(adj.) beautiful or creative; divinely inspired; peaceful and perfect
Life has never been gracious to Mikasa.
from a young age, she learned that the world is cruel, and you need to fight to survive. but, she doesn't always know what fights are hers...
I hugged my best friends, Armin and Mikasa. I was sobbing quietly.
'I can't believe I'm moving away' I thought, hugging my friends more tightly. I heard the honking of a bus and Historia called "Hurry up Eren, your mom is calling you, the moving van is leaving!"
I looked up and rapped Mikasa's scarf around her one more time. I pulled away from the hug and said "I'll see you guys later" as brightly as I could, holding in a dam of tears.
I ran over to Historia and took a seat at the back of the van. I stared out the window and waved until I could no longer see them. sighing, I put in my airpods and pressed "play" on spotify. Sweater weather, by the neighborhood started playing and I hummed to the song. Laying my head on the window I closed my eyes, and fell asleep.
(mikasa's pov)
I waved to empty air where the bus used to be. It was now out of sight but I still waved. Armin put his hand on my shoulder and directed me away from the bus. I cried into my red scarf, Armin still directing me across the side-walk on the 10 minute walk home. it had been 3 minutes since I stopped crying.
I looked up to see we were walking under big trees, gaps of golden sunlight peaking through, and i thought to myself how beautiful it is. It reminded me of Eren. I remembered that time when we first made the walk back from the school, Eren had made a game of 'try not to step in the sunlight.' she could always make something boring or sad, fun and happy.
I looked at Armin who had put his hand back on my shoulder, he had tears falling down his cheeks. Clearly he was thinking about Eren too.
when I got home I sat on the porch swing, staring across the street to were Eren's house used to be. I remembered what Eren said when she first told us she was moving away, she had said "Life will move on, next year you guys will be seniors, and I will be at a different school. You will start thinking about me less and less, but life will move on, your life will continue. we'll always be in contact , if you ever need to talk to me!" she had said it with a serious expression, but it slowly faded into a soft smile that was just an attempt to mask the pain in her voice.
I connected my phone with the speaker and put on music. swinging slowly on the porch swing.
( Eren's POV) one year later, new year's eve
I cowered at the edge of the crowd, 'I can't believe my dad made me come to this!' I thought annoyed, pulling down my sparkling silver sequenced dress, which was too tight in my opinion.
Then one of my friends Marco ran up to me and tugged me into the crowd. I giggled as he said loudly "Come Onnnnnnnnn! Its sooooooo funnnnnnnn!" in the middle of the crowd I joined the rest of my friends, Mina, Hitch, Isiah, and Marlow. They had been quick to welcome me when I transferred to Trost HIgh, and we had become close quick. Crazy that we're graduating soon.
We screamed the lyrics of several songs, and karaoke to "Barbie World" by Nicki Manaj and Ice-spice. Our rapping was terrible but we couldn't bring ourselves to care, to wrapped up in having fun.
We danced and sang for hours, it was surprisingly fun. I was starting to feel happy that my dad dragged me to this new year's party.
"I'm going to get some punch!" I said loudly, my ears had popped but I didn't care, I was already too loud for my own good to even notice. I ran over to the punch and poured myself a glass, gulping it down I stared at the timer, it read ONE MINUTE.
I squealed excitedly and ran outside, staring up at the sky. people joined me and we chanted
" FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO ONE!" everyone collectively counted down. "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, gazing up at all the fireworks bursting in the sky.
I got my phone out and took a picture, then I got a message from Mikasa and Armin.
Mika Mika

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!!
I felt a tap on my shoulder, stealing my attention away from the group chat. Isiah made a joke , I laughed out loud and put my phone away. " Happy new year Isiah." I cheered, smiling brightly at him. He returned my smile and spoke, "Happy new year, Eren."
