"Are you ready yet Eren? Everyone is ready but you!" Mikasa yelled from the kitchen where our group of friends stood waiting.
"Yeah yeah I'm coming!" I yelled back running down the stairs while straightening the collar of my shirt. Standing next to Mikasa was our lifelong friend Armin, the shyest person I have ever met, the loud mouth Jean, who I hated so much but Mikasa always invited him, Jean's best friend Marco, who was a pretty chill guy, and Annie, who was better at everything than everyone.
"Where's Reiner and Bertholdt?" I asked Mikasa who shrugged at me.
"Maybe they are going to meet us there," Armin said in an inquisitive tone. Again Mikasa shrugged and Jean, being impatient as always, started shoving us out the door. "Jean, you don't have to shove, we're going" Armin said. Jean naturally didn't listen and continued shoving.
We all piled into Mikasa's car and she started driving. Mikasa doesn't let anyone talk while she is driving, so the whole ride to the club was completely silent, we were all scared of getting on Mikasa's bad side. Once we finally arrived, it seemed to take forever in the silence, it took another 20 minutes in the line to get to the front door of the club.
"How is this for a birthday Armin? Standing in a line for 20 minutes" I said sarcastically while rolling my eyes. "It's fine Eren, we will be inside soon," Armin replied. The bouncer let us in after checking all of our IDs and it was time to start partying. I took Armin straight towards the bar.
"I don't think I'm ready to drink yet Eren..." Armin said hesitantly. "Armin, it is your 21st birthday, I am not letting you go alcohol free." I said ten waved the bartender over. "Two beers please," I said and he nodded, reaching behind the counter and pulling out two beers. "Don't worry Armin, we will start slow it's only beer," I said handing him one. The look on his face told me he was terrified, but I pretended not to see him and casually opened up my beer bottle.
"Hey Eren, I think that guy over there is staring at you, it's kind of creepy." Armin said nodding his head in the direction of a lone table. At the table sat a single person, he had black short hair and he looked like he had never smiled a day in his life.
"Eh, who cares let him stare. We came to have a good time, come on." I said leading Armin around the dance floor. I found Annie who was dancing by herself and pushed Armim towards her. "No Eren, I can't go dance with Annie, I-" "Hey Annie!" I yelled, cutting Armin off. She looked up, her way of acknowledging me. "Your turn with the birthday boy," I said and pushed Armin towards her harder. She grabbed his hand and started dragging him towards her. I saw Armin mouth the words 'I hate you', but I just smiled, he would thank me later. I turned back around to go find Mikasa when I saw that the table with the dark haired guy was empty.
'Huh, where did he go?' I wondered. 'Maybe he left,' I shrugged my shoulders and turned back around, only to find myself face to face with the dark haired man.
