Thorns and Roses [Modern Levi x OC] *ON HOLD*

Chapter 1: You Again?

My eyes fluttered open slowly. Light was seeping in through the blinds and music was playing loudly. I groaned and rubbed my tired eyes.

"They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me. They could care less a long as someone'll bleed. So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose, maybe they'll leave you alone but not me."

I grinned. I started to get up slowly. I sighed and grabbed my phone with my still pale hand. I turned the alarm off and stretched.

I sighed and got out of the bed. It was hard since the black blanket I had was extremely soft and comfortable.

My bare feet that had black toe nails touched the cold wood floor. I slowly made my way towards the closet, dragging my feet against the floor.

I ran my hand through my purple hair. The ends of my hair were a lighter purple though. I dyed about two months ago. I also got it cut. I have layers and side swept bangs now.

I know, I know.

Oh my God, Iris, you're such a hipster!

Well I told you I was secretly a hipster that everyone hated.

Did you guys listen to me?

(a/n: i deleted the line above bc 12 year old me made an insensitive joke that was honestly rly stupid lmao.)

I opened my closet and got clothes for my job. I got a pair of denim shorts with black tights. I grabbed a plain white crop top and over sized black sweater. Finally, I grabbed my black combat boots.

I brushed out my hair then straightened it out. I put my hair in a pony tail then grabbed my phone and purse.

I walked down the cool hallway and to the front door. I made sure I had my key then started heading for work.

I have a job at a small café, but I was also an author. I had one book published and was working on another one. Although, it wasn't coming along too well.

I wasn't what one would call 'Famous,' but people did recognize me at times. I never really wrote to become famous, I did it because I loved it.

Armin went to one of the best colleges to become a college professor. Eren and Mikasa went to different colleges, but they ended up with the same job; Detectives.

We were all still really close and kept in touch regularly. We also still saw each other. With Armin it was harder, but we still made it work.

There was a light breeze outside that made some hair go into my face. The sky was blue with a little bit of gray in it. There weren't too many clouds and the sun wasn't shining at its brightest.

The roads were busier today. I bet the café will be busier too. I didn't really need this job, but I liked working here believe it or not. Sometimes Eren and I would sit down and talk for a while.

I opened the door to the café, a small chime going off as I did. It was warm inside the café. The floor was white tile, there were tables and booths scattered across the room, and there were a decent amount of people here.

"Hey Iris!"

I walked over the the counter and grinned. "Hey Horse Face, how's it going?"

Jean narrowed his eyes at me. "At least I don't have...purple...hair...."

I raised an eyebrow at him. He just sighed. I walked over to him and patted him on the back. "It's okay, Horse Face, you get an 'E' for effort."

He laughed and nudged me. "Yeah yeah, just remember that I'm your boss, Iris."
