ASSIMILATE

You immediately pulled out your wallet after staring at him in disgust with his lack of self-control. You grabbed a five-dollar bill and three singular ones, you shoved them in front of him and he wouldn't take it.

"Dude....what the fuck? You took that way too far..." Mikasa muttered as she looked at Eren in complete shock.

You shoved it onto his chest as you huffed in annoyance while fighting the urge not to cry from frustration.

"What-"

"You've given me 8 dollars. I don't want any chance for attachments with someone like you," you let go of the money and it fell onto the floor as you quickly left and turned out of the cafe once you felt the stares of people since Eren raised his voice.

You rushed out of the cafe and turned a corner to take you to your car. You didn't want to leave Mikasa so suddenly but you couldn't deal with how rude Eren had been to you. Rude to you for no reason at that, it was exhausting being around someone who constantly picked at your flaws or your past and brought it up all the time. The way he brought up Jean constantly, you couldnt take it anymore.

You were walking on the sidewalk, around brick buildings from the campus and you finally took the time to look up. Jean.

Jean was sitting on the staircase with Ashley as they were sharing a sandwich, both of them holding one half and talking and laughing. This was the worst.

You had to walk that way so you turned to go the other way and kept walking the other direction again, you made a turn down the corner and bumped right into someone since you were looking down at the ground.

"Shit. Sor- oh..." you mumbled as you leaned down and picked up the keys and you saw Eren standing in front of you.

"That was fucked up of me to say." He blurted as you stood up completely.

"Please just move," you insisted, looking behind him to avoid eye contact.

"I'm so-"

"No. I don't accept so move," you replied while cutting him off.

"What can I do to-"

You heard a loud beeping noise coming from Eren. You couldn't tell where on him it was coming from but you saw the shock on his face when the beeping loudened. He instantly walked around you with his hands in the pocket of his sweatshirt and quickly walked the other way.

You didn't question it but just as you were about to walk forward again, you felt your arm being grabbed.

"I...will come by later..." he muttered as he stared at you then quickly walked away again and you saw him pull out a pop tart from his pocket as he rushed away in a hurry.

He acted weirder than normal, he seemed a little disoriented yet you couldn't understand why. Nothing happened that would separate his usual rude behavior, you ignored it anyway and came to the conclusion on what to do.

Study.

That was your best bet, you would study for a sociology class that you had that Eren wasn't a part of so he couldn't bother you about it. You rushed to the library because you knew studying would help you ease your mind in the emotional aspect, you also had a presentation sometime this week in multiple classes so it was perfect timing.

You headed straight there and plopped down at a wooden table with books about the wonders of sociology. Then you sat there for who knows long and read and read while taking notes. You text Mikasa before studying to let her know that you were okay.

You sat there and drained your eyes and your brain until it was pitch black outside. You continued even after you noticed that it was clearing out and only stopped when workers put up chairs. The moment you stopped and put your book back, you found yourself holding onto the bookshelf since you were feeling a bit dizzy all of a sudden.
