Chapter One: Failed

I breathed out a deep sigh as a bright light beat against my face, I rubbed my eyes before opening to rid them of the crust built over it before blinking them open to adjust to the new lightly. I jumped when fingers snapped repeatedly in front of my face, I groaned and swatted at my sister hands before turning over on my side and digging my face into the clean pillow case. The warmth of my duvet was taken away as Mikasa ripped it from my strong grasp and tossed it to the floor, I moaned before sitting up and scowling. "Do you want me to die?" I grimaced before swinging my legs over the bed and standing, I glanced over at the clock and my eyes widened in shock. "It's fucking only 5:37, let me sleep women!" I said loudly and attempted to retrieve my blanket from my messy floor when she flicked my skull and pointed at the dresser.

"We're picking up Annie before school, remember?" I rolled my eyes in annoyance before grumbling to myself about the unnatural relationship. "Shut the hell up and get dressed, okay? Get off your period already." She mumbled the last part but I only scoffed and pointed at her pants.

"Says the one who bled right through her clothes." She gasped and quickly looked down before groaning and quickly rushing off to change, I chuckled at her own stupidity before stretching and trudging towards the bed and plopping back down. I attempted to close my eyes when four hard bangs on the wall startled me out of my bed and had me rushing towards the dresser, I sighed as I picked out a clean pair of undergarments along with ripped black skinny jeans, a teal coloured short sleeves and my favourite pair of black combat boots. I threw the shirt on along with quickly slipping on my pants and lacing up my boots, I stretched and looked back at the clock to see that it was only 6:10, school starts at 8:45 and damn will we be early.

"Thanks for ruining my life Mikasa..." I mummers whilst crossing the room to fix my hair in the mirror, but I couldn't get it to flatten down from its bed-head state, after about seven minutes of trying to tame my lion mane I walked over to my night stand and opened one of the drawers and threw on the nearest beanie. I exited my room and entered the bathroom to brush my teeth quickly yet thoroughly just to renter my room to collect my things and meet Mikasa downstairs, as I did so, I picked up and apple from our fruit bowl and began to eat it as I walked towards the car where Mikasa was actually already stand. "Holy fuck, your fast." I say.

"No, you're just slow." She quickly entered the car and started it up and I slid into the backseat, she likes to have Annie sit next to her during this particular morning routine and honestly it pisses me off. Oh, I swear if she kisses her this morning I'm kicking her in the fucking vagina, I've constantly told her not to demonstrate their illogical and disgusting love between each other in front of my face. As long as I can't see it's fine. "Stop sulking dummy, I know you don't like it so I won't kiss her today." I sighed in relief and smiled at her, giving her a thumbs up before looking down at my phone which vibrated a few seconds prior to our conversation. I pulled it from my pocket and scrolled through the many uncheck message from over night, I don't know about these people, but I'd rather stay asleep through the night. Jesus, the people have to drink energy shots or some shit to stay awake as long as they do, honestly it's makes it hard for me to sleep when the phone vibrates against the wood of my nightstand where it charges.

As I waited for him to reply I silently danced to myself whilst moving my arms like a mad man, but, I did so silently. You see the difference. During the stop lightly someone cleared there throat loudly startling me. "Oh shit..." I yelled in a low tone and tried to catch my phone which I had dropped, thankfully I did and I glared at Mikasa. "If it had broken-"

"Mom and Dad would just buy you a new one, don't let you stupid behaviour be seen by Annie, I will hurt you." Her tone was as cold as ever but I agreed anyway considering I disobeyed her once before and now I have a scar on my bum, it's small but I know it there, I can feel it. We sat in silence for way more the just 20 minutes and I began to groan like a baby and whine about how bored I was, I could Annie waiting in the clearing ahead and frown. 'Some drug dealer.'  My phone vibrates again and I was quiet to check who it was, I scowled before smiling. It was horseface himself with good news.

I smiled and I rested deeper into the cold leather car seats and pulled off my black beanie to ruffled my hair for a second before quickly putting it back on. The car halts to a stop and Mikasa smiles lovingly at Annie, I quickly look away. "Say one rude thing to her and you'll have a bruise on your hand."

"Hey, you know I wouldn't...especially if I want my weed." I whisper that last part so she won't hear me as Annie pulls open the car door and slides into the seat, she smiles at Mikasa and turns around and waves towards me, I smile and wavy back happily since they haven't displayed public affection yet. We then sped off towards school, the place I both hate and like. The pads of my fingers played a beat against the back of Mikasa's seat as we near the front entrance of our school, I grew restless at the idea of skipping Ms. Ral's Global History lectures. "Can you get their faster?" Annie chuckled as I stared at the large gates that would open only if you had the code for your school ID card, for which Mikasa has to pull over and enter into the panel on the side and the large gates quickly open and a few other students who probably started before me rush in through the gates and past the security guards after being thoroughly checked. I wonder how Jean and I manage to get past them with weed? But I'm not complaining. As Mikasa and Annie chat away after parking her car in a spot that our parents pay for I rush out and towards the doors where the guards wait, but someone calls my name.

