((This takes place in an AU where all of the countries are regular (okay, maybe not so regular) humans attending high school. The gender bends are the countries relatives (like fem!Prussia (julcen) is Prussia's cousin and Alison is America's sister so on) because I believe their gender bent selves have a little different twists in their personality than their regular selves. There's no yaoi in this, so just switch the genders in your mind if you'd prefer. Hope you enjoy it! Please leave a review!))
Julcen stood in front of the boarding school's door, her backpack slung over her shoulder and suitcase in hand. "Today's the day!" She talked to herself a lot, even when people were listening. "You finally got in Pangaea Boarding School!"
After months of filling out papers, spending all summer studying and talking to various people she had done it! Pangaea only accepted the best and most qualified students, all of her friends back at home had also signed up, hoping to get picked, only to have their dreams thrown into the corner.
"Well? Are ya going to walk in or what?"
Spinning around, Julcen grinned at the skinny albino leaning casually on a sign post. "Guten tag Gilbert!"
Too many times Julcen and Gilbert had been mistaken for twins. They both were scarily pale, had white hair and the same speech pattern. The only difference was that Julcen's voice was higher pitched, her eyes were piercing violet instead of red and she was, well, a girl.
With a crazy grin on his face like always Gilbert ran up and hugged her. "I see you got in. KESESESE." Even their laughs were the same. (Though Julcen personally thought hers was softer and more awesome.) "Of course I did!" She said, nudging him. "So give me the tour of the place!"
X X X
"And that's everything." Gilbert said, turning around to face Julcen. He had shown her every nook and cranny in the school, the bathrooms, dorm rooms, snack bar, class rooms, and even the old janitor's closet that his little trio with his friends Antonio and Francis met up in.
"Alright!" Julcen grinned. "Who am I rooming with?"
"Alison Jones and Elizaveta Hederavy." Gilbert gave a little happy sigh after the last name. "You gotta watch out for Elizaveta. Get on her bad side when a teachers around and BAM! You won't know what hit you. She's so awesome…."
Julcen raised her eyebrows. She had never heard him talk like someone that way, let alone call someone other than himself 'awesome.' "Kesese….you like her don't you?"
"Ja! She's just so hot!"
They giggled for a minute like the old friends they were.
"So what room am I staying in?" Julcen asked.
"You're on the second floor, room…erm…..3 I think. We have free reign of the place, except for the teacher's rooms, kitchen and attic. But we always sneak in the kitchen to get food anyways, so don't worry!"
"Why can't we go in the attic?"
"Dunno. Maybe because they don't want nosy people in their stuff? Anyways, you'd better hurry now."
"Huh?" Julcen had completely lost track of time. She was told to be in her dorm room at seven, and it was six fifty-five. "CRAP! I NEED TO LEAVE! NICE SEEING YOU!" The albino shrieked and ran through the hallways, hoping she wouldn't be late.
"Hey watch whe-"
Julcen had turned a corner and crashed into somebody, papers flying everywhere. Laughter rang through the hallway and she felt her face burn. "Mein gott I'm so sorry!" She started picking up papers hurriedly.
"Just what the bloody hell do you think you're doing?!"
Julcen looked up at a blonde student about her age, with piercing emerald green eyes, small ears and ridiculous eyebrows. He had a British accent, which wasn't really strange as everyone pretty much came from a different country here. He was as short as her, but looked a good year or two older. His cold glare burned through her, making her feel like a bug under a microscope.
In other words- she thought he was totally adorable.
"Hellu!" Julcen jumped up, shoving the papers in his hands. "I'm Julcen, but you can call me Jul if you'd like! So nice to meet you!" She gave him a friendly wink.
The blonde snatched the papers away. "Arthur Kirkland. And I wish I could say like-wise." He said coldly and continued walking down the hallway, ignoring the snorts and giggles that were trying to be hidden by the other students.
"So you're this Julcen chick?" A voice made Julcen turn around, and she faced a tall girl with short, dirty blonde hair and a muscular girl with green eyes and brown hair that made her envious.
"Ja! Nice to meet you!" Julcen held out her hand to shake and instantly wished she hadn't. Both of them had a grip of steel that nearly crushed all the bones in her hand.
"Let me take you to our room, dude. I'm Alison- the heroine- and this is Elizaveta. Call her Liz and me Ali" The blonde one said, not caring if she was actually a 'dude' or not. She was chewing bright pink bubble gum that popped whenever she talked.
Julcen grinned and followed them.

After unpacking and talking for a while, the three of them instantly became good friends. They had three things in common, one- they all thought girls should be allowed to fight wars and kick butt. Two- they all liked beef jerky. (Which was completely weird, random and unimportant.) Three- They all for some reason liked to talk about boys and the romance going on in the school.
"First of all." Alison, ditching the beef jerky for some bright pink bubble gum. "Do NOT try and hook with Francis. EVER. He's a- you know what. I can't even describe him. Just don't, okay?"
Julcen nodded, making notes of this in her diary. (Which had a red leather cover and was totally awesome by the way.)
"Second of all, there are some people that you just don't bother. Like Ludwig. Do not try and flirt with him. He's like… a brick wall."
Julcen laughed. "Ludwig? He's mein cousin so I should think not. Continue."
"And lastly-" Alison took a drink of a diet dr. pepper cherry. She had ditched her gum for a bit, thank god. "Every winter there's a Midwinter's Eve Ball, and if you don't get a date- you're considered the outcast. Good thing there's enough men to go around, but if you don't find one you can always hook up with a gal pal like me or Liz and just go as friends."
"Last year I went with Roderich." Elizaveta said, sitting up in her chair and gazing out of the window dreamily. "He was so sweet- always blushing the whole time…"
"And ya broke up with him."
"Yeah." Elizaveta gave a quiet sigh. There was an awkward silence for a few moments before she perked up. "Do you like yaoi?!"
"…yaoi?"
"It's weird stuff from japan. One of the kids here- Kiku- showed her some anime and she's crazy for it." Alison explained. "Anyways, there are some do's and don'ts around here. Liz can take it from there."
Liz took out a notebook and read off a list. "Do not go into the janitors closet between three thirty and four, because that's when the 'Bad Touch Trio' meet up, and you do NOT want to be in a closet with them. Don't sit in the chair in row three, spot four during math because it breaks apart. Don't talk much to Hercules the cat fanatic, Francis the creeper, Arthur the psycho, Ivan the Terror-"
"What about Arthur?" Julcen perked up at Arthur's name. (Probably because he was the only one she recognized.)
They stared at her then started giggling. "He's just so…." Alison hid a snort behind her hand. "Weird!" Julcen gave them a confused look. 'Why?"
"He talks to himself." Elizaveta said. "but not about normal things. About magic and curses and stuff like that. He has no friends as far as I can tell. He's always tired looking and grouchy. I have no clue what grades he has if he has any at all and the staff avoid him."
"Well then." Julcen grinned. "Anything else I should know about this school?"
"Curfew at ten. Which is now. I'm tired!" Alison whined.
As Julcen curled up under her covers and breathed in the scent of freshly laundered sheets she gave a small smile. So far…things were going awesome! Hopefully things will continue to be like that for the next few days…..
