Hello everyone and here's another chapter!
Lyia made sure her curly, light brown hair was in order before knocking once on the door. A few moments passed before a you get female answered the door. She was rather tall and had short, deep blue hair and light blue eyes. She also wore a red t shirt and grey sweats. "Marina Hopkins?" Lyia asked in a monotone voice. "What do you want?" The girl asked sternly. "I'm detective Lyia and am currently investigating the case concerning Jamal" Marina tensed, "come in" Both took a seat in the living room which had random boxes scattered around, "I'm moving after the funeral" Marina said solemnly, "Can I get you anything?" She asked. Lyia shook her head and pulled out a pen and notepad. "So tell me about Jamal, anything you think may help with the investigation" marina nodded, "I'll do my best"
Every since the milk incident Armin noticed his friends grow a tad but more possessive of him during school hours. Kevin hadn't picked on him yet but they didn't want to tempt him. Armin thought it was nice that his friends cared so much but there was a point where enough was enough. Armin sighed, he had just escaped Eren and was debating weather or not to go to the library. He wanted to but they would most likely look for him there. Armin sighed and decided to just walk around. Armin decided it was time to start heading to class seeing as he was board of wondering around. Armin turned around and if course, had to come face to face (well more like face to chest, plus they weren't to close to each other) to Kevin.
"Arlert, fancy meeting you here." He said as he grit his teeth, one of which was missing. Other than that he had a few bruises that shone past his sleeves as evidence to the fight he had gotten into with Mikasa. Armin said nothing as he got ready to run away but Kevin was faster, he latched onto the boy and threw him against the wall, earning a groan from Armin. "You're such a coward, you know that? Having Mikasa bail you out of trouble." He hissed. "I didn't-" Armin was cut off. "SHUT UP!" Kevin yelled as he punched the blond in the gut hard. "Gah!" Armin sunk to his knees but didn't stay down long. He got back up, angering Kevin even more. "You make me sick, but now your "friends" aren't around to protect you" he attempted to grab Armin by the hair but Armin got out of the way. He may not hit Kevin back, but he didn't want to take it lying down.
"Why are you mad at me? You've brought this on yourself. And now all you're doing is asking for trouble." Armin said. Kevin sneered, "what? You're going to sick Mikasa on me again? Then I'll just have to make it so you can't talk." Kevin balled up his fist and charged at Armin. Armin saw the attack coming from a mile away. He side stepped Kevin's attack and dashed down the hall as the bell rang, "oh great, there goes my perfect attendance" Armin thought but pushed those thoughts out of his mind. He had bigger problems at the moment. Kevin wasn't far behind, and was gaining fast, his face twisted with fury. Armin turned the corner, ignoring the fact his arm hit the wall and wasn't happy about it.
"Get back here!" Kevin shouted as he increased his speed. Armin didn't even have time to blink as he felt a hand grab onto his shirt. Time seemed to slow down a bit as he was dragged backward and a fist was raised. Armin closed his eyes and the next thing he knew he was on the floor. He didn't even have to open his eyes to tell his nose was bleeding; not broken, just bleeding. Armin groaned and he tried to stand up, only to have Kevin yank on his hair. Armin bit his lip to stop himself from yelping, he would not give Kevin the satisfaction. "What's wrong Arlert? Not used to fighting your own battles?" He mocked as he released the blond. Armin didn't respond and Kevin scoffed, "Whatever, I'm leaving." True to his word Kevin simply walked away, not sparing Armin a second glance.
"How did this happen?" The nurse asked as she handed Armin a tissue. "Kevin punched me in the face" Armin mumbled. The nurse sighed, "This isn't good, why I'll tell the principal while you stay here and fix yourself up. And don't move till I get back." She ordered. Armin nodded and she left without another word. Armin hated to admit it, but he felt close to crying. "Why do I have to be so weak?" He thought as he wiped away the tears. "Don't you dare cry" he whispered as he wiped his eyes again. "A-Armin?" A surprised voice asked. Armin jumped and saw it was Jean with Connie, who was sporting a gash on his cheek and leg. "Jean? What happened to Connie?" Armin asked. "He got scraped up in gym but what about you?" Jean asked with concern as he sat Connie down on a bed. "Yeah, you look beat up" Connie thought aloud. "I'm fine" Armin said as he grabbed another tissue. "Kevin did this to you didn't he? I swear to God Armin, I'll-" "it's fine Jean" Armin said quickly. "See? The bleeding is going down." He added as if it'd help.
Jean walked up to Armin and the smaller boy tensed as Jean quickly pulled him into a hug, "That bastards lucky he didn't do worse, but I swear Armin, I'm going to get him for this" "J-Jean" Armin said, his cheeks a light shade of pink. "GAAAAYYYY!" Connie called out, ruining the moment. Jean scowled and released Armin. "Shut up"
And that's it for this chapter! Poor Armin ): Stay tuned for next chapter and reviews are always lovely.
