10 things I hate about you ( Eren x fem reader)

Chapter 19

It was 9pm and I was sitting in bed eating dinner and watching Hulu, I got a text but I quickly swiped it away and continued to watch my show assuming it was one of those spam messages,

After the episode finished and I was done eating I closed Hulu and just began to scroll through my phone. I was thinking about texting Annie but I also just wanted to avoid her for now since thinking back to my scene earlier today I was embarrassed as hell.

I scrolled through my notifications and noticed the text message once again,

'Hey y/n, this is Reiner.'

I looked at the message sent almost half an hour ago and was shocked, confused and curious.

I decided to send a text back,

'Hi?'

He almost immediately replied.

'So I was wondering if you'd go bowling with me?'

Before I even finished reading he texted me again,

'Bert's going to be there and you can bring Annie or anyone you want!'

I could literally sense the awkwardness through the screen. I sigh swiping out of the text message, I was debating whether I should call Annie and ask her to come after everything that happened I wasn't sure though but if I couldn't get Annie to come with me then I definitely wasn't gonna go. It's not like I thought Reiner was a bad guy but going out with a man alone, not to mention he was clearly interested in me was a no.

I decided to put my pride aside and ask Annie because I hated leaving people on read so I wanted to give Reiner a direct answer,

'Bowling?' Was all I texted to her,

'When?' She replied making we swipe out of the text and text Reiner

'When?' I texted

'Saturday night! Like 7-8?' He replied and I sighed going to text Annie,

'7:30 Saturday' I texted annie

'Am I your ride?' She asked me

'Potentially' I texted

'Okay whatever let me know' she texted

I texted Reiner back 'yes'

'See you tomorrow!' He texted and I just went to sleep after that

I woke up to a text from Annie,

'Can we talk,seriously'

When I saw the text I kinda got scared. I really didn't want to but after everything she's done for me I felt like I owed her.

'Okay.' I replied.

'I'm on the way' she texted back only a few seconds later. My anxiety started to build up.

I got out of bed and brushed my teeth, washed my face and put on clothes since my pjs had holes in them from being too old. "I really need to buy new clothes" I said to myself looking at the huge holes in my shirt.

'I'm outside' Annie texted

I headed outside to her and got in her car. She waited until I fully got in to drive. "We can talk at my house, my dads not home" we pull up in her driveway and Annie gets out of the car quickly, I take a deep breath before getting out of the car.

Annie's already waiting on me with her front door opened, I mentally was not ready for any of this but I stepped inside anyways. "Are we going to your room?" she nodded and I headed to her room as she locked the door. It didn't take her long to get to the room, "so what did you want to talk about?" I was extremely nervous and hated the silence.

"I want you to tell me everything, y/n. I'm tired of having to hear about your life from everyone else"

"I know and I'm sorry" I wanted to put my head down, to curl up into a ball and weep, to literally just run out of the room and come back with a different personality, one suitable for confrontation. But I couldn't. I knew I had to talk to Annie and be genuine.

"So tell me" she demanded impatiently

I sighed
