A/N: This first chapter is mostly an intro to the two protagonists' lives so far and also a setup for the rest of things I have in mind. It might get a bit boring but it gets better. Enjoy.

"So here we are Mikasa. This is our new home." Mikasa stepped in as her brother spoke. She looked around in amazement, analyzing every corner of the living room. "This is the beginning of a fresh new start." He said

'A new start huh?' The ebony girl thought to herself. A new start was all she wished for. She wanted to leave the past behind her. She wanted to leave all those years of getting bullied behind ger. She wanted her last year of high school to be special. Fun. Something that would bring her happiness whenever she thought about.

She was in for a surprise.

She walked into her room unpacked the few things that she had (books clothes ect.) and jumped into her bed.

'I wonder how it'll be at my new school... I hope I don't get bullied again. Maybe I can even make a few friends...'

"World to Mikasa, are you there?" A low voice said bringing her back to the world of the living.

"Shut up Levi." She said with a chuckle. She and her brother had gotten really close since their parents death, only having each other, and caring for one another. "Let me guess, the cleaning maniac inside of you can't stand this place not being cleaned so you will spend the next 2 hours of your life cleaning?"

"Pretty much." Levi replied and both started laughing. "Ok I'm going to explore the neighborhood then, see ya later." Mikasa said and with that, she grabbed her phone, put on her favorite hoodie, and left the house.

Right as she got out the first thing that caught her attention was the loud sound of vehicle coming her way. 'A moving track?' She thought 'someone else moving in the neighborhood?'

She then looked around until she spotted a dark blue BMW parking, and two people coming out. The first was a male man with blonde hair, beard, wearing glasses about 30 years old. The second was a teen, with brown hair dragged back in a bun. The two locked eyes for a second until she looked away with a slight blush. 'He is kind of hot' she thought. 'Wait what the frick Mikasa hold yourself'

~the next day~

Mikasa got ready for her first day at her new school. She wore a black hoodie with white details, black teared jeans and her red shoes, and took off for school. She would go on foot since the school wasn't far away from her house.

Upon arriving she looked around for the principal's office, but soon enough realises that she had been going in circles all along. "Need help finding something?" A girl from behind her said while approaching her. "You are new here right? Here, let me show you to the principal's office. Oh, by the way my name is Sasha." The girl said with a wide smile plastered on her face. "O-Oh thanks... I'm Mikasa" She said shyly.

She thanked the girl, who then left to go to her class, and entered the room.

"Perfect timing miss Ackerman. My name is Erwin Smith and I'm the principal. This here is Eren Jaeger. He is also new here. Both of you are on the same class, class 3a, that is." The principal said as he handed them a piece of paper with their time schedule. The two teens left the office and were on the way to class.

"Hey you are the guy who moved next to my house right?" "Yeah... My name is Eren." the brunette said reaching out his hand. "Mikasa" she said and smiled as she shook it. Eren also had a small smile on his face.

The two made it to class and sat together on a table at the back of the classroom, the one next to the window. Everyone else entered the class looking at them and muttering. A certain group of people approached the two.

"Hey there Mikasa! These are my friends, Connie, Historia, Ymir, Annie, Jean, and Armin."

Everyone greeted and then Mikasa said "This is Eren, he moved next to me yesterday, we are both new." "Sup" He said moving his head up and down slightly before returning to looking out of the window. "You two wanna join us after school? We'll hang out at the cafeteria and play truth or dare or something."

"Sure." Mikasa said thinking how lucky she was that she could make friends so easily. "What about you Eren? Will you come?" She asked the brunette. "I guess."

~after school~

"Ok I will go first." Annie said with a bored or unimpressed look. "Ymir, truth or dare?" "Truth." "Are you and Historia a thing?" She asked making the two choke on their drinks. Both blushed madly and looked at each other. "Yes."
"Woah really?? You guys look cute together." Sasha squealed "Can we go to the next one?" Historia asked a bit upset. "Jean truth or dare?" Ymir said making him gulp. "Dare?" He replied hesitantly. "Buy Sasha food for the rest of the day." "You what the fuck im going broke!" He whined "Yeeees Ymir I love you!! Wait no I didn't mean it relax Historia don't look at me like that."

"Eren?" Jean said catching the boy's attention. "Truth or dare?" "Truth." He replied with the same unimpressed look as Annie. "Hmmm... Tell us about something you whished it hadn't been done."

Eren's eyes widened as images flooded in his mind.

'Eren! Get out of here!' 'Mom, dad, noooo!' A twelve year old eren said as he watched his parents being murdered in front of him.

"Hey!" Mikasa shouted bringing him back to reality. "What's wrong?" Eren's look was replaced with that of pure horror and terror. A tear game down his eyes and he wiped it as he said "Don't wanna talk about it with some guys I just met."

"The rules say you have to." Ymir said. "Ymir!" Christa shoutes trying to defend Eren. "Fine, whatever."

A/n; this is the author about a year or so after the story was completed. I have to say that I don't understand how this got so much love, I personally couldn't make it past the first chapter before dying from cringe. I've started posting a new story, with much better plot, pace, language and everything that accompanies the above. If you like this one, I definitely recommend you read the new one, but if you dont, I still recommend reading the new one.
