Ch. 1: An Unexpected Friendship Forms

Madeline Williams, or more commonly known as Maddie, gave a long and tired sigh. She had just gotten out of her Algebra 2 math class. Books were piled high in her arms.

Why must Mr. Honda give us so much homework?Maddie thought as she left the classroom.

And now I'm late for class because he wanted to talk to me, she noted as the final bell rang. That's not a good way to start on my first day here at Hetalia High. Maddie's blond wavy hair fell into her violet-blue eyes as she watched her feet, making sure not to fall.

Just then, someone ran into her knocking her books out of her hands and onto the floor. Out of reflex, she bent down to pick them up, not looking at the stranger.

"Yo, dudette. Sorry, I didn't see you there," the man said bending down to help.

"It's okay. I wasn't watching where I was going," Maddie said softly, still not looking at the man.

"You sure? I could repay you somehow. I could, uh, take you to your next class or somethin'," he said. Maddie blushed slightly at this. "What class d'ya have next um..."

"Maddie."

"Maddie. I'll be more than happy to take you to..."

"Composition."

"Really? I have that class, too! What grade ya in?" he asked.

"Um, I'm in ninth," Maddie said glancing up for the first time at the man. He had wheat blonde hair - just a fuzz lighter than Maddie's - and spectacular blue eyes. He, like Maddie, also had glasses perched onto his nose.

"No way! Me too!" the man said giving Maddie her last book. "Jeez, what class ya come from? That's a lot of work to do."

"I came from Mr. Honda's Algebra 2 class," Maddie said. The man gave her a confused look.

"But Kiku always gave me light work. Not any of this stuff," he said.

"I'm a new student, that might be part of it," Maddie explained looking at the books once again.

"Yeah- wait. You're new? I coulda sworn I saw ya 'round here some time ago."

"Yeah, I'm new. You might've seen me when I was touring the school a few days ago," Maddie said.

"True. That could be. Anyway, here, let me take these," he said taking away Maddie's books, carrying them in his arms.

"Thank you, um..."

"Oh yeah! I haven't introduced myself yet! Please call me Jones. Alfred Jones," Alfred said smiling.

"Alright. Thank you, Alfred," Maddie said returning the smile.

"No prob, Maddie. It's the least I could do. A hero always helps a lady in distress," Alfred laughed making Maddie smile.

You know, Maddie thought as she and Alfred walked to their shared composition class, I just might be able to get by this year with out having him ruin it. Maddie smiled happily at this thought.

We are back with another co-written story! This is all written by me, though. DTKIH is telling me what to write and basically, it's all her idea. She just wants me to put it down. I'm a nice big sis, aren't I?... Anywho, I'll try to update as soon as possible. So yeah... Till next time~ Love-Peace-Anime
