Imperfectly Perfect

Chapter Two

Jean walked to school. "Jean!" called out a familiar voice. Jean turned his head around to see a familiar face. It was Marco Bodt, his freckled and supportive friend. "Wait for me!" Marco was running, trying to catch up with the distance between him and Jean.

Behind Marco was Reiner Braun and Bertholdt Hoover. Both of them are friends with Jean but they both didn't really bothered to catch up with Jean.

"Jean! Why weren't you present during basketball yesterday?" Marco asked. "Eh, Who won anyway?" Jean replies. "Brigade Team, sadly. Humanity's Strongest is nothing without you, Jean!" Marco says.

"What do you mean?" Jean asks. "Well you see Jean, you are suited to be a leader, I bet you will be a leader when it's our senior year!" Marco smiles.

Later, as soon as they reached class, their teacher, Mr Nile looks at Jean. "I am going to reshuffle your seats. Jaeger, please exchange your seat with Bodt," he continues. The whole class had a heavy dislike of Mr Nile as he has a bad habit of calling the students by their last names. Kirschtein, Bodt, Jaeger, Ackerman, Carolina, Braun, Hoover, Arlert and the list goes on and on.

Jean's anger faded more into his emotions. He tried not to punch Eren, he clenched his fist and looked out the window while Eren sat next to him, replacing Marco.

"Hey Horseface," Eren said, looking emotionless at Jean. "Shut up, you suicidal blockhead," Jean hissed back, with a not so loud tone. "Kirschtein!" the teacher called out. "Yes, Teacher?" Jean responded.

"Is there anything you'd like to say and share it to the whole class?" the teacher asked, seriously. The whole class turned and looked at Jean. "No sir, if you mind, I'd listen if you'd proceed what you were saying," Jean answered.

"This is unlike you to answer like that because it doesn't sound so rude yet slightly polite," Mr Nile scratched the back of his head. "Okay class, for your next assignment, you must perform a song!" Mr Nile said, trying to sound happy.

Mr Nile read out the pairs that he planned. "Bodt, you will pair up with Hoover. Ackerman with Arlert, Leonhardt with Braun, Wagner with Coralina, Springer and Blouse, and uh... Who am I missing here," he paused. "Ah yes, Krista, you will pair up with Ymir," Nile finished.

Eren and Jean both looked at each other, in a clueless way. "Eren," Jean said. "Was your last name mentioned?" Jean asked. "No, and I am very sure that you're last name wasn't mentioned as well," Eren said. "W-what?" Eren stuttered.

"Oh finally, before I forget! Kirschtein will have to pair up with Jaeger," Nile snapped his fingers. "Class dismissed," he said as he walked out of the class.

Jean's eyes widen. "Me? Pairing up with you?" Jean turned to Eren. "Well, at least I'm pairing up with my roommate in hell soon," Eren said smiling. "YOU IDIOT!" Jean got up and grabbed Eren by the Eren's collar.

"Listen here, you suicidal blockhead! There is no way we would even work together if we already know nothing is going to work it out! We hate each other!" Jean shouted. "Hey!" Mikasa approaches.

"Mikasa, fuck off! You have nothing to do with this," Eren said to Mikasa. "Hey you bastard!" Jean shouted again. "You should respect her more," Jean continued. "You should respect your mom!" Eren shouted back.

Mikasa sighs and walks away as Armin went to comfort her.
