*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

Eren jolted to the sound of his alarm as he slammed it off his dresser and frankly turning it off.

"What the hell!? It's already Thursday!?" Eren said to himself looking at his calendar on the wall.

"ughhhh!!!" Eren grumbled. He woke up with an irritated headache which put him in a foul mood. But within the past hour of getting ready for school, his headache had subsided however his bad mood remained. And he had no idea why and he couldn't help it.

Until he had opened his front door to feel the cool air and see the light clouds casting the sky above.

Oh how lovely it looks like it might rain.

He had walked slowly to school placing ear phones in his ears and shutting out the world as he listened to music to calm himself down. But he was crabby.

He arrived to school and entered the lockers along with the rest of his classmates expect for Mikasa who wasn't there.

"Geez Eren what's the matter?" Sasha asked regarding Eren's mad face expression.

"Fuck off," Eren spat which lead everyone to stare at him in disgust.

"Oh my, did you hear that?" Someone whispered.

Eren apporached his locker but for some reason had a hard time opening it.

"GODDAMNIT!" He growled through his teeth trying to decode his locker combination.

"Are you okay Eren?" Armin asked from behind placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.

Eren snapped turning around and grabbing Armin by the neck with rage in his eyes,"DON'T TOUCH ME!" He said releasing his grip as he stomped away.

Everyone was in shock.

"Armin?! Are you okay?" someone asked.

"oh! Don't worry about me I'm fine ha ha I'm okay really!" Armin smiled and laughed it off. But within his soul he was concern.

Jean stood in the back as he flickered his glaring eyes.

Eren walked down the hallway to his class as he stood outside of Mr. Ackerman's room in which his feet did not move. Everyone else had caught up and walked inside greeting Ackerman with a smile. But Eren reverted back to his hatred.

That stupid mother fucker, who does he think he his being a teacher. (="=)

"Hey," A voice called as Eren turned to see Jean.

They both stood in the hallway exchanging face expressions.

"What do you want?" Eren demanded.

"What the fuck dude? Why'd you do that to Armin?" Jean asked with frown eyebrows.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Eren spat as he place his hands in his pant pockets looking down, avoiding eye contact. ~what the fuck is he even talking about!?

"Don't try to deny it," Jean said,"I though you of all people would at least apologize,"

"Fuck off," Eren said walking away but with a firm hand Jean pulled him to the wall as he pinned Eren up with his forearm under Eren's neck.

It was just then when Armin approached the corner.

"Why are you being such a dick!? Apologize to Armin, damnit! You two are friends right!?" Jean said.

"Fuck off you fucking horse-face!" Eren growled with anger.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Armin outburst.

Jean turn in surprise as Eren pushed him away,"Just leave me alone," Eren said walking away and into the very classroom he dreaded going into.

Armin and Jean looked at each other with puzzled faces.

"I'm sure he has his reasons," Armin stated as he too begin to walk away.  But with a firm hand Jean pulled Armin to a halt. 

Jean stared with large eyes,"Just use that big brain of yours...,"

"W..what?" Armin rise his brows. 

Jean released his grip,"I have something I need to show you but it can't be here." Jean then pulled out his phone and gave it to Armin, "Give me your contact info so I can get a hold of you,"

"Uh...Okay," Armin said as he took the and put his phone number in it. What is he getting at?

Armin gave him his phone back,"Can I ask you something?"

"Hmm?" Jean mumbled. 

"Does this have something to do with Eren?" Armin asked. 

"It has everything to do with him," Jean said with a tone that send chills down his spine. With that, Jean walked into class as Armin followed behind him. 

Eren... Armin's eyes flickered to the boy in the seat behind him, what's going on with you?

"Okay class, we are going to head to the track field to start the physical fitness test," Mr. Ackerman addressed,"Now everyone is to go to their locker rooms and change into your gym clothes,"

The class all stood up and headed to the tracks. 

"Helloo everyone today is the physical fitness test! And we will start with the Mile run!" Mr. Smith addressed to all the boys and girls in their gym clothes. 

