-Chapter 1-
"Dude, hurry up," Alfred yelled from across the room, "We're going to be late!"
I zipped up my red-colored book bag and put it on my back. I ran towards the old toaster to grab the burnt toast Alfred cooked for me. I took a bite of the toast but, due to its burnt taste, I spit it out. I threw the rest of the toast into the trashcan. Oh gosh, he's gotten Arthur's culinary skills, I thought. After doing so I ran towards the door to see my brother Alfred.
"Alfred, do I really have to go?" I asked my brother.
"Of course you have to go, dude! Look, I know high school is annoying and shitty but we have no choice. Besides, it's the first day of the school year, my bro. And there will be people you know like Francis and Arthur and -"
"They never even notice me," I cut him off, "I mean even you don't notice me sometimes."
"Matt, sorry for every time I did that. But could you just go. We're not allowed to skip our first day, anyway. Well, we're not supposed to skip it unless we're sick. After today, you can ditch any time you want. At least that's what I do. Sneaking out of campus. It's actually pretty easy." Alfred said.
I sighed and finally stopped resisting. We both stepped outside of the dormitory building. Alfred took out the rusty key from the pocket of his pants and locked the door. We began walking on the sidewalk towards the middle of the campus where the main building of the school is located. A large, old building build in the 1880s, made out of red bricks with victorian-era decorations around its windows and entrance. It is a huge building, too. The building is five stories tall and has an endless amount of windows. The entrance to the building even looks like a ballroom!
As we approached the school, we saw Arthur and Seychelles talking at the bottom of the steps. Alfred and I overheard them talking, since they were talking very loud but didn't realize it.
"Look, I'm deeply sorry for the way I treated you last year." We heard Arthur say.
"It's ok. I forgive you," Seychelles replied, "Just please don't go around colonizing nations at random out of their will anymore."
"Ok. Oh, and by the way, how did you make that magnificent tea you made me last year?" He asked.
I had only talked to Seychelles once but seen her many times in the hallways in the past, however, I never really grew an attraction to her like some people may think. And, of course, I know Arthur. I tried to wave hello to them but, as usual, they didn't see me waving.
Alfred started to approach Arthur when Seychelles said goodbye to him and left to talk to her room mate, Elizaveta. I was still standing a few feet away from Arthur when Alfred approached him. I didn't move closer to them. I was able to hear them from where I was standing anyway.
Alfred started the conversation, "Yo, du-"
"I didn't raise you to use that slang." Arthur interrupted.
"Fine. Ok. Jeez. Hello. Look, all my shit is in our dorm, right?" Alfred asked.
"Of course, Alfie. I mean you dropped it off last night before you went back to help Matthew unpack." Arthur answered.
Alfred showed a small yet unnoticable smile when Arthur mentioned last night. No one around him noticed except Arthur.
I remembered how worried I was when Alfred was taking so long to come back. After worrying for a while, I started getting suspicious, but then told myself that Alfred and Arthur would never, well, you know. Besides, they've been fighting with each other for years and I have never seen them show any sign of attraction to each other. I mean, I could see Feliciano and Ludwig in a serious relationship, but not Arthur and Alfred. But, of course, I could be wrong. They would be having a secret more-than-friends relationship without me knowing about it. It's possible. Anything's possible, right?
Arthur chuckled a bit, "Yeah. Anyway, does Matthew know who his room mate is, yet?" He asked.
"Nah. The people in charge of the whole room mate thing forgot about Mattie, so they forgot to pair him up with someone. All I know is that they paired him up with a nation rather than a normal human person. He apparently just arrived at the airport an hour ago. I'm assuming it's -"
I was cut off from listening to their conversation when I fell down to the ground after two students tripped me without noticing it. My glasses slid off my face and fell to the floor, too, but they fortunately didn't break. The two students kept walking without realizing that they had tripped me. But it's ok. I'm used to this. I've been dealing with this my whole life. I got up, and went back to listening to the conversation from the same spot I was standing in this entire time.
