The bell rang.

Armin heard the lunch bell ring as he packed up his books. He wanted to find Eren and sit with him for lunch, but Armin knew that he wasn't popular enough for Eren. Sulking, he went to the courtyard by the oval, where the popular guys played football. Sasha walks by, nibbling on a baked potato from the cafeteria.

"Hey sweet stuff!" A voice behind Armin calls. It's Connie. Sasha turns around with a face full of sour cream. Ugh.

"Wanna go to the dance and have a little fun?" Connie asks a bit too confidently.

"Of course!" Sasha exclaims. Well to be honest, it sounded more like,

"Obbhf corgfse!"

Armin wished he had the kind if confidence like that. Maybe he'd ask Eren... No! He's straight... He would only embarrass himself. Armin wiped his eyes.

He could hear Eren's voice...

"Hey Armin! Armin?"

Armin turned around. It was Eren! "Were you crying?" Eren asks.

"What? No, I, I just got something in my eye." Armin lies.

Eren leans in, and Armin's heart just about exploded. But to Armin's disappointment, he doesn't get a kiss.

"I think it's an eyelash." Eren says calmly. He looks deep into Armin's bright blue eyes before he sits down.

"So... How was class?" Armin mutters. You see, Armin didn't know how to start a conversation with the one person who made his heart melt.

"Class? Meh. But I did get a love letter from Mikasa." Eren replies.

Mikasa. If there had to be someone to compete with, please not her.

"That wasn't her letter." Armin yells, storming off with tears in his eyes.
