*Friday Morning*

The first week flies by as Friday rolls around in a blink. Your body has been slowly getting used to waking up at the asscrack of dawn, to your chagrin. Friday's are your day off thankfully, but you still want to try and keep a steady routine.

It was such a fun first week, you ended up meeting the rest of the girls in the group during a few hangouts. Although intimidating at first, you could really see yourself getting super close to them. They all had something different to offer, and they welcomed you with open arms.

You and Mikasa vibed instantly, bonding over your love for going to the gym and sticking it to the patriarchy. Even more so, you guys made plans to hit the gym together this morning. After seeing her abs, you were determined to make it through one of her workouts.

Annie was a little bit more tough to crack, but you found an efficient way to communicate with her through meaningful glances. Kind of reminded you of the office, in a funny way. She seemed to really value honesty and bluntness, which you made note of.

Getting along with Sasha, Mikasa, and even Annie came easily. There were rarely lapses in conversation, they were riddled with laughter, you guys even started having your own inside jokes,

Historia, on the other hand, was something else. You felt like you towered over her, as you and the three other girls stood around 5'8", whereas she was barely hitting 5'2". Not that you had anything against short girls, but this one in particular rubbed you the wrong way.

You could tell she loved to gossip, sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Making sure you never said too much around her, you decided to keep her close still. She didn't seem like someone you would want to make an enemy out of, you could play the game just as well as she could.

Getting dressed haphazardly, you tossed on a cropped muscle tee and bike shorts that made your ass look plump and perky. Might as well make a good impression, right?

Grabbing your backpack and sneakers you make your way out the door.

The sun never seemed to stop shining in Paradis. The past few days you've been telling yourself it's a gift from your dad, looking over you in the sky.

It made you feel better thinking that he was looking over you, his little ray of sunshine. The daytime brought on opportunity, it brought out a good, healthy version of you. The dopamine you received from the sunlight was irreplaceable.

Although you used to love the night, its loneliness tended to encumber you, swallow you whole. As easy as it is to get lost in the dark, it's just as easy to lose yourself. It took a conscious effort sometimes to remember to keep being in control at night.

Your thoughts are interrupted as you get to the large school gym.

10am rolls around, the agreed upon time, just as you stroll into the gym.

The entrance had a large atrium, and an entire wall of the gym was all window, floor to ceiling. It gave the space a lot of natural light and it looked out onto the school's football field.

You walk into the locker room and spot Mikasa.

"What's up Meeks", you nod at the girl.

"Hey y/n, ready to get your ass kicked?" she replies.

"Fuck yeah baby, as ready as I'll ever be" you say with a smile, putting your bag in the locker. You are so not fucking ready.

Although you were regularly sporty and had a natural athletic inclination, you didn't dedicate much time to the gym and working out recently, due to extenuating circumstances. But you were so ready to put your energy and time into something good for you, especially with a new friend.
