Hello!This is my first Hetalia fic, so thanks for clicking. I absolutely adore Hongtai and Asian Pangle( HK x Tawian x Japan(I'm pretty sure it's that)) so I wrote this fic. I cannot tell you HOW confused I was with what human name I should use for Hong Kong, since there were like 5 of them. D:
Warnings: AU. Summery may be changed later on.
Disclaimer: I don't own Hetaliaz lulz.
Good thing my parents are at work, Mei thought, as she entered her house and made a beeline to her room. They would stopped her at all cost if they found out what she was about to do.
The fifteen year old pulled open her closet, grabbed the wig and gray boy's school uniform. Tying her long brown hair into loose bun, Mei pulled the wig over her hair. Then she slipped of her uniform and put on the boy's one she bought from the store. It wasn't the exact same one that Kiku wore at his school, but it was better than wearing a girl's uniform over there. It somewhat similar in a way, except the one that Kiku's school was a bit darker than the one she got.
She stared at the mirror, tucking in strands of her bangs into the wig. She smiled at her reflection. There. Now she looked a boy. She knew that being flat-chested was a blessing!
She glanced at the clock. Only twenty more minutes until Kiku got out of school.
Her heart thudded in her chest as the thought of breaking in to an all-boys school. She took a deep breath. She would not back out of this again. She would meet Kiku again and she would try to confess, something she wasn't able to do in middle school. They would hit it off and start dating and maybe even get married!
"Having Kiku as my boyfriend and getting married…" Blushing, the Taiwanese giggled like a little girl at her thoughts. Sudden determination swelled up inside her. Without a second thought, she left her house and headed over to where her crush was at.
Mei gaped dumbly as she stared through the tall gates at the elegant surroundings. She'd seen it many times since it was near her house, but it always took her breath away at how extravagant it looked. The building was HUGE, stretching across the whole land. A fountain was in front of it, with cupid spewing shimmering water from its mouth. They had pretty roses of all colors planted in neat rows, protected by small fences. Nearest to her, was a small building, probably belonging to security.
Whatever stupid determination that brought her there was gone, replaced by a nerve-wrecking fear and worry. A million bad scenarios of what could happen if she got caught played inside her mind. This could potentially ruin her whole life if she got caught.
Stop it Mei, she told herself. Think positive. You can do this! Subconsciously, she put her hand on the cool metal of the gates, scanning around for any ways she could break in. The openings in it were much too narrow for her to squeeze in, and she doubted that she could climb over it.
"Hey, student!" a gruff voice called. A pudgy looking man stuck his head out the door of the security building, glaring at her. "What are you doing out of class?!"
Out of class? Mei repeated to herself. That could mean only one thing…
He actually thought she was a student there!
Success! She cleared her throat, summoning the deep voice from inside her. "I'm sorry!" she croaked out and winced. That was an absolutely horrible attempt.
The man frowned and disappeared back inside the building. For a second, Mei thought that she had given her identity away, but instead, the gate doors swung open, inviting her in. Stifling back a gleeful laugh, she stepped inside, taking a deep breath.
She was on property now!
"Hey, over here!" the man barked, waggling a finger at her. Feeling nervous again, she walked over to him. She prayed that he wouldn't notice that the uniform she was wearing was different from the one the school usually wore. He stared down at her, and Mei had a sinking feeling that he knew that something was off.
"You're in A LOT of trouble, you know that?"
Mei's insides twisted. He knew that she was trespassing. Crap.
"You shouldn't be playing hooky, especially in this school with me around!" The man laughed, and relief washed over her like a well deserved shower. The security guard didn't suspect a thing!
The inside was just as fancy as she always thought it would be like: The floors were glossy, reflecting back mirror images. Golden chandeliers hung from the ceiling, lighting up the hall ways with a warm yellow. Even the lockers were extravagant; they were made out of gold!
The guard pushed her again, urging her to keep going forward. She nearly crashed into a door.
"Watch where you're going!" he scolded. "You're at the Headmaster's office, so get ready!" He laughed again and knocked on the door.
Mei stared at him. "Headmaster?"
"You gotta talk to him if you got caught playing hooky."He smirked. "You're going to be in a lot of trouble young man."
"But—" She was interrupted by the loud smack of the door being swung into a wall. Short man in an impeccably clean and white tuxedo with dark hair greased back stood there.
"Yessss?" he drawled, with a hint of annoyance.
