Thank you everyone for all the support you've given! It's really heart warming. To be honest I wasn't sure if I should've continued this but due to the amount of support given I decided to give ye a third chapter. I hope ye enjoy! Also I apoligise about the spacing of paragraphs. It doesn't seem to work out well.
Chapter 3: What are friends?
After receiving her timetable and map, Annie began to walk around the school to locate her first class. She still had a good fifteen to twenty minutes before class started so she took her time going through the corridors. Suprisingly the corridors were pretty deserted. There were different halls for different lockers. Each hall held the lockers for each year. She was now a third year now.
Looking down at her timetable and back up at a blue coloured door, Annie sighed. She had found her first room. Maths, a double session. Entering the room she inhaled the air through her mouth, the air tasted of chemicals of some sort. The place was a science room aswell as a math room. There were posters all over the walls about science and maths. There was a skelliton at the back of the room with a labcoat and fake glasses on. The walls were a creamy white colour, almost like her hair, and the desks were big and bulky coloured in a thick, glossy paint that felt sticky to the touch. There were two sinks per table. Each table could hold up for four students. a
Looking around, Annie noticed school bags scattered here and there. Obviously people have already been here and claimed their seats. Walking slowly to the back of the room where there was a massive window taking up most of the wall was, she set her bag down in the corner seat at the back of the room.
Taking out a copy from her bag and a black pen, Annie began to draw. Her mind took over, letting her emotions go through her finger into the pen and onto the paper, her hand glided gracefully along the paper. All her concentration was on the picture now. There were smooth curves showing calmness and then jagged edges and sharp turns showing how nervous she was about being here.
Being so engulfed, Annie didn't notice people entering the room untill a chair squeaked loudly beside her. Looking up she instantly recognised the person.
"Hey, Annie, right?" The tall boy asked, he had emerald like eyes which were quite interesting to her and dusty brown locks. Another person was with him, a girl to be exact, She was also taller than her. This girl had inky pools in here eyes were also quite facinating to her and pure silky black hair. Being an artist it was hard to ignore such mythical colours in each of their eyes. Then turning around to another boy whom she also recognised, he was the boy who she wanted to kick earlier. Armin Alert or something along those lines.
"What?" She snapped turning back to her art to sign it and put it away. "Oh um, we just wanted to introduce ourselves, Armin told us you were new." The brown haired boy answered, he seemed taken back by her rudeness. The taller girl also seemed this way but was more pissed off for some reason.
"Well I'm Eren, Eren Jaeger. And this is Mikasa Ackerman." He said pointing to the girl and giving Annie the most stupid smile ever. "What do you want?" The blonde asked, quite annoyed now that they interupted her in her zone. Looking to the boy with peircing blue orbs he seemed a little nervous now.
"So, Annie, you're an artist huh?" Annie turned her head to the blond boy from earlier who seemed to be engulfed in her work, taking in every detail he could. The picture wasn't of anything really, just a bird in chains, but he seemed to be able to read every curved and jagged line she had made on the piece. "You're really good." He said smiling, still taking in every detail as if he were evaluating her work.
Feeling a little nervous now she closed the copy and pulled it in under her elbow. "I'll ask again..what do you want?" Now she was pissed off. All she wanted was to be alone. "Oh yeah sorry! I was wondering if you'd like to come to lunch with us?" The blond asked politely. Shaking is head quickly he rephrased what he said. "I meant, only if you want..." He was nervous now.
Eren and Mikasa gave each other a look of doubt that the small blonde would come along so they both grabs their books and made the excuse of needing to study.
Armin internally sighed and looked to the girl with begging eyes, it was a silent plea. He knew she was new and probably wanted to be alone but he wanted to be her friend. She was...mysterious. She was like a puzzle he wanted to finish but couldn't find the last few peices, her art also had meaning. Although some may see a bird in chains, but he saw that every line that she drew meant something. But what?
"Look, we'll be out by the front of the school if you wanna join us, okay?" He said softly with a smile before getting up off the chair and making his way over to Eren and Mikasa. Annie sighed with relief and opened her copy to examine her work. Why was he so interested in it? She would never know. Closing it again and plopping it in her bag, she took out her maths books and other math things.
"Armin, is she gonna go to lunch with us?" Mikasa asked as if she was hoping the girl said no. Armin shrugged and took a seat beside Eren who was quickly copying Mikasa's homework. "Not sure. But I told her if she wantsto join she can meet us out front." He said taking out his copies and books for the subject.
After maths was over and done with, Annie made her way out of the science/maths room, she headed to her art room. After art would be lunch. She knew Armin and his annoying friends would be waiting, but she wasn't going to go with them. She had already found a tree on the school premises to sit by and just draw.
She was confused though, why did they invite her to lunch, or why did he since the other two, after a while of talking to her, seemed to not want her to come. That was good for her, two less people to get off her back. One annoying blond with deep blue eyes to go. Then she'd have to beat up Reiner for giving away her name without permission.
Entering the art room she was greeted by the teacher. She was a blond like herself, except it was more a ginger blond and they both were about the same height. Petra was her name, she didn't like formality so it was first name basis. Annie took her seat and did the simple drawings of circles and lines to show how to do joints. Annie already knew about this but went along with it anyway.
The art class wasn't productive. It was all basic stuff that she already knew. It was now lunchtime and everyone was escaping the school.
Armin sighed and leaned up against the wall waiting for Eren, Mikasa and hopefully Annie too. Mesing around with the few coins he had in give hand to buy some sweets or something for lunch, the boy took in his surroundings. The leave's that had fallen from the trees were soggy beneath his foot due to the rain earlier and all the threes were naked.
Seeing the brunete and oriental approach him Armin sighed and knew they wouldn't wait around. Pushing himself off the wall he joined his friends and they didn't question why they had not waited. Its as if they all knew inside she wasn't coming.
Annie frowned and crossed her arms with annoyance. They said they'd be here? But they weren't. She felt a bit betrayed but she didn't give a clear answer earlier. To be completley honest with herself, she didn't even know why she was here. Turning on her heel she made her way to the tree she had choosen to chill with today and sat down on the small wooden bench beside it.
After a while she leaned back against the tree, unable to focus on the drawing for some reason. Jumping at the sudden hand on her shoulder, Annie turned and grabbed the hand defensivley but stopped when she was met by suprised blue eyes. They were so close, she could see millions of different shards of blue running through his eyes.
He was a little shocked at her reaction but even more so when her crystal like eyes softened and gazed into his taking in every detail. Blinking a little he spoke up feeling a bit embarresed and awkward. "Um, H-Hey Annie." He stuttered, his hand was begining to feel numb from her grasp. "C-could you let go? It's staring to h-hurt.." He muttered softly. He quickly let go and turned around taking a sigh.
"Sorry" She muttered, almost inaudible. But the little shit heard it and lit up. "Oh its okay. I just saw you here alone and though I'd come over and see if you'd like to join us for the last half hour of lunch." He offered with the goofiest smile ever. But all Annie did was shake her head and look down at the scribbles on her copy.
"Oh...um okay then." He said a little upset now but smiled anyway and left something beside her on the chair before jogging off to join his friends after saying goodbye and giving a wave. She looked down and internally sighed. There was a small sweet and a note. Taking up the note to read it, her brows furrowed together at what was on the note. There was three numbers. One from each of the trio.
She would've ripped it, but instead put it in her pocket and packed up everything, including the little sweet, into her bag and made her way inside. She was confused. They were the only people in the whole school who seemed to like her. Were they what people call friends? Frowning at the words and rubbing her left arm with a squint, she continued her way to the lockers.
