33

Being 20 minutes early to your class, you ended up hanging out in the lounge to wait during the meantime. You said your greetings to Hange and Amy like you always did before entering the lounge.

As you walked in, you noticed that Mikasa and Sasha were both in the lounge, seated on the high chairs near the counter. Mikasa was drinking coffee while Sasha held a plate of scrambled eggs that you assumed she left in the fridge.

"Morning Y/n," Sasha beamed at you, moving her fork in the air as she waved at you.

"Morning Sasha," you smiled at her as you walked to the coffee machine.

"How's your morning going so far Y/n,"  Mikasa pierced her eyes on you as she sipped on her coffee, sticking her pinky out.

"Um great actually," you pressed the brew button and turned back around to look at the two girls, "How about the two of yours? How's it going?"

Sasha answered your question urgently before Mikasa got the chance to even answer, "Well, I finally made scrambled eggs after failing countless of times!"

"Okay I see youuuu," you smiled and laughed softly about how excited she was. You nodded your head at Mikasa, signaling for her to go next. She sighed deeply before saying her response.

"I didn't do much this morning but it's good so far."

You hummed at her response as you picked up your mug of coffee, reaching for the coffee creamer in the fridge. From the right side of the room, you heard singing echoing from the hallways.

The singing got louder as Chanel appeared with her AirPods in her ears. Chanel flashed a smile at you as she started dancing towards you, opening up her arms for a hug.

"Hey Chanel," you hugged her back.

"Hey girl," Chanel pulled away with an even more bigger smile. Your eyebrows lowered as you looked at her, wondering why she was ten times happier today.

"Chanel did something happen?" you questioned.

"Oh nooo," Chanel waved her hand at you. She moved her balled up fist closer to her mouth as she faked her cough, "My birthday, excuse me," She cleared her throat and patted her chest.

"Your what?" you leaned your ear closer to her so she could repeat what she said clearly.

"My....birth....day," Chanel said slowly. You nodded your head as your eyes grew wide.

"Oh shit, your birthday?! Is it today?"

"Nah," Chanel shook her head as she took her AirPods out of her ears and placed them back into her case, "It's exactly in 16 hours and 17 days."

"Ouuu okay, are you gonna do something?" You mixed your coffee with a plastic spoon after pouring in the coffee creamer.

Chanel let out a dramatic sigh, "Well I was hoping to get a surprise birthday party since last year some people didn't do it," Chanel gave Sasha and Mikasa a side eye after finishing her small complaint which was directed towards them.

"Aw that's too bad," you poked your bottom lip before lifting your mug up to your lips. You clicked your tongue after swallowing your coffee, "Looks like you ain't getting a surprise party this year, again."

Chanel's mouth dropped open after hearing what you just said to her. Her eyes slowly wandered from the left and right as her mouth stayed open.

"Are you for real? No you for fake," Chanel's acrylic was pointed at you as she waved her finger in the air.

You shrugged your shoulder and placed your mug back onto the counter, "Bummer," you made a fake pouty face, trying to stop your smile as well.

"I know yo ass is lying Y/n," Chanel took a napkin from the bin and pulled out a pen she had in her back pocket.

"Why do you have a pen in your pocket?"

"Just in case I'm in a situation like this," Chanel looked at the napkin as she started to write on it with the pen, "Here's my address."

You shook your head as you took the napkin with the tip of your fingers, "Chanel, I told you that you ain't getting a surprise party."

"I'm just giving you my address, no biggie," Chanel puckered her lips as she fluffed the ends of her curls a bit.

"You could've just texted me it.."

"Oh," Chanel took her phone out her pocket and already started to message you her address. You glanced at Mikasa and Sasha who were looking at you and Chanel as well.

Sasha mouthed 'Theme?' to you as you waved the napkin in the air. You shrugged and mouthed back 'Whats her favorite color?'

Sasha tapped her chin as she thought of what Chanel's favorite color could be. Sasha finally thought of an answer and mouthed back to you 'She likes rose gold and pink? We can choose either colors?"

