A Canadian Cinderella Story
Matthew moved through the halls of his school like any other day. But it wasn't like any other day, nope, today the school was talking about the upcoming school Halloween dance.
He sighed as he entered the lunchroom. He wasn't very hungry so he just got a bottle of fruit juice. There wasn't anything that he wanted on the menu today anyway.
Matthew spotted his friends on the other side of the lunch room at a corner table. He waves and heads over.
"Eh, hi" said Matthew to his two best friends Elizabeta and Marina.
Marina looks up at him with a sweet smile, "hey Mattie."
Elizabeta looks at the bottle in his hand, "is that all you're eating?"
Matthew nods his head and sits across from the two, "I'm not that hungry."
She looks at him unconvinced but lets it slide and starts on another topic, "so are you guys going to the Halloween dance?"
Marina clasped her hands together excitedly and started bouncing in her seat "yes! I can't wait; I heard it's going to be a Masquerade ball. I already have a costume picked out. It's going to be so fun!"
Matthew fiddled with the lid of his drink "I can't go."
"What why" they ask at the same time.
He takes a sip of his drink "my step dad's making me clean the house and then I have homework I need to do. And even if I did go I have no costume."
Marina starts to pout "well that's not fair, I wish there was some way you could go."
Elizabeta gave Matthew a thoughtful look "I think I know a way you can go" Matthew opened his mouth but Elizabeta put her hand up to silence him and answered his question "and know wan will know who you are" she said with a strange gleam in her eyes.
Matthew and Marina look at each other and thought 'I don't like that look in her eyes.'
Elizabeta abruptly stood up saying "I guess we should head to class now, see you after school!" And ran off to her next class.
~=^n.n^=~
'Last class of the day, finally' Matthew thought as he sat down in his seat by the window.
The teacher went right into a lecture about something or other and Matthew hit his head on his desk and ground.
'Grate another lecture, why can't he just leave us to spend the rest of the class chatting or sleeping' he looked around him, it seems he's not the only one who's thinking this.
He pulled out a note-book and started doodling random things that pop into his head until, that is, a crumpled up piece of paper hits his head.
Matthew looked up and saw his friend Lovino looking at him.
He looks at the paper:
I wish the teacher would just SHUT THE HELL UP! No one is even listening.–Lovino
I know, he's so boring. I feel like I'm about to fall asleep. –Matthew
He looks at the teacher then throws the paper back at Lovino. He throws it back a minute later.
I wish I could but the tomato bastard next to me won't leave me alone, damn it. –Lovino
Eh, I'm sorry. –Matthew
Why are you saying sorry you're not the one annoying me? –Lovino
Hay Mattie how's your day ben! –Antonio
Eh, fine. –Matthew
Fucking tomato bastard, don't interrupt someone's conversation! –Lovino
It's fine with me if he joins the conversation eh. –Matthew
See Mattie's fine with it Lovi ~ -Antonio
Whatever, and my names not Lovi it's Lovino, Lo- vi- no! –Lovino
So are you two going to the Halloween dance? –Antonio
Yeah, Feli's dragging me along with him and the potato bastard. –Lovino
Eh, no I can't go. I have too much to do. –Matthew
Aw, that's too bad. -Antonio
Yeah –Lovino
The bell rings signaling the end of school.
Matthew puts his things in his bag and goes to meet up with Elizabeta and Marina at the entrance.
~=^.^=~
Marina sat on a bench by the doors swinging her legs back and forth as she waited for Matthew.
Elizabeta leans against the wall next to her scribbling something down on her notepad.
"What are you writing?" Marina asks eying the note pad curiously.
"The plan on how to get Mattie to the Halloween dance" She said with that same gleam in her eyes as before.
Marina jumps up and shouts "Mattie!" before running and tackle hugging him to the ground.
"Eh, h-hi Marina" Matthew said smiling at her as she helps him to his feet.
Elizabeta walks over to them, "what took you so long?"
"Sorry I was talking to a teacher about a test that I need to make up" Matthew answered looking at the ground.
Elizabeta waved her hand in dismissal, "that's all right; let's just go to the mall so we can look at some costumes."
"All right, let's go!" Marina said enthusiastically as she pulls Matthew out the door, Elizabeta following close behind.
~=^-.-^=~
Matthew shifted through different costumes to find one that fit Elizabeta. It was harder to do then he anticipated. She didn't want anything girly or frilly. Then something caught his eye. He pulled it out and examined it. It was a female knight's costume. The shirt was a dark green with a Breastplate and brown pants with a sword attach to the belt.
He turned around and handed Elizabeta the costume, "what do you think of this one."
Her eyes light up at the sight of the female knight's costume, "it's perfect, thanks Mattie!"
Marina looks over at them, "I have a pair of boots that would look good with that, that you can borrow."
"Thanks, I already have a mask so that's it for me" Elizabeta said happily as she pays for the costume. "Now it's time to find Mattie something" with that said Elizabeta and Marina wandered off into the maze of costumes leaving Matthew to sit and wait.
He stared at the wall across from where he sat. Why was it taking so long for them to find him a costume?
His thoughts are interrupted by someone calling to him, "mon petit Mathieu what are you doing here" Francis walks up to him with his friends Gilbert and Antonio.
"Eh, bonjour Francis, I'm just helping my friends find a costume for the dance" Matthew stated as he stands to greet his cousin.
"Ah, what a helpful petit cousin you are. Maybe you could help us find a costume to?" Francis asks.
"Sorry but we were just leaving" Elizabeta said from behind Matthew.
"Yup, gotta go" Marina says coming out from behind a clothes rack.
Francis blushes slightly from Marina's sudden appearance.
They wave goodbye and drag Matthew away.
"Kesesesese, you're blushing like a little schoolgirl Francis" Gilbert says laughing hysterically.
Francis pouts at him, "at least I wasn't struck speechless."
Antonio giggled as Gilbert cursed at Francis angrily then saw something out of the corner of his eye.
A big goofy smile spreads across his face as he sees Lovino walking to the food quart."Mis amigos, I have to go." said Antonio as he runs after the Italian.
~=^x.x^=~
Elizabeta and Marina had taken Matthew home after they had left the mall. He had nicely declined their invitation of going to Marina's house and said goodbye to them. Now he was sitting at his desk in a chat room created for Hetalia High students. No one was on so he was looking up random videos on YouTube.
Ding!
He looks at the chat room.
His eyes light up a little at the user name even though he didn't know who it was. It was still nice to talk to him.

Matthew turned off his computer and turned around to look at his step father wearily, "what is it."
"You need to go make dinner" he answered coldly.
Without another word Gregory left the room.
Matthew lets out a small sigh, "I doubt I can convince him to let me go."
