Ways to get kicked out of the scouting regimen

Part 3

I will not tell Petra that Levi loves her.

"Oi! Petra!"

Petra turned around at the call of her name, a stack of papers in her hands. A blush spread across her face as she recognized the person coming toward her. Levi. "L-Levi! What is it?" She asked as he reached her. She was trying to sound calm, but it wasn't working very well. "Is that my paperwork?" Levi asked, pointing to the stack of papers she held. Unbeknownst to the two, Ymir stood just around a corner of the hallway, studying Petra's face. 'She's blushing like crazy...' Ymir thought, an evil smile on her face. 'She's totally into him.' As soon as Levi had been handed his paperwork and had headed out of the hallway, Ymir headed out to do her dirty work. Petra stood in the hallway, her hands over her heart. She took several deep breaths to calm herself down, but almost stopped breathing when she felt a hand touch her shoulder. Ymir clamped her hand over Petra's mouth to keep her from screaming. "Calm down. It's just me." Ymir said, turning Petra to face her. "Listen, I know about your feelings for Levi." She forced a concerned and knowing look onto her face. "I just wanted to tell you… he feels the same way. He's always just been…" Ymir paused, almost about to laugh. "…He's always just been too… scared to tell you." A smile almost forced it's way onto Ymir's lips. Levi, too scared to confess to a crush. But what amused her the most was that Petra seemed to suck it up like a Hoover. The blonde's blue eyes had widened to the size of saucers, and her hands were clasped excitedly over her heart. "Really?" Petra asked, bouncing on the balls of her feet. "Yep! Really." Ymir smiled as Petra sent her a rushed "Thank you!" and ran off to her room. This was going to be absolutely golden.

The word spread like wildfire. Levi had a crush? On Petra? Were they together? Who found out? When did it start? It was about three o'clock, a few days after Ymir had leaked 'Levi's secret", and everyone was out on the training field when it happened. One thought struck them all as they heard that bloodcurdling scream come from the building. The word had reached Levi. Who had told him? Everyone instantly fell into perfect lines and saluted as a disheveled Levi stomped out, seething with anger. Ymir couldn't help the smirk on her face as soon as she saw him. She knew she was royally screwed as soon as Levi's eyes landed on her. "Was it you? Was it you who told that goddamn lie?" He asked as he walked toward her, glaring into her soul. A small snort escaped Ymir. She didn't mean for it to happen, but seeing him look so distressed only made her day better. "You're laughing? Do you think this is funny? You won't think it's funny when you're running 500 laps around this field!" He shouted, his eyes blazing with anger. Ymir only laughed harder. She couldn't stop. She was still laughing on her way around the field.

"So it was all a lie?" Eren asked Connie. They were all at dinner, and could see Ymir outside, laughing her way around the field. "Apparently. What lap is she on now?" Connie replied, leaning his head on his hand. "Should be at least 400. So how did Petra react to that?"

"She's in her room, crying, I think."

They both went back to watching Ymir. It was actually mildly entertaining.
