Stand by me [Eren x Reader Modern AU][ON HOLD]

Chapter 1: You.

You were popular in school. You knew that. But you weren't obnoxious, or rude as everyone thinks. Infact, your group isn't rude at all. You were considered popular because you had a large group of friends...Maybe sometimes you'd get into alot of drama...Maybe alot. But that never stopped you from still being friends. Yes, you would be involved with drama that would be spread around the school but you were still a normal person to yourself. But either way, you never gotten bad marks like those usually "popular" teens do. Nor do you get detention.

"HEY, (Y/N)!!" Sasha calls grabbing you by the shoulder. You exhaled your breath and took a large sigh as your eyes met your friend, Sasha who was also apart of the "popular" group. "Oh my gosh, guess what?!" She asks happily. "What?" You ask with a grin on your face. "My mom is in for the party, she told me that her or my dad wont be home so i can have a party!" Sasha smiles. "Sure, I'll be there." You reply. You really didn't need to ask since this was a close friend of yours. "YES!!" Sasha squels. "I was hoping! Can you sleepover? My mom or dad aren't going to be home for the day...so..." Sasha asks. "Sure. I guess." You reply. "Yessss! This excitement is making me damned hungry! Alright, well (Y/N) I'm going to be right back, bare with me." Sasha says walking to the vending machine.

You sighed at the happy teen girl. You turn your eyes to meet with a set of turqoise eyes. You liked it, but at the same time you didn't. Who likes when people stare at them? It's creepy. But it really depends with who. You hate when people stare at you because it makes you feel insecure and annoyed. Why do you have to stare at me? Please mind your own business. But one thing that bugged you the most was meeting eyes with someone. It was hurrendous to think about.

But that boy was good looking. You knew it. But he was by himself playing with his phone. He looked lonely. Of course he stopped staring at you immediatley but that never stopped you from continuing to stare. Wait! Why am I staring! I'm probably making him feel uncomfortable. I'm doing something I hate! You thought. Although, you felt bad for the guy. I mean, look, he was by himself while everyone had their group of friends.

You got up to go sit with him but someone grabbed your wrist before you got to get up properly. "Where are you going?" It was Armin. Your close friend. Again, to be a smart but popular kid. "Oh--" You say before getting cut off. "(Y/N)...You were staring at Eren. So I am assuming you were about to sit with him.." Armin cuts you off before you can say anything. You've always assumed Armin was best friends with that kid since they're constantly together.

"Actually...Yeah, aren't you his bestfriend...go sit with him or tell him to sit with us!" You say wondering why he never had sat with this Eren.

"I try...he usually wants to be alone...For personal reasons." Armin tells you back. Eren takes a look at you and Armin as you guys talk.

"Not on my watch" You say about to walk off but your wrist gets pulled on by Armin.

"Why are you doing that?--" You ask. "(Y/N)...I'll tell you why he doesn't sit with us...Just don't go rushing to him acting like you can demand him to come here." Armin says. You sit back down slowly and sigh waiting for Armins story to start. "Well...You see...Eren used to hang out with us but...he started dating this girl named Paula who was a mean girl...she would call us names and stuff...then he started getting rude acting because he was popular he can call us names and things along with his girlfriend. It hurt us..so we stopped talking to him and people started being rude to him and calling him names, don't get me wrong, I still stood by his side, but soon he became lonely, started missing school , and honestly...just more anti-social...nobody wanted to hang out with him or anything." Armin explains.

"Oh, damn..." You mumble to yourself. You felt bad. I know he changed. I know he wants the same friends. "When did this happen?" You ask. "Before you even hung out with us..." Armin replies. So this was about 2-3 years ago? You think to yourself. You're in the starting of grade 10..So this was in..middle school? They neglected him for more than a year...or so. That's how rude he was? They had to neglect him for more than a year? Well he must've changed alot so why haven't they given him a chance? Maybe I should bring him back into the group... You think again.

"Armin, are you talking about him again?" You hear a voice as someone stood before you.
