Erens POV

I keep glancing to the left of me too see her face, god it's so beautiful. Hopefully she hasn't seen me look because that'd be more embarrassing then I'd ever imagine. The last kid to come in closes the door loudly and a women in the middle of the room flops over from her chair and down to the floor. Everyone looks at her shockingly, just to be surprised to see her bounce right up from the floor with a huge grin on her face. I assume this is Ms.Zoe, she looks around the class, her eyes scream awe at the sight of us.
"Okay my little scientists, my name is Ms.Zoe and I am your chemistry teacher! You will learn about all the elements and such. Any questions?" She looks around the class to see if anyone has any questions that need to be answered. With no one raising their hands she proceeds to what she was going to do.
"Alrighty, now I'll call role and see who's all here, and we'll play a little game to know each of us a little better." She called everyone's names but I caught the name of the girl sitting next to me, it was Mikasa Ackerman. God even her name is gorgeous.....WAIT A SECOND, her and Mr.Ackerman have the same last name, hmm weird. But everyone else was called in the class, even horse faced Jean was here. I keep seeing him eyeball Mikasa and that kinda got annoying.

We were finally gonna start this game Ms.Zoe wanted to play, so we had to start off and say are name and tell one thing interesting about us. Jean was up first not surprising, he starts to gloat about how he's the best on the football team and that he has girls crawling for him left and right. He even winks at Mikasa which definitely pisses me off, but why should I get mad we're not dating, I barely know her. People go left and right telling the class their name and what's interesting about them. A few people I picked up on were Annie Leonhart who said that she was exponentially well at fighting with a serious tone which put a few people on edge. Then Marco who said he wanted to be a police man when he grew up. Finally it was Mikasa who said that she moved from up north to down here. So now I definitely know that she's related to Mr.Ackerman, then after Mikasa sat down Ms.Zoe looked in my direction and told me to speak.
"Umm hi my names Eren, and there's nothing interesting about me." I said trying to get out of whatever this little game was. But Ms.Zoe wasn't having it.
"Eren stop being so modest and tell us."
"Fine, I play guitar a lot and have a few songs down pat."
"Oh really?" Ms.Zoe asks while walking to her storage closet and pulling out a guitar and amp. She looks my way with a grin on her face.
"Care to play for us?"
"Uh i don't know I'm a bit ru-"
"I doubt Eren could even strum a guitar let alone play a song." Jean states while having a smile on his face the size of the grand canon. I stand up and walk over to Ms.Zoe and ask for the guitar and a stool. I plug the amp up to the guitar and since I don't have a pic this'll be a little bit more complicated.
"Alright, don't judge me if I sound bad." I say place the guitar on my legs. I look up to see all the students looking at me to see how I'll do. I get a little nervous but start playing trying to impress the raven haired girl sitting in front of me.
(Insert song)

"And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am"

I come up from looking at the floor through the whole song to see everyone stunned at shocked at what they just witnessed, even Jean looked stunned. I start getting a little red and give Ms.Zoe her guitar back, and go back to my seat. Ms.Zoe is just as stunned as the rest of the class, she starts to clap and so does the rest of the class except for Jean he seemed a bit jealous that the world wasn't revolving around him for  the first time in forever.
"That was glorious Eren amazing job." Ms.Zoe says as the clapping lowers down.
"Thanks, it was nothing." I lay my head down on my desk still breathing a little heavy when I hear a light tap on my desk. I look up to see Mikasa blushing a little and looking at me.
"Hey Eren, that was amazing the best I've heard. That was just...wow." She says and now blushing a little more. I look at her feeling my face get hotter then it's ever been.
"Uh thanks means a lot. Names Mikasa right?" I ask even though I know the answer.
"Yeah, I just moved down here with my brother Levi."
"Oh that's cool I-"
I was cut off by the lunch bell and everyone got up and walked out of class to go to the cafeteria.
"I guess I'll see you around Eren." Mikasa says as she gets up from her desk and walks out
"Yeah, I'll see you around" I mumble to myself getting up from my seat and walking into the student infested hallway. God that was nerve racking, can't believe I didn't mess up. Well I gotta go tell Armin about what happened.
