I made a new story. It's called Cursed. It's a Free! Iwatobi Swim Club one so if you want to read it you can!^^ Reviews are always welcome!

Disclaimer: I don't own Attack on Titan.

A new day has arrived. But the sad thing is it's a Monday which means it's the first day of school for me. All I know is that it is going to suck.

"Wow you walk slow Mickey." said Armin who was way ahead of me.

"Sorry." I apologized to him and tried to catch up to him.

We arrived at Trost High early so Armin can show me around but first we have to go the office to get my schedule and books. 'Woah, the school is bigger inside than the outside.' The inside was huge. The lockers were red, white, and yellow.

"Follow me." ordered Armin. I followed like a little puppy to the office. When we got there, the administrative were hard at work already. Armin grabs my wrist and drags me towards one of the workers.

"May I help you?" The lady asked in a monotone voice.

"This is Miku…?" Armin starts to introduce me but he forgets my last name.

"Stevens, Miku Stevens." I finished. She types away on the key board.

"New student huh?" she says with a stoic look. She prints out some papers and gives them to me. "Welcome to Trost High." I thanked her and bowed my head. "Are you going to show her around?" she asked looking at Armin.

"Yes ma'am." He answered politely. She rights something on a little piece of paper and hands it to him.

"This pass will excuse you from class till you are done." She says and returns to her work. We leave the office to go on our little adventure. He takes my schedule to take a look to where my classes are.

"You have Mr. Nanaba first. He's the math teacher here." Armin says not looking up from the paper. He motions me with his head to follow him. After a few minutes, we ended up in front of classroom.

"This is his room." He said.

"What is Ms. Nanaba like?" I asked.

"Well, I never had her but, I heard she's pretty laid back kind of teacher." Then, a high voice calls Armin's name. We turned to the direction of the voice to see a small blonde girl running towards us. She jumps and hugs Armin like they haven't seen each other for a long time.

"Armin, it's good to see you!" she says with a happy voice. She had blue eyes and wore a yellow dress and sandals. She looked a little familiar to me but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Krista calm down it's only been a few days since we last saw him." said a deeper voice. A really buff boy walks over to us. He wore a gray zip-up jacket and blue jeans.

"Reiner, don't be like that." Krista tells him and gets up on her tippy-toes and kisses him on the cheek. He looks familiar too. Then, they both look at me.

"Hey, you look familiar?" Reiner says to me. Krista nods her head in agreement. 'She wraps her arms around Reiner's arm. 'Wow she's short. I wonder if she's taller than Levi.' I wondered.

"This is Mickey. She's staying with my family for the time being." Armin answers.

"Really? Why?" Krista asks.

"It's a long story." Armin says as if he is trying to avoid the subject. Taking the hint, Reiner reaches his hand towards me.

"I'm Reiner Braun and this is my girlfriend Krista Lenz." He said kindly. I hesitantly take his hand and both shake our hands.

"I am Mickey Stevens." I said softly as I bowed my head.

"If you have questions, you can ask us." Krista says with a smile. Reiner grunts in agreement. I thanked them for the offer.

"So are you showing her around?" Reiner asks. Armin nods and shows him the schedule.

"Hey, I have the same Biology class as you." He says surprised by the discovery. "Mrs. Zoe is crazy but, she at least knows what she's talking about. I'll help you." We all agreed and went to Mrs. Zoe's room. Then we heard more people call out their names. We all turned and see Marco, Jean, and three other people coming in our direction. One was short and bald boy wearing a brown jacket with the sleeves rolled up. He was holding hands with a tall girl who was eating a hash brown with the other hand. The last one was another girl who was taller and darker than all of them.

"Oh hey it's Mickey!" said Marco.

"'Sup good looking?" said Jean. I hide my disturbance with a smile and greeted him normally.

"So this is the girl you talking about?" asks the very tall girl.

"Yeah, this is Mickey. Mickey this is Ymir." said Marco.

"Nice to meet you." She said as she sticks her hand. I took her hand and shake it.

"Nice to meet you, too." I said.

"And I'm Connie and this is my beautiful, wonderful girlfriend Sasha!" blurts the baldy. I giggle at his remark.

"Nice to meet you guys too. I'm Mickey." They both smile at me with kindness.

"You guys are loud in the morning." said a monotone voice. Two more girls walk towards us. One was blonde with blue eyes and the other was a black haired girl with dark eyes.

"A-Annie!" Armin says as he turns red. He turns his face away. The two girls walk up towards the group with very emotionless faces.

