Chapter 2: Will This Week End…

The next morning (earlier than yesterday), Eren rose up from his bed and got dressed. He went downstairs and entered the kitchen. His mother had already set his plate on the table in front of a chair. This time it was pancakes. After seeing him come home the day before, she decided to make him something tasty the next day before he goes to school. He inhaled the sweet aroma of his breakfast as he sat down. He grabbed the maple syrup beside the dish and slowly poured it above the perfectly rounded pancakes and watched as butter on top of it slowly melt. When he took a bite out of his mouth-watering, soft, warm, and savory breakfast, his face brighten. He proceeded to eat pancakes with relish until his platter was empty. Although the food was delectable, he didn't feel like going to school. He pleaded his mother if he could call in sick for the day then promised he would go tomorrow. His mom looked at him worriedly, but she forced him to go anyway. And so, Eren found himself outside of his house on the sidewalk with his backpack. It was another sunny day. This time there were clouds in the sky. Not too many for it to rain. He trudged along the cemented walkway with his head lowered, and his hands in his pockets. He was thinking about skipping all his classes for the day. It wouldn't hurt, right? Then again, the school would probably call his mom or dad… Eren frowned at the thought of it as he continued walking the same path. Suddenly, he stopped and glanced up when he heard a familiar voice a few meters ahead of him call his name. It was Armin, and it looked as though Mikasa was also with him but that wasn't what mattered. What mattered was, why they were there? How did they find him? He only met them yesterday, but somehow they knew which street he was in. At least, he doesn't think they know the exact location of his house. After all, Eren was already far away from his home. His mouth hung open as he stared at the two slowly drawing closer to him with what looked like a cd package in their hands. "So much for skipping school today…" He mumbled then came forward with heavy eyes and asked them how they knew which place he lived in.

"Oh, Mikasa knew where you would be," Armin replied after he looked at her. Eren peered over to Mikasa with one of his eyebrows raised. She could tell what his countenance meant.

"No, your wrong. My dad was driving me home from school, and I happened to see you walking down this way," Mikasa quickly explained. Eren lowered his brows and didn't say anything. The two kept their focus on Eren as he trailed on between them without looking back. The two hurriedly follow behind him.

"Hey, Eren! Do you have a favorite genre of movies you like?" Armin asked. Mikasa and Armin were eagerly waiting for his answer. Eren looked at him from the corner of his eyes and said not really. Honestly, it's been so long since he watched a movie or visited the cinemas.

"I see…" Armin looked down in disappointment. Mikasa notice Armin walking slowly before hastening his steps when his eyes lit up. The three were silent for a bit until Armin shouted again. "Hey Eren! Let's watch 21 Jump Street together!" He exclaimed as he raised the small box in his hands above his head.

"No way." Please, leave me alone... the words that kept running through his head as they continued to follow him. Mikasa tilted her head to the side with her eyes still on Eren. She was clenching in front of her of what he thought was a book for a second.

"Let's watch all of Twilight," she suggested. Eren exhaled before telling her that he wasn't interested.

"Don't follow me!" Eren cried out then darted into what looked like an alleyway. Even though he told them that, the two of them pursued him.

"Wait, Ereeeen," Mikasa called out. It sounded like the voices of ghosts or creepy girls you would hear in horror shows…

"What's wrong with them…?" Eren muttered as he peered back. He wasn't familiar with the neighborhood but the only thing he focused on was to get away from them. He could hear their footsteps grow louder.

"You know you want to…" Armin didn't finish his sentence instead he paused when he and Mikasa reached Eren. The three froze as they stared at the five people in front of them with wide eyes. It appeared as though they were handing out something illegal. The five people looked at them as well. It was as though time had stopped. There was a woman with three piercings on her ear. She wore a denim jacket and has her hair parted to one side. One guy in the middle of two other guys held out an open briefcase in front of another man who is… their janitor?! Eren realized. The guy with a dark tank top who looked like he could cause an injury to someone easily, came forward with a packet in his hand that was one of the many inside the case. He extended it out in front of the three who remained still and started talking.

"You don't understand. This is the latest cleaning powder. It works. Just try it at home you'll see," the guy said with a sinister smile. His face was sweating. The man behind him closed the case and clutched it close to him. The other guy beside him looked as though he was glaring at the three.

"No thank you, we're fine! We didn't see anything, okay?!" Eren and Armin shouted. Armin turned around and ran ahead without looking back followed by Mikasa and after her, Eren. When the three had already left the alleyway, the guys started yelling in their group.

"Oluo! This is your fault packing it in such as misleading way!" The guy who glared at Eren, Mikasa, and Armin yelled. The female beside him had her hands on her hips with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Why can't you give it to him like a normal person?!" She shouted at the man holding the briefcase tightly against his chest.

