Part 2: Snowflakes
Day 2: December 13th
10:23. I walk out of my house and sigh, it's snowing, which means I can't go out wearing just blue jeans and a jumper, I head back inside and open my wardrobe again, open the top drawer and take a beige beanie and matching gloves.
I walk back outside and call Mikasa, she is in the same situation as me so why not make the most of it these three days? I wait for her to pick up and sigh when the fifth beep sounds, signalling no one is answering the phone, I hang up and walk to the café I went to yesterday, I don't even think about listening to music, the guy in my dream is the only thing that occupies my mind, but why? I get the feeling that he's real, but what if he's not? I can't remember his face nor his voice, I don't even know if he had a name. It was probably my mind playing a trick on me or something like that.
I walk in and Hanji smiles "Eren! How's your day going so far?" She asks, I really can't tell, is obsessing over someone who I don't know if is real having a good day? The truth is I don't know, but I have no evidence of my day going badly. It's snowing and Christmas is getting closer... Yeah, it's going good.
I smile "it's been great thus far, I've woken up at 9:45 which just makes it better!" Hanji chuckles and a girl walks to her.
"Eren, this is my new waitress, it's her first day, her name's Petra" I smile at her, she seems nice and trustworthy.
"Good to meet you, Petra, I'm Eren Jaeger" she smiles and the three of us start talking about random things when a certain person crosses my mind again, I have to know more, maybe it's like some Freddy Krueger shit and if I go back to sleep I'll learn more about him.
I check the time and realize Armin is about to get out of class, I say goodbye and walk to the school "Eren!" Armin skips to me happily, I chuckle "let's go ice-skating!" I think about it for a second.
"We can go grab a bite and ice-skate at the mall" he nods and we get going, if we take too long everyone ends up at the same place to do the same things, it's kinda annoying when it gets crowded.
I take my phone and text Mikasa to meet us there, ice-skating is better when it's the three of us, I know the rest of our friends will be there in a couple of hours, when everyone else goes to the mall for various purposes.
"So, Armin, what have I missed today?" I ask when the school is nowhere in sight, he shrugs "did those bastards hurt you?" I question, I must say I'm slightly protective of Armin, but he's my best friend and I don't think it's right for people to bully him just because he's cute and innocent and he gets good grades.
"N- no, I was with Erwin most of the time, so they didn't dare"
I tilt my head to the side and look at him "Erwin Smith? The Erwin Smith?" He nods, Smith is known for being in that school the longest time of all students, no one knows why since his grades are kind of okay, but he's always there "he's actually really nice, he said I can stay with him while you and Mikasa are gone" I smile at the thought of someone being genuinely nice to Armin, he's like a precious cinnamon bun and he deserves to be protected.
I may even create an army 'Protect Armin Army' wow, sounds catchy, I didn't intend to make it catchy...
We meet Mikasa at the mall and get a coffee before going to the ice-skating zone, the three of us spend there two hours before Connie, Jean, Marco, Krista, Ymir, Annie and Sasha appear, we have some fun and at 9pm we go back home.
Armin and Mikasa are staying over so we watch a couple of horror movies while eating pizza and popcorn -they should make a popcorn pizza, that'd be amazing- before falling asleep on the floor.
I wake up two hours later, at 5am, and realize that I'm alone, they must've gone to their future rooms, I get up and walk to bed, I don't know if tonight I'll dream of that guy again or not, but he is the last thing I think about before drifting off to sleep.
Day 3: December 14th
I wake up and take my phone to check if I have any texts or notifications -yes, I check all that before the time- and see a few texts from my squad (the male section)
Jean: Marco moved in! Everyone at our place at 8:30 to celebrate :)
Armin: Just the guys?
Jean: Yup, no girls allowed in this one
Connie: haha can't wait! See y'all tonight!
Marco: You're literally sitting with me and Jean what are you talking about?
I chuckle and decide it's time to make an appearance, however someone ruins my plan
Jean: Hi Eren, stop stalking and say something
Eren: haha very funny horseface, don't think I can make it, soz
Jean: if you're looking for pleading, you won't get it from me
Marco: well, you will from me, please Eren! Everyone is coming, you can't stay out of this one
I smile and go check if Mikasa is home before realising that I haven't even checked the time... I don't really care though. I knock on her door and sigh when there's no response and walk downstairs, I notice a note on the fridge 'Last night was fun!! I am packing a few more things x - Mikasa' I smile and walk out, trying not to slip on the ice.

I head to Jean and Marco's place, I am late, as usual, but I did remember to take what they want me to so it's fine, I knock on the door and Jean opens the door "you're late" he frowns, I roll my eyes showing him the bag "but welcome, Eren!" He grins, I walk in and the party begins.
"So, who's going to class tomorrow?" Connie asks completely wasted
"Not me, I'm literally staying in bed all day" Jean answers also wasted... at this point I think Armin and I are the only ones who aren't drunk... maybe tipsy but not drunk.
"Same" Marco says, I frown as Armin shakes his head answering to Connie's question.
"Why are you guys leaving me there on my own? I have had suspension for two days and a half, why didn't you do this yesterday?" I whine, they all chuckle and I check the time, it's midnight, which means I should be home already and now I have to leave and walk home, get there almost at 1am and go to bed. I groan "it's getting too late, I'm heading home, bye" I start walking to the door and Jean follows me.
"Wait, take the bike, you'll get there faster and since none of us is going to school, you can ride to school" I smile as he hands me the keys and open the door.
"Thanks Jean! Bye!" I call leaving and riding home.
