After giving Ms Brown her binder, you walked back to your table, noticing Chanel's lips forming into a grin, "What?" you sat down on your seat, leaning closer to her.

"I know you're throwing me a party Y/n," Chanel giggled into her hand.

"Who told you that?" you tried to pretend that you weren't aware about her party that you were clearly planning.

"Um Kendrick accidentally told me, I guess it slipped out."

You pinched the bridge of your nose and exhaled a deep sigh, "Kendrick had one job," you whispered to yourself. You rose your head up and looked at Chanel who still had that huge smile on her face.

"Yeah I am," you tapped your pencil against the table, "You we're gonna find out regardless."

"Ouuuu," Chanel squealed as rubbed her hands together, "I can invite anyone I want, right?

"Sure it's your party," you shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm going shopping for my outfit with Eren tomorrow, wanna come along?"

Chanel did her lil dancey dance in her chair before rising her head back up, "Say less."

You snapped your fingers to get Eren's attention and turned to look at him, "Eren, can everyone else come with us to the mall?"

Eren slowly lifted his head up and puckered his lips a bit before thinking of his answer, "Whatever you want."

You turned back around and pulled your phone out to message the group chat, letting them know that tomorrow everyone will be at the mall to shop for their outfits.

~~~

You stood in the hallway after Ms Brown ended class, waiting for Eren so he could walk home with you like he's done regularly.

"Hey Y/n," you heard a voice came up beside you. You turned your head and saw Mikasa standing in front of you with her hands behind her back, giving you a small smile.

"Hey Mikasa," you smiled, "What's up?"

"Oh, I just wanted to talk to you about something."

"Okay what is i-"

"Y/n you ready?" Eren said lowly as he came up behind you. You noticed Mikasa eyeing Eren sharply, scrunching up her face. Eren draped his arm over your shoulder, pulling you closer to his body.

You looked up at him and looked at his face that was rested to his usual neutral face, "Yeah I'm ready...What were you gonna tell me Mikasa?"

Mikasa moved her eyes back to you and shook her head, "I forgot, sorry."

"Well when you do remember, don't be afraid to text me, cool?" you let her know. Mikasa slowly nodded her head and walked around you and Eren before walking down the hall with Jean.

"Why was Mikasa here?" Eren whispered to you as the both of you walked out the building. You hopped onto the sidewalk after walking out the building like a little kid.

"Um ion know, she just wanted to talk?" you shrugged at him as you started to walk backwards Eren didn't respond but just hummed, keeping his hands in his pockets.

"I got a question," you turned around and started to walk beside him.

"Yeah?"

"What're you even gonna wear? Don't think of pulling up with a hoodie Eren," you raised your index finger at him after saying the second part of your sentence.

Eren let out a fainted chuckle before responding to your question, "I'm not sure yet," Eren looked down at his feet, kicking the small rocks that he came across.

(exactly, kick them rocks whore 😐👊🏾)

You put your hand behind your back as you both crossed the street, finally making it to the front door of your apartment building. Eren watched your braids hitting the side of your face as you rummaged into your bag, trying to find your keys.

"Gotcha," you whispered to yourself as you pulled out your keys. Before walking up the steps, you looked over your shoulder to wave goodbye to Eren until you felt your body being pulled into his.

"Oop?" your arms was up, not knowing where to put them as Eren kept his arms wrapped around you. He buried his face in the crook of your neck, feeling his soft mumbles against your skin as he took in the scent of your perfume.

"Eren you're squeezing me to tightly," You gently patted his back. You felt his tightness from his arms loosen a bit as he pulled away, finally letting you to catch your breath a bit.

"Sorry," he cleared his throat and murmured.

"It's okay," you grinned at him before snapping your fingers in the air, "Also, you don't gotta come by to pick me up, just meet me at the mall with the others."

"Oh okay," Eren nodded at you, "Goodnight...Y/n."

"Night Eren," you wiggled your fingers in the air as you waved goodbye to him, unlocking the front door and stepped inside.

y/n's outfit ^^

hakeem's outfit ^^

kendrick and chanel's outfit ^^

"N/n, babygirl, what is with you and these white people?" Hakeem looked out the window, watching your friends gather in a circle, waiting for you.

"One is actually half Japanese," you unbuckled your seatbelt and squinted your eyes out the window after seeing a familiar looking car, "Hold up, is that Kenny?"

Hakeem let a groan in annoyance and rested is forehead on the steering wheel, "Now who the hell invited this nigga over here?"

You let out a laugh and stepped out the car, "YO KENNY!" you cupped your hands around your mouth as you watched Kendrick and Chanel step out his car, both waving at you. You smiled and waved back at the two of them.

Hakeem closed his door and crossed his arms as he watched Chanel and Kendrick walk up to the both of you.

"Hakeem right?" Chanel stood in front of Hakeem with her purse in her hand.

