The New Kid

Chapter 8

-The Next Day, Friday-

"You didn't have to drive me." Eren said as he looked at Mikasa who had just parked his car in the school parking lot. "I did. After hearing what happened yesterday, I'm paranoid. I don't want you to get hurt again, and if you do, I will find out who it is and take their asses to court."

Eren softly bit the good side of his lip. "Fine....." Mikasa leaned over and kissed him on the forehead. "Have a good day at school." He said. Eren nodded and climbed out of the car. "I'll try. Have fun at work." Mikasa chuckled. "Yeah, as if that's possible."

Eren grinned and shut the car door. He turned and walked across the high schools mini bus loop then into the school. Once again, he decided to carry his backpack around with him, he still didn't trust anyone. He went straight to the lunch room, which wasn't far from the entrance.

He walked in and found Petra sitting at the 'popular' kids table. She looked at him and glared. He knew he had to walk by her to get to his table. Biting his lip, he walked to the table.

"Faggot." "Queer." "Gay." He heard them say as he walked by. He fought back the tears as he reached his table and sat down, putting his backpack on it. 'Why do people have to be so mean?', he thought quietly to himself as he stared at his lap and waited for Levi and Christa.

They ended up walking in about 5 minutes later. The two had to walk by Petra's table, but as soon as they said something to them, they shoved the table into them making everyone there yelp in pain. One thing Eren's learned since meeting them , don't piss them off, they will will hunt your ass down.

They got to the table and sat down.

"You know, you said you were gonna text me last night when you got home, but you never did." Levi crossed his arms and pouted. "Sorry, when I got home I talked to my brother then went to bed." Eren told him.

"Mm, it's fine, but if you do that again, I'll go to your house." Levi said, making Eren giggle. "Alright, deal." Levi smirked and leaned back in his seat.

Christa's eyes lit up when she got an idea. "Hey! You know what we should do tonight?" "Hm?" Levi and Eren looked at her. "We should go to Walmart!" Levi rose an eyebrow as Eren tilted his head. "Why Walmart?" Levi asked. "Because we can cause a lot of trouble there!" She grinned.

Eren giggled softly. Christa grinned. "So? What do you say?" Levi nodded. "I'm in. That sounds like fun." Christa looked at Eren who also nodded. "I'll do it." Christa grinned. "Great! Meet me at my car after school." Eren and Levi both nodded.

-After School-

Christa stood by her car, waiting for Levi and Eren to show up. While she waited, one of the guys from Petra's new 'friends' showed up and she glared at him. "What do you want?" He smirked and walked up to her. "Come on, baby, don't be like that."

"Call me baby again, and I'll run you over with my car."

"Ooh, feisty! I like that." Christa growled. "How about you and me-"

"The girl said no." Christa looked past the guy and the guy turned around to see Ymir, a kid a year older than them that was normally pretty quiet. She walked close. "So leave her alone." Reiner, the guy from Petra's group, turned around to face her. "Oh yeah? And what are you going to do if I don't?" Reiner stepped closer to her.

"I'll call a teacher or the principal over here." Ymir said. "Oh, I'm so scared!" Reiner mocked. Ymir stood there with a straight look on her face before opening her mouth. "Mr. Blue!!!" She screamed for the principal. Reiner's eyes widened before he quickly scattered off.

Christa watched before looking at Ymir and grinning. "Thanks, I was starting too think that I really did need to run him over with my car." Ymir chuckled and walked up to her. "I'm glad I was able to help. What are you doing out here, anyways? Shouldn't you be on your way home?" Christa nodded.

"Yeah. I'm waiting for two of my friends, Eren and Levi."

"Oh, are they really together? If so, I don't care. I'm bi." Christ shook her head. "No, they're not." Ymir nodded.

Just then, Eren and Levi came running up to them. "Sorry we're late! This one had to go to the bathroom and took forever!" Eren said, gesturing his thumb at Levi. Levi chuckled. "Hey, you gotta go, you gotta go." "Yes, but not 5 minutes!" Levi wrapped his arm around Eren's shoulder. Eren rolled his eyes and looked at Ymir. "Who's that?" He asked.

"Ymir." Ymir said. "I helped Christa out."

Eren rose an eyebrow. "Helped her out with what? What happened?" Christa shook her head. "It was nothing, don't worry about it." "Mm..." Eren dropped it, but was still really curious.

"So, you ready to go?" She asked, changing the subject. Eren and Levi nodded. "Yep." They said in unison. Christa looked at Ymir. "If you want to come with us, you can." She said. Ymir smiled, but shook her head. "No thanks, but I'll see you Monday, OK?" Christa nodded in understanding. "OK, see ya." She watched as she walked away before looking at the other two. "OK, everyone in the car!" She said with a big grin on her face.
