A New World, year 2022

2 Annie's part of the group

  What's up... - Annie replied, reaching the door of the field surrounded by the wire fence.

  Hey Annie! - Armin excitedly called her attention. - Up for some sleuthin', partner? - He kept missing the blonde girl. Annie locked at the smiler boy annoyed, he knows she doesn't understand his ridiculous British accent and yet he uses it to annoy her.

  Chill with the offbeat talk, fool! You're freaking her out! - Mikasa scolded him from the goal making Historia and Armin laugh.

  What does that mean? - Annie asked alredy confused looking at Armin.

  "We're going to play detective, wanna join?" He said... - Historia answered making fun of his cousin with a funy tone.

  And how to play that? - Annie asked curious looking at Armin.

  Ain't no game plan, Mikasa and Armin suggest we roll out to find Eren... - Historia continued looking around.

  And how are you finding him? - Annie asked.

  Teacher Hange told me she's got the deets on where I might find info... - Mikasa answered.

  Well, it ain't a big deal for me honestly... - She replied crossing her arms.

  Better. - Mikasa reacted turning her gaze to Armin and Historia. - I'd rather just roll solo on this one, ya know...?

  Jealousy is clare from a mile away Mikasa. - Annie commented with a mocking smile causing Mikasa to shoot her a murderous look.

  If you roll through, I'll be watching you, blondie. (Eren was taken from me when I lived in the other world, in Paradise, they won't take him from me here.) - She thought.

  We are also blonde Mikasa. - Armin told ironically.

  When we gonna chop it up with the teacher, though? - Asked Historia interrupting them.

  While second break, Hange is in the cafeteria, we ask her there... - The blonde boy did answer, playing little games or touching the ball to be able to take it to his hands.

  After that Armin threw the ball to Annie, she caught it with no problem.

  New bird, save bird. - Armin said with a playful smile jumping away from the goal, Historia followed him getting ready while Mikasa went ahead of Annie.

  I'll save. - Mikasa said emphatically, giving to Annie a second intimidating look, which made her smile.

  Chill girl! Just 'cause I got the goalie game on lock doesn't mean I'm snatching your little boyfriend. - Annie said walking away from the goal with a mocking smile, surprisingly Mikasa just passed the ball to her and followed the game.

  Well, let's see if I'm as inferior as you say waterheater head. - Mikasa gave her a competitive smile, she was going to shoot very strong.

  I was good, Eren straight-up shoved me down the hill, and he ate that damage, like he was just 5 meters from that grenade. Eren could've bit the dust right then and there, no joke. - Mikasa commented without expressing any emotion as she took a small bite of her part of the bite.

  At least you were okay, fam. - Answered Historia without taking her gaze from the jet-hair girl eyes, she was very attentive to the Story that Mikasa was telling, and Armin, he didn't even speak, he only listened.

  Hey. - A different voice interrupted them. - Can I join you? - It was Annie, who approached them with a tray full of food, she spoke with a somewhat shy tone.

  Sure, take a sit... - Armin told her pointing to the free space next to him.

  Will you finally join us, Annie? - Historia asked as she watched Mikasa sit next to Armin.

  Yes... - She answered without saying anything else after sitting down.

  Why you gotta roll up outta the blue and decide to jump in? - Asked Mikasa who was in front of the blonde.

  I'm really bored. - Replied the blonde girl poking a piece of potato with her fork. - I want to do something else than just come to school, study, exercise, come to school, study, exercise and so on... - The answer impressed everyone.

  It's the first time I'm catchin' you drop words like that, huh? - Armin said with a look of curiosity, expanding those huge blue eyes that he has.

  Annie just looked away, somewhat annoyed, she made an effort for months to be scary, that no one approach her and thus be calm, and that chute head comes and talks to her as if nothing had happened, as if she were a random person, although, to tell the truth , that also intrigued her, who is that boy really? Why aren't you afraid to talk so directly with her?

  Just at that moment, teacher Hange along with another teacher passed by them, Armin noticed and abruptly got up from the table.

  Teacher! - He said surprising everyone, including the two teachers who turned to see him.

  Armin...? - Asked the physical education teacher looking at the boy, who was accompanied by Hange.

  Um, actually... - The blonde answered timidly. - I need to talk to teacher Hange...

  Oh, what's going on dear? - Asked the teacher taking two steps closer to the table.

  Stuff you told me about Eren... - Mikasa said quickly without giving Armin time to respond.

  Oh I see. - Hange replied with a serious tone, sliding her right hand into her pocket.

  Hange took out a wrapped paper and handed it to Mikasa, then turned around.

  Read it when you can, see you... - Without saying anything else, Hange began to walk in the opposite direction of them, the teacher who accompanied her looked at them cautiously, then he also turned around and began to walk.

  Mikasa automatically turned to the table and backed into it, opening the paper.

  What does it say? - Asked Armin cornering followed by Annie and Historia.

  "Meet me Thursday at 5:00 PM in Pasadena, on Washington Boulevard at a triangle intersection." - Drafted Mikasa reading the paper

  In a deuce... - Armin said.

  That's north, almost out of town. - Annie continued looking at the paper.

  You hip to all the spots in the city? - Armin asked somewhat surprised looking at the girl, who just snorted.

  Ok then... - Mikasa said, suddenly getting up from the table. - You all know when and where to link up.

  Immediately afterwards, Mikasa left the table where they were and began to walk towards her class, leaving her friends behind, since classes were about to start, and she doesn't like to being late.

  The rest saw her somewhat prying, leaving with that taste in their mouths that they had just gotten involved in something that up to that moment seemed to be very serious.
