Chapter 2: Meeting

You walked out and saw Armin already setting up his towel. The majority of the other people on the trip had set up umbrellas and all of their stuff in one big clump, but you and Armin wanted to distance yourselves from them a little bit, so you sat your towels a little ways away from everyone else in the group.

"Look at all of them flailing in the water. It's kinda amusing." you said as you and Armin started laughing. Neither of you were mean kids and you definitely didn't have mean intentions, but the way the others acted was a little bit funny.

You noticed a group of boys about your age playing football a little ways down the beach from you, but didn't think much of it.

Before you laid out in the sun, you ate a snack that Armin had brought out for the two of you. You both talked for a while as you ate and enjoyed yourselves, but then you felt something hit you in the side.

"Ouch what the hell?" You looked over and saw a football sitting beside you, along with the brown-haired boy that you noticed earlier coming over to you. He was coming over to you so that he could get his ball back. You picked it up and started walking towards him with it.

"Ahhh my bad. You okay?" The boy said as you handed him the ball. Half of his brown hair was pulled into a low, messy bun and he had a really toned body. He was wearing black shorts without a shirt on. You could tell that he had been in the sun a lot because his face was lightly sun kissed.

"I'm fine. It's all good."

"That's a relief. Anyways, I'm Eren. Your name?" he asked as he rested one arm on the top of his head and his other hand holding the football by his side.

"I'm y/n. I'm here on a school trip this week." you said as you turned around to look back at your classmates who were mindlessly flailing in the water.

"Is this their first time in water or something?" Eren said as he brought the back of his wrist down and covered his mouth and laughed a little.

"Looks like it." you said as you started laughing with him.

"Is that your boyfriend you were laying with?" Eren asked as he peered around you to look at Armin.

"Oh Armin? No he's not my boyfriend. He's just my best friend. I don't have a boyfriend."

"Oh gotcha. Anyways, what school do you go to?" he asked as his eyes quickly looked down at your body, which made your stomach feel a little bit giddy, which was unlike you because you weren't the type to really care about boys.

"Ohh um it's a tiny school in the middle of nowhere. It's about 2 hours away from here. You wouldn't know what school it is. Nobody ever does. My parents force me to go there because it's close to my house." You said as you felt a little embarrassed that you went to such a small, sheltered school.

"Oh I see. I go to a school about 20 minutes from here and I live about a half hour from this town, but my friend's dad owns a house right here on the beach so I stay here a lot. Me and my friends will just stay at the house whenever we feel like it because nobody actually lives in it. It's pretty convenient actually."

"Damn I wish that I could just leave and stay at an unattended house whenever I felt like it." you said as you jokingly rolled your eyes and smiled. "Anyways, I need to go back to my group before I get in trouble."

"Aha ok then. See you around." Eren said as he winked and waved at you as you started going back to your towel beside Armin.

He seemed pretty nice and it felt good to talk to someone new, even though you weren't really the social type.

"What was that about?" Armin asked as he sat up and looked at you.

"I just went to hand him his ball but he turned out to be pretty chatty." you said as you giggled a little and laid down on your towel.

"Looks like we've got a flirt on our hands. Do I have to keep an eye on you, y/n?" the female teacher said as she walked over to where you and Armin were.

"We were just introducing ourselves. No need to worry." you said as you smiled up at the teacher.

How annoying.