"awh man," Some grumbled. 

"But isn't going to rain?"

"But there's a catch," He said,"Anyone who has the fastest time will get to race your homeroom teacher," He said. 

That's right...

"Now after the mile run you all will head back inside to test on other physical skills," Mr. Smith said. 

 ...I'll win this race.

"Today is all about fitness so your daily classes are actually cancelled. We will routine with each class to you other classes breaks in between sessions," 

 Than after that I'll win against that lousy teacher and everyone will see what a true man really is. Forget all that B.L BS! Eren thought to himself.

"Okay now everyone get in positions on the starting line," Mr. Smith said and with a bow on his whistle,"GO!"

Soon they took off. 

With energy running through his veins Eren was determined as he passed up Armin and Historia. He reached passing up Sasha and Marco, then Connie and Ymir. He passed Marco and Berthold. But then Reiner flow passed Eren then followed Jean who in the mist of the moment, Smirked a grin. 

With anger he roared, "AAAAAHHH! I'll surpass you!" Eren shouted as he ran passing up Jean and then finally Reiner. 

*Whistle bows*

"We have a winner, Eren Jeager! Please step to the side so you can rest for five mintues then you will race against your teacher," Mr. Smith said. 

"Oh what a bummer," Connie said as he patted.

"If only Miskasa or Annie was here, I'm sure they'll be a tide," Sasha said. 

"Speaking of which where is she?" Historia asked. 

Sasha and Connie turn to Armin who sat alone on a bleacher. 

"Hey Armin," Sasha approached him.

"oh hey," Armin said as he looked up to see his fellow students. He was had been flushed and he looked exhausted. 

"Hey you don't look too good, are you okay?" Connie asked.

"Oh I'm fine, I just am tried from the run. That's all," Armin said.

"Oh well have breaks during the physical test," Historia suggested.

"Good idea," Armin smiled.

"Hey we all were just wondering but did you hear anything from Miskasa?" Sasha asked in wonder. 

"Oh that?" Armin smiled as he scratched the back of his head,"She told me she caught a bug and shes sick today," He told them recalling a picture she had sent of herself in the bed with a icepack on her head. 

"Oh really?" Sasha said. 

"Man that bows," Connie said. 

Although she made me buy soup for her and take it to her place.

"Hope she get better," Historia said. 

She did of crouse coughed on me...

"Yeah me too," Armin said. 

"Well we are going to head inside," Sasha said. 

"Oh okay, see ya soon," Armin said as he place a hand on his forehead hanging his head low as he felt a little warm. At that moment he couldn't help but to recall what Jean had told him earlier, 'I have to show you something...It has everything to do with him.'

Just what is going on? 

Suddenly, Armin felt a small tug on his sleeve as he looked up to see Jean.

"Come with me," He said. 

***

Eren place a foot on the starting line as he flickered his eyes at Ackerman. 

"Just because your my student, doesn't mean I'll go easy on you," Mr. Ackerman said as he too got into position. 

Eren growled as he looked ahead, "Well I'm going to win,"

"If that's what you think," Ackerman said. 

Suddenly the whistle blew and they were off. 

***

Jean guided Armin through an open storage shed and he pulled Armin in front and gently place his hand on his chest pinning him against the wall. Armin felt a sweat drop on his face.

The storage shed was crowded with gym supplies and stacked mats which made the room smelled like rubber. Outside had cooled down as a cold front was approaching as the humility drop was beginning to feel chilly. 

"Hey what are you doing?" Armin asked his face slightly pink. 

"I should ask you the same thing," Jean said as he pulled up his phone. 

"Somehow I was forward an email by you're student email account. Apparently you sent an email to Annie," Jean said. 

"What?" Armin asked. 

"Read it yourself," He said placing the phone in his hand.

Armin read the following email. 

To: A_Leonhart@ mail.com

From: A.Arlert@ mail.com

Subject: ....