Chanel whipped her head back to look at you, "Why is it so quiet? Y'all tryna send some signals?" She looked from you and the two girls near her. You shook your head and looked back at the coffee machine to "clean up", holding back your giggle.

~~~

As you and Chanel walked down the halls together to get to the studio, Chanel continued to gossip like she always does.

"Girl don't tell me i'm moving to fast but Kendrick is the one, I know it."

"Really?" you asked, waiting for Chanel to continue her theory.

"Lemme tell you why," Chanel moved her hand in the air, "I was talking to him last night and I was feeling things, whew."

"Uh huh."

She pointed her finger down as she spoke out, "If shes tingling, then you know it's time to get to da mingling," Chanel stuck her tongue out, making an 'ah' sound effect.

"Okay Megan," you laughed, opening the door before walking in. Ms Brown spun around in her chair as she watched the both of you walk in the room.

"Ms Brooooooown," Chanel giggled as she walked up to Ms Brown's desk.

"Yes?" Ms Brown placed her hands on her desk, looking up at Chanel who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Guess what's in 16 hours and 17 days!!!"

"My vacation from you?" Ms Brown moved her laptop in front of her before opening it. You giggled at Chanel's sudden reaction in offense as she placed her hand on her chest.

"Um no? It's my birthday."

"Oh yeah, I forgot," Ms Brown kept her eyes on her screen, holding back her laugh. Chanel leaned against Ms Brown's desk and kept on chattering with her about her birthday. You took this chance to walk to Sasha's table, to talk about the surprise party.

"Sasha," you whispered to the girl as she quickly looked up from her phone with a blank facial expression.

"Yeah?"

You pulled a chair towards her table and sat backwards on it with your arms resting on top of it, "Let's talk about the party."

Sasha turned off her phone and placed it beside her as she rested her chin onto her hand, alrighty thinking of different ideas.

"So the theme can either be rose gold or pink like I said earlier," Sasha began, "A lot of balloons, confetti, banners and um."

"Ouuu those are good," you took out your phone so you could type everything down into your notes. The door of the studio opened as other students came flooding into the classroom.

"Hi Connie," Sasha waved at the Connie.

"Hey Sasha, Hey Y/n," Connie sat down, resting his head on his arm, "Whatchu doing over here y/n?"

You kept your eyes on your phone screen as you continued typing, "Planning Chanel's birthday party."

"Oh shit her birthday's in 16 hours and 17 days," Connie rose his head up and leaned closer to you to peak at your phone, "What's your ideas?"

"Damn is Chanel telling everybody? Sasha gave me these ideas," you showed Connie your phone screen as he took your phone to look at what you typed into your notes.

"Don't forget the cake, I need cake there."

You laughed a loud to his comment as Connie handed you back your phone, "Thanks Sasha."

"No problem, let me know if you need any further help," Sasha gave you a thumbs up which you returned right after.

"Alright everyone, original seats are back since we're starting on something new," Ms Brown clasped her hands together as she slowly rose up from her chair. She strolled to the podium and leaned against it as her eyes scanned around the room.

Chanel was already seated at the table you both sat at previously, spinning around in her chair.

"Chanel stop that," you stopped her chair from spinning and turned her chair so she can be facing the front of the class. As you sat down, you looked over your shoulder to look at the door, watching Armin and Eren walk into the room together.

"Original seats today," Ms Brown pointed at the two boys. Remembering that the two sat behind you and Chanel, you turn your head around too look at Eren and mouthed 'We needa talk' to him.

Eren gave you a quick nod after reading your lips. You looked back at the front, listening to what Ms Brown had to announce.

"This project will have you stepping out of your comfort zone, mostly directed to the men in this room. With your partner, you will need to sew whatever type of shirt into a dress."

"But I don't know how to sew things for girls?" Jean blurted out, Connie humming and nodding his head in agreement.

"Well that's why you have Mikasa Jean, she'll help you. Connie, Sasha can help you as well...I think," Ms Brown mumbled the last part after remembering how Sasha sewed her shirt a few weeks ago.

"I'm not trying the dress on Armin," you heard Eren whisper to the blonde. You and Chanel slowly rose your heads up and looked at each after hearing what Eren said. You both snickered quietly enough so the two behind you wouldn't hear.

"Eren, you know that you're gonna have to. You suck at sewing," Armin whisper-shouted back.

"I'm not that bad, I can sew gloves and socks."

"You still suck."

"Don't you have a mannequin in your closet? Use that," Eren whispered. The two sat in silence after Armin thought of a response to Eren's comment.

"You're right," Armin admitted as he opened up his sketchbook. All you heard were claps from Ms Brown, signaling that everyone can start working now. Chanel turned her chair around so she can face Eren, patting her hand against his table.

"Whaaaaat?" Eren groaned in annoyance, not wanting to hear Chanel yapping again.

"One, go ask Historia if she has my M&Ms," Chanel pointed at Historia who was seated behind Eren and Armin. Eren spun his chair around and whispered to Historia asking if she had M&Ms, which she did.

Chanel caught the small pack of candy that Eren tossed to her and already ripped it open with her teeth, "Two, birthday is in..." Chanel pulled her phone out of her pocket to check her birthday tracker, "Now in 15 hours and 17 days."

Eren didn't respond, he clearly wasn't listening to the girl. It was like her words went through one ear and out the other as Chanel kept talking. Armin on the other hand was more invested about Chanel's birthday, allowing Chanel to talk to him instead.

You moved your chair back and turned around to face Eren. You rested your crossed arms on the table as you sat on the edge of your chair, leaning closer to him.

"What did you wanna talk about?" Eren stretched before copying your seating position. He also rested his crossed arms on the table and leaned closer to you, a small smile appearing on his face.

"So uh, you should know who Kenny is by now."

"Who?"

"Kendrick, sorry."

Eren softly hummed 'mhm', waiting for you to go on, "He told me last night about the questions you were asking him the other day."

Eren slowly moved his lips around, forming it into duck lips. You kept on going, "Just to clear things up, since he felt tense? Me and Kendrick are exes, nothing else."

You didn't notice Eren's eyes open widely since your slick ass had your eyes focused on his lips. You then brought your eyes back up to meet his, "Sorry for not telling you about him sooner, I didn't really think I needed to at first..."

Eren couldn't find any words to respond to your "apology". What was he suppose to say? He cleared his throat and leaned back in his seat, "It's fine." Eren felt face slapping himself. Fine is never a good answer to give to anybody, and he knew that.

You slowly nodded at him for taking everything in understanding, "No further thoughts?"

Eren shook his head no. You gave him two thumbs up, wiggling your thumb before turning back around to face your table to start sketching.