"Eren!" I snap my head around to see Sasha rushing towards me with two obviously stuffed lunch boxes, this girl can consume more then your local garbage disposal. "Have you seen Connie?" I shake my head before inquiring why. "He still owes me dinner from a week ago, that idiot better not forget." I chuckle and shake my head.

"He's an idiot you have to remind him, want me to text him and tell him to stop fucking about?" She quickly nods her head before one of the lunch boxes almost opens and she squealed and tried to close it hurriedly, I playfully roll my eyes before waving her off and walking past the guards after being checked. I make my quick ascend towards the science block where I have Ms. Hangi, an extremely awesome teacher. She is one of the many reasons I actually will haul my arse out of bed, I enjoy mixing chemicals and whatnot. I feel my phone vibrate once again in my pocket and being the lazy thing I am, I groan unnecessarily loud as people give me weird looks in the stairwell.

I sighed and rubbed my face my my palm before getting off on the fourth floor and quickly walking past people towards the science block, my legs carried me faster as Mikasa sent another text and the school dean walked past, he's a huge dick. He enjoys taking away the cellphones of students who aren't supposed to have them out, when he turned down the other corridor I looked back at the screen.

From: Sis🙄
Answer me back, Eren.

I see classroom labled Laboratory A and see Ms. Zoë setting up the tables for the class, I smiled and put away my phone quickly before knocking on the door. I pushed it open to see Ms. Zoë struggling to hold at least ten test tubes, I chuckle and walk over to her and she sighs happily.

"Ah, Eren. You came right in the nick of time, do you mind helping me?" I smile and rush to grab about five and began to place them in their proper places, Ms. Hangi knows I love to help set up the class despite my low grade. However I have an exceedingly high mark for our lab reports and whatnot since I actually try in this class, I just flunk almost every test which sucks and makes my overall grade low but what can you do, right? Before I know it, I've left the Science class as the bell rings and easily fly through my next three classes, I bump into Connie and Jean in the hallway and we pretend to be apart of the upper class men and exit the school building for 'lunch', we walk around back and say on the grass near a library I couldn't care to even visit.

"I like Ms. Ral and all, but I'm so glad we skipped her class." Connie says as I pass him the blunt(is this the correct term for it?) and Jean agrees and pulls the water bottle to him mouth and holds up his finger to gesture that he was going to speak.

"What did you guys get on her last test? I passed but it was with a 89 and my moms not happy." He sighed with a scowl and took the blunt from Connie, I rubbed my face.

"Lucky, I failed with a 59. My sister wanted to hang me with a rope." We all chuckle at the though because Mikasa is vey capable and if angered enough will do suck a thing.

"I failed with a 63, damn I wish I was smart." Connie mumbles and I glare at him, Jean passes me the weed and I pass it off to Connie before taking a sip of my own water.

"I failed with a 59, just be glad you can at least get close to passing." The bell rings sooner then expected and Jean easily rids is of the scent and puts it somewhere before we enter the building, Jean parts ways with us as Connie and I make our ascend towards the third floor. "Mr. Ackerman will be pissed if we're late, maybe we should make a run for it." I suggest, he shakes his head.

"Let's just walk faster, I'm not built for running." It's ironic because he's actually our schools track star, we both chuckle as we turn towards the math block but was quickly stopped by two teacher, students sneak questionable glances towards us as they pull us to the side. Sadly, it's none other then Mr. Ackerman and Ms. Zoë waiting for us, we sighed and put our hands up. "Take us away officers." We chuckle and Ms. Zoë smiles before speaking.

"Actually, Eren, we just need to speak with you." I pointed at myself as Connie shied away from the teachers and I before entering the class room, the corridor had become empty so I stood there silently waiting to be spoken with.

"We're going to tell it to you straight, Eren you're stupid--"

"Hey!" I shout in self defence.

"Let me finish next time brat, now, you're stupid only because you let yourself be. If you actually apply yourself to the learning you might do well." Mr. Ackerman finishes.

"Yes, like in my science class, you apply yourself and do well but you fail the written areas. I believe you're a more...hands on type of learner." Ms. Zoë finishes and gestures to Mr. Ackerman nods his head in agreement.

"I think you should get a tutor, they'll at least help you raise your grades a little more, do you not want high marks?" I sighed and scratched the back of my head, Ms. Zoë gasps and both Mr. Ackerman and I snap our head in her direction.

"My son, Armin, he's a very smart boy an-"

"You have a son?" I ask quickly in surprise.

"Yes, he's adopted, but I've been raising him since he was 9, that's besides the point. When I go home I can ask him to tutor you if you want?" I shake my head. This Armin kid sounds like a real nerd.

"I think I'm good."
