Almost is Never Enough (Attack on Titan Fanfic)

Jealousy

The bus stopped.

I wonder if any of our friends had eavesdropped our conversation...

I turned around to check.

Marco and Jean were talking to each other. Krista was texting on her phone. They couldn't have possibly hard our conversation...

How about...... EREN!!!???? I turned around.

He was sitting RIGHT BEHIND OUR SEAT!!

He smirked at me and winked.

I turned so red.

That stupid dolt...

I pulled my hood over my head and slouched in my seat.

Somebody kill me now!

Gwen POV

We reached our destination. We all got down the bus.

Armin was muttering curses under his breath so I decided to give him his personal space.

"Alright," Kirsta said. "I'll go with Gwen, and Jean, Marco, Armin and Eren will go together in the mall. We'll meet back here in two hours. Everyone cool with that?" We all nodded.

Armin POV

"Come on Gwen, let's go! I CAN HEAR THE SHOPS CALLING MY NAME!!!" Krista said and pulled Gwen to the shops.

"Come on let's go!" Marco said, giving a warm smile.

On our way to a shop, Eren was smirking at me. "I recorded your 'romantic' conversation with her.'' He said, waving his phone.

"Eren!! What's your problem?!" I shouted and wanted to snatch his phone away.

I snatched his phone and went to his recording.

"What the... ARMIN!!" he screamed.

I ran away while deleting the recording. He chased after me.

"HA!" I said as the recording was deleted.

"Ugh fine!!" Eren said, disappointed. He couldn't embarrass me now! Ha!

"So..." he said, "Do you really like Gwen?"

"N-no I don't she just a friend..." I stuttered and scratched me head nervously.

"Yup you definitely like her." Eren said.

"Fine you got me... I guess... But DON'T TELL ANYONE ESPECIALLY GWEN OR YOU WILL GET IIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!" I screamed.

"Well okay!" He said cheekily.

He was up to something...

Gwen POV

Krista and I were excitedly looking around the place. There was a lot of cool dresses and very pretty ones. We decided to get our dresses fast also because all might me sold out since the dance is approaching. Krista and I looked around and tried many dresses but none expressed what we liked. That was when a dress caught my eyes.

"Hey Kirsta!" I called out to her.

"Yea what is it??" she asked.

"This is perfect for you." I said.

"Oh MY GOSH!! Gwen, HOW DID YOU FIND THIS?! IT'S PERFECT!!" she gasped.

The dress was a faint golden. It has golden sequins from the bottom and the number of sequins slowly decreases to the top.

"Go try it on!" I said.

She nodded happily and ran to the changing room.

She came out and showed me the dress on her. It looked AWESOME on her!

After she changed back to her clothes, we carried on looking for my dress.

"Look, Gwen I found this!" I heard Kirsta say.

I walked towards her and saw the dress She picked out for me.

The dress Was white in colour and there was back floral lace at the bottom and the sleeves of the dress. It was BEAUTIFUL!!! Except it was a bit too... Showy...

"Don't worry about it! Just go try it on!" Kirsta said.

"Well, if you say so..." I said.

The dress looked so pretty.

"You look HOT!!!!" Krista said, gasping.

"SHHHHHHHH! Not so loud!" I said, I still thought it was showy though...

"Please Gwen BUY IT!! You look so pretty!" she pleaded.

"oh... FINE!!" I gave in.

I wonder what Armin is wearing...

At the bus stop, Eren asked me, "Gwen? I was wondering... Would you be my date for the school dance?" his cheeks were so pink.

I was surprised.

"Well, I don't have any plans," I said blushing, "So I guess, OKAY!"

He smiled and hugged me.

I blushed even more.

At the corner of my eye, I saw Armin looking very shocked, he clenched his fists and looked down.

What's wrong with him??

Armin POV

I can't believe it!

Eren is taking Gwen on as a date when he knows I like her?!

What kind off friend is he?!

I clenched my fists and looked down.

I can't do anything... Gwen is not even mine!

I hate it. Why do I feel so... jealous?

Damn it, Eren! Sometimes I really hate you...
