" How was last night?" Sasha asked Jodie curiously. Last night was majestic, so amazing that Jodie forgot numerous of times that she was talking with Eren Jaeger. She felt like she was working with someone she's known for a while—working with a friend, and Jodie isn't sure if she wants to classify Eren as that fully. He was the it boy of the school—sadly, and her being acquainted with him in the slightest is mainly the reason she's in the mess. Jodie isn't sure what would happen if she became close friends with Jaeger.

Jodie settled on; " It was really good," for a response.

Sasha nodded in delight. " Do you think he liked your outfit?"

Jodie can hear and feel all the tease and schoolgirl energy in Sasha's question, and she felt her ears begin to burn.

" Don't tell me you did all of that outfit planning only for Eren." Jodie scoffed.

Sasha stuck out her tongue, " And don't act surprised that I did.”

Jodie rolled her eyes at Sasha's child like antics, and easily maneuvered around the question by pulling out her phone. Thankfully, Sasha didn't push father. Jodie did not want to answer a question like that. The thought alone made her stomach feel weird.

" Bro when is Connie coming?" She groaned seeing the time. " And you know it was his ass that told us to wait in this library for him, now look."

" I don't know," Sasha said with a furrow in her brows. " I messaged him ten minutes ago to remind him to bring lunch money...he didn't respond."

Jodie felt her own eyebrows drawing in together. No way Connie didn't respond back on his phone at this time of day. He was the most active on his social medias before noon. It was his time to check his new feed.

Even with all the recent drama, Connie would know to answer a message from Sasha and Jodie—like he's been doing.

It's not like he's a busy guy either. Lazy Connie only worked out on the weekends. He was free during the week.

" Think I should call him?" Jodie asked. Glancing up at Sasha.

Sasha seemed to be thinking for a moment. She looked worried, and Jodie watched as the worry simmered down for a short moment.

" Leave him." Sasha waved off. " We'll just page him when he gets here."

Jodie smiled at Sasha's loose energy this morning. She was in a good mood and it wasn't anywhere near lunch time.

She found her smile stretching wider at Sasha's. " You're in a real good—"

The library door opened before Jodie could even finish her sentence. The two girls snapped their head at the sound of the metal lever being pushed on, and the thick metal sound the door makes as it closes.

It was someone wearing a black hoodie and brown cargo pants. Obviously with the build of a man.

The two girls took a step back. Immediately thinking the worst as the figure moved with long strides in their direction.

Jodie's hands unconsciously found Sasha's own as her flight instincts to leave settled in quickly.

But when Jodie saw the familiar keys on their pants side, she felt the fear subside completely. Irritation now in her gut.

" Connie why the hell are you wearing a hood?" Jodie snapped at his nearing figure.

She was much more vulgar since the librarian lady was picking up books, and trusted that the two girls behaved in her library before school fully started.

Sasha took a step forward at the realization that it was Connie. " Connie we were texting you! How are you the one that ended up being la—"

The moment his hood came off—the sight was horrid.

Connie looked like just been in a street scuffle on his way to school.

His face was bruised, his lip was swollen, his eyebrows that always looked tamed were split, and the blood on his face looked fresh.

He had been in a fight.

" Connie!" Sasha screeched as she hurriedly approached him.

Jodie could not phantom what she was seeing. But with the sight of Sasha cupping their best friends face gently, she managed to drag her feet to them.

"Connie..." Jodie trailed off. Unconsciously breathing through her mouth.

Jodie felt out of breath, and she knew it was not the small distance she made to get to Connie and Sasha. Her heart was beating intensely, she felt it in her stomach—and it felt like it was being ripped out of her chest. Her lungs were tightening, and Jodie couldn't help how she was gasping for air.

" What happened Connie!?" Sasha practically yelled with worry and anger in her tone. Not anger towards Connie.

Jodie shook her head as her eyes absorbed Connie's appearance. " Who did this to you?...."

Connie's face looked tense. His jaw was clenched tightly, his breathing was deep and intense, his eyes were shining with anger, and his hands were locked into tight fists.

" Nah don't fucking worry about that." He sneered. Pulling his body away from Sasha.

Jodie's eyes flashed. " What do you mean don't fuckin' worry!"

" Don't fucking worry about it!" Connie said as he shook his head. " I'm good. I got it handled."

Sasha seemed shocked at Connie's answer.

" This is your definition of being good? Yeah no. What the hell happened!"

Jodie bit her lip in worry as Connie bounced his foot and moved his neck around.

" Who did this to you Connie? Was it Historia's doing? You literally never get into fights!"

Connie shook his head at Jodie's questions, leaving the two girls to stand in the dark as they watched his temper rise with every passing second.

