The Trainee

Chapter 13

After signing the papers in Commander Smith's office everything began to move like clockwork. The boys helped you move your things to the barracks, Shadis gave you a training schedule, and by the end of the day you were notified that you were going to be on Levi's squad for the time being.

After dinner you stood outside the barracks and listened to the chatter coming from inside. What if they hate you too? You sat on one of the steps and looked at the stars. 'I hope you boys can see this.' you thought to yourself imagining you were speaking to your mom. 'Wherever you are.'

"Whatcha moping around out here for?" you turned and saw Sasha standing in the doorway. "Come inside and meet the others." she picked you up and pushed you inside. "Hey guys, this is the chick I was telling you about. [F/n] [L/n] from the 108th."

"Wow Sash," a voice from one of the top bunks called out. "I thought she was just one of your imaginary friends."

"Haha Ymir." Sasha pulled you around the room introducing you to each girl.

"Good to have another lady in the cabin." the one named Christa said.

You mumbled thanks and went to your bunk. "So you're a top?" this one was Ymir. Christa playfully slapped Ymir's arm and told her to leave you alone.

You got comfortable and noticed the one introduced as Mikasa watching you. You waved a small hello and you saw her roll over and face the wall. Sasha's face appeared at the end of your bunk. "Don't worry about her. She's really nice once you get to know her."

You hoped so. You honestly didn't want anymore problems.

"Wake up sleepy head!!" a cheerful voice jarred you awake and you tried not to throw a punch in the direction of the sound. "You have training with Shadis this morning!" when your eyes opened Sasha was peering over the edge of your bunk smiling.

"Are you always this energetic?" you asked groggily.

"It's witchcraft quite honestly." Ymir shrugged pulling a shirt on. "I hear you have training with Shadis this morning [F/n]. Best get a move on."

'Shit!' You forgot.That got you out of bed in a flash. You skipped breakfast and ran straight for the field. You barely made it as Shadis came in to view. You saluted as he got closer. "Well [L/n]," he bellowed. "At least you know how to keep a schedule."

You had to wait a full hour for Samson to show up looking like he overslept and was not completely sure if he was on the right planet. "Ackerman."

"I know Shadis, I know. Just tell me how many laps."

~~~

Samson ended up having to run 35 laps. You ran drills with Shadis and by lunch you were both dismissed to do chores. On the way to the mess hall Samson walked beside you. "So my dad says that you're his team now."

You give him a side glance. "So I've been told."

"It's a good thing you have some friends on the team already." He said throwing his arm around you.

"I keep forgetting you're on that 'friend' nonsense."

"Hardy har [F/n], but my dad wants to talk to you after lunch. I can take you to his office if you want."

"Sounds like you're trying to jump chores again."

He gasped pretending to be offended. "How dare you? That is exactly what I am trying to do and I will not be made fun of for it."

You scoffed as he pulled you after him to the mess hall where after grabbing your trays, joined Sasha and her friends. (Really Simon joined and you weren't chased off for once.) "How many laps was it this time Ackerman?" Christa teased.
