Hi! So yeah, I got the idea for this story from an extreme want to write something Hetalia, and from an AMV about America. Anyway this is the first time I've written anything from POV so I'm not sure how good that'll turn out, but we'll see! I hope you like this. Oh and one last thing, I'm really sorry for certain characters foul mouths. I would make them not curse but then they just wouldn't be themselves. Please review! Pretty please? With a cherry on top?
If I owned Hetalia there'd be even more awesome Prussia!

Jones's house
I woke up to the bright light of the morning sun through my bedroom window. I sat up and stretched and yawned before looking at the clock. It's a little blurry without my glasses but I can still tell I slept in. "Oh crap! I thought I set my alarm last night." I muttered to myself as I pulled myself out of my bed. I grabbed one of my uniform shirts and one of the pairs of uniform pants off the floor. I sniffed the pants and decided they'd be okay for today, but I needed to do laundry this afternoon or I wouldn't have any pants for tomorrow. I pulled my shirt over my head and jumped into my pants, heading for the door at the same time, and barely avoiding falling.
I was in the hall before I remembered my shoes and my glasses. I can't believe I forgot them! I ran back into my room and put on my shoes and my glasses then went down the hall and the stairs into the kitchen.
When I got to the kitchen Amelia and Matthew were there finishing pancakes that Matthew probably made. "You're late." My big sister Amelia; happy as usual. At 18 she's only one year older than me and goes to the same school but she thinks she rules the house since my parents aren't usually here because of their jobs. She crossed her arms over her uniform-which she didn't like because she couldn't expose her mid-drift-and glared at me. "This is the fourth time this year, and we've only been in school a week! You have no excuse." Really I'm not sure why she's here anyway. Last year she asked my parents if she could live by herself in our vacation cabin we never use that's not very far outside the city.
"There's a few pancakes left if you want them." Matthew said. Matthew is my 15 year old cousin from Canada. He came to live with my family after his parents divorced three years ago. Originally it was only supposed to be for a month while they got everything settled, but in the end he had begged to stay with us and they'd given in, so he became a permanent part of my family. I've never been overly close to Amelia so it was nice to have a little brother.
"Thanks Matt!" I smothered the two remaining pancakes in syrup and then practically swallowed them whole. "Heh, you always make the best pancakes Matt!"
"Thanks." Matthew said, but it was kinda hard to hear him since he's so quiet.
"It's time to go." Amelia stomped out the door, grabbing her purse and the keys to her motorcycle on the way. I still don't think it's fair she got a motorcycle and a car, while I only got a car.
I looked at Matt "Ready to go?"
"Yes." He stood up and picked his backpack up.
"Okay then!" I picked up my backpack too and then we went to my car.
12:08pm
Washington International High School-Cafeteria
I sat down at my usual table where Matthew and some of the others were already eating. Being the big expensive private school it is, my school has a bunch of ambassador's kids in it, and I've made a point to try and be friends with all of them! Right now Arthur Kirkland, the English or British or whatever ambassador's 17 year old kid is sitting across from Matt, fighting with Francis Bonnefoy, who is the French ambassador's 17 year old son, and he is sitting next to Matt. But that's nothing new; the two of them always fight. Kiku Honda is the son of the Japanese ambassador and is a year older than me. He's sitting next to Arthur watching them fight like always. Next to him is Feliciano Vargas, who is loud fun, loves pasta, and is one of the three children of the Italian ambassador. He's a year younger than me. Currently he's shoving pasta down his throat and trying to talk to Ludwig –the youngest son of the German ambassador, who is his best friend and sitting next to him-about girls, but Ludwig is ignoring him and focusing on eating. A little farther down is Yao Wang from China; he is my age and likes to cook. Then there's Ivan Braginski who is eating and trying to hide from his creepy younger sister Natalia who is looking for him.
"Oh, hello Alfred." Kiku said in his normal polite way.
"Yo Kiku, how's it goin?" That reminds me of another reason I like hanging around these guys: their accents.
