The New Kid

Chapter 25

-The Next Morning-

Eren woke up early the next morning, a little after five. He opened his eyes and found himself staring at nothing but the blank darkness that filled the room. He sighed, thinking back to the night before. Is that really how Levi acted around his friends? He understood that he would want to spend time with them, but did he really have to just ignore him?

Eren sighed. Maybe he was just overreacting. Levi cares about him. He sat up and grabbed his bag of candy from beside his bed and began eating a few pieces. Once he got tired of them, he laid back down and curled up. He stayed like that until the alarm went off at 6. He groaned and shut the annoying alarm off.

He climbed out of bed and went and got ready for the long day ahead of him. Once he was finished, he went into the living room. He curled up on the couch and waited for Levi to show up and take him to school. However, for some reason, he just didn't feel like going to school that day. He felt tired.

He waited forever for Levi to show up, but he never did. The hurt inside Eren just grew. It wasn't long before Mikasa came into the living room. He saw Eren lying on the couch and looked at him confused. "Eren, what are you doing here? It's almost 7:30." Eren shrugged. "Levi never showed up. I don't feel like going to school today."

Mikasa frowned and walked over to him. "I'm sorry, but you've already missed a lot of school. So unless you're really sick, you have to go."

Eren sighed and sat up. "Fine, can you at least drive me?"

"What about Levi?"

Eren shrugged and shifted his eyes down to the ground. "I don't know. He never showed up." Mikasa frowned. "He met up with a friend last night and he brought him home with him to spend the night." Eren continued to explain.

"Oh? Well how do you feel about that?" He asked, sitting down next to his younger brother.

Eren shrugged and casted his eyes downward to the carpeted floor. "I don't know, hurt, kind of.... But I don't want to be one of those boyfriends who get jealous over every little thing. I mean, it is his old friend. He should be able to hang out with him without me freaking out on him."

"If he starts doing things that you don't like, you should speak up. Hiding how you feel like that won't help your relationship later down the road." Mikasa advised him.

Eren sighed. "Yeah, I know, but still. It's nothing big. Can we just get going?"

Mikasa sighed and nodded, standing up from the couch. "Yeah, lets go." He went and grabbed his keys then walked outside with Eren following behind him. They got in the car and drove Eren to school.

-Skip To School-

Eren walked into the lunch room and found Christa sitting at their usual table with Ymir. He walked up to them and sat down. Christa looked over at him and around. "Hey, where's Levi?" She asked, confused when she couldn't find him. Eren shrugged. "I don't know."

"What do you mean? Didn't he drive you?" She asked confused. Eren shook his head. "No, Mikasa did."

"Oh. OK." Christa said awkwardly. Breakfast went be and at the end of it, Eren went to Math alone since Christa had gym first and went the opposite way.

-2nd Period-

Eren entered Global and went to his seat and sat down in his normal spot. It wasn't until a couple seconds before the bell rang that Levi walked in. He went to his seat and sat down. Eren didn't look at him the whole time.

The class went be with Eren paying attention to the teacher and Levi occasionally looking at him. He could tell without talking to him that Eren was not happy with him about something.

When the bell for end of the period rang, Eren immediately grabbed his stuff and stood up, ready to rush off. However, Levi quickly grabbed his arm while standing up. "Wait, Eren! What's wrong?" Levi asked confused. "Nothing." Eren said. He didn't want to seem selfish for getting worked up for a stupid reason. Levi frowned. "I know it's something, Eren. You can tell me."

Eren shook his head, refusing to look at Levi. "We have to go." He said, pulling his arm away and walking out. Levi sighed and followed him out and to their 3rd period class.

-Skip To 7/8 Period-

Levi went into the gym locker room and found his boyfriend standing in his boxers, bent over, trying to put on his gym shorts. Levi smirked when he saw and walked over, slapping him on his butt. Eren squeaked and jumped up, spinning around. Levi chuckled. "I like that outfit on you~" He smirked. Eren blushed darkly and crossed his arms.

Levi walked up to him and gave him a peck on his lips. "Love ya." Eren huffed and finished getting dressed. He walked out of the locker room and to the middle of the gym where his squad was. He sat down in his assigned seat and waited for class to start. A moment later, Levi walked out and sat in his spot.

When class started, they did their normal routine of stretching, jumping jacks, and other things, then they began their actual class lesson, which you could pick either football or mountain biking. Eren picked bikes while Levi picked football.

Eren went to the shack that held all the bikes in it and got one with the rest of the people who did bikes. He slid a helmet onto his head and fastened it. He got on the bike and took off when they were ready. For a while, he rode by himself a few feet behind everyone until a guy appeared beside him. "Hey." The guy smiled at him. Eren looked at him for a second. "Hello." He replied back. "I'm Marco." The guy said.

Eren nodded. "I'm Eren."

"Yeah, I know."

Eren couldn't help but to nibble on his bottom lip at that. God knows what he's head about him. "I think you and you're boyfriend are cute together." Marco smiled. Eren blushed darkly. "Y-You do?"

Marco nodded. "Yep. I have a boyfriend, too, so I support you two." Eren smiled softly. "Thank you." Marco nodded and they continued the ride.

-Skip To End Of Day-

"I have to go to detention, so you're going to have to walk home alone." Levi told Eren as they stood up. Eren sighed in annoyance. "You didn't pick me up this morning and now I have to walk home alone??" He muttered out quietly. Levi heard him and frowned, looking down at him. "I'm sorry about that. And you know why I have to stay."

"Yeah, I know..." Eren looked away. Levi sighed and kissed his cheek. "I'll text you tonight, OK?" He said. Eren nodded silently. Levi put his backpack over his shoulder and walked out. Eren sighed for the thousandth time that day and walked out, pulling out his phone. He was about to call Mikasa when someone stopped him. He looked up and found it was Marco.

Marco smiled softly at him. "Hey, Eren. I was wondering if you wanted to walk home together?" He asked, his voice real quiet. Eren felt unsure. He had just met him, was this really a good idea? After a mental battle with himself, he finally decided to do it. He nodded. "Alright, yeah, sure." He replied. Marco smiled. "OK, lets go." He said and they walked out together.

For a couple minutes, they just walked in silence. It was a little awkward for Eren, but he was a little nervous, so that didn't help. After they walked off the school campus, Marco glanced at Eren, then casted his eyes down to the ground, but Eren already noticed. "What is it?" He asked, the paranoid side taking over.

"Nothing, it's just... I'm sorry about Petra." Marco said, his voice small and quiet. Eren could tell he was really shy. He raised an eyebrow confused. "What do you mean? Don't apologize for her action."

"Yeah, I know, but.... she's my sister."
