Hey Jean!" Connie and Sasha approached me, both having anxious looks on their faces.
"What does the spud squad want with me?" I smirked, Connie laughed, but Sasha pouted.
"Well, we can't help to notice about that mark on your neck and-" Sasha said.
I slapped my hand over the mark that Armin had gave me. It was going away, but still noticeable.
"Spill." Connie stated.
"Well um, I don't know what you guys want to know. " I blushed
"Who gave it to you?" They said in unison. They had caught Marcos attention, who was next to me.
"Tough luck guys, I had been begging for him to tell me, but he won't. He won't tell anyone." Marco said.
Of course I hadn't told Marco. Of he finds out that the boy he has a huge crush on fave this to me, he would be heartbroken.
"But you have to. There is a cookie on the line!" Sasha exclaimed.
"wait, what? Who has a cookie?" Marco asked. His face lit up with curiosity.
"Eren has a cookie for anyone who tell him who did it!" Connie chimed in.
"What!" I blushed even harder. Now everyone will know that Armin did it at the end of the day, including Marco. And I can't allow that. My poor friend would be devastated.
"Yeah, seriously he showed it to me!" Connie said.
They were all stating at me, and I took a glance at Marco. He's going to be so depressed, and I can only imagine how mad he'd be mad at me. I knew that he liked Armin, and I did nothing to stop him. Because deep down I liked him too. No matter what I said before about having a stronger companion, Armin gentleness drew me closer.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you." And I walked away, leaving Marco, Connie, and Sasha in the courtyard.
