When I made it back to class, I didn't realize time had past so quickly, it literately felt like I was gone for five minutes. The whole classroom wouldn't dare to look at me but the teacher seemed to be disappointed.

"Annie, I would like to see you after class" His dispirited tone echo through the hushed students.

At last the lunch bell rang and I was finally dismissed from class after Mr. Ginn scolded me for taking so long in the bathroom, he warned me if I ever did that again he would write me up for ditching...But I didn't care. I walked out the room only find Mina waiting for me.

"Why did he get mad at you this time?" She asked as she held on tightly to the black straps of her baby blue backpack.

"Weren't you there?" I dimly questioned, looking over at her. We did have the same periods.

"No, minutes after you left, I got a severe headache and went to the nurse for the rest of the hour" She sincerely explained.

"oh"

As we neared closer to the lunch room, a certain freckled boy crept up behind Mina, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Hello my little piglet, guess who?" the raven haired male nuzzle his nose against the side of her neck.

"Is it my little dalmatian, love? Mina giggled her responded back to her soulmate. Swiftly, she turned around only to meet Marco's lips.

"Get a room you two" Jean jokingly remarked.

All of them laughed at the comment besides me, I guess my senses were forbidden to work that way. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm really human at all, that's when I saw him, his bright yellow hair and nerdy wardrobe.

"Hey Mina, I'll catch up with you later..." I informed my friend and walked away to catch up with Armin.

"Oh, Alright" she waved a temporarily goodbye

I follow the boy but he seemed to lead me to the back of the cafeteria building, a little weird if you ask me. There, I noticed a little wooden table that was surrounded by blooming blossom trees, he sat down and took out his lunch. I took in a deep breath and ambled over to him.

"Have you come back to steal my lunch too?" Armin spoke in a hostile tone and gave me his sharp glare.

"Mind if I sit with you? I asked in a mannered voice.

"No, I want to be alone!" he retorted as he took a bit of his bacon sandwich.

"You said we were friends"

"You don't even remember" he kept snapping.

"Well you can't force me to go away" I slammed my hand on the wooden picnic table

"Correct, and you can't force me to stay" Armin quickly got up, stuffed his lunch in his bag but right when he was about to take off, a sudden impulse shot in my arm and caused me to grab his elbow firmly. He looked back at me with big eyes when he saw my face darken.

"I-I'm sorry I can't remember our past, I guess 5 years really does wipe out my memory but Armin, there's something about you, I cannot get you out of my head, ok? It's like torture. Please Armin, I want to get to know you." I tried to say that in the most nonchalant way I could but it was a little difficult since my heart had an abnormal feeling.

Armin's POV

I was confused, what game was she playing. This wasn't like the Annie Leonhardt I use to know, I guess five years changes a person as well.

"Why?" I asked in a concern matter

"Because, I feel like I can relate to you" she softly whispered.
