Anger Brought Us Together. [ERERI/RIREN]

Chapter Four。

『Eren's POV』

As I wandered through the school hallways, on my way to my locker, I could not stop thinking about what had happened in that elevator with Levi. It was just so sudden, and unexpected. Especially from someone like him. He does not seem like someone who would want to hang out with someone so weird as me, and young as me.

"Oh, hey Eren!" I heard my best friend call for me.

Armin. He's been there for me since we were children. 8 years ago, when we were both 7 years of age. I had found him being beat up by some wanna be punks, thinking they were cool for beating up a younger boy.

My step sister, Mikasa, and I, had helped Armin. Of course, I scared the bullies away. Though, Armin tried to tell me it was all Mikasa scaring them away... Nah, it was me.

Us three have been a group since then. Barely ever leaving each other's sights. Mikasa definitely makes sure I'm in her sight 24/7, and goes crazy when she cannot see me.

"Hey, dude!" I replied to the blonde, as I stuffed my locker up with my binders and homework, and grabbing my lunch money.

"Have you seen Mikasa?" He asked.

I shrugged. Weird, I actually haven't seen her all day.

"I have not. She might have stayed home, sick, without letting me know." I replied, quite confused myself.

He shrugged as well, and we made our way to the crowded lunch room. Students shouted, throwing trash at each other, calling each other names.

High school.

I fucking hate high school.

"We should eat Mexican today." Armin said, and practically drooled over the sight of the Mexican burrito that sat on a paper plate on the Mexican food selection bar.

"That actually doesn't sound too bad." I replied, and picked up the burrito and sat it on his tray, and grabbed myself another burrito and placed it down on my tray.

We both grabbed some yummy side foods, and pop, and payed quickly for our food so we could make it to our seat before someone else did.

Our table has have a history of being stolen from us many times, and when we tried to get it back once... Well, it didn't end well. The boys were older, taller, and stronger and it didn't take much to take us two scrawny boys down. Times like that, I wish we had Mikasa.

Thinking of Mikasa, I've noticed we haven't seen her in a few days. I did notice her hanging out with that one blonde girl lately. What was her name? Annie! Yes, Annie. I wonder if that's where she's at now...

"Eren?" Armin's voice shook me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry, just thinking." I mumbled, clearing my throat.

"Well welcome back, but you might wanna look at our table." He gestured over to our table, with his hand that was not being used to hold his tray.

I looked at our table and saw. Great. The big guys were there, again.

"Let's not bother them. Let's just sit out in the hallway again." Armin said quietly, and started to walk to the exit door, that lead to the hallway.

"No. I've had enough of them and their bullshit. I'm going to go talk to them." I angrily said, and furrowed my eyebrows, as a passed my tray to Armin quickly, and making my way over to the table, ignoring the yells from Armin.

"Hey!" I called out to the fuck heads, "Stop stealing our table, and sit at your own!"

All 4 of them stopped what they were doing, and stared at me for about 5 seconds, and then they all began to burst out laughing. Laughing? I'm being serious here, and they have the decency to laugh?
