Wherever I Go

Chapter Four

Mikasa's POV

Yawning, I turn to my side and open my eyes to read my alarm clock. It read 7:17 AM. Quickly, I raise up and rub my sleepy eyes. "Great, I'm gonna be late on my first day of school..." I mumbled and threw my covers off me, then rushed to find the school uniform Levi picked up when we first arrived here.

"Mikasa! Are you ready?" I heard Eren call after knocking a few times from behind my front door.

"No!" I answered as I grabbed my uniform from my dresser.

"Okay, I'll be in my room!" he replied then seemed to go back inside him apartment.

"Okay!" I replied, unfolding my uniform to get ready and put on.

My uniform was a brown jacket with a normal white shirt, a navy blue tie with a matching navy blue skirt and optional shoes, and mine were just some black slip-ons with white socks that almost reached my knee. "I hope I don't stand out that much..."

I sighed, decided I wouldn't eat breakfast this morning. I started putting some stuff into my bookbag and zipped it closed, then slung one strap around my shoulder. I also grabbed my gym bag, that had my gym uniform in it. Then, I grabbed my phone and put it in my jacket pocket.

"Bye Levi!" I said as I came to the door, ready to leave. I glanced up at the clock which read 7:35 AM.

"Bye!" he replied from his bedroom, where he was probably working on.

I left my room, going to knock on Eren's door. "I'm ready!" I informed, in a hurry to get to school. I don't want to be late on my first day.

Then Eren answered the door and closed it behind him. "Okay, let's go." he said, pulling his bookbag over his shoulder. He was holding a piece of toast in his mouth. His uniform matched mine, minus the skirt.

"How are we getting there?" I asked, walking by his side down the hall.

"It's not that far, I usually drive there, so I'll drive us." he answered, pulling his keys from his pants pocket and finishing his breakfast.

We got into his car and he pulled out of the parking lot, on the way to school. He wasn't speeding, but he was driving as fast as he could to get to school on time.

When we got there and he parked, it was 7:56 AM. "We need to hurry!" I said, "I don't wanna be late on my first day."

"Alright." Eren said as he caught up to me after getting out of his car. Then, I grabbed his arm, then pulled him as I ran towards the school entrance. "Hey wait!" he yelled, not being able to keep up with my speed. I slowed down a bit so he could keep up.

Luckily, me and Eren arrived on time after putting our stuff in our lockers, out of breath. As soon as we took our seats in homeroom, the bell rung.

"Thank God..." I said, releived. Then, I pulled out my schedule that I received from Levi.

"Let's see what classes we have together." Eren said, then leaned over his desk to read mine, "We have Science, English, Gym and Art together."

"Okay..." I said, reading over the names of teachers and room numbers, "Hope I don't get lost."

"Don't worry, if you get lost me or Armin will show you around." he said, causing the blonde siting in front of him to turn around.

"Oh, hi." Armin greeted and smiled in my direction.

After that, we stayed in homeroom for a while then changed classes, me having English with Eren first. "Mr. Woerman is one of those boring teachers..." Eren informed me as we walked in his class. The teacher, Mr. Woerman, told me which seat I can sit in. After his boring class, I had Math with Mrs. Brnzeska next, and Eren had something else.

In her class, I didn't have many people I know, besides Krista and Annie. I've never talked to Christa and Annie doesn't seem to talk much.

Mrs. Brnzeska allowed me to sit in between the two girl's desks. "Hi!" Krista greeted in a low voice as I sat down.

"Hi." I returned the greeting and set my binder down on my desk and hung my bookbag on the back of my chair.

"You're Mikasa, right?" Krista asked, "I heard that you were new."

"Yeah." I answered.

"Awesome, we should be friends!" she suggested and smiled.

"Okay..." I smiled. Yes, I made a friend! I thought to myself, glad that I wouldn't be friendless.

"Uh, you're Annie, right?" I asked the blonde, who was organizing her stuff.

"Hm?" she asked, looking up and pushing her blonde bangs out of her face, "Oh, yeah." she answered.

"HEY ANNIE, HEADS UP!" Some girl with short, curly tan hair yelled from across the room, then threw a paper ball at Annie, hitting her straight in the face. Everyone in the class began laughing. Annie just sighed and tossed the paper ball into the trash can that was next to her. "Stupid Hitch..." she mumbled to herself. I guessed Hitch was the girl who threw the paper ball at her.

Then the teacher came into the class room and we began working in some math textbooks. When her class was over, I had gym class. I grabbed my gym bag from my locker then headed to the locker room, following Krista. We all got changed and headed into the gym.

Everyone was sitting on the front row of the bleachers. "Just wait until Coach Shadis catches her..." some boy said to his friend sitting next to him. They were talking about Sasha, who was eating a small bag of potato chips. In gym. "She's got some guts..." the other boy replied.

Eren then came up and sat next to me, as the gym coach came from the boys locker room. "Alright, we're playing dodgeball today!" the coach announced, then looked over at Sasha. "She's dead..." someone whispered from behind me.

"Are you eating in my class?" coach asked her, "Why?"

"U-uh... yeah, I didn't have breakfast this morning..." Sasha answered, "Want some?" she asked, offering him some of her potato chips.

The coach just stood there for a moment, staring at her. You could tell he was pissed. "Run 50 laps around the gym, now!" he demanded, then snatched the bag of chips from her. Sasha just groaned and then began running her laps.

Then, after the coach picked team captains, everyone chose their teams. I was on the red teams side, which was Eren's team, and some others were on the yellow teams side, which was Reiner's team.

When the whistle blew, everyone rushed to grab a ball and then the game began.
