The next day went just like the one before, as was usual. You wore a black long sleeve with a matching black plaid skirt, black heels, and black patterned stockings. Today, you took a little bit longer to get ready than usual. So, when Zeke was waiting five extra minutes he was a little upset. "You know I have other people to pick up right, (y/n) ?" he asked, going a bit faster than usual to make up for the lost time.

"I didn't. You didn't pick anyone up yesterday," you answer blankly.

"But that was yesterday."

"Okay sorry." It was way too early for you to go back and forth, especially because you were up all night talking and getting research done for your project. Plus you were pulling up to Jean's house where their other two team mates/friends, Reiner and Bert, were waiting. You didn't want to give those two a show especially since you knew that they'd try to convince Zeke to leave you every chance they got.

You watched as the three boys jogged up to the car and filed into the backseat. "What's up Zeke ?" Reiner greeted your boyfriend, leaning up to the front to give him a handshake. Bert greeted him the same way. Jean, however, was the only one to actually greet the both of you.

The ride to school was filled with them joking around and talking about different girls. You tuned them out as you continued to scroll through your phone. That is until you heard your name. "What was that ?" you turned to face Reiner with an attitude.

"Relax babe, he was just joking," Zeke moved his hand to your thigh.

"Okay but I still want to hear what he said."

"I said you seem like you're making a friend with that weirdo you got paired up with," Reiner responded with a snarky look on his face.

"Oc-" You quickly stopped yourself, realizing that you almost said his nickname. "Armin isn't weird, just smart and quiet. You should try it," you glare at him before turning back around in your seat.

"She's got you there," Jean leaned up to give you a fist bump to which you happily obliged.

"Whatever," he grumbled to himself.

"Well all I know is he shouldn't get too close if he knows what's good for him," Zeke commented as his right hand made its way to your thigh.

You mentally groaned at his territorial tendencies but you let it be, going back on your phone. Within the next few minutes, you all arrived to school.

Just like the day before, you all stopped by your locker and met up with Mango and Tay. You all stood around for a bit, chattering about the quickly approaching games and what your group's plans were for homecoming.

"Where did you guys wanna take pictures again ?" Tay asked as she leaned closer to you and Mango, showing off her royal blue dress she was going to wear.

"Riverwalk. Downtown," Reiner answered before turning to Zeke. "Have the two of you decided what colors you'd wear when you guys win ?"

Zeke's arm looped around your waist before answering with such pride. "Red. She looks better in that than any other color."

You raised your eyebrow, trying to see what he meant by his statement but Mango beat you to the punch. "What type of backhanded shi-"

Saved by the bell. It was now time to go to class. You were pretty excited to go since you found out Armin was Ocean. You tried tugging Zeke's arm to get him to come with you to class but he wanted to get a few more words in with his friends. You grumbled as you stood against the lockers waiting. 

Just as you about to start walking to class without him, you notice a blonde haired boy jogging through the hall with a skateboard in his right hand and three books in the other. It was Ocean. 

As soon as he was about to turn to look at you for a brief moment, Zeke slightly stuck out his foot, causing for Ocean to trip and fall. His skateboard began to roll a little bit from him and his books scattered onto the floor. 

"Zeke what the hell ?!" you exclaimed. 

"Relax. Maybe he should look where he's going and stop running in the halls." 

As much as you wanted to argue, you didn't hesitate to stop his skateboard from rolling too far away and to pick up the first book you saw. "Hey are you okay ?" You crouched down in front of him to help him up as he gathered the other two books. 

When he got up, you handed him his other two loose articles back. His face was red and he was clearly irritated beyond belief. But all he said was, "I'm fine." He turned away and started walking to class. 

By now, Zeke and his entourage was laughing and beginning to head to first period as well. His arm found a way to drape back over you but as the two of you walked, you quickly slapped it away. "What was that for ? Don't tell me you're still mad about-"

"Not now," was all you said before turning into the class and taking your seat in the back of the class. While Professor Zoe got today's activities started, Zeke was constantly trying to whisper things to you, in hopes to start a conversation. All of them, you ignored. Mad wasn't even the word right now. 