>> Annie, the plan didn't go as I thought. Sorry to disappoint you. Maybe next time it'll go smother. However, I have a something for you that'll be more interesting. 

With his thumb he scrolled down to see a picture of Jean and Eren standing outside of the school building. At the bottom of the picture had a caption which stated. 

>>Rivals by day perhaps Lovers by night.

Armin looked up to Jean with glaring eyes. 

"You don't think that I actually could do this right?" Armin said giving Jean his phone back his face turning. 

Jean place a hand on the wall as he lead closer placing his hand firmly on his shoulder,"I don't know, did you?"

Armin was beginning to feel fatigue as goosebumps crawled on his skin. He then casually said,"Come on... I had nothing to do with that. Saying something so-," Suddenly Jean could hear chattering as he quickly place a hand on Armin's mouth ducking behind the mats holding onto his shoulders. 

"Oh my god did you see Sasha spiked that volley ball?" Some girl said. 

"yeah she totally ruined it," Another girl said walking in as she grabbed a ball from the ball rack as she walked out she turned to the door, "Oh I almost forgot to shut this," the closed the door. 

Jean released Armin as he sighed in relief. 

"What good was silencing me in the first place?"  Armin protested with a tried expression on his face. 

"So...Your not the one who sent that email or picture right?" Jean said. 

"No...why would I? And that's not even my email..." Armin said. 

"That message has been bugging me," Jean said. 

"I don't blame you," Armin said as he stood up and placed his chin on his knuckles,"Someone went to some lengths of setting up a fake account to frame me...then sending it to you so you can eliminate me...for what?...To get closer to Eren?...then who would have motive...?" Armin said talking out loud to himself. 

"Perhaps it's Annie herself?" Jean said. 

"On the day when you two got your asses kicked, Mikasa and I went over to Annie's...And she wasn't too happy to see us. She might even blame Eren for her suspension," Jean said. 

He blinked then looked up to see Armin who ironically had a sass expression on his face,"So you do have a brain after all," 

"Hey I can be smart when I went to be!" Jean said.

Suddenly Jean noticed Armin's legs shaking. 

***

It was during the race that it started to pour down and raining,"Hey You guys get inside before you too catch a cold," Mr. Smith called out as he help the girls outside head for the gym. 

"Well it looks like we can finish our race another time," Ackerman said as he turn to Eren.

Eren suddenly grabbed his forearm as he turned and ask,"Let me ask you something,"

"What is it?" Ackerman said.

"Are you gay?" Eren asked as Lightening and thunder stuck.

***

"Hey-" Jean stood up to observe that Armin was crossing his arms as if he was cold. 

"Are you shivering?" Jean asked. 

Suddenly they heard a loud rumble from the sky as the small window flashed of light cutting the power off as the emergency light flickered on. 

The emergency light was a very bright light which cast the room of white. Jean could see better then he did before as he looked at Armin realizing he was sweating.

Jean place a hand on his forehead,"Oh man your burning up!"

"No, I'm fine," Armin tried to slap his hand away but with his shaking legs he fell.

"Are you okay?" Jean said sitting him up from the fell.

Armin's face was bright red as sweat was dripping down his face. His small body shook as if he was cold. He looked small and fragile but his frame looked as if he was a flat chested school girl.

Which Jean turned his face from embarrassment. Why does he...look like a girl?

Jean snap out of it and get out! He told himself. He stood up and walked around the mats as he reached for the door, But it was locked. 

***

"Come on that's go before you get another cold," Ackerman said as he tried reaching for him. 

"I'm not going unless you tell give me an answer," Eren said turning not looking at him. 

Levi was getting annoyed. He grabbed Eren as yelled,"I don't like men I only like-" but before he could finish Eren pulls jerks away avoiding eye contact and in a depressed tone says...

"Please reframe yourself from touching me. It's the professional thing to do," He says as he walks away leaving Levi in the rain.

***

"Oh shit! The doors locked." Jean says out loud.

Armin in his weak state stands up as he slowly walked his way. He was so tried and weak he could barely stand. 