"Right! I forgot that he was the only nation who wasn't enrolled here last year and that he's starting this year." I heard Arthur say.
Damn it! Why did I have to fall on the moment where I could've actually known who my room mate for the year is?! If only Alfred would stop refusing to tell me who he thinks it is. Ugh, I hate being invisible. And I know I said that I'm used to it but that doesn't mean I can't get frustrated about it. Jeez, not even my own brother and friend noticed that I fell - Wait a second… only nation not enrolled here last year? I didn't know that my room mate would be a new student. Let me think… hmmm… there was a nation who wasn't enrolled here last year? Wait, did I hear correctly? A nation? I thought all nations was enrolled here last year. How come I didn't know there was a nation who wasn't here last year? Whoever this nation is, I don't know about him. Well, I don't know about him yet. Oh well, At least I'll know who it is after school today.
"Yeah. Well, ok Iggy. I have to go. Bell rings in a few minutes. I guess I'll see you in chemistry class." Alfred said to Arthur, smiling.
"Ok." Arthur said back, also smiling. He then turned around to go up the stairs and into the building.
Alfred turned to me and walked towards me.
"C'mon bro. You have geometry for first period, right?" Alfred said to me.
"Yeah." I answered.
"Ok than. I think you should go to class by yourself. I have language arts first and my class is on the fourth floor while yours is on the first, so since it's going to take me a while to get to class, I think its better for you to go alone rather than have me go with you," Alfred told me, "you could do that, right?"
"Of course I can!" I said nervously.
"Ok than. See you in lunch dude." He ran towards the building.
I ran up the steps and walked into the building. I was a scared of the possibility of some of the school bullies from last year noticing me, even though people noticing me is not usual. I walked nervously and fast until I finally approached the end of the second hall in the first floor, where my geometry class is. I walked into the class and sat at a seat by the window, the only seat available. I looked around to see who's in my geometry class this year. I recognized the students in the class. Of course, I recognized all the nation students in this class - Kiku, Natalia, Belgium, and Antonio. And I recognized all the human students. I turned to look for who's in back of me and saw this one student who was reading a book on his desk. I was amazed by how he looked. He had light skin along with romantically red eyes and hair that was so blonde that it looked white. He was beautiful. Wait. What is this feeling I have. I have never felt an attraction to another boy before.
The bell rang. "Good morning class!" The teacher said as she walked into the class. I turned around to face her.
"Welcome to an exciting new year! Before I begin, let me introduce you to our new student. I'm sure all you nation students know him. His name is Gilbert. He is the nation of Prussia."
Gilbert. I've heard that name before, and of course I knew about Prussia, but I have never actually met him. I have never even seen a picture of him. How beautiful he is. Gilbert, I thought again, Gilbert.
"Gilbert could you please stand up for us and give us an introduction." The teacher asked.
"Sure, ma'am." He replied.
His voice. His accent. I love it all.
"Guten Tag. I'm Gilbert. I don't really have much to say so I'll just state the basic facts. I'm awesome. I'm Ludwig's, or Germany as some of you know him by, brother. I have a bird named Gilbird. I'm awesome. I am the nation of Prussia. I like beer. And I'm awesome." He told the class.
The class started laughing while the teacher just gave a serious look.
"A new class clown I see. Ok then. Sit down please, Gilbert." The teacher said.
Gilbert. I couldn't stop saying his name over and over again in my head. He's beautiful in every part of him that I've seen so far, and he makes people laugh. My kind of type. Wait, if he's a new student, and a nation, doesn't that make him the nation Alfred and Arthur were talking about. Doesn't that make him my room mate. Oh gosh. Boy am I glad I didn't skip school today. But, oh my gosh, all these butterflies in my stomach. Despite the butterflies in my stomach, I'm excited. A whole new year with this beautiful student. Gilbert, I thought again, Gilbert.