You zoned out as they continued to give out directions, looking out the window into the school's courtyard that was beginning to be illuminated by the sun's rising light. You finally snapped out of it when you felt one more tap on your shoulder. One of Zeke's team mates were trying to pass you a note. You sucked your teeth and shooed his hand away, not even wanting to take the note from his hand. 

It was maybe a few more minutes of Professor Zoe dragging on before they said : "Okay everyone pair up with your partners. Today is the day to get books from the library if you need em'."

You grabbed your things and walked to an empty seat next to Ocean's. "Hey."

"Hey." He was quiet, as if he didn't feel comfortable talking to you in that room. You didn't say anything before you went to go ask Professor Zoe for a pass to library. They obliged so you slapped it onto Ocean's desk. "What ?" he looked up at you. 

"Let's go and find a book or something."

He nodded, his face remaining expressionless and the both of you walked out of the room. And of course, Zeke was staring at the two of you walking out.

The walk to the school's library, was a pretty quiet until you decided to speak first. "I'm sorry about-"

"This is the second time you've apologized for something he did to me. Did ya' know that ?"

You honestly didn't but now looking back, you found yourself doing that frequently. And not just for the incidents with Ocean. It was anyone he would do unnecessary shit to, you would always apologize and make amends while he continued on like nothing happened. 

To Armin, it was clear that he must've struck a nerve so he changed the subject. "It's fine though, you're just a good person. Anyways, did you still want to come skating tonight ?"

"Yeah. Speaking of tonight, did you wanna start the project at my house or yours ?"

"Mine is fine, though the idiots might be there."

You laughed to yourself, thinking about the night before when his two friends came bursting into the room. "That's fine. I like your friends."

Later That Day..

You squinted your eyes, trying to figure out if the house you were in front of was the first one. In your backpack, you had a bunch of art supplies and school stuff and under your left arm, was your skateboard. The things were starting to get a little heavy so you were hoping that the door you were at was the right one. You gave the tall oak door a small knock. Within five minutes, you hear someone shouting : "Act cool !" before answering.

It was Ocean's buzz-cutted friend, Connie. He leaned across the doorframe. "Welcome lady (y/n)."

You laughed. "Hi. Armin's here right ?"

"Yeah. He's in the bathroom either shitting or trying to look pretty for y-"

You watch as someone yanks Connie away from the door and steps where he was. "Sorry Snail." You hear Ocean laugh nervously as he stepped into the doorframe, reaching his hands out to take your clearly heavy bag from you. 

You handed it to him so that he could step to the side and let you in. He led you to his living room where there was a few art supplies and a cardboard box spread out on the small coffee table. "Just sit here," he motions his hand out to a couch that he sat your bag beside. And you would've sat on the couch but you felt as if it was too far from the coffee table that you would be working at so you opted for the floor. 

"Okay so I was thinking we use the box to put the diorama in.." You listened to Ocean, agreeing and nodding your head so that he knew you were onboard with what he was saying. In no time, the two of you started working, painting the box different shades of blue to represent each of the ocean's levels. There was also touches of glitter thanks to you and Sasha, who happened to get there a little bit after you. 

As you continued your project, Ocean and you had talks, talking about things that you two usually would on your servers. Everyone would chime in every once in a while. That is everyone except for Eren. He's been a little quiet ever since you got there, examining you as if he was trying to figure something out. You figured that maybe he wasn't taking a liking to you. You were right, however, there was also another reason. 

You see, neither you or Armin clarified to your friends that you guys were discord friends. So to Connie, Eren, and Sasha, you were just regular old (y/n). The cheer captain who was dating the tyrant football captain. Not Vixen. But for some odd reason, Eren couldn't shake this feeling that you were something other than you appeared to be. He didn't necessarily think that you were Vixen but it was just something about you. 

After maybe two hours of working on the diorama, you and Ocean figured that it was a good time to stop. Now, was time for you guys to go skating in the night time streets of Chicago. And no one would've guessed what this would lead to.
