First Day
When I woke up the next morning I was both excited and terrified. New teachers, new classmates, new everything. Jean must have left earlier because he was gone when I woke up. As he promised last night he had gotten the forms that were now sitting on my desk. I sat down and quickly filled them out before leaving them on Jean's desk with a note.
"They're filled out but I don't know where to turn them in at so that's your job." After I signed the note and left it all on his desk I started getting ready for the day.
I grabbed my backpack and headed to my first class. I didn't know exactly where it was, but how hard could it be to find it? I started walking and well it turns out it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Good thing I left a little early or I might be turning up to class late. I walked in and saw Armin and Mikasa already in the room. Armin looked dead in his chair while Mikasa just rolled her eyes at him. I was looking for a seat near them but decided against it since they were sitting in the front. I headed to the back of the room where no one else was really sitting and took a seat.
More students started to come in as it got closer to class time. I didn't recognize anyone else meaning all the other kids who moved up with Mikasa, Armin, and I were all placed in different class schedules. Oh, there's one familiar face. I thought as Jean walked in with I guess that must be Marco trailing behind him.
The bell rang and our teacher still wasn't there. I started fidgeting in my seat my mind kept trying to convince me I must be in the wrong class despite other students waiting in here. No one else seemed concerned that our teacher was now 7 minutes late to class. Even Armin and Mikasa, though I could only see the back of their heads, seemed calm about this.
"Hello everyone," a blur came through the door as a woman slid into the room on a rolling chair. "Sorry, I'm late I had to heal someone," she said before her chair stopped rolling and she stopped just a little past her desk. Wait I know her. Her name is Hanji, I've seen her around campus she acts as one of the nurses when the others are busy.
"I see some new faces in my class." She said excitedly standing up. "So we're going to do an introduction session." She said happily while some of the other students groaned.
"So, how this session will go is you will say your name, your age, and your power."
I felt panic set in. Talking out loud... sharing information about myself... I don't have anything awesome about me to share. I felt my hands start to get a little sweaty as I sat there trying to figure out what to say.
"Do we have to?" I heard Jean groan out. I agree with him can we not do this.
"Now Jean, don't you want to get to know your new classmates?"
"No."
"Too bad," she laughed before giving him a smile. "Why don't you go first then, get it out of the way?"
"Whatever," He rolled his eyes, "Names Jean, I'm 21, I can make fire, steam, and lightning." He said before laying his head down on his desk from embarrassment.
I sat there scared for my turn. She just took down Jean. I'm a goner.
"How about you?" She turned to Jean's boyfriend.
Marco smiled and nodded, "My names Marco, I'm 20, and I can make ice, control water, and breath underwater." He said calmly.
She turned to Mikasa. "Your turn." it looked like she was going in order which means I'd be one of the last people to go. Hopefully class will end before she gets to me.
I noticed her pick up a clipboard from her desk and scribble down notes as Mikasa started to talk. She's probably required to mark down our powers.
"Mikasa, 19, strength, stamina, and indestructibility." She said briefly. She was being modest about her strength. She could bench press a skyscraper if she felt like it and not even break a sweat.
"That's amazing," Hanji said happily.
"How about you?" She asked Armin and I immediately felt better about whatever I did because Armin straight up vanished when she asked him. When he reappeared he phased through his chair and fell to the floor.
"Oh my." She said before giving him a hand and helping him back into his seat before scribbling some more notes on her clipboard.
"I'm um, I'm Armin and I turn invisible and phase through objects. Oh and I'm 19." He stammered and rushed through awkwardly. Well, at least I know I can't phase through my chair unlike him, however, I can still completely butcher what I'm going to say.
Armin looked so embarrassed, well that was until the next person stood up and started without Hanji having to tell her too. "I'm Sasha, I'm 20, and my power is hard to explain fully. She said before a second one of her appeared. "I can make duplicates of myself," the first one of her said, "and I can control what they say and do. I can also see everything they see," the second one said. "I can have up to 10 duplicates of myself, however, it gives me a headache seeing everything they see. One duplicate lasts an hour, 2 is about 45 minutes, 3 is about 30 minutes, and anything after that I can only hold for up to 10 minutes." She said before the duplicate disappeared and she sat back down.
"Thank you for explaining," Hanji said giving her a smile.
