"For this project you'll have a partner-" Ms. Zoë was cut off by whispers of the students already picking their partner for the project, "Don't worry, I've already paired you up so you don't need to go through the trouble of all that!" She smiled. Everyone groaned. She pulled out her list and began to read off the partners.
Annie Leonhardt sat in the back of the room staring at the clock not listening at all, all she knew was thag in 10 more minutes they'd be out of
"Marco and Jean, Eren and Armin, Annie and Mikasa-" Annie's thoughts were cut off by the sound of her name followed my Mikasa Ackerman's.'"What?!"Mikasa exclaimed loudly, "Sorry." She quickly apologized.
Mikasa, who was, as always, sitting next to Eren, turned around in her seat to see Annie just glaring at her. It looked like she didn't want to work with her as much as she did.
After a while of the two glaring at each other, Annie turned back to looking at the clock. It took Mikasa a minute and Eren for her to turn back around.
When the class was over everyone got up and existed the room. Annie was the last one out the door. Mikasa stayed behind to talk to her teacher. She walked up to her almost frantically, "I can't work with Annie." She got straight to the point, "Have you seen the way she treats Eren? How do you expect me to work with her?"
Hanji looked up from her computer, "Mikasa, you'll work fine together. You're both great writers. That's why I put you two together." She smiled and looked back at the computer and started typing. That was completely untrue. Annie was a lazy writer, Mikasa would be the only one doing any actual work. Annie would just doodle the whole time.
Mikasa sighed and looked down at the desk. She noticed the paper that had the partners on them. It wasn't too weird...except some of the pairings had hearts next to them.
She furrowed her brown in confusion, "Weird question but...did you pick some of these partners based on who you think would look cute as a couple?" She regretted as soon as she said it. She bit her lip hoping he hasn't heard her or wasn't paying attention.
"Some of them. Why do you ask?" She glanced at her desk seeing the paper was out on the open. She quickly picked up the paper and put it in her drawer. When she did Mikasa caught a glimps at a heart next to the names Ackerman and Leomhardt.
'Nopenopenopenope.' She thought, "Well that was all I wanted to ask I guess I'm stuck with her okaybye." Mikasa said quickly. She didn't know wheatear she said it quickly because she was angry or creeped out that their teacher shipped them. She left the room not wanting to be there another second.

Mikasa walked into the very crowded and loud cafeteria, scanning the area for Eren. When she spotted him she made her way over to her dork of a brother.
Eren was making his way to a table with Sasha, Connie, Armin, and a few other of his friends. Annie walked past him and bumped into him, "Ech, watch where you're going!" She growled walking away.
Eren glared at her as she walked away. Mikasa caught up with Eren and sat at the table. "I officially cannot stand Annie." He said sitting down next to Mikasa. "Same." Most everyone said together. Reiner was the only one who didn't say it.
"I have to be partners with her in English." Mikasa grumbled, "I don't think I'll survive." She slammed we head on the table.
"Lucky! I wish I had gotten paired with her." Reiner looked around the cafeteria for her. Mikasa raised an eyebrow, "Really? Who'd you get? I'll trade you." He said covering her head with her arms, "This next week is going to e torture." She whined.
"She's probably going to have to come over to our house too and I honestly don't want that." Eren rested his head on hand.
"No, no, no! She can't." Mikasa's head shot up. You could hear Jean laughing to himself from the text table.
