Nina's Pov
I was sitting in the history classroom, waiting for class to start. Every this was great so I didn't mind waiting. I was sitting next to the greatest boyfriend on the planet, Fabian, and the mystery is OVER! Now, it's just a calm year. Mr. Winkler walked in and smiled;
"Morning' class!"
"Good morning Mr. W" we all mummed back
"Well, today, we are starting a new project. Has anyone heard on Model U.N?" he asked
I was the only one who raised my hand
"Nina! Please, explain!" he laughed
"Well, it was really popular back home. Everyone got a country, I was Switzerland, and you took care of the country. You made sure you had food, had an adequate economy, and if you needed to, go into war" a couple of the guys in the class clapped at the 'go into war' part
"Very good, Nina!" Mr. W praised "We will be having a model U.N fair this week! Today, I'm going to be assigning the countries. Don't be scared, they're fairly easy ones! Then, you'll have to research that country tonight and tomorrow classes will be canceled. Go straight to the field outside. Come with anything you have or can get off line tonight that can represent your country at your table tomorrow" everyone looked very over whelmed, including me. Back home, we had a week "Here we go;
Fabian you have Iceland
Nina; America" everyone started to chuckle, what a surprise. At least this year it will be easy to get an "A"
"Fix!" Jerome chuckled
"Anyway;" Jason proceeded
Jerome; Brazil
Alfie; Sweden
Mara; Argentina
Patricia; South Africa
Mick; France… Oh, Amber, it's seems I forgot to assign you a country…" his voice faded
"What? Then what am I?" she squealed
"Well, there's only one option. It's not a country, but, if you have a good imagination, it could be a good laugh! You'll get full credit for trying no matter what you do for to!" he smiled
"What is it?" she raised one eyebrow
Mr. W motioned for Amber to come to him. She got up and he whispered something to her;
"I'm The MOON?" she screamed
The whole class burst into laughter as Amber just sat down and moped
I kind of faded out after the House had been given their assignment, I had and easy assignment. All I had to do was talk about home and pretend I was the president. The others had to actually research their countries. Fabian had to research Reykjavik, Amber is trying to invent a way to represent the Moon, Jerome has to become Tarzan, Alfie is attempting to make Swiss chocolate, Mara is finding out what makes Argentina tick, Patricia is becoming and African Queen and Mick is trying to make a classic French supper!
I don't know how well that last one is going to go over…
The next day we walked out to the fields. There were rows of tables with pieces of white tape telling what country goes where. They were separated by continent; on the far let was North America, then South America, then Europe, Asia and Africa. Amber had her own little table and the farthest end of the field with a little sign that read 'Moon'. I chuckled as I watch Amber trudge to her isolation space table.
I walked over to my table that was labeled 'U.S.A' and I plopped my bag down onto the table once I sat down on the tan metal seat they had set up at each booth. I started to set up with little American flags and a red white and blue beanie baby I had when Mr. W tapped into the mic that was set up at the far end of the field, near where Amber was.
"Good morning, students!" he sounded way to excited "Remember, the most successful country, wins extra credit on their final mark. I'll be walking around watching the action so just remember to try your best!"
Once he stopped talking, I laid out all the papers I had printed last night about the American way of life on the table, pinned an my American flag pin I made when I was in girl scouts and then left to go visit Fabian.
Once I got to the row labeled Europe I went down the line until I saw the unbelievable. I saw Fabian with another girl. He had his arm around her and they were laughing like they've known each other for years. It was time to take drastic measures. I stomped up the mic and tapped it.
"Ahem, excuse me?" I asked
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me;
"The United States declares war on Iceland"
