Your shift was now over and you were walking home exhausted. You still had math and history homework and a French quiz to study for. You sighed as your eyes grew heavy as the sun began to set in the distance.

You arrived home after awhile and headed straight upstairs to get your work done. After the struggle with math and history, you finally got some studying in for French. You sighed in relief and then flopped onto your bed.

"Honey. Do you want some food? It's ten o'clock," your mother said knocking at the door.

"No. I ate something at work don't worry. You can have what's left," you called.

"Alright," she said and walked off.

You lied. You haven't eaten since that apple Jean gave you. You're stomach grumbled and you curled into a little ball and began to fall asleep.

/Time skip to morning\

You woke up to the sound of your alarm. You groaned and shut it off. You then stood up to get dressed. You grabbed a pair of jeans and a baggy white shirt and you put on some worn out sneakers. You then grabbed your bag and began to race out of the house.

"Wait!" Your mom called.

"Sorry mom. Can't eat. Gotta get to school," you called back and then ran off.

You always left early so you didn't have to deal with your father in the mornings. It was always a hassle.

You arrived at school and panted a bit. You then walked in and headed to the library. You sat down on a bean bag and was out like a light.

After awhile you felt someone shake your shoulder.

"No. Five more minutes," you whined groggily.

"Then you'll be late to class," a familiar voice said.

"Jean. Please," you complained.

Jean huffed and then picked you up and threw you over his shoulder.

"Jean!"

"Hey. You're going to be late if you keep sleeping," he hissed. His gaze then softened. "Did you not get enough sleep last night? I hope you'll stay awake to help support me for tryouts."

"Oh yeah. And that's when again?"

"Are you deaf? After school today," Jean said and smiled.

Your eyes widened. It was Tuesday and you had work. "Um....I'll figure it out."

"Okay," he said and then set you down. "Now go to class. Armin has been looking for you."

"Alright," you said and then your stomach growled.

"Uh...did you eat," Jean asked.

"Um....no," you said and stared down at the ground.

Jean sighed and then grabbed something from his pocket and held it out for you. "Here. It's a breakfast bar."

"You don't have to give this to me," you said.

"Just take it already," Jean said.

You took it and gave him a small smile. "Thank you Jean. I am very grateful."

Jean blushed and then rubbed the back of his neck. "Well next time remember to eat. You could get sick if you don't."

You nodded and then raced off to get to class.

Awwwww       Jean blushed XD
