She was grabbing her books in her locker when she saw him. He was just walking with his head down, not paying attention to anything at all. He seems disconnected from everything. She knew how he felt... bored... just like her.
He was just an average boy. She was popular and had everything she could possibly want, but it wasn't enough for her. Or perhaps it was too much...
They don't interact too much but...
...
Eren was walking towards his next class which starts in 10 minutes. Armin and Mikasa never share a class with him. The only time he can meet them is during lunch and after school. His mind still was trying to decipher that strange dream he had last night. Most importantly, why was Historia in it? He never paid her much attention.
But he remembers that one time he tried to eat her head. It wasn't his best moment but it was her own fault for spreading rumors about him. She had forgiven him about that and they never talked too much about that situation again.
For him, she was just like all the other popular kids, just jerks minding their own business, living their lives. But...
Something always felt off about Historia.
"Good morning..." A voice called to him.
He turns to see the woman of his thoughts standing in front of him.
"Um... good morning?" He greeted, confused why she wanted to talk to him.
"How are you Eren?" Historia asks, her blue eyes locked with his green ones.
"I'm... ok." He says. He was mostly bored but she didn't need to know that. This conversation is not really stimulating to say the least. He just wanted to get to class and get this boring day over with.
"The weather is nice today isn't it?" She asks. Eren felt confused. What did she want?
"But it's cloudy outside right now."
"Eh..." She shrugged.
"Do you need something from me Historia?" He sees her blushing lightly. He tilted head slightly in confusion. Why is she embarrassed talking to him?
"No! AGH! Nevermind! We need to get to class! I'll see you next period. Bye!" She waved as stormed past him.
He shrugs to himself and continues to walk to his class.
Why did she want to talk to him?
She has many friends.
He was just a boring guy.
There was nothing special about him.
He was just an average nobody.
...
Shit. Why did she feel so nervous talking to Eren? Her heart-rate always skips faster whenever she thinks about him. Her palms feel sweaty whenever he's near her. It took all her self-control to not stutter like some babbling idiot.
Her miserable attempt at a conversation made her cringe hard at herself.
'Idiot.' She berated herself. He was just a boring guy. She never had trouble with talking to others. She commanded power and authority wherever she goes but when she's with him, she felt so weak.
Perhaps she should try again another time.
She sees Hitch walking towards her, waving at her. Historia waved back.
"Morning Hitch." She greeted curtly. Hitch smirked at her. What was so funny?
"I see you Historia." She says with a knowing tone. Historia was confused.
"See what?" She asked with a slightly annoyed tone.
"The way you were talking to Eren. You looked like a nervous blushing schoolgirl in front of him." Hitch teases. Historia scoffed.
"What are you talking about?" Historia denied.
"You like Eren don't ya?" Hitch inquires cheekily. Historia knew exactly what Hitch was trying to do, but it won't work. There's no way in hell she loves Eren. They barely know each other... although it would be nice to get to know him.
"He's tolerable. You always try to set up drama Hitch. This is why your past 3 boyfriends left you." Hitch puts a hand over her heart.
"I'm hurt Historia, but you're exactly right. Although you don't need to be so blunt about it." She says in a fake hurt tone. Historia sighs. She didn't want to continue this subject any longer.
"Did you finish your part of the project for History?" Historia asks as they began to walk to Erwin Smith's class.
"Yeah I left it in Erwin-sensei's room. God, I can't wait to stare at his face for an hour. It makes an hour pass like a second." Hitch sighs dreamily while Historia sighs in exasperation. She never understood why so many people like Erwin sensei's looks. Personally for her, the eyebrows takes away a lot of his attractiveness.
"Yeah whatever. Come on, I don't wanna be late." Historia says, boredom laced in her tone.
Just another boring day of school.
Although talking to Eren did make the day feel more interesting...
