K so I woke up this morning and got in the mood to write more :D

Chapter 4: Acceptance

As the final bell rang, Annie made her way out of the school. Her first day was...productive. She made friendsor something. She sighed and made her way out of the gate. She had her headphones in to block out everybody around her. Taking the familiar road home. The wet leave's made squishy noises on the way home, she could hear it everytime a song was to change. It was suprisingly sunny right now with the odd cloud here and there even though it rained earlier.

Hearing the beep of a horn from a car, Annie turned her head in wonder to see who it was beeping and to whom to were beeping to. She litterally growled and gritted her teeth together, turning back around and picking up the speed. Another car horn. The car slowed beside her and the shithead poked his head out.

"Hey, Fucknugget! Want a lift?" He asked teasingly. She was NOT getting into that smelly car with Reiners smelly friends. She just kept walking whilst the car slowly crawled beside her. Eventually they got the hit and sped off causing a puddle of water to spray everywhere and wet her jeans.

Cursing loudly at them and giving the bird to the speeding car, Annie continued her way home in silence. It was a nice walk but now she was wet and annoyed.

Reaching home, she unlocked the door and entered the house. Placing her keys and coat on the hanger beside the door. Annie made her way up the spiral staircase and into her room. Removing her wet jeans and putting on a black trackpants, she left her room and threw the jeans into the laundry basket in the hall and contiued her way to the bathroom to wash up.

After cleaning her face she made her way to her room to start the homework assigned to her. It was only a small amount but Annie still dispised it.

Taking the note from her pocket, she sighed. Grabbing her phone from the desk and sitting on the bed Annie popped in the numbers and texted the blue eyed blondy.

Hey She typed in and fell back on her bed. She started up at the white ceiling waiting. A loud ding and a buzzing sound soon followed.

Hi there? Who's this? She sighed and typed back.

Its Annie, Annie Leonhardt.

Oh! Sorry I didn't recognise the number! Of course he shouldn't know, unless Reiner would give that away too...

You don't even have my number so how would you know.

I suppose you're right. So WUA? Annie didn't understand Text-talk much and felt stupid asking what it meant, but he was her FRIEND?

Wua? What does that mean?

Oh it means "What you at" She nearly felt like punching herself, it was an easy thing she would've figured out eventually...

Oh um...I'm texting you? How about you?

Oh, well I'm doing homework. And texting. He replied

Annie frowned. This guy, she had noticed, was a goody two-shoes. He always had his work done before it was even due. Annie looked over to her desk and decided she should start her work too.

I suppose I should start my work too. She replied dumbly and trudged over to her desk switching on her laptop and putting down her phone by its side. She reached for her bag which was beside the desk and removed the books and copies she needed for work.

Oh okay! You do that. Btw do you want to go to lunch tomorrow?

Annie then had a brainfart. They abandoned her today. She picked up and angerly typed back a response, she was annoyed now.

Well, you did all abandon me today so no. I went to the front gate and waited but you either left or never showed. Or it was some kinda sick joke. So no.

She put her phone down and ignored the replies that came following after and did her homework. After about ten replies her phone stopped vibrating. She sighed and picked it up to see the texts.

I'm sorry! I didn't mean it I thought you weren't going to come. But I mean it this time.

Annie?

Annie r u there?

Annie I'm sorry!

R u there?

She stopped reading the remaing texts and typed back in a reply. She felt a little weak doing this but did it. She liked this buy, he was genuine.

Fine. I'll come.

GREAT! I'm glad you can! He answered. And she smiled but quickly deflected the smile and rubbed her left arm again, it was itchy and annoying her now but she ignored it and contiued her work.

The next day she waited outside at the front gate for the group. It was finally lunch time and the subjects today were the same as yesterday. She took her phone out of her pocket and texted Armin to see where he was.

Where r u and the shitheads?

She texted him enough last night to be comfertable talking to him and using this "text-talk" stuff. "I'm here with the shitheads." He voiced loudly as he jogged to the girl with a goofy smile planted on his face. She didn't smile but she felt a fuzzy feeling on the inside, she was confused by it but decided to ignore it and walked by his sides to the other two.

"Hey Annie! Glad to see you came, Armin wouldn't stop talking about you!" Eren teased giving Armin a punch into the arm, He was blushing like crazy now for some odd reason and scratching the back of his head. She gave him a confused look. "Eh well yeah, so um we're going to Topaz for lunch. Its a garage down the road" He said as the four left the school grounds.

Lunch was more fun that she had expected, she smiled and laughed along with the three, even Mikasa showed emotion. Yesterday Eren and Mikasa didn't want anything to do with her, and now they accepted her. They even seemed to rename their group of friends to the "Four Muskateers"

She felt warm inside, they had bought energy drinks and sweets and were hyped up and Annie simply could not stop smiling. It was the most fun she'd had since the accident.

"Annie that ring there is really cool!" Armin pointed out once the group had calmed down from singing random songs from Eren's playlist.

"Oh um, thanks?" She smiled, the blonde could feel warmth in her cheeks. That was weird. But she continued to speak. "I got it from my mother" She said amiring the ring again, she hadn't taken it off since yesterday.

"I think it suits you. Oh um, by the way, me and those things there are going to town saturday, wanna come?" He asked beaming with hope, his deep ocean blue eyes were filled with hope and friendliness. Annie never experianced such friendliness since the accident.

"Um...sure why not." She answered giving him a smile which made him more confident.

For the next few days she went with them to lunch and grew closer to all three of them, even Mikasa grew to like Annie. Wendy and Jasper were thrilled to hear she had new friends and even supported the idea that they could come over for a night or two in the future, Annie liked the idea. She's finally accepted these people, there was a chance her old life would go...maybe.

She rubbed her left arm again and winced. No, it would always be there in some way, but she must hide it in order to be able to live happy now.

WOO! Now I know they all seem pretty OOC, but why not? Anywho, its a double update. Enjoy it!