"I am well Alfred, how are you?" Kiku has always been I nice guy but he's way too polite. I need to figure out how to break him of that habit.
"Heheh, all cool here dude!" I took a big bite of my sandwich.
"F*** off you b******! Go sit somewhere else!" It's Lovino, no doubt about it. With his Italian accent and foul mouth you could tell it's him from a mile away. Lovino is the oldest of the Italian three being a year older than I am.
"Ha-ha, calm down Lovi, let's just pick a seat." That is Antonio the Spanish ambassador's 18 year old son. He's Lovino's best friend, I think they've known each other for a long time, but I'm not really sure how they met.
"Hey Toni, hey Lovi!"
"Oh, hello Alfred!" Toni called back in his friendly way.
"Don't call me that!" Lovino shouted at me.
"But you let Toni do it!" All he could do to that was grumble before sitting across from his brother. I so won that one! Toni sat on his other side.
"Antonio!" Caterina Vargas the middle Italian, also Toni's girlfriend, ran up with her plate of food and sat next to him. "You jerk; you could have waited for me!" The girl sounded just like a female version of her older brother.
"Shut up b****, you shoulda got her earlier!" I'm not really sure how Toni can stand being around the two of them all the time.
"Caterina!" Elizabeta Héderváry is best friends with Caterina and is the daughter of the Hungarian ambassador. She was dragging along her Austrian boyfriend, Roderich Edelstein, who is kinda uppity.
"Hi Lizzy!" Caterina ignored Lovino's current string of curses and began chatting happily with Liz. Rod just sat across from her grumpily. Or maybe it's snobbishly, I'm not sure.
But by now the table was almost filled, the whole group of us has never been able to fit at one table anyway, and it's just first come, first serve.
"Hey, Al!" I stopped eating for a minute and looked up to see Gilbert walking towards me. He's my age and in most of my classes, and we're friends. He's also Ludwig's older brother, and even though Ludwig pretends he hates Gilbert, it's obvious, even to me, that that's not true.
"Hey Gil!" He sat in the seat beside me and ignored the look Lovino gave him.
"The awesome me is here, with my not so awesome food." I looked at his food and I could tell he got the stuff they scrape off the bottom of the containers and throw together, then pretend it's actually edible.
"Ugh man that's nasty."
"Give me some of your food!" He reached for what remained of my hamburger which I quickly shoved into my mouth.
"Ah-uh. Sorry, I don't give my burgers to anyone!"
"Yeah I know."
I noticed Heracles Karpuci come up with a plate of food and sit next to Arthur. He fingered his food a little bit before starting to eat it. I knew it would only be a matter of time before he's asleep. Actually he pretty much sleeps through everything. I have absolutely no idea how he passes his classes with such good grades, unless it's all the philosophy he's into.
The last two spots at the table were shortly occupied by Basch Zwingli who's the kid of the ambassador from Switzerland, and Bella the daughter of the Belgian ambassador. Basch never, and I mean never, takes sides in any fight except his own, unless of course his side just happens to be the same as someone else's. Bella is friendly with everyone, but especially with the other girls. Lovino flirted with her once, but after she responded by kissing his cheek he started trying to avoid her. I think it's kinda funny!
Just after I had finished eating my hamburger Toni started trying to say something, but nobody except the people directly around him. He kept trying until Ludwig took mercy on him. He stood up and slammed his hands into the table, shaking everything on it, and startling everyone except Gil. I guess he's used to it. "EVERYBODY SHUT UP! ANTONIO IS TRYING TO SPEAK!" I wonder if he just enjoys yelling at people…
"Aheheh, thanks Ludwig." Toni said cheerfully and stood up. "Any of you guys still here after the sports practice this afternoon is done can come to my house for a swimming party! Tell the others too when you see them. That's all I wanted to say!" I guess it's a sort of back to school party? I guess it doesn't really matter why though, I love parties! And judging by the other guys who will probably still be here after the sports meet today's chatter, so do they.
