My alarm clock rings. I open my eyes, then close them again and turn my alarm clock off. Five minutes later I'm eating breakfast at the table. Just like yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that... Every day has been the same since my parents died. But I can always live for the hope that today will be different.

*Timeskip*

I have science. Time to listen to some eyebrows guy talking about atoms for an hour I guess. I walk into class only just on time, and on the way in I bump into some random kid. He tries to look up at me, then realizes I'm shorter than him and looks back down.

"S-sorry I- I didn't see you there!" The kid stutters.

" Watch it brat. Don't get in peoples way" I say rudely.

I walk into class and sit in my seat in the middle of the back. I see the kid that bumped into me still in the doorway. Come to think of it, I've never seen this guy before. I guess he transferred. Well, that brat doesn't look problematic. I have no reason to interact with him.

"Class, may I get your attention?" Said Erwin. That eyebrows guy.

the class takes a few moments but goes silent.

"This is our new transfer student, Eren. Eren, would you like to introduce yourself?"

Eren looked a little surprised. Dumbass, wasn't he expecting to have to introduce himself? Whatever. I started doodling in my notebook.

"Uhh, I..." Eren mumbled something unclearly.

Erwin noticed he had nothing to say and saved him from embarrassment. "Eren, go sit over there by Annie and Levi at the back! If you have any questions later feel free to ask."

"O-okay.." Said Eren. I noticed he was actually pretty handsome while he walked to his seat. I mean, how could anyone resist such pretty, amber eyes? I realize I'm staring at him when the bell rings. Wow, first period is over already? I cant believe I looked at that brat for half an hour straight.

I was about to take my books out for the next lesson, but then our homeroom teacher came in and said she had an announcement. She said we were getting lockers, bla bla bla. Then she said that because there is an extra class this year in our grade for some reason, we have to share lockers. What!? Why?? Goddammit I have to share a space with some dirty little student. She said we have to pair up with the person sitting next to us. So that means... Great, I'm with the brat. He looked at me and gave me a small smile. Huh? What was that feeling just now when he smiled.. Did I almost just smile back?

I stayed in class last once school was over. I headed over to me and the brats locker to dump my stuff. That thing better be clean... I went and opened the locker. Weird, the brat hadn't put his stuff in. I was putting my stuff into the locker and jumped when I heard a loud thump on my left.

"Oww-..." It was Eren. Brat. I meant Brat. He had slipped and fell on the floor. Pathetic.

" I said watch it.. " I said, but not as seriously as I meant to.

I considered helping him up, but decided not to. I turned back to the locker.

"Hehe..." Said Eren getting up. Huh, he was stuttering less now.

"Heyy... I was just, uhmm, wondering if maybe you-"

"Get on with it."

" Uhmm, do you wanna do the science project together..? "

"Sure." I answered automatically.

" Wait- there was a project? " shit, I wasn't listening during the lesson.

"Yeah... So.. Uh, here!" He says, handing me a piece of paper with a phone number.

"Text me when you want to meet up!" He said . Wait-- there it was... That feeling again... Ugh, I don't know why I'm feeling this, this is just weird- .. Well, when I don't have an answer there's only one thing left to do...
