This is first fanfiction I've ever posted!
I changed the ages of some characters.

Shiganshina high. The room was filled with an oppressive atmosphere. Almost as if there was a silent little devil lurking around the classroom, breathing heavily on the students' necks, making them shiver. The clock was ticking loudly and faster than ever, or so it seemed to everybody. Only one person was able to remain calm. The supervisor. Mister Dot Pixis was contently sitting behind his desk in front of the class, reading something, god knows what. There's no denying, he had never really liked supervising exams. Today he was assigned to sit 70 minutes without doing anything. Quietly, in his mind, he wished that the actual teacher, Keith wouldn't have been absent. Now he had 18 young students struggling to complete a history exam. It was obvious that they were really distressed. Fidgeting, sweating, devastated faces. Dot felt almost sorry for them. Keith had always demanded a lot from his students. It was always really difficult to get a passing grade from his exams.

It was half past 11. Only 10 minutes were left before everybody was due to return their papers. Even without looking at the other students, Eren Jäger could feel them panicking. Deep down he was feeling confident with the test, but the atmosphere really made even him a bit fidgety. He was a great student. He always got great results in exams because of his habit of working really hard. He wasn't one of those clever people like his friend, Armin, who could memorize and understand new things without repetition. He really wasn't. But he sure was strong-minded and he would always work hard to achieve his goals, whether it was studying or something else.

Eren was actually bad at history. Not that he didn't like it, he actually enjoyed it and he was probably the most eager student in the class to learn. However, he did find it a bit difficult. He found it really tough to understand the concept of the time. For example, he was terrible at understanding the chronological order of historical events. It would have been so much easier if he would have been there ages ago to experience the events himself. But there's no way that he could have, and he just had to deal with it.

Pixis was really into the book he was reading, but he still noticed how the students started dropping their pens down on their desks. It didn't take him more than two second to realize that they did so because they had run out of time or so he assumed. He had totally forgot about the time, but after taking a quick look at the clock hanging on the wall, he confirmed he was right. He quickly skimmed through the final lines of the book's chapter and then he stood up, and with a sturdy voice he announced the exam was over. "Time's up kids, please stop writing now and bring your papers here. Then you are allowed to leave."

Suddenly the classroom became a bit more lively as students started moving around. Most of their faces weren't looking that lively though. They were relieved that the ordeal was over, yet scared of the upcoming results. The students formed an unorganized line behind Dot's desk. In the line they would hesitantly skim their own answers, before handing in the paper one by one. Nobody said anything before that. As soon as they had done so, they walked back to their desks to grab their bags. Then they would gradually start talking and moving to the door leading to the corridor. Eren was one of the last people to hand the paper in and his eyes were flaming with determination when he did so. He received a cheering but subtle smile from Pixis in exchange for handing the paper in, and that made him calm down the slightest bit.

Eren was still feeling a bit distressed and he didn't pay much attention to his surroundings when moving back from the table. While turning around, he accidentally hit somebody's stomach hard with his elbow and received a silent gasp from the person. Eren quickly pulled his arm back and faced the person, automatically apologizing him. Jäger gave the other person a sheepish smile, before noticing who was actually there, standing in front of him. His smile faded and suddenly a shocked expression crawled on his face. "Don't touch me, dickhead." Eren was looking at a slightly shorter, slender young man with raven black hair, wearing a contemptuous expression on his face. Levi Ackerman.

Everybody at the school was aware of the fact that messing with Levi would lead you to trouble and therefore everyone tried to avoid him. He belonged to the group of the tough guys at school. All the group members looked intimidating, but Levi was something else. He was the most mysterious one without any doubt. In addition to that, he was the most frightening one. His facial expression would often look blank and emotionless. Cold. No one could ever tell whether he was sad or happy apart from his group, if even them. Eren wondered if he had ever smiled a real smile during his life.

Levi would never open his mouth to talk without a reason good enough. A thing that really made him frightening was all the power he seemed to have despite not talking much. If somebody messed around with Levi, they would get beaten by the group before they could even count to ten.

Eren got scared by Levi's face and the deadly voice tone he had used. The brown haired boy felt vulnerable when Ackerman was glaring at him. Eren tried to protect himself like an animal before a predator. "Sorry mister, I really didn't intend to..." he was cut off when Levi in a terribly calm manner said "Shut up and get out of my way. Now." Eren jumped and quickly made way for Levi. Levi had his eyebrows furrowed as he was glaring at Eren, and as he walked past him he would have his intimidating eyes fixed on Eren, and let go when Eren was behind him. Eren rushed back to his desk, quickly grabbed his brown leather bag, and jogged out of the room to avoid any other contact with Levi.

It was sunny outside, there were only a few fluffy clouds here and there. Stepping outside made Eren go blind for a second. It was too bright for his eyes that had got used to being inside. When he could see again, he quickly scanned the school yard with his eyes, looking for his friends. He was really hoping to spot a certain short blonde boy. And so he did. Armin was sitting under a tree, sitting in the shade with another boy. They were far enough that Eren couldn't tell who it was. He had a clue but couldn't be sure.

He walked quickly through the school grounds. Armin waved at Eren when he noticed him approaching. The other guy who turned out to be Jean, had noticed him as well. Apparently they were having a conversation together but Armin was excited to see his best friend. "Eren! You survived! How did it go?" Armin if somebody knew very well that Eren was really panicking about the exam. He even begged Armin to help him study. And of course Armin chose to tutor Eren. After all, he was his best friend.

"I could answer all the questions but it doesn't mean that they were right." He sighed and then he joined Jean and Armin, sitting down on the grass. "I'm sure you did your best" said Armin. He was always trying to encourage his best friend.

They were having a nice casual chat until Jean pointed something out "Why are those thugs looking at us?" and those seven words made Eren freeze. He knew who Jean was talking about without even looking around. Armin scanned the yard and he saw them. A little gang of tough guys was leaning against the walls of the gym. There were only three people. Reiner Braun, Bertolt Hoover, and the scariest guy at the whole school, Levi. "I don't know. Has something happened?" Armin looked worried. Jean noticed that Eren was staring at the ground with shocked eyes and he knew something was off. "Eren, are you okay bro?" he asked and Amin followed "Eren, did something happen between you and them?" Eren shivered and he finally made eye contact with Jean and Armin. "I hit the leader."

"WHAT?!" shouted the two other boys and then Eren explained what had happened after the exam. "I really didn't intend to do so. It was an accident!" Jean was scratching his neck "Well HE sure didn't consider it an accident but an offense." Now Eren managed to look at the gang. Reiner and Bertolt weren't looking at the three friends anymore, but Levi was still looking at Eren with his sharp eyes and a piercing gaze. Eren felt really uncomfortable, shook his head and tried to deny the fact that he had got himself into trouble. "I think you are screwed." Jean mouthed the words.

How's that? I'd be more than pleased to receive some reviews ^_^
English isn't my first language and I was a bit nervous about posting this.
