"-police and units of the East German army began to close the border and, by Sunday morning, 13 August, the border with West Berlin was closed. East German troops and workers had begun to tear up streets running alongside the border to make them impassable to most vehicles and to install barbed wire entanglements and fences along the 156 kilometres around the three western sectors, and the 43 kilometres that divided West and East Berlin. The bar-"
"Alright, Kirschtein, that's enough," the instructor interrupted, glancing up from the paragraph which the student had been reciting. He gave a sigh and picked up the spray bottle of water labeled holy grail of student discipline off of the top of his desk and started down one of the aisles. "Now, the exam over this portion of the textbook is next Friday - which, again, is chapters 4 through 8. Considering how the last test blew over, it would be wise if those of you too lazy to give a shit about this class actually took the time to study for this one."
He kept his steady pace until he reached his desired location right in front of Eren Jaeger's desk, who currently had the eyes of every student in the classroom glued to him though he was likely unaware of that due to the fact that he wasn't conscious and hadn't been for the last ten minutes. Levi didn't waste a second before he pulled the trigger on the spray bottle, releasing a steady mist of water over the boy's head and waiting for him to jolt up before he began speaking again.
"Jaeger, since the exam is approaching soon, could you briefly remind everyone of the year the construction of the Berlin Wall began?"

Eren looked up when called upon. "Uh..." he said, looking in the dead stare of Levi's eyes. He honestly had no idea what the answer was. He looked down at his notes--which, admittedly where mostly doodles--and then glanced back up to the Levi. "T-That... is a good question. The Berlin Wall, which is 159 kilometers long, was constructed..." As he spoke, he looked panicked around the room. Mikasa was watching him, but wasn't about to save him frmo drowning.
When he saw Armin, he could see the blonde's hands moving under his desk. He saw one, then six. Then he moved his hand again. One then six. "...in 1916..?" He said, suddenly turning to face Levi, who was at his desk. "Yeah! 1916."
Armin lowered his head into his notebook. Idiot. The fucking idiot. If he got in trouble for this, Eren, the dumbass was dead.

Levi just watched him, his face lacking any sort of emotion. Why the hell was he a teacher again? At what point in his life did he decide on this career path? Students like Eren Jaeger made him question himself on a daily basis.
He sighed and propped his arm up on his desk, letting his chin rest on his knuckles. "Well, yes. That would be the correct answer, if the Wall had been built during World War 1. But unfortunately, the Germans weren't that good at multitasking - and apparently still aren't," he mumbled the last part under his breath before standing up again. "The answer was 1961. Armin, I commend you on your effort but it won't help your friend if he's a moron."
He headed behind his desk to the chalkboard, where he wrote down the homework and reading assignment for the day. Then he turned around, dusted the excess chalk off his hands, and cleared his throat. "Like always, your reading assignment and homework are written on the board. Before we dismiss, if anyone has their sheets for the upcoming camping trip signed, you can either turn them in to me or Zoe in classroom 402, two rooms down."
He still couldn't believe he wasn't going to be stuck chaperoning their asses.

Eren paled and looked to Armin for a second. W-What? How the hell could he. Oh... OH! So, he had it backwards. Damn it... Well... yeah, this was awkward.
At least Levi didn't take away points for cheating. "Hey! I'm not a moron!" he suddenly said, only to have Sasha kick him under his desk. He looked back at her and realized she was eating part of her lunch. Actually, she had eaten almost all of while sitting behind him.
"Yeah... a moron." Armin muttered under his breath. He said it softly enough so that no one could hear him. But he heard Annie move behind him, so he knew she'd heard it. He knew that she wouldn't tell Eren, so it was okay. They were pretty good friends, so there was very little risk that that would get back to Eren. And, even if it did, he was a moron.
Armin wrote the homework in his planner and then put it into his backpack. He took out his permission slip for the camping trip and another sheet of paper that they asked for with allergies and things like that, as well as any supplies they'd be willing to bring. He had a tent and a few lanterns he could bring. It was something at the very least, right. But, he was going to give it to Zoe instead, since... you know... he just cheated in Levi's class.

