~ Annie's P.O.V ~
I thought that Armin never wanted to speak to me again. I slowly turn my phone off and put it back in my pocket.
Reiner can wait.
"I guess" I sighed.
"Okay" He said.
Armin walked closer to me, but not awkwardly close.
"I'm sorry" He apologized.
"Okay. What about?" I asked.
"For saying that I couldn't talk to you. That's what Mikasa told me to say" Armin confessed.
"Why?" I asked.
"Krista and I dating is a front. I guess it saves her the cold-shoulder of everyone else. She's gay" He explained.
"Oh. Okay" I said.
"I'm sorry that I made you think that we couldn't be friends" Armin apologized, again.
"I already said that it was fine, Armin" I sighed.
"Sweet" He grinned.
"Won't this make it seem like you're cheating?" I asked.
"Whatever. Krista and I both don't have feelings for each other anymore" Armin said.
"You sure?" I asked.
"I'm 100% positive" He said.
"Then let's do something" I grinned.
"Are we really gonna skip again?" Armin asked.
I nodded. He grinned and we left the building. Some teachers were in the halls but didn't give us a second glance.
I skip too much for them to give two shits. I wonder why they ignored Armin?
We were off school grounds in ten minutes. We just walked around town.
A few other students were hanging about.
They all smiled and waved at me and I returned the gesture.
We ended up hanging out at the park. We're sitting on an old wooden bench.
"Annie" Armin says, suddenly serious.
"Yes?" I asked.
I looked into his blue eyes and he looked into mine.
"I have to ask you something" He said.
"Then say it. You're freaking me out" I said.
I don't want him to say that this is the last time we can hang out.
"Annie..I..think I'm in love with you" He admitted.
My jaw dropped and he started to blush. I felt heat rush up to my cheeks.
"I-I'm sorry..that was out of line" He said.
He scrambled to get up but I grabbed him by the hand and pulled him back down onto the bench.
"I know I'm in love with you" I smiled.
He grinned and then we were kissing.
