"Armin, are you sure you lost it here?."
"I'm certain Eren, I threw it here when I was running away from them."
"But we have been searching for it for half an hour, maybe someone has already picked it up." Infered Eren.
"Don't say that!, my grandpa gave it to me and I don't want to lose it." He lookes to the ground with tears in his eyes.

____ sighed and gets up from her crouching position as she was searching for the book and walks to the blond boy. She takes one of his hands in hers.
"Let's keep searching, we might still find it."
"Yes, thank you ____." He wipes his tears with his sleeve and tries to smile but fails to.

"As much as I want to believe we will find it, I don't want you to be upset if we don't Armin, Maybe one day we will see it ourselves."
"What is this book about?. You both seem really attracted to it." Armin's eyes become wide and he looks unsure of what to say whilst Eren narrows his eyes at her.
"I-it's about-."
"None of your business."
"Eren!, be nice."

____ walked to a cart behind her, She climbed and sits on top of it swinging her legs back and forth, she stares blankly at them as Armin keeps scolding Eren. When she averts her eyes to her side, she glimpses something a little behind her. She turned around and saw a book, she reached her hand to catch it and jumped down.

"Armin, is this your book?."
"Huh?." Both Eren and Armin turn to her.
"M-My book." they get shocked when they saw the book between her hands as she opens the book and stares down at a page in the middle of the book, her eyes wide when she saw the picture on it.

"Isn't this the-Ah!." She screams when the emerald eyes boy launches on her.
"Give it back!." He grabbes the book and pushes her to the ground and she falls on her butt.
"Eren!, what's wrong with you?!."
Armin runs to ____'s side and crouches next to her.
"Are you ok?."
"I am." She got up and glares at Eren, he turnes his eyes away from her, doesn't want to see the scary glare she is sending him.

"Eren, you didn't have to be to rude. Apologize to her." Demands Armin.
Eren turns his head to face his friend.

"And why should I?, she was the one being rude to look without permission." He stubbornly refuses. Armin frownes at his friend.
"Eren!, you have crossed the line many times today!, apologize to her immediately."
"I will not do such a thing!." He fired back.

_____ felt bad for the two friends to fight for her sake, but what caught her intention more is the book Eren is holding.

"That book is about the outside world right?."
Both boys freeze at her calm voice.

"A while ago, the boy from before said something about the outside world and how you keep talking about it. That's why they keep hurting you, it's illegal to have anything related to the outside world in here and that's why you were trying to hide it from them, am I wrong?".

They didn't answer, instead they stand astonished fear shows on their faces.

"Also, I just saw a picture about the desert." She added.

"Don't you dare tell anyone!."
"Please don't tell anyone!."
"I won't tell." She shakes her head.

"R-Really? You won't?." asked Armin, his big blue eyes begging.
She nods in response.
"T-thank you so much!."
"You better not be lying." Glares the brown haired boy. His friend wipped his head and narrows his eyes at him.
"Enough already Eren!."
"Whatever."

The h/c girl can see the difference between the two friends and she wished to go home. She didn't want to gain friends in this way. Aaskse day she has been getting yelled at from the hot headed boy and she didn't want convince her temper and get in a fight with him.
