Oblivious

Summary

Many of the boys at Hetalia High have fallen for Madeline Williams. Her overprotective twin brother makes sure they get nowhere near her, and she has no idea what's going on behind her back. What happens when a certain red-eyed Prussian worms his way into her heart?

A/N: Well, guys, this is my first story. I typed it last night, so it should be good, but I need to hurry with uploading because I need to get on the bus soon. Please review? :)

Edit: 12/30/12- You don't need to reread this chapter if it sends you an alert.

"Hey, Maddie!" called Elizaveta, waving Madeline over to the seat next to her. Madeline sat down, said a quick "Thank you." and surveyed the room. As usual, Ludwig was blushing as he talked to Feliciano, who didn't notice the tint of red as he chattered on. Madeline leaned over and whispered to Elizaveta. "Have they gotten together yet?"

"No. I don't see why, though! Maybe it's because Feli doesn't know that Ludwig likes him as more than a friend?

"That seems likely. Any other news?"

"Well, Francis was slapped by three different girls within half an hour."

Madeline stifled a laugh. "Who did he try to flirt with?"

"Let me think... There was Natalia, Alice, and Katyusha finally got sick of his nonsense. Oh, and he was threatened at gunpoint for getting too close to Lili."

"You'd think that he would've learned by now." Madeline shook her head.

"He just can't get it through his thick skull."

"Hey, do you think that Alice knows my brother likes her?"

"Nah, he hides it too well. Oh! And I got pictures of Kiku and Heracles together~" Elizaveta smirked. "He doesn't know I did, so don't tell him."

"I won't. And have you noticed how Lovino acts around Antonio?"

"Yes! He pretends to hate Antonio, but you can see him blush if you look."

"And 'Toni doesn't even try to hide it."

"It's so cute~"

The bell rang and they looked towards the front of the room. "Okay, class, this is the new student. Gilbert, introduce yourself." The teacher nodded towards the back of the room. A boy in a black-and-white jacket stood up. "When did he get there?!" Elizaveta whispered. He had been sitting right behind the pair.

"...And put your hood down." finished the teacher." The boy, Gilbert, grinned cheekily and reached up, flipping his hood back. Madeline held in a gasp when she saw the color of his hair. It was a bright silver color, and when she looked down at his face, ruby-red eyes sparkled mischeviously.

"Mein Name ist Gilbert Beilschmidt, und ich zog hier aus Ost-Deutschland. Die unawesome Ludwig ist mein Cousin." He nodded towards Ludwig, who shook his head as if he was saying, "There's no hope for him."

The teacher sighed in exasperation. "In English, please."

Gilbert repeated his introduction. "My name is Gilbert Beilschmidt, and I just moved here from East Germany. The unawesome Ludwig is my cousin."

"Now that that's done, time for the lesson..."

Madeline groaned as her brother ranted on. "I don't like the look of him, he looks like a demon. He's got to be trouble..."

She smiled slightly and pulled her hood over her head. Madeline slipped her earbuds up the sleeve of her jacket and put them in. Now all she could hear from her twin was a slight whispering under the sound of her favorite songs.* Alfred poked Madeline in the arm. "Maddie. Maddie. Maddie."

"What?" With a practiced motion, she pulled her earbuds out and turned to her brother.

"Will you stay away from that new guy?" Alfred looked at her pleadingly.

"How am I supposed t do that? He does sit right behind me."

"Um.." he shrugged. Madeline giggled and smacked Alfred on the top of his head. "Doofus." She saw Elizaveta standing halfway down the hall, mouthing something and motioning wildly. "There's Elizaveta, I'd better go catch up to her." Madeline to her friend. "What is it?"

"Gilbert was watching you talk to your brother. He looked a little hurt. What did the idiot say?"

"He asked me to stay away from Gilbert, after ranting about how he "looked like a demon" and "had to be trouble."

"That idiot!" Elizaveta whisked through her combination and got her frying pan out of her locker.**

"Alfred had better run..." thought Madeline, watching Elizaveta creep up behind Alfred.

