You were an outcast in your school, all because you were a new student. you also got bullied so many times. You had no friends and you spent 2 months alone.

But this day was completely different. You were in the classroom, drawing as usual. There was a seat right next to you that no one dared to sit on.

But, someone did sit on that chair, and it was Armin, but You didn't notice him. then he poked you gently to get your attention, you turned around, your eyes widened. He smiled

"Hey, what's your name?"

You spoke softly "Umm...(y/n)..." You were really shy

"Hi (y/n), I'm Armin Arlert..."

"Nice to meet you, but don't you have any friends?"

"I just realized you were all alone, and you don't have any friends."

You blushed "s-so you want to be friends with me?"

He nodded, you smiled and accepted his request,You two became seatmates. He was super nice to you, he became your best friend in less than 2 days. Your friendship was good, but you thought of him as something...more...

You used to be very smart and always knew what was going on. but ever since Armin came into your life, you concentrated on less things in life. You did well during your studies cause Armin was your tutor, but only you and Armin didn't know that Annie started hating you

But one day, you were checking your locker, the place was quiet. Suddenly someone grabbed your arm and smashed you into your locker. She kicked your leg and made you fall into the ground, she stepped on your face and kicked your chin. She pulled your hair and spun you around, and made you hit the wall.

Your eyesight was blurry, but you could still see your bully, Annie Leonhardt. Everyone was staring at you, she continued beating you up, you we're bleeding, you thought there was no hope for you anymore, until...

"HEY!! LEAVE HER ALONE!!"

Everyone turned back, it was Armin. You were so worried, he might get hurt, he's too weak to fight Annie. She laughed at him evilly

"You can't tell me what to do, Arlert...I'm the strongest student in the school, there's nothing you can do about it"

He shook his head "you're not the strongest ... Corporal?"

Captain Levi came out of the door. everyone ran away, except for Annie, who doesn't seem to care

"Levi? Oh please, I can beat this guy up in less than 15 seco-"

Levi grabbed her neck and threw her against the wall, she stood up feeling even weaker than before. Armin wrapped your arm around his neck and helped you up

"Cmon, (y/n)! We have to go, Levi will take care of this!"

You muttered "th-thank you...A-Armin..."
