Attack On Titan Online (Attack on Titan Computer Game AU)

Chapter 4

After having a quick lunch, Jean entered the ICT room again, just as the two students were leaving. They ran when they saw him, laughing as they went.

"What was that about?" Jean wondered

There were other students on the other computers, but Jean ignored them as he went back to his own computer. But he knew something wasn't right when Attack on Titan Online had already been opened up. Although he was confused, he decided not to bother questioning anything and get back to playing with Marco.

HorseFace: hey :)

Jean waited for a reply.

HorseFace: Marco?

"Maybe he's still having lunch", thought Jean

He waited for a while, until to his surprise, he saw Marco's avatar flying nearby

HorseFace: Marco! Hey!

Marco's avatar stopped.

FreckledJesus: What now?

HorseFace: u ok?

FreckledJesus: no, why would you even bother asking

HorseFace: hey, what did I do?

FreckledJesus: you know damn well what you did

HorseFace: no?

FreckledJesus: look back at the chat "Horseface" remember any of it?

Marco's avatar flew away.

He felt a sharp pain in his heart as he read Marco's message. Him, of all people, calling Jean Horseface. Marco was the one person in Jean's life that made him him feel like he wasn't just a waste of space, like he actually mattered. Jean scrolled up through the chat, only then he noticed that his username had been changed to Horseface. But that couldn't have been the reason why Marco was upset. Scrolling up some more, Jean discovered messages to Marco that he didn't remember sending, full of horrible comments. The messages went on, seeming to never end.

"Who would say crap like this to someone like Marco?" Jean wondered

That's when he saw the username of the sender. "NotAHorse".

Jean stared in horror at the computer screen.

"That...", Jean whispered, "wasn't me"

Marco, the one person Jean considered to be his friend, now Jean had no one. Jean frantically typed an apology to Marco.

HorseFace: Marco, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! But that wasn't me!

FreckledJesus: Of course it wasn't. See ya Jean.

-FreckledJesus has disconnected-

Jean covered his face in his hands, sighing in frustration, holding back tears. But his grief soon turned to rage as he clenched his fists and brought his hands down hard on the desk. He stormed out of the classroom, looking for the students that cost him his only friend.

Bursting through the school doors, he charged over to the football pitch where he saw both of them.

"Hey!" yelled Jean as he marched over to them

All the students on the football pitch stopped their game and looked over to them.

"Hey Horseface", said the first with a smirk

"It was you. You're the two that sent those messages to Marco!"

"Who's Marco? Your boyfriend?" said the second one
