(Y/N) is a normal girl. She wakes up, goes to school, comes home, relaxes, repeat. At age 18 she is itching to finish her last year of high school and officially start her life. Living with a family that struggled with money was never easy, but she...
The first day was a Wednesday, so the rest of the week went by pretty quick. Same old first introduction stuff. Blah, blah, blah. The weekend was here and we were all out together planning for the coming week. I.E. ignoring school work and instead planning for the No Name! concert. Because that's what us dumb teens do.
"Alright, we all got our tickets. Cool, cool. So, I for sure think we should coordinate outfits and shit. Maybe match the theme of the band? What do you guys say?"
I smile and nod. "Yeah that sounds cool Eren!"
The rest of the group nods in agreement. But then Mikasa and Jean look at each other and shake their heads.
Mikasa chimes in, "Do we have to dress up? I guess it sounds fun and all but I think I'd rather just dress comfortably." Jean nods.
"Yeah me too. I think I'll just go as myself."
Eren, Connie, Armin, Sasha and myself look at each other and shrug.
"Eh, sounds good. You guys don't have to dress up if you really don't want to. It's cool." Eren gives them both a polite smile, then rolls his eyes a bit at me. Armin and I giggle at his sassy response.
"Well, if you guys don't dress up with us, then you should totally match outfits. Like a couple."
Armin nudges Jean and he quickly blushed and brushed him off. Everyone else in the room, besides Mikasa, "ooo's" at them.
"Dude shut up! What are you even talking about? Jeez you guys are annoying."
Everyone laughs shortly. Mikasa shrugs a bit, but smiles shyly to herself. I notice and wink at her. She sees and quickly looks in the other direction to cover her tracks.
"Soooooo what? We gotta get bandages to wrap around our faces? How we gonna see them perform??" Sasha throws her hands up in frustration and Connie laughs hard at her.
"We don't have to wrap them around our eyes dummy! We can just put em around our heads."
She gives a blank stare then chuckles a little. "Pff oh yeah."
We all laugh at their silliness and continue to discuss our excitement for the concert.

---Monday Morning---
I'm awoken suddenly by my alarm once again. I pull myself out of bed and go to my closet to pick out an outfit for the day.
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
I get dressed and check myself in the mirror. I do some quick makeup. Eyebrows, mascara, and highlighter. Once I'm done, I step back and take my look in. I shoot myself some finger guns and grab my bag from the floor and head downstairs. As I'm walking to the kitchen, my phone buzzes. I check the notification.
Eren : sup gorgeous ;)
I laugh and roll my eyes.
(y/n) : oh shut up i know you're just trying to butter me up to give you a ride
Eren : say whaaaaat? i would neveeerrrrr
Eren : but yeah i'm still gonna need a ride lol
(y/n) : of course of course. who would I be without giving my best bro rides to school <3
Eren : aww gee thanks man <3
(y/n) : i'll be there in about 15
I place my phone down and chuckle lightly. I'm so lucky to have that goober as a best friend. I grab my usual cereal and eat quickly. Once I'm done, I grab my bag again, check to see I have all my stuff and head to the garage. I hop in my car, connect my phone and play, of course, my newest obsession. I quickly pick a song and start driving.
I nod my head to the rhythm and hum along to the lyrics. I pull up to the Yeager house and wait for Eren to come out. As I'm waiting I lose myself in the music and unconsciously dance a bit and sing out loud with the lyrics, letting the beat take control of my body. I don't even notice Eren come into the car and greet me. I'm knocked out of my musical trance as I feel a hand shake my shoulder. I jump and look to my right to see Eren with a slight look of shock on his face.
My eyes dart from him to the volume knob to turn it down then back to him. "What?"
He lets out a cough of a laugh and shrugs his hand slightly. "Dude, I had no idea you could sing like that!"
I blush and look down to the steering wheel. "Shit it's bad right? Ugh this is why I don't do this in front of others. Or try not to at least..." I run my hand nervously through my hair. He looks taken aback and quickly shakes his head.
"No no! (y/n) I mean, you sound amazing! Like, wow, I literally never expected you to have such a unique sounding voice. It's really good!"
I look up, shocked. "Um, wow thanks man. That honestly means a lot to me."
He smiles back. "Of course! Jeez why'd you hide that from us? I mean, if I had a voice like yours, I'd be running with No Name! and making millions!"
I chuckle and run my hands along the steering wheel awkwardly. "Well, I guess I just never thought I was any good. Like I only sing in the shower or my room. Wherever I'm alone. I never felt comfortable with sharing this publically. I guess I'm too afraid of people hating it or making fun of me."
Eren gives a slightly sad look then glances down and back up again. "Well, if it means anything, I think you sound beautiful. You should sing more" He scratches the back of his neck and smiles. i smile back."Thank you. It really means a lot."
I start driving again and soon we find ourselves at school. We walk up to the entrance and find our group waiting for us.
Armin waves to us. "There you guys are! We almost thought you were gonna be late or something. Come on. I heard we already have to prepare for a test in math."
"Aw man that sucks." Eren groans and rolls his head back. I chuckle and pat his shoulder.
"Don't worry. Your ol' pal (y/n) is here to help. Math happens to be my favorite subject. I'll help you guys prepare. For sure."
They all smile and thank me and we head in. We all talk about our usual gossip as we sit down and wait for class to start. I smile as I realize how lucky I am to be apart of this friend group.
Maybe it's about time I share my "secret" with them. How bad can it end up?
