Mikasa's POV:

"Well..."

"Well what?" I didn't know how to answer the question. I mean, Eren is a good friend and all, but I wasn't too sure about dating yet.

"Can I think about it?" I asked Eren.

"Sure. But I still want an answer when you're ready." He smiled.

Whew! At least I have some time to come up with an answer.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow!" I said.

"You too!" We both parted ways at the intersection and went inside our houses.

I closed the door behind me and lied down on the couch. All that happened today kept playing in my head. Today, we had our first kiss by accident, I was pushed down the stairs, Eren got into a little fight with Jean and then Eren asked me out...

I don't know what to do!

I really got frustrated. I skipped cooking dinner and went to straight to my desk. I had a ton of homework tonight and I couldn't concentrate.

I got an idea. I'm just going to tell him 'No' straightforward and be the one to ask him out later. No harm done, right?

-The Next Day-

I was chasing Eren. He had my red scarf and he wouldn't give it back. I kept telling him that I would date him. Yes, I had feelings for him. Yes, I liked him! He stopped and walked over to me. He whispered in my ears. I couldn't tell what he was saying. He leaned away and ran in the other direction. He jumped into the light and... What?

I jerked up. I was in my bed, in my room, NOT chasing Eren and all that other stuff. Thank goodness that was just a dream. I guess I was just thinking too much about it.

I did my morning routine and rushed out the door. I walked to school as always when I noticed a new student. She had ginger hair and was about as tall as Mr. Levi. He was always teased for being small.

She had already gone inside and I just shrugged off the thought. I opened the door to my classroom and walked over to Eren at his desk.

"So you know the question you asked me yesterday?" I asked him.

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to say-"

"Don't say it. Or at least not now. You can do it later if you want."

"Alright then..." I said.

What was up with Eren? He brought it up in yesterday's conversation. And now he doesn't want to hear my answer?

Mr. Levi's POV:

"Hello class. So first, there are three things I have to talk to you about. One, Eren did NOT steal Jean's girlfriend. He didn't even have one. Yeah, the rumor you heard yesterday was just a lie. Jean himself said it was a lie. So two, someone has stolen my coffee pot. If any of you have it, you must return it to me or I'll turn into a TITAN!!! Just kidding! Where's the humor in you guys?"

"Says the guy who teaches us boring lessons even though he knows it's boring." Whispered the student in the back.

"You in the back! Shut up!!!" I boomed. "Anyway three, we have a new, cute, transfer student. You may come in now."

A student came through the classroom door. She had wavy ginger hair and beautiful amber hues for her eyes. She was quite slim and petite for her age, but nonetheless, she was a beautiful one. She made the guys drool over their desks.

"You may do the introductions yourself." I told her.

"Hello! I'm Petra Ral! And I just transferred from AOT High School." She said to the entire class. The guys cheered like she had just done something so amazing.

"Thank you Petra. You sit next to-"

"Eren!" She ran over to Eren and hugged him. The guys were shocked. Their faces as they watched Petra run over to hug Eren was hysterical! I cracked up and kept laughing. After a while I managed to control myself.

"Do you know Eren?" I asked.

"Yes," Petra said. "I was his childhood friend."

"Then you guys will get along with each other. As I was saying, you will get to sit next to Eren until summer. Try not to make the guys drool too much." I sighed.

Hmm. I think I have a crush on her. But I have no time to think about that. I'm still looking for my missing coffee pot...

Mikasa's POV:

The bells rang and it was passing period. I looked for Eren. He never told me about Petra. I wonder why?

"Hey Eren! Why didn't you tell me about her?" I asked when I approached him.

"I didn't tell you about her because-" Eren was cut off.

"You didn't tell her about me?" Petra asked Eren.

"I didn't." He sighed.

"Then I'll just do it myself. I'm Petra, Eren's childhood friend." Petra smiled.

"You already said that." I told her.

"Anyway, I always went where Eren was and stuck by his side for almost 3 years!" She exclaimed.

Eren leaned in closer to me and whispered into my ears.

"She says that, but really, she's clingy to me and she's not my childhood friend." He whispered.

"Hello, Eren? Do you remember the promise we made when we were little kids?" Petra asked.

"No I don't, Petra. What was it?" Eren faced her.

"You said we could get married when we were older!" She stated.

I started coughing. I was choking on air.

"Petra I never said that! Err... wait. I did say that... but that was because you said that you would stop following me and clinging to me wherever I went!" Eren explained.

"Yeah, but you still said you would marry me! Don't worry I'll wait until graduation for us to get married. But in the meantime, would you go out with me?" Petra asked, hope in her eyes.

"What?" Eren and I said in unison.

"I want to be at least closer to you than your other friend. Will you say yes?" She asked.

"Uhm, uh... I... Er..." Eren stuttered. At this rate, he would have to date her and be stuck with her until graduation. I had to do something. Or at least the opposite of what I was going to do in the morning.

"Yes! I'll go out with you Eren!" I shouted. I was blushing. This was not the answer I was going to give Eren, but I needed to save him...

The students in the hallway just looked at us in surprise.

"Right now?" he asked.

"Yes now! I'll be your girlfriend!" I said.

Petra was confused so Eren explained it to her. "I asked her out yesterday and gave her time to think about it. If you wanted to ask me out, you're a day late." he said to the ginger.

"I wanted to be the one to date you! Not this girl!" Petra said furiously, pointing at me.

"I'm sorry. I'm already Mikasa's boyfriend." Eren said. The students started whispering to each other and eventually the teachers heard about it.

"Just you wait Eren! I'll steal you from your "girlfriend" soon! Then you'll really love me!" Petra yelld and she stormed off into the hallway while Eren and I sighed.

"Thanks for saving me there." Eren thanked me.

"No problem!" I replied.

"So are we really boyfriend and girlfriend?" He asked.

"Yeah. I was hoping to tell you 'yes' really later but I'll deal with it now." I nodded.

The bells rang and we realized we were late for class. Eren and I rushed over to science.

Eren's POV:

After classes were over, Mikasa and I walked home together as usual. But something made me feel we were being watched...

"Hey Mikasa! Do you have any homework?" I questioned.

"Don't have any. Why?" She looked at me.

"I don't either. If you're up to it, do you want to watch "Strike on Giant" with me? It's a show about these giants that populate most of the Earth causing humans to stay behind walled cities and-"

"-fight giants. I'm a big fan of that show." she said.

"You should have told me sooner. I was having a big "Strike on Giant" TV marathon."

"How about we watch it at my place? I got lots of snacks and a comfy couch."

"Sure Mikasa! I'll bring over my SoG blanket so we can cuddle up together. Or is that too soon?" I chuckled.

"It's okay. You go on ahead and I'll set up the place." She told me.

"I'll be back at your place soon." I said and rushed over to my house to find that blanket.

This was great I would be able to spend some quality time with Mikasa. I'm already having a great day.

Petra's POV:

I was following Mikasa and Eren to the intersection. Watching SoG, huh? I laughed.

"Starting today, I'll steal Eren with all I can!!! HAHAHA-" My laughter was cut off.

"Is someone there?"

Oh crap! I ran into some nearby bushes. When the coast was clear, I got out and went over to Mikasa's house. I knocked on her door and couldn't wait to see the look on her face...
