Maybe he was going to be ridiculed, invited as a joke to provide some entertainment for the other guests. He shook his head slightly, trying to keep his negative thoughts to a minimum - he was there to enjoy himself. Upon entering, the crowd he was hiding in slowly dispersed until he was completely alone, allowing him to fully take in the surroundings. Armin noticed straight away that he did not fit in, as far as stereotypes went. He was short, thin and nerdy, and had ‘girly’ hair which he kept in a ponytail; however the room he was in was occupied with taller, muscular boys with short messy hair and an air of confidence.
