Chapter 33: exchanging numbers

Just a funny heart-feely chapter.

" Broke her heart?"

I shifted a bit in my seat. " Well, it happened long ago, I didn't truly mean it... I just didn't know how to react." I replied to Gunther. Hanji's breath hitched at my words before saying " Wait, how exactly do you remember all of this? Also, you didn't mean to push Petra!? It wasn't on purpose!?"

I looked at her, confusion whelming up in me. Did she think I truly would do that to Petra on purpose? Now that I think about it... Did Petra also think I did it on purpose too? I'm not surprised if she did. I remember after that day I never wanted to see her face again. I was hurt, anxious, confused and most of all sad.

Gunther laid his chin on the center of his hand as if he was wondering who exactly Petra was. If I were him I would wonder the same thing too. Isabel on the other hand was silent ( for once ) and didn't utter a word. Though she looked intrigued by the current scene.

" No!" I told Hanji. I rubbed my forehead and sighed. " Why would I shove her on purpose? She was my best friend! I-I was just confused, I didn't understand..." I muttered.

Hanji's eyes slightly dilated at my answer before her dark tawny irises began to soften. " So Petra was wrong..." She whispered. " What about my other question! How exactly did you remember this! Does this mean that your memory is coming back so you can finally remember the incident!" She chanted, leaning over the table towards me.

Overwhelmed by her reaction, I backed up slightly as she began drawing closer to me. " W-well... It's kind of a long story but to cut short I'll say that I stupidly hit my head because I slipped and fell into a pile of leaves. I have a feeling because of the hard blow to my head, the impact went to a specific part of my brain. My frontal lobe, which is where the Hippocampus is. The impact might have done something there to cause me to remember something. But the doctor said it was a temporary memory loss meaning I'll regain memory slowly. Maybe because I got hit in the head, I'll probably regain my memory faster. I hope." I said all in one breath, leaving me panting after all that speaking.

Hanji blinked at me. " Wow, talk about a science dweeb," she said.

" Shut up, all I did was research, because I had the same question as you," I said with an eye roll.

" But." I began, catching Hanji's attention again. " I can't believe you thought that I would purposely shove her..."

Hanji blinked at me before laughing again but slightly harder. The brunette was laughing so hard that she had to muffle her giggles with her hand so teachers or tables nearby doesn't hear. I, on the other hand, was confused as to why she was laughing.

Finally, after a few laughs, the brunette calmed down. " That's because Petra told me that you did it on purpose, you dumbass. Levi baby, why would you think I personally thought you did it on purpose! I had a feeling it wasn't on purpose but the way Petra described it... It almost got to me ya know."

I cringed at the name she gave me. " Levi baby??? I'd rather you call me shortcake like you usually do." I said.

" Okay shortcake." she giggled

I rolled my eyes. I wasn't surprised that Petra told her that I did it purposely. From what I remember those two were super close. I'm pretty sure they told each other their deepest secrets.

" Wait so basically you pushed a girl named Petra and she thought you did it on purpose? Is that all you guys are riled up about?" Isabel asked.
