Fratello! Fratello!
What do you want.
I'm so excited! New country, new school, new life~
Sí, sí. Now shut up. You're giving me a headache.
"Hey kid.", the teacher called me."Come here."
"Sure~", I sang and went to the front of the class."Hello there. I'm Feliciano Vargas and I'm from Italy. My hobbies are drawing, painting and enjoying life. I want to make many friends and have fun! My favorite subject is Art by the way."
"Thanks Feliciano. Now go back to your seat.", he nodded and I skipped to my and a shy Canadian kid's desk.
I can barely contain my excitement!
Dammit Feli. You're one heck of a social butterfly.
I'm sure our next class will be as nice as this one~
I hate German. Why did you take this class of all the freakin' available ones!
Ve? But it looked like fun! And besides Spanish is too easy and French is weird. Next is cooking class, your favorite~
I so hate you for his.
Love you too~ Ti-
-voglio bene. I know, I know.
No, no. Ti amo~
FELICIANO!
Yieks! Mi dispace fratello.
Argh! Class is over anyway idiota. It seems nothing interesting (not that there is something to begin with) happened.
I put my head on the desk covering my head (or more specifically my curl) and closing my eyes…
~Curl flip: Right side?Lovino~
…then opened them, letting my (now olive-golden) eyes roam around the room before slowly standing up, taking my things and running to my and Feli's locker. Here I left my German book and notebook (yuck) then to my cooking class.
"Lovino come and introduce yourself.", the teacher said and gestured to me.
"Alright.", I mumbled and did as told."Ciao. I'm Lovino Vargas and I'm from Italy. My hobbies are singing, playing a piano and cooking. My favorite subject is History."
"You can go back.", she smiled but I just scowled more and dragged my feet to my seat.
"Are you by any chance Feliciano's twin?", asked the same shy kid in Feli's class."I'm Matthew by the way."
It's your class too, ya know?
"None of your freakin' busin-", I started but was cut off by my fratello.
Be nice to him fratello.
"…Sí but we don't get along so we stay away from each other.", I mumbled.
"That's sad.", Matthew sighed."Can you hand me the sugar please?"
"Sure. Here.", I gave him the sugar and put some flour in my bowl."Sad story. Whatever. Give me those tomatoes."
"Thanks.", the Canadian smiled."Why did you fight? If you don't mind me asking."
Lovi, I don't think-
"It's because of our nonno.", I said through gritted teeth.
*sigh*
"Take this.", I growled and pushed the bowl towards him and started to cut the tomatoes.
"What are you making?", he asked.
"Pasta.", I responded and for the rest of the class I continued to cook in silence, sometimes Feli making a comment here and there.
Why did you say that?
Half of it it's true anyway.
I huffed and went to my locker again to get my things (one of the advantages of having a locker is that you have a place to leave all your crap and the disadvantage is that you have to keep coming back to it) for History then to said class.
"Hola~", a cheerful voice said from next to me. Great. Another social butterfly.
How do you know?
Just look at him.
"Piss off.", I said and opened my book.
"Who can tell us about…where did I put it…Italy?", the teacher mumbled while searching around in the desk's drawers but I saved her and started to speak about South Italy's and North's (with Feli's help) history beginning with the World Wars."Please slow down Lovino. Thank you for your help but please speak slower."
The rest of the class was spent with me speaking and the others taking notes. Outside of the class and on our way to the damn locker.
Ve~ You know so much fratello~
It's a hobby and I quote "useless, good for nothing, a waste of time".
Fratello…*sigh*Don't put yourself down.
*growl*Shut up Feli and go to your Art class.
Okay fratello.
I pulled the hood over my head and closed my eyes feeling like I was being detached from my body.
~Curl flip: left side/Feliciano~
"Lovino! You forgot your note-", Matthew said and I froze."…book."
What are we going to do?! What are we going to do?!
Shut up and leave me some of the control.
"T-thanks.", I mumbled, turned to take my notebook and tried to avoid eye contact.
"Whoa!", he gasped shocked."Your eyes!"
DAMMIT!
"One eye is olive and the other one is chocolate-golden! And you have two curls!", Matteo covered his mouth."Something's fishy here and I think you have to explain some things."
Fratello?
I think it's the time to run.
"If you think of trying to escape, bad luck.", the shy teen threatened but his soft voice couldn't be taken seriously."I can ask Alfred to hunt you down. So?"
He got us trapped.
"Alright.", I sighed and fratello covered my chocolate-golden eye and continued to speak."Do you know Romulus Vargas? The great scientist? How he did the most known experiment known as "Two-in-one. Dream or reality?". Our appearance is almost the same except our curls and eye color."
"Eh? But-What-How…", our friend stuttered.
"Since then,", I took over and covered my olive eye." we kept changing locations, schools, everything when we would be discovered." , I sniffled."I don't want to anymore."
"Shh…Don't cry.", Mat whispered and hugged us.
"Chigi!", Lovi shuddered involuntary."…Grazie."
"Thanks", I mumbled and hugged back feeling fratello leave me in full control.
"Your notebook.", he said awkwardly and gave me it back."Gotta go to Math class."
"Ciao~", I sang and went to my Art class.
"Kids.", the teacher told us to make a self-portrait or a member of our family.
Happily I started to make a sketch of Lovino wearing a small and rare smile. When I was painting it my teacher came over to me.
"Self-portrait?", she hummed."Something's weird with the palette-color or is it just me?"
"It's mio gemello, my twin.", I smiled sadly.
I continued to paint while humming.
Why did you tell him that?
What.*growl*Did you want to tell him that he couldn't protect his own daughter and that she was drugged when…
Well, you have a point.
"Ve~", I sang and accidentally spilled some blue paint on myself.
Why blue of all the damn colors? And how the hell did you manage to do this?!
