Chapter 2: The second Impression

The two just stared at each other watching each others moves, studying each others actions. The tension in the air was so thick that you could choke on it. The principal butted in and said "ahem… Eren this is Mikasa Ackerman. Mikasa meet Eren Jaeger. He is a new student and I would like for you to show him around."

Mikasa looked at the principal like he's lost his mind. "Principal Erwin you can't be serious!?" Erwin raised an eyebrow.

"Why, have you guys met before?" asked Erwin. "We have…" Mikasa said. "Not, met sir." Eren cut her off. Mikasa gave him a surprise look as Eren smirked at her.

"Good then. Mikasa please show this man around our school and where his classes might be." Erwin commanded and then pushed the two kids out his office and went back to work. Mikasa looked at Eren as the kid looked at her expectantly. "Shouldn't you be showing me around the school?"

Mikasa glared at him and said, "Don't you remember me? We literally bumped into me and didn't even apologize earlier." Eren snickered and said "Your mad about that? Well I'm sorry…" Mikasa smiled a bit and said "thank you…" "that you think you need an apology." Eren said cutting her off.

Mikasa scoffed "If you want me to show you around the school then I want an apology." Eren laughed at her and said, "I don't want you to show me around." Mikasa looked puzzled so Eren explained, "If you didn't take the offer than that principal would have found someone else to do it and I don't feel like wasting my time in there, so it's easier for me to sneak off now, bye." Eren turned on his heels and started walking away.

Mikasa yelled, "Wait I'll get in trouble if you ditch, your under my watch." Eren looked back but kept walking with a smirk on his face." Not my problem" and he simply just left and went towards the roof of the school.

Mikasa debated if she should try to go after him but ultimately gave up. She thought that it wasn't worth the trouble and that he probably wouldn't even try to walk around with her.

Meanwhile

Christa got up from the cafeteria to go throw away her food. On her way to the trash a couple of girls were chatting at their table and saw her. One whispered, "Isn't that the girl that's friends with that loser, Mikasa." Another replied "I think so, she's going to be brought down by that girl in the social ladder." The girl at the head of the table, who looked like the leader of the girls said, "Maybe we should help her out and befriend her."

All the other girls looked at her with a questioning look and one even said, "Ymir do you think it's such a good idea to bring her into our little group, I mean what if she brings Mikasa with her." Ymir said cooly, "Shes not with her right now we'll just tell her to not bring her." All the other girls nodded and agreed.

"Hey Christa! Come over here!" One of the girls yelled from their table. Christa looked over at the table in shock and pointed to herself. "Yea you, come on over." yelled Ymir. Christa slowly approached them like they were sharks that were going to attack at any moment.

"Um.. hey." said Christa shyly. Ymir grinned and motioned for her to take a seat. Christa took a seat hesitantly and thought Why do they want me to sit with them. They are the most popular girls in school. Ymir looked her up and down and Christa started to feel nervous under her gaze.

Ymir finally spoke, "Hey Christa I saw that you were eating alone for awhile." it was more of a statement then a question. Christa replied shyly, "Yea...Mikasa was with me but she had to go." Ymir smiled and asked simply , "Why do you hang out with that loser anyways?"

Christa was taken aback at first about to defend her friend but one of the girls spoke up "We mean if you just hang out with us you would be one of the popular kids instead of always hanging out with her." she made sure to put extra emphasis on 'her'.

Christa bit her bottom lip and thought on how much this would make her life better. She would need this to get more friends. Sure Mikasa has been there for her but she would really love to have more friends and maybe the guys in her class would pay attention to her for once.

"Yea I'll hang out with you guys." Christa said confidently. Ymir had a big smile "But you know you'll have to leave Mikasa behind right." Christa sat still for a second thinking if she was making a wrong choice but finally nodded. "Good the bell is going to ring soon so let's all go to class."

Ymir was happy that her plan was working. Finally I took away Mikasa's only friend. This is going to be great payback. She has hated Mikasa since middle school but what few didn't know was that they were best friends back then.

All the girls started to get up and head out of the cafeteria.

Mikasa wondered back into the cafeteria just in time to see her best friend leave with Ymir and her group. Mikasa felt like she has just been stabbed in the heart. Ymir saw Mikasa from the corner of her eye and gave her an evil grin. Mikasa felt the tears start to well up in her eyes.

She ran out of the cafeteria before anyone else can see her cry. She went through the halls going past all sort of people as they stared at her. She needed to get to somewhere that no one else was. She started going up the stairs of the school.

She saw the sign that said roof and just kept going up. She opened the door that led to the roof and sat at the edge looking at all the students in the quad. The bell rung for students to get to class but Mikasa didn't move. She usually never missed class but right now she had to be away from everyone.

How could Christa do that to me. She knows that Ymir hates me and has a personal vendetta to ruin my life.

She sat there crying for a while when suddenly a white puff of smoke hit her nose. She started coughing and looked up. There was a boy there with a cigarette in his mouth, hair combed back and just looking at her with those green eyes.

It was Eren Jaeger and for once he didn't have that mean grin on his face but one of confusion.

"What are you doing here?" he asked curiously. Mikasa wiped away her tears and just stared at him unable to talk. He waited for a response for a second and then lost his patience. He got up in her face and asked in a cold tone, "Why the tears babe?"

Mikasa was not going to open up to a complete stranger that was rude to her earlier. She didn't want him to make fun of her for this.

Mikasa bit her lip and said "I'm not your babe. Don't call me that." Eren looked at her with a glare and said "Alright then don't tell me what's wrong. See if I care." He took another puff of his cigarette.

"You shouldn't smoke here." Mikasa said trying to change the subject. "Why cuz its bad for my health." Eren said in a mocking tone. "No because were on school grounds and that's against the rules. I could care less about your health" Mikasa said. Eren scoffed and took another puff.

"Then go ahead and report me." Eren said coldly. Mikasa looked at him seeing if she could see any fear in his face if he got caught. There was no sense of anything in his eyes except for anger. She sensed that he was always angry.

Mikasa simply replied "They could tell your parents and they could ground you and…" She stopped talking once she saw Eren's eyes turn into a murderous gaze. It felt like he was trying to kill her with just a look. Eren's eyes narrowed and he spoke in a tone colder than ice, "You know nothing about me or my family so I think you should stop making assumptions.

He got up and started heading down the stairs of the roof. Mikasa sat there unsure of what to do but she knew for sure that she didn't want to see him ever again or see anyone for that matter.
