Jeankasa High School

Chapter 1, New Year New Start

Walking to school Eren, Mikasa, and Armin talked about the normal things. Grades, Sports, and jobs. Armin went on and on about how worried he was with his grades.

"Our lockers are over there," Eren says pointing left. "See you later."

"Okay," Mikasa responds. She quickly rummages through her bag to find the paper with her locker information and class layout.

"Locker 473," the paper reads. Mikasa scans the lockers until hands covered her eyes.

"Guess Who!" Someone exclaims through a full mouth. Their hands smelled like salt and vinegar.

"Sasha," Mikasa says.

"You guessed it!" Sasha cries. "I haven't seen you in forever!"

"Yeah," Mikasa replies. Mikasa might not seem interested but she really enjoys Sasha's company. Being with someone so lively made her lose all her thoughts. Sometimes it can really help.

"I just wanted to say hi! I didn't know how many classes we had together! I'll see you later!" She calls running off.

Mikasa quickly clears her mind. She was really concerned about the new year.

"Locker 473," she says as she walks up to it. Looking back at the paper she finds the combination. "36-26-12."

Opening her locker she places her dry erase bored and mirror on the door. She also puts up her homemade mail box by the slits on the top of her locker. When someone slips a note in it drops inside it.

Grabbing her folder, notebook, and pencil bag she heads to her home room,  Biology.

Walking into the classroom she sees that her teacher, is not in the class yet.

She looks around, and after she confirmed there was no visible seating chart she sat in the back corner by a large window. It was nice out, and she'd rather be outside. The end of the summer is always disappointing, you lose the freedom you once had.

The bell rang and the teacher still hadn't entered the classroom. Mikasa waited a few minuets before she laid her head on her desk.

At that moment, there was the sound of crazed laughter as the door bursted open.

"I knew you were curious! That's why you are still in class after I hadn't showed up!" Hange shouts. "You want to learn biology right!?"

There were a few mumbles, but Jean thought it was too early in the morning for anyone to be that energetic.

Bored with Hange rambling on about the biochemistry of the human body Jean took out his sketch pad.

He flipped it open and admired some of his work. His art was the one thing that made him who he was.

"That's pretty good," Eren whispers. "But that's an anime character, wow nerd."

Jean went to argue but Eren took his sketch pad and started flipping through.

Eren knew that all the art was really good, because he was really an anime nerd himself, he just never would admit it.

Hange continued talking, now on the subject of the macromolecules, talking about how important nucleic acids were for survival.

Eren stopped at a page that looked familiar. He soon realized why.

"Why did you draw Mikasa?" Eren accused.

"Who's Mikasa?" Jean countered. "I don't know who you're talking about."

"You know who she is, you drew her right here," Eren responded. "She's my sister."

"She doesn't exist. I just made her up," Jean argued.

"She is my sister." Eren repeated.

Just then the bell rang. Mikasa quickly collected her books and walked through the row of desks and past the front row.

Jean and Eren continued to argue, but then Jean saw Mikasa walk past. She was really there, just like his dream girl.

"You know, I really don't care how you know Mikasa. You forgot her red scarf," Eren said before leaving the classroom.

But Jean didn't hear what Eren said. His dream girl is real.
