Time Skip 2 years...

Here I stand saluting, '(m/n) Maizoko', at 15 years old, in front of Commander Smith, at the graduation ceremony. The past two years had been kind of overwhelming, as both Eren and Annie were discovered to be titan shifters. Although Annie had been let off of the whole execution thing (because she had been secretly sneaking out at night to kill the Titans on her own), Eren was hauled in front of the court and was going to be killed, but then had his butt kicked by some corporal person, and was released under the claim that "they would use his titan shifting ability to their advantage". Well, of course he had his butt kicked! How was he supposed to fight back? I had thought, before trying to help Armin restrain a murderous Mikasa that had started to try and climb over the little fence thing that kept the people back so she could murder the corporal.

I, who had managed to keep my gender a secret for these past 2 years, graduated with a rank of _th. It was rather difficult to try and keep the fact that I was actually a girl a secret, as there was bath and lights out time, and also since Jean is a massive pervert and had suggested we sneak into the girl's bath to peep more than once. Smacking him was fun, I recalled, before straightening up some more, as Commander Smith had started walking around before us. He began to give a speech about our efforts and hard work and stuff (basically stuff I'm too bored to repeat), before finally saying one line.

"For those of you who wish to join the Survey Corps, please remain standing. Everyone else is free to go."

With that sentence, almost everybody who was standing in the court yard turned and left.

I was being pushed around by the mob of people who was so desperate to leave, to not stay behind and be in the Survey Corps. In fact, there was such a big swarm of people, that I was almost shoved out of line. A part of me was tempted to join them, to leave the court yard and be assigned to something safer, something that I know won't kill me immediately, but I knew I couldn't risk it. During the past two years, my father had started appearing in Wall Rose more and more, giving speeches about "losing his beloved daughter" who had "ran away in a fit of rage and rebelliousness" and how "he wishes to be reunited with her" because "he loves her so much". Honestly how people believed him, I have no idea. Guards have been walking around, patrolling the streets and questioning people if they have seen me before. I had to be extra careful, not going out too often (although I did go and buy bread occasionally), and staying with a big group of friends so I would stand out less.

There's no other option, I thought, I have to join the Survey Corps. "Being in the Survey Corps is dangerous work. Most people who join will die, no matter how good they might think they are. It requires a lot of courage to join." A few more people left slowly, leaving only about 25 people left. My knees started shaking.

"For those who are left," Commander stopped pacing, and smiled. "I admire your courage and bravery to join. All of you are accepted."

I couldn't believe it. We were accepted, just like that?! I was finally in, after all these years of training and hard work, I was finally in. Everyone sighed in relief, before walking into the mess hall for the celebratory dinner (Sasha almost killed a person running in though).

I sat with Eren, Armin, and Mikasa again, just because it was easier to hang out with them than everyone else. Bertolt and Reiner are really tall and intimidating and they honestly scare me, even if Bertolt is shy and nice to almost everyone. Annie isn't tall, but she nearly scalped Eren once, so I try to stay away from her as much as possible. Krista and Ymir seem ok, but Ymir is also tall and intimidating and scary when something happens to Krista, so I don't really want to mess around her. Jean's a dick so you do the math. Connie and Sasha are just... just no (although I do sneak food for Sasha and we have food-fests in her room secretly strictly as friends). I was pretty much friends with everyone, but it was more like acquaintances than close friends.

I sat there chewing on my panini ((a/n yes there is panini in their universe deal with it)), when suddenly a face appeared in front of mine.

"HI! I'M SQUAD LEADER HANJI!" I almost died, and spent a good few minutes choking on my spit/panini. "I'm gonna be helping with the expeditions, so I hope we all become great friends!"

"*Cough* H-hi! *choke* I-I'm (m/n), nice to meet you?" I tried not to look disgusting and gross, but I seriously doubt that my efforts were working.

"I know! You were one of the best cadets at hand-to-hand combat!" She exclaimed, sliding into the free seat next to me. "Your grades were also pretty admirable, so I'm gonna kidnap you and you're gonna be my new assistant!"

"Sure- wait, what?!" I tried to speak but choked once again. Damn you, delicious panini!

"Shitty glasses you can't kidnap people, you know." A different voice spoke up, making me jump in surprise. I turned around, and sucked in a breath of air.

The person that had spoken was short, but had a well-build body, signifying his strength that other people might over look. He had sleek, raven black hair, and glaring, steely gray eyes that seemed to be fixed in a permanent scowl. The outfit he wore was the standard Survey Corps uniform, but there was a cravat wound around his neck. He leaned against the wall, unimpressed at Hanji's 'kidnapping' attempt.

But damn. He was so short!

"Aw, but shorty!" She whined, clinging onto me as if her life depended on it. "He's so good with science and stuff I HAVE to have him!" Am I an object now? Because that's what seemed to be going down right about now. 'Shorty' signed, rubbing at his temples in exasperation. It was quite obvious that he has to deal with her daily.

"I'm Lance Corporal Levi, you better remember that, brat." He didn't offer his hand to shake, but I was fine with not touching him. Hand shaking was overrated anyways.

"I'm (m/n) Maizoko." If I had turned around a second left, I would have missed Eren sweating in the seat next to me.

"(m-m/n)," he stammered, "that's the corporal who... uh..." Suddenly I remembered. Oh yeah! He was the one who beat up Eren during court that day.

"I'm still angry at you for taking the strawberry that was on my cake earlier, so I don't care 'bout you right now." Mikasa almost beheaded me with the smack that I earned after that. Ouch.

"Anyways, I'll see all you shitty brats tomorrow when we have our roll call. Bye." 'Corporal' then sauntered out the mess hall, probably headed to his office somewhere.

"Oh it is getting late!" Hanji let go of me, and walked out after him. "I'll see you later, (m/n)! And it was nice seeing you again, Eren!" I gasped (because Hanji practically had me in a death grip during that whole conversation), and went to finish my panini.

"So I suppose you're Squad Leader Hanji's assistant now?" Armin asked, and patted Eren on the back. Mikasa glared at Corporal's retreating back, almost if she was trying to burn a hole in the back of his head. I chewed.

"I think so? I dunno..."

Today was a crazy day.

Sorry for the extended hiatus pause, I'll try to type more...
