Eren's Point of View: -otaku-trash-

Eyes fixated on the blonde in front of me, I listened to his words that fled his lips in hopes of grasping some understanding on the subject.

I found myself humming along to a tune, though it wasn't one I could recall the name of. Sighing, I threw my pen onto my paper with annoyance — Armin looked puzzled, his shimmering blue orbs rolled once he saw the amount of work I had attempted to complete.

He was brainy, which made someone like me — usually labeled as the 'under achiever' — look even worse near his presence. Despite his intelligence, he was a good kid and a good friend too.

He wasn't one to continuously beg for attention, however he liked to be aware the last people noticed his existence. 

"Jaeger; what little work have you produced this time?" The teacher asked, removing her thin glasses to give me a superior glance.

Her fingers traveled down to her wrinkly chin, which made me cringe ever-so-slightly cringe in silence. 

"Half a page?" I spoke, perhaps questioning myself.

The words fluttered on my page, in my mind there was more work however in reality there were legitimately a few decent lines. Those of which were achieved by the help of the brain box, Armin. 

"You'd better get your act right, or else you'll be failing this subject." I nodded my head lazily, not particularly giving a fuck. To be frank, I was laid back and I had far better things to be doing instead of things like...well, this. 

"Eren, wouldn't it be handy if you get yourself a tutor?" Armin suggested, causing me to roll my eyes and bite the skin around my nails.

Letting out an exasperated sigh, I grabbed a small piece of paper from my pocket and began to doodle with eyes and hair; art was on thing I was decent at. Plus, I could practically recite my favourite songs because I listened to them on repeat all the time.

Music and art. Two simple words that can twist into things that are rather complicated indeed.

My thoughts enveloped me, and I tapped my fingers against the naked surface of the wood. I discreetly placed my earphones into one of my ears, covering it with my hand as my music blasted through the mini speakers. 

Without me paying much attention, a student walked through the door of our classroom with a yellow slip crushed between their fingers. 

Exhaling deeply, I put my attention back onto my work and reread the dancing words that kissed the page of my book.

There was a small ball of paper upon my desk, which seemed rather persuading to flick at someone. Squinting my eyes, I found a target — a rather sweet guy, his name was Marco — and flicked the paper with a reasonable force towards the unsuspecting male.

He turned his head around with confusion; offering me a smile when he turned back around, in which h began conversing with Jean whom was positioned beside him. 

Chuckling to myself, I heard my name snap into my ears which caused me to yelp.

"Eren! See me after class!" I grunted, ripping my earphones from my ears and shoving them back into my pockets. Ugh. Now I had to waste more time with useless activities; how wonderful.