Jodie's eyes drifted over to Sasha—who had her mouth ajar as she took in Connie's battered appearance. She, like Jodie, was absolutely shocked by this whole situation and Connie's anger.

" She's mad that I beat up her fucking toy! That Jason kid!" Connie sneered.

" You what!?" Jodie asked with widened eyes.

Connie's eyes shifted onto her almost like he was offended by her tone. " What? You think imma let her just bitch me out like that? Hell fucking no Jod. I won't allow that. Fuck no."

Connie Springer didn't often get mad. When he did, he covered his anger with awkward laughs, and retorted to teasing the people responsible for his tenseness. He was a chill guy who didn't loose his calm, and remained unbothered even when he was. Of course Jodie has seen Connie get mad. But it was over mediocre stuff that was usually solved quickly.

Like the time Connie's friend betrayed his trust back in middle school. They didn't talk for months, and actually got into a fight that Jodie didn't have the mental power to separate or fix.

But that was that. Connie never got mad after that. It was a rare sight on him.

" She sent her little friends on me! And those fucking pussies jumped me!" Each word that came out of Connie's mouth shook Jodie to the core.

Jodie eyes wandered over every wound on Connie. " All because you fought with Jason?..."

" Yeah!" Connie confirmed, his hands meeting his sides. " —And wasn't like I started that shit! The dude didn't shut his mouth about me when I told him to!"

" That doesn't give her the right to do this!"

Sasha's face twisted in pure anger. " Let's tell the principal! Punish the people who did this to Connie!"

" Don't fucking tell the principal."

Jodie reclined at Connie's hostility at Sasha.

" Why not!"

Connie almost seemed offended at the question Jodie asked. He was mad. So mad. " The same fucking reason you haven't reported your bullying, why teachers haven't said shit and act oblivious, and why others haven't reported their own! Because no one in this school gives a fuck? Nobody!"

" No because they can't jump you and not have shit done about it!" Jodie retorted with her own fist clenching. " If I have to fight Histoira I will. Because the bitch can't think she could do this shit and walk around fucking untouched."

Connie inhaled a deep breath. Almost like he was trying to get himself to calm down from the anger he was feeling.

" So what are you gonna do about it?"

His tone was calm and level. Compared to the wild and vulgar tone he had in his words minutes ago. He stared at Jodie expectantly, his eyes settled on her sneer that was growing across her face every second.

" We have to do something!" Sasha pitched in. Her eyes falling on Jodie. She gestured at Connie's face as she said her next words.

" We can't just sit back and let stuff like this happen!"

Jodie felt her gut twisting in her stomach. Anger pumping through her veins as she spoke.

" We can't. I won't allow it."

—————————————————————

" We need to talk." Jodie said as she stared into Eren's eyes with so much furry burning in her own. Jodie had not shown up for English class, something she's sure she's never did this semester. The school would be calling her mother for her absence in class, but with her high grade in English—her mom won't be too concerned with the absence. She had spent her time with Connie and Sasha at her house. Sasha was treating Connie's wounds, and Jodie had ordered them lunch for the day because they would not be showing up for school. But unlike Jodie, Sasha got the green light from her parents to not show.

Eren hasn't looked at Jodie yet, too inverse with his locker. " Look who finally showed up. Not cool to leave the project to me hypocrite—"

Jodie L/N was not happy.

Eren clamped his mouth shut.

" Yeah. I'm not in the fucking mood Jaeger." She said with a nod. " What the fuck is wrong with Historia."

Eren inhaled a shaky breath at the question that was more like a statement. Even after the night he had with Jodie, of course the next day something had to happen to ruin her mood.

Eren closed his locker. " I told you it was really bad what she said. You said it was nothing too different—"

" I'm not talking about that."

Eren's brows furrowed as he looked down at Jodie. " Then what else are you talking about? What did she do?"

Jodie scoffed. A light laugh falling from her mouth. " What has she not done Eren? Really. And I'm starting to think it's because no one has put this bitch Historia in her fucking place."

Eren's eyes widened on cue with the girl a couple lockers down from him.

Jodie was being too loud.

A gasp sounded from the girl at the locker. Now staring at Eren and Jodie with a hand hovering over her mouth.

She approached them slowly, books hugged to her chest as her eyes narrowed in on Jodie.

Jodie who was completely unmoving, and who had rage in her eyes as fresh as ever.

" You're Jodie L/N right?" She asked with her face in a snarl.

Jodie's eyes remained staring into Eren's, it was so obvious that she was ignoring the girl. But Eren could tell that it wasn't working in her favour, because he could see the way Jodie's eye twitched.

He girl stopped beside Eren. " You just wait till I tell Historia what you just said about her. It will be the fucking end of—"

" Shut the fuck up."

The girl reclined back in shock. " Excuse me—"

" Do you want to get slapped?" Jodie asked with her hand unconsciously raising.

