ArminxReader - My Best Friend

Chapter 6

Regular POV:

Think back to yesterday...

"Come on (Y/N) let's get moving!!" You heard the gym teacher yell from the other side of the field. She blew her whistle for a penalty at the other team at the opposite end, and trudged along the grass towards the other players.

You had ceased your running for moment in the middle of a soccer game, and leaned your hands on your knees for support as you rested. You panted in and out, still hearing the gym teacher yell at the slackers, and wondering why you couldn't just stop for a second.

"Bitch..." You mumbled to yourself in between breaths.

You looked around at your team, and saw that they were doing perfectly fine without you being there, all you had been doing was running along side them, as no one was even passing you the ball. 'Pointless' was the word that came to mind.

Just aimlessly running back and forth was stupid, this isn't track. If you were never to get the ball, why would you even try to chase after it? You leaned your head down facing the grass, and let your hair fall over your head as you did with a moan of exhaustion.

It was a nice day, the first day of school, first dreaded day of gym class. The sun was out, the grass was green, and there wasn't a cloud in the blue sky. Unfortunately, that had made it hotter outside for gym, and you felt like you just couldn't handle the heat.

"Huhhh... Shit." You mumbled. "I hate gym."

You stood up from your knees, and with one swift movement smoothed your hair from your face to see. You sighed heavily, and looked out towards the chain link fence beyond the goal. Everyone was still playing around you, kicking the ball, partially shoving each other, it was a mess.

Everyone was sweating in the sun, running at full pace on the grass, and giving it their all. You didn't know why, it wasn't a competition, and you wished everyone would just relax some more. You gladly liked standing, and panting leaning on your knees, you just wanted to lay down on the grass and never get up.

"Lets go lets go lets go!!!" You heard the gym teacher yell from afar on the other side.

"Fine." You said to yourself.

Just as you were about to get moving again, you saw someone walking by the boundaries of the soccer field on the sidewalk. There was someone just shuffling slowly in the shade of the trees, behind the chain link fence that lined the grass. You don't know why you took such an interest in him, but you did. You looked forwards as much as you could, and put your hands on your hips. You squinted your eyes slightly to see who it was, arching your head forward just a bit.

It was a boy, looked like he went to this school by the age. He had a head of shaggy blond hair, pale skin, and was walking with a backpack sitting on his shoulder. "I'd give anything to be skipping like that guy right now." You thought. Once he turned his head more towards you, you began to see something very familiar about him. You used your hand to cover your eyes from the sun, and you saw his face."Wait?" You quietly said to yourself.

Then you realised, he kind of looked like Armin.

You looked closer with a curious, confused expression, and walked a bit further towards the fence, though you were so far away.  Then you saw him. His face that looked just like your old, long gone best friend. Your eyes Instantly grew wide, and you stopped in your tracks on the grass, and exclaimed to yourself loudly. "What?!!"

With a sudden thump, a soccer ball hit you with full force on the side of your head. The ball bounced off you nearly 10 feet across, and you fell to the ground with a surprised yelp. You hit the grass hard, immediately feeling the burst of stinging pain by your ear.