"I thought the boss might remember the old days and come back to us!" He answered. The guy in the dark tank top had a fist to his head with his eyes shut, and his eyebrows pushed in.

"Fine," the janitor said. "I know what they look like. His name's Ereeeen," he said in a monotone voice.

When the three finally reached the front of the school's stair steps—

They were out of breath. Armin had his hands above his knee with his head down as he coughed. "Was the man in the jumpsuit, the school janitor?" Eren questioned under his breath. His head faced up with his hands on his hips.

"Yeah…" Armin paused to draw in some air again. "He's Mister Levi. Our school's best janitor. He's known to keep the school and floors clean and tidy. I didn't expect him to be involved with…" There was a stillness in the air as they felt a light breeze passed by them. "What should we do? Should we go tell the school?" Armin asked as he slowly straightened himself up.

"Yeah, but who?" Eren questioned. Armin was silent for a moment then finally suggested the three should tell this to Dr. Zoe and Mr. Smith.

"I heard they're friends with him after all."

Once lunch began Eren, Armin, and Mikasa entered the teacher's lounge together. "Look there they are," the three crept to the table that Armin pointed at with two people who looked to be chatting peacefully.

"Mr. Smith. Dr. Zoe," Eren called out.

"There's a little something we wanted to ask…" Armin said. They didn't stop trembling.

"We heard that you're good friends with Mister Levi, the janitor," Eren added. Mikasa stuck out her index finger at the surface of the table. Each table had the same pack they saw this morning.

"That…" The whites of Mikasa, Armin, and Eren's eyes grew visible. Dr. Hange placed her drink down before shifting her focus to the three, and Mr. Smith turned his head to face them.

"What about Levi?" Mr. Smith asked.

"Go ahead, ask us anything," Hange insisted.

"N-no nevermind. It was nothing!" Eren responded. The three immediately turned around and hastened their pace. When they were at least a meter or two away from the teachers, they began whispering.

"This school… it's his turf already…" Armin said in a shaky voice.

"The police…...His organization will retaliate," Mikasa added.

"This is no good…" Eren answered. Not only were the some of the students strange, the school teachers have connections with gang related members. It's official, this school, the students, the teachers are crazy. But what can he do? It's not like he can transfer to another highschool. His mother wouldn't let him, Eren thought. He wished he hadn't seen what he saw. He wished he didn't take that route this morning. He wished he could just stay in his bedroom.

Throughout the rest of the week he couldn't stop thinking about the janitor and the teachers at his school. They kept him awake at night... It wasn't until Sunday, he recieved an unexpected meet.

Eren rose from his bed and went to the bathroom with his eyes still half-opened. He grabbed his toothbrush from the cup on the sink and firmly pressed the end of the toothpaste on to his brush. He slowly began brushing his teeth then glanced at the mirror as his eyes slowly widen. It was him, the janitor. Eren paused and took the brush out of his mouth. He continued to stare at the mirror without moving a muscle. Mister Levi was leaning against the wall digging underneath his jumpsuit. How... did he get in the house? Why is he here, could it be because of what he witnessed days ago? What was he planning to do? What does he want with me? What's with the school? The questions kept spiralling in his mind. His mother didn't know that the school janitor somehow entered their house. She was already gone this morning to the supermarket, and it's the weekend. "Good morning…...Eren," he finally spoke, as he carefully pulled out a packet raising it up to his chin. "I've come to clean." Eren didn't say anything. He remained paralyzed for a long time it wasn't until a few moments later he found himself on his bathroom floor scrubbing it back and forth rapidly. "What an incredible cleaning product this is!" Eren cried out.

"Yes, it just came out," Mister Levi responded. Not only did they scour the bathroom floor but also every flooring tile in the house. Eren had finally learned the truth behind the event that he mistakenly assumed was illegal. The house cleaning took them until lunch hour when his mother came back. Mister Levi was already gone by then. Eren was in his room when he caught the sound of the front door shut. A few minutes later he heard his mother calling his name. He stopped midway down the steps.

"Eren! Did you clean the floors today?" He was quiet for a little before telling her yes. When his mom heard his answer, she went back into the kitchen with her face beaming.

The Queen Bee's House—

"Historia!" Her dad shouted. The house was still. Not a single footstep made. He continued to call until he saw her come down the stairs halfway with a smartphone in her hand. Apparently, she was talking with another person that was now placed on mute. She had on a dull expression as she stared at her father. He exhaled before sharing with her the news. "Your sister, will be coming back home a few days later…" Her eyes widen for a moment as she drops her right hand from her ear to her side. She pressed her lips together with her eyebrows furrowed. Both of her hands clenched with the phone still in her right.

