Stars - Levi Ackerman Modern AU (COMPLETE) [#Wattys2018]

The First Day

A/N: So this is a modern version of Attack on Titan I guess. This is the first time I've ever done anything like this. A couple years ago, someone on Quotev told me I should do one because they liked my anime one shots posted there. I have been dubbed The World's Strongest Procrastinator, so here I am, doing this years later. I'm not the biggest fan of reader inserts, because it's a pain in my opinion. When I read them, I never sub my name in, I just pretend that I'm a character named Y/n. Weird, I know, but I believe that make believe is very fun, especially when the real world is dull in comparison. In this story, your current identity doesn't exist, instead, you are going to become one with the universe and have the name (McKenzie) and characteristics that it bestows upon you. This may seem to be a turn off, but don't knock it till you try it, my friend. Become one with the story:

"McKenzie!" Eren ran up to me, panting. "Let's walk to school together."

"You're a little late," Armin laughed. "We're just about a block away from the school. Why're you so late? It's our first day of our first year as high schoolers. I thought you'd be a bit more excited."

Mikasa appeared behind me. "Eren overslept. He then forgot his lunch money at the house, so we had to run back and get it. We aren't late, so there isn't a problem."

I walked the rest of the way to high school with my three best friends. I hadn't known Mikasa, Eren, and Armin as long as others may know their best friends, but our bond was just as strong, if not stronger.

I fiddled with my sweatshirt strings as we neared the high school. I was nervous. The transition from junior high to high school was a big one and I didn't know if I was ready. Eren smiled at me and then my fears melted away. This school year would be one above others.

"Oi, watch where you're going, brat," a guy barked at me, his blue eyes burning intensely.

Eren and Armin helped me up as Mikasa gave the guy a death glare. Her stare said, "Try that again and I'll kill you."

The guy scoffed as he simply said, "Freshmen," and walked away. What the actual hell was his problem? Did the midget have a toothpick shoved up his ass?

I walked to first period, AP world history with Armin, Mikasa, and Eren. Our schedules were all pretty close with the exception of two classes: math and band. The only one of them with my math class was Armin and that was only because it was AP calculus.

Now I know some people may think I'm crazy, taking any AP math class, but I think it's the opposite. Some people hate math, despise it with a burning passion. I, on the other hand, see it as an obstacle to overcome in order to get through school. I'd take stat my sophomore year and then be done with math for the rest of my high school career. Seemed easier to me than having math for three or four years of high school.

"McKenzie!" the teacher snapped, "are you here?"

I snapped out of my thoughts. "Yes ma'am."

"Brat," I heard a familiar voice say under their breath.

"What are you doing here?" Mikasa shot.

The teacher put her hand on the shoulder of the guy from earlier and smiled. "This is Levi. He is a senior."

"What's a senior doing in a freshman class?" Mikasa made a jab at Levi.

Levi's glare cut down Mikasa. "I'm the SILC for this class. That basically means that I'm a senior who ever so graciously decided to help Mrs. Manchester teach your class."

Mrs. Manchester smiled, "Yes. SILCs are a great help to teachers. Now I expect you all to treat Levi as if he were a real teacher. From now on, any disrespectful actions will be handled as if you were doing them to a teacher. Do you all understand?"
