2. first encounter

After listening to what Ymir had to say, you send them both a wave and a smile before making your way towards Eren. She seemed very serious about what she told you but you decide to shake it off because why would you purchase anything but weed from Eren?

You nervously approach the picnic table where Eren was seated. God he looks even better up close. You usually weren't nervous when approaching new people but not everyone looked like him. He notices your presence and looks up from his phone, giving you a blank stare and not even bothering to take at least one of his earphones out. His stare was intimidating; it sent chills down your spine.

"Can I ask you something?" You ask him with a faint smile on your face, trying to be friendly. He sends you a quick nod and looks back down at his phone. Damn this guy doesn't seem very friendly. He barely even acknowledged my presence.

"Could I uh.. Buy some weed from you?" You raise your voice a bit, hoping he'd hear you through his headphones.

Eren's eyes shoot wide open and he suddenly grabs your wrist. He then yanks you down to sit beside him, turning his whole body towards you with an annoyed look on his face. "Lower your voice, dumbass! I don't want the whole campus to know what I do." He harshly whispers.

"I figured most of the students already know. You're like the plug for a shit ton of people right?" You furrow your eyebrows in confusion.

"Damn, you really are dumb." He scoffs in your face. "Did you forget that students aren't the only people roaming around campus?" He explains while motioning his hand towards teachers and staff walking past.

Your face turns bright red as you realize how stupid the question actually was. So much for first impressions. "Well you were the one that was too rude to take your headphones while someone was talking to you! I had to speak louder!" You defend, trying to save yourself from the embarrassment.

Eren smirks and pulls the right earphone out of his ear and gently presses it into yours. The action makes you realize that he had turned down his volume to what sounded like the lowest setting while you were speaking to him. "You really think I'm rude enough to not down my music while someone is talking to me, sweetheart?"

The embarrassment from before fills back into you as that sentence leaves his mouth but you decide to ignore it and give him the same energy. "Well yeah honestly. You look like the kind of asshole that would do something like that."

You can tell by his facial expression that he was not expecting you to say that and feel a sense of satisfaction. Eren then clicks his tongue and stands up from the table, gathering all his belongings. "You know you shouldn't call people names when you want something from them." He scolds and turns his back towards you.

"Wait! I'm sorry, okay?" You give in and shoot up from beside him, wanting to roll your eyes at the fact he shut down the energy you returned, real quick.

Eren turns back towards you with a smirk on his face and holds his hand flat out in front of you. "Give me your phone." He demands. His demand catches you off guard so you hesitantly reach into your pocket and hand it over to him. He easily gains access since your phone doesn't have a password.

"No passcode huh? Someone is pretty trusting." He says, his eyes glancing up at you through the loose strands of hair that were hanging down in his face. He then looks back down and proceeds to put his number in your contacts.

"Well yeah.. I don't have anything to hide. I'm in a relationship. I mean was." You remember you just got broken up with like two hours prior and awkwardly correct yourself. Surprisingly this is the first time you thought about Jean during this whole interaction with Eren. It felt nice not to think about him. "But he-" The feeling of your phone being slapped back into your hand interrupts you.
