The next week was great, oe of the best in Eren's life to be honest, he and Annie were always talking and hanging out after school, they've never been on an official date but the whole school knew they were a thing, and Eren was loving it. It all felt like a dream, but this was real, but something had to screw up his good week. Some idiot rear ended his car a few nights after he asked Annie to homecoming, so it was in the shop, Eren had a rising suspicion it was Reiner. So that meant that Eren was hitching a ride with Armin and Krista every morning. Eren didn't think Armin cared though, not only was he his next door neighbor, but he had been giving Krista a ride to school ever since he got his license and car.
But it also meant that Eren was on Armin's schedule, so he quickly jumped out of bed and ran to his closet. Hr grabbed a long sleeve dark green shirt with jeans and his nike tennis shoes. He put all of it quickly and ran to his bathroom which was down the hall. He then saw Mikasa's room was open, and saw her slowly getting out of bed, like nothing was wrong, curse her and how she gets to get to school at 9:00. But he ignores her and rushes to the bathroom, then he piles toothpaste on his toothbrush and quickly brushed his teeth. But of course he heard a car honk its horn outside. Eren spit out the toothpaste and quickly put on some deodorant. He then rushed downstairs. "Bye mom, love you, see you after school." Eren said as he grabbed his bag and rushed out the door. And then he saw Armin sitting in his car, just reading a book. His car was a bright blue ford focus RS, it suited him actually, but wasn't anything special. He then ran up to the side of the car. "Sorry that took a while Armin, I literally just woke up." Eren told him leaning over on his knees. Armin just laughed a bit. "Dude, you're good, just hop in the back." Armin said unlocking the car. Eren looked at him for a second. "I just rushed my ass out of bed to fit your schedule, and you're going to tell me to get in the back, in your little smurf car?" Eren asked him. "Yep." Armin said with a smile. You know what, fine, why the heck not." Eren told himself. He opened the door or the back seat and threw his bag in, then he hoped in. but to say the least, there was practically no room, after Eren put his bag in he buckled up and had to stretch his legs out across the two seats. "So why did you put me in the back seat?" Eren asked, trying to get comfortable. "Oh, Krista always sits in the front, sorry man." Armins says as he starts to drive. Eren holds his arms together. "Fair enough." Eren muttered under his breath.
Then they drive over to krista's house, it wasn't far, it was just at the beginning of their neighborhood, just a ten minute drive. They then pull in front of her house, she was waiting on her front porch. She was sitting on the steps of her front porch just looking out, but when Armin pulled up she stood up with a big smile, she waved and picked up her stuff. "That's what we call being on time, you should take notes." Armin said laughing. "Shut up." Eren said frowning. Krista then came to the passengers side of the car. She opened the door and smiles. "Good morning Armin, good to see you." Krisa says as she throws her bag in thee back seat. It landed right on Eren's stomach. "OOH!" Ere yelled. Krista poked her head in the back seat. "Oh my god, I forgot about you riding with us, sorry." Krista says. "Yep, good to see you to Krista." Eren says holding back a bad word. She then hops in and shuts the door.
Then it was just a thirty minute ride to school, it was mostly Armin and Krista talking to each other, Eren was just sitting quietly in the back seat. Then Armin pulled into the school and got in his parking spot, practically right next to the school. "Are we finally here." Eren said from the back seats. 'Yeah man, and you got thirty minutes until class starts." Armin told him. Before Eren could say anything Krista interrupted him. "Hey Eren, isn't that your girlfriend over there." Krista said giggling. Eren looked up and saw ANnie sitting on the steps of the school, just reading a book. "Ug, I need to go, thanks for the ride Armin, see you after school." Eren said as he got his bag and was getting out of the car. Then he got out of the car and ran towards Annie. Armin and Krista looked each other and just started to laugh. "They are so cute, I'm happy to see them together." Krista said. Her laugh was so cute, Armin loved it, even though she hated it. "So, what do you want to do for thirty minutes?" Krista asked Armin. She was actually facing towards him while sitting on her knees. "I don't know, we could just talk, I like when we have good talks." Armin said. Krista smiled with her eyes closed, she looked cute when she did it. "Yeah, sounds good, so what do you want to talk about?" Krista asked him. "Well, you excited about any new movies?' Armin asked her. Then they just sat there and talked about movies they want to see, Armin liked it, they talked about it for twenty five minutes long, but it never got boring. "Alright, i think should head inside now." Krista said. Armin checked the time and realized that class started in five minutes. "Yeah, I think you're right." Armins said as he got out of his car. He opened up the back and got Krista's bag, then he closed everything and locked his car. He then looked at Krista,who was giving him that cute smile that he loved, and then he thought back to what Eren told him last week.
