"1...2...3."

Foot steps echoed in the hallway as Armin gave himself a tour of his new school.

The halls were empty, he was the only student in the school... for the moment at least.

He was use to the empty atmosphere, ever since his parents died it had always been that way, but he didn't mind it too much, it was always better than being around complete idiots.

As he walked some more he came to a part of the hallway that was just glass walls, it was raining..the weather always seemed to reflect his mood somedays.

The only reason he even got into this prestigious school was mainly because of a music scholarship. Armin had been playing the Violin since he was four. His parents were always huge music fans and they played instruments themselves. Even after their death he still played, he knew they would have wanted him to progress even more. Not to waste such a great talent.

Suddenly a noise breaks his melancholy thought process. Armin looks to where the sound originated.

Their blue eyes meet.

"Its..a girl."

Armin stared for a couple of seconds until clicking back to his senses. Where did this girl come from? Is she a student? Is she a teacher?

These mental questions flooded into his mind. Quickly he looked away not wanting to attract more attention to himself than he already had.

Armin jumps, hearing footsteps come closer to him. Knowing it was the girl. He felt like the prey, with the predator closing in on him.

"What are you doing here?" A cold voice questions the cowardly boy.

Armin turns to face the blue eyed, very blonde girl. She was definitely a beautiful sight. She had her right hand on her hip, her hair up in a bun, her choice of clothing was a black sweatshirt and skinny blue jeans with a pair of all black skater style shoes.

"I guess thats the style now."

Armin hesitated to answer. It was obvious that he was nervous. Finally he answers: "S-Sorry..I'm new here." He felt his face beginning to turn red, his palms starting to sweat. Why was he so nervous? Its just a girl.

She clears her throat "Should have known. Why are you here so early...umm?"

Shifting his books in his hands he gives a small smile "Oh um. I just wanted to look around before the other students came onto campus." Quickly he set out a hand, putting his books in his other "S-Sorry! My name is Armin! Armin Arlert!"

The girl chuckled quietly "Nice to meet you Armin, I'm Annie. Annie Leonhardt." She answers while taking his hand to give a light shake.
