ERWIN's POV:

I noticed Hanji shivering in her classroom while the students waited outside. Only ten minutes left until they could come in and go to homeroom.

My hand raised on the wooden door, knocking to let her know my presence, "Hanji, you okay?"

She wiped her glasses with a napkin, "I'm fine, Mike."

"Actually, it's Erwin." I corrected, amused by her near-sightedness.

She put her glasses on and made sure, "Oh sorry, my eyesight isn't that good without my glasses."

I chuckled, "Is your hearing going bad too?"

The scientist smiled, "Perhaps it is. Since I clearly couldn't tell that it was you."

Glancing at my phone to check the time, 'How much longer did I have until I had to go back to my office?'

Eight more minutes.

"You're wet."

"I thought that was supposed to be a good thing, Erwin." Hanji replied, bursting out with laughter as she wiped her eyes.

I groaned, "Now's not the time for sex jokes Ms. Zoe."

"Oh, are we back to formal introductions? Or am I in trouble, Principal Smith."

"Sometimes I question why I haven't fired you yet."

The brunette laughed, "Because I am your friend and former fuc-"

I cut her off as Mike walked by, wishing us a good morning. Hanji just laughing her ass off in the background.

"Looks like you've been saved by the bell."

"What bell?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as Hanji covered her mouth, "That was Mi-"

A loud, ringing noise interrupted me as the chatter of students filled the hallways. The teacher mouthed the time as I just smirked, making my way to my office.

A student caught my eye as he walked and talked with his friends.

"Eren."

The teal eyed boy stopped and glanced up at me, "Yes sir?"

"See me after homeroom, you're not in dresscode."

"Uh, yes sir."

"Told you Eren." The female next to him murmured.

"Hush Mikasa."

'Looks like someone doesn't want to admit their wrong. He has some growing up to do.'

•••

After about fifteen minutes of arguing with Eren about the dresscode, I had finally removed him. With the help of campus police, Mike and Nanaba. Poor kid needs therapy for his anger issues, I sorta feel bad for whoever ends up with him.

Glancing around to make sure nobody was nearby, I turned on my MacBook and went to Netflix, watching the newest season of The Walking Dead.

The show really went downhill since they killed off Glenn, it's just not the same. So I just ended up watching the seasons before his death, refusing to acknowledge the fact that he's no longer with us.

Someone knocked rapidly on my door as I paused the episode, switching to iNow.

"Name and business." I stated in my best professional voice.

The woman came in through the door, plopping herself into one of my chairs.

"You know, I hate doing that Erwin."

I rubbed my temple, "What are you doing here Hanji?"

"This is my planning period, I'm bored. Entertain me." The woman leaned towards me, hands folded underneath her chin, smirk plastered on her face.

"What-"

"Joking, the assembly. Remember? The whole student body is in there."

"Ah, shit." I stood up, hands rushing to fix my tie.

"Watch your profanity." My friend spoke in a high pitched voice.

"Do you ever stop quoting vines? You're twenty-two, only this generation kids do that."

"Vine is forever in my heart."

"Stop. Just stop." I begged as I walked out of my office.

"Do you remember your speech?" She asked, I nodded in response.

One of the women from the office rushed up to me, holding some papers in her hands, "Mr. Smith, we have some applicants for the Secretary position. First one's name is Isa-"

"Okay, I'll look at them later." Acknowledging her as I stepped into the gym, the whole student body in quiet as I walked towards the center.

"I am Principal Erwin Smith, and today, we're going to talk about your career options after you graduate." I stated, glancing at Hanji to see her doing an obscene gesture behind me.

A/N: Debated on whether or not I should do a double update, but I was feeling nice today. So tada~ a chapter in Erwin's point of view. Hope ya liked it!
