Don't you love it when the weekend goes by fast and Monday is already here, meaning the beginning of a new school week. Yeah not a lot of students like it neither. Everyone was in advisory not ready for the day start and some are still in weekend mode. Eren was one of those students and he didn't look so hot either. He stayed up until 1 just to finish some left over homework that he may or may not have forgotten to do.

"Geez you look exhausted. Please don't tell me you stood up all night to finish your homework.?!" Krista began to scold him with her hands resting on her hips.

"It wasn't all night. It was just until one and besides I got my half of my homework done Friday and finish the rest on Sunday." Eren said with his head resting on the desk.

Krista slaps her hand on her forehead. "I swear, what am I going to do with you?"

"Relax Krista I got it done, now can we just drop the subject."

"Alright fine, but don't complain to me that you're too tired for your cross country practice today. Which I hope you don't skip out on."

"I won't."

"Good." Krista nodded and looks back to the front as advisory started.

As the first half of the day went on, Eren was in and out of the zone. He shouldn't have done his homework all at the last minute at the middle of the night. He could still hear Krista scolding him in his head. During the lunch period, he was drinking five chocolate milks to help keep him awake.

"Aw man that should help me." Eren commented as he drank the last of the fifth chocolate milk.

Krista shakes her head while eating her sandwich she made at home. She ticks to bringing homemade lunch than school lunch since 95% of the time, it's disgusting to eat.

As Eren gets up to get rid of the cartons of chocolate milk, he sees Mikasa sitting with Armin and Marco. He did say that he would sit and talk to them, so what better opportunity to talk to them than now.

"Hey Krista, you don't mind if we sit somewhere else, do you?" Eren asked as he was standing next to the sitting Krista.

"Where do you have in mind?" Krista began to stand up and grab the rest of her lunch.

"Over there with them." Eren pointed where Mikasa, Armin, and Marco sat at.

She wanted to question him on why she wanted to sit with them now suddenly, but decided to go against it. "Sure."

They walked to table Mikasa, Armin, and Marco was sitting at and sat down near them. The three friends were a bit shocked that Eren and Krista were seating near them.

"Hey, how's it going guys?" Eren said with a grin, which left everyone out of shock in order to answer his question.

"I'm doing great." Marco responded.

"I'm doing great as well." Armin answered while Mikasa answered with a "I am doing fine."

"Sorry for seating here so suddenly, we hope you guys don't mind." Krista says with an apologetic smile.

"We don't mind at all. Right guys?" Marco says and looks at Armin and Mikasa. They both nod.

"Oh right, Marco I almost forgot to tell you about Jean." Armin snapped his finger remembering the last time he was being picked by Jean.

"He was picking on you wasn't he." Marco said in disappointment. He didn't like it when Jean was picking on Armin almost all of the time. Maybe he should have a chat with him the next time he sees him.

"Yes, but Eren saved me from him. They fought and you should of saw. They were really getting into it."

"That explains why Jean and you were fighting last week."

Eren nods with a scornful look on his face. "He was asking for it. He shouldn't be picking on anyone at all. I don't what's his problem. But if he is looking for a fight, then I'll give one to him." Eren said punch his fist into his open hand.

"Well you got in trouble for getting into one when fighting in front of the entire lunch room." Krista added.

"Yeah well I would've won if Levi didn't stop us."

"Levi?" Armin questioned.

"He's the janitor of this school. Scary guy." Eren has chills running down his spine just thinking about him. Mikasa stood quite at the subject of the janitor stopping the fight.

"Well either way, after school I am sure everyone joined a club. What club did you guys joined?" Armin asked changing the subject.

"I joined cheerleading."

"Didn't you say you were in cheerleading when you were in middle school, on our first day of advisory." Armin asked looking at Krista.

"Yep. Glad you remembered." Krista winked at Armin. He began to blush and scratch the back of his neck.

"I joined cross country, along with Mikasa. Isn't that right Mikasa." Eren said looking at Mikasa. She nods with a little smile.

"I joined the chess club." Armin said.

"You like chess?" Eren asked.

"Absolutely." Armin said proudly.

"I played chess a few times with my dad, but I suck at it and always lose to him." Eren looks down dramatically.

"I can teach you if you like?"

"Sure. I would like to show my old man a thing or two once I figure that game out."

Armin chuckles, while Krista shakes her head smiling.

"What did you join Marco?" Krista asked, eyes are now on him.

"I joined the chess club and the anime club." Marco said smiling while scratching one of his freckled cheek.

"They have an anime club?" Armin asked with interest. Marco nodded. "If I had known they had that, then I would have joined it too." Armin snapped his fingers in defeat. The bell rang and everyone stood up and went off to their classes. The day went by slowly and it didn't help that you're in a class you didn't want to be in. Although Mr. Smith's class was always entertaining since he was always passionate about history and always tells his students that they have the right to be informed as citizens about what is happening in what's going on about the world around them. As the school day finally ended, extracurricular actives were just beginning.

Eren and Mikasa were in their advisory room, changed into their running clothes, waiting for the rest of the team to show up and for Mr. Hannes to come back to the room. One by one, those five people showed up then Mr. Hannes entered changed into something suited for running.

"Alright, everyone seems to be here. But before we go out for a practice run, why not we introduce ourselves?" Mr. Hannes tells the small group.

One by one, everyone was introducing themselves. Mina Carolina, Mikasa Ackerman, Eren Yeager, Thomas Wagner, Connie Springer, Hanna, and Franz.

"Alright then, shall we get started?" Mr. Hannes ask with a grin. Everyone smiled back, except Mikasa, and responded with nods or yes. As they headed outside, each person seems to be chatting with each other. Franz and Hanna seem to be too close.

'Geez they should get a room." Eren thought to himself a bit annoyed.

When they were outside, they had to do a few stretches before they ran. When they were ready, everyone seems to be running at their own pace. They even had partners so that way nobody gets left behind. Eren looks around and notice Mikasa was running in the front of the group, leaving almost everyone behind. He speeds up a bit, so he could be side by side with her.

"I see that you're a head of the group." Eren says.

"Yeah." Mikasa says a bit surprised that Eren caught up.

"I mean, you should try to socialize. You know, so that way you could make more friends. Wow I sounded like an asshole… sorry what I meant was…" Eren tried to fix on what he said but Mikasa cut him off.

"I know what you mean. I just don't feel like it. I am happy with the friends I have now."

"Am I one of those friends?"

Mikasa her finger on her chin, looking up at the sky while running. "Let me think about it." Only giving him second. "Of course. As long as you talk to us."

"Fair enough."

"By the way, it seems that you did and you said you would do On Saturday."

"What's that?" Eren looks at her questioning.

"You came and talked to me, Armin, and even Marco."

"Of course. Why wouldn't I?"

"Most people don't think we are normal. A goth girl and two nerdy boys."

"Well, being normal is boring if you ask me."

"You don't say?" Mikasa ask looking at Eren now.

"Yeah." Eren has his thumb up to her and starting to out run her. Mikasa smiles and effortlessly catches up to him.
