"It's aptitude test time, so listen up! There is no place for you here if you cannot perform! Fail, and be shipped to the fields!"

Sadis is yelling loudly, giving out instructions and explaining what today is about. I'm in this weird sling thing, it feels weird and I dont like it. I watched Mikasa do it, seeing as she is what I considered perfection in all things. At first I could barely keep myself up, after falling back a few times and blatantly staring at Mikasa for a few moments. I feel like I could try again. I try Sashas technique with using it like a swing. I smile, feeling accomplished as I swing myself back and forth while keeping myself steady.

I turn over to see how Eren is doing and I burst out laughing. "E-Eren! You need help there, buddy!?"

I can't containe it, he reminded me of the monkeys I'd read about. Exept he is a lot less graceful than anyone to ever exist. While I am happy that I'm doing better than Eren, I'm a bit annoyed I didn't get it done on the first try. While I remember being scolded about not being the best at everything, and needing to humble myself a bit. It still frustrates me that I didn't get it right the first time. I zone out and begin paying little to no attention, so little that I don't hear Sadis yelling at me. "Cadet Yeager! Do you hear me!"

I finally zone back in after I feel my feet against the ground. I blink a few times and look to see the angry face of Keith Sadis staring at me. "Is there something you need, sir?"

His face contorts, he looks like the old guys with scars all over their faces. Exept he doesn't have any scars. "Why yes, there is something wrong! While you might find this all fun and game, idiots like you are the ones the titans used as teeth cleaners! Get your ass over there and start running!"

I take myself out of the bouncy thing, and begin running. Why he's mad, I have no idea. I'll have to ask someone later. As I'm running I remind myself to keep a jogging pace, I've learned I'm a lot faster than I previously realized, and I get odd looks when I run like that. After everyone is done with training I'm told I can stop running. I decide to sit and take a break while Mikasa and Armin attempt to help Eren.

"I say give up before you hurt yourself."

"Lyrin!" Armin says in an unnaturally high pitched squeal.

"Lyrin! Stop it!" Mikasa does the same but she doesn't seem as enthusiastic about it. She give me a look, a look that tells me to shut up and stay quiet.

"Whatever, I'm right, and Mikasa you traitor. Taking Erens side, how dare!"
I say this all in a playful manor and all I get is an eyeroll in return. I lay back and watch as Eren says he's ready. His head slams smack dab into the ground.

"Ha! Told you, fuckers!"
I get slapped upside the head and told to come help.

Were all sitting down eating, many people are giving us- by us I mean Eren, looks. I don't mind, mainly because if they were to look at anyone else it'd be Mikasa. Eren has an outburst after Mikasa practically says the same thing I did, except she sugar coats it for him. I stare, clearly annoyed. When I feel a hand under the table hold mine, Mikasa is holding my hand. The unhappy look on my face is wiped off as I zone in, and pay attention to the cool feeling of Mikasas hand on mine.

I lay down on a bed next to Mikasas. I listen to the conversations that are going on and I see the small groups that are forming. I notice a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, Annie. Yeah, her names Annie. She's pretty, her nose is a bit odd, and she's short. I'm about Ymirs height now that I think about it.
I look and see Ymir and Krista sitting together, they're very close. I notice that they're hiding it, not well, but they're holding hands. I see Sasha talking up a storm to the two of them, she looks a bit sad. Probably about what Mikasa pulled earlier. Although she did deserved it. . .