The look of surprise on the girls face mirrored Eren's. She immediately sensed the truth in Jodie's words that were surely a threat, and she did not wish to witness her hand raise any higher.

" No," she quickly answered with a wobbly lip.

Jodie nodded her head approvingly at the girl. " Okay then. So shut the fuck up and walk your ass that way."

The girl was gone in a second.

Eren blinked rapidly as the girl ran down the halls with tears in her eyes. " Okay Jodie you need to calm down right now."

" Calm down?" Jodie repeated bewildered.

" Yes because you're not making this any better for yourself!"

" This bitch sent people to jump Connie." Jodie sneered as she leaned closer to Eren. " I'm not doing this shit for myself. I'm tiered of Historia Reiss getting away with anything she wants. It's fucking ridiculous."

" She sent people to jump Connie?..." Eren repeated with widened eyes.

" Yes she did. On his way here he was jumped by some fucking guys, and they said it was for Historia. She sent them." Each word that tumbled out of Jodie's mouth made Eren's stomach twist.

" Shit." He cursed with cloudy eyes. " Well where is Connie now?"

Jodie breathed out a shaky breath. " He's at my place with Sasha. She's treating his wounds. I missed English period, and was present for most of Science."

" Okay," Eren started. " Then where's Historia?"

Jodie's brows furrowed at the question.

" I don't know. Weren't you the one in English class?"

" She's wasn't there. I haven't seen her at all."

Jodie inhaled a deep breath, glancing around with absent eyes. The school halls of Paradis High were dead, and as Jodie looked at them—she could feel her own emotions spilling onto the way she viewed the halls. They were more depressing as each day passed. But maybe Jodie was only thinking that way ever since she started getting slandered. Not bullied. Slandered.

" I wanna beat her ass so bad." She found herself saying out loud.

Eren let out a stiff laugh. " Yeah you're not the first person to say that. Hopefully you'll be the first person to do it."

" You think I can beat Historia?" Jodie asked Eren almost humourlessly. " I won't be able to lay a finger on her without her little goons sneaking in. I'm not tryna get jumped."

" Who said you have to do it at school?"

Jodie blinked. " You're kidding right?"

" Yes."

Jodie unfroze herself with annoyance not present on her face. But, Eren could see the smile she was desperately trying to hide behind her anger. Jodie obviously didn't have intentions of being happy today, and Eren Jaeger was making it difficult to fulfill.

" But I do dig the idea of you fighting Historia." Eren said with a laugh. " Not just for you but everyone else she did dirty. I'll be cheering you on."

" Yeah okay,"

" I will! Truly! Because she deserves a nice good ass whopping. I can even teach you some fighting skills to support you. You just have to locate the target first."

" You're a fucking weirdo."

" What? How? Why are you laughing I'm literally being dead serious. You're more then capable of beating her ass Jodie."

" I know. I said okay."

" Good. Historia always has her location on cause of Snap by the way."

" You're des. Stop talking."

——————————————————————

" What is wrong with you?" Mikasa Ackerman asked Eren with furrowed brows. Jodie went home shortly after her conversation with Eren. Deciding that she would take the risk and just tell her mother some lame excuse that she was sure would work—since she did have above average grades. But now Eren sat with Mikasa at the lunch table, who had oddly refused—like him—to go out and grab lunch. Making Armin go alone, ( but Eren was sure he had the company of Annie Leonheart).

" Literally nothings wrong with me." Eren said as he blinked.

He was literally scrolling on TikTok, liking funny videos, and occasionally snickering at some. Then there Mikasa goes with that dreadful question.

" Yes there is." She argued, her brows knitting.

" Not exactly now, but there is something that's been bothering you. What is it?"

Eren let out a loud exhale. Mikasa got it. She understood so easily, Eren really didn't see the point in lying to her anymore. He might as well just say it.

" You know Jodie L/N right?"

Mikasa tilted her head. " The girl that's under fire and that I always see you with?"

Eren grimaced, but nodded his head anyways.

" Yeah...brown skin, dark hair, brown eyes, wears true religion still—"

" I know who you're talking about Eren."Mikasa sighed as Eren pursed his lips.

" I know what she looks like. Now what about her has you stalking her page and worrying?"

" I don't stalk her pa—"

" You literally do."

" Whatever because that's not the point. The point is all about Historia. You've seen the things she's been posting about Jodie right?"

Mikasa nodded her head slowly. " Yeah. I saw what she posted last night. It wasn't cool."

Eren nodded frantically. " Exactly! Then today—this morning, she sent people to jump Connie Springer—Jodies best friend."

" Eren?" Mikasa called. " What does this have to do with you?"

" Everything." Eren's answer was immediate.

