Chapter 4: Meet up

I sit in the coffee shop with a cup of tea, I take a sip, 'it's not bad' I think. The waitress walks over to my table.

"Do you want some company?" She asks sweetly.

"I'm waiting for someone" I respond in monotone. The waitress makes a pouting face then flounces away. "Tch"

"Aww is the dwarf mad that the waitress keeps flirting with him" I hear a teasing voice behind me say. I turn around to see the new girl with her hands on her hips and a teasing grin on her face.

"Do I know you?" I ask slightly confused.

She sighs and takes off her red glasses and a memory of a younger version of her flashes through my mind. "You figured it out yet shorty?" She asks putting her glasses back on and plopping down in the chair across from me.

"So your the newbie at school I've heard so much talk about" I say boredly crossing my legs and taking another sip of tea.

She sighs "yup.. what have you heard about me?" She asks curiously

"Oh this and that" I respond. She rolls her eyes at my vague answer and I decide to elaborate a little just to tease her "something about you beating Petra in a duel during tryouts"

She grins "well at least that one isn't wrong" she says. I raise an eyebrow not really expecting that answer from her. "That's part of the reason I wanted to talk to you" she says tracing her finger around a rip in her jeans.

"You don't think she will let you on the team cause you beat her and she will feel threatened by you being around" I guess.

She nods "Erwin told you?" She asks unperturbed by the accuracy of my guess.

"Ya he told me yesterday, you don't think I would see around Petra's little tricks?"

She shrugs "she probably would have made up a bull crap story about how she won but even though I was good I was so rude to her that I don't deserve to be on the team" she says I nod that sounded like something Petra would say "that or she would pull some kind of favor cause she's your girlfriend" Tiny finishes.

"I'm not stupid, I'm not gonna fall for some dumbass guilt trip" I say

She laughs 'she has a cute laugh' I think 'wait.. what?..'

"fair enough. I know your dating her cause the idiots in school think you should, not cause you love her" she says

'How the hell did she know that?....'

"Anyway how have you been doing these last couple of years?" She asks

We continue to talk for a few hours, we move from one topic to another with ease. It was nice to talk with her again, I felt myself relaxing in her company. I found that I was glad to have someone to just  have a casual conversation with.

We talk for the better part of 3 hours, I had even managed to make him laugh a couple of times. When we decide we better part ways he flags down the waitress to pay for our drinks. Once he gets the tab I steal it from him and pay "my treat" I say.

"Don't be stupid" he says reaching for it

I hold it away from him "first of all, I still owe you, and second I invited you here so it's my job to pay" I say I turn him around by guiding his shoulders and give him a little shove towards the door "fair is fair, see ya Levi"

"Tch" I hear him say as he walks away. I laugh and set down the tab on the table. I yawn slightly and start walking to my aunt and uncle's apartment.

I see him walking in front of me and speed up so I'm walking next to him "long time not see" I say mockingly.

"Why are you following me Tiny?" He asks not turning to look at me.

"I'm not following you, I'm walking home" I say as I turn to walk into the lobby of my apartment complex, I notice that he turns with me. "Huh who knew we lived in the same complex" I say as I get into the elevator and press the button for the 3rd floor. When he doesn't move to press another button I also say "and that we live on the same floor"

"Hmph ya it's weird how long have you been living here?" He asks walking out of the elevator with me.

"I just got here last weekend"

"Who are you living with?"

"My aunt and uncle Sasha and Connie Springer"

He stops outside the door next to mine and sighs "Welcome to the complex then, neighbor" he says before unlocking the door and walking inside.

I unlock my door 'I bet all of the single girls back at school would be jealous if they knew... Petra would be pissed' I think snorting softly.

I hang up my keys and walk into my room, I flop face first on my bed after judo flipping my bag onto the sheets next to me.

I sit down at my desk and pull out my homework. As I sit there staring boredly at the papers in front of me, my mind drifts back to my conversation with (Y/N) and how she would laugh like a little kid at my cold remarks.. I shake my head "what is wrong with me?.." I growl to myself.

My phone rings and I pick it up without hesitation glad to have a distraction "hello?" I ask in my default monotone

"LEVI! I didn't expect you to pick up so quickly babe!" I hear the squealing voice of Petra call to me through the phone, I hold it away from my ear as she speaks.

'I can't keep this damn act up much longer' I think as I speak with Petra.
