Annie's POV
“Oh, you're gonna lose! You're gonna lose!” Bertholdt shouts while he punches buttons on the consoles controller.
I can hear the random sounds from whatever game it was they were playing. It was a typical night at Bertholdt's place. Reiner and Bertholdt were on the floor playing a game on Bertholdt's iPS360 and here I am sitting on the computer chair, legs propped up on the desktop, reading about the latest gossip in whatever magazine Bertholdt had laying around. Too bad for me it was never gossip, it was always news about games. Damn him and his fascination over something so pointless.
“Ah!” Reiner shouts. He tries to mess Bertholdt's game up by pushing his arm, but that never works. “Hey, Annie. Why don't you stop staring and come over here and play already.”
Damn, he caught me.
“Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.” Bertholdt pauses the game, quickly gets up, pulls a box from under his bed and searches crazily for who knows what. Finally, he pulls out an extra controller and hands it to me. “Good thing I have a spare.”
I just stared at the remote and then back at him. Does he honestly want me to play?
“I don't want to play any of your stupid games.” I tell him. I flip the page and continue to skim it.
“Let her be,” Reiner says. “She's in one of her moods again.”
“The only mood I'm in is sticking that remote up your ass.” I tell him whilst skimming.
Bertholdt's POV
I never enjoyed it when Annie jokes like that, not that it was rude, but because it made me feel there was something going on between the two. N-not that it bothers me or anything, its just that... Eh, never mind.
“It's fine,” I return back to Reiner. “Wanna play another round?”
“Actually, it's getting pretty late.” Annie says as she stands up. “It's not safe to be out so late in the streets. Not after what happened last time.”
“She's right,” Reiner says. He begins to stand and I join him. “Maybe next time, bud.”
“Uh, yeah.” I quickly toss the spare remote on my bed. “Let me walk you guys out.”
Reiner's POV
Bert led us out his room, down the stairs and out the front door.
“Be safe.” He told us. “And Reiner...”
I turn around.
“Yeah?” I asked.
“Come on, Reiner.” Annie called at me impatiently.
“Uh, never mind.” Bert said looking away.
“Alright, good night, Bert.” I told him.
Annie lives five block away from Bert's home and I lived seven from Annie's. I don't mind the walk really, Annie is quiet most of the time and I just think to myself. Annie isn't wrong though, it does get crazy out here sometimes considering what happened to us last time... But that's a story for another time. Three blocks until I drop Annie off.
“Hey,” I call Annie. “I want to talk to you.”
“Don't sound so serious, Reiner.” She tells me.
I ignore her comment.
“Would it kill you to be a bit nicer to Bert?” I tell her. Almost immediately she stops walking. She didn't do anything but stare at me. Her face was almost one of disgust as if she couldn't believe of what I had just asked her to do.
“I think it would.” She begins to walk again.
“Annie, I'm being serious.”
“I'm kidding. Take a hint and relax, you might pull a muscle.”
“It's just that-”
“It's just that what, Reiner?” She stops walking again. “Hate to break this to you, but this is my personality and if you don't like it than oh well.”
“I just feel like after what he did for you, you should treat him with some respect.”
“What are you talking about, what'd he do?” Annie seemed confused.
“He took the blame for you sending that email to the teachers.”
“Oh-my-are you serious?” Annie nearly shouted at me. “That happened years ago, I can't believe you still remember that.”
“You still haven't thanked him for it.” I told her.
“Everyone knows Levi sent that email, not me.” She begins to speed walk.
“That's what everyone thinks,” I run to catch up to her. “But only a handful of us know the actual truth.”
“Reiner, I'm done talking about this.” Annie is nearly home now.
“It's just a simple thank you and we can all move on!” Frustrated, I yelled at her.
“Stop acting stupid. What happened, happened and we can't go back to change that."
Annie opens her gate, and runs inside her house.
Connie's POV
The last few days were such a blur. After meeting up with Reiner again, he gave us some info. Lots of info. Annie was still Annie. And, Bert, was OK. After the 'incident' I thought they'd be long gone.
"They're still around? What school are they attending?" Sasha quickly zipped open her backpack, revealing a pad of paper and a box of pencils. She ripped out a page and pulled a pencil into her hand.
"Dauper High."
"That's the most ghetto school in this entire county. Are you sure they're OK?"
"I'm positive. In fact, I was with them last night. Bert and I were playing on his iPS360."
"Ha, I was going to get one of those for Eren." I chuckled under my breath.
"Eren is such a nerd. He asked if I knew what 'Shirobako' or some shit was, I mean. I don't watch that Japanese-y stuff."
"Uh, yeah." It hurt for me to hear her say that. I was secretly obsessed with anime. When I was bored or couldn't sleep, I'd go on my phone, enter the Crunchyroll app and binge watch 'NoGameNoLife' or 'Kill La Kill'.
"Anyways, when can we go see them?" Sasha took hold on my hand.
"Well, I'm not very sure if they want to see you."
"Why wouldn't they?..."
"Uh, I'll call you later." Reiner made a sorry excuse for a smile while he held up the phone number that Sasha gave him. As we parted ways Sasha and Mina chattered until we made it to Mina's house.
"Welcome, to my humble domain." With emphasis on the 'main' she swung the front door open, letting us step inside.
"I wonder what Reiner didn't want us to know." Sasha sighed.
"I don't have a clue but, whatever it is will lead us to a whole 'nother problem."