" I've learned my lesson. Sitting back and watching isn't good, especially because this situation kinda started from me. But now Mikasa, Historia has taken this to another level. I feel like I have to talk to her. What she's saying about Jodie isn't good at all."

Mikasa stared at Eren for a moment. It was the same stare she had every time she was reading him, or searching for signs that he was lying.

" And you don't feel this way because you've developed personal feelings?" Eren's eyes widened at Mikasa's question.

" —Because Carla told me that you had Jodie over for dinner last night."

" It was to do our English project." Eren quickly denied.

" But you never invite people over to the house, talk-less of having dinner. Jodie is a first. So are you sure you're not doing this because of the fact that you've developed feelings for her?"

Eren tilted his head, gazing down at the table with a bland look. " I honestly don't know Mikasa..."

Mikasa placed a gentle hand over Eren's.

" Whats stopping you Eren?"

Her tone was as gentle as her touch, and Eren could not help but think that his sister has perfected the touch of his mother. Mikasa wasn't demanding to know like Eren likes to tell himself, but she was gently encouraging him to admit what she already knew.

" I like her attitude," Eren mumbled. " And I like her smile, the way she defended herself, how she defends her friends, she's nice when you get to know her Mikasa. I can guarantee you—Jodie doesn't deserve this."

Mikasa stared at Eren, " So you're accepting that it's deep emotions?"

Eren sighed. " I mean...yeah I guess...."

Eren could feel Mikasa's eyes on him still, but he said nothing. Allowing her to read and analyze whatever she could on him.

Allowing her to drink in his vulnerability.

" She sounds similar to you," Mikasa finally said, leaning back.

Eren looked up at her, his brow raised in questioning. " What? How?"

Mikasa looked at Eren with slight disbelief.

" Caring about her friends, defending them—that's all you Eren."

" And that's how you act too. And Armin, and—"

" No." Mikasa shook her head. " You're doing it right now. But the thing is, you're still grasping the fact that you don't see Jodie as a simple friend anymore. Even so, you still want to protect her—meaning you care for her. Right?"

" Right."

Mikasa smiled at Eren's quick answer. " Right. So let's help her."

——————————————————————

" I need to slap Historia." Jodie mumbled as she paced between Connie and Sasha. School should be almost over by now, but because the three students decided to stay home, Jodie quickly found herself standing before Connie and Sasha with clenched fish. She felt jumpy, changed into grey sweat pants, a grey zip up sweater, with nothing but a white Calvin Klein bra under—Jodie sure did not feel like the victim she's been pitifully named as.

" Like I seriously want to chock slam her!"

Connie stared at Jodie and scoffed. " What's stopping you exactly? I say we pull up to her house."

Sasha's eyed widened, absolutely baffled with the conversation. " Guys lets think like civilized people here!"

Jodie practically laughed. " Sasha sweetie, Historia Reiss is the most uncivilized person I've ever met. She has the devil in her."

Connie nodded his head, " Absolutely."

" But that doesn't mean we trespass!" Sasha said with a shake of her head. " Did you guys forget that she's a rich white girl who was born in Miami? And her dad? People think!"

Jodie rolled her eyes at the fact. " Yeah well fuck her and her daddy."

" That's reasonable."

" I don't care about her and her dad and mom." Connie started with a dull tone. " She goes around ruining peoples lives and teenage years without any consequences. No girl has ever stood up to her before, and honestly—I don't blame them. So we need to do something."

Jodie nodded along with Connie's words.

He sounded glum but you could still hear the anger in his words, as well as the disappointment.

Finally taking a seat beside her friends, Jodie allowed herself to plop into the comforts of the couch.

" I was talking to Eren today before I left about this—since...because—he and Historia used to date right?" Jodie raised a brow to practically ask the two if she had told them all the recent information she's learned.

When both Connie and Sasha nodded their head, she continued. " Right. I was speaking to him, and he said that we should speak with Historia. Him and me. Or me. Like confront her. But deadass, I'm serious about having to slap her at some point."

Connie leaned back into the couch slowly.

" Give her a dutty one."

Sasha shook her head, but didn't say anything. She probably was silently agreeing.

After all, Sasha also has had her fair share of Historia's display of blatant bullying and social power.

" Yeah, yeah," Jodie nodded to Connie's previous words.

" No because you saw what she said about you last night right?" Connie pestered as he stared at Jodie. " That was the highest disrespect."

Jodie raised a brow when she saw how Sasha quickly nodded along with Connie's words.

She had not seen the post directly. Jodie has not read whatever nonsense Historia had posted about her on Instagram. Eren's reaction to the post was equally bad, about a similar look of shock and disbelief as he read it.

At the time, Jodie swore she didn't care to know. She wasn't thinking about Historia, and she assumed that her words couldn't get any worst.

