Eren ran past the classrooms flustered, the bell for class had rung at least 10 minutes ago and he still had no idea where he was supposed to be going. Mikasa, his new stepsister had told him his classroom number, 302, or was it 203. Eren couldn’t remember and it was stressing him a lot. What luck he had, being late on his first day. He finally stopped in front of the door marked 302, knocked and opened the door stepping inside the room. A number of faces looked up at him, faces that looked a few years older than he did.
“Can I help you?” The teacher standing at the front of the class asked. His tone was firm and posture strict.
“Sorry, is this Biology class?” Eren asked, even though he could plainly see that it was not.
“Does this look like biology to you brat?” Eren peered up at the boy, his jet-black hair messily obstructing his dark grey eyes as he starred at Eren a bored expression resting upon his features. This triggered a giggle through the classroom. Eren could feel his cheeks becoming red. A girl, covering her smiling mouth slightly stood up and walked over to Eren. Her blonde hair swished a little as she came to a pause.
“Show me your time table?” she prompted, holing out her hand for the piece of paper. He passed it to her hesitantly.
“Oh, okay, I see what’s happened. This is 302B; you need to be in 302A. First day huh?” Eren nodded. “What grade are you in?”
“10th “ Eren replied quietly.
“Okay, well to get to 302A you’ll need to go down the hall and turn right, first door to your left, it’ll have the room number above the door. I’m Petra, just come find me if you need any help, I’m in 12th I know my way around” she explained.
“Thank you… Petra.” Eren said sheepishly.
“Anytime…” she paused.
“Eren.” He filled in for her.
“Anytime Eren,” she smiled. Just before he turned away he caught a glimpse of the black haired, grey-eyed boy again and he was staring right at him.
Eren finally made it to biology class, a very pathetic 20 minutes late.
“Class this is Eren Jaeger, he’s new here and we would like if someone would take up the opportunity to show him around.” One hand shot up in the sea of bodies.
“Okay Arlert,” the teacher sighed, out of defeat or relief he didn’t know.
“Hi Eren, I’m Armin, we met at your father’s wedding. I’m family friends with Mikasa and her Mum,” the short blond boy said coming up to Eren.
“That’s right, how are you Armin?”
“Good, how’s the first day going?” he asked Eren.
“Okay I guess, better now that I at least know one face.” Armin smiled at Eren. They continued the tour of the school, Armin pointing out the places of importance to Eren. Soon enough the bell for recess rang, their tour had lasted 2 periods.
“Did you want to come and have recess with my friends and I?” Armin asked, Eren didn’t say anything for a little while, “No of course you’ll be eating with Mikasa won’t you-“
“No, no, that’d be great, I’d like to come have recess with you and your friends.”
“Okay cool, awesome.” The two of them walked over to a table under a tree, three people were already sitting there.
“Guys, this is Eren, Mikasa’s new step brother. Eren, this is Sasha, Krista and Connie.” The small group of people offered a small greeting as Armin and Eren sat down. “Where are Jean, Marco and Ymir?” The boy, Connie shrugged.