"Armin, what are you doing? You have a fever you need to rest," Jean said.

"I told you I'm-" He tripped again but this time he fell and landed right on top of Jean. 

"oh...sorry," Armin said quickly pulling himself up. 

It was at that moment all Jean could process was the small fragile body of what it seemed to look like a girl with flushed cheeks pressed lips and a sweaty lose shirt which with sweat exposed Armin's nipples.

Jean's eyes rolled in the back of his head as his face turned brightly red. 

His a boy..His a boy..His a boy...HIS A BOY! Jean reminded himself pushing Armin off. 

"I'm sorry this is so annoying," Armin said with his head hung low hiding his eyes. 

Jean then place a hand on his shoulder and with the other hand grasping his head as he pulled him close into a warm tender hug. 

WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU PERVERT!? Jean argued with himself.

( .    . ') ? "HUH" Armin mumbled. 

"I'll get us out of here, no worries," Jean said as he released his hug. 

Jean looked at his phone which only had less then 5% left,"What the hell!? Only Five percent left?" He turn to Armin,"Hey you won't have your phone on you would you?" 

Armin sat on his butt with his legs folded criss-cross as he place his hands on his knees as he fought his body for control,"N...no," 

Jean noticed Armin's body who shook as trembled,"Your cold?" 

"I'm okay...Why don't you worry about calling someone for help," Armin spat. 

Jean frowned as he looked on his phone,"I only have your info and Macro's," 

"Well call Marco," Armin said with his head hung low as his fever spiked higher. 

Marco's phone vibrated in his bag with at that time was stored in his locker which was all the way back at the enterance of the building. 

"You've reached the voicemail of-" Jean hung up the phone,"Shit it must be turned off!"

"I'll try calling you're phone," Jean said as he flipped through his contacts.

With a long exhale Armin collapse on his side with his head falling on Jean's lap.

"WHAT THE!?" Jean yelled with a startle. 

Jean pulled Armin by his arms as he started to slightly shake up to wake up, "Hey now! This isn't the time to be-"

Jean realized that Armin's fever had reached to a dangerous level. 

***

Levi had walked inside the gym as he notice all the students and teachers gather around to see they were passing out blankets and emergency flash lights. 

"Eren," Mr. Smith called to Eren who was sitting on the bleachers,"You're soaking wet," He grabbed a blanket,"Here, take this," 

"Thanks," Eren said as he turn to see everyone freaking out over the storm.

"This is bad, really bad," One teacher said. 

"OKAY EVERYONE WE WILL SEND OUT AN EMERENGY SIGNAL TO SENT YOU ALL HOME," A teacher informed.

Eren turn to look outside as the rain poured so much that it had looked like a think white fog. 

The ground turned into mud as the puddles rose to 3 inches. 

Just inside the Storage shed a thin layer of water had poured in from the bottom as Jean jumped up to see the five inches of water. He hurried up to pick up Armin he was now unconsciousness. 

"SHIT!" Jean said holding Armin up as he desperately looked around.

*** 

Eren stood there as he looked around to see everyone panicking.

"What's going on!?" 

"The water outside is rising!"

Eren blinked as he looked around.

"Armin?" He looked around,"ARMIN?" He didn't see him nor did he see Jean.

"EREN!" Marco turn to him,"Have you seen Jean!?"

***

Dark water began to rise dramatically as it slowly poured into the storage shed.

"Shit-shit-shit-shit-SHIT!" Jean held Armin has he could feel the water on his ankles. He threw Armin on top of the mats which was five feet tall as he climbed up himself. Looking around to see a window just to his right which was about a foot above. 

In flight or fight he looked around for something he can stand on. He saw a box and he saw a small weight of eight pounds. He jumped off the mat to land in the water slpashing around as the water slpashed onto Armin's face waking him up.

Armin blinked as he looked around to see about a foot and half of dark dirty water. 

"OH MY GOD!" Armin came too as he too stand up too see the room being flooded.

