"Guys! You wont believe what I just saw!!" Armin said, out of breath from running to them. He took a couple seconds to catch his breath. "Armin, how far did you run?" Mikasa asked with a concerned look on her face. "From the hallway the first floor bathroom is, to here!" Armin said, now standing up. "Armin... thats not even that far." Eren said. "Whatever! Let me tell you what happened." Armin said, changing the subject. "So basically, Ymir told Historia to meet her in the girls bathroom right? Well Reiner was flirting with Historia so she couldn't go in." "Okay what happened next?" Mikasa asked, looking bored. "Well Ymir came out of the bathroom, and saw this. Basically Ymir was going to ask Historia to prom in the bathroom, but she didnt go in so she asked Historia in front of everyone including Reiner. "I mean we all knew Ymir was going to ask Historia to prom at some point." Eren said. "Okay but what's important is what happened next! Ymir and Reiner got into a fight!" Armin said wide-eyed. "WHAT?!" Eren said. "I mean that was expected." Mikasa shrugged.

Suddenly, the locker next to them slammed shut. Behind it was Annie! "Who won?" She asked, startling everyone but Mikasa. "Oh, Uh, Hi Annie!" Armin said. "Well? Are you gonna tell me or not?" She asked, impatiently. "N-neither won. Historia didnt pick a side either, she was just watching them and chewing her gum. She seemed to be enjoying it though. Like she actually looked up from her phone for more than 5 minutes! Before the fight could get any worse, Mr. Levi walked in and yelled at them for a bit. They ended up getting detention, '' Armin answered nervously. "Ugh, Lame." Annie said, walking away. "Hey! You know class starts soon right?" Armin shouted as she left. "Yea, I know. Im skipping." Annie replied, almost out of sight. Armin sighed.

Armin, Mikasa, and Eren all walked their separate ways, since they didnt have any classes together until after lunch. Most of the hallways and classrooms were decorated for prom. It actually looked decent, too. Prom was in three days, counting today after all. Mikasa thought about the assembly she had missed because she came to school late. Was the gym decorated too? She thought. Mikasa wondered what it looked like. If the decorations in the hallway looked this good, the gym must look magical. From the looks of it, the theme for prom was gothic, which Mikasa loved, obviously. She just adored gothic fashion, and the gothic aesthetic in general.

Mikasa was just too curious, so she just decided to skip class and go to the gym, where the prom dance would be held. 'It wouldn't hurt too much to peek, right?' She thought. Just as she was about to walk in, she heard voices and stood by the door. "Annie! What should I do?! Both Ymir and Reiner asked me to prom!" A high pitched voice asked. Mikasa remembered what Armin had said earlier. This must have been Historia talking. "Reject both of them." another person answered, who must've been Annie. "WHAT?!" The first voice said. "You clearly can't pick, so just go alone," Annie said, rolling her eyes. Mikasa could practically hear Annies eye roll from where she was standing. "I can't go alone! I already know I'm going to win Prom Queen, so I can't let a random guy be Prom King. I'm going to get a date!" Historia insisted. "Well that shouldn't be too hard for you. Just ask anyone and I'm sure they'll say yes." Annie said. "But who should I ask?" Historia asked.

"Armin?" "No, too nerdy."

"Marco?" "No, he's a pain in the ass."

"Jean?" "Hell no."

"Connie?" "Too dumb"

"Bertolt?" "Clings to Reiner too much"

"Eren..?" "Hmmm he's actually not too bad"

"So Eren it is then. Wait a minute... I think Mikasa likes Eren though?" Annie asked. "We don't have to worry about that, I'm sure Eren would pick me over her anyday."

Mikasa clenched her fists. She was resisting the urge to walk right into the gym and snap Historias neck right then and now.

Suddenly, the bell rang. It was time for lunch.

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

Mikasa's head was swarming with thoughts and worries as she walked to the cafeteria. 'Is Historia really going to ask Eren to prom? Will Eren say yes? Will he reject her? When is Historia going to ask him? Who is Eren going to prom with if he rejects her? I doubt he'll reject her.' She started to walk faster, the hallway floor tiles, walls, windows, and fluorescent lights swirling together. Mikasa was starting to get a headache. She stumbled through the cafeteria door, going straight to where Eren was sitting, without grabbing anything to eat.

"Mikasa? What's wrong? You look pale." Eren asked, putting down the sandwich he was just about to take a bite of. Mikasa slipped onto the cold plastic bench, sitting closer to Eren than usual. "Don't worry about it. Eat your lunch." Mikasa grumbled. "Wait bu-" Eren was cut off by Mikasa shoving an apple from his plate into his mouth. "Eat."

Mikasa didn't want Eren to worry about her. She was supposed to be the one worrying about him. Mikasa glanced at the table Historia was sitting at. The table itself was overcrowded, and even more people were standing around the table, trying to get her attention. Ymir and Reiner were sitting on either side of Historia, arguing, while Historia herself was staring at Mikasa and Eren. Mikasa quickly looked away.

As Eren was finishing up his sandwich, Mikasa glanced at him. "Hey Eren, you have something on your face." Mikasa said. "Really, I do?" He said, touching various parts of his face. Mikasa laughed and wiped it off his cheek, giving him a quick peck on the cheek after. "WOAH." Armin said, now standing right in front of them. "Sorry I took so long, the lunch line was impossibly long. But am I interrupting something?" He said. "N-no!" Mikasa said. "Nope! Nothing!" Eren said nervously. "Sit with us Armin!" He said, his face still bright red. Mikasa turned to look at Historias table again. Historias stare had turned into a glare, and she started texting on her phone furiously. Mikasa's line of sight was blocked by a horse- no Jean.

"Not this guy again..." Eren said. "Hey! I saw what happened here. I can't believe you planned to get food on your face in that exact spot just so that Mikasa could wipe it off and kiss you right after!" Jean exclaimed. "I didn't plan anything!" Eren said back. "Of course you 'didn't'! This is all just a part of your master plan to steal MY girlfriend!" "She isn't even your girlfriend!!" Eren said, slamming his soda on the table, standing up, Face-to-face with Jean. "Not this again.." Armin sighed.

As they bickered, Historia was texting Annie. "WHY IS MIKASA GETTING ALL LOVEY DOVEY WITH EREN ALL OF THE SUDDEN?!" Historia types, in all caps. It takes a couple seconds, but Annie replies with, "Maybe she's planning on asking him to prom too? Idk." "BUT SHE CANT!! THEN WHO WILL I GO TO PROM WITH??" Historia sends. "Well you dont even like Eren anyways, so just go for someone else." Annie messages. "We already went over this, all the other boys are not it" Historia replies. "Well then good luck taking him to prom then" Annie says.

The bell rang, and everyone started to get up and head to their lockers and classes.

"You got lucky this time Eren! I've got my eye on you!" Jean says before leaving. "Uh-huh of course you do." Eren grumbles, going the opposite direction.

The next few classes go by in a blur, some of them having Armin or Eren in, some of them having a glaring Historia, or gazing Jean in, and some of them having a couple familiar classmates. Finally the last class of the day came around, that everyone had together: Science with Hange.

To be continued!