3:56 pm
Washington International High school-Football field
So today was our first meet since tryouts a week earlier. Naturally I'm the quarterback, I mean who else could they pick? I'm the strongest, and fastest out of us, so of course I'm the best for the position. Gil and Ludwig are both on the team this year-due to my encouragement-even though they know little about football. They are getting better though. Other than us three, the only person from our little "important international political kids" group thing, is the kid from Denmark, Mathias. He's strong, and has pretty much figured football out since he was on the team last year too, so he's pretty good. His best friends usually hang out in the bleachers and watch him. There's Tino from Finland, Berwald from Sweden, Emil from Iceland, and Lukas from Norway. Berwald is standing there, in the somewhat disturbing way he does, behind Tino who is sitting nervously in the stands, Lukas seems to be pestering Emil about something.
"So, American, you ready to get beat at your own game by the awesomeness of me?!" Gil stood threateningly over one of the smaller, younger, backup players, who seemed to be so nervous he was almost shaking. He's definitely one of those little spoiled rich kids who wanted to be cool so he joined the football team. But of course maybe Gil's strange hair and eye color has something to do with it too.
"Idiot, you won't be beating him, he's on your team!" Ludwig told his big brother. He seems to get easily annoyed.
"Actually, you might be today." Mathias said.
"What?"
"Yeah they make mini teams out of us during practice sometimes and we play like that." I said as I noticed the little guy that Gil had been intimidating slink off from the corner of my eye.
"So…What exactly do we do?" Ludwig asked me.
"You guys didn't watch the videos I emailed you?"
"Yeah! We awesomely smash people while throwing a weird looking ball around!" Well, at least Gilbert seems…enthusiastic.
At this point we were distracted from our little conversation by the sound of squealing girls. Probably the cheerleaders. My sister Amelia is on the cheer squad as well as the softball team, and she told me that they were short on male cheerleaders this year so I decided to help them out and recruit some guys to help them out. It took forever to find someone but finally the guy from Poland, Feliks, said he would do it, and he practically dragged his friend Toris from Lithuania into it. Amelia wasn't too happy that some of my foreign friends were on the squad but she said "We need guys, so I guess I can deal." Pfff. I still don't know what she has against them.
I hadn't looked at the cheerleaders when I heard Mathias and Gilbert start snorting then snickering then straight out laughing, while Ludwig groaned and covered his eyes. When I looked to see what was so funny I didn't see it at first. "What's so funny guys?" All I saw was a bunch of cheerleaders.
"Can you not see Feliks?" Mathias asked me. I looked closer at the approaching cheerleaders and noticed one of the blond haired girls was actually a certain blond haired boy named Feliks. Actually he looks surprisingly good in a miniskirt. I feel kinda sorry for Toris though, who's just a few steps behind him in his male cheerleader uniform and looking very embarrassed.
"Hey guys, do I look, like, fabulous in my uniform or what?" Feliks asked when they reached us.
"Heh, you look fine…for a girl!" Mathias snorted.
"Why are you in a girl's uniform?" I asked him.
"Elizabeta said it'd be, like, a cool idea, ya know?"
"I asked him not to." Toris said quietly.
"Like, relax bro, it's only for today." I caught Amelia rolling her eyes at me from amidst a group of her girlfriends.
"So did you guys hear about Antonio's party?" I asked.
"Yeah, we'll totally be there!"
"Mm-hmm, Berwald and Tino can't go, but me, and Lukas and Emil can." Mathias said.
"I'll be there, couldn't miss out on one of my less awesome bud's parties!" Gil is a good friend of mine, but is also part of a little gang that's made up of him, Antonio, and Francis. Originally they had called themselves "the good friends trio" but after everyone in the school knew they were responsible for most of the pranks pulled in the school, they were dubbed "the bad friends trio" then when they also started to gang up on girls and flirt with them, and to beat up random guys, everyone started calling them "the bad touch trio." Whatever.
"How do you plan to get there, brother?" Ludwig said, somewhat sarcastically. It's not that the two boy's can't drive, it's just their parents-like many of the other's-weren't going to let them until they were of legal driving age in their native country.