I was painting the sky, ve.
"I finished.", I giggled and stood up."Can I go to clean myself?"
"Sure.", she nodded and I exited the class.
Should I go to lunch or you? Not that it really matters but still.
You go. I don't want.*grumble*And you shut up, stupid stomach.
Lunch is then~
That didn't even make sense but whatever.
I looked around but the hallway was empty but not for much time and let fratello in control.
~Curl flip: Right side/Lovino~
I left my things in our locker and ran to the rooftop.
"Argh!" ,I shouted and sat down.
What happened?
"Everything! First that kid finds out on our first damn day-"
He is in our first three classes. He was bound to find out somehow.
"-then that stupid Spaniard kept bugging me the whole History class about this and that-"
Although you liked the attention.
"-and I feel drained!", I finished with a huff.
Should we call it a day?
"Are you suggesting skipping our last two classes?", I asked the air (to someone who didn't know me) but in reality Feli.
I know for a fact that you didn't want to leave Italy. I think this is enough for a day.
"You are suggesting skipping classes!", I exclaimed a little shocked.
*sigh*I do, okay? I want fratello to feel well.
"Don't talk like I'm not here, dammit.", I grumbled but we both know what I wanted to say.
Do we call it a day, now?
"I still can't wrap my head around this but yeah." ,I sighed and exited the rooftop.
When I reached the door leading to the hallway I opened it a little and poked my head in the hallway to peek. When I was sure that nobody was there I tiptoed to the exit but when I was close to it I froze.
"Where do you think you're going?", a voice said.
"Leave him alone!", a second voice added and I slowly turned around accidentally slipping some control to Feli.
"I-I-I-I…I'm-I…", fratello stuttered,
"He got lost. We were on our way to the Infirmary.", the strawberry-blond-teen (the second voice) panted. He looked like he ran here.
"Oh yeah? Then why is he sneaking away?", the masked teen (first voice) rolled his eyes, although I couldn't see it I'm sure he did it.
"Just leave Feliciano alone. I'm serious.", the Romanian kid (the lack of accent pointed this out) growled.
"Says who? You vampire boy?", the Turkish one joked.
"Hmph!", he ignored him and instead went over to me."Come with me before Artie shows up."
"O-okay.", I replied confused (which in turn confused the other teen because of the slight change in voice) and let him drag me away.
"I'm Vlad aka the Vampire.", the boy introduced himself when we entered what I assumed it was the Infirmary."This is the Infirmary. Sorry for dragging you here but you were in trouble there with Sadik."
"Grazie mille.", Feliciano said and I covered my mouth but he didn't seem to be fazed.
"You're welcome.", Vlad smiled, his fang poking out a little.
"Well?", I asked but the different voice still didn't startle him."Aren't you gonna ask?"
"Ask? Ask what? Like how comes you are never seen together, one goes to three classes and the other one to the other three, only one was seen going to the cafeteria?", the Vampire shook his head."I know what you are…Lovino Feliciano Vargas."
I was about to retort about how he knew all of that but I just remained silent.
How does he know?!
How amIsupposed to know!
"Hm…", his eyes flashed a lighter red color before going back to the dark shade they are."Name: Lovino Feliciano Vargas; aliases: Lovino or Feliciano Vargas; age: 17 as Lovino and 15 as Feliciano; status: sane; race: A.2."
"How the hell?! Just what the heck are you?!", I asked even more confused.
"I wonder that too…", the teen sighed and looked in a mirror, his eyes flashing again."Name: unknown; aliases: Vlad or the Vampire; age: seems to be around 17; status: semi-sane; race: B.3."
"Will you respond to my damn questions?", I questioned annoyed.
"Sorry. I'm like you. When I still was in my mom's womb she was drugged.", he laughed bitterly."Artie should be here any minute."
"Who's this Ar-", I tried to get some explications but was cut off by another blond-haired teen entering the room.
"So you found him…them…bollocks.", he huffed.
"What's this damn mess!", I shouted exasperated and fratello added."Mi dispiace for fratellone."
Then they started to explain (finally) how among the students at H.W.A were some "special ones" like me and Feli: Matthew (invisibility C.4);Vlad (knowledge B.3);Arthur (fairies D.2);Antonio (emotions E.5). What the letters and numbers mean and what are their rules: A stands for personality things and 1-5 for how many with the rule being that every personality needs to be let in control on a normal basis; B for knowledge and 1-5 for how many things a person can learn without forgetting anything with the rule being that the person mustn't force herself or himself to learn more than she/he can because she/he will forget her/his own memories; C for misc. powers (like strength or invisibility) and 1-5 for how powerful it is with the rule (for invisibility) being that she/he must have a lover (as strange as it sounds) because he/she is the only one who can see the person which might start to become ignored to the point of forgetting about the existence of the person; D for magical stuff and 1-5 for how strong are the creature the person can see with the rule being that she/he must have real friends; E for emotions and 1-5 for how accurate is the person when sensing someone else's emotion with the rule being that she/he must have emotional support so they don't bottle up their emotion because they're thrown out of balance. If they break the rules they'll go insane.
"Just out of curiosity. What happened to that Antonio guy?", I wondered a little worried not that I will admit it.
"He sobbed his heart out to one of his friends.", Arthur responded with a poorly hidden smirk."well time to get home."
"Wait! After you said all of that you expect me to just go home?", I blinked surprised by how easily he changed topics.
"I won't let you go 'round the school trying to process that information.", the British teen answered."So I'll write you something from the student council for your absence."
"But-", I tried to protest but was pushed outside by the two teens with a growl of "Just go already." and "Do as told." so I followed their order (because I can't call it something else) and went home. Weird guys but interesting nonetheless.
*giggles*Fratello made friends~
Shut up Feli.
