Armin's POV

"EVERYONE'S INVITED!" Reiner yelled, after giving the announcement of his party this Saturday.

I looked to Sylph to see her reaction and found her standing with Oruo. The bastard had a wide grin on his face and Sylph didn't look too happy, not to mention she was dressing differently.

To be more specific, she was dressing like a slut.

She was wearing a hot pink crop top and high waisted shorts with rhinestones.

I shifted a bit closer to get a better view and found at that Sylph had ANOTHER hickey.

It didn't take long for me to put two and two together.

Sylph is not only sleeping with Oruo, but going out with him as well.

By now, I was positively shaking with rage. A few people noticed this and disappeared at once.

My mouth opened and closed furiously as a result of my trying to form words to properly express my anger.

Of all people in the school, Sylph went for Oruo?!

My anger slowly faded away and was replaced my sadness. All the time we'd been hanging out, I thought she'd have at least a little bit of feelings for me.

I guess I was wrong.

Tears flowed from my eyes and dropped on the ground, I turned away just as Sylph began to notice me, then I ran off.

===

I sat in the corner of an empty classroom, crying my eyes out but making no sound at all. I should've known better than to get so attached to someone that wasn't already a friend of one of my friends.

I could hear the sound of foot steps and I quickly swiped at my cheeks, wiping away the majority of my tears. I had finished looking as presentable as I possibly could when Eren marched into the classroom, gripping Sylph's hand tightly.

He scanned the classroom and when his eyes landed on me, he threw Sylph at my feet.

"Apologize." He ordered.

Sylph got up from the ground and gave me a look. I couldn't read it at all, it's like there was no meaning behind it.

And just like that, everything changed.

The atmosphere felt heavier, and if this was some sort of movie, I swear dramatic music would be playing in the background.

Sylph's eyes were only half-lidded and her green pupils were directed at me, filled with her meaningless emotion . She opened her mouth and spoke softly.

"Son of a bitch."

Then turned on her heel and strutted out the door, her heels clicking against the floor with every movement.

Eren blinked and looked at me. I was stunned, unable to comprehend what just happened.

Sylph, insulted me?

"Uh, Armin. I'm so sorry. . . I didn't think she would. . . " He trailed off, unable to complete his statement.

I blinked once.

Twice.

Thrice.

I got up, and chased after her.

Sylph wasn't far from the classroom I was in, but she was still walking away.

Eren called after me but I shut him out.

Blinded and deafened by rage, I rushed up to Sylph and grabbed her wrist. Just as she turned to face me, I did what I'd been planning to do all this time.

At least, I thought I did.

I'd originally planned to slap her, to knock some sense into her and help her become the Sylph I know.

But just as I was about to, I caught sight of her face. For a split second, she looked so pure and innocent, almost angelic.

For another split second, I saw fear and regret in her eyes. In fact, I saw so many emotions in her eyes, I couldn't possibly list them all.

Sylph looked at where I gripped her wrist and started to pull her hand away, I noticed this and my grip on her wrist tightened.

"Arm- mmf!"

I didn't let her complete her statement.

Using her wrist I held in my right hand, I pulled Sylph towards me and connected our lips.

I could feel the heat radiating from her cheeks when I pressed my lips against hers. She was too stunned to anything, too surprised to react.

I put hand on her waist and the other behind her head and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss and pressing her body against mine.

Everyone was silent as they watched.

Sylph, very slowly, melted into the kiss and wrapped her arms around my neck.

I let my arm behind her head drop to her waist.

Sylph had this mix of a vanilla and strawberry scent that I'd never noticed before, but I liked it.

And I liked the feel of her body against mine.

And I liked the feel of her lips against mine.

There was no clapping, no wolf whistling, no cheering.

Just silence.

Yet, I knew everyone was proud of me.

I also knew there were more than a few people mentally screaming 'SHIP'.

Our kiss would've lasted longer if not for the fact that we needed air and Oruo was marching up to us.

We separated just as he stopped directly in front of us.

"You. . . . You slut!" Oruo yelled, raising one hand in the air.

Sylph and I blinked before realizing what he planned to do.

I reacted quickly and caught his hand before he could even brush his fingers against her cheek, he has no right to slap anyone.

Especially Sylph.

I pushed him away and he stumbled backwards, falling on his backside.

This time, nobody, except Sylph and I, remained silent. Everyone began to laugh at Oruo and I could've sworn I saw his eyes gloss over before he got up and ran away.

When he was out of sight, everyone fell silent.

Nobody dared to say a word for reasons unknown to the both of us.

Sylph began to tug at my sleeve, as I turned to face her, she pulled me into another kiss.

This time, there was clapping.

This time, there was wolf whistling

This time, there was cheering.

And our kiss lasted longer.

THE END!

Yes! The book is over, only nine chapters, I know. A really short book but I'm proud of it.

JOKE!

The book isn't over, I planned A LOT for it. So you better believe there will be about fifteen more chapters.

Ha, my fantabulous mini warriors!
