Chapter Five: Your Friendly Neighbourhood Levi, The Volunteer

"Reiner actually said all that?" Clyde growled. His hands curled into fists. "I'll kill that bastard!"

You flinched at his wording.

Bonnie swatted her brother on the back of the head. "You need to calm down a bit. So, Reiner was an ass. What else is new? He didn't hurt you, did he?"

You shook your head. "No, thanks to Connie and Sasha."

"Those two did something nice?" Clyde asked, raising a brow.

You shrugged. "Connie's a nice person, he just doesn't think before he speaks. His heart's in the right place. Sasha just doesn't do well with people in general. She didn't even want to socialize with other human beings besides her family anyway, much less actually go to school. She's better around her friends, but I'm not sure I happen to be one of those anymore."

Bonnie smiled. "You're starting to accept this. I'm glad. That's the last stage of guilt."

From behind her, Clyde imitated her silently, mouthing her words and making you snort. Bonnie was incredibly confused as Clyde continued to do this for the rest of the walk. Bonnie rambled about how proud she was of you. Whenever you laughed, Clyde's whole world got brighter while Bonnie felt a sense of pride at being able to make you smile. You loved both of them dearly, you really did. Bonnie kept you both in check and if anyone touched you, they got their ass kicked into next week. Clyde was the comic relief of the group and tried to make you smile in every way possible. He was very protective of you two, yes even Bonnie though he never acts like it. You got to school just as the bell rang. You said your goodbyes as you went over to your locker. Oddly enough, Marco was there alone and looking quite upset. You paused opening your locker midway to listen to him mumble to himself.

"Should've never agreed to this..... She'll get hurt, I don't want her to hurt..... I'll kill them for this..."

"That's a bit aggressive, don't you think?" you blurted. You quickly covered your mouth, embarrassed that what you thought you were thinking, you were actually saying.

Marco froze and looked over to you, eyes wide. "You heard all that?"

"Just a little bit. You good?"

Marco hastily nodded, looking around at each person as they passed us. "I'm okay. Perfectly fine."

"Are you sure about that?" you were skeptical of his behaviour. He was obviously not okay, you could tell that just by his body language alone. "Maybe you should talk to Jean. I'm sure that if he knew you were upset he'd try and help."

"Say, (y/n), don't you have somewhere you should be getting to? Like class perhaps?" Marco asked sarcastically, though his tone sounded stressed.

You furrowed your brows. "Well, geez. You don't have to say it like that."

"Well, it shouldn't matter since we're not friends."

You sighed, grabbed your books and closed your locker door shut before storming off to your next class. Marco glanced back at you, trying to hold back his urge to run after you and apologize. What Marco said hurt a lot more than it probably should have. At least Armin and Eren seemed to like you. When you entered your English class, said green-eyed boy waved to you.

"Sasha told me about what went down between you and Reiner yesterday, Sorry about that." he apologized as you sat down.

"Do you guys tell each other everything?"

Eren shrugged. "Nah, I'm not actually sure why she told me."

Suddenly, Mr. Martzer tapped you on the shoulder. He was wearing his usual suit and tie, but something about him seemed different. Maybe it was the cautious look on his face when he approached you. "(y/n), Mr. Wanderstock would like to see you after lunch today, okay?"
