Monday AM
.
.
(11:34) I've decided that when I become an evil dictator I will personally imprison all math's teachers and have them try and solve Hilbert's problems to enter general society to be eligible to eat, have a job (not teaching) and live a relatively normal life.
(11:39) OR Taniyama's problems, since there's more. Either way, that shit it hardcore!
(11:47) Don't you have school?
(11:49) Don't you have work?
(11:52) I'm at work.
(11:57) I'm at school.
(11:59) So what's your name?
(12:00) Sorry kid, lunchtime.
(12:01) Git.
(13:04) So what's your name?
(13:07) Not happening.
(13:09) Please? I literally have you in my phone right now as 'MY KILLER?'
(13:13) Sounds like a fairly good name to me.
(13:18) What am I in your phone?
(13:19) Oh GOD it's embarrassing isn't it?
(13:24) It's not that embarrassing. I'm curious to see what you think you're under, though.
(13:29) You're deflecting.
(13:34) I'm busy. You know, work.
(13:36) Fine. Gender, then? Female? Male? Both? Neither? Breadstick?
(13:38) Breadstick?
(13:42) Why do you want to know anyway?
(13:45) Just trying to understand my potential murderer. The police would get a whole profile just by the way you kill me, so I think I deserve SOME sadistic back-story.
(13:46) Couldn't I just lie then?
(13:48) Well, now you're just spoiling my fun.
(13:52) Fine. I'm a man.
(13:59) So NOW you stop replying?
(14:05) Fine.

Monday PM
.
(16:09) Sorry! Something came up!
(17:30) I'm sure.
(17:31) It did!
(17:32) Did you get your phone taken off you?
(17:33) Sort of.
(17:35) How do you 'sort of' get your phone taken off you?
(17:36) It got taken out of my bag when I went to the bathroom. Had to hunt Jean down and ... well … shit happened.
(17:42) Like?
(17:46) I got into a fight. Got dragged into the headteachers office. Got lectured. My dad was NOT happy when he came to pick me up.
(17:53) Were you suspended?
(17:56) No.
(17:57) He did read my texts to you out in the middle of class. It was like a trigger went off in my head.
(17:59) Did you see red?
(18:03) I may have thrown a chair at his face. His stupid horse face.
(18:04) Wait, Jean's a guy?
(18:06) Here I was thinking you were some equal rights fighter. Who the FUCK calls their son JEAN?
(18:08) It's pronounced 'John'. French or some shit.
(18:11) Hey kid. Don't knock the French. Without them, you wouldn't have me.
(18:15) You're French?!
(18:18) Part-French. My mum came over from France when she was young.
(18:23) That's so cute! Do you have a little twiddly moustache too?
(18:28) Nope. Tried to grow one once and it looked like a paedo stash.
(18:30) Farlan and Hange pinned me down and shaved it off.
(18:32) That sounds amazing!
(18:35) Shut up brat! Can you even GROW facial hair?
(18:39) Well I sort of tried once but I just get a few whiskers.
(18:42) How cute.
(18:45) Ew. For some reason you don't seem like the sort of person who says 'cute'.
(18:47) I'm not. Forget that. It was a sick mistake.
(18:51) Awww are you embarrassed?
(18:57) BRB. Dinner!
(18:59) You really are a kid.
(20:21) What's wrong with BRB?
(20:24) It's so childish.
(20:29) Bloody hell, how old ARE you that text-talk bugs you?
(20:34) Are you even young enough to OWN a mobile?
(20:42) I'm going to pretend to not be offended.
(20:44) How old ARE you? I'm going through our messages and I'm thinking you're in College.
(20:46) Ha! Wrong! I'm in Uni.
(20:47) How about you?
(20:49) I'm … Older.
(20:53) How much older?
(20:59) ?
(21:16) Older.
.
.
Tuesday AM
.
(10:12) So how much older are you?
(10:15) Guy or Girl?
(10:17) Guy. So how much older?
(10:19) Why do you care so much?
(10:22) Why are you so ashamed of your age?
(10:25) I'm not ashamed.
(10:26) So tell me :D
(10:31) Nope. Just for that emoticon, I am refusing to disclose personal information about myself.
(10:33) Wow. You're literally aging yourself as we speak.
(10:34) Just because I appreciate the English language doesn't mean that I am old.
(10:37) It also doesn't mean you're young.
(10:40) I'm older than you. That's all you need to know.
(10:43) OMG YOU'RE ACTUALLY AN OLD MAN AREN'T YOU?
(10:46) I UNWITTINGLY TEXT A PENT-UP OLD PERV!
(11:05) I'm so glad I ignored that. If I'd seen that instantly, I'd have chucked my phone at my students' heads.
(11:09) So … you're a teacher?
(11:12) Yes. I'm a teacher.
(11:17) I'm all nervous now. I feel like maybe I'm texting my math's tutor.
(11:20) Wrong. I don't teach maths.
(11:22) So you're texting whilst in class?
(11:26) Yes. Apparently so. It's a quiz-day.
(11:29) Oh, you're one of THOSE teachers.
(11:32) One of 'what' teachers?
(11:34) The one's that always give surprise quizzes.
(11:38) So what? I'm allowed to extort my power over these simple-minded brats.
(11:43) You're evil.
(11:46) You enjoy my evilness. Why else would you keep texting me?
(11:55) I … literally don't know how to respond to that.
(11:58) I do. You're a masochist. You love pain and the excitement brought on by texting a potential OAP murderer.
(12:02) OMG NO! I nearly got a cramp from laughing so hard!
(12:48) You probably deserved that public humiliation.
.
.
Tuesday PM
.
(14:06) I really REALLY hate you.
(14:09) No you don't.
(14:15) Honestly, I do.
(14:17) Quiet brat. I'm shaping young minds into obedient members of society.
(14:46) More like brainwashing them to be your manservants when the apocalypse occurs.
(14:56) There's that too.
.
.
(20:23) Since you're a teacher, you can help me with all my homework! :D
(20:34) What did we discuss about emoticons?
(20:36) That they're … bad?
(20:39) Good boy.
(20:41) Besides, I am not about to let you cheat to get good grades.
(20:45) It's not cheating! It's helping!
(20:47) Do you or do you not have a test sometime tomorrow?
(20:56) … I might.
(21:02) Then no. I will not help you.
(21:04) You're the worst. Why do I talk to you?
(21:07) I'm wondering the same thing.
(23:09) So really, how old are you?
(23:16) Go to sleep, brat.
.