"JEAN!" He looked to him who was too busy grabbing a box and a weight to answer. 

As Jean grabbed the box and the weight he splash back into the water which rose to his knees. He carried the heavy box but he tripped over something as the water rose to his thighs within seconds. He fell face first in the water dropping the box which now was soaked and useless. 

"DAMNNIT!" Jean punched the water with his weight he was holding then he looked up to the window. 

He climbed back on the mat as he kneeled on it.

"ARE YOU OKAY!?" Armin asked still have a fever but with adrenaline seemed fine. 

"You're going to have to break the window," Jean said. 

***

Eren took the blanket off as he looked outside.

The track along with the storage shed was on lower grounds as a hill separated the buildings. The water had not gotten into the school building however, the track was now flooded. 

"DO WE HAVE ALL THE STUDENTS?" A teacher asked,"IS EVERYONE HERE!?"

"NO!" Marco yelled.

"Who are we missing?"

"JEAN KRISTEN!" Sasha said. 

"ARMIN ARLERT!" Connie yelled. 

"WAIT WHERE'S EREN!?" Sasha asked looking around. 

"HE WENT OUTSIDE! I TRIED TO STOP HIM!" Marco said. 

Levi flickered his eyes to the outside world. 

***

Pushing forwards as he could feel the water on his shoes, then on his anckles as he slipped on the mud and slid downhill into the deeper waters. Soaking his torso leaning on his hands as he stood up in thigh high waters. 

"ARMIN! JEAN!" Eren called out. 

With a loud crash Eren heard a splash. He turn to see Armin sitting in the water next to the shed as Jean pulled himself out of the window and too also jumped into the waters. 

"ARMIN! JEAN!" Eren shouted as he pushed through the cold murky waters splashing heavily. 

Jean pulled Armin onto his back for which he had used a lot of his remaining energy to break free from the window. Do to the glass both Armin and Jean had some minor cuts and injuries. 

suddenly the rain had subsided as the sun slowly peeked threw the clouds. 

"Are you too okay?" Eren asked. 

"Armin has a fever. But I'm okay," Jean said as Eren looked at his red face heated friend.

The sun appeared from the shadows as it shined on Armin and Jean glistening light almost spotlight was on them. Eren blinked with awe as he witness Armin gently lifted his head as his face was hot and red with sweat and water dropping soaked. Jean had breathed heavily through his nose as with a slight pink flesh tone colors  appeared on his cheeks do to exhaustion, Eren could help but to see them both shimmering with a B.L aura to which he had to turn his head from blushing. 

His heart raced, DAMNIT I THOUGHT I WAS DONE WITH THIS BL BS! 

AAHHH Gayness overload! WHY BRAIN MUST YOU HAVE TO BETRAY ME!?

He blinked as small tears formed, And what's more, why did it have to be with It's with these two!? ~Who reminded me of my BL Sin!?

"Hey are you okay?" Jean asked. 

"Yeah I'm fine, just glad you too aren't seriously hurt," Eren said avoiding eye contacted. 

As they approached the gym building, everyone turn to see them emerging from the sunlight.

"Hey they're back!" Connie said with relief. 

But what was more is that someone asked,"Hey who's that girl Jean is carrying?" 

Out of the sunlight Jean emerged from the sun as if he had been grained superpowers who carried a damsel in distressed. 

Soon most of the boys and girls blushed with admiration,"Oh man he's so cool," 

While other's blushed as some noticed Armin as they said,"So Cute!"

And then very few how then mumbled,"Oh my gosh they look so cute together," 

Eren then breathed with relief, Oh thank god I'm not the only one.

"Hand me a blanket," Jean demanded with glaring eyes which at that moment, he looked intimated. 

"Uh here," Connie said as Jean forcefully took it with anger. 

Everyone step back with a sudden fear. 

"What the hell, why is he so scary right now?" someone whispered. 

But then suddenly the atmosphere changed as Jean gentle raped the blanket around Armin who was sitting on the ground with his eyes close as Jean was kneeling on the floor. 

