I slowly slip on my black flat buckle rounded kitty shoes that paired nicely with my black leggings, black spider web mesh shirt and my mahogany cardigan. It is currently Thursday afternoon, today I start my job at Hange's metaphysics store.
Mikasa has been blowing me off all week...
I don't get it, did I do something wrong?
I went out to the kitchen to pack myself a snack and see Eren sitting on the couch.
"EREN!" I yell.
He jumps slightly.
"Jesus fuck I'm siting right here. What do you need?" He asks.
"Why is Mikasa not talking to me?" I blurt.
"Uhhh how the hell should I know? She doesn't tell me anything about her personal life." He replies.
"Oh. Well I gotta go to work, if you see her can you please tell her to call me?" I ask.
"Yeah no problem. But uh- come to think of it she hasn't been here all week." Eren says.As I arrive at the metaphysics shop I see Levi leaving.
"Ugh- did you come here to check on me? Before I even started?" I ask.
"Nope. Uh- just on my way home."
He seems almost.... embarrassed?
"Wait- if you're not here to check on me then... why are you here?" I question.
"Okay see you later." Levi says abruptly, marching towards his car.
I shrug it off and make my way into the store, seeing Hange and Sasha taking inventory.
"Wait- is Levi?" I point to the outside.
"Are you?" I then point to Hange.
"Nothings happened yet!" She says in defence.
"But they sure did click at the party!" Sasha giggles.
"Wait! Now that [Y/N] is here, can I go eat my lunch?" Sasha licks her lips.
"I brought sushi and that's all I have been thinking about all day." She added.
"Sure! Go. I'll show you the ropes
[Y/N]." Hange replies.
I snag the chart and pen from Sasha.
"Time to spill the beans." I look at Hange.
"Ugh! There's really no beans to spill! We're just kinda- really getting along right now." Hange begins to get flustered.
"Well it's about time." I retort.
"Let's just get to work." Hange sighs and smiles.————————————————————
It's now Friday evening and I still have heard nothing from Mikasa.
I notice Eren getting ready to go out.
"Hey! Are you going out with Mikasa tonight?" I ask.
"No, Madeline and I are going out on a date tonight." Eren replied.
"Do you know what Mikasa is doing or where she's gonna be? She hasn't been answering any of my texts, I'm starting to get really worried." I say.
"No. Why don't you just call her on my phone then?" Eren suggests, handing me his phone.
"Hokai good idea." I then click Mikasa's number and wait as the line rings.
"What do you want?" Mikasa's voice comes through the other line.
"Hey it's me." I chirp.
"Oh.... hey... wall girl." Mikasa says flatly.
"How come you haven't been answering my texts or calls?" I question.
"Oh I've um- sorry. Been a busy week." Mikasa says.
"Well- what are you doing tonight?" I ask.
"Uh- I'm kind of... going on a date tonight." She replies.
"Is everyone going on a date tonight?!" I exclaim.
"Okay look. I'll call you later and we'll hook up, just give me til around nine alright? Meet me at the gas station on
McKnight. I'll be there." Mikasa says.
I blew a raspberry.
"Okay. I'll be waiting, see you in a bit."
"See ya." And with that, the call ended.
"Everything okay?" Eren asks as I hand him his phone.
I shrugged in frustration.
"Guess I'll find out tonight."After having passed the time of re-playing several levels of Left4dead2 I checked my phone in anticipation.
Shit, ten to nine! I have just enough time to run to the gas station!
I'll make it there if I run across the highway. It'll be a suicide run though...HONK! HONK!
Several cars honked at me as I ran my way across the deadly road, hopping over the mid section island.
"Sorry! Sorry!" I yelled apologetically.I arrived at the gas station right at nine o'clock, Mikasa was nowhere to be seen however.
"Phew! At least I have time to catch my breath." I say to myself as I stand next to the no loitering sign.Ten minutes passed, and still no Mikasa.
I'm beginning to think I've been stood up...
Just then, a cherry red Audie sedan pulled into the parking stall in front of me.
"Mikasa?" I mutter.
"Think again." Madeline's cocky voice replied as she emerged from the passengers side.
Two other girls got out with her.
"So what do you have to say for yourself, bitch?" She smiled sadistically.
"Uhhhh... what?" I was confused.
"Wait- don't you have a date tonight?" I ask.
"So you didn't invite me to your party just so you could have Eren all to yourself?" She snarled.
"But- that wasn't me. I didn't-"
"We broke up, because of you!" Madeline pointed her finger angrily at me.
"What is happening here?" I ask, still confused.
"Kick her ass, Madeline!" One of her Barbie friends yells.
"Oh I plan to!" Madeline yells, charging at me.
"Wait Madeline, don't!" I began to say, but Madeline's fist quickly came flying towards my face.
I managed to dodge, quickly twisting my body around to elbow her in the back of the head, sending her flat into the wall.
The girls seemed taken back by the fact that I could fight.
Thank youuuu, Levi.
"Well, she can't take all of us!" The other girl uttered walking towards me as Madeline stood up, angrier.
Just then, a black mustang pulled up.
"Hey!" Mikasa's voice growled from the passenger window.
She emerged, another female with her exiting the drivers side.
"RUN!" Madeline screamed, terrified.
"No! We can take them!" One of the other girls uttered.
"No! Trust me, run!" Madeline wailed, pulling them both aggressively back towards the Audie.
The car quickly drove away.
"You okay?" Mikasa asked, running towards me, the other girl accompanying her.
"Yeah yeah I'm fine, Madeline didn't even come close to getting a swing at me." I chuckled.
"Sorry we're late, it's my fault." Mikasa's company uttered.
"I just can't keep my hands off this girl." She smirked, looking at Mikasa.
"Well anyways, I'll leave you two alone. See ya later hun." She says, kissing Mikasa on the cheek before leaving.
As the mustang left, there was a moment of awkward silence.
"So?...." I said in a professional manor.
"How have you been?"
"Ugh, let's just cut the shit. I was mad at you, alright?" She uttered.
"But... what did I even do?" I ask, dumbfounded.
"I guess I just thought our friendship was more than just a strategic alliance." She mumbled.
"Oh shit- did I say something at the party? 'Cause honest to god I don't really remember a whole lot, I was pretty mucked up." I scratched the back of my head awkwardly.
"Ugh, it's possible that I'm just acting like a basic bitch." She rolled her eyes.
"No- no. Our friendship really does mean a whole lot to me. I mean for gods sake I even called you off of Eren's phone." I chuckle.
"Yeah, that you did." She chuckled as well.
"Whatever I said, I didn't mean it. It was just me being stupid... and drunk." I shrugged.
"Oh come here you cute idiot." She pulled me into a hug, then ruined it by giving me a noogy.
"Damn it Mikasa!" I chuckle half heartedly.
"Come on wall girl, let's go have some fun."
"Haha yeah, but how are we getting anywhere?" I ask.
"Sasha and Hange are picking us up across the street in five minutes, come on we gotta move!" She grabs me by the wrist and yanks me along with her.
"What was that about anyway?" She asked me as we walked.
"I honestly have no idea. Something about her and Eren breaking up?" I say with slight confusion.
"Yeah, that was bound to happen." Mikasa sighed.
"Where are we going anyway?" I ask as Hange's vintage Volks Wagon beetle is seen pulling into the parking lot across the street.
"Somewhere you'll get fucked up beyond reason."
