"... And that is why in class you should be cleaning your dorm rooms at least five times a week," Professor Ackerman said in his lecture hall that was filled with multiple stunned faces of his college students.

"But sir, don't you think that's a bit overboard-" Eren tried to say but was cut off by the professor.

"Shut up, Yeager."

"Yes, sir."

I chuckled into my palm as Eren shut down from beside me; his body slumped back in his seat and his face fell in both embarrassment and quiet shock.

"Oi, Y/n, no laughing!" The tiny man yelled as he noticed my shaking shoulders from trying to conceal my laughter.

I took a deep breath and nodded with a straight face, saying, "Yes sir." Now it was Yeager's time to smirk at me as I shot him a sideways glare from my seat.  "Not a word from you," I muttered while discretely poking my finger at the young man.

Eren only held up his hands in mock innocence, his green eyes shining with mischief. I rolled my eyes and went back to listening to Professor Ackerman rant about cleaning tips for the new year and the twenty-seven (yes twenty-seven) ways to remove a stain from basically anything.

The only reason why the straight-faced man was even talking about all of this was because we had five minutes of class left, our work and learning already done for the day, so I guess this was better than striking up a conversation with Mr. Hothead beside me.

Well, I guess I shouldn't call him that right now, I've only ever heard stories of how the infamous Eren Yeager will flip like a switch and threaten to drown a baby if it stole his candy; and according to a sly-faced Jean, that actually has happened before.

Another minute two passed as the room sat in silence as we listened to Professor Ackerman, besides from the few remarks from students on his "teachings", then finally the short man looked up at the clock to see it was three and dismissed us.

All the students went to file out of the room at a fast pace, excited to be done for the day with classes and anticipating for the weekend that would come after tomorrow, but we were all stopped when Professor Ackerman held up his megaphone and yelled at us.

"Hey, you brats! Remember to sanitize your seats before leaving!" He spoke loudly into the small funnel-shaped device.

"What? Why should we-"

"Shut up, Yeager."

"Yes, sir."

It took all that was in me not to burst out laughing at the now normal reaction from the professor whenever Eren spoke his mind in the room.

After a few moments of sanitizing our seats with the wipes the dark-haired professor gave us on the first day, we were all set to go and enjoy the rest of our day.

The familiar sound of lively chatter in the large hallways that had a wall on one side and the open air on the other side met us as Eren and I walked out of the lecture room.

We passed the sides of pillars and brick walls as we made our way towards the dorm rooms, but after Eren received a phone call from Armin, making him dart off without so much as saying goodbye to me, I was left all alone in the sea of students.

Well, I was alone until I was approached by a redhead that had a weird-ass smirk on his face.

The boy's eyes held mine as he shuffled by people in the crowd, but hoping he had mistaken me for someone else and not wanting to socialize with him to be honest, I turned to go the other way.
