ARUANI: Against The Odds

♥Misunderstanding♥

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Armin's P. O. V

Annie closed the door on me before  i could  explain  to her, Maybe i should give her space first... I sighed and went back home where historia and eren were waiting.

So...did you explain  it to her?  Eren asked me.  No... I couldn't explain because she shut the door on me i sadly told him.

Eren got up the couch and hugged  me,  maybe she just needs to take a breather...try talking to her tomorrow.

Okay... I still felt down, a lot happened in just one day....

Eren then offers to play games with me in an attempt to cheer me up i agree to play with him but my mind was still on annie,  Come to think of it... Why did she ran off?  Unless... I could feel heat rush to my face, no.. Could she actually like me...?  Or am i assuming to much...  But that's the only  reason that makes.. Sense.  I really have to talk to her.

*the next day-Monday*

Annie's P. O. V

It's  now monday morning  and i knew armin would try to talk with me... The thing is i realized i overreacted... And i feel ashamed. I don't think i could face him..

I look at the window and it looks like armin was waiting for me to ride the bus together. As much ad i wanted to.... I don't know what to say to him after what i did.

Maybe.. I'll skip the first period of class.

My phone then beeped from my desk.

-text-
Armin: Good morning Annie :)
Armin: did you eat breakfast?
Armin: I'll  wait for you.
Armin: i really need to talk to you.

Annie: don't wait for me. I'm  skipping class.

I look at the window where i saw armin longingly staring at my front door. My mind and heart were  having a battle..my over thinking mind  didn't  want to talk to armin while my heart was breaking at the sight of him.

The bus then arrived and he took one last look at my house and got on the bus.

I went to my drawer and got a newly bought box of cigars, I'm  aware this  was an unhealthy way of coping with negative emotions but..this is the only thing making me feel good atleast... Temporarily.

An hour had already passed  our 1st period was probably over... That was the only class i had with armin so i better get going  now.. My goal now is to be careful not be spotted by him.

I'm at school now and i went to class there i met  mina carolina, she was nice... She called me her friend when i lent her a pencil.

Mina offered me to sit at her table during recess, how convenient... Now i actually have an excuse to not sit at Armin's table...

I was walking to my 3rd class i cautiously looked around the hallway checking if armin was there luckily there wasn't any sign of him.

I went early for the first time in class as no one was there yet i sat on my seat and sighed in relief.

I listened to some music to kill time and i could feel my eyelids become heavy.

I wasn't  at the best of moods today...I knew annie was purposely avoiding me.. That's  why she even skipped class just for that.

I then looked at a classroom,  inside annie seemed to be.. Sleeping?

I went inside and took a seat infront of her .
She looked at peace,  i noticed the bags on her eyes  meaning she didn't  sleep well last night.  I caressed her face and traced the outline of her nose, i found myself smiling at her.