"Headmaster! This here boy was trying to play hooky!"
The man's expression darkened. "Oh… was he?"
"Yes sir, yes sir! I'll leave you to deal with him!" The guard bent down, and hissed into Mei's ear, "Good luck!" Then he walked away, whistling.
Mei shuddered. She didn't like old men whispering into her ear. It was plain creepy.
"Well. Come inside." The man opened the door even wider, eyes boring into her. If she tried escaping, he would probably just call even more security guard after her. Mei walked in. she could only hope that the man was as unsuspecting at the person from before. The Headmaster scurried to a velvet seat behind a desk and nodded towards the chair across him.
Mei cautiously sat down, wary of what was about to come.
The headmaster took out a binder that read NAMES and flipped it open. He looked up at her. "You know, playing hooky in MY school is grounds of expulsion immediately. What's your name?" he asked, stretching out the syllables of each word.
Mei gulped. That was the one thing she couldn't let happen. Falsely expelled before she could meet Kiku? Not on her watch! "Well, you see, I'm actually… a…a new student here!" She flashed him a grin, hoping that was believable.
The man closed the binder and folded his hands together. "Oh? Is that so? You're wearing the wrong uniform though… why is that?"
"Um, you see… I never got the school's uniform, so I decided to wear something different from it, so I wouldn't stick out so much on my first day!"
"Humph. Then, why did that security guard inform us that you were playing hooky then?"
"I was just outside the gate… since I…um… was confused! Yes! Confused. I didn't know how to get inside the building, but that man assumed I was playing hooky. Which I wasn't." Technically, she was telling the truth.
"Sounds believable, I suppose. Although we didn't get a notification we would be getting a new student today. " He raised a trimmed eyebrow at her. "It's a bit strange, don't you think? Also, I couldn't help but notice, but your voice is awfully girly sounding."
Oh god.
He was on to her.
An alarm blared out, cutting through whatever excuse she was hatching up. That had been the bell, wasn't it? Kiku was out! She abruptly stood and gave a curt nod before bolting out the door.
"HEY!" the Headmaster screamed after her. She ignored him, diving into the crowd of boys flooding the hall. She glanced around for Kiku, wanting to find him before the Headmaster and his guards found her. Bodies jostled her around, making the feat of finding him quite difficult.
A douche crashed into her from behind, flinging her out of the stream of kids. She steadied herself against a locker, scowling at the mass of boys in the bigger hallway in front of her. Luckily now she was in a much more tranquil filled hall, with just a couple of people in it.
"HEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" someone screamed form the distance. The voice came closer and closer, until… she violently shoved into somebody, knocking them both down.
"Oww…"she groaned, opening her eyes to meet annoyed, honey colored ones of the one she landed on. She stared at them. Whoever was under her had beautiful eyes and long lashes. Their dark brown hair was also just as pretty, reaching to the middle of their neck.
This was either a really pretty boy or… someone who was cross dressing, just like her.
"Are you a girl?" she asked.
Mei watched as the person raised a hand… and promptly flicked her on the forehead. She jerked away from them in shock, planting a palm over where she was hit.
The person stood up, brushed themselves, and looked down at her with coldly. "No," they spoke simply, and Mei immediately knew it was not a 'she', but a 'he'.
"Oh. I'm sorry." She smiled at him sheepishly. That was a pretty embarrassing mistake.
Laughter erupted from behind them. The boy closed his eyes and said, "Yong Soo. Stop that. You were the one who pushed this person into me, weren't you?"
A boy with black hair came into a view, wiping tears from his eyes. "Sorry about that. I guess I didn't see him there." He snorted and burst into a laughing fit again. " Someone thought you were a girl! It's because you look so feminine Xiao! "
Xiao shot him an icy glare and turned back to Mei. "What are you doing here anyways? Girls aren't allowed. "
Mei grew stunned, but quickly snapped out of it. "G-girl?" she spat out in the manliest tone she could muster up and shook her head. "I-I'm not a girl! I mean, do you hear my voice?"
"It's obvious that you're a girl. You sound like one and—"He bent down, reaching out and twiddling with a strand of her REAL hair between his fingers. "—this," he finished, letting it fall on her face.
Blankly, Mei blew it away.
Crap.
What better way to get off on the right foot than assuming someone is a girl? :D
So uh, please review! As long as someone let's me know they'll be reading, I'll be continuing with this. :D