""Mikasa and Annie this is Mickey. She is starting school with us today. Mickey, this Annie and Mikasa." Marco introduces me.

"It's nice to meet you." I said very meekly and raise my shaking hand. 'These girls are kind of scary.' Mikasa takes my hand and smiles a little at me. Annie nods her head and goes towards Armin.

"It's nice to meet you too." Mikasa said and shakes my hand. 'Never mind then.'

"Mikasa is the girl I told you about. She's Asian." Marco says to me.

"Cool." Mikasa says coolly then, she bows to me. I also bow to her.

"Where's the asshole?" ask Jean. 'Asshole?'

"He'll be here soon." Mikasa answers roughly.

"Damn, I wanted to kick his ass today! He pulled that shitty prank on me the other day! It's payback time!" Jean shouts as he balls his hands into fists. 'Oh dear.' Then, Jean gets tackled to the ground. As I looked at the guy who tackled him, I notice that he looks familiar.

"What did you say?" asks the guy in a deep, irritated voice. As I heard the voice, I hit me who it was.

"Eren?" I said. The guy looks up at me and his eyes widen.

Mickey." Eren said.

"You two know each other?" asked Mikasa. Eren nods and gets off of Jean.

"I meet her a few days ago." Eren says memorized by something. 'Is he staring at me? Is there something on my face?' As Reiner sees this, he gives Eren my schedule.

"Here, take her to her classes." He said.

"What?"

"And take this too." Armin says as he gives Eren his pass. "The lady didn't right my name so it's okay." Then everyone pushes each other, leaving us behind. I looked at Eren and he looks at me.

"Well…um… follow me." He says quietly and quickly walks down the hallway with his head in my schedule.

"Hey wait for me!" I said as I tried to catch up to him. After that, he shows me to my classrooms till the bell rung. He shoves the schedule into my hands and quickly leaves.

"Thanks!" I shouted. He responds by waving his hand. Then, I went to my first class.

Three Hours Later…

'Finally lunch! I'm starving!' I thought as I rush to lunch. I entered the cafeteria to see many, many students there. The cafeteria was huge. The line was really long so there was no way I can get my lunch on time. Thank God, I had brought lunch. Then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I gasped and turned quickly to see who it was.

"Woah, hey, calm down. It's only me." said Reiner. "Come sit with us." He said as he pulls my arm. He drags me to the table in the middle of the cafeteria. Everyone was there, waiting for him.

"Hey Reiner. Oh, you found Mickey!" said Krista. She pulls me down to sit next her.

"Mickey, this is our friend Bertholdt." She says as she points to a really tall boy in front of me. He smiles but doesn't say anything.

"Sorry, Bertholdt doesn't really talk." She said as she eats her salad. I looked at Bertholdt to see him staring at Annie who was talking to Armin. I looked at the others at the table. Marco and Jean are in a deep conversation, Connie and Sasha are feeding each other, Ymir was staring at Krista who was hugging her boyfriend's arm. Then,my eye met with Eren across the table. Suddenly, Mikasa elbows him and feeds him some bread. Seeing that I looked away, conflicted about what that was.

"So, where are you from?" Krista asks.

"The other side of Wall Rose."

"That's cool." After that we talked till the end of lunch.

After School…

I walked home with Armin silently. When we got to the café, I see Mrs. Zoe there with her hand in Levi's. 'Wow. I didn't know they were dating.'

"OH! I got to go pick up Annabell!" she shouts and jumps over tables then exits the café. Levi looks at me with a glare he always has.

"What brat? Surprised that I have lady?" he says as he narrows his eyes at me harshly.

"No sir!"

"Hmm." Then, he walks back to the kitchen.

"How does she get here so quickly? School just ended." I asked Armin.

"She doesn't teach for the last period of the day." He answers as he goes towards the back. Then, Petra runs out of the kitchen, heading towards me.

"Mickey! How's school?!" She asks as she pulls me to a table and makes me sit down. I told her everything that happened. She seemed so happy that I made friends on the first day. Then, Armin comes out with an apron and a notebook.

"Working already?" Petra says to Armin. He nods and goes to a table.

"Can I help?" I ask Petra. Petra gives me a look. After a few minutes, she nods with that big smile. I get up and grabbed a pen and note book. Petra gives me a apron so that I look like I work here. Finally, I start to take orders from customers.

After work, dinner, and getting ready for bed I hang out in my room. 'Today has been a good day. No homework, new people… I hope it will be like this every day.' I thought till I fell asleep.