The scene was something out of a movie as Jean was generally concern for Armin's well being, everyone blushed as it touched their hearts. 

"GAh! Cuteness overload," Some girl squalled slapping her cheeks with her hands.

Macro who stood in the back who crossed his arms with disgust as he turned when suddenly he heard a , "SHUT UP!" Eren roared. 

Macro turned to look at the angery expression on Eren's face and the black oura in which surrounded him. 

Everyone step back fearing him. 

Macro turned as he walked away and into the dark a slight grin had speared on his lips.

Eren crossed his arms, why the fuck is Jean all concern anyway?

Armin...His my best friend...

Eren frowned with disgusted. 

But then again...

But then his face relaxed recalling the flood and the shed which they jump out of the window from.

They were just locked inside a shed with rising waters. So maybe it's best if I just give them their space...after all they both experience something scary. 

Eren's eyes flickered to them. 

At least his not being a dick...

A teacher came to their aid as Jean explain,"We were locked inside a storage shed in which Armin got a fever the the shed started to flood. We had to break the window to escape." Jean explained. 

"I'm glad you two worked together to escape. You both are very lucky," The teacher said as he then said,"I'll arrange EMT's to come pick him up," The teacher said as he then picked up Armin bridal style and walked away. 

Jean watched as the teacher left.

"Wow Jean you're so brave," Suddenly girls begin to flock around him like he was some one famous. 

"It was luck that you where around him in his time of need," Someone said. 

"Yeah I'm so happy you both are not seriously hurt," Some girl said. 

"But wait...is that blood?" A guy asked pointing at the small drops on the ground. 

"Oh this?" Jean looked to see cut on his forearm,"I must have had cut it earlier from the broken glass,"

Soon more people crowded around him,"Oh how brave,"

Eren rolled his eyes and with a hand reached through the crowd and with a firm hand rapped around Jean's other wrist pulled him out from the crowd.

"Huh?" Jean realized the stranger who pulled him away was no one other then Eren.

As Eren walked away he unrealized he had brushed pass Ackerman who then was dressed in casual clothes from the rain. Ackerman wore a grey hoodie with cut out arms exposed as he wore soccer sweat pants as he turned.

Ackerman turned to see Eren's face held down and he didn't say anything and in the corner of Ackerman's his eye, flickered at Eren who didn't even look at his teacher as he lead Jean upstairs into the infirmary room. 

Levi stood there as he placed his hand inside his sweatpants.

Eren and Jean approached the room when the lights flickered on as power was restored through the building. Armin was in the other bed as the teacher consulted with the head nurse. 

"Oh Jean, do you need anything?" The nursed asked as the teacher turned to see the two boys walking in. 

"Jean has a nasty cut on his arm," Eren pulled him over as he released Jean making him step forwards to show the nurse his wound. 

Eren then sat next to Armin as Jean was getting patched up. 

As he started down at his friend the memory of what had happen earlier that day entered his mind, recalling the event of which he had grabbed Armin. 

"I'm such an idiot," Eren said as he put his face in his hands.

This remark made Jean turn to see Eren with his face in his heads.

Jean breath out sympathizing with Eren. 

"I'm sorry Armin for putting my hands on you..I'll understand if you don't forgive me," He murmured.

With a gentle hand, Armin's hand was placed on top of Eren's head.

Eren blinked as he looked up to see Armin's hand drop as he was fast asleep. Eren smiled as he wiped his tears away,"Okay," He said with reinsurance.

"Okay you're all patched up," The head nurse said as she finished bandaging up Jean.

"Thanks doc," Jean said. 

"good thing we have to power back on," She said with a smile. 

"yes indeed, It was a nasty storm," The other teacher said with a smile. 

As they wanted for the EMT's to arrive, Jean pulled his phone up to the wall as he asked to use the teacher's charger to charge his phone to call his parents. 

"Your phone, it's not damaged?" The nurse asked. 