Mikasa just shook her head as she searched through her binder for the permission slip. Originally their class camping trip had been booked at a luxurious log hotel on a mountain which overlooked the nearby forest...but a few "mysterious" complications had caused a change of plans. Apparently they were now pitching tents in said forest instead. After finding out, Mikasa didn't really want to go anymore, but because Eren still wanted to go, she and Armin didn't really have a choice anymore considering they'd had to go to keep his ass out of trouble.
She slid out of her seat and walked toward Eren's, handing him his permission slip when she saw him searching for it. "Here, you left it with me yesterday because you didn't want to lose it."
"Looks like he's already lost some other things," Jean piped up as he walked by, his backpack slung over his shoulder and his slip tucked between his fingers. He looked back at him and just smirked, as if to mock him. Someone came up behind him and shoved him out of the aisle and into one of the desks.
"-fuck outta the way pony boy."
"Oh good, Ymir you can stay behind and clean up the classroom today. Everyone else, hurry up and get the hell out."

Eren was going through his backpack, looking for his permission slip to slam on Levi's desk and knock over his bottle of hand sanitizer like it was the fucking Berlin wall. Maybe he should empty the bottle like he did last week. Levi actually left the class to get more from the teacher's lounge where he had some waiting for him. Yeah... this was their history professor. He couldn't find it.Oh no! Did Mikasa take it because she didn't want to go anymore? Did Jean take it, that sly bastard? He would no doubt try to feel Mikasa up in the mountains. No! No that couldn't happen. He had to be there to protect her from that horse-ass-face.
He came out of his fantasy when Mikasa offered it to him and he smiled at her. "Thank you. I did forget.. thanks." He said, taking it from her and standing up, sliding his notebook into his bag and zipping it. He shouldered the bag as Jean walked by. He flipped him off and then rolled his eyes, annoyed.
"Ymir..." Historia whined when she was assigned to stay behind and clean up. She moved one of her bobbypins in her hair that had come lose and started to help straighten the desks and push in the chairs so the two of them would be on time for class.

She gave him a small smile and followed him and Armin toward's the exit of the room, handing the slips their teacher, who heavily sanitized his hands after collecting them all. He was a really smart man and a good teacher - even if a little strict - but he was also a complete weirdo when it came to cleanliness. Behind them, she heard Reiner whisper rather loudly - and intentionally so - 'well I did jack off before class so' as he passed Levi. The last thing Mikasa saw before she left the room was Levi's face stuck in an expression of complete horror whilst staring at his hands. She actually had to hold in a laugh as she averted her attention back to the boys that were a few steps ahead of her.
"Hey, try not to fall asleep in Ms. Zoe's class though, I'm actually kind of worried at what type of crazy punishment she'll think of this time," she said to Eren when she caught up to them. Last week Connie had fallen asleep and she'd actually borrowed a few items from the chemistry class next door and managed to set his desk on fire. The fire was a mix of chemicals and would go out on it's own in a few seconds but in those few seconds Connie had woken up, flailed around, and lost half his eyebrow. So yeah, that was fun.
Ymir looked over at the petite girl and just smirked. "Come on, Jean's just as much of an asshole as I am." After she straightened up the desks in that half ass-ed way she liked to apply to most aspects of her life, she put her hands on the small blonde girl's shoulders and gently nudged her toward the exit. "Let's get the hell out of here before he makes us do something stupid like clean the windows again." Before Levi could lecture them on not finishing properly, she ducked at out of the room with Historia.