"Will... she be back before this coming Saturday?" She asked in a small voice.

"Your sister said she has more people she needs to help out. Therefore she won't be able to attend," her father replied. Historia turned her back on her father and quietly went back into her room with the door shut behind her. With the person who was on the phone still muted, she staggered to her fluffy and fresh mattress bed and plopped on to it. She pulled the pillow beside her and wrapped her arms around it.

"Again…" she muttered.

The next day—

Glorious of all days! It was in fact! Monday...

The day that would make a regular student like Eren cry. Oh, how boring it is to go back to that crazed school. The misunderstanding between him and the janitor solved, but he still couldn't get over the fact that he broke into his home just so he could display the power of the cleaning item, he thought. He opened his closet and grabbed his washed white-collar shirt and blue denim jeans. He made his way down the stair steps and entered the kitchen. He saw his father sitting in a chair next to the one Eren usually sits in, holding up a newspaper in front of him. When his father heard Eren took a seat in the empty chair, he lowered the paper and looked at him. "Oh, Eren good morning. How was school last week?" He asked.

"It was okay, but…" He hesitated then finally said what he had wanted to say for a long time now. "I find the school weird. I would like to go back to my old school." His mother peeked over her shoulder with a surprise on her face. He watched as they glanced at each other in concern..

"And why do you say that, Eren?" His dad questioned. Eren shrugged then averted his eyes from him.

"Nevermind..." Right when his mom placed the dish in front of him, Eren got up from his chair.

"Are you not going to eat breakfast?!" She called out.

"I'm not hungry." His parents listened as the front door creak then shut.

"I wonder why he would say that. I thought he was in a good mood after what he did yesterday," Eren's mother, Carla said. His dad peered up at her with an eyebrow raised.

"Yesterday?" Carla shifted her eyes from the open hallway in front of the kitchen to Grisha.

"He polished all the floors," she replied.

"Oh…" Although it sounded like he understood, he couldn't help but give her a bewildered expression. Eren was walking the same path with his back hunched forward. He continued to hear the sounds of rumbling within him as headed to school...

During break or lunch—

Some of the students sat outside of campus on the grass until their next class. "So, about the direction the Dogooder club is going to go in…"

"Let us hear it, Reiner," a guy leaning against the tree trunk exclaimed with his eyes shut. Reiner resumed as he adjusted his guitar.

"I want to save all those poor students who always let themselves get tricked by baseless rumors." He smirked at the female student with blonde hair beside him. She sat with her knees up, and her eyes glued to her phone.

"That's deep," the boy with a black bowl hair cut on the other side of him replied.

"Yes… we need to bring this school on to a higher level…" Reiner added.

"I could cry right now," a girl with shaggy light brown hair answered whose situated next to the guy with the bowl cut. They heard a yell about three meters away. Apparently, there was a bird that poop on a guy's head. A girl with her hair tied behind him who was chasing after the bird laughed. After the laughing died out, Reiner started playing his guitar as he sneaked glances at the girl who still had her eyes on her smartphone. Except little did he know, she wasn't interested at his serenade or him in the slightest...

God, this gorilla is boring me to death, she thought. She continued to keep her eyes on her device. How did this boring primate end up as a popular student at school? Stop looking at me, you disgusting idiot, stop it, all you're good for is tackling people. And all your little sidekicks sound like they might as well be ais… What is the Do-Gooder club anyway? All you do is say stuff that you're never going to do but sounds nice right? Right? Don't you find it boring? The girl sigh then peered up from her phone. And you too, Ymir. Once you get tired of smelling my scalp, you'd better hurry up and start on my homework… Oh. Her eyes lit up when she saw a guy with his back bent, and his hand shoved in his pockets pass by.

I see you're walking all by your dull self yet again. I understand you… you're the same way right? Everything in this world is just so boring to you. We've never spoken before, but I understand. Her expression grew soft. Looking at you makes me feel calm… when I was little, I used to stuff bottles full of dirt and ants and just stare at them, but seeing you reminds me of that… Hm? Her eyebrows raised as she watched a few students coming around him. Huh… so you made some friends… lame… so you ended up falling in with the nerds? Ugh… boring… but, well… I'm sure you'll get bored of those dorks after they show you a bunch of uninteresting movies or something, right?... Hm? Huh… looks like the delinquents have it in for them… what… are you really going to stick up for those gross nerds. Oh, I get it… having those nerds rely on you makes you feel good… I know you're not doing it out of justice. You're just forcing yourself to do it… I know you really don't care about them at all… HUH? Isn't that… the janitor who they say used to be a mob boss? Huh? How do they know each other?It looks like he likes them… Hmm… so there's a lot going on here… hmm… I see so I was all alone. Reiner noticed her face darkened.