Wednesday PM
.
(13:02) It feels weird that I haven't messaged you this morning.
(13:10) My sister and friends keep asking who I'm talking to.
(13:15) Oh shit. I just realised how that sounded.
(13:19) I'm sorry.
(14:28) I mean, I'm not sorry. I like talking to you. God I'm really bad at this!
(14:35) Have I freaked you out?
(14:56) I guess you're busy. I'll leave you be.
.
.
(16:23) Hey kid, sorry I forgot my phone at home and only just got back.
(16:25) To answer your earlier question, no, you didn't freak me out. I … actually enjoy talking to you too.
(16:51) Wow … that's a nice message to randomly look down and see. I honestly got a little freaked that I wouldn't get another message from you again. As creepy as that might seem to some people.
(16:55) In what way?
(16:58) I have you saved in my phone as 'GRUMPY TEACHER'.
(17:03) Actually, a rather good description of me.
(17:05) So what am I saved as on your phone?
(17:08) You so set that up. Fine. You're saved as 'SHITTY BRAT'.
(17:11) WHAT?! THAT'S SO RUDE!
(17:23) I'm sorry, did you expect something endearing?
(17:26) Well, clearly I was wrong to assume.
(17:29) Everyone is wrong to assume anything at any given time.
(17:31) Besides, from me, 'shitty' is basically endearment in my dictionary.
(17:35) Awww, look at you getting all soft on me.
(17:37) Where's my mean, evil, murdering old man, eh?
(17:45) Washing the blood off my kitchen floors.
(17:52) I thought you said you were like DEXTER and were clean as fuck?
(17:54) I am. That's why I'm cleaning the blood off my floor. Twerp.
(18:04) Okay how did that make me smile?
(18:09) Cause you're weird?
(18:16) Oh yeah!
(18:23) Shitty brat.
(18:28) Grumpy teacher :P
.

Friday AM
.
(9:03) So how many 'friends' do you have in this little group of yours? I need to know what I'm up against.
(9:06) Are you serious? I am literally just starting my lesson.
(9:08) You're also texting me :P
(9:19) You're annoying. Now shut up and pay attention to your OWN teacher.
(9:24) I am ;)
(9:34) Fuck off with your emoticons!
(9:41) Oh shit. I just had a horrible thought. What if you ARE one of my teachers?
(9:53) Is that bad?
(9:59) YES! All my teachers are awful!
(10:12) Okay so what lesson are you in now?
(10:17) History.
(10:23) Okay, describe your teacher to me.
(10:31) Short, dark hair, pot-belly, and rubbery looking ears and nose.
(10:34) Haha. I can confirm that it is not me.
(10:38) I can't lie. I'm so relieved right now!
(10:42) I'd have needed therapy if you were Mr. Stevens.
(10:46) So … History huh?
(10:59) Yes.
(11:24) Do you enjoy it?
(11:27) I do. Wasn't my initial plan but I've been doing it for a while now.
(11:30) What was your plan? Originally, I mean.
(11:33) I didn't really have much of an option.
(11:38) What do you mean? Did your parents push you into a career? That sucks.
(11:47) Nope. They pushed me into joining the army after my 'stunts' in school. I got discharged after I took three bullets in my chest, back and leg. Then, after extensive therapy, I went into teaching.
(11:58) Oh my God … I am so sorry.
(12:03) It's fine. It was a long time ago.
(12:06) No, seriously. I talk without thinking. I shouldn't have pushed, I'm sorry!
(12:09) Kid, I told you, it's fine.
(12:15) Okay. If you're sure.
(12:34) So, I've been doing some thinking.
(12:39) I thought I heard of a national disaster somewhere.
(12:43) Wow. I was trying to be heartfelt. Don't think I'll bother now.
(12:57) Kid, I'm joking. What were you going to say?
(13:09) I was going to … trade some personal information.
(13:13) Tit for tat, and all that.
(13:17) Okay.
(13:21) My name … is Eren.
(13:27) Nicer than 'brat' or 'kid' huh?
(13:33) I quite like the ring of 'brat' or 'kid'. It makes me feel powerful.
(13:45) You're a teacher. How much more power do you want?
(13:48) All of it.
(13:59) Are you seriously going to leave me hanging?
(14:11) Depends over what? A vat of acid? Sharks? Volcano?
(14:34) …?
(14:38) Fine. If you like, you can change my contact name to 'Levi'.
(14:41) Is that pronounced 'Leev-eye' or 'Leh-vee'.
(14:53) I'm sort of wishing you were in my class just so I could throw my phone at your head!
(14:57) I need to know how to sound your name.
(14:59) Why?
(15:06) In case I want to divulge your identity to my nosey friends.
(15:08) Eren.
(15:11) I've never seen my name look so intimidating over text. I've given you too much power!
(15:15) Eren.
(15:18) …Yes?
(15:23) I like your name too.
A/N: There we are! Levi gave a sort-of-compliment. Ish. Very Levi though ;)
How doth we like the story so far my beautiful readers?
