'ello everyone! This is my first time writing a fanfiction. I hope it's readable/understandable enough. Let me know if this format is too confusing to read. Hopefully I published it correctly...

Disclaimer: Hetalia doesn't belong to me. It belongs to Himaruya.

Oh, but Mexico is an original character, since there isn't an official one yet.

Chapter 1: My name is Elena

I stood outside the gates of World Academy, the new school I transferred to for this year. The school looks fancy, and the campus is really huge! It's still early in the morning, but there are students already gathered. So I patted my school uniform, took a deep breath, and entered.

No one has noticed me yet. Which is good, because I wasn't ready yet. I don't know why, but I always get slightly nervous when meeting new people.

As I walked up the stairs, a few people turned. One of them winked at me. I quickened my pace until I finally reached the office.

"Hello. How may I help you?" The staff lady tried her best to smile.

I thought to myself she must not like her job. "Hi, I'm new here."

"Name."

"Elena Rosa Alvarado Duarte."

"Here's your schedule." She handed it to me without taking her eyes of the computer.

"Thank you."

The moment I walked out of the office I crashed into something soft and warm. I took a step back. Oh no! It wasn't something. It was someone! A tall student wearing a coat and a pink scarf. "Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going."

He moved his head down to look at me. "You're a new student, da?" He had a childlike smile.

"Y-yeah. I'm Elena." Not knowing what else to do, I extended my hand out. He extended his too and we shook hands.

"Ivan." He then moved aside to let me pass.

"Thanks."

When I turned to look back he was already inside the office. As I continued walking through the halfway, I tried to guess Ivan's heritage. At the end I decided he must be Russian. Then something caught my attention.

There was another student in the hallway walking from the opposite direction. He had wavy blond hair with the line parted in the middle. He smiled. I recognized him immediately as the student who winked at me.

I pretended not to notice. Please don't approach me. Please don't approach me. Please don't a-

"Bonjour Mademoiselle." (Good morning/Hello Miss)

Darn it. I guess saying something three times doesn't always work. I smiled politely, "Hi."

"Bienvenue! Welcome to World Academy." He then handed me a red rose which I had no choice but to accept.

"Uh, thank you."

Happy with the respond, he continued walking off to his direction. I just stood there trying to figure out what to do with the rose that the French guy gave me. I guess I could find an empty classroom and put it in a vase. I still had time anyway.

At the end of the hallway I turned left, and chose a random classroom to enter. Except this classroom wasn't empty at all. There was a student with dark brown hair sitting at the back of the classroom. He appeared to be writing a letter.

It couldn't be homework, because today was the first day of school. He noticed me.

I felt silly standing at the entrance with a rose in my hand. Not wanting to give him the wrong idea, I blurted out, "Is there a vase here?"

"Oh yes, I'll get it out for you." He disappeared into the back of the classroom. The door was half open and I could see he already found a vase and was adding some water to it. "Here you go."

"Thank you." I put the rose in and set it on the front desk with the pile of books and stacks of papers.

"By the way, I'm Antonio. Senior year student."

Senior year? I was actually speaking with a senior year student. "Elena. Sophemore and transfer student."

"So you're new here. Where did you transferred from?"

"Mexico."

His eyes brightened at this and he put an arm around me. "Then we're buddies already. You can count on me if you need help in anything."

Before I could say anything the door opened and another student walked in. He had brown hair too, but he looked kinda grumpy. He must be a friend of Antonio because Antonio immediately ran over to him and hugged him. Okay maybe best friends.

"Lovino! You have to meet our new friend. She transferred from Mexico."

Wow, we just met and he already considered me a friend. I walked over to them. "Hi."

Lovino turned to me, "Hey."

"Aww, group hug." Antonio got in the middle, put his arms around us and hugged. I was trying not to lose my balance.

Lovino pushed his arm away, "Antonio, enough with the hugs! And you're going to end up suffocating her."

Antonio looked slightly confused. "What's wrong?"

"We're going to be late to class! That's what's wrong."

The bell rang. We where already late. And on the first day of school.

End of Chapter One. Yeah, not a very interesting tittle for the story...
