A/N: Hola! I'm here with a new story! I'm not sure how many chapters this story will have, but they will probably be short. I hoep you enjoy! Hasta la pasta -3-

~Ivan's POV~

All my life, things have been dull and colorless. No one ever wanted to be my friend because they always thought I was scary. But I slowly got used to it over the years.

This is my story.

My story on how I met Alfred.

And how he became my first and only friend.

And how he stayed by my side no matter what happened.

I woke up on Monday morning with a bad stomachache, but I ignore it. It happens a lot. I get ready for school, get a banana, eat it, tell my parents I'm leaving, and start walking to school. I was about halfway there when I saw a boy who looked about my age and had short brown hair with a cowlick.

He looks pretty cute...

Stop thinking that, Ivan! You're straight! Definitely NOT gay!

I walk up to the boy and say hi. He turned around and smiled at me.

"Hey, dude! My name's Alfred and I'm guessing you go to Hazel Wood High A/N: I'm sorry if it sounds stupid I just thought up a random school name xD because you seen to be going in the same direction I am." the boy says.

"Yeah, I am going to Hazel Wood High. It's a small school, so I know everyone in my grade, and you look about my age and I don't recognize you so I'm guessing you're new." I respond.

"Yeah, I just moved here. I think this is actually a pretty nice place." Alfred says.

"It is a pretty nice place. Would you like to walk to school together?" I ask.

"I'd love to! Especially with someone as cute as you~." Alfred says as a blush spreads like wildfire on my face.

On our way to school, we talk about random things like our favorite color, our favorite subject in school, etc.

"Dude, you're from Russia!? That's so cool!" Alfred exclaims. I had just told him about how it was very cold in Russia.

"Da. Though I do like it here in America better." I respond.

"Talk to me in Russian." he says.

"Can't. The bell is about to ring. I need to go to class." I state as I take off for my first class, science with Mr. Johnson.

I sit down right as the bell rings. Alfred was talking to Mr. Johnson. I see him nod and walk over to me.

"Hey, dude! Guess what? Mr. Johnson said I get to sit next to you." Alfred says.

"That's great!"

Mr. Johnson then begins teaching the lesson. He starts telling us about how we are starting a science project and he was letting us choose our partners because he didn't want to pair us up with someone who we didn't get along with. Once he finishes, I ask Alfred if he will be my partner. He says yes and we begin working on it.

"Hey, Alfred? Can I ask you something?" I ask.

"Sure, dude!" he exclaims.

"Do you think I'm scary?" I inquire.

"No, I don't. Where did you get that idea?"

"Well, everyone else thinks I am. But the thing is, I don't know why. I haven't done anything to them. Maybe it's because I'm really tall."

"Maybe. But it's okay, Ivan. You have me. I'm your friend."

This was great! After all these years I finally had a friend! Everything seemed perfect.

Little did I know that that would change very soon.
