What an exciting day he was having! First, he got shoved into a locker, then he stuck his hand in a wad of gum under a desk, and now his milk got spilled onto his jeans when a kid bumped into Mikasa's arm, just lovely. Armin sighed as he tried to dry the spot on his pants in the boy's bathroom. "Ugh… Great, I'm gonna have to change into my gym shorts for the rest of the day…"

He heard a slight chuckle in one of the stalls, but he opted to ignore it. While he looked at himself in the mirror he heard the loud flushing of the toilet and the opening of the creaky stall door. He looked back at the sink when he saw who it was. Out of the stall walked, the one and only soccer captain, Eren Jaeger.

"What happened, dude? Did you piss yourself?" Eren jokingly questioned.

"Ah…no my milk got knocked over into my lap."

"oh.. Well that sucks, I'm sorry." He apologized

"I-it's okay.."

They didn't speak after that, and Armin tried his best to hurry out of the bathroom. It's not like he had a problem with Eren, he had never really spoken to him before. You see, Armin is what you would call an introvert. Ever since he had come out in the sixth grade, he tried to keep to himself. He figured if he kept people away, it'd keep rumors and bullies away. However, that was quite the opposite, but he gave up with the idea of trying to be more open, that just wasn't him.

Armin had a few friends: Sasha, Connie, Marco, Jean and Mikasa. They were all very different from himself, and sometimes it confused even him how they managed to become such a tight nit group.

Mikasa was the head cheerleader, which surprised a lot of people. Her aloft expressions wouldn't make you guess she'd enjoy cheering for the sports games at school. She was also cousins with Eren, so he had been included in their group a few times.

Marco and Jean were on the soccer team together, they were quite good from what he's seen.

Finally, Sasha and Connie are the top two "most artsy" couple in their grade, constantly getting requested to paint murals outside teachers classrooms.

Armin walked into the gym to the boy's dressing room. His locker was in the far corner, so he had to walk by the rows of lockers to get to his. The thick air of the smelly locker room was hard to breathe in. Armin decided he was gonna get his shorts and change as quickly as he could so he wouldn't have to stay in the room longer then he needed.

When he reached his locker he let out a sigh of relief. "Finally.." He quickly opened the door and a small piece of paper fell out to his feet. He looked at it confused, he had never had something like this happen. "I wonder if this is another prank…" he put the piece of paper on the bench, deciding he's going to read it once he left school.

TIME SKIP

A shrill ring sounded out in the hallway, signaling the end of the school day. Armin gathered his things and put them in his backpack, leaving the room last. He headed towards the busses lined up along the building. He felt a slight tug on his backpack. Once he turned around he saw that it had been Sasha pulling at the zippers on his bag.

"Armin you seem kind of spacey what's up?" Sasha asked, a slight tone of confusion evident in her voice.

"Yeah," he replied holding up the note "I just got a note earlier, I haven't opened it, yet, and I'm not sure I want too. I kind of feel like it's just going to be a waste of my time."

Sasha quickly snatched the piece of paper, eyeing it over before opening it. Her eyes wandered over the words, studying them closely. Finally she stopped and looked up at Armin, a look of amusement evident in her eyes. Snickering, she nudged his shoulders.

"It looks like soooomeone has a crush on youuuuu"

Armin, who had a startled look on his face, grabbed at the note Sasha still had lodged between her fingers. "What? Let me see that."

"I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you that I don't think it's a joke. He sounds serious."

"I haven't even read it yet, shush. I'll have to decide on that.."

"Well I'm just sayin'"

Armin carefully opened the note. There at the very top, written in all caps, were the words "the words to describe you". They boarded one of the buses and sat near the back, his eyes still on the open letter. Squinting carefully at the messy handwriting, he began to read the note aloud.

"I could never in my life write a poem, to be honest, I still can't. but these are the words that only occur when I'm thinking of you.

Your ambitious dreams are what first caught my attention

Your boundless knowledge drives me to strive for apprehension.

Your dazzling blue eyes, shine brighter then the sky. I wonder how many people have complimented them.

The detailed ideas you speak so boldly. Determined to make their presence known.

The enchanting voice when you're learning something new, I doubt anyone has noticed this too, your faithful endurance for whatever comes your way. Those beautiful moments that leave you in a gentle sway.

You're thoughtful and caring, your words are always snaring the attention of others.

Sadly I wish I was brave enough to tell you this face to face.

But I am a coward, no matter how I try to act brave.

It's not like I've never talked to you,

We've had a few conversations

But I'm always outside the crowd

Never really trying to be loud…

I don't know why you've caught my attention

I don't understand, can't see the potential.

I hope you don't find this creepy, I honest to god am not trying to be.

Maybe you could finally see, that you actually do mean something to me

This isn't the first time I've tried writing you this, and I know it won't be the last.

So if you find this letter or more, if it's from me it'll be signed

-J.B. "

Armin was speechless, his face a dark shade of red. Sasha started giggling and nudging him with her elbow.

"See I told you it sounds like someone likes you. I wonder who this J.B. guy is."

"I-I don't know… he said that we've spoken before, but what does he mean "outside the crowd"?"

"Who knows, but he did say if you find another letter it could be him, maybe you could write him one back and hide it in your locker for him?"

"Hmm… I don't really know. I wonder if he is gonna give me anymore hints as to who it is."

"I hope he does! I want to meet him. Oh hey- Armin we're at your stop."

Looking up he realized she was right and that the bus driver was waiting for him to get off. Armin jumped up, knocking into the person in the seat beside them. He apologized quickly before hurrying to the front of the bus and stepping off onto his driveway.

Shoving the note into his pocket he ascended up the steps to his house, greeting his grandfather in the living room he made his way to his bedroom. Armin sat on his bed and opened his laptop, the tab was on twitter. He scrolled through his notifications before clicking "Compose new tweet"

"Who ever gave me a letter today, thank you. I hope I can talk to you face to face soon."

Laughing, knowing that the one who wrote the letter most likely wouldn't see it, he posted it. He closed his laptop and got under the covers, planning on taking a short nap. His phone buzzed on his nightstand, signaling he had a message. He reached over and grabbed it, clicking the lock button to see the message. It was a notification from twitter, sashasart replied to your post 'I HOPE HE WRITES YOU AGAIN'. He was about to type a reply when another notification popped up laterjeager favourited your post.

Armin arched an eyebrow, he didn't realize Eren was following his account. Thinking nothing more of it, he set his phone back on the nightstand and turned on his radio.

Before he finally drifted off to sleep he whispered, "Well… this could be interesting."

*A.N.: the letter at the end s supposed to seem like he's bad at words? If that makes sense. First chapter of this story, I don't know when ill update. But I do know that in the next chapter it will start coming together better.
