In his life Lovino had learned there were many types of people, each person could easily be grouped into two categories. The first category was full of people who were nice and would help you, wouldn't be mean to you, not completely perfect but not at all a bad person. The second category were all the people that tripped you and were all out jerks. Lovino didn't know which group he was in, neither he guessed. He wasn't a bad person but he wasn't a nice person either. Heck, he didn't even find himself a useful person. He only had two friends, twins named Matthew and Alfred, that pretty much showed nobody wanted to be around him. Alfred acted completely stupid and was stuffing his face half the time and Matthew was too scared to talk to anyone and once in a blue moon voiced his own opinions instead of agreeing with someone else in the conversation. Lovino loved them dearly for putting up with his useless ass but it didn't help. Lovino Vargas would always be the grumpy, stupid, gay, unlikeable - lots of bad things - older twin brother of Feliciano Vargas. Feliciano, the perfect angel who never got picked on for being gay when Lovino did, who never had any problems talking to Ludwig and actually got him to be his boyfriend (Lovino used to have a crush on the German boy before that happened, now he didn't know what to think...). That stupid Feli that couldn't do a damn thing wrong.
Lovino hated his brother sometimes. Most of the time he didn't, Feli didn't mean to be perfect he just... was ...
It was Friday the 13th, for some stupid ass reason this was the first day of Lovino's Freshmen year of high school. He was standing in the still warm September air praying for the weekend even though summer had only just ended yesterday and he hadn't stepped foot in his school in his life. He also prayed that Alfred and Matthew would be on his bus again, they always were but Lovino was scared, he didn't want to sit alone...
"Fratello isn't this exciting!" Feli chattered "I hope Ludwig and I have some classes together and you and me, I hope all the teachers are nice-"
Lovino put in his headphones to cut off his brother.
He didn't want to sit next to his brother either. Why start of high school as his little brother's shadow?
About 6 minutes later the bus pulled up in front of the boy's home. Their grandfather waved goodbye to them (he had taken them in when their parents abandoned them when they were very young) he looked a lot like Feli. Lovino growled with the annoyance and stepped onto the bus, his face paled a bit. Alfred and Matthew weren't on the bus... He took a seat at the very front hoping desperately his friends would get on.
Instead at the new stop Carlos Perez got on the bus. Carlos was a Cuban who seemed to like hitting people more than talking. Lovino quickly looked down trying to avoid being spotted, he knew Carlos didn't like him, not a lot of people liked him if he hadn't mentioned it before. It didn't work.
Carlos was a bad person in Lovino's opinion. He was nice to Matthew, he hated Alfred's guts...and he had some sort of a twisted reason to try to make Lovino's life a living hell. Don't ask Lovino what he did, he didn't know. Maybe him existing at all was what caused so many people to dislike him.
Carlos yanked the Italian's earbuds out of his ears, Lovino flinched, that had hurt a lot more than you'd think.
"I was talking to you Lovino" Carlos growls angrily
"Sorry" Lovino looks down leave me alone you fucking bastard I don't have time for you
"Listen carefully you little twit" Carlos snarls "I'm going to get revenge on that asshole Alfred for what he did last year and what better way than to hurt his best friend?"
Lovino flinches "Pl-Please just kill Alfred in-instead of me" I sound so fucking pitiful
"Not as fun" Carlos rolls his eyes "I forgot to bring my lunch money...mind giving me yours?" he said it in a way that wasn't a question in the least bit.
"N-No" Lovino said barely standing up to the bigger boy sitting behind him
"I suggest you do it now" Carlos says balling up his fists
Lovino looks helplessly back at the bus driver who seems completely oblivious that anything is wrong at all.
"I-I don't..." Lovino's voice trailed off, he was so stupid and weak and this damn ice cream bastard was just going to push him around...
Carlos's hand snakes around to Lovino's hair curl, that one stubborn curl that always stuck up, Lovino pales, he starts pulling it extremely hard. Of course he knew that was the one thing that hurt Lovino more than anything, it was a pretty sensitive piece of hair. Before Lovino could do much about it tears began to well in his eyes, he must look so weak.
"Carlos quit it"
Lovino looks up, he didn't recognize that voice.
Carlos lets go of the curl leaving Lovino clutching his head, damnit he wanted to cry so badly but he wasn't going to.
"Any why should I, Spaniard?" Carlos asks
"Your a freshman I'm a sophmore I know how things work in the school better than you do plus I can probably beat you up, or my friends can, I dunno~" the voice says cheerily
Lovino wraps his earbuds around his I-Pod trying to do something to prevent himself from looking up as Carlos started arguing with his savior. Eventually, Carlos got too pissed and moved to the back of the bus.
"Hey, are you alright?" a Spanish accent questions
Lovino takes a deep breath and looks up "Yeah I am thank you"
"No problem" the boy has bright green eyes and is slightly tanned, his hair is black, he looks mexican or spanish or something "I'm Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, it's nice to meet you"
"I'm Lovino Vargas" Lovino replied putting his I-Pod in his backpack, it seemed this sophomore wanted to talk to him for some odd reason and considering he just saved his pathetic ass he might as well listen.
"Oh your Feliciano's brother right?"Antonio asks
Lovino bites his lips, he hates it when people remember him as Feli's brother "Yeah"
"Oh" Antonio smiles "He's dating my best friend Gilbert's brother"
Lovino inwardly groans, Gilbert is one annoying asshole.
"I don't have any friends on this bus so I'll sit with you" Antonio states happily "I don't want you to get bullied again"
Oh so that's why thought Lovino Whatever.
"You can if you want" Lovino comments "I don't have any friends on this bus either"
Antonio grins and switching his seat to sit next to Lovino.
