This is a very bad idea. He kept repeating the sentence over and over again inside his mind, while he was trying to decide whether he should be brave or not. Whether he should ask the girl for help... or rather not. Other students were rushing towards the sweet freedom, but Armin didn't leave his spot. He stood right in the middle of the school hallway, which was surprisingly submerged in darkness in this early morning hour. The lights were turned off.
Annie Leonhardt. He has always thought that her presence is kind of intimidating and intriguing at the same time - he wanted to get to know her better. However, he didn’t dare to bother her or try to talk to her too often. And when he did, he messed it up. Due to the current circumstances, he got the idea that he might try to start a conversation with her again. He needed a reason why obviously... and what could be better than this chaos and a request, which he had in mind for some time now?
He took a deep breath, looking around nervously. He reached into the pocket of his winter coat and fished out his mobile phone, and held it closely in front of his face. A female superhero from his favorite movie was smiling at him from the mobile phone screen. The picture was like a holy water for him. He murmured the name of the superhero very quietly, before he smiled a little and stepped forward. It wasn't difficult to find Annie. Only a few steps away from her, he dropped the phone. Quickly, he picked it up and raised his hand, waving at the girl - pretty much awkwardly.
“Annie!” He breathed out. “I mean... hi, Annie.” He did his best to sound as friendly as possible. “You look like a superhero today.”
Wait. What?
