Chapter 3 Eren's Past
I'm sorry I know this one is kind of short but I didn't want to put to much information on Eren just yet and that end was a good stopping point in my head. Please review and tell me what you would like to see.
The rain was hitting the other side of the window from Eren. He sat in the principal's office. He just stared out the window bored out of his mind.
Connie probably ratted me out to them. Haha it took them long enough to figure out who spray painted the wall of the cafeteria. What's taking so long. Just send me home and get my suspension over with.
While on the inside of the office was the principal and some old man. They were discussing what to do with Eren. "Please Mrs. Hanji I really would like it if you could just transfer him to that honor school, up north." Mrs. Hanji just looked at the old man and thought of the options.
"Mr. Pyxis, look Eren is just not fit for that type of school. He's a rule breaker and doesn't get along well with others. His grades are suffering and…" Hanji stated but Pyxis cut her off, "He is a very bright kid, he just doesn't try and it's because of the environment here with all the other students. Trust me he is a good kid who is just misunderstood."
Hanji gave him an interested look "He's been in 4 fights just this semester and suspended twice." Pyxis groaned and rubbed his face. He thought on how he could do this.
His face lit up. "Ok ok, how about I make you a deal?" Hanji paused for a moment and slowly asked, "What kind of deal?" Pyxis started to explain, "You put him in the new school and I promise you he won't get in a fight with another student and even raise his grades from a 'D' to at least a 'C'."
Hanji smiled and shook her head. "You really care about this kid, don't you?"
Pyxis gave a small smile and said "He is a good kid, He's just been through a lot." He sighed. Hanji saw his sad face and said "Alright fine, but if he gets in one fight over there then he's going to be expelled from this whole district."
Pyxis face gleamed and stood up to shake her hand. "You won't regret this believe me." She smiled and said "I believe you, I'm just not sure about him" she pointed to the door acknowledging Eren. "Just make sure he's there tomorrow, I don't want him to be late on his first day."
"I promise you he won't." Pyxis face was so happy that he left with a big grin. He opened the door to see Eren looking out the window. "Come on my boy, let's get you home." Pyxis said cheerfully. Eren looked at him questioningly expecting him to be mad at him for getting in trouble. But Eren didn't complain.
They walked out of the school building with a smile on Pyxis' face. Eren was still confused on what happened in the office. Pyxis opened the car door for Eren and then hopped into his driver seat. Eren sat waiting for Pyxis to explain what happened. Halfway through the drive to home Eren finally asked, "So am I suspended?"
Pyxis laughed and said "No no, my boy, don't worry just know that you won't be going to that school anymore." Eren's jaw dropped. "What do you mean! Did I get expelled!?" Pyxis smiled because usually it looked like Eren didn't care about school at all. It was a good change to see some fright in his voice in not being able to go to school.
Pyxis grinned and said, "You will be transferred to the honor school up north. Isn't that exciting?" Eren looked at him with a face of confusion and anger. He couldn't be serious right? I mean why in the world would they send me that, with all the perfect students, when I do all this stuff at the school and don't even have a grade higher than a 'C'. Eren waited to see Pyxis say something like 'I'm joking' or even 'Ha look at your face my boy' but nothing came to show that Pyxis wasn't serious.
"Wait are you being serious?! I am actually going to an honor school with all those snobs?!" Eren exclaimed. Pyxis smile dropped for a second and then looked at Eren with a more serious demeanor. Eren was taken aback by this sudden change in tension in the car. "Look, my boy, this will be good for you. You will be away from all those bad influences and you will be put in a place that you can grow into a fine young man." Eren shook his head with anger, "You didn't think of asking me at least if I wanted this? You took me away from all my friends." Pyxis corrected, "Friend you mean." Eren scoffed and proceeded to look out the car window and watched the rain droplets roll down the window.
Pyxis, feeling like he won the argument, just kept his eyes on the road and didn't talk for the rest of the way. He'll see, this is exactly what he needs.
The ride was quiet all the way up to when they reached the driveway. Eren looked up and thought Home Sweet Home. He looked at the sign 'Pyxis' Orphanage' and proceeded to go inside.
