After that night with the Jaegers my parents seemed to become really good friends with them and my life seemed a bit more normal, this is the first time we've stayed in one place for more than 6 months, I made some friends such as Christa, Ymir, Armin, Annie, Marco, Jean, but the one person that I never really made friends with was Eren, I don't like him.
Today is my first day of high school and I'm super excited because my parents finally let me wear what I want to school and I want to surprise Annie with my look when she picks me up for school.
I put down my journal and get dressed- ripped mom jeans, black converse, white tee, and a purple knit hat.
I spend a second in the mirror fixing my hair until I hear Annie honking at me so I grab my phone and my backpack before leave the house. I get to school and look around to see a lot of people at the front but none were my friends so I walk into school to see if I could find them and sure enough there Armin is with everyone else in our first class.
"So I guess we all have the same classes in the morning!" I say interrupting their conversation.
"Wow! Mikasa you look great." Christa says
"You look so different!" Says Armin
"Love the new look Mika" Ymir says.
"Thanks guys." I say happily as I take a seat at the back of the room beside Marco.
Several minutes go by of our catching up before the bell rings.
"So what did everyone do during the summer?" A short man I assume is our teacher asks as he enters the room.
And of course, Armin being Armin, he raised his hand first.
"Yes you, small blonde coconut."
"My name is Armin and I got a job at the library and I volunteered at the animal shelter."
"Good for you"
This guy already pisses me off. I bet he's gonna be one of those jackass teachers who can't take their attention of themselves for one second to help a student. I hope he can let his ego deflate a little this year."Now my name is Mr.Ackerman." The man finishes.
We both have the same last name... weird. "Mikasa" Armin calls, snapping me out of my trance. "Class is over."
"Coming." I say
"What were you thinking of anyways?" Asks Christa
"Nothing."
"That's a lie." Ymir says.
"It's not a big deal."
"Whatever you say, Ms.Secretive. Let's just get to our next class then." Says Armin, pointing in the direction of our class.

I couldn't stop thinking about my teacher all day, just wondering who he is. I tried to focus but I couldn't stop thinking about how I didn't want to have to leave behind all that I have now. I discard those thoughts before anyone asks any questions and I walk into the cafeteria to pick out the lunch table for the year. I walk in and see Armin and everyone else already at a table so I walk over and sit beside Annie. Everyone so far is talking about our homework or the new teachers we have but really I have no interest in talking about that so I just sit there and take out my lunch.
"Hey guys can I sit with you?" I look up locking eyes with Eren fucking Jaeger.
"sure." I say, glaring at him.
"Thanks." says Eren as he takes a seat beside me.
"How has your summer been." I ask not bothering to make eye contact and not really interested.
"Uneventful, how about yours?" Asks Eren.
"Best summer I have ever had." I say getting up and leaving the cafeteria.
I cant make small talk with him like that. I know that something about his family is weird and I want nothing to do with it.
"Mikasa! Why did you leave? Why do you hate me so much? Why? What did I ever do to you? I know, I was nice to you but you just shut me out!" Screams Eren. I turn around to meet eyes with the boy as he's in tears just waiting for me to respond. I never really knew that it hurt him so much that I rejected him. I am baffled at his reaction.
"I simply don't like you." I say before turning away and walking out of the school.
I pull out my phone in the process of walking home and I shoot Armin a text.
Armin: left school early can you please get my homework for me.
I can't seem to focus on anything, what am I going to do to make things right with Eren? I refuse to be friends with him, I don't trust him.
I get to my house, run into my room and sit at my computer desk. I start researching my teacher, Levi Ackerman. All I could dig up on him is that he was in foster care but other than that nothing. So now that the questions about my teacher have been answered I need to find a way to make it up to Eren.
I get off the seat at my desk and jump onto my bed, face planting it like a pro. I let out a long frustrated sigh. Today I make the decision of giving Eren the opportunity of having friends by avoiding my friends because I hurt him. And with that decision I closed my eyes and fell asleep face down on my bed.
