I'm still planning School of Nations out, but I also wanted to work on this. I've contemplated this idea for a long time and decided, hell with it I'm going to write it! Besides, it's not like I have to update it every week. Once a month at most. Don't worry, School of Nations will be updated more but for now I'm just going to release this fanfic while I still plan out how the rest of School of Nations will go.

This is an AU as Grandpa Rome and Germania are still alive. Grandpa Rome of course starring in the very first chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia, World Academy W, or anything else relating to these two topics. I do, however, own the six human transfer students who will definitely make life at the academy interesting.

Chapter One

Charlotte Carson hadn't even started the term at her new school yet and already she could tell that today was going to be one of those 'oh-god-why-the-hell-did-I-bother-getting-out-of-bed' days.

Maybe it had to do with the fact that after an uncomfortable nine hour flight of unbearable silence between her and her twin sister from Florida to London, they had to go straight to the school the two of them would be attending for the rest of their high school term.

Which was approximately two years since she and Samantha upgraded from sophomore to junior and they still had senior to suffer through.

Or maybe it had to do with the fact that after they had an hour's rest in their assigned dorm rooms, Charlotte, her sister and the other four transfer students toured the colossal building that made her old one look like a run down shack. Seriously. The campus had to be a mile wide on every angle including the school grounds. It was that big.

That was part of the reason of why she was so exhausted. You could not tour a huge school that rivaled... actually, was there any other building that rivaled the hugeness of this academy? Not as far as she knew, but you just didn't walk around for two hours and not feel winded at all. There was also the added bonus of her legs feeling as heavy as lead and ready to crack at the knees at any given moment.

No. The real reason of why she just wanted to flop on to her bed and fall asleep in the clothes she was currently wearing and not wake up until next week was because of the sudden government top secret level revelations that had been dropped on them that they were supposed to nod their heads and accept just like that.

World Academy W, it turned out, wasn't just any ordinary prestigious international school in London.

Oh no. It was a prestigious international school in London where the personifications of practically every country that exists on the planet attends at some point in their life. The personifications of countries.

And the muscle toned brown haired man, who was supposed to be their principal, had just claimed that he was the very personification of the once powerful Roman Empire. But they should just call him Rome for short as his formal title was quite the mouthful.

Now he was sitting there and expecting them to take all this to face and act as if it wasn't such a big deal. Or maybe throw themselves at his feet and start calling him his holiness or something along those lines.

Fat chance, Charlotte rolled her eyes. You just didn't tell someone this sort of thing and not expect them to stare at you like you suddenly grew three more heads and started foaming at the mouth.

"Well?" Rome asked when it became apparent that none of them were going to say anything. His grin was fading and he was starting to look disappointed.

"Sir... you're not actually serious, are you?" Charlotte said, folding her arms and eying him incredulously. She was not calling him Rome or Roman Empire to his face even if he was the freaking once powerful empire.

"Of course I am!" The man looked hurt at the fact that she didn't believe him. "Why would I lie about something like this?"

Charlotte just stared at him flatly. There were a multitude of things she wanted to say to that statement but she settled for the one that was least likely to offend him and have him scrutinizing her every move for the next two years.

"With all due respect, sir, it's not everyday you're told that you're going to be attending a school built specifically for countries and that your principal is the powerful Roman Empire itself."

Complete silence filled the room as her sister and the other transfers stared at her.

Her soon to be principal gave her a blank stare as well before bursting out into laughter that irked her. He continued laughing for three minutes straight and Charlotte felt her temper rising to dangerous levels that would only end in someone being strangled. Luckily for all parties in the room, the man was able to regain control of himself before something within the girl cracked and she acted on what she had been contemplating.

"Of course, of course," He said once his laughter started to die down. "As the centuries go by, I keep forgetting that humans these days have forgotten that their countries have a human form."

Of course. Charlotte didn't say it out loud but her expression spoke more than her words would have.

"Back to more serious matters," Rome leaned back in his seat, hands behind his head. "I suppose I should explain why you would be attending a school that only countries go to?"

Beside Charlotte, Samantha nodded along with an Australian kid who went by the name of Luke Stephens. Charlotte and the other poor saps sucked into this were just waiting for him to explain why they were even here in the first place. They were still trying to absorb the information he just dropped on them but the shock was dying and down and their curiosity was over putting their disbelief and denial on the back burner. For now.

"You see, the countries who attend this school don't interact with anyone outside beings like themselves. Or rather, the only humans they will talk to are those who are high up in their own government and have been sworn to secrecy about the existence of the very land masses they are living on having human form."

Translation: countries only hung out with other countries and interacted with humans in necessary; said humans being high government officials.

"The only time they do communicate with ordinary humans is when they are at war with each other." Rome smile was melancholy for the first time since the six students came into his office. "Which is rather troubling as I want the countries to also talk to ordinary people when they are not fighting as well."

"What does this have to do with us?" An asian girl -most likely Chinese- placed her hands on her hips and tilted her head to the side in confusion. Charlotte didn't know her name because unlike the overly friendly Australian, she didn't even bother introducing herself. "I mean, it is kinda sad that the only time they talk to people is when they're trying to kill the opposition, but what's our role in this?"