" I didn't see it myself," Jodie started.

Connie shook his head. " Psh—well you need to see it asap because—"

" But when I was at Eren's house yesterday, he was the first to tell me that she posted about me." Jodie said with a casual shrug. " I just didn't care to know what exactly she said."

" Wait," Connie started with a hand out as he stood up. " You were at Eren's house yesterday? Since when was this?"

Jodie glanced at Sasha, almost like she was asking the girl if she had told Connie. When she shook her head slowly, Connie—who witnessed the interaction, only began speaking before Jodie could say anything.

" So what? You and Jaeger of the football team are dating now?" Connie stared at Jodie with a flat expression. " He's literally the reason this all started. Talking to him is one thing, but going to his house—that's another."

Jodie groaned frustratedly, " No we're not Connie. And he's not the reason."

Connie raised an eyebrow. " He's not? So you're defending him? You're telling me that he's not the main reason why Historia is beefing with you?"

" I thought you were cool with Eren?" Jodie started. " So why are you acting like Historia's crazy obsession with him is his fault?"

Connie practically leaned in with shock on his face." Because we all know interacting with him will only add gallons of fuel to our fire! The fire which we all have, and are desperately trying to put out!"

" Which is why we have to talk to Historia!" Sasha interfered.

Jodie huffed. " Talk to her? No we need to call her out. Having Eren with us will add to the chance of the whole school not jumping us. Unless we manage to do it in private, we might not need him."

" So what," Connie started. " Is that our plan?"

Sasha nodded her head slowly. " For now it is..."

——————————————————————

" You could've called me you know." Jodie said as she entered Eren's car. Sasha and Connie have gone home, Jodie surprisingly did not get scolded by her mom for skipping majority of her classes. It was because she was a good student with high grades, and Jodie has already completed most of her school work from the day. Everything but the English partner project of course. Despite not getting scolded, Jodie could tell that her mother still wasn't content with the news of Jodie signing herself out of school. It was obviously something she wouldn't try often.

" It would be very bad if I used my phone while controlling a vehicle." Eren said as he stared at Jodie.

" So you couldn't text or call me before you left your house?"

" Well you still got in the car without knowing why so...."

Jodie scoffed, " Whatever." She turned in her seat as Eren took the car out of park mode.

" So why did you come? If it's the English project I was just about to get right on that."

Jodie could see how Eren's brow shot up as he began to drive. " Not quite the reason, but thanks for the excuse. I actually just wanted to chill with you at my place, and....do the project I guess."

Jodie raised a brow at him. " Right. Does your mom know I'm coming?"

Eren kept his eyes on the road as he shook his head. " She's out with a few friends of hers. My sister is home though."

" You have a sister?"

" Adopted. Mikasa Ackerman."

Jodie could not help the way her face twisted in surprise. She knew who Mikasa Ackerman was. She was a quiet girl in school who was very well known. She was also very good with volleyball since the first year. You would think she would be placed as the captain with her skill, but she was rumored to have pretty bad social and leadership skills.

Besides that, Jodie has never actually had a conversation with the raven haired girl.

" I didn't know she lives with you? I thought she lived with Mr. Ackerman? Levi Ackerman."

Eren shrugged, finally sparring Jodie a glance. " She stays with him most days to be honest. But since she's legally sighed to be my mother and fathers daughter— she also lives with us."

" I'm guessing I'm the only one who doesn't know this?"

" Yeah." Eren laughed heartily. " But at least you didn't find out from gossip."

The car fell into a comfortable silence after those words. The new information was resting in Jodie's mind as they drove to Eren's house. Jodie leaned against the window as she watched each car pass by, her phone clutched in her hand as she relaxed her mind. Falling asleep didn't seem like a bad idea—

Grumble

" We can order food when we get to my place." Eren said awkwardly as hunger settled in his stomach.

" Yeah I bet you would want that." Her words came out with a teasing snicker. " I ate lunch with Sasha and Connie. I'm good for now."

Eren perked up at the mention of her two friends. " Speaking of them, how are they doing? You know, the whole Historia and jumping thing."

Jodie let out a sigh that told Eren a thousand words. It was like she was telling him to buckle up.

" We made some type of—-plan.... I guess."

Eren raised a brow. " A plan? For what?"

" A plan to confront Historia. Actually. Like we talked about." Jodie could tell by Eren's face that he was surprised. " Either privately at her house, or publicly at school. But we want you to be involved. Somehow."

Silence. The car was absolutely silent. Jodie took that for the worse.

" Look I know it's controversial and all, but Historia needs to be dealt with. What she did—I'm not gonna let that slide Eren. We talked about this. Also, think of it—this whole thing started because people were technically defending your favorite sport—Football. Right? And I happened to speak up against everyone who was naively defending you even though you didn't ask. If you told Historia to stop, or even made it known that she was overreacting—don't you'll think it'll get people to chill?! Make her chill? Make people realize that she's being dumb?"

