Waking Up in the Real World

Chapter 18 (version Levi)

Lunch rolled around after Levi and I had been to the four core classes. I joked with Levi about how much Hanji loved biology and how astonished she was at the technology advancement of microscopes.

Moblit seemed delighted as well, but not so much when it came to reining the mad scientist in and keeping her from running in circles around the classroom.

Levi opened his packed lunch to find a small packet of goldfish, a banana, sour patch kids, and chocolate chip cookies (homemade from scratch).

He looked at the candy and desperately tried to open the bag. I giggled and reached over to open it for him, our fingers brushing past each others.

I took the packet and opened it without a problem.

"Wait. Are these...?"

"Yep. Little people shaped candy. Its your turn to be the titan. Even though you could never be tall enough."

He glared at me, then smirking, he bit one of the people in half. Vertically.

Okay, now I was triggered.

I smuggly grabbed two. The first one, I ate everything but the head. The second, I ate the bottom half and spit the top half out.

Levi was officially pissed. I have never seen him so furious before.

Of course, we were then interrupted by a slightly frightened Nathan. The same guy Levi had pinned earlier. But now he was accompanied by three others I didn't recognize.

"Oh, what a surprise. I thought you would have dumped her by now."

I sighed. "Come on, Nate. At least I can get a boyfriend. You couldn't even if you tried."

"Well duh. That's because I'm not a gay like you."

I looked at him, genuinely confused. "That made zero sense, dude. Especially considering I am dating a guy right now."

"Dating?" Levi questioned.

"Yes, Levi. Don't you remember asking me out yesterday?"

"No, I don't recall-"

I stomped on his foot. This was our chance to get the bullies to stop for good.

He rolled his eyes and wrapped an arm around my waist. "I mean, yeah. We're together."

"Are you serious?" Nathan asked.

The bell rang.

"Well, I guess we'll continue this conversation after school. 1:45. Behind the gym. Be there on time or else."

"Oh, believe me. I can't wait to take you on. I'll even be there early."

I facepalmed. "Levi, sweety, please just stick to beating people up."

The guys left to go to their next classes. It was time for Levi and I to go to art.
