' Mikasa quietly exited the school gym, going outside onto the cherry blossom and confetti littered field, silently sobbing. Tears streamed down her pretty, makeup filled face, ruining most of it. The soft moonlight illuminated her pastel, long, and intricate gown she had picked out just for today. She didnt even like the dress, she had just worn it to impress Him. Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her. "Mikasa? Are you alright?" '

----------------------------------<3---------------------------------

It was about three days before prom. Everyone might have been excited, but not Eren. He got up, stretched, and yawned as he got ready just like he would have on any other day. He walked into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and did this weird staring-into-the-mirror thing, leaning on the sink. It was a vital part of his daily routine. He then brushed his teeth, and checked the time. It was already 7:30?! He quickly spit out the toothpaste in his mouth and rushed to fix the mess he called his hair.

There was no time for breakfast, so he put on his shoes in a very rushed manner. He looked like a rabbit, but a rabbit that hopped on one foot struggling to slip its sneakers on. Eren had finally gotten his sneakers on (well sort of), and opened the door still hopping on one foot, and nearly fell face first onto his front porch when he was suddenly caught by someone...

"Eren! You've got to be more careful!" Eren almost tripped again at the sight of this blur of black clothing, lace, and dark makeup also known as Mikasa. She lived next door to him, and he had to admit he had a HUGE crush on her. "You could have seriously hurt yourself!" Mikasa said with a mixture of annoyance, worry, and disappointment on her face. "Sorryyy" Eren said. He was so used to Mikasa worrying for him, that it had started to annoy him a teeny bit, but he still loved her.

Armin, who lived across the street, then exited his house. "Crap! Im gonna be late... I knew I shouldve ironed my socks yesterday night instead of studying!" Eren rolled his eyes. 'Who the hell irons their socks...' He thought to himself. Mikasa sighed. "We're all gonna be late, so lets just walk together." She suggests.

Usually, Armin arrives at school at 7am sharp, Eren right about on time, and Mikasa minutes before you could be considered "late", (usually because she was following Eren from a distance.) So, it was a rare occasion for them to walk to school together. But they still were very close friends.

As the three walked, Armin was gazing at the clouds, rambling about a book he read on the water cycle and how clouds were formed. Eren was walking a couple steps ahead of everyone, half-listening to what Armin had to say. Mikasa was close behind Eren, and was staring at him, and looking away whenever he turned around. The feeling in the air today was different. It felt like something was going to happen. Not something good, or something bad, just something different. A light breeze could be felt, rustling the trees, and cherry blossoms littered the sidewalks. It was one of those days that made people feel happy to be alive. 

----------------------------------<3---------------------------------

They arrived at their school, immediately losing that feeling, because they were greeted with three bright pink DETENTION SLIPS, Handed out by, you guessed it, "Teachers pet" Marco. Apparently they had missed a very important assembly, and were SUPER late. "Awww cmon Marco cant you let us off the hook just this once?!?" Eren whined. Armin looked like he was about to cry. "My perfect attendance... why..." he said with his voice breaking. Mikasa looked upset too, probably just because Eren was. "Marco can you pretty please keep this a secret... even if you cant for me, just for Eren!" Mikasa pleaded. "Very kind of you, but no. Next time just dont be late, its not that hard." Marco shrugged.

Eren pushed past Marco, Mikasa and Armin following in his stead. "Easy for him to say... he lives a block away from the school!" Eren grumbled. "Its okay Eren, if you want I could personally come to your house and wake you up on time every day!" Mikasa offered. "Oh, uh... no thanks!" Eren refused, even though he kind of liked the idea of him waking up to see Mikasa every day. "Good thing I already have an alarm clock under my bed. That way I have to get up and turn it off, instead of laying around and falling back asleep!" Armin said enthusiastically. "Armin, sometimes you scare me..." Eren said. "Y'know, I wonder if you've ever snoozed your alarm once in your life." "Actually I haven't!" Armin answered, thinking it was a flex. It was actually quite concerning. 

The three of them entered the classroom, interrupting what seemed to be... a test. "Our luck cant get any worse from here, right?" Mikasa whispers. "Well, well, well! Look who finally decided to show up!" Mr.Levi said. "Mr.Levi? What are you doing here?!" Eren asked. "Well your teacher for this period is absent, so they had me take over." He shook his head. "I really dont get paid enough for this." He then let out a big long sigh. Eren, Armin, and Mikasa gave eachother a look that said, Poor Mr.Levi. "Well what are you waiting for?! Get in your seats and start your tests!" He said, startling them.

The three of them rushed to their assigned seats, and a couple of students snickered. One of those students was Jean, Eren's mortal enemy. "Even I got here earlier than you Eren. This is a whole new level of pathetic!" Jean whispered. "Didnt your little crush arrive at the same time? Should I tell her that you called her pathetic?" Eren snapped back. Jeans face turned red and as he was about to say some dumb response, Mr.Levi gave them a Look that said "Focus-on-your-tests or-you-dont-wanna-know."

The bell rang, and the students handed in their tests. Everyone split up into their groups of twos and threes, as well as some solo, and some larger groups; As they walked to their lockers. One of the bigger groups was Historia's. She always had at least five people tailing her like mindless zombies, half of them whos lockers were not even near hers. Unfortunately, Eren's locker WAS next to hers. "Good morning Eren!" Historia said with the same smile she gave everyone, but it always felt so special to the receiver, which in this case was Eren. "Good morn-" He replied, but was cut off by Historias phone blowing up even more than usual. "Uh-oh. I forgot to meet Ymir in the bathroom!" Historia said, Dropping her books for some random people to carry for her. Surprisingly three people rushed to pick them up and followed Historia. Reiner spotted Historia rushing off and called out to her, trying to get her attention. Before Eren could see what happened next, He was startled by a hand clawing onto his shoulder. He turned around to see the same blur of black accessories, clothing, and makeup, his eyes always took a few seconds to process, which was Mikasa, with an expression on her face he couldnt describe. 'God shes so pretty,' He thought. For a second. That thought was interrupted by Mikasa's voice.

"Eren! I dont want you talking to that Historia girl. I dont like her." Mikasa said, in a murderous tone, glaring in the direction she'd gone. "Whats wrong with Historia? Everyone seems to like her." Eren shrugged. "Just stay away, ... Please." Mikasa added at the end to be nicer. "I didnt even get to say a full sentence to her!" Eren said, rolling his eyes. This wasn't the first time Mikasa was talking about Historia like this. Sometimes Eren wondered if Mikasa was jealous, but that was just wishful thinking. Someone as cool and pretty as Mikasa wouldnt like him... right?

 Suddenly, Ymir pushed past them, tears streaming down her face, and a couple seconds later, Armin ran towards them, interrupting their conversation. "Guys! You wont believe what I just saw!!" He said with wide eyes.
