(I know it is not a creative title, but I had to make some changes to this chapter once I was rereading this. Second part of it will be out soon! I promise, *pulls out pinky*)

Your POV

Okay y/n, deep breaths. I stare at the building in front of me. Today is my first day of high school. But what makes things more nerve-wracking is that I have no friends here. I moved towns because my parents found a job here. It is much further away from the old town we use to live in. So they thought that it would be better to have me go to a school that is only 5-10 minutes away from work. This happened during the last week of summer. I guess you can say it was like last minute plan?

Anyway, I walk forward, edging myself closer to the building. The closer I get, the more anxiety I feel. Come on, y/n, I thought to myself, it can't be that bad. I continue with these thoughts until I bumped into the front doors. I snap out of my panic montage and opened the left door. Once I enter the building, I see a lot of small lockers. Confuse, I think to myself, how do they expect us to fit all of our books in that? I walk pass the square lockers and begin looking for the main office to receive my schedule. 

Moments later...

I still struggle to find the main office. I check my phone, 7:30 . Last time I checked it was 7:15. I spent 15 minutes on trying to find my destination. I mentally face-palmed. This isn't a good sign. I take small steps, now carefully examining every sight of the hallway. Well, I'm going to struggle finding my class for the first month, I thought as I peeked through a window of the door. Is arriving at this time too early? I wonder as I notice how bare the school is right now. As if on cue, I hear a voice from behind me call out, "hello?" I turn around and see a male with blonde hair. His eyes a beautiful blue color. He appears to have a red and yellow blanket thing on his head. He walks towards me. I feel cold sweat rising on my back as I just been caught- well, noticed.

I froze as he got closer, first day and you might already get a detention, y/n.

The blond male stared at the girl for a few moments. "Uh, what's your name?" He said with a gentle tone. 

"Y-y/n." I tell him. "I'm...new here."

"I could tell," he smiled. "You looked lost."

I feel sudden heat rise up to my face from embarrassment.

"Hey, don't feel bad. Moving to a new school can be difficult. Especially trying to figure out your destination." He stop. I look up as he place a hand on my shoulder. "I'll help you find your way around. Well, if you want..." The boy trailed off at his last statement while removing his hand to go back and collect his belongings.

I nod my head at his offer. "A-as long as it i-isn't a big d-deal, I-I would a-appreciate the guidance." Dang it y/n, stop stuttering!

"No worries, it's not a problem at all!" He spoke, interrupting my thoughts. I look up at him, wanting to know that he was truly okay with it. He gave me a smile of reassurance. I guess that answers it.

5 minutes later

After the boy led me to the office to get my schedule, he helped me find my locker and led me to my first class. Which happened to be with him! We sat in the middle row next to each other. As we were the first ones there, I thought this be the right time to ask him something. I tap a finger on his shoulder. He shift his attention from the book on his desk to me. "Yes?" He said.

"Uh...w-what's your n-ame?" I asked.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" He apologize as he rubbed a hand to the back of his neck. "I'm Armin. Armin Arlert. Sorry if I didn't tell you sooner," he chuckled.

"N-no! I-I should have asked!" I exclaimed.

"Oi! Armin!" A voice shouted behind me.

I turn to face the doorway and see a boy with brown hair. His eyes a gold-ish brown, (yep, I am using the manga Eren for this because it is not used so often in fics). I caught a girl behind him, with black short hair and plain gray eyes. I notice a red scarf on her. I keep my curious expression to myself and then asked why does she wear a scarf this early? I mean, it's still warm out. Armin waved at the two as they approached them.

"Who's she, Armin?" The brunet questions.

Ah shit! Operation Unnoticed has seem to be way down the drain. I thought as the trio's attention were on me. I feel my legs shake from under the desk from anxiety.

"Oh, this is y/n. She's a transfer," Armin explained to the two. He turn to me and gesture to the boy and girl. "Y/n, these are my friends, Eren and Mikasa." 

I waved shyly at them as they do the same. 

Mikasa was quick to breaking the silence and asked, "where did you come from?"

"O-oh, I moved from (town/city name). My parents found a job here and, w-well, I had to move with them, t-too," I stated.

They nodded in understatement. After a few more conversations with them, more students enter the room. The teacher enters the room after the last few pupils took their seat. And class began. 

~ December  ~

Thanks to Armin, I have not only made it on time to my classes, but I made more friends than I thought I would ever had. There is this boy name Jean... who has quite the ego. Then there is Marco, who is a very sweet guy. Next was Sasha, who I met during lunch. I didn't want to eat anymore, so she asked if she wanted my leftovers. She came along with Connie, who wanted a bit of my food. I just gave it up all. I met this girl name Krista. She is very nice and friendly, or should I say the 'Goddess' friend. She is always with this Ymir girl. Well, tomboy rather. Ymir is very overprotective of 'her Krista' as she says it. Sometimes she would tell her that after whatever situation we are in that they are getting married. Strange but okay, (don't kill me please!) This has affected a certain blonde male, Reiner's chances on getting her. Reiner scared me at first when I met him, though I really don't remember why. Maybe his bulk shape? His buddy Bertholdt, on the other hand, wasn't so intimidating looking. Even though he is very tall. But either way, I made friends with those two, though I don't hang out with so much. 

Out of all the people I met, I am the closest with Eren, Mikasa, and... him. 

Armin Arlert.

Out of everyone, I feel as if he is the closest to me. Every time he would approach me, with his sweet bright smile, I feel something in my stomach. I mean that in a good way. I always am the happiest when he is with me. His soft, angel-like voice is like the best music I could hear all day. I'm.... pretty sure that I would feel something warm inside me, too. When these feelings started, it was somewhere around the second week of school. I thought I was getting sick, because colder weather was coming, but that wasn't the case. These feelings grew stronger as I spend a lot of more time with Armin, whether we are just doing schoolwork or having some small talk of about our lives

It is December, now. So, almost a whole 3 months since these feelings around Armin develop. I haven't told this to anyone yet, thinking that I shouldn't concern anyone with my problems. 

I'm not planning on telling anyone, anyways.

Right now, I was lying down in bed, listening to music before going to bed. An idea popped into my mind, once that I was denying. What I feel towards him now? Do I really like him?  I look down at my lap, where my phone was. 

Since the second week of school, Armin would text me good morning and goodnight messages, to which surprised me at first. Back in junior high, I never had or even try to make any friends. So, having someone ask for my number was practically a 0% chance. 

I kept rereading Armin's message, until I grazed a finger over the screen. I could suddenly focus on my heartbeat. I fell in love with my best friend, I concluded in my mind.  

I finally decide to put my phone away for the night and get some rest. 

I sighed, too bad he won't return these feelings. 

I felt my eyes water as I finished that thought. I closed my eyes as tears escaped. Who would accept feelings from someone like me?