Eren blinked as he stopped at the red light. Running his fingers through his hair as he let Jodie's words settle in.

She had a point—she always did. Like in class when she made that point, the point which caused most of this chaos. He understands what she was talking about and getting at.

Jodie's eyes were on him, almost like she was waiting for a response, or sucking the response out of him by analyzing his features.

" I talked to Mikasa about this." Eren started with his eyes forward. " She told me she would help me talk to Historia, privately."

" No." Jodie quickly interfered. " Then we'll be dragging Mikasa into this mess. And then from there Armin—"

Eren shook his head. " She drags herself in my business all the time. It's the type of sister and friend she is."

Jodie stared at him as the car began moving again. Her mind was racing with different thoughts as she tried to understand Eren's reasoning. " Why would you want to talk to her privately?"

" I feel like I need too." Eren started with his brows furrowed at the road. " I feel like it's my responsibility like you said. Historia needs to hear something from me that she hasn't understood yet."

" Hear something she hasn't heard yet? What?" Jodie repeated with confusion.

Eren nodded his head. " Yeah. That's right, and I rather save her the embarrassment of saying it in front of the whole school."

Jodie was unaware of Eren's conflicted thoughts for the rest of the drive.

——————————————————————

" You must be Jodie." Mikasa Ackerman said as she opened the door. Jodie wasn't sure why she didn't just wait for Eren instead of ringing the doorbell. When they arrived, Eren had opened her side of the door—once again, and had told Jodie to wait for him at the door. Considering that he most likely had the house key to his home. Jodie had unconsciously ignored his words, and found herself ringing the doorbell. A habit she had, something she unconsciously did since Eren wasn't beside her, and she was in front of a foreign house. Well, what she considers foreign. She was a guest for the most part.

And now she's facing Mikasa Ackerman.

" Yeah," Jodie started with a awkward smile.

" I'm Jodie L/N. You must be Mikasa? It's very nice to meet you."

Mikasa smiled at Jodie's outstretched hand.

" Right back at you too. I'm Mikasa Ackerman, Eren's sister."

" I thought I told you to wait for me!" Eren said as he approached the front door.

Jodie shrugged, peeling her eyes off of Mikasa with a small smile. " If you're worried about introductions, I think I got that in the bag."

" Yeah," Mikasa responded with her own smile.

" Yeah you do."

Eren blinked at the interaction. " Well then....can we come in?"

Mikasa could only rolled her eyes in response. Widening the door to welcome the two.

As soon as Jodie stepped in, she found herself once again glancing over at the decoration and set up of the Jaeger house. The beauty did not fail to steal her attention, even though it was her second time being in this space. Her eyes wandered over the walls, and the hallway up ahead as she removed her shoes. Following Eren to place them away to the side of the mat.

" This isn't your first time." Eren commented seeing her gaze.

" It's not." Jodie answered, sparing him a small glance. " It's my second time, which is equal to first."

" Yeah whatever. Let's go to the living room, follow me."

Jodie slowly walked with her toes curled against the cold marble floor. If she was correct, this was the direction Mikasa had also walked away to. The sight of some wall art and decor brought back small fragments of memory to Jodie from days ago. Each step into the mansion practically reminded her that the Jaeger's were rich.

Too rich for her presence. Considering that the most expensive things she had to rival was pairs of pricy jeans and sneakers.

" What am I really here for Eren?" Jodie asked as she walked into the living room.

Eren raised a brow, " What do you mean? We're gonna do our project, you know—talk, small stuff."

" Okay," Jodie said as she tilted her head, " But about what though?"

" About Historia."

Jodie almost jumped as Mikasa walked out of the kitchen and into the living room space.

The girl had a more serious face on, much different from when she opened the door for Jodie at least. Jodie could see the way her eyes were connected with Eren's as she moved to take a seat. She had tree snack size bags of chips in her hand that she set on the centre table in front of Jodie.

" We're gonna talk about Historia and her bullying, and what we're going to do to stop her nonsense."

It was straightforward, but Jodie was not understanding.

" This is a matter that just concerns me and my friends, and it happened to start over Eren I guess you could say. Trust me Mikasa there's no need for you to get caught in the crossfire—"

" You're friends aren't the only one." Mikasa cut Jodie off. " In fact, you're not the only one right now. She just happens to be putting most of her attention into you."

Eren glanced at the two girls in the room, before nodding nodding his head. " Yeah...Historia is bullying more people than you think she is Jodie. That's how it's been for a while. This girl named Anna spilled milk on Historia one time, and she put all of her attention onto the girl. Like she's doing you."

