Jean POV

Mikasa had to go home early because she was ill. I was left by myself so I was pretty bored. I decided to take a walk around the school park and more.
It was 7pm and I was at my local park just reading "Lockwood and Co" on the bench. I hadn't heard back from Mika so I decided to ring her.
I got my phone out and started to dial her number. The bitter cold danced and bit at my fingers, making my whole body freeze over. The phone kept ringing and no one answered. I tried three more times when I got an answer.
"Hello? Who is this" It was of a man's voice, a bit older than Eren. He had a strong voice, and sounded as if he could be her dad.
"Hi er, it's Jean. I'm Mikasas friend from school. Could I please speak to her?" I shivered in anticipation.
"She's asleep. I could pass a message on?" He seemed genuine.
"Um I was just wondering if I could come over to check on her? We live quite close so it would be easy for me I guess"
"That's fine. You must be trusted as she only shares numbers with those she's close with. She's asleep still. You could still check on her though"
"Thank you Mr Ackerman, see you soon" I hung up and sat down for a few seconds waiting for my heartbeat to slow down. I chuckled to myself at how nervous I was, then slowly walked up to her house.