"What's wrong, Historia? Reiner asked. How boring she thought. She raised her finger at the guy she was just staring at the entire time and suddenly the words from her head came out of her mouth.

"He did something awful to me." Everyone around her froze with their eyes on the guy she pointed. The words that she abruptly said brought shock all around school.

After fifth period—

On Eren's way to his locker when his class ended, he felt a guy's shoulder knock his. Although they said excuse me, the force seemed strong. Another boy kicked him from behind, but Eren managed to keep himself from falling down. As he continued walking to his locker, two guys splashed their drinks directly at his face. His eyes slowly opened after he heard them say their hand slipped. When he finally reached his locker, he opened it and piles of garbage spewed out to the no longer clean floor. "What the heck?" He muttered as he listened to people in the halls giggle.

"Dark Knight!" He turned around and saw Armin and Mikasa. Armin held up his phone in front of him. It showed a picture of Eren. Not a pleasant-looking picture... Above his photo read as 'WANTED'.

"What did you do Eren!? There is a rumor saying you did horrible things to Historia!?" Armin said.

"Historia?" For some reason he heard that name somewhere before, but he still didn't know who they were. Armin turned around and pointed at a girl who had her back to the wall as she stared directly at them. There were five other people around her glaring at Eren.

In Historia's head—

Shoot… didn't think my words could create such a scene. She stared at Eren from behind with his eyes cast to the ground as he stood in front of his locker. Why did these guys spread nonsense like that?! So they didn't tell the truth and save those poor students who are fooled by groundless rumors?! Historia furrowed her eyebrows. She noticed the people around her looked satisfied after seeing Eren's experience.

...I beg you all to stop putting on a face like a justice enforcer who issued a judgement to the bad people! Ahhhh… what should I do… if I confess it's me who said a nonsense, I don't know what will happen to me… She watched as Armin pointed at her. Ugh, oh no they are coming this way! Her eyes lowered. I'll apologize. If I face you wholeheartedly you will understand me.

"Ah, Historia?" Reiner realized that she was coming toward Eren as he came forward to her. Historia kept her arms crossed. Armin and Mikasa stared at the two while Ymir and Reiner scowled at Eren. When they were within a foot apart, Eren opened his mouth.

"Who are you? Why don't you speak out what I've done?" She watched as the soda fell from his black hair before answering.

"Why don't you just ask your heart properly? You should know, shouldn't you? Not a single word came out as he stood there with his mouth open. Eren already knew the school was insane, and it was at this point he would do something crazy too. Historia anxiously waited… waited for an answer. Instead of a response, she found her head inside his mouth. It was long enough for people in the hallways to hear her screaming and start pulling out their smartphones to record the scene for at least six seconds. Reiner was strong enough to shove Eren off and on to the ground. Four of them, except the guy with the short black hair began booting him in the ass non-stop. Eren kept his hands on the back of his head. Historia stood behind covering her ears as water fell down from her cheeks. Armin and Mikasa tried to tell them to stop, but they didn't cease until a teacher came over. Armin followed behind Eren as they went into the bathroom. Eren washed his face with sink water then looked up at the mirror.

"Are you alright?" Armin asked. He didn't respond. Well, of course he wasn't okay but still, Armin thought. He glanced up when he heard Eren breathe out.

"Will this week just end…" When Eren went inside his science class, the students kept their eyes focused on him as he walked to his seat and sat down. He rested one side of his cheek on his palm and stared out the window as he listened to Dr. Zoe.

"Let's see here. Everyone but…" The teacher stopped then glanced at the classroom door. Everyone but Eren looked at the door. He didn't turn his head until the teacher continued. "I was just about to mark you not here again, Historia." His eyes widen after he heard her name. He watched as she slowly made her way to the table he was in. "Ah, right. Historia used to sit there Eren. But it's fine since there's another empty chair next to you. You can take that last seat Historia," Dr. Zoe exclaimed. She steadily took a seat next to Eren with her head faced away from him. "Alright class, now that everyone is present. We will be working on a project for the rest of the week. Your partner is the person your sitting beside." Eren and Historia quickly shifted their focus to Dr. Zoe with their eyes widen.

Another long week, he thought.

Author explanation: I admit, I did rush the time and the events. I did it to where I would reach the action/climax point early. This is because the first three chapters are basically based off of the Highschool AU previews with added ideas that would be mentioned later on. I chose to start from Eren's first day, and then I would build my own scenarios later on.
