So the first chapter has so many mistakes in it that its barely readable. I'm sorry about that, I was excited to get it uploaded and didn't stop and think and re-read it to make sure all the mistakes were taken care of. This chapter hopefully will be a bit better. Also I'll space out the paragraphs better too on this one. Although the first chapter was easy to read on a phone I personally found it difficult to read on the computer.
Well here it goes Chapter 2!
Chapter 2: New People
Popping her earphones in, the short blonde made her way through the garden to the front gate. Wendy and Jasper had offered to give her a lift since the two boys get a lift from their friends. But Annie just wanted to be alone for a change. Ever since she got here she has had very little time to herself.
As the music began to play the short blonde turned around and closed the gate before making her way towards the school. She already knew the way to the school. She was given directions by her foster-parents and had looked it up on google-maps. Pulling up her hood and pushing her hands into her pockets Annie trudged her way down the road to school. It was only twenty minutes away from the house and a long walk like that each day wasn't going to kill her.
The ground was littered with leave's, It was late October and in another few days it would be November. Annie hated October for one reason, Hallowe'en, it was her least favourite time of year. She hated the fireworks and trick or treaters. There wasn;t one thing she liked about it. Even as a young child she dispised it.
Looking back down at the various colours of leave's Annie began putting them into pictures. Her artistic mind would take her above the clouds quite alot of them time. Actually if there was anything about October she DID infact like were the leave's, the old weather and the fog in the morning.
She enjoyed nature, she wasn;t a tree-hugger but enjoyed it never-the-less. It did annoy her when people abused it but that was human nature. She continue down the road, as she did she kicked a rock along with her out of pure boredom.
Looking up Annie realised where she was. She had finally reached hell in disguise. The short blonde looked around nervously to see if there were any people outside. There was a few small groups loudly talking and laughing but that was about it. Hesitatly she stepped in through the school gates and began to walk towards the front enterance.
When she reached the front of the school and went to open the door it was locked. 'So thats why theres so many bags around...' She thought to herself with annoyance. The school would be open by half eight. It was going to be a long ten minute wait...
Annie sighed and looked towards the gate she came through. Hordes of people were beginning to come and students who could drive legally were starting to arrive and park up. The short blonde figgeting in her little spot. She was right beside the door and it seemed everyone was on their way towards it. Some other students went over to another door at the other side of the yard but when it was discovered it was locked they turned around and made their way towards the door Annie stood by.
'Way too many people!' She inwardly paniced and grabbed her bag. She made her way down the ramp and bumpedoff soemthing or someone.
"Woah hey!" A male voice spoke. Annie looked up at a taller figure. He had brown hair and emerald like eyes. She frowned at him before continueing on. "Hey! Arn;t you gonna say sorry!" He shouted after her. She really just wanted to turn around and hit him now.
"Eren leave her alone, she didn;t mean it obviously." A female voice this time. So the boys name was Eren, She stopped and stood near the corner of the building as the pair glared at her. She could feel their eyes peircing through her soul. They didn't even know her and already judged.
The blonde closed her eyes and sighed trying to block out everyone around her. She had her headphones on full blast. It hurt her ears actually. Opening her crystal-like eyes the short blonde looked over at the pair again, there was a third person to their party now. This third person was a tall blond boy, nearly the same height as this Eren person.
He looked over to her and their eyes locked, His eyes were a deep ocean blue, they sparkled with interest. Annie held a bored expression and looked away. She turned down her music and leaned up against the wall, Her hands were placed back in her pockets now but her hood was down.
The music was low enough to hear footsteps come closer to her. Looking up she saw the blond b oy approaching her. Shuffling a little with nervousness she stood up-right and gave him a cold hard glare. It didn;t seem to bother the boy.
"Hey um, Sorry about Eren he over-reacts. I'm Armin, Armin Arlert. I'm guessing youre new here?" He asked. The tall blond was only a few feet away now. It made her uneasy.
"Um yeah sure whatever." She answered in a mumble. She looked back down to the ground again. The boy made his way towards the wall and leaned up against it beside her. "So whats your name?" He asked softly looking to the girl with questioning eyes. Was he going to bother her all day? "Does it matter?" She asked coldy looking up to the boy with an intense stare.
She was annoyed now and wanted him to leave her alone. "Well um, It would be nice to know your name, I've never seen you around school before. You're new right?" He asked the question twice now. Annie frowned and simply ignored him now and looked away into the parking lot. To her horror the boys were approaching her. 'Fucking brilliant...' She thought to herself and frowned.
"Yo! Arlert, making friends with the new girl I see!" Reiner teased. Armin looked to the taller more masculine boy with confusion. "Um, I don't know?" He looked down at the small blond about to ask again but was inturupted by Reiners rudness.
"Her names Annie Lion-somthing. She's hanging with my and Bert for a while now." He voiced loudly. Armin looked to the girl, she was staring at Reiner as if she were about to kill him on the spot. He admired her features though for the few seconds he could see her face fully. She had gorgeous crystal like eyes, they were almost like diamonds. A very light shade of blond hair, it was almost like snow, tied up into a sloppy bun. It brought out her features better. She had an unusually large nose but it suited her never-the-less.
He looked away with a small smile on his face and spoke, he didn;t look to her but continued to talk anyway. "Well, Annie, I hope to see you again sooner or later. Maybe we're in the same classes?" He said happily. "If you need any help getting around I'd be-" Cut off he looked back down at the girl who stared at him in a full on annoyed glare, it made him flinch a little.
"I do not need some pip-squeaks help. Now leave me alone." She hissed angerly getting up from the wall and walking off towards the door which was finally open. She entered the school and made her way to the office which thankfully was right beside the school door.
Armin watched her leave and sighed. He got up from leaning on the wall and joined his two friends Mikasa and Eren. "Well, how'd it go Armin?" Eren asked as if he saw or heard nothing. "She's...tense. But it didn;t help that Reiner and Bert gave away her name without permission." He said frowning at the two infront of them. "How does Reiner and Bert know her?" He asked with confusion now. Eren didn;t know they had a sister.
"Maybe she's being foster-cared? Like Reiner?" He answered with a question. As they entered the school her looked towards the petite blond who impatiently waited outside the school office. "Wait! Reiners being foster-cared?" Eren voiced out loudly, Even Mikasa rolled her eyes at his statement.
"Eren, you're a little slow arn;t you?" She teased. Mikasa was a tall girl, she held a stoic face quite alot but was very kind. She had black silky hair and pale skin. She was a strong person, although she looked weak she could beat the crap out of anybody in the school. But Annie looked liek somebody who could do that too.
Armin wanted to befriend the new girl, but she seemed to block everyone out. Maybe he could be the one to open her along with his friends...if they want to.
Annie sighed and leaned up against the office door and watched the hordes of people walk by to get to their lockers. 'This school has alot of people...' she thought to herself in dismay. 'I'll survive... Hopefully.' Annie looked around the place. The air was musty like an old school and there was a case of trophies near the door and pictures or foot-ball teams and other stuff.
None of it interested her. All she wanted was to get her time-table and map and get on with it.