She looked at the next student who stood up and smiled, "names Connie," oh this must be Armin's roommate. "I'm 20. As for my power. He barely moved but a drink appeared in his hand. "I'm super fast, this drinks from the vending machine in the cafeteria." He said with a smile before plopping down in his seat with his new soda.
Hanji looked at the next student who wasn't paying any attention. She was off in her own little world it seemed. She also appeared to be talking to herself? Maybe she had headphones in?
Hanji walked up and tapped her on the shoulder. "Oh sorry," She laughed before clearing her throat. "Name's Ymir, I'm 20, and I can see and talk to the dead." She said before turning back and going back to her conversation. Well, guess she wasn't talking to herself.
"I'm Christa," the next girl started, "I'm also 20, and I can mildly influence thoughts." She said innocently with a smile. Note to self stay away from her. I don't want anyone in my thoughts.
My eyes darted to the clock realizing that there were only two more students in front of me. It seems like I have to go no matter what.
"The name's Reiner, don't wear it out." the next kid said with a big grin, "I'm 21, and I have enhanced strength and speed." He said. I just kinda sat there thinking of the other guy who said he had speed and Mikasa's strength. THe had superhuman abilities, but his were only enhanced yet here he was sitting there with his nose in the air acting like he was the best. I just shook my head and waited for the next person to go.
"I'm Berthold, I'm 21, and I stretch." He said before doing a little demonstration. He reached his arm out and grabbed a pen off Hanji's desk before handing it to her. She gave him a smile and put the pen in her pocket.
I froze. It's my turn. The class was staring at me. I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I just sat there for the longest minute of my life before finally forcing words out. "I-I, my- um I'm Eren, I'm 19, and I can levitate," I said before rushing through my words. I wasn't sure if anyone even understood me. Until Hanji spoke up.
"That's awesome," Hanji said before moving on to the next person, but not before writing some more notes on her clipboard.
"Annie?" Hanji said and was met with a cold stare. That must be Mikasa's roommate. "Do you feel like sharing today?"
"No."
"Okay then." Just like that Hanji moved on to the next kid. If I would have known it was that easy I would have asked to be skipped. Who am I kidding I could barely get my name out there would be no way I would get out a whole question.
"How about you Levi?" She asked and I felt my head turned to look at him. That was the person Jean was telling me about, the person who I'm supposed to be rooming with.
He didn't even bother answering. He just sat there quietly. I noticed he even had headphones in. Maybe he couldn't hear her?
"Well, I guess not." She shrugged, "well I'll finish this up with my introduction." She smiled before sitting on her desk. "I am Hanji. I'm 26. My powers are healing, talking to animals, and I can manipulate plants." She said before pulling her legs up on the table with her and crossing them. "Now for the rest of class, I think I'm going to let you guys get to know each other." She said sitting back and giving us free rein of the class.
I stayed put. I was about to walk over and join Mikasa and Armin but then I saw Connie and Sasha head over to them to introduce themselves and decided to just stay put. I looked to Jean who was busy talking with Marco.
I looked around the room and it seemed everyone was talking with someone except me. Well, Annie and Levi seemed to be alone, but they looked like they wanted to be alone. Annie had her phone out and Levi had headphones in and was reading a book.
For a moment I fought with my own mind. I knew I should introduce myself to him since we were going to be roommates, however, I couldn't bring myself to move. I looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"Hey," I looked up and Hanji had come over to me.
"Hi," I said back quietly.
"Don't you want to go and talk with your friends?"
"No, they're busy," I said quietly. I didn't want Armin or Mikasa to hear. If they did they might come over to me. The last thing I needed was them feeling like they had to be around me every second of the day.
"Well, do you want to try and make new friends?"
"No." I said quickly before realizing how defensively I said that, "I mean, I'm just really tired and I don't want to make a bad first impression." I lied. I couldn't even tell if my lie made any sense but I stuck with it.
"Oh, I see. Well, you made a good impression on me so far," she laughed. "If you ever need someone to talk to you can talk to me," she said and I nodded.
"Thank you."
She walked back to her desk and scribbled some notes down on the clipboard before looking back up at me and with a confused look and then looking back to her paper writing something else down. I just shrugged it off and looked away. Maybe she was thinking about something and just happened to look at me.
After a little time had passed I finally got the nerve to stand up and was about to introduce myself to Levi when the bell rang. I took maybe a step from my chair before the bell decided to cut in. I just sighed and grabbed my bag. Saved by the bell? I asked myself before heading to my next class.