CLANG!

Elizaveta dashed into the girls' bathroom, hoping to stay out of trouble.

"He had it coming.." mumbled Madeline, watching her twin wobble around like a moron.

"Would you mind coming with me, mon cher?" asked Francis.*** Madeline didn't hesitate in raising her hand and giving him a resounding slap. Francis raised a hand to his cheek, looking completely shocked. Madeline swirled around and walked to the bathroom that Elizaveta had hidden in. She barely managed to make in inside before she burst into laughter. Natalia, who was standing at the sink, gave her an odd look and walked out.

"What's so funny?" asked Elizaveta, peeking out from inside a bathroom stall.

"Francis.." gasped Madeline, almost crying because she was laughing so hard. Elizaveta waited until Madeline calmed down, then asked, "What happened?"

"Francis walked up to me and said, "Would you mind coming with me, mon cher?" So I slapped him and he stood there looking like an idiot. He probably hasn't moved!"

Elizaveta looked out into the hall. "He's still standing there!" she laughed, her face turning red. After the girls calmed down, they walked into the halls, pretending they hadn't done anything. Madeline walked with Elizaveta to the room that they had their club in, then said, "I can't come today, I've got hockey practice."

"That's okay!" Elizaveta replied. "I'd better get to come to your next game, though."

"You can. It's next Saturday at the rink by that Italian restaurant."

"I'll be there." She slipped into the room, yelling, "Kiku, you better not be starting without me!"

Madeline ran to the locker rooms and changed into the practice uniform. She laced up her skates and walked out onto the ice. Madeline skated in circles around the arena, picking up speed until she skidded to a stop next to the rest of the team. "Nice of you to join us." commented the coach.

"Thank you." Madeline bowed dramatically.

"Our next game is against the Waterville Warriors. Can anyone tell me their main strategy?"

Marie**** raised her hand. "They're sneaky, they pretend that they're going to do something, then they do something completely different."

"That's right. Everyone, keep your guard up while we're playing against them. Ivan, Madeline, Berwald, Lukas, Tino, Willow****, you're on one team, Marie, Natalia, Ari, Eduard, Soren, Quentin****, you're the other team. "

The coach blew the whistle and the "two" teams skated to their respective sides of the rink. Soren and Berwald crouched in front of the goals, and the coach yelled, "GO!"

She threw the puck into the middle of the rink. Madeline watched the other team prepare, then skated towards the puck and smacked it towards the goal. Skating after it, she shouldered past Eduard and hit it into the net behind Soren. The normally calm and polite Madeline was definitely one of the most aggressive hockey players in the school. Her team cheered when the Soren failed to keep it away from the goal.

Ari facepalmed and hissed, "Remind me why you're here, please."

"Because she is on the team!" Soren whispered back,

"You could just, I don't know, watch the practice and say you're waiting for us?!"

"Good point, but I need to finish the season..."

"Soren."

"What?"

"Shut up."

The coach said, "If Misters Steilsson and Anderson have finished flirting, we can continue."

"Sorry!" They yelled back, Ari blushing a bright shade of red.

The practice continued, and Madeline's team won by a long shot. This led to more cheering from Madeline's team, and Soren being yelled at by Ari. Alfred came in and walked Madeline home, chattering about something probably completely random the whole way home. Madeline listened for about two seconds before she popped her earbuds in and listened to her Vocaloid playlist. When they reached home, Madeline abandoned her twin on the doorstep and ran upstairs to her room. Flopping backwards onto her bed, Madeline dialed Elizaveta's phone number.

"Whatcha doing?"

"You won't believe this, but.. Roderich is at my house."

*She has an iPod in her jacket pocket.

**How she got it in her locker, or the school, is beyond me. But no surprises, considering that Natalia carries around knives. O.o

***When I was first typing this up, I almost put Ludwig there... O.o WTF?

****Minnesota, Willow, and Quebec OCs respectively. I have South Carolina too! :D
