Bad For You (Modern Highschool Ymir x Reader

(Part 5)

     You began to eat your sandwich as you looked around, observing your peers. You saw Reiner sit with a tall boy with dark hair and a short blonde girl who had a glare that could cut anyone in half. A tall boy named Jean slaps at the hand of a girl who is sitting with him as she tries to steal some of his food. A boy with a shaved head who is also sitting with them laughs. 

     You look over and see Ymir finishing the last bit of her sandwich. You felt happy knowing you were able to help her. "What's your number?", she says as she rubs her hands together, making sure there's no crumbs on them. The sudden question caught you off guard. You give her your phone number and watch as she types it into her phone. "What'd you say your name was again?", she looks up from her phone with a smile on her face. "I'm just kiddin'", she laughs and puts your name down in her contacts. "Maybe we can hangout some time. Watch movies or read books or whatever it is that you like to do." You didn't show it, but on the inside you were jumping with joy.

     "Here I have some cookies. I made them myself.", you say as you pull some homemade cookies out of your lunch box and hand her one. There was still a few more hours of school left and you didn't want her energy to stem from only a cigarette and half of a sandwich. She takes one and begins to eat it. She gives a smile of approval. "Not too shabby." Historia, Armin, Mikasa, and Erin return back to the lunch table. You're the main focus for all of them as they all ask you questions about things like your hobbies, your opinions on your classes, and other ice-breaker like topics. They were all very nice and it helped you open up.

     A bell rings, signaling the end of lunch. You clean up and begin to walk to your next class. It was a science class. Your teacher was a fun lady with glasses. Her name was Mrs. Zoe and everyone seemed to love her. "Ah hello there (Y/N)! Welcome! I hope your first day has been treating you well! There is an open seat over there beside Mr. Braun you can take." she says as she points over to the boy who's basketball had hit you in the head only about an hour ago. You anxiously sit beside him, intimidated by his large build and slightly furrowed eyebrows.

     "Sorry about the basketball.", he says. He has a slight smile on your face and you struggle to understand if it's in a mean nature or not. "It's fine. Sorry about Ymir." You don't know why you're apologizing for her, but it felt like it was needed. "Nah it's okay. She always protective over her ladies." His word choices were weird. What could he mean by 'her ladies'? Is that what he refers to her friends as? You try to not think too hard on it as Mrs. Zoe begins to teach.

     Her loud and bouncy personality made the class fun. Everyone was smiling while also learning which is a very rare sight in the public school system. While everyone was having a good time, your attention to the lesson was fading. "Alright everyone! I'll be handing out a worksheet and I want you to work with the person next to you." Once you and Reiner get worksheets, you turn to face each other to begin working. "So for number one I think the answ-" "What did you mean by 'her ladies'?", you interrupt him. He looks up from his paper, confused. "Sorry." you immediately apologize for interrupting him. 

     "What?", he says with a genuinely confused tone. "You said something about...Ymir and being protective over her 'ladies'", you say quietly, hoping no one was listening. "She always befriends these quiet, sweet, and overall soft girls and get's super protective over them. She was the same way with Historia and still is from time to time. I have this hunch that she's not that into guys." he says. Not that into guys? So he's  saying she's a lesbian? "Boy she's gonna kill me if she knows I said anything like that to you. Think you can keep quiet about it?", he asks. "Yeah... let's just do our work.", you quickly change the subject.

     You confidently turned in your work near the end of class. While he was intimidating, Reiner actually didn't seem that bad. He spent the last couple minutes of the period asking about your life before you moved and overall getting to know you. The bell rang while you were in the middle of talking, so you continued your conversation while walking out the door and into the hallway. "What's happening over here? Is he bothering you?", Ymir appears suddenly beside you. She puts her arm behind your back and places her hand on your shoulder. You blush at her protective grip. "What did I tell you?", Reiner says to you as he walks away with a smile. It seems he was right when he said that'd she wouldn't be happy about him talking to you. "What did he say? Was he talking shit?", she says with an angry tone. You look over to her and realize how close her face is to yours. You never noticed until now that her cheeks and nose were speckled with freckles. 

     Your face feels warm as you suddenly feel like you've lost the ability to speak. "Her ladies" "Not that into guys" these words raced through your head. "No uh h-he was just t-talking about stuff w-while we were working.", you stutter. "If he starts acting weird, you come and tell me. Got it?", she says as she stops you in your place. Both hands were on your shoulders now as she held you in place and looked you in her eyes. Her gaze was sharp and it sent chills down your spine and made every hair on your body stand. "Got it.", you say as confidently as possible. "Good girl.", she smiles and ruffles your hair. Your stomach begins to feel strange and your heart begins to flutter. With shaky legs, you walk to your next class.
