It was 2 days after the first game. Eren was sitting at his desk, flicking a pen around. He wasn't paying attention to Professor Hange, who had taken notice of this.

"Mr. Jaeger, I know you're still upset, but please pay attention to the sermon." She turned back to the whiteboard and kept writing. He looked up and sighed.

"Eren."

Eren turned and looked at Jean, who had tapped his shoulder.

"It's not your fault." Jean sighed deeply. "It's just unlucky."

"Yeah I know, but Jean, that doesn't make me feel any better." He ran his fingers along the crevice in the desk.

"Yeah but, the quarterback could've snapped it faster." Jean insisted.

"Jean, let it go!" Eren stood up, as Professor Hange stopped talking and the whole class  looked at them.

"Sorry." Eren said, and sat down, embarrassed.  "Sorry for yelling Jean."

Jean didn't respond at first. Eren was worried that Jean was mad at him., before he started talking quietly again.

"Eren, you know damn well you're just as mad about this as I am." Jean ran his fingers through his hair, before a smile returned to his face.  "Look, me and some of the other guys are going out to get some food. We're bringing some girls too. You should come."

"No thanks, I'm not interested in girls right now." Eren quickly declined.

"Oh come on! You might find someone you like." Jean pestered. Eren shook his head slightly, but Jean did his best impression of a Corgi. He failed miserably. Eren gave in, mostly because he felt bad.

"Look, I'll come if you forgive me for yelling at you."

"Deal." Jean quickly quipped. Eren turned his attention back to the board, where Hange went on another one of her rants about short men being absolutely adorable.

"Jean!" Mikasa came running up to Jean with a huge smile on her face, and threw herself into a hug with Jean. Her hair was up in a bun and she was dressed casually in Jean's Letterman Jacket from High School, and sweatpants.

She turned to Eren too, and stuck out her hand. Eren, misunderstanding the motion, pulled her into a hug.

Jeans eyes almost popped out of his head, and Mikasa lightly hugged him back, before separating herself, blushing because of embarrassment.

"Uh, I only was going for a high five but..." Eren, quickly realizing his mistake, apologized profusely. He felt a hand on his shoulder gripping it tightly.

"Eren..." A jokingly angry Jean stared into his soul. "That's me girlfriend 'mate."

"So you suddenly turn British when you're angry?" Eren asked jokingly. Jean laughed a bit and let go. "Here the girls come now." He pointed towards the street, as a couple of figures approached. Eren looked on apprehensively as a couple of girls, one brunette and one blonde, as well as the football teams #2 cornerback Connie Springer.

"Jaeger." Connie said casually.

"Springer." Eren responded.

"Potato." The brunette girl said. The group gave her confused looks, but she just shrugged and pulled a potato out of her pocket and took a bite. The atmosphere became awkward, so Jean stepped up.

"Ok then...wanna sit down and eat guys?" He questioned, pointing to the restaurant across the street. The group agreed, so they crossed the street, and went in, with the brunette eating her potato the whole way.

"Table for 6." Jean said to the waiter. The waiter nodded and led them to a table. They sat down and looked at the menus, as the brunette finished her potato. She started to reach into her pocket, but the blonde stopped her.

"No more potatoes Sasha." The blonde said strictly.

"Aw fine."

The group eventually ordered, then they started to talk.

"So Eren, this is Historia and Sasha. We went to the same High School." Connie remarked. "They already met Jean and Mikasa. There's gonna be a few more guys to show up later when we go to watch a movie. They're probably gonna bring their girlfriends too."

"Ah ok. Nice to meet you guys, I'm Eren." He bowed his head a bit.

"Nice to meet you Eren, I'm Historia and Potato girl here is Sasha." Historia elbowed Sasha.

"Potato girl, really?"

"Yes."

Their food arrived and they dug in. They were all talking about random stuff, enjoying the day, before the topic of football was brought up.

"So Eren..." Mikasa started. "What exactly happened in the last football game, I thought you guys won."

Flashback

"Ah frick."  The scoreboard hadn't counted their points yet.

"What's wrong Jaeger?" Weller asked, as he ran over to the group."

"I think time ran out before you snapped it. The referees are gonna call it off." Eren pointed to the group of referees talking around the midway point of the field. "I think we're fucked."

"Ah hell." Weller mumbled.

The crowd went quiet as the referee turned on his microphone.

"The Play Clock hit zero before the ball was snapped. Therefore, the touchdown does not count, and the game is over."