Gilbert's face fell "I…uh…I'll just, uh…" he stuttered.
"You guys can ride with me and Matt!" Since Matt's on the hockey team he's still here too. "But we'll be sure not to leave until after soccer practice is out." Most of the other guys are on the soccer team, and one time we got to the house hosting the party before the actual kid who owned the house got there and he hadn't told his housekeeper that he was having a party, so she called the police on us. It was a long night of explanations after that, and ever since we've been careful not to get there before the host.
"Oh hey, do you like, have room for Toris and me too?"
"Haha! I'm sure we can squeeze you in somewhere!"
"Thank you Alfred." Toris spoke up. Just then the coach walked towards us blowing his whistle, followed by a yelling cheerleader coach.
6:02pm
Washington International High school-parking lot
Practice was tough today. Gil and Ludwig were pretty funny to watch though. They got confused so many times, and that poor little guy that Gil had threatened earlier got his promised beating when Gil spotted him during one of the plays. The poor guy was on the same team and everything, but when Gil saw him, he tackled him, then pinned him to the ground and started punching him, before realizing that the guy had already dropped the ball. The coach, Ludwig, Mathias, and another guy all had to drag Gil off the poor little dude. The little guy was obnoxious, and arrogant, and had it coming though.
"Which one is your car?" Toris asked me.
I looked around for a minute before spotting my blue convertible, then I pointed at it. "That's it there."
"Oh wow, it's very nice." Toris said, running his hand over the smooth blue paint.
"Yeah I know!"
"Get in!" Feliks shouted at him before opening the passenger door and shoving him into it.
"H-hey, Feliks, I-I don't think I should-"
"Of course you should!"
"Oh great, the awesome me shouldn't have to sit in a back seat." Gilbert complained as he climbed in followed by Ludwig and Feliks.
"Hahaha, dude, relax!" I slid my hand over the white apulstery in my car, then put the key in and let the top down. I revved up my car and we were off! The streets were busy, but I don't really care! If you live your life all worked up about these things then you'll never be happy! I wish Amelia would realize that. It would make my life so much easier. We'd been stuck at the same red light for about five minutes before I decided to turn on some music. I opened the compartment I keep it in and flipped through some CDs. I got to the most recent Toby Mac CD and stopped. It's not like I'm a big time Christian or anything (Just in case you're wondering or worried, this probably has no real importance in the story, but I'm a Christian plus it's a little tribute to the original Americans), but I do go to church sometimes, and sometimes (more often than church) I listen to Christian music. Toby Mac is one of my favorites. Even my sister who hates Christian music likes his music.
I popped the CD in and Toris looked at my choice interestedly. "Toby Mac? I don't think I've heard of him. But then I'm still fairly new to American music."
"Yeah he's cool." I thumped my hands on the steering wheel to the beat as the traffic started moving again.
"He's some Christian guy, but I don't guess he's too bad." Gilbert spoke up from the back. He'd heard his songs before when he'd rode with me.
"It's got a nice beat." Feliks commented nodding his head to it.
I turned the music up full blast and started singing with it as it reached the chorus
"And where would I be~, without you?
I'd be packin' my bag when I need to stay,
I'd be chasin' every breeze that blows my way,
I'd be buildin' my kingdom just to watch it fade,
Away~,
It's true,
That's me without you-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
That's me without you-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
That's me without you-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
Don't know where I'd be~, without you!"
I'mpretty sure everyone liked it, but it's not like it really matters since it's my car. But anyway after a few more songs we arrived at Antonio's house. Most of the athletic kids had shown up; Bella, Elizabeta, Caterina, and Lin Yi Ling from Taiwan, are all on the girls volleyball team and they all showed up, then there's Antonio of course, Feliciano, Lovino, Francis, Kaoru from Hong Kong, and Yong Soo Im from South Korea. Then there's also Mathias, Lukas, and Emil. Arthur is on the soccer team too but couldn't make it because of something or another with his little brother, and Ivan is on the Hockey team but his sister drives him and his little sister around- "Oh my God! Hockey! Matt! I left Matt!"