"That's me," Hakeem flipped his imaginary hair, making Chanel giggle.

Kendrick waved at Hakeem, "Hi Hake-"

"Why is a peasant speaking to me?" Hakeem sent Kendrick a stank face. You and Chanel mouth opened widely after looking at Kendrick who was rolling his eyes and muttering under his breath.

"Are they always like this?" Chanel walked beside you as you all walked to your group of friends who were waiting for you.

"Yeah, trust me they love each other lowkey," you laughed as Chanel sighed, placing her hand on her chest as she shook her head, "But I see you and Kendrick matching, okay okay."

"Ahhh stop," Chanel hid her face with her hands, accidentally bumping into Kendrick's back as he stopped walking, "Kendrick," Chanel rubbed her forehead that collided with his back.

"Sorry," Kendrick rubbed his fingers against Chanel's forehead, giving it a small smack right after. You and Chanel were drowned with greetings as you both entered the circle that everyone was in.

You stood beside Eren as he kept eyeing Chanel and Kendrick, noticing their matching outfits. You felt his finger gently tap your shoulder as he whispered into your ear, "Is Chanel dating Kendrick?"

"Probably? Neither of them told me it's official yet," you shrugged. Eren gulped quietly and nodded his head slowly as he scratched his nose.

"White boy," Hakeem looked at Eren up and down as he stood beside you for your comfort. Hakeem wasn't used to being around so much white people.

( PLEASE HAKEEM HAS ME CRYING 💀💀)

Eren only gave Hakeem a short nod, keeping his mouth in a straight line. Hakeem accidentally gave him a mean mugged face and mumbled 'that damn white man smile' under his breath.

"I heard that," you gave Hakeem a side eye, gently slapping your hand on his shoulder, "Anyways, everyone this is my best friend, Hakeem," you raised your hands up to his face as you introduced him.

"Hi Hakeem."

"What's up bro."

"I like your outfit."

"Hey."

Hakeem looked at everyone that said hello to him and pressed his lips together, "Don't look at me too long, y'all might be plotting."

"Hakeem omg," you covered your face with your hands, hearing Kendrick and Chanel cackling and akekeing behind the both of y'all.

"What does he mean Y/n?" Historia twiddled her fingers together.

"Nothing Historia, let's go in now," you pulled the sleeve of Hakeem's jacket so he could be walking beside you. Eren was walking beside you as everyone else followed you inside the mall.

You all decided to part ways and agreed on meeting up at the food court after everyone is done with shopping for their outfits.

You and Eren decided to go shopping with Hakeem, Kendrick, and Chanel. Hakeem was already ahead, about to walk into H&M until Kendrick pulled him away.

"Uh uh," Kendrick shook his head at Hakeem, "We're going to [expensive ass store]."

Hakeem cackled in Kendrick's face and rose his eyebrow at the pink haired male, "You got [expensive ass store] money?!"

"Um no but the white man behind us prolly do?" Kendrick pointed at Eren. Hakeem clicked his tongue and moved his index finger in the air.

"Kenny you are absolutely correct," Hakeem clasped his hands together and walked towards you and Eren, "You, we bouta go to [expensive ass store] so your wallet will be needed."

Hakeem sent Eren a cold, long stare waiting for Eren to respond. Eren didn't want to say the wrong answer just by how intense Hakeem's eye contact was so he ended up agreeing.

"I- No Eren don't give him your money?! Hakeem you got your own credit card," you placed your hand on your hip as you and Eren finally caught up with Chanel and Kendrick.

"Y/n he does not care," Hakeem clapped his hands and cocked his head at Eren, "Right?"

"Uh," Eren scratched his head and rubbed the back of his neck, "Right..."

Hakeem hummed at you, proving you that Eren doesn't care. You shook your head and continued to walk with Hakeem into the [expensive ass store]. As you helped Hakeem look for his outfit, Chanel and Kendrick were dancing and showing off their moves in front of the mirror.

"Aye," Kendrick starts to dougie in front of the mirror, moving his arms and bopping his head to the store music.

"Nah watch this," Chanel pats Kendrick's chest and started to do the body roll. Both looked each other and started to milly rock in sync, hyping each other as they kept going.

"Eren," you tapped his shoulder after noticing how zoned out he was, "Did you hear what I just asked you?"

Eren slowly looked away from Kendrick and Chanel and looked back at you. Eren was to busy in his thoughts, trying to process everything. If Kendrick might have a thing with Chanel, how exactly could Kendrick also have a thing with You? "What was it?"

"I said, should we go to Macy's to buy me and Chanel's outfit?" you folded the shirt that Hakeem balled up and tossed to the side, making the stacks of shirt look a uneven.

(if this ain't my mom 😐 like girl it don't take that long to fold the shirt and put it back)

"Yeah, you should," Eren kept his eyes on your lips that slowly formed into a smile, wandering his eyes on your cheeks that were showing your dimples. He cleared his throat as he looked away from you, staring straight ahead.

"Good answer," you patted down the shirt you finished folding as you turned back around, hearing Hakeem shout your name from the other side of the store.

