I didn't realize that Mikasa and I fell asleep. I took my arm off from around her and looked at the clock. It read 6:23pm. "Dinner will be ready soon" I shook her awake and we headed downstairs.
"Oh there you guys are" my mom said in her always cheery voice. "Wash up for dinner, we're having pot roast"
As we were eating my dad walked in.
"Hey there Eren, Mikasa, and Carla." He said and went over to my mom and gave her a kiss. Most kids would be grossed out by this but as I got older I got used to it.
He took his place at the table and mom gave him his servings. "Man was today busy, must be something going around."
"Well I rarely get sick anyway" I said.
After we ate and helped mom with dishes, Mikasa wanted to watch anime. She loves anime her favorite's Fairy Tail, she got me into it too, so now every time she comes over we watch it together. We cuddled up on the couch and turned it on, we of course sang along to the theme.
"Get him Natsu use fire wing attack" I shouted at the screen. "Aw come on now Lucy's hurt"
"What's new" Mikasa said. We both chuckled.
"Now Erza beat the bad guy, I wanted Natsu to do it and now Gray's shirtless, Juvia has heart eyes."
Mikasa cut me off "and Lisanna's crying about her failed relationship with Natsu"
I literally spit my pepsi out on that one.
After watching a few episodes it was time to take Mikasa home. We got in my car and I turned on the show's first theme "Snow Fairy" for her.
I walked her up to the door, like a gentleman of course, we kissed and said our goodbyes.
On the way home I saw someone really tall walking on the sidewalk, it was none other than Bertholt. I rolled down the window to say something.
"Hey Bertholt"
He turned around.
"Oh hi"
"What you doing out so late"
"I just needed a little walk to clear my thoughts"
"Annie still on your mind"
He nodded. "I don't know what to do, she's so happy with Armin. I just can't ruin that for her."
"How about we talk tomorrow I see another car coming so I better move"
I rode back home and I showered then passed out on my bed.
The next day was the same routine as yesterday. All except Annie wasn't there; I asked Armin what was up.
"She worked so late yesterday, she probably slept in. I don't like her working so much, I feel like our time together has been limited"
"Mikasa only works two days a week, why doesn't Annie"
"Because the place she works doesn't have many workers and they're always busy but no one seems to be applying there."
I saw Annie was coming towards us, looks like she decided to come, she looked really tired though.
"Hey Armin" She gave him a hug. "Wanna come with me to my locker"
"Yeah sure" He turned to me. "See you later" I watched them as they left and waited for Mikasa to come back from her locker, I didn't go because I wanted to talk to Armin about Annie.
After a few minutes of waiting she came and we headed off to English. "So I talked to Armin about Annie."
"What was up?"
"She did come but she worked really late last night. Her work doesn't have many workers." We talked a little bit more about it and class was starting.
"Hello again class" said as she walked in. "Today I'll have you guys read these short stories as an intro to our short stories unit" She handed out the sheets of text.
"Okay just read that individually and I'll be right back." She stepped out of the room and I saw that Mr. Ackerman was out there. I tried reading the stories but all I heard was them talking out there, I decided to ask Connie if he knew what it was all about. "Hey Connie, do you know why they're talking, she's been out there a long time now"
"Well from what I heard they're engaged." He said.
"Woah really" I said surprised.
He nodded. "So we better get used to this"
We got quiet because she came back in for a minute. "Okay class did you read them all"
We all nodded even though we didn't because her and Mr. Ackerman's conversation was all we heard.
"Good, there's ten minutes left so just do whatever." And with that she was out in the hall again.
I took my phone out and started playing Flappy Bird.
"Shit! Dammit! Come on!"
"What are you swearing about now" Mikasa asked.
"Stupid Flappy Bird, I suck at it"
"Well I can teach you if you'd like, I'm pretty good at it" Annie asked me.
"Yes please! So what do I do?"
"Well… you tap it" She said and laughed.
"Seriously Annie" I gave her the evil eye.
"Well that is all you really do in it"
After that class I walked Mikasa to her class and kissed her goodbye then headed for science. I saw Sasha and Connie kissing and hugging outside the door.
"Hey smoochers" I gave them a kissy face.
"Look who's talking" Connie came and gave me a playful punch in the arm.
"I'm just teasing. Better get going bell's going to ring"
I swear was getting crazier by the minute. "Okay now the reason I said Barium in the joke is because one of the elements on the periodic table is called Barium say it with me Barium."
"Barium Barium Barium" We all said.
"And in the second joke I said Atoms make everything up because why, okay who wants to answer"
I raised my hand. "Eren"
"Because they do make up everything"
"Correct!"
After that boring class it was time for Mr. Ackerman's, I hope Ms. Ral doesn't show up and they talk again.
Mr. Ackerman was doing some problems on the board when she did walk in.
"Okay 3X-5=25 solve for X and to do that"
"Hey Levi, can we talk." She said peeking through the door.
"Excuse me class, try to do it by yourselves" He went out into the hall with her.
After fifteen minutes of them out there the talking turned to yelling. We all tried to listen in on it.
"NO! I will not allow that!" Mr. Ackerman shouted.
"I can't change his mind!" Ms. Ral shouted back.
I went over to Krista and Ymir who were sitting closest to the door. "Hey what's going on out there?" I asked.
"Something about her dad saying she was too young to get married." Krista said.
"Why you ask it's clearly none of your business anyway" Ymir said.
"Just wondering" I then went back to my seat because he came back in and we finished class with no problem.
I decided to stay after and talk to him. "Hey Mr. Ackerman."
"No" he said coldly.
Mikasa came and grabbed my hand and pulled me away. "Come on Eren it's lunch time"
We sat at our table again but this time a face that wasn't there yestetday showed up, Jean.
"I'm back from my tropical vacation, bet you missed me." He said all cocky.
"You went to your grandma's in Iowa" Marco said.
"Shh Marco" Jean quieted him.
Krista started taking selfies with her phone. "What's the pics for Kris" I asked.
"Just posting to my snapchat story"
I never really looked at her story because it was always filled with pictures of her, her and Ymir, or her dog.
"Football seasons starting up next week can't wait" Reiner said all pumped.
"Yeah and cheer's starting to" Mikasa said. "Oh Annie, Krista, Sasha." They all looked at her since they're on the cheer team to. "We're getting 2 new members this year their names are Mina and Hanna."
We talked about the upcoming season and homecoming. "Hey Annie I need to tell you something" Bertholt said to her. "In private"
"Okay" She looked at Armin for approval and he let her go with her friend.
Man he's gonna do it but why now, shit I hope this doesn't get ugly"
