I just keep moving forward

Chapter 8: David Vs Goliath

Eren POV:

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP- BEEP. BEEP. BEEP- SLAM.

It was 8am and time to get ready for school. I lifted myself out of my bed although I didn't want to. The black sheets called me to come back but I had to rebel and get ready

I wipe my eyes and realise I need to do something about my hair, I look like a peacock. I scoop a bit of this cream, wax stuff the barber gave me and- damn I'm a sexy mofo, I think to myself as I wink at my reflection in the mirror

Then a thought hits me that completely annihilates any confidence I had previously

I'm meant to be fighting Bertholdt today- fuck, fuck, FUCK!

I'm not ready for this, he's literally like- I don't know, Godzilla or some shit, it hurts my neck trying to make eye contact with him

Big ass tree

As I feel myself shake, I wonder if the fear of today has actually given me Parkinson's

I start to think more rationally and decide to wear my trainers and leave my jumper at home so I can be as unrestricted and athletic as possible

I also look across from my bedroom to see Mikasa's room. She's not in there so I don't have to fear a beating for trespassing

Eren: "Where is it?"

After 2 minutes of searching

Eren: "Grrrrrr"

Another two minutes of frantic searching and growling

Eren: "Got it, that's it!"

Mikasa's knuckle dusters

I didn't question the high level of suspicion coming from the fact that an 11 year old girl owns knuckle dusters and just picked them up and put them in my pocket

These will be a last resort as they're technically weapons, one for my left and one for my right

I walk down the stairs and past the window that practically blinds me and I hiss like a vampire

I eat my shreddies as slow as possible in the hope that I can somehow slow down time

Mikasa: "Eren hurry up, the bus is going to get here in like, 10 minutes" (here's clear panic in her voice)

Eren: "... Yeh, I'll be dwone now jusht letch me eatch"

Mikasa: "You're so gross"

Eren: "grrrrr"

Mikasa POV:

I can't believe I have to mother him so much, its a pain that Carla and Grisha work so early

Maybe if I show how much I care, he'll return my lov- I mean friendship, yeah friends, bestest friends

My heart pangs at the thought of Eren holding my hand- No, bad Mikasa, you're the night, stealth itself. You ain't got no time for boys

As he stands up I see him slightly shaking and he kind of looks nervous but I shrug it off as I assume he's just anxious incase he misses the bus

20 minute timeskip

Eren POV:

SLAM. I felt my whole body get catapulted to the floor. I felt like my eyes had fallen into the back of my skull

I felt like I was just hit by a freight train made of hate

A hate train.

I will never feel happiness again and I think I'm leaking spinal fluid
