✿chapter six - anything that is in our hands

You woke up at 7:15 am, meaning that you had one hour to get ready and be at school. You did what you usually did in school mornings: go to the bathroom, washing your face, do your makeup and choosing your outfit for that day. You decided to wear some mom jeans with an oversized white shirt. For breakfast, you ate some pancakes and drank some orange juice, both of them prepared by you.

You took your school bag and the piece of cake and went to school. Weirdly, you didn't find any of your friends while going, so it was a silent and calm walk. This and also being still dark put you in a good mood. Can't believe I'm slightly happy at this hour. After 5 minutes, you passed through the apartment. You focused on the balcony, and through the window Eren could be seen, sitting in the couch, still eating his breakfast. You smiled, and in that moment, he looked at where you were. Your eyes widened, and before he could do or say anything, you started moving to school, which was a few meters away. Jean and Ymir were in the entry, waiting for the others to arrive.

"Morning guys", you greeted.

"Hello, y/n" Jean said, while Ymir moved her head.

In that moment, Annie, Connie, Marco, Sasha and Reiner appeared. You all said hi to each other while waiting for the rest.

After 5 minutes you could see Armin, Mikasa and Bertholdt heading to where all of you were while talking, next to Historia, who was showing something in the phone to Eren. "Yeah, can't wait to eat it today", you could hear the boy telling her.

"Hey guys", you said.

"Talking about you, I hope you brought that piece of cake", Historia told you and pointing to Eren with her hand, "this guy here has been asking me all the walk if you didn't forget about it".

You looked at Eren, confused. Now you two were the only ones who were part of this conversation, as Historia was talking now to Ymir. "Really?"

A bit of red appeared on the boy's cheeks. "Um, yeah. I don't know, I guess I'm hungry".

You laughed, starting walking through. "Well, yes, I brought it, but you'll have to wait until this afternoon".

Eren put his hand on his chin, acting like he was hardly thinking about it. "Mmmmm, I guess I can wait until that moment. By the way, I saw you before in front of the apartment. If you have told me, I would have gone with you to school".

Now you were the one who was blushing. Did our friendship actually change that much in like, what, 3 days? "Oh, yeah, I didn't want to bother you because you were still having breakfast".

"Next time just say it to me", he said, "what class do we have now?".

Suddenly, Reiner appeared. "Math with our favorite teacher!".

All of you entered in the class, Mr. Ackerman already waiting. "Hello, Levi!", both Sasha and Connie exclaimed.

"Tsk,", the man responded, "seat in your place already".

After everyone did what he just ordered, Mr. Ackerman took out of his bag a pack of papers. Not the exams of last week. "As you can guess, I already corrected your exams. Let's say that this class, in particular some students, has made me rethink about my job as a teacher".

"Are you actually going to leave this school after you have been telling that like about, I don't know, 2 years?", Ymir asked.

He looked straight at her. "No. What I was saying, there are very different grades, but surprisingly, only two of you have failed, which is actually disappointing".