"Reiner no wiping, Reiner no wiping!" Eren chanted as he walked behind Reinder and heard his comment along with Mikasa. But, instead of laughing, he had a comment to go with it. Of course, he could see the horrified look on Levi's face. "Is that why you were shaking everyone's hand before class started? You sly motha fucka." He managed to get all of that in right before leaving the room. Take that Levi! I am not a moron...
As they went toward their next class, Eren sipped from his water bottle. "Sleep? I'd rather fall asleep in Levi's class. I'm less likely to get injured. And he likes kicking my desk." He said as they went to their seats. For the moment, Eren was sitting in Historia's seat so he could talk to Reiner.
"Hey..." He said, quietly, not wanting to get Mikasa and Armin's attention. "Remember we talked about taking some fireworks on the trip with us? How do you want to smuggle them onto the bus? In a duffel bag, or did you have another idea?"
Historia helped, but put more effort into straightening the desks. Once she finished, she was escorted out of the room. Looking over her shoulder, a smile appeared on her face. "Ymir, please, don't be so rude to Jean. I know he's not the nicest person, but you still shouldn't stoop to his level." A pause, which was followed by one of the smiles that Ymir swooned over for being sweet, "We could always save it for the camping trip?"

Mikasa entered the classroom and took her seat next to Armin, looking behind her and eyeing Eren. "What do you think he and Reiner are up to?" she asked the blonde. For some reason she had a feeling that this camping trip wouldn't be as relaxing as it was intended to be. She and Armin would likely be running behind Eren while cleaning up her mess. The idea didn't really bother her. She liked being with him and she was sure Armin felt the same way. Eren could be reckless but he was their best friend.
Reiner leaned forward, resting his strong forearms on the table. "No, I think the duffel bag idea would be too bulky and suspicious. We can either hide them within our own bags,keep them between layers of clothes until we actually get to the site and can find a better place. Or we can hide them on our bodies. It's not they're going to check us. I mean we're going to a forest, not an airport. Since I'm bigger than you I can probably hide a lot without anyone even noticing." He heard Bertholdt shift beside him and he sat back in his seat. "It's gonna be great, I think."
Ymir just sighed, but smiled anyway. "I guess so, little one," she replied, reaching down to ruffle the hair Historia had just fixed. She hurried with her to the other class - well kind of hurried kind of forced by Historia, whatever - and took a seat in her normal spot. The teacher wasn't in the room yet but that wasn't nothing new. In front of her, she noticed Eren and Reiner pretty into whatever it was they were talking about, which usually meant something interesting. She leaned forward. "Yo, what is it we're talking about? Did someone say fireworks?"

Armin glanced toward the two talking and he got a bad feeling. You know that bad, sinking feeling you get when you get up to a fast food line and you don't know what you want? Or when a waitress looks at you and you totally forgot what you wanted? Or when your best friend, who is nice and charismatic, but also dumb as a brick that's been crushed by a house, is definately planning something that you are probably going to have to run around cleaning up for hours in the middle of the woods were there probably aren't going to be showers? Possibly even causing a forest fire that threatens the lives of thousands? Yeah, Armin had that deep sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach right now and was very much under the assumption that Eren was planning a forest fire level catastrophe. "Yeah..." he said, looking to Mikasa. "I just hope it's something we can handle..." He added, glancing across the room at Annie, secretly thinking that he should beg her to help him fix whatever the hell Eren was going to come up with during this disaster... no, trip. Yeah, during this camping trip.
"Strap them to us?" Eren questioned, quite surprised by that. "That might work for you and Mr. Colossal over here, but there's no way that would work for me. Some of the fireworks we got are almost five feet tall, that would be way too obvious and you know it. I think we should mix them in with our stuff and see how many we have left over. I mean, we only bought what? Like fifty fireworks?" he said, as if this was a conservative amount that most 17 year old high school students would just happen to have mixed with their clothing.
When Ymir leaned over, Eren tensed and turned to her. At first he wanted to tell the dyke to fuck off, but knew better. "Uhh..." He said, looking at Reiner, then to Ymir. "Nothing." He stated, as if it would fly away and she'd forget like a goldfish.
Historia leaned toward them. "This sounds like it could be fun. I thin k we should help them. What do you say, Ymir?"