"No its waterproof ironically," Jean said. 

"That's a relief," She said.

While they waited his phone was fully charged within a few minutes. Soon the EMT's arrived as they transferred Armin to the hospital. 

Soon it was only Eren and Jean who walked in the hallway back to the gym after everyone was dismissed from school.

"Do you think he'll be okay," Jean asked Eren regarding Armin. 

"Yeah they have the best doctors there," Eren said referring to his parents who will most likely rush to Armin's aid. 

"That's a relief," Jean said with a breath. 

"Hey..," Eren said to Jean,"Thanks...for helping Armin," 

"His a human being after all, I wasn't planing on leaving him or anything," Jean said with a ~No big deal~ tone as he frown with his eyes closed. 

"But still, Thanks," Eren awkwardly said. 

"Well..," Jean turned to look outside of the window in the hallway as he saw the track field and the shed was the only flooding damage due to low grounds,"It looks like the track is flooded,"

"Only by a few feet," Eren said,"It should go down within a few days," 

"Yeah," Jean agreed. 

Now what? It's just me and Jean...How awkward...

"Actually...," Jean stopped in his tracks as he looked down at his feet,"It's my flaut we were trapped in that shed," he began. 

"what are you talking about?" Eren asked. 

"I met Armin inside to question him about some weird email I received," Jean said,"I was convince Armin was behind it because it was sent through Armin's email...Or so I thought," 

"HUH?" Eren remarked with a rise eye brow. 

Jean pulled his phone from his pocket as he scrolled through with his thumb. 

He then raised his phone in front of Eren's face as he took the phone to read the same message Armin had discovered earlier. 

"I couldn't belive it at first. Why would Armin be emailing Annie? And for what to black mail me?" Jean said as he turned to look at Eren's frustrated face expression, "So I gather you didn't get the same thing huh?" 

"WHAT?-N-NO!" Eren gripped 

"So it was just me who received this email, huh," Jean stated. 

"What the hell!?" Eren asked as Jean then took his phone back,"Armin was mumbling to himself but what he said got me thinking...,"

"If someone was to frame Armin to black mail me, what motives could they gain? At first I was pissed off, but thinking more clearly about the matter. There would be no reason why Armin would want to blackmail me nor would it make any sense if he was talking to Annie...," Jean said in thought,"However, If the true motives was to anger me to beat Armin up for that, then their plan was to eliminate Armin out of the equation. I'm not sure if this person wants anything to do with me, but perhaps they were hoping I would get suspension as well due to fighting on school grounds...Which means the only person that they are targeting is to do all of this nonsense," Jean's eyes flickered to Eren,"To get closer to you." 

Eren blinked, Is this the sort of thinking Jean is capable of? And here I though only Armin can think like that...Wait a minute...

If Jean is actually smart as he sounds...Then why the hell does he have bad grades? Why is he in the excel program?

"My theory is what if all this was Annie's doing?" Jean then asked. 

"Annie? Why?" Eren asked. 

"Just think about it," Jean said,"She did get suspension all after You and Armin where in the club that day," Jean said,"Maybe she has some revenge against you for her suspension?" 

"...I guess I can see that...," Eren said as he blinked,"But we don't even know if that email is actually the real one," 

"Just because it was sent to an email with Annie's last name it doesn't mean that email is even her's in the first place. For all we know it could just be another fake email just like Armin's," Eren said. 

"That's it!" Jean said with widen eyes.

"What if the person's intentions wasn't suppose to be framing Armin after all...And that person's true intentions was to target Annie to frame," Jean said.

Eren blinked in shock. 

"Perhaps they are only targeting the three of us by chance and they are truly after Annie," Jean said.

Eren wanted to chuckle in relief but he didn't want to put his let his guard down,"As believable that may be...we don't know for sure. So we can't let our guard down,"

"Right," Jean agreed. And with that the two walked away and down the stairs. 

In the distance a male student leaned his back just outside of the wall who's dark brown hair had been in front of his face as his lips curled into a smile.
