute when he was embarrassed.
Wait, WHAT?!
You exhaled and nodded, trying to dispel thoughts of cute Levi from your mind. He had regained his stoic composure by then, and turned around when you agreed.
Pulling out a piece of paper from his bag, he gave it to you and told you:
"This is my address. You can come by 6 o' clock, right?" You nodded once more, and he grunted again.
"Well, then. I'll see you at six, Levi!" You smiled at him. He walked away without replying, but didn't seem angry. More...flustered. Also, he had most definitely been lying about his notes getting ruined. You had seen white pieces of paper peeking out from the top his bag. But why had he lied about it?
You felt your brain getting curious, and were trying to stop yourself from following him.
I will not be a nosy parker. I will NOT be a nosy parker. Repeat, will not be a nosy parker. Nobody likes a nosy parker...
"Nobody likes Parker? What does that mean?" An inquiring voice interrupted your train of though (again). You turned around, embarrassed that someone had heard you.
"Oh, it's you, Sasha. What's up?!" You asked her, trying to distract the brunette from the 'nosy parker' thing.
"Nothing much. Anyways, Y/N, got a dollar or two to spare for your old friend? I'm hungry!"
"It is lunchtime, Sasha. Why don't you eat your lunch?" You said dryly, relieved that she had forgotten her earlier question.
She blinked rapidly, then said in a small voice.
"I...ate it during French class."
Trying not to sigh, you forked over two dollars and she bounced away happily. Sasha might've given you a headache, but at least you no longer felt compelled to follow Levi to wherever he was going.
You walked to your classroom. Tuesday after lunch was the only period you and Levi didn't share; he had Art while you had Maths.
You walked in three minutes before class started, and pulled out your previous work. Anything to help distract from various thoughts that were flitting across your mind.
You were anticipating 6 o'clock tonight very much.
Ooh, do we have a bit of Levi x Reader in here? Anyways, Chapter 4 should be out (hopefully) by this Sunday. Please review so I can improve the quality of my story! :D