Mikasa watched for a moment later before she turned back around, taking out her things for the class. "Yeah, I hope so too..." Only she had a feeling that she and Armin were far from being even remotely right. She could see Annie just shake her head from across the room where she was sitting next to the boys, although she didn't seem interested in whatever they were talking about.
Needless to say, Ymir didn't like being ignored or lied to, and she was definitely being lied to. She looked over at Eren. "Look here you little faggot, I'm sitting right here. I've already literally heard part of your damn conversation involving fireworks and the camping trip so you should just tell me because if you're thinking of doing something to bring some actual entertainment to this shitty ass field trip you better let me in on it," she said as quietly as she could, but didn't hold back the attitude.
Reiner turned in his seat, putting his arm over the back of his chair, holding up his other hand as if to say he was surrendering. "Alright, alright. You probably already figured it out, but Eren and I got the idea to bring some fireworks to the trip to spice things up. It's gonna be boring otherwise. All the other classes got fun trips but ours is being fucked over so we might as well take advantage. So can you offer up some space in your bag to hide some or what?"
Ymir was definitely interested now. She dropped an arm over Historia's petite frame and smirked. "What do you think? Wanna do it? There's a chance you might get in trouble so if you don't want to.."
Reiner nodded. "Okay, we might still need some help though we've got a lot of it." He looked over at Annie, who sat scribbling in her notebook with no interest in what was going around her. "Hey, Annie. Wanna help us with something?"
"Not really."

Historia glanced when when Ymir asked her opinion. She let out a soft sigh and nodded. "It sounds like it could be fun. And yes, I think we could participate in this firework shenanigans." Was her gleeful response, she actually looked genuinely excited. Her blue eyes were wide and she leaned forward, her side ponytail dipping down the curve of her breast. "Do we get to set off a few since we're helping? Please? That sounds exciting!"
Eren stood up and was about to stand off with Ymir, the bitchy man-dyke when Bertholdt grabbed him the arm and pushed him into another empty seat. The shorter male was about to yell at him, but the stern look from the sweaty face silenced him. Bertholdt always looked nervous, like he was just perpetually farting throughout the day and no one knew but him. This calmed Eren and he looked to Ymir as Reiner explained what was going on. Huh, so she wanted in. That, was actually a god thing, right? "If we're including more people can we get some more fireworks?" Then he hesitated and leaned closer to Reiner for a second. "You do realize this also means we're going to need more weed, right? We can't have a campfire and just not offer them a joint, ya know?" He said, knowing that Ymir and Historia could hear them, since he wasn't trying to exclude them, just everyone else. Like the teachers.
Bertholdt looked over at Annie. He was quiet the entire time, but he looked over her shoulder to see what she was writing. "It'd make you smile."

Ymir was genuinely excited when Historia announced that it was alright with her, which hell, basically meant she could do whatever. It wasn't like she needed approval from her, she just didn't want to do anything that would make her mad because a mad little blonde was never a good thing. Not that she was whipped or anything. Not like she would marry her the moment the girl asked. Nope. "Great, Reiner you have my number just update me and let us know what we need to do." She then leaned back and looked over at Historia, a small smile gracing her lips. "Don't worry, I'm gonna make sure you get to set some off, okay? Even if I have to beat someone up."
Reiner scratched the side of his forehead."Yeah I guess so, huh. I'll figure it out. Don't know how we'll go about smoking it around the campfire, I assume Zoe and Captain Constipated will be sitting with us. We might have to sneak out and find another spot." He sat up, feeling slightly more relieved now that they had more people to help them sneak in the fireworks. Ymir was pretty reliable and wasn't a likely person to tell the teachers about what was going on and Historia was likely to go along with what Ymir was doing so either way it was fine. Annie didn't care enough and he didn't even know if she knew enough about what even going on. She, Reiner, and Bertholdt had basically grown up knowing each other so she would likely not betray them. Likely.
Annie closed her biology notebook, considering she wasn't writing anything useful, just phrases an words they were studying to help jog her memory for the class. Keeping up with Hanji Zoe was a difficult task sometimes, considering she often liked to jump from topic to topic when she was excited. She gave a glance up to Bertholdt, who pretty much loomed over her even sitting down, and she shrugged a little. "I don't really want any part in it but I guess watching it play out might be something amusing to watch."

