I've never seen so many people in one room before. There was so much noise filling this room that I was tempted to just leave and see if I could find a quiet place to sit, but the only quiet place would be outside in the heat.

There was one table I saw that only had two people at it. They seemed to be kids from my class. Reiner and Bertholdt I think their names were. Maybe I could sit with them?

I slowly walked over. "Um hi, would you mind if I sat with you guys?" I asked quietly.

"Yes I would mind," Reiner said giving me a glare.

Bertholdt just stood up and shook my hand. "I'm Bertholdt you're Eren right?" He asked and I nodded. "You might not wanna sit here," he said a little quieter. "Reiner isn't the friendliest person," he said, giving me a heads up.

"Oh, okay."

"It was nice meeting you, and I'm sorry about his attitude," he said giving me a friendly pat on my shoulder. I thanked him and continued on my search for an empty table, but not before earning a nasty look from Reiner.

I saw a table across the room that looked empty from here. When I got closer I realized it wasn't empty, there was a person sitting at it. Of course, it had to be that Levi guy. Well, I guess now is a better time than ever to introduce myself.

How bad could it be? I mean it couldn't be worse than what just happened, could it?

I approached and as I got closer to the table I noticed something odd. He was reading a book, but he wasn't touching the book. He was using his hands to eat his food and his book was just floating there in front of him. Well, I guess his power is some sort of telekinesis.

I also noticed that he was wearing headphones while reading. It's hard for me to read a book while multitasking since I get too distracted, but here he is reading a book, listening to music, eating lunch, and using his power. It almost makes my head hurt thinking about it.

I stopped just in front of the table. "Um, hi," I said and the book fell out of the air and slammed down on the table. His eyes shot up to look at me.

"Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if I could sit here?" I asked quietly even though everything inside me screamed to just turn and leave.

He stayed quiet with his eyes glaring into me before clicking his tongue. "Fine whatever," he groaned before his book rose back up.

"I'm Eren by the way," I said offering a friendly smile despite my brain yelling at me to shut up.

"I didn't ask." He didn't even seem to give me a second thought. All he did was raise his book a little higher so it blocked his face.

No wonder Jean couldn't get people to swap rooms with Marco this guy is a total jerk. Then again Erwin said that he's a good person when you get to know him... how would anyone ever get to know him when he doesn't give them a chance.

I just sat quietly to afraid to say anything until I saw him put his book down. I think he finished it. He didn't say anything to me, he didn't even bother looking up at me. As much as I wanted to stay silent, or even just leave, my mind kept telling me that I have to get to know him since I'm going to be sharing a dorm with him for the next few years...or at least until I can get another person to trade with me which sounds pretty much impossible. As much as I wanted to tell Jean that I've changed my mind I can't bring myself to disappoint the only friend I've actually made so far. I have to make this work.

I watched him take his headphones out for a second as he put his book back in his bag.

This is my chance? Maybe Erwin was right I had to get to know him. The question is how? I mean he seems to have no interest in letting anyone near him.

I took a deep breath and decided to ask about something that might get him talking. "What book are you reading?"

"None of your business," he replied in a less frustrated tone.

Or maybe Erwin is full of shit. I groaned mentally.

That's weird, I swear I saw him smirk there? Is he having fun giving me a hard time? I'm thinking too hard into this.

"What do you want?" He asked and I just sat there in shock that he actually spoke to me unprompted.

"Well, I wanted to get to know you?" I said awkwardly. "Maybe we could be friends."

"You're so naive that it hurts." He rolled his eyes before putting his headphones on again.

"I don't need a friend, I don't want a friend, I want to be left alone," he said before turning his music back on.

Normally I'd give up at this point, but there's something about this guy that makes me want to keep trying. If not to be his friend then to annoy the hell out of him. I mean if he's going to be rude then I'll just kill him with kindness... and well just be flat out annoying. Normally I'm too anxious to do that sort of thing, but this guy is just being a downright asshole who seems to enjoy causing me frustration.

"Well, too bad, because from now on I'm going to be your friend and you just have to deal with that," I said pushing my anxiety aside. It didn't work I just made sure my shaky hands were hidden under the table.

"Fucking great," he rolled his eyes and turned his music up louder.

Cute he thinks that's going to stop me. "So how was your day, friend?" I asked raising my voice so he could hear me.

"Shitty and getting worse," He glared at me and turned his volume the rest of the way up.

I just smiled innocently at him. Well, let's hope Erwin wasn't full of shit and Levi eventually comes around. I don't know how long I can keep this up without my anxiety getting the better of me.

I don't think this is probably the best way to go about this, but I mean he's left me no other choice. I will admit it's a little fun to act like this. I never got to act like a kid and this attitude screams younger sibling. Not that I've ever had a younger sibling, but from people I knew their siblings always acted like this. I guess I've been too worried without how people are going to think of me that I never stopped and tried to have fun in a bad situation. Well, that ends today... hopefully.

I took a deep breath and spoke loud for him to hear, "I think we're going to be the best of friends."

"Fuck you," I got back in return.

"I mean you could but that wouldn't be a friend sorta thing more like a-."

"Fucking shut up," He cut me off really quickly with a surprised and embarrassed face. He put his head down on the table and covered his face. I swear I saw a faint pink on his cheeks. Checkmate.

I sat back and stayed quiet for the rest of lunch with a victorious smile on my face. When the bell rang Levi stood up quickly and left without looking back. "I mean we have the same classes, I don't know how he thinks he's going to get rid of me?

I grabbed my bag and headed to my next class. I walked in and found a few students already here. I made my way to the back and plopped myself down right next to Levi who just gave me a dirty look.

When I saw Jean walk in he was grinning from ear to ear. Well, that was until he looked at me and saw who I was sitting by. Instantly his face turned to confusion and worry. I just give him a shrug and an innocent smile. He shrugs back and just takes a seat a few rows in front of me with Marco trailing behind him.
