"Alright everybody, this school will be having an event where you are able to sign up and join clubs and sports. It's required for everyone to go there and at least join one club or sport to make up your enrichment credit so that you are able to move on to the next grade." Mr. Hannes announces to the class.
Everyone seemed excited and curious on what this school had to offer when it comes to clubs and sports.
"I know I am signing up for cheerleading. What are you going to sign up for Eren?" Krista asked to Eren, to which Eren responded with a shrug. "Aw come on, there has to be something you gotta look forward to." Eren once again shrugs and Krista then slaps her hand on her forehead. "What I am going to do with you Eren…"
The bell rang and everyone got up and went to their first class. Class seem to be going smoothly for Eren, but unknown to him, Jean was staring daggers at him each class they have together. He could never forget their fight as it was the first time someone stood up to him and he didn't like not one bit. Jean swore to get back at Yeager for what he has done by not only messing up his face but also messing up his "fun" with Armin.
When it was finally lunch time, Eren finally gotten his lunch on his tray. He looked around to see Krista seating at their usual spot and as Eren headed over to their spot, a fist connected with his cheek. Eren fell to the ground, some people saw what happened and gasped. Eren rubbed his cheek and looked up to his who his attacker was, it was none other than Jean
"This should teach not to mess with me." Jean said with a grin on his face that made Eren's blood run hot.
"Why you son of a bitch!" Eren ran at Jean and they went at it, blows for blows. Everyone circled around them chanting "fight, fight, fight, fight!"
Krista tried to yell at them to stop fighting, but her voice wasn't heard over the people chanting.
"Should we try to do something?" Armin asked Mikasa and Marco nervously watching the fight unfold. They both nodded, but before they could do something they heard some yell out "Oy brats!" Eren and Jean stop fighting and looked on who was calling them brats, but before they could have that chance, Eren was thrown off from Jean and into the walls creating and loud thud. While Jean's leg was swept over by a broom, and a foot being on top of his chest to make sure he doesn't move from his spot.
The one to stop the fight wasn't a teacher, but a janitor of all people. Everyone stood quite while looking at the two defeated fighters.
"Tch what is everyone looking at? Get back to eating your damn lunch." The janitor gave them told them while glaring at them. Everyone went back to their lunch immediately.
"Oy, you two come with me." Say the janitor as he walked away. Eren and Jean followed him without question. They stopped at the empty hallway, the janitor turned around and gave them the most terrifying look they have seen. If looks could kill.
"That little fight you did back there was beyond stupid and for that you are going to clean the entire cafeteria as punishment as soon as you get out of advisory."
"But he started it!" Eren and Jean exclaimed and pointed at each other.
"I don't care who started it. You engaged into a fight and now you pay the consequence." The janitor began to walk away.
"Right… we'll try not to let it happen again sir." Jean and Eren said in union.
"Don't call me sir. The name is Levi." And just like that Levi walked off leaving Jean and Eren alone.
"This is all your fault." Jean said with Eren giving Jean a 'you gotta to be kidding me look.'
"My fault?! You started it!"
"I was just trying to end something you started to begin with."
"I started it because you were picking on Armin!"
"So."
Before Eren could respond, the bell rang and they went their separate ways with them both giving the middle finger to each other without them noticing. Eren went on with the rest of his class absolutely pissed. When afternoon advisory began Eren was still pissed and wasn't looking forward to his punishment.
"Eren what the heck happened with you and Jean? Did that janitor put you both in the principal's office?" Krista asked with a worried look on her face.
"No, he punished us by having me and Jean have to clean the whole cafeteria after advisory."
"But you're going to miss the club and sports event after advisory. If you miss it then you're going to get in trouble with Mr. Hannes."
"Crap I forgot about that… I guess I'll have to be fast cleaning then if I am going to that event and signing up for something…"
As soon as the bell rang, Eren rushed out of advisory and went to the cafeteria. When he entered the cafeteria, he sees Levi already with cleaning equipment.
"Eren Yeager reporting for cleaning duty sir." Eren saluted Levi.
Levi ignored it and gave him the cleaning equipment. "Better see this place spotless when I come back. Tell the other brat the same thing." Levi said leaving the cafeteria. Three minutes later, Jean showed up only seeing Eren cleaning. Jean saw this as opportunity to leave, but Eren saw this.
"Hold now. You better clean with me or if Levi sees you not here cleaning, I am sure he is going to hunt you down."
Jean wanted to protest, but knew he was right. Though he won't say it out loud. It took them almost 50 minutes to clean the whole cafeteria. Levi entered and looked at the room. He seems satisfied with the results, but he doesn't show it.
"You can leave. But if I catch you fighting again, I'll make sure you're cleaning the whole school. Do I make myself clear?"
They both nodded.
"Get out of my sight now."
Eren and Jean didn't need to be told twice. Jean seem to leave for home while Eren went into the gym stadium where the event is being held. When he entered, there were a few students left. He looked around clubs and sports that at least interested him, but two problems showed up each time. There were a few that interested him and when he was fully invented in a club or sport, the spots are all full. He gives up, he rather get trouble with Mr. Hannes than deal with this now.
"It seems like you're having troubled." A voice behind Eren was telling him. When Eren turned around, he had to look up a bit. A short blonde haired, hazel eye, and with a body builder look was looking at Eren.
"I guess you can say that. It seems that there aren't many interesting clubs or sports. And when I do seem interested, they all filled out."
"Well what are you interested in?"
"Mostly things that involve atheist."
"There is cross country, spots are still open. It's not much, but better than nothing in my opinion."
"I guess I have no choice since I have to pick something, and I guess you're right. Thanks."
"It's no problem. By the way the names Reiner Braun." Reiner sticks out his hand to Eren.
Eren took his hand and shook it. "Eren Yeager."
'Man, Reiner has a really firm hand shake.' Eren thought to himself.
"Well Eren nice meeting you"
"Same goes for you." Eren said while walking towards the cross-country table.
"Hey Reiner, who were you talking to?" A 6 foot 3 inches slender, dark haired young man approach Reiner.
"Someone who was looking for help. Did you find what you were looking for Bertolt?"
Bertolt nodded. "Good. Let's head out." Both walking out of the gym stadium.
As Eren approached the cross-country table he was greeted by one person with a name tag that read Mina Carolina.
"Hello there, you've come to see and hopefully join Shiganshina's Cross Country team?" Mina asked him.
"Yes." Eren responded looking at pictures of previous team running with each other and against other teams.
"Well we usually have a 3-mile run very two months going against other schools. As we wait for those races, we must practice by running in a group after school. The group usually meet three days a week; Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. It's really fun, I recommend you should join."
'I mean I have no other choice...' Eren thought.
"Well, count me in." Eren said as he signed his name on the paper list. He noticed that the list only had six people. Out of all the six people he only knows one of them: it was Mikasa Ackerman.
'This is interesting. Didn't think she would join or be interested in joining in the first place.' Eren thought as he finishes signing his name.
"Great. Our first meeting would be next week on Monday after school. We are meeting at room 104."
"Funny that's my advisory room."
"Really? Is Mr. Hannes your advisor?"
Eren nodded.
"Well considered yourself lucky since your advisor is also the one supervising the team."
Eren's eyes widen.
"Well you should practice during the weekend so that way you don't get too exhausted on our first practice run. See you Monday." Mina smile as she waved as Eren waved back walking away.
'Well looks like I'm jogging Saturday and Sunday. Not my usually thing but hey better than be exhausted on the first meet. Yep, this should get interesting.' Eren thought, walking home, as the sun began to set.
