Little reminder: Italics = Eren's native language.

Also, I tried to make Eren's dialogue somewhat improper English , but I don't know how well that turned out.


Eren's POV

I followed Jean out of the classroom, well more like he dragged me out. Anyway, Jean was leading me to our first class with Mrs. Bosard, or Petra, and Marco was following close behind.

I had been reintroduced to the old Levi's squad over the summer and it was very emotional. When I saw them I immediately apologized for their deaths while crying, but only a little bit. Okay, I cried a lot, but they assured me that they didn't blame me for what happened and were just happy to see me again.

"Is everything alright, Eren?" Marco asked, suddenly appearing beside me with a soft smile on his face.

"Oh, um yeah." I mumbled.

"If you're worried that Jean is just going to leave you somewhere..." Marco started.

"I wouldn't do that Marco!" Jean said rather loudly, catching the attention of a few people in the halls. "Hey, Eren. You know I wouldn't do that right?"

"Of course, Horseface!" I grinned as wide as possible while Marco chuckled.

"Hey! I know you just insulted me, you bastard!" Jean whispered harshly, probably as to not attract any more attention. "Stop laughing, Marco!"

"I'm sorry." Marco chuckled out is apology. "Hey, were here. Are you ready for your first class, Eren?"

"Sure..." To be honest, I was really nervous.

We walked into the classroom and everyone was talking with each other. Petra, or I guess I should call her Mrs. Bosard, was walking towards Jean, Marco, and I with a kind smile on her face.

"Jean, Marco, please take your seats." Petra grabbed me and faced me towards the class. "Everyone listen up! We have a new student joining us! His name is Eren Jäger and I want you all to make him feel welcome. He's still pretty new to the English language so be patient with him! Eren, you can sit in the empty seat up front."

As I took my seat, I felt everyone's eyes on me and that made me really uncomfortable. Petra came over and handed me a thick book with the words 'Health and Wellness' printed on the front. I looked at in horror because English is a lot harder to read than to speak and I honestly didn't know what I would do with this giant book.

"Don't worry Eren. If you have any trouble understanding you can always ask me or Levi." Petra smiled reassuringly before walking back up to the front of the classroom.

I heard some kids whispering stuff about Levi, but Petra silence them all so she could talk.

"Alright everyone, I had planned to give you guys this period as a study hall because it's your last day before Thanksgiving break. So try to keep your voices down and maybe you can use this time to get to know Eren better." Petra announced, walking to her desk and sitting down.

The class erupted into chatter, and before I could figure out what was happening, a group of people was gathering around me.

"Hi, Eren! I'm Emily!"

"Hi..." I tried replying, but was interrupted by another kid.

"How do you know Mr. Ackerman?"

"...I live with him." As soon as I said that another person began talking.

"What's that like? Is he mean to you?"

"Um...no, he..." Does everyone act like this here?

"Are you related to Dr. and Mrs. Jäger?"

"...reelayted?" I recognized my last name, but I didn't understand."

"Where are you from?"

"..." I was staring to feel really uncomfortable and hot from all these peoples crowding around me.

"What language do you speak?"

"Do you understand us?"

"Uh...Where is Mrs. Bosard?" I finally managed to ask.

"Oh! She went to the teacher's lounge. Why? Do you need help? I'll help you!"

Everyone waited to see what I was going to say.

"Hey! stop crowding around him." Jean started shooing people away. "You all act like you've never met a new kid before, geez!"

"Sorry about that Eren." Marco apologized even though it wasn't his fault.

"It's fine, I was just um...confused? By all the questions." I smiled awkwardly.

"Well, you don't have to worry about it next period cause we've got Mr. Clean." Jean rolled his eyes. "But who knows, maybe he'll be nicer with you there."

2nd Period

Jean's POV

I was wrong.

Lunch Time

Eren's POV

So far my day was going much better than I had expected. First period with Petra was a little...hectic. Second period, which was English, with Levi was great! Jean was right, Levi was really nice and no one bothered me! Third period was Chemistry with Hange, I wasn't too sure what chemistry was, but it involved experiments with dangerous things. Fourth period was History with Moblit. Fifth period was Art with Erwin, which was really, really, really weird.

Flashback

"Alright kids, I want you paint your innermost desires, just let that brush be the mouthpiece for your heart!" Erwin, or Mr. Smith, said.

"Ymir, if you paint one more picture depicting Krista's breasts, I swear..." Erwin looked at her with a stern face.

"You said to paint what I wanted the most and I want Krista's boobs." Ymir said while she continued to paint breasts on her canvas.

"Very well...OH MY! Whose been drawing dicks!?"shrieked Erwin. "You kids, all you people care about is genitalia!"