And Rome was back to using his idiotic smile again. "You, my dear, will be one of the humans around the countries age they can interact with!"

"What?" Was the dumbfounded response.

"I personally picked four students from around the globe to attend the school!" As he said this, Rome was staring at Charlotte and Samantha. "However, two of you are attending this school on recommendation from your aunt."

Both statements were met with many blank stares.

"Then why are there only six of us?" Charlotte finally asked. "Don't you think it would be a better idea to have about twenty students attending? And aren't the teachers human as well?" She should know since her Aunt Carolyn, who she was going to corner once she got the chance to interrogate for answers, happened to be the English teacher. And the one who had referred them to this guy.

"They are. But other than talking to them for anything class related, they don't really communicate that much. Which, as I've said before, is where you come in. They need to learn to be more at ease with humans but I don't want to overwhelm them either with a sudden influx of human transfer students." No one said anything else and after eying each and every one of them, Rome said, "I think that's everything you need to know. Classes start on Monday and you should have already received your schedule in the mail; no doubt you have it with you. If not, ask the secretary at the front to print you a new one."

Charlotte turned on her heel to leave when the former empire's words had her firmly planted on the spot and inwardly cursing at herself for not getting away fast enough.

"All of you, except Miss Charlotte Carson, are free to leave. Miss Carson, stay behind. There's something I just want to talk to you about and I promise it won't take too long." He gave her a warm smile that assured her she wasn't in trouble for anything.

Samantha caught her eye, giving her a slightly worried look. But Charlotte just turned around and avoided her sister's gaze as she directed her attention at the man in front of her, wondering what the hell he wanted.

XXXX

"Miss Carson," Rome repeated once the last person shut the door gently behind them and they were the only ones in the room.

Charlotte would have replied in a sarcastic manner, but even she was not going to get herself kicked out of her new school before she attended it, thank you very much.

"Yes?"

Rome smiled sympathetically which had alarm bells in Charlotte's head ringing loud and clear. Being smiled at sympathetically by a principal did not equal a good thing. And if he got the records from her last school, then she could only guess too well what he wanted to talk about.

Yup. Something up there was not in a good mood and for their amusement, they decided to make this day of Charlotte's life miserable.

"Your aunt told me what happened at your other school and I've also received the files." He waved a brown manila folder to emphasize it.

Fantastic.

Hopefully, what the principal knew he would keep to himself. But knowing Charlotte's crappy luck so far, it wouldn't be long before the information got out somehow.

"So you know what happened around the end of my sophomore year." It wasn't a question; it was a statement. A tired sounding one that made it seem as if Charlotte had suddenly grown ten years older.

"Yes. It's unfortunate that something like that had to happen to you and your sister."

Charlotte bit down on her lip so hard that she could taste blood in her mouth. Yeah. It was completely unfortunate that her sister ended up in a two month coma. All because of her and the people she just had to piss off. Those stupid bitches couldn't get even with her so they went and took it out on her identical twin sister instead. Everything they wanted to do to Charlotte they instead did to Samantha.

Fucking cowards.

All of them.

But she definitely made them pay for what they did.

"But I can assure you that you and Samantha have nothing to worry about at World Academy W. We look down upon behaviour like that and anyone caught in the act will be strictly punished."

"'Caught in the act?'"

And that was how most bullies got away. Their victims maintained absolute silence in the face of any authority, terrified of what their tormentors would do if they ever found out they had told on them.

The expression on Charlotte's face must have said something as she saw Rome's already sympathetic gaze soften even more. "Of course, it would be a good idea to report anything to the teachers as well. They will know what to do, though I have a feeling that Ms Andrews will be the teacher you will go to the most and she most certainly will act."

Was it that obvious? Then again, Carolyn Andrews was her aunt, the English teacher working at the school.

"Is this all you wanted to talk to me about sir?" Charlotte asked after several minutes of silence where she tried to think of a response and failed.

"That's all." Rome nodded.

And without another word, Charlotte turned away from him and left the office.

The hallway was empty and she was nearly disappointment that her sister hadn't waited outside for her. But then again, it wasn't like she was expecting her to. Not after she practically ignored her sister the entire time after she woke up. In fact, this was exactly what Charlotte wanted.

For Samantha to be independent from her and never get involved again in the messes Charlotte started in the first place.

And thus ends the first chapter of this story. I'm sure you've read many stories in which humans attend World Academy W, but I thought that if given a good enough reason as to why they are allowed to attend a school for countries, it's very plausible. So the idea of Principal Roman Empire thinking that it would be fun for the countries to have humans attend the school came to mind because come on, it would not be out of character for him to do this; hand select humans and then drop them into a country filled school.

And yeah, this story is filled with a bit of angst but it's mostly going to be fun and silly times with school drama. Because who doesn't like school drama? But don't worry, things will get more cheerful after this.

I already have the second chapter typed up, but I am not uploading it till next week. Yes, you can throw stuff at me but I ain't budging. Weekly updates are helpful if you don't want to feel rushed, and trust me, the feeling sucks.

The main characters are the twins Samantha and Charlotte, but don't worry, you'll definitely see the countries and the other four yes, Charlotte is being even stupider than usual in this story. Stop angsting and go hang out with your sister again! Will you stop letting your freaking guilt conscience take over your mind?