"What?" Antonio asked me.
"I left Matt at school! I forgot him! Oh man, this is not good. How could I do that to him!"
"Poor little Mathew, what a horrible brother you are." Francis admonished me.
Right then the door bell rang and Antonio ran to get it. He opened the door "Hello?"
Amelia was standing there, staring him down. Then she stepped sideways and pushed Matt in. "Tell Alfred he forgot something." Then she turned and walked off "He's lucky my motorcycle's a two seater." She muttered getting on her motorcycle and driving away.
"I'm so sorry Matt! I didn't mean to!" I ran over to Matt, but he just shrugged it off. Sadly this isn't the first time this has happened.
8:00pm
Antonio Carriedo's house
"Al, I think we need to go." Matt told me quietly. I looked away from my soda and at my watch.
"Oh man, you're right we need to get home before mom and dad!" I stood up from my position on the couch and waved to the other guys on my way to the door. "Bye guys, see you later, the party was awesome Toni!"
"Yes, thank you for inviting us, it was fun." Matt said following me."
"Hey Al wait for us!" Gil shouted and ran after me followed by Ludwig.
I paused for a second in my walk towards the door "Hey Toris, Feliks, I can't take both of you but if one of you want, you can still ride with me."
They looked at each other for a second then Toris said "Well, I kind of need to be home as quickly as possible…"
"Go ahead then." Feliks said waving him off. "I'll like, be fine. See you tomorrow."
"Uh, ok then." Toris stood up and walked to the door where I was waiting. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah."
The five of us piled into my car, with Matt beside me this time, and I drove off. First I stopped at Toris's house which was the closest one, then at Gilbert and Ludwig's house. After that Matt and I went home. Amelia wasn't there, so I assumed she's back at her cabin. It's just not fair. I was perfectly happy to crawl into my bed after a long day of school, sports, and an awesome party.
Feliks
8:43pm
Carriedo's street
So after Al left and took all those other guys with him the party started to wind down. By eight thirty most of the others had left too, and at eight forty Toni said we all had to go because his parents would be home soon, and they had told him we all had to be gone. So now here I am outside his house. It's dark and I've got the nervous feeling, and nobody could give me a ride home or walk to my house with me. I usually don't mind this kind of thing, but for some reason it's really scary to me tonight… Oh well I guess it's just me. Nothing's going to happen. So let's go…
I don't know. It's really dark in the direction I have to go. I'm kinda scared to leave the light outside Toni's house. I looked around. There's nobody around. Everyone else has already left, and this expensive neighborhood doesn't get much traffic at night, since non residents can only visit with permission. I guess I should get started. I looked down at my feet and then back at the street. Slowly I started to walk, and I wondered if I would feel better if I had worn something darker. Of course I never would! My fabulous pink shirt makes me feel more confident, and is especially great for parties.
As I walked in the dark I slowly started to feel better. Really I don't know what was wrong with me. This neighborhood is totally safe and mine isn't far from here.
"Feliks Łukasiewicz." Confidence is gone. But of course I can't show whoever is behind me that.
"What?" I turned towards the voice. Unfortunately I was facing towards the light and all I could really tell was that it was someone with hair that went to around their shoulders. I crossed my arms irretatedly, trying to suppress my growing fear.
"Good." A feminine sounding voice said before the woman lunged at me. Before I could move or make any sounds she had tackled me to the ground and shoved a stinky cloth in my face. I tried to fight back but as I did I could feel my attempts growing weaker. I think it's something to do with how this cloth smells. Maybe its drugged or something.
"Wh-what…are…you…" I attempted to ask as my vision blacked out, and the world around me seemed to float away.
Wow, this is the longest chapter I've ever written! Anyway I have quite a few first with this! It's my first, first person veiw point, and somewhat present time thingy. It's also the first time I've put a song in, and my first Hetalia story! And now I beg you for reviews! Please, Please, review! Even if you just say cool, or stupid or something. Please! Oh, and I actually did forget about Canada during that one part... ^^; so embarasing... sorry Canada.
