Summary: Modern Elizaveta and Roderich are both in boarding school among good friends. They live an average life of European teenagers. However both of their parents are very traditional as they arrange a marriage between a strong, rowdy lady and a weak, fancy gentleman.

Elizaveta Hedervary rose up in excitement from her slumber. Stretching her arms over her head, she opened her green eyes to the morning sunshine of Vienna, Austria. She closed her blinds tightly to get dressed into her school uniform. Today was the day she would start her education in a boarding school. She slipped on her white collared shirt and buttoned it shut before putting her black blazer over top of it. Taking her red, plaid, pleated skirt, she hiked it to her waist before slipping on her socks and shoes.

She took her black hairbrush and pulled the bristles through her light brown hair that ended at her lower back. Taking bundles of her hair, she placed them over her shoulders before exiting her bedroom. Walking down the enchanted staircase, she allowed the diamond chandelier to catch her attention. She has seen it many times before. However, this one seemed to upset her just a little bit more. Knowing this would be the last time till Christmas break, it brought a tear to her eye that she quickly brushed away.

"Lizzy, is that you?" her mother asked from the dining hall.

"Yes," she replied before walking into the room with her parents. "I'm sure you've slept well." Elizaveta took her seat before her father began to speak.

"Lizzy, you know we are not completely royalty. Although we are not poor either. And sometimes parents with titles arrange marriages between their children for their country. Well, your mother and I had a conversation with the royal family of Austria. They have a son a couple years older than you. And for our families and countries, we've arranged a marriage between you both," her father explained.

"Do I have a choice?" she asked before crossing her arms over her chest.

"No," he replied.

"He is actually going to be attending school with you!" her mother exclaimed, hoping it would make her a little happier about the idea.

"Well, can I have his name so I can introduce myself?" she asked.

"Well, it should be easy to find him. He is well educated, loves music, and is very kind," her mother replied. "And just so you won't miss your father and I, we both chipped in to buy you this personalized locket."

Her mother stood behind her young daughter before hooking the locket into place. Elizaveta put the small charm around her neck in her hand to see her initials "EH" engraved on the front. She opened it to see small pictures of her mom and dad on each side. Closing it, she looked up at her mom with a smile.

"Thank you, mom," Lizzy spoke before giving her mom a hug. "I will keep in touch." Walking over to her father, she gave her dad a hug. "I love you, dad. I will try!" She ran outside the front door and headed in the direction of the school.

Elizaveta spotted the school from the bottom of the steep hill. On her way up the sidewalk, she spotted several other teenagers walking in the same direction and in similar uniforms. Although, instead of bows and skirts, men wore blue pants and ties. She spotted a group of three boys writing on a sheet of paper with a roll of tape in another boy's hand. Running up to a man with short, red hair with a single strand standing up, the boys taped the paper to his back. Lizzy was bewildered at what she had just seen. She ran up to the red-headed boy and removed the paper from his back before tossing it towards the bullies.

"Feliciano, hurry up!" a tall, blonde male called to him. His hair was very thin and he had light blue eyes. His height must have been 5'11". Judging by his height, she would've guessed he would be in 12th grade, but he wasn't. Suprisingly, he was only a freshman.

"Lizzy!" a familiar called to her. She turned around to see her friend Lili running up to her. She had a purple ribbon tied in her short, blonde hair. Elizaveta put her arm around Lili before walking back up the hill.

Once they reached the top of the hill, they were bewildered at the sight. It looked less of a school and more of a vacation! On the front of the school was a sign that read "American International School of Vienna". A smile reached Elizaveta's face before they continued their walk. Everyone walked toward the auditorium for the assembly. Lizzy and Lili sat together in the balcony among other students. The curtains were a lovely shade of red velvet with matching chairs. Elizaveta stood and began gazing around the auditorium while everyone else conversed with one another.

She noticed that there were three levels of wide balconies with several seats each, not including the main floor. Her green eyes moved toward the stage as she spotted the principal of the school. She quickly took her seat as the principal stepped up to the podium.

"Welcome back to school everyone. Each of you should have received your schedule in the mail a couple weeks ago. If you do not have it with you, the class president of each individual grade will be standing at the table outside of the auditorium. Just find which grade you are in and meet with your class president. Your dorm room number will also be on the same sheet. Today is a free day to find your classes, move into your dorms, meet with your teachers, and just get settled. If you have any question, you can turn to your class president or the staff. The guidance counselor's office, main office, and the gym is all on the first floor! Please look into your handbook for the rules, dress codes, and everything you need to know to have an excellent year! Good luck, everyone!"

The entire auditorium grew into a loud roar of applause. Lizzy must have been the only one who didn't clap their hands. They were occupied, hiding her embarrassment. She remembered everything except her schedule!

"Lili, I'm going to get a head start to grab my schedule. I have my cell! Text me and we'll meet up for lunch!" Elizaveta spoke.

"Of course! See you soon!" Lili replied.

Elizaveta rushed down the stairs while the main floor was being released row by row. She was one of the first few in line for tenth grade. She spotted the small red-headed boy again in the row next to her.

"Name?" the president spoke to the distracted teenager. She immediately looked up at the class president. He had thick-rimmed glasses with a black, bowl styled haircut.

"Oh! Lizzy! Elizaveta Hedervary!" she spoke.

He began flipping through pages until he found the right one. "Here you are, Miss Hedervary! Good luck!" He handed Lizzy her schedule before he was corrected.

"Ms!" She turned around and ran into the boy behind her. She didn't know who he was but she immediately pushed him for standing in her way. Looking up at him, his amethyst eyes grew wide behind his thin glasses that rested on the bridge of his nose. A single strand was standing out of his dark brown hair. She shook her head in disapproval of the man that cut her off.

She decided to immediately head straight to her dorm. On the paper, it read "820". Which she automatically assumed that was her dorm room. Running through the sea of teenagers, she made her way to the third floor where a sky way bridge connected to the dorm room building. Once she made her way across, she boarded to the elevator and headed for the 8th floor. As soon as she got to her dorm, she opened the door to see someone else was already inside.

This young woman looked exactly like Elizaveta, it was uncanny. At first, Lizzy thought she walked into a mirror. There were differences. Her roommate had golden blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes. Her hair was halfway pulled back into a bun and a curl in front of each ear. She wore her skirt to her knees but her expression was stern.

"Hello. I am Maria Theresa Walburga Amalia Christina!" she introduced herself.

"I'll just call you Theresa. I am Elizaveta Hedervary. Call me 'Lizzy'," she replied. Elizaveta's green eyes noticed her blue eyes roll as she placed a picture frame up on her bedframe. The man's face looked very familiar. And then it hit her. "Your boyfriend?" she asked.

Theresa's eyes looked at Lizzy with a smirk. "I wish! As well as every other woman here! He is the hottest man this year! Every woman is trying to get with him."

"Does that make me a man? I don't want him!"

"What is wrong with you? He is the most artistic and talented man this school has ever seen!"

"Well, I'll tell you what he doesn't have. Manners! I ran into him, getting my schedule. And plus, I'm engaged!"

"To who!" It was less of a question and more of an exasperation. "You are in high school!"

"I don't know. And you try explaining that to my parents!"

Elizaveta collapsed in her bed as she got lost in her train of thought. Her eyes shifting from the ceiling to the photograph Maria Theresa had posted above her own bed.
