Elizaveta Herdervary was the type of girl everyone else wanted to be. Pretty, popular, and reasonable grades; what wasn't perfect about this girl?
Matthew Williams, however, was the exact opposite. When he wasn't completely ignored, he was usually being beaten up by some bully.
There was one similarity between the two, though.
They were lonely.
Sure, Matthew was pretty self- explanatory. But Elizaveta? She had people practically worshipping the ground she walked on!
But, they only liked her for her popularity. She had no real friends; just people who used her.
"Alright, class," the teacher called. "Settle down. Now, as you all know, our school's science fair is coming up. I'll be putting you in groups of two to work
on projects."
Elizaveta felt all eyes on her. Everyone wanted to be her partner; who would it be?
The teacher, Mrs. Brand, read off a few names. "Elizaveta," she called. "You will be with... Matthew."
Matthew opened his eyes. He was sure he was going to be stuck with Gilbert, or Francis, or any of his other tormentors. This was... different, to say the
least.
The bell rang, signaling the end of science class.
"Projects are due in one month, at the end of May," Mrs. Brand reminded everyone.
Elizaveta gathered her things and stood to leave. However, she was met with a pair of very familiar red eyes.
"Hey, Lizzie!" one of Elizaveta's 'friends', Gilbert Beilshmidt, laughed as they walked to the cafeteria. "Can't believe you got stuck with that nobody as a
partner! How 'bout you ditch him for me; I'm sure Francis would find something to do with him."
Francis chuckled. "He's much to fragile," the Frenchman said. "Probably nothing special I haven't seen before."
Elizaveta rolled her eyes, then turned to the lunch menu. Pizza. Gross.
Lunch in hand, the Hungarian went to sit at her usual table with Gilbert, Francis, Antonio, and whoever else managed to get a seat there. But then her
eyes wandered to a certain blond...
"Hey," Elizaveta asked a very shocked Matthew. "Is this seat taken?"
"N- no, not at all," Matthew stuttered, gesturing for her to sit down across from him.
"Hey, Lizzie! Whatcha' doing?" her normal group yelled. Elizaveta just ignored them.
"Allow me to introduce myself," she said to Matthew. "The name's Elizaveta Herdervary."
"Matthew Williams," the boy said. "It's nice to meet you."
"You know, Matthew?" Elizaveta asked, leaning her head on one if her arms. "I like you."
Matthew was dumbfounded. Then he smiled.
"Thank you," he grinned.
And thus began the most unexpected friendship the school had ever seen.
A/N: Yes, I know, I have so many other stories to finish. But this idea would not leave me alone! My best friend Wish and I have started a (sort of) cosplay group on YouTube called Minty Cosplay. She is Canada, I'm Hungary! Our first video should be up on 8/6/13 of Canada and Hungary going out for McDonald's and ice cream. But first it must be filmed! o.o Anywho, thanks for reading the first chapter of "Surprise!". Bye!