* y'all won't see the outfits until the party chapter is here so haha 🥰👊🏾*

✧ 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕, 𝒖𝒉 𝒐𝒉 👀 ✧

"Kenny don't be shy, share them fries," Hakeem stuck his hand out, moving his fingers up and down making a 'give me' hand gesture.

Kendrick finished chewing his fry and shook his head, "Uh uh, remember when you didn't give me a jolly rancher? Exactly." Kendrick pushed Hakeem's hand away from his tray and ate the rest of his fries.

Hakeem sucked his teeth and rested his cheek on his hand, crossing his leg over his other in his seat. You, Hakeem, Chanel, Kendrick, and Eren all arrived at the food court way earlier than your other friends.

"You cannot take white people no where, where them wiggas at?" Hakeem complained as he looked around the food court, hoping to see any pale skin he recognized.

"Hakeem, you mean you can't take black people no where," Kendrick held his fry before chomping on it, "Niggas never arriving on time."

"He ain't lie though," you stuck up a finger, agreeing to the point that Kendrick made.

"They were literally waiting for us 'cus we arrived late," Chanel added on to the statement that Kendrick made. All four of you nodded and snapped your fingers, agreeing to what Chanel was saying.

Eren stayed silent, just listening to the four of you chatting as he waited for his friends to come back. Eren's shoulders relaxed a bit as he saw Connie's buzzcut appearing in the crowd.

Connie walked up to the table with a tray with two cheeseburgers and a side of fries and sat next to Kendrick, already diving into his food.

"Is this why y'all was late? To get food?" you chuckled and pointed at Connie's tray. You watched Sasha taking a seat beside Connie with the same food on her tray.

"Basically," Jean took his seat, everyone taking a seat right after. You noticed everyone had a handful of bags that all came from the store they bought their outfits from. You tucked your lips in surprise at the amount of shopping bags they had.

You made eye contact with Kendrick as you both compared your shopping bags to their amount of shopping bags, quickly snickering at the comparison.

"Well i'll be damned," Hakeem made the 👴🏾 voice as he looked at all the shopping bags your friends had, "Please I just know they went to different stores to buy one thing.

Kendrick snickered, quickly covering his mouth so he didn't spit out the sprite he was drinking, "They prolly went to Steve Madden for the shoes, Gucci for the bag, Hollister for the jeans, Louis Vuitton for the belt."

"Chile," you and Chanel said at the same time as you both shook your head, trying not to laugh. Your friends looked at each other, matching the same confused facial expression as they looked back at the four of you. Assuming that you were probably making fun of them.

For the rest of the time, all of y'all just decided to chill, talk, and even eat until y'all felt like going back home.

"Kendrick's loud ass mouth told Chanel about the party Hakeem," you drummed your fingers against the table as you looked at Kendrick who was trying to hide his face.

Hakeem slapped the back of Kendrick's neck, "Bozo, this was why we shouldn't have brought yo ass to party city."

"Nah but Kendrick was actually a big help on Saturday, we got hella shit done," you pointed out. Eren's ears perked up, his eyes slowly opening widely a bit after he heard what you said.

Eren looked at you and pressed his finger against your shoulder repeatedly to get your attention. You whipped your head at him and titled your head as you looked at him.

"Yeah?"

"You went to party city on Saturday?" His voice was below a whisper, he sounded a bit tense as he spoke.

"Uh huh, I went with Kendrick and Hakeem."

The "and" made Eren blink his eyes slowly but repeatedly. Eren's mouth felt dry as he kept his mouth parted open a bit, no words were able to roll off his tongue. He gulped as he leaned against his seat, rubbing his hand against his thigh.

You knitted your eyebrows down as you looked at Eren. What was wrong with him?

"Eren are you okay?" you slowly turned your body, resting your leg up on your seat as you looked at Eren, studying his face closely.

"I-"

"Chanel?" a soft, feminine voice came up to your table. You looked away from Eren to find a brown girl with black hair that reached above her butt. The grills in her teeth shined in the light as her smile grew.

"Angel?!" Chanel rose up from her seat, muttering 'excuse me's' as she tried to get through to hug the girl who you assumed to be her friend.

"Shit," Eren mumbled under his breath as he sat up a bit, looking down at his phone as if he was trying to avoid any type of interaction from the girl. You tilted your head after noticing what Eren just did.

* this is what the girl looks like*

Her hands waved in front of Chanel as you caught a glimpse of her long black acrylics. She squealed giving Chanel a hug which Chanel returned.

"Y'all meet Angel, she's a friend of mine from high school," Chanel pulled Angel by her wrist, bringing her closer to the table. You heard choking noises from Connie as his eyes opened widely from seeing Angel.

"No way, no way, no way," Connie muffled into his hand as he looked from Angel and Eren, who was till trying to hide his face.

"Hold on, I know you..."