" Look," Jodie started with a hand out to both Eren and Mikasa. " I'm not going to let Historia punk me out. She's not bullying me...if that's what you're thinking. I'm worried about my friends, and getting back at her. For whoever she bullied that didn't stand up against her especially."

Eren huffed, eyes darting around the living room as if he was trying to search around in his mind.

The three of them just stood there, both Eren and Mikasa letting Jodie's words hang around them.

Mikasa narrowed her eyes at Jodie as she saw her lip twitch into a smirk. " What?..." she asked cluelessly. " This is a big deal. This is no laughing matter Jodie."

Jodie shook her head as her smirk only grew.

" I know," she started with a light laugh.

" But me and my friends...Sasha and Connie—were talking about slapping Historia, coming up to her house, fighting her. You know, giving her some words and a good ass whooping. This chat is much different then what I was chatting about before."

" The ass whooping isn't a bad idea Mikasa." Eren said with a shrug to his sister.

Mikasa glanced at them, her grey eyes narrowed and eyeing Jodie and Eren individually. " You can't fight Historia. Her parents are rich—her dad actually. He'll find a way to make her look like the sweet girl that didn't deserve it. He'll tell that to the staff and the board—Therefore, making us get in trouble."

Jodie rolled her eyes at the thought alone.

" I'll beat her ass. Not us." She emphasized.

Mikasa gave her a faint smile, still shaking her head disapprovingly. " Yeah I know but still. We want the school to either stay out of it or be on our side.

" Yeah that's true," Eren nodded thoughtfully.

" But I really dig that idea of slapping her then. She needs to get a physical punishment!"

Jodie laughed at the look Mikasa have Eren.

" Before we talk physical," Mikasa continued with a eye on Eren. " Why don't we talk verbal. Eren, you should talk to Historia—"

" See Jodie—"

" —and not alone."

" See Eren."

" It's the most common thing in bullying movies when the bully gets confronted by one person who tends to have power by alone. Historia will probably agree with you, kiss your ass, and then get mad and plot something slick once Eren's out of her face." Mikasa said with a huff, picking up a lays chip bag.

" And also, they get mad and blame whatever the person said on their victims." Jodie added as she leaned to grab the cheetoes. " It's goes into one ear and out the other. Not tryna have that with my friends."

Mikasa nodded her head firmly in agreement to Jodie's words, eating a chip from her bag.

" Exactly. So Eren, you're going to speak to Historia with Jodie and her friends. But maybe before this, Jodie, you should speak with Historia one on one."

Jodie raised a brow as she crunched down on the chip. " And say what to her?"

" Intimidation." Eren quickly answered.

" And it will work because you can see where she's at. Maybe she's still nit picking at you because you haven't responded yet. If you confront her and show her up, she might just stop."

" That could work." Mikasa said with a small shrug. " But once again, I doubt it will be that easy. Hitch and Ymir are always with her. Especially Ymir."

Jodie unconsciously rose her hand to her hair, itching the back of her head as if she was confused. " So I basically have to make sure I don't get tag teamed?"

" Yeah," Mikasa answered in conclusion.

" It might not be easy, but if it doesn't work we have other options."

—————————————————————

" So what now?" Ymir asked the Reiss girl.

Sitting in her room was Historia, Hitch, and Ymir—all the girls having their phones out as they discussed. It's been days since Historia posted her blow about Jodie, and the story had died down after 24 hours. Though, majority of the school body for sure saw the post and the degrading words directed at another student, and there has yet to be any punishments.

Histoira was sure that it would remain that way.

" I mean you sent people out for that Connie friend of hers. He got dealt with." Ymir said with a smirk on her face. " Are we going to go for Jodie and Sasha? I'm sure we can take her on."

" I know self defense," Historia responded with attitude. " I know I'm good enough to take her on."

" This is boring!" Hitch dragged out as she set her phone down. " It's like we're fighting a wall. She literally isn't responding to a thing!"

Historia huffed at her friends words, throwing her head back in annoyance. " That's fine. Because I'm not done yet."

" Yeah but... eventually the drama won't be entertaining."

The room was silent following Hitch's words, though it was not because nobody was pondering on what she said—but more so the question she made.

Why won't Jodie do anything?

Is she just going to allow her friends to get picked and prodded at for something she did? She didn't seem like the type to allow that, so why wasn't she retaliating?

" Why don't you just call Eren?" Hitch asked with a yawn. " I mean, isn't this all so you could get his attention?"

Historia shifted from those words. " Yeah well that's not working. It's like the complete opposite happened."

Ymir tilted her head. " He's all in for that Jodie girl..."

No one needed to say anything on top of those words. Instead, the three girls let it hang in the air with looks of disgust on their faces.

" What the hell does he see in her though?" Hitch asked with such confusion in her voice.

