"Stay the hell away from me! I don't ever want to see you again! Go away! I never truly liked you! I only hung out with you because I felt sorry for you!"

Eren Yaeger walked through the corridors of his new school. His tutor escorted him and stopped at the door and opened it Eren followed him in there. "Settle down class. We have a new student in our class today." Eren nodded his head. "I'm Eren Yaeger, pleased to meet you." Eren said as politely as he could manage. "Now let's see where we can seat you...Ah there is a spare seat next to Arlert at the back there." The teacher pointed to a blonde boy looking lost in thought.

The students whispered "Poor guy getting stuck next to Arlert. Nobody has ever sat next to Arlert for long he always scares them away." Eren sat next to the boy. He didn't seem to acknowledge him. At lunch break a group of guys approached Eren they introduced themselves as Jean, Marco, Connie, Reiner and Bertholt they ignored the boy next to him who really didn't seem to enjoy company anyway and Eren went off with them.

"If you ever need help with anything then just ask we will help you." Marco said. "Thanks I wanna know what's the deal with that Arlert kid? Does he never speak to anyone?" Eren asked. "Hmm I haven't ever spoken to him so I can't say for sure what he's like but he comes off as pretty cold. He has never shown himself to be close to anyone. There are a lot of rumors about him. Some people say he's a violent delinquent but I highly doubt that's true. Nobody really knows anything about him." Marco explained.

"Basically he's a mysterious guy." Connie finished. Eren nodded. This Arlert kid intrigued him. When he came back in from break he went straight to his seat. There he was still looking lost in thought. "Hi." Eren said. "Hello..." Replied Arlert. "Sorry I don't know your name." Eren tried to make conversation. "Armin Arlert." Armin replied. "Is there any point to this conversation?" He continued. "Uh no I was just being polite." Eren said. "Really? Well let me inform you of something Eren Yaeger, sooner or later you will have no need to be polite towards me." Armin brushed off his explanation.

Eren remained silent for the rest of the lesson. 'I wonder why he is so cold to everyone? He sounds cold but his eyes seem to be pained. I don't think he's necessarily a bad person but what do I know? I just met him.' Eren thought. He could feel himself start to drift off.

"Eren! Why are you leaving me?! I didn't mean for you to get hurt. Eren I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" A child's voice is crying and apologizing to me. Why are they apologizing. Why am I not answering them? "Eren? Eren... Eren!"

Eren's eyes snapped open his adopted sister Mikasa was in his classroom everybody else had left. "Mikasa what are you doing here?" Eren asked. "It's home time now Eren you weren't at the gate so I came to find you." Mikasa explained. "Sorry Mikasa." Eren said apologetically. "It's okay I'll let you off this time." Mikasa said. They walked home talking about their day and Eren wondered if he could ever get Armin to open up. He was just going to have to persevere...