"Oooo! Eren, what is this!" Erwin looked approvingly at my painting.

"Umm...freedom? Yeah, freedom." It was a penis.

"Very good, Eren!" Erwin praised.

End Flashback

I was pulled back into the present by the sound of someone talking.

"I can't believe you painted a dick and got away with it." Jean complained. "And what was that nonsense about freedom."

"I must paint nice penis." I shrugged.

We were on our way to the school eating place, I forget what they call it, but you eat there and that's what really matters.

Levi had packed my lunch for me so jean and Marco told me to go sit down and they'd join me soon. I looked around confused until Marco kindly pointed me towards a table that had Mikasa and Armin already sitting down.

I sat down beside Mikasa who immediately stopped her conversation with Armin to look at me.

"Eren..."

I held my hand up to stop her because I already knew what she was going to say.

"Let the past go, I'm here now. Let's keep being friends." I smiled at her and she returned the gesture.

"Alright, Eren." She gave me a quick hug from the side. "How has your day been?"

"You and Jean didn't fight, I hope." Armin added in.

"It was good, I had lot of fun!" I smiled. "And no, Armin, I did not fight Jean."

The rest of lunch went by quickly. My friends and I had fun and it was great being with them again.

6th Period

Jean, Marco, and I walked to our next class. They didn't seem too excited about it.

"Why don't we skip?" Jean asked suddenly.

"You say that everyday, but never follow through with it." Marco sighed. "Besides, we'll get in trouble. Miss Zoë, I mean, Mrs. Berner will know that Eren didn't come and we'll get in trouble with Mr. Ackerman."

"Ugh, I know, but math is terrible, even if Miss Zoë is pretty lenient with us." Jean complained.

"I know, and it's Mrs. Berner now, remember? She married Mr. Berner right before summer break." Marco replied.

"I know, I know. I keep forgetting! Besides, she only married him so that she can make those stupid Bunsen Berner jokes in Chem." Jean turned to go into the room and bumped into Hange.

"Well hello there!" Hange smiled sweetly.

"Oh oh! Umm...Speak of the devil?" I said, remembering the time Levi tried to explain to me what this meant.

"Very good, Eren!" Hange praised me before moving aside to let us into the class.

Jean and Marco took their seats and Hange directed me to my seat and then handed me a large book for the class.

"Alright class! Pop quiz!" Hange said enthusiastically as the class groaned collectively. "We were gonna do nothing today, but Jean insisted we have a pop quiz, so you can thank him later!"

Pretty much everyone turned to Jean and insulted him somehow before writing on the paper that Hange was passing out.

"Eren, bring your chair over to my desk and we're going to go over as many algebraic concepts as possible together."

End of the Day

I was walking back to Levi's classroom after insisting to Jean and Marco that I knew how to get there on my own.

Last period was Gym with Erwin and we played this game called 'dodge ball' and I hated it. Once Mikasa noticed that people were specifically targeting me, she retaliated full force. One kid got sent to the nurse and she had to sit out.

I made it to Levi's room just as he was coming out.

"Hey, how was your first day, Eren?" Levi asked as I followed him to the exit.

"Good." I mumbled.

"That didn't sound convincing. Also, why do you look like a pissed off cat?" Levi held the door open for me.

"It's because he doesn't like dodge ball very much." Erwin chimed in and Levi jumped.

"For fucks sake, Erwin! Don't sneak up on people like that you shit." Levi snapped.

"I'm sorry." Erwin laughed and smacked Levi on the back. "Anyway, Eren you forgot this."

I looked at what Erwin was holding and saw my freedom penis from Art class.

"What is that?" Levi questioned, moving to get a look at it.

"Oh Levi, it's wonderful!" Erwin exclaimed. "Eren here drew a lovely representation of freedom in art today!"

Levi busted out laughing, tears forming in his eyes.

"What's so funny?" Erwin asked. "I haven't seen you laugh this hard since Nile soiled his pants last year."

"That's a penis you dumb shit." Levi choked.

"What? It is not! It's-" Erwin stopped talking and groaned. "Eren, I can't believe you'd do this sort of thing!"

That Night

"Good night, Levi."

"Good night, Eren."

I was just about to fall asleep.

"Pffffft."

"Oh come one, Levi! I can't believe you laughed at that, let alone the fact that you are still laughing at it!"

Levi eventually stopped laughing and we both fell asleep.


I don't think I've ever read a fic with Erwin as an Art teacher.

The next chapter is going to be a short Thanksgiving little thing and I mean SHORT

Then there will be a little school field trip chapter and then a Christmas one!
