(Armin xReader short story)

My name is (f/n), (f/n) (l/n). I am what they call "socially awkward". But that's only because my father signed me up for piano lessons to fill that whole in my life my mother left behind. But the girls at competitions are so competitive that they don't like me for being good at it, and bully me. I've never thought mom's passing as a tragedy, more like moving to a place far more suited for a kind heart like her. Father on the other hand, is avoiding her death by drowning himself with work. I guess what we get out of his over work is that we are wealthy. Wealthy but lonely.

It's our 2nd day into sophomore year and I've been getting weird stares from people. People walking up to me out of nowhere and asking my name. Eyes following everything I do. I hate it. It makes me very self conscious.

It was lunch period and I sat outside beside a tree alone to avoid people watching me eat, god do I hate that. I noticed a group of very loud teenagers sitting at a bench a few meters away. They were arguing about weather they should study after school or hang at a pizza joint. I was a little confused on why they would study so early but what do I know? For all I know people here could be smoking eggs with the intention of scrambling their brains. (Don't ask why, just roll with it :3) The blond stained coconut was quietly stating the importance about studying as he pushes up his glasses, as two idiotic drooling teens stuff their faces with the other people's Food and the angry looking teenager bolted out of his seat yelling at the horse face behind the blonde that is flirting with a stoic faced girl wearing a scarf in the middle of the California heat. First thought coming to mind? That there is a group I should not involve myself in. On the bench next to them is a calm group of a freckled angel, short blond angel, blond body builder (do I mean Annie or Reiner u will never kno) and a freckled mischievous looking girl. (this all your first impressions of them)
As I pulled out my lunch box the brunette that had her hair pulled into a loose ponytail started sniffing the air like a hound. When her eyes landed on me she instantly shot out of her seat and skipped over toward me as she smiled. She spoke first with the words, "Are ya gonna eat that?" With drool trailing from her mouth. I wasn't hungry at the time so I hand her my lunch box I prepared the day before. She thanked me as she grabbed the box and started scarfing the food down. We began having a deep conversation on food. Afterward we exchange numbers to maybe grab a bite(more like a meal) after school.

As I head to my next class I notice a sign taped to the door saying to head to the library. I sigh as I search my memory of where exactly that was. I pace down the main staircase as I spot the blonde coconut from earlier. He looks in a hurry to go somewhere so I follow him, hoping he's heading to the same destination as me. And I was correct, as he opens the library door he stops for a second. I wonder what he is doing until he leans his back agains the rail holding the door open for me. No words escape his mouth, neither does he look up at me. His face is toward the floor with a tint of pink appearing on his cheeks. "Thanks," I whisper before entering. He nods at me gently before following behind. I find my class seated in the front, tables. Mr.Jaeger hasn't started yet. I take the empty seat in the back. As we were sent off to find books for our writing projects I notice the blonde grabbing books from a cart and putting them neatly away. He must be an assistant here. Cool. His back is facing me but I guess I was looking longer than I should have because he notices and his ears tint a light pink. I walk over to him as I smile generously. "Do you help out here?" I ask as he neatly sets books in their right spot. "Y-yes." He stutters as I strain my ears to hear him. He isn't facing me as he puts more books away. I take step closer to him and lean my side on the book shelf my arm lightly brushing his. I look at the side of his face, head tilted a little lower covering his eyes with his bangs. He slowly faces me as he says,"was there something you needed?" I shrug my shoulders and say "do you know any books that will spark my interest?" When I say that I see his eyes gleam for a second but he looks back down. "I don't think you'd like what I read." I look at him longer. "Seriously? You don't read the dictionary or something do you?" His face begins to grow a deeper shade of red. "Okay cool, me too." That's when he looks my way.  "You..too?" I smile kindly. "Yeah, one time when I was 9 I entered the spelling bee the only hint they gave us was to study the dictionary. I guess they were probably joking but I thought It'd be interesting. Though I ended up being disqualified from having to leave early." The boy smiles lightly at me, "That's too bad, you must've been pretty good!" I grin, "Yeah, the others didn't have anything on me." As I hear Mr.Jaeger call the class back the boy calmly pulls a book out of the shelf and hands it to me. "Red Queen," k read aloud. He smiles, "I think this will "spark your interest." I giggle and say, "Thanks, my name is (f/n) (l/n) what's yours?" I hold out my hand. He looks at my hand and smiles before taking it, "Armin, Armin Arlert."
