"what the hell happened to your eye?!" annie yelled, maybe a little too loud.
"calm down, it doesn't hurt"
annie looked at reiner with an irritated expression.
he just sighed.
"when i came looking for him he was already cornered by some other students. they hit him when i tried to free him of their grips."
annie got furious.
"i will kill th-" she interrupted herself.
"what did you do?" annie looked at reiner again.
"i took him and we rushed to our dorm"
"why didn't you beat the shit out of them? you could have easily taken all of them! and why the hell did you text me 'we arrived at our dorm' instead of telling me what really happened!? reiner!" annie was outraged.
when it came to her close ones she was extremely protective, even though she tends to act like she doesn't care. she really does.
"this dude apparently has some knowledge on first aid. he took care of bert"
"which dude?" annie questioned.
"one of the two who we share our dorm with" berthold spoke up again after some time.
"oh right. do you two get along with them?"
"yeah! i'm glad we didn't get someone like-" berthold elbowed reiner.
"ah. i mean, i'm glad we...i'm glad we get along!" reiner finished with some struggle.
"it's fine. i know my roommate sucks."
berthold looked at reiner. "and they were roommates" he said worried.
"oh my god, they were roommates" the tall blonde responded.
---
it was her first day of class at this fancy university and annie felt already really exhausted. so far she's had chemistry and english, english with both of the boys and chemistry with reiner.
"do you miss your boyfriend?" annie looked over at reiner.
"what the hell? i told you to stop with the jokes. gross."
"don't worry, he'll be here soon. ah, speak of the devil" annie pointed behind reiner where berthold was about to wrap his arms around him. the same moment reiner turned around and berthold fell into his arms, faces really close.
"ah-"
the two stood there like that for a few seconds.
"will you get off me already?" reiner's words contradicted that face of his.
his cheeks and ears were flushed.
"i-i'm sorry" and berthold removed himself from reiner.
after the three exchanged what class waits for them next, annie was a bit unhappy about the fact that she didn't share her next class with either of them.
when she entered the art room she saw a free spot in the back and hurried over. the last thing she wanted to do is fight over a spot so she just made herself comfortable and waited for the teacher.
that spot spoke in her favor, she thought, since it was in the very back. however that thought vanished as soon as her roommate sat next to her.
the girl glared at annie for a second and went back to minding her own business.
you've got to be kidding me.
art class dragged itself like a bubblegum. no matter how hard annie tried to focus, the fact that this girl sat next to her, made her head boil. she could feel her negative aura stick onto her and it made her feel sick.
"i didn't have any good experience when it comes to students picking their own partner. hence, all of you work together with the person next to you."
what?
"do the work in each other's rooms, in the caf, in the bathroom. i don't really care as long as the project is done by thursday next week."
the teacher snapped shut the classbook.
"deal with it" she smiled and dismissed the class.
annie leaned back and sighed.
"hey" she looked over to mikasa who just glared back in response.
"which project? i didn't pay any attention"
mikasa collected her stuff and swung her bag around her shoulder.
"neither did i" and she was gone already.
with a sigh annie also left the art room.
---
the two have been sitting in their dorms for two hours now. annie was trying to focus on painting while mikasa was talking to eren on the phone. she would be lying if she said it didn't annoy the heck out of her.
"you're so focused on exchanging your thoughts with your boyfriend, you might as well ask him what's the task for art."
mikasa removed her phone from her ear.
"how the fuck would he know? he doesn't even have art" mikasa replied.
"well, then find out another way. we need to get this started"
mikasa raised an eyebrow.
"excuse me? how about you find out?" annie started to piss her off.
"how am i supposed to find out? i don't know anyone"
"then crawl up that teacher's ass and ask her!"
"why the fuck are you always in a mood?!"
mikasa looked at annie without saying anything. she put the phone back to her ear.
"eren, i'll call you back later" and she threw her phone onto her bed.
slowly she approached annie's desk. she slammed her hand on the surface and closed up to annie's face.
"it's because that annoying ass face of yours pisses me off"
annie swallowed.
"what the fuck did i do to you?" she said, showing no sign of fear.
"oh, you did nothing. it's simply that i can't stand you for shit" mikasa grinned.
"nice to see we feel the same" annie shoved her away. "but we still need to get that project done. i don't intend to get a bad grade just because my useless partner is a lazy ass"
mikasa was seemingly annoyed by the way annie spoke to her. she tried to suppress the urge to beat the shit out of the blonde and went back to her bed.
now i'm too pissed to talk to eren.
annie was just as pissed and the thought that she'll have to share this room with that girl for a really long time just frustrated her even more.
