You feel your legs shaking as you stand up. Levi cocks an eyebrow at you, clearly curious because of your behaviour.

“Excuse me for a moment.” You scratch the back of your head nervously, a crimson flush spreading up all over your face. “I ought to take a shower.”

You lurch out of the living room, feeling Levi's dark blue eyes following you. He didn't say anything but you know that he's aware of everything. Of your stupid crush on him. You've never felt so embarrassed in your whole life before.

You need to go out. Take a breath of fresh air. Rethink everything.

You catch yourself standing in front of the wardrobe. Without cogitation, you grab a clean pair of underwear, plain white T-shirt, dark grey tracksuit pants and black sweatshirt.

Before you enter the bathroom, you peek into the living room. Levi's still sitting on the coach, in the same position you left him in two minutes ago. He's gazing in the direction of the window. You shake your head firmly and slide into the bathroom.

After a quick shower, you change into the clothes you brought with you and throw your pyjamas into the laundry basket.

Having done that, you head to the front door.

“I'm going out!” you call in the direction of living room and, not waiting for the response, leave the flat.

The cold fresh air hits you as soon as you find yourself on the pavement. You begin to run down the street. It's a frosty morning but very refreshing.

Trying to concentrate on jogging, you push any unpleasant thoughts away.

Breath in, breath out. Breath in, breath out. Breath in...

How stupid were you! You wonder if you will ever be able to look into Levi's eyes again.

After only ten minutes you're already out of breath and sweating as well. You shouldn't have been running so aggressively. Deciding to rest for a moment, you perch on a kerb, sucking in desperate gulps of air.

You draw a long breath and let it hiss out slowly. During the process of it, you inspect the other side of the road.

“(Name)?” You jump at the sound of someone on your left saying your name quietly.

“Hi Annie.” You offer your classmate a weak smile. “Free day, hm?”

Annie Leonhardt crosses her arms. She's wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and black cotton knee-length shorts. Her blonde hair is up in a ponytail.

“Have you been fighting with a troll?” she asks, examining your sweaty face.

You try to laugh but the voice can't escape your mouth. Instead of that you give a confused smile.

“I... I wanted to go outside,” you explain taking small pauses between words to control your breath.

“And why is that?” She hands you a bottle of water.

“Thanks.” You take three gulps of the cold liquid and put the bottle on the kerb beside you. “I-I'm a fool Annie...”

You glance at her hands resting on her hips, afraid to look into her blue eyes.

“Everyone who doesn't carry water with them while running are fools.”

You blink several times because your eyes start to sting. Suddenly you want to tell her about everything.

And so you do.

Annie listens to you carefully. She nods a few times but doesn't say anything. You tell her everything that lay heavy on your heart. At the end of your story, you speak in a hardly audible voice. When you tell her about the password to your phone, she reaches her hand out to you and pulls you up as if you were a feather. You wait in silence for her to say something but she just eyes you with her usual cold expression.

“God...” You run your left hand over your face and through your hair. “I'm so sorry... I don't know why I told you about that. We started talking to each other like what? Three days ago?”

She tilts her head, still silent. You feel panic raising up to your throat.

“Oh my God, Annie... I'm hopeless...” You begin to hyperventilate, realizing the situation you are in. “I can't go back to the flat and just pretend that nothing happened...”

A hysterical laugh escapes your mouth. You crouch clutching your head and letting out a small whine.

And then Annie squats down in front of you. She grabs you by your wrists making you look at her.

“(Name),” she speaks up quietly. “That's exactly what you're going to do. You go back to the flat and pretend that nothing happened. Because nothing happened.”

“But-”

“No,” she interrupts you. “You need to start treating him normally, (Name).”

She stands up grabbing her bottle of water. You lift yourself up too.

“Annie, I...” Your voice trails off because something wet just landed on your nose. You lift your head up.

“Snow.” Annie shrugs.

You frown. Because of that “Levi thing” you totally lost the time perception.

“What day is it?”

“Twenty-fifth of November,”  Annie replies briefly.

You open your eyes wide. Somehow the two months of sharing the flat with Levi managed to pass unnoticed.

“I'd better be going,” you state. Annie nods.

“Good idea.” She puts the hood on and pulls it low over her face.

You take a step in her direction.

“Annie, thank you...”

She only pushes the fringe of her blonde hair which slipped out of her ponytail to the right side of her face. You suddenly notice just how beautiful she is. Not only on the outside but also in her heart.

“See you tomorrow then.” You zip your sweatshirt up because it's starting to snow harder.

“I guess.” Annie turns her back to you and starts to run in the opposite direction she was supposed to go if she wanted to get back to her flat.

You chuckle. She's a really determined person to jog in the weather like this. You follow her example and put the hood on. Then, having decided to walk instead of running, you begin to move slowly towards your apartment block. You don't want to drop dead halfway.

Unfortunately when you're finally there, standing in front of your flat's door, you're soaking wet. You hesitate looking at the doorbell. After Annie's speech you're ready to face Levi, but maybe not with the melting snow all over your body.

Eventually you try to pull the handle down. To your surprise, the door swings open easily. You quietly enter the flat, wondering if Levi is still in the living room.

The door makes a small 'click' after you close it behind you.

“I'm sure it's her.” Levi's sharp voice makes you shiver. It seems like he's talking to someone on the phone. The sounds of steps coming from the living room tell you that your flatmate prowls around the room.

You stand still wanting to know who is he talking about.

“Yes, blonde hair, light blue eyes,” he snaps, obviously annoyed with the person on the other side of the phone. Your stomach does a double-flip.

You put your hand on your chest, fearing the pounding of your heart might give you away. You feel sick all of sudden. While you try to keep your breakfast inside, Levi ends the phone call and, judging by the sounds, he throws himself onto the coach.

“We've got you, Annie Leonhardt,” he mutters quietly.
Hello! :3 Haha, I bet you didn't expect THAT :D
