I woke up to sunlight beaming down on my face... I opened my eyes as everything was a little fuzzy due to the sunlight making my eyes burn. As I let my eyes readjust I watch as my curtains sway beautifully with the wind... I let out a long yawn as I began stretching.

"I guess I should get ready" I say to myself as my voice came out raspy and soft. I walked into the bathroom and looked at my long golden brown hair all over the place. Knots and tangles wherever you look along with frizziness.

I sighed knowing brushing my hair is going to hurt. I began brushing through the tangles as I squeezed my eyes shut from the little pains shot through my skull. My hair was really long, it went down to my butt. I inherited my brown hair from my mother and my green eyes from my father...

As I finished brushing my hair I grabbed a rubber band to pull my hair back into a high ponytail. I looked at myself in the mirror and my face was oily. I turned on the faucet and began washing my face. I watched as little beads of water ran down my face and hit my feet.

I patted my face dry with a hand towel and walked over to my dresser. Unbuttoning my shirt I thought of the wall break two years ago... I hope it doesn't happen again. This world is too unpredictable for me to even say it's sure humanity will win against the titans.

I sigh as I pull a gray oversized sweater on. Along with a pair of black leggings and black leather ankle boots. I need to go in the town market and pick up some food for myself since my mother won't be here until next week.

jogging down the stairs I grabbed my money and keys. I make sure I lock up the house before I go and head to the market.

It was kinda cloudy but the sun still shines brilliantly. I take my time walking to the market as I enjoy watching parents smile and laugh with their kids. Even in a world full of titans people still decided to have children. I giggle to myself as I walk through the market looking for some vegetables and some salt.

I grabbed some carrots, tomatoes, peas, onions, a little bit of salt, and some cooked chicken. We already have rice so I'm good with that.

"Mam would you like a basket to carry all that?" an old lady asked me nicely with a warm smile. "Yes please. Thank you" I say and she just gives me a polite nod and gives me the basket. I give her a small smile and walked away.

The clouds began to block out the sunlight and they became a dark grey. "you have to be kidding me" I say under my breath as a few raindrops fall from the sky. One hits the tip of my nose, I began to run home. I really don't feel like soaking my clothes...

As I run I feel the rain getting heavier and heavier. I pushed my way through people but eventually my clumsiness kicked in. I slipped on a pile of mud. I shut my eyes waiting for the impact but it didn't happen.

I opened my eyes to find a boy around my age holding all my body weight with one arm. I quickly released myself from his grasp. "Uh thank you" I say as the rain pounds down on us. "Tch" he clicked his tongue and walked away.

I started running again till I made it home. I ran up my steps and began to get out my keys. But the second I did I dropped them in a pile of dirty water. "damn it" I curse under my breath.

I go to the puddle but seem to find nothing. "No no no come on you have to be here" I basically plea to the puddle. "great just great" I throw my hands up in the air.

I sit down on my steps as the rain just pounds down on me. I can not believe this is happening. I put my face in the palms of my hands till I hear a low voice call to me. "What the hell are you doing?!" the person called to me.

I looked to towards the sound of the voice and it was the boy from earlier standing on his porch looking at me like I'm crazy... Wait? he lives next to me! "Uh... I'm locked out of my house" I yell back and I could see that he thinks I'm an idiot.

He stands there for a few moments then speaks. "you can stay at my house." he states. I feel my cheeks heat up as I shake my head. "No it's alright! I'll find a way in some how" I refuse. I just met him I can't burden him with me staying in his house.

He sighs and steps out into the rain. He was wearing gray sweatpants and a black t-shirt. He walked over to me and picked me up taking my basket with him. I'm dangling over his shoulder as his arm firmly around me. "what the hell are you doing?! put my down right now!" I yell as he lets out yet again another "tch".

I accept defeat and set my elbows on his back as I held my head up. He walked up the steps of his porch then opened the door with the hand that was recently holding me.

The house is spotless and very warm. He sets the basket down on a table then places me down on the floor. "Ugh i'm all wet, and you're soaking. You can't stay in those clothes you'll get a cold" he said as I just stared at him blankly. "I don't have any other clothes so I don't really have any options" I shrugged and he rolls his eyes.

"I'll lend you mine just don't get them filthy" he said or demanded I can't really tell. He began walking up the stairs of his house. I looked around for a towel so I could wipe up the puddle of water I'm creating on the tile of his kitchen but I couldn't find one... "humph" I pout as I put a hand on my waist.

"why are you pouting?" he asked in a bored tone and hands me a pair of black sweat pants and a white t-shirt. I'm shorter than him so it's going to be kinda big... "t-thank you" I stammer as I look around. "Uh where is the bathroom?" I ask sheepishly.

He points to a hallway behind me. "through there, take the first left" he stated bluntly. I nodded as I walked down the hallway and took my first left.

I walked into the bathroom and shut the door. I began to strip down out of my wet soggy clothes and into the boys clothes... I took off my shoes and pulled up the black sweatpants. I tied the strings so it wouldn't fall off me.

I then pulled over the white shirt. I put my hair down and I picked up all my clothing and my shoes. I walked out of the bathroom and made my way to the front door. "What are you doing?" he asked obviously annoyed.

I turned around to face him. "well my shoes are wet so I'm going to put them outside" I stated and gave him a smile as I turned around and opened the door placing my shoes along the wall. "Give me your clothes I'll clean them" he said and took them from me without even asking.

I shut the door and spoke up. "Uhm what's your name?" I asked trying not to be awkward. "Levi" he stated blankly. "Oh okay" I say as he puts my clothes in a bucket of steaming water. "i'm going to leave them to soak for now but they'll be dry by tomorrow." he said as he took a seat on the couch.

I just stood there awkwardly holding my arm... "you don't have to stand there you know"

"sorry..." I apologized and sat down at the opposite side of the couch. We sat there in silence then he finally spoke. "So what's your name" he said boredly as he turned his gaze towards me. I decided to just get comfortable.

I turned towards him and crossed my legs. "Asami. If you don't mind me asking, wheres your parents?" I asked. "out of town for business. And yours?" he asked as his expression didn't change. "well my dad was killed during the wall break a couple years ago... And my mom is out of town on business too." I said as the painful memory of my fathers death replayed in my head.

"I'm sorry" he said sympathetically. "nah don't worry about it" I said and smiled. "are you hungry?" I asked. "aren't you my guest? shouldn't I be asking that" he states. "Oh come on! I have food with me so lets make some dinner because i'm hungry." I giggle and he just stared at me like I was insane. "you sit here I'll cook" he said and began walking away. I grabbed his arms and he stopped in his tracks. He gave me a surprised look but regained his cool icy glare. "Please let me help at least! I feel like such a burden because you helped me twice today so I need some way to repay you" I plead.

"you can set the table and help me get the cooking ingredients. I guess you can chop up the veggies." he sighed. "Thank you levi" I gave him a warm smile and she just rolled his eyes and made is "Tch" noise.
