Chapter Five: Plans

"Thank goodness that's over!" Anadil exclaimed, looking over at Kyla, who was curled up in the seat and leaning up against Anadil. "Are you going to move..?"

"No," Kyla immediately answered before directing her eyes to the podium. "I read all of that stuff in the brochure and site, so this entire orientation was unhelpful."

"Well, some people are not as astute as you. Now, stop being lazy and get up!" Anadil poked Kyla in the side and watched as she curled up. "Hey, your boyfriend's watching you."

Kyla, red in the face, sat up and pointed a finger at her friend, who was giggling.

"If you start calling him my boyfriend, I'll tell that dude you called him a DILF," Kyla quickly responded before quickly standing up. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave, anyway?"

"I really want to get something to eat, so-" the girl started before Sasha raced over to them.

"A few of us are planning on going out to eat. Do you want to join?" the brunette exclaimed, her mouth turning up in a smile when the two nodded. "Cool, Jean is planning on driving us over there."

"How big is his car?" Kyla softly murmured before following Sasha and Anadil over to the group.

This group consisted of them, Connie, Mikasa, Eren, Armin, the blond-haired girl who looked identical to the former, and her brunette friend. Jean stood in the middle, counting out the people, his eyebrow creased.

"Erm, I didn't think that so many people would want to come. I can only fit about five people in my car, so you're all going to have to figure out what you're going to do," the man announced, his brow creasing.

"I have room in my car, Krista..." Ymir mumbled before digging through her bag for her keys. "The restaurant is pretty far away, so it should take the clunker a little while to get there."

"We could always go in my car-" Krista offered up as Ymir quickly shook her head.

"I'm going to be the one driving, and I really don't want to mess up your car."

"Do you get into a lot of crashes?" Krista asked, her eyes widening in curiosity.

"Not a lot of them, but I'd rather not scuff up your car. It looks really expensive," Ymir answered as she finally pulled out her keys. "We should get a headstart before the others get going. Come on-" Wrapping her hand around Krista's wrist, Ymir started towards the parking lot, practically dragging the blond behind her.

Similarly, the others were trying to decide who they were going to ride with. Connie and Sasha had almost immediately snatched up the available seats in Jean's car, leaving the others to squander over the last two seats.

"I can take one of the last seats with Jean if no one else wants-" started Mikasa, slowly raising her hand. However, Eren immediately pushed her hand down and shook his head harshly.

"You know that I've got enough room in my car!" he exclaimed as Mikasa blinked in shock. "If you're going with Jean, I'm comin' too-"

"There are two seats left. That's what I was thinking..." she murmured in response before moving to tighten the scarf around her neck. "If you want me to ride with you, I can do that too."

"Sure, I guess. If you're so insistent-"

Kyla, who was watching the scene from the background, giggled behind her hand. At least until a hand tapped her arm, causing her to stiffen in surprise.

"Sorry, sorry!" the vaguely familiar voice of Armin called out as she moved to look behind her at the wide-eyed boy. "I didn't mean to frighten you-"

"No, you didn't," Kyla interrupted him before cocking her head in question. "What did you need?"
