It's natural to want to follow your sibling around everywhere, no matter what. Even if that means joining the Survey Crops and signing your life away. But if Eren is going to fight, so will Sophie.
Sophie Yeager has had her dreams ripped away from...
"Is he the reason you were upset!" Jean exclaims and Armin and Sasha glance over at us. "I'll break his pretty little boy nose again!"
"Shhh," I wave my hands in his face. "It's not like that! He just didn't know about Marco... I had to tell him and it brought up some feelings and I was sad."
"Oh," Jean relaxes. "Sorry... I just was worried he did or said something."
"No, nothing like that."
"Okay good," Jean moves out of the doorway. "I'll do it though..."
"Do what?" I look at the tall boy suspiciously.
"Break his nose."
"Oh Jean," I shake my head with a little laugh escaping my mouth. "Come on, we should hurry."
I lead the four of us outside and towards the front of the HQ building, right before the iron gate. A group of Garrison are talking amongst themselves and I spot some familiar blonde hair.
"Speak of the devil..." I sigh.
"Good you guys are here," Charlie, the squad leader waves. "Thanks for your help. All the citizens are freaking out over the Titan fiasco and we haven't been able to control them with our little numbers."
"No problem," Armin smiles. "We're happy to help. Where would you like us to patrol?"
"I'm thinking you guys can go down by the vendors district, since that's where the larger groups of people are at. I'm going to split you guys up with these Garrison members though."
I look at the dozen or so soldiers who are standing by Charlie. Reece is among them, but I'm praying I don't get partnered with him. Along with Jean. That would be bad if those two were in the same squad.
"Jean," the squad leader looks at the scout. "You get Elizabeth, James, and Mary."
I look at the three Garrison members emerge from the group, a sweet looking red headed girl, a shaggy black haired boy, and ones a stunning blonde girl, just like Christa, but she looks way more mature. Less cute and more sexy...

Seeing her walk up to Jean with a smile causes a pang of jealousy in my stomach. She introduces herself to him and he does the same.
"Sophie," Charlie looks to me and I bring my attention to him. "You will have Reece here with Vic and Kaia. You guys take the street near the meat sellers."
Just. My. Luck.
"Sir," I nod. "Bye guys!"
I wave to my friends, making eye contact with Jean. His eyes travels to Reece and then scowls. I want to do the same thing to that girl, but she hasn't done anything wrong. She's just beautiful.
"Bye Soph," Jean waves.
I take a step, leading the four of us away from HQ. With one last glance at the pretty blonde who's either names Elizabeth or Mary... then shut out the toxic thoughts from my mind.
