after you

a letter

It's been a week since the week trip. During that week you decided to get used to your new school and adjust to it and to your surprise, you did pretty good at that. Your first class of the day was chemistry and you were pretty thrilled about it because you knew Mikasa had that class with you.

You haven't seen her since the trip so you were excited to see her again. You walked into class and scanned the room. You saw her sitting in the back and when she noticed you, her eyes lit up and waved at you.

You approach her and take a seat by her, greeting her with a hug. "Hi my love, how have you been?" She questioned. You smile at her, fixing the band of your hoodie. "I'm good, how about you?" You replied.

"Im f-"

"Ladies settle down, class is about to start," The teacher, Ms. Jackson interrupted. Both you and Mikasa side eyed each other, holding in a suppressed laugh. "Is something funny?" Ms.Jackson Interrogated.

The two of you shook your heads and before the teacher could even start her lesson, someone knocked on the door. She cursed under her breath, setting down her textbooks on her desk before making her way to the door.

"May I help you?"

"They switched me to this class," A soft voice stated. Ms. Jackson nods.

"Name?"

"Hitch,"

"Okay come in and take a seat,"

Hitch throws her bag over her shoulder as she walks in. You notice her and slightly smile. "Hitch! Come sit with us!" You slightly whispered, loud enough for her to hear but not loud enough for the teacher to tweak out.

You catch a glimpse of Hitch's eyes softening as she takes a seat by you and Mikasa. "How are you?" You ask her. "I'm doing.. Okay, I guess," She responded with a small nod. Mikasa reaches over and places her head on her shoulder, giving her a reassuring squeeze. "I know what happened, happened but you're better than him and you'll find someone so much better. Plus you met the douche online, they don't give much. But then again, men aint shit."

HItch chuckles as she brushes some of the hair out of her face. "I appreciate that Mikasa, thank you,"

You watch the interaction of the two bloom in front of you. You stayed quiet because Hitch doesn't know that you know about what happened, thanks to Historia, and you won't say anything about it unless she brings it up herself.

For the rest of the class, you took notes about the different topics Ms. Jackson was explaining. You would be lying if you said you knew what she should be talking about, but then again, chemistry was never your thing.

The bell rang and class was over. You put all your books back in your bag as the class slowly emptied out. One thing you did notice is that this one guy kept staring at you almost the entire class period. Before you exited the room, you peered back and saw him looking at you, again.

HIs skin was fair and light and he had curly black hair with beautiful deep blue eyes. He stood up, grabbing his bag and tossing it over his shoulder. He made eye contact with you as he walked passed you, his shoulder gazing yours as he winks at you before fully exiting the room.

"Holy shit y/n, what was that?" Hitch asks with a slight laugh. You shrug as the three of you leave the classroom. "He's totally into you," Mikasa exclaimed as she took out her phone and opened the camera app, fixing her hair.

"Nah," You stated.

"No like he for sure does, boys are predictable when they like someone,"

"How do you know that? I thought you liked girls?" Hitch asks. Mikasa nods, putting her phone back in her pocket. "I do, but boys are stupid and I have friends, like you guys, who like boys and y'all are so dense when it comes to accepting the fact that boys like you."