Armin was just sitting in his room, reading a book, nothing else, but he heard somebody scream from outside. He dogeared his place and put down the book. He was about to look out the window but was scared to death when Eren popped out of nowhere, Armin fell right on his butt. Eren then started knocking on his window like a madman. Armin slowly got up and walked to his window, then he pulled it open. "Before Armin could say anything Eren aid something. "Can I come in, I have something important to tell you." Eren said with a smile. Armi just nodded his head and Eren climbed in, he got in and rolled onto the floor of Armin room. "WHy did you just out out of nowhere, what's the big idea?!" Armin asked surprised. Erne then stood up and took a big breath. "I asked ANnie to homecoming, then she said yes, and she kissed me!" Eren said just stood there in disbelief. "I don't believe a single word of that Eren." Armin tells him. Then Eren didn't look nearly as excited as he did before. "I swear, call mikasa right now, she'll tell you it's true. Armin looked at him for a minute, then he pulled out his phone and down the home button. "Call Mikasa." Armin said to his phone. "Calling Mi casa." The phone replied. It always thought she was mexican, it was funny actually. But then the phone started ringing and Armin held it to his ears. Then Mikasa answered. "What do you need Armin?" Mikasa asks him. "Is it true, are Eren and Annie a thing now?" Armin asks her. "Yes, now let me sleep." Mikasa says as he hangs up. Armin puts the phone down, he completely silent. Eren is still smiling like a maniac. 'Holy crap, you're not kidding." Armin says in disbelief. "I know right, I was just as surprised when she said yes." Eren says. "SO you what, just asked her, and that was that?" Armin asked. "Yeah, I'm no longer single!" Eren yelled. "Hey hey, quiet down, my grandpa is sleeping." Armin said. "Not anymore I'm not!" Armin's grandpa shouted from the other room. Eren's face went white. "Sorry Mr. Arlert! Eren said out loud. There was no response. Armin just ignored it. "So she's your girlfriend now, that's great, to be honest you're both perfect for eachother." Armin said. Eren just smiled, being so full of himself. "Thanks man, so you gonna ask Krista to Homecoming?" Eren asked him. Armin was caught off guard by that question. "I don't know, probably not thought, she would say no and Reer would get pissed at me." Armin said. Eren rolled his eyes. "Come on man, trust me, just go for it, it'll be worth it, but anyways, I need to go, so good luck with yu and Krista, I'm out." Eren said as he started to walk towards the window. Armin just waved goodbye, and watched him jump out the window and run back to his house. He then closed his window and looked outside. "Just go for it." Armin told himself.
Armin handed his stuff to Krista and they started walking towards the school. "So, ugh, who are you going to homecoming with?" Armin asked her, he was so nervous. "Well that was unexpected, but no one yet." Krista said with a smile. Thank god, reiner hasn't tried to convince her to go with him yet. Armin thought to himself. "Oh, well that's good to know, I was just wondering, you know mw." Armin says nervously. Krita then stopped walking. Armin stopped with her. He was about to ask if she was okay, but she said something first. "You could ask me." Krista says flatly. Now Armin was confused. "Me, ask you, I don't know, would you even say yes?" Armin asks quickly. "Yes I would, and I'm going with you." Krista says as she wraps her arms around Armin's waist, she squeezed him tight. "Really, you mean?" Armin asked excitedly. Krista the let go and looked up at him. "Of course stupid, I'd rather go with you than anyone else, but I need to get to class, see you at lunch." Krista says as she runs off. Armin just stood there for a minute, not sure about what just happened. Then he remembered he needed to get to class. He then ran to his history class.
He then went through his next three classes pretty easily, he already knew all the materials, but the only thing he could think about was Krista. But then he was sitting in third period, waiting for lunch, not only was he hungry, but he wanted to see Krista again. Then the bell rang, and he went out of class straight to the cafeteria. He was about to enter it but he felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned around and looked down to see Krista. "Hey you, good to see you." Krista said. Armin just looked at her, she really liked him, this is great. "Hey, I was just waiting for you." Armins aid. Krista just laughed a bit. "You're sweet, then let's go in." Krista said. She then put arm in Armin's. Armin was uncomfortable at first but then he liked it, and he walked into the cafeteria. Then he felt confident walking in there, he wasn't afraid of what Reiner would do to him. Reiner always thought Krista was his girl, but today was different, today, Krsta was his girl, and he won't be scared by Reiner. Right when they walked into the big room, people started pointing and talking, Armin felt like a king. Then they walked over to their table. Normally Eren, Annie, Jean, Mikasa, Connie, and Sasha sat there, Krista sometimes did, but Reiner usually followed her. But they walked right up to their table and took a seat. "Did he finally ask you?" Annie immediately said when they sat down. Krista giggled, and then nodded. Armi just smiled. He then felt like someone was watching him. He turned his head and saw Reiner giving him an evil look. Armin then turned back, a little scared. "Eh, don't worry about him, what's he gonna do?" Jean asked Armin. Armin just nodded, but then the all started eating.