Historia was glad that Ymir had this reaction. This was something she wanted and it made her happy to keep her girl friend happy. Maybe there were bending the rules a little and doing something that they shouldn't be doing, but it would be worth it in the end. She loved Ymir more than anything and was made so much stronger by her. Leaning up, he gently kissed Ymir's cheek happily with a sweet smooching sound. "Thank you, if you'd do that for me and make sure I get to set a few off, I would be grateful forever!" She cooed happily before smoothing out her lilac colored skirt and sitting at her desk that Eren had previously vacated. Once seated, she took out her notebook and a pen. She held her hand across the aisle, offering to hold Ymir's hand in class.
Eren got up from the seat Bertholdt tossed him into, somewhat defeated and went to his assigned seat. He sat down behind Mikasa and smiled at her. "Don't worry." He said, seeing her pursed lips behind the red scarf about her neck. He leaned forward and pulled some of her bangs from her face. The ends had gotten stuck in her lip gloss and was sticking between her lips. He smiled at her and then leaned back in his eat. "It'll be okay, Mikasa. It's a surprise and you'll like it, I promise. No running around. This won't be like the hamster incident."
Armin leaned over his desk. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Eren said quickly, obviously angry.
The door flew open. "Sweet Jolly ranchers!" Hanji screamed darting into the room. She had a lamp in her hand and she slammed it on her desk. The beads hanging down from the lamp shook as she did so. "You will never guess what happened? Bean started eating lettuce last night! And... And get this! I found out that there was something wrong with your textbook! That flawed book... I hate that book. This is why they should let me pick textbooks." She said, her eyes narrowed. "Okay! We're going to completely replace chapter fifteen." Spinning around, her hair hit the lamp but didn't knock it over. She started to write notes on the board, dictating everything wrong with the chapter in the book. Apparently it incorrectly represented the dissection of a pig heart. Apparently the verticals and chambers weren't drawn to scale, which automatically made them wrong.
Once she finished, she turned to her class. "Alright!" She yelled at them, looking around at the class. "Does anyone have any questions about the paper due tomorrow before the camping trip!?"

Ymir just smiled at her and took her smaller hand into hers. A few seats behind her, Jean just muttered something about PDA but she knew it was because he was a lonely ass loser.
His raven haired classmate turned her head towards him, a questioning look plaguing her face. While she was a little curious about what he was planning, she figured it was probably best not to ask. He seemed pretty confident in himself - which normally wasn't a good sign. But what could harm could he do in a forest? Well...probably a lot, actually, now that she thought about it. More than a few different scenarios passed through her mind. Fire, explosions, bears, Eren getting himself and/or other people critically injured, etc. Maybe she shoud ask him. But at the same time, Reiner was usually a good guy who kind of looked out for everyone, so he wouldn't let Eren do anything too extreme. But still...Okay she was going to ask. "Eren-" she started up but was silenced by his hand reaching up to brush her bangs away. She let her eyes drift away from him, pulling her scarf up a bit higher to cover the pink tinge that had flooded into her cheeks.
His words caused some relief to wash over her. "Just don't get hurt okay? I really don't want another trip to the ER so soon after the last," she said, her eyes dropping to his the spot on his arm where a metal pipe had been driven in through it from that time he'd tried riding Jean's motorcycle and gotten into an accident. Needless to say, Jean was still mad about that.
When Hanji entered the room, everyone looked up, cutting off their chatter. Hanji Zoe's class was usually much more entertaining than their history teacher's. It might have been because she was also slightly insane, but either way.
Connie raised his hand. "Yeah, the whole thing?"