" It's such a downgrade from Historia to Jodie? She's literally ugly."

" She's not ugly."

" What."

Historia looked at Hitch with a raised brow, as if she was telling the girl she heard correctly.

" She's not ugly. Jodie's pretty."

The words felt weird coming out of Historia's mouth, and it created a nasty feeling in her stomach. The only thing she could do in the presence of other people was act like the words didn't hurt.

" Yeah okay," Ymir shrugged off nonchalantly.

" She's pretty but not prettier than you."

" Prettier than us." Hitch added with a giggle.

Historia resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and instead shook her head with a small smirk.

" She's a scary trick. Cant even respond to me when I'm literally publicly bashing her."

That was a lie and Histoira knew it. She knew that Jodie didn't even view her post about her with her own account. Though there's no denying that she was aware of the comment, and she was sure that her friends saw it.

But Historia didn't have time to scroll through thousands of story views.

" We'll definitely figure something out." She concluded. " This can't drag on for much longer."

—————————————————————

" How did you get her number?" Jodie asked Connie in shock. Jodie was more than aware that Connie had hatred burning inside of him for Histoira. She was also aware that because he was a guy, he could not hit her or act on his anger. Connie didn't hit women, considering he had a little sister and a mother. All he could do was channel his emotions into his own attackers, or do what he knows is best—amp up Jodie.

" I did a lot of snooping and digging." He snickered on the other line. " You must be crazy if you think imma let that girl get away with the shit she pulled. I might not be able to touch her, but I'll make sure she gets touched."

" Jodie don't listen to Connie." Sasha interjected on their group call.

" No listen to Connie." The said boy interfered.

" Someone needs to whoop this white girl! And if I can't do it, you got to because I know you won't loose."

" I've chosen to be civil." Jodie started with a inhale. " And I've chosen to talk it out with Historia."

Sasha cheered and Connie groaned.

" What happened to slapping the shit out of her!?"

Jodie shook her head into the camera, a smile on her and Sasha's face at Connie's frown.

" Don't get it twisted. Let her say something slick and I'm slapping the fucking lip plump off her lips."

" That makes sense." Sasha said with her mouth full of ramen noodles. " But what made you have a change of mind?"

Jodie sighed, tilting her head to the side as she let out a chuckle. " You guys know Mikasa Ackerman?"

" Yeah who doesn't?" Connie asked sarcastically. " She's dating my friend Jean on the basketball team. Honestly makes him look good, but what about it?"

Sasha held up a finger as she swallowed her food. " Isn't she—isn't she *clears throat—"

" Fat ass."

" Shut up Connie." She snapped before continuing. " Isn't she Eren's adopted sister?"

Jodie nodded her head. " Just say you guys know her," she responded with a stank face. It seems like she was once again the only one who was clueless about the popular raven haired girl.

" Anyways, I went over to Eren's house today—again—She was there. Basically we constructed this ' plan' where I would talk to Historia, see where she's at, and from there see if I need to get disrespectful and petty."

The call was silent for a few moments as her friends stared into there phones. Jodie shook her head at them, as if she was urging for a response.

It remained silent until Connie kissed his teeth.

" So her sending some dudes to jump me isn't enough huh?"

Jodie peeled her eyes off the camera at Connie's tone. " No it is....I'm just wondering if she's willing to drop this. If she gets disrespectful in the slightest though, I'll give her a rude slap dedicated to you!"

" Yeah whatever." Connie huffed. " I'm guessing me and Sasha can use her number for something else. Since you're gonna speak to her in person?"

" You and who?" Sasha asked with her mouth full of food.

" You and me Sasha. You and me." Connie repeated just as close to the camera.

" So I'll confront Historia tomorrow. If she shows up." Jodie said, turning the conversation back to serious.

" Right. And don't come off as rude first!" Sasha gulped. " You actually should record your approach to her. So she doesn't...you know...blackmail you."

" She's done it all already." Jodie shrugged.

" Sis doesn't have anything to blackmail me with. I'm never on the Internet like that."

" That's what we all say now." Connie mumbled.

Jodie's face fell. " I'm dead serious. If she gets disrespectful, I'm slapping her. No audio editing or anything, I'll leave it in the recording."

Jodie yearned for the feeling of her palm dragging down Historia's face. She wanted to slap the girl and take in her reaction, seeing if she will retaliate or not. She wanted to bring Histoira—the witch under her facade—down that pedestal she's sat on all her life.

And Jodie swore she would do it.

" So the plan starts tomorrow?" Sasha asked.

Connie shook his head. " Don't make it sound like we are the fans! But I guess it does."

" Let's hope she doesn't get rowdy." Jodie said, flipping her hair over her shoulder.

" No." Connie interjected. " Let's hope she does get rowdy."