After a while, Connie stood up. "I would like to make an announcement everyone." Connie said out loud. Everyone at the table looked up at him. "Oh god, spare us from you're awful jokes." Eren said sarcastically. Connie chuckled under his breath a bit. "You're funny, but no, I have something else." Connie said. A few other tables around them were looking at Connie too. He then faced Sasha and got on one knee. "What are you doing doofus?" Sasha asked him. He then pulled out a ring pop. "Oh dear lord." Krista muttered. A few people around started to laugh. "Will you, Sasha Brous, be my date for homecoming?" Connie asked her loudly. Sasha put her hands to her mouth. The she looked excited. "Of course I'll go with you!" Sasha screamed. Connie then stood up and gave her a hug. People started to clap, it was a happy sight. "I'm happy for you two, that's so cute." Krista said. Then the bell rang and people started leaving their seats. "Just one more." Eren said as he was getting stuff. "Hey, I'm going to class, see you after school." Krista said. "Okay, Bye Krista." Armin said. Then she pulled Armin down and kissed him on the cheek. Then she went off. Armin just sat there, rubbing cheek slowly. Eren then clapped his hands on Armin's shoulder. 'I told you man, congratulations." Eren said to him. Armin just nodded his slowly. Then Eren and Annie walked out of the cafeteria. Armin looked back, but all he saw was Reiner sitting down staring at him, with his fist clenched. A chill went down Arin's spine, but he then left the lunch room.
He made it to class on time, not suprining, but that look Reiner gave him, it stuck with him, it scared him a little, but he needed to be strong, especially now that he's going to homecoming with Krista. But class went by pretty quickly actually, then he packed his things and exited the classroom. He then felt something his pocket vibrate. He pulled his phone out saw Eren's face zombie makeup and his tongue sticking out, Eren's profile picture from Halloween. Armin swiped and held the phone to his ear. "What's up eren?" Armin asked him. "Hey man, I was just wondering if you could Annie a ride to my house too, we were planning to do homework together." Eren told him. Armin laughed a little bit. "Yeah sure, you just want to do homework, but sure, I'll be waiting by my car, if you see Krista though, tell her I'm waiting." Armin told him."Will do dude, see you soon." Eren says as he hangs up the phone. Armin then headed outside to the parking lot. He saw his blue car and pulled out his keys and unlocked his car. He opened the back and threw his stuff in, but he saw something in the reflection of his car. It looked like someone was approaching him. Armi turned around to see Reiner walking towards him, he looked like a stereotypical jock as he was walking, broad shoulders and tall, he was also wearing his lettermans jacket. But his face looked pissed off, and his fists were clenched. "Umm, hey Reiner, something the matter?" Armin asks. Reiner stops, and has an unexcited laugh. "Is something wrong, of course something is wrong, you stole my girl Armin, and now you have to pay. Reiner said as he stepped forward, he was probably expecting Armin to back, but instead Armin stood his ground, that clearly made Reiner mad. "Now you listen to me, you go up to her and say nevermind, you're not going to homecoming with you, you hear me!" Reiner yelled at him, he then pushed Armin a little bit. At first Armin was leaning against his car, but he quickly got and was in Reiner's face. "Now YOU listen to me, I asked her, and she said yes, so grow a pair and know when you're defeated!" Armins yelled at him, every time Armin raised his voice he pointed a finger at reiner. Reiner clenched his fists hard. Armin then turned around, but Reiner grabbed his shoulder and twisted him around, then he delivered a punch right to Armin's gut. Armin went to the ground, he landed right on his knees holding his stomach, his ribs felt like they were burning. "Why, why did you do that?!" Armin asked. Reiner just looked down on him, smiling. "That way for stealing my girl!" Reiner yelled at him. He then picked up Armin by his shirt, and then he punched him right in his chest, where his sternum was. "GAGH!" Armin screamed in pain, some blood came out of his mouth when he screamed. The Reiner lifted him in the air by his shirt, not even Armin's toes were on the ground. Reiner then punched Armin as hard as he could in the face, and let him hit the floor. "And that's for everything else you bastard." Reiner told him with a furious tone.
