A/N: Alright I'm not quite sure where this story is going, but I'll figure it out as I go ^.^ Enjoy!
Looking out of the taxi's window, I see the lush fields and bright blue skies of rural New York. 'It's very different from my homeland...' I think to myself. September at my house is considered the end of winter-time. The trip here was long and expensive, I had to call Big brother New Zealand to send an airplane over so I could come here. New Zealand isn't actually my real big brother, but he's just like one to me. To be honest, I have no family whatsoever. But I don't mind though, because I have my baby Emperor Penguin, Lulu, to keep me company.
The halt of the obnoxiously yellow car brought me back to my senses as the rather large man got out and began to unload my luggage. With Lulu behind me, I got out, taking it all in. The boarding-school was a large Victorian-styled castle with a large stone pathway leading up to it's magnificent wooden doors. In the middle of the pathway was a beautiful fountain with a statue of the world on the top. "Wow..." I mumbled, open jawed, while I made a mental note in my head to thank Big brother for paying for this.
The taxi driver plopped my luggage onto the sidewalk and held out his hand expectantly. "Wha-oh" I dug into my pocket and took out enough money to cover the fare and the tip. I thanked him and gave him my recently acquired American-money. 'We don't even have money in Antarctica...'
He drove off as I started walking towards the entrance with my luggage in tow. Lulu quickly waddled after me, squawking in protest of my fast pace. I passed the fountain, but not before tossing a coin called a "penny" into the water of the structure. 'Please let me make friends and do well this school year' I wished.
Not too long after, I reached the doors of the building. I struggled to open the over sized door, but once I did I walked inside, closing the door. I spotted a stone counter with a woman behind it. "That must be where I check in..." I figured and headed towards it. At this point Lulu had jumped onto my suitcase and I groaned at the gain of weight I was pulling with my right hand.
"Hi, you must be the new student Alysa Evans, correct?" The woman asked and I nodded. "Good, we were expecting you to be here about now. Welcome to The International High school for Countries. You're room number is 25 in the female dorm. The school's Student President will escort you." She gestured to a blonde man with striking green eyes and...'OH MY GOD, his eyebrows are f*cking HUGE!' My eyes widened.
"...Your books and supplies are in your dorm room. You may come here if you have any problems!" She finished while smiling.
"Is there a problem ?" Mr. Eyebrows asked while raising one of his abnormally large eyebrows.
"Huh? O-oh, no. Sorry," I looked down, blushing. How could you blame me? I've never seen anyone with eyebrows like that...
"Well, then we shall be on our way" He said as he walked forward. I nodded and caught up with him. "I'm Arthur Kirkland, representative of the United Kingdom, by the way."
"Oh? Well nice to meet you, A-arthur..." I said politely. Why the hell do I have to be so shy? We exited the building and I followed Arthur toward A a group of buildings.
"...So Alysa, you are the Representative of Antarctica, right? What is you're home like?" He asked, probably to cease the silence between us.
"Hmm, it's really cold, but once you get over that, it's quite beautiful. I sometimes get bored but teaching Lulu how to hunt is fun."
"Really? How old is she?" Arthur questioned. Lulu squawked, and loudly I must say.
"Um, Lulu's a he," I corrected "but he's 65 days old." Lulu seemed to agree by nodding his head enthusiastically and giving a squawk of approval.
"Oh! I'm sorry, it's simply that Lulu is thought of as a female name..." he apologized somewhat awkwardly.
"Ah, no problem. It happens all the time." I said as we finally arrived at the girls' dorm.
"Well this is as far as I am allowed to go. Room 25 is on the second floor. Good luck with your classes, Alysa!" he said as I entered.
"Thank you, Arthur!" I turned around and flashed him a cheeky smile and then began to lug my things up the staircase.
Arthur vividly blushed. "Such a cute girl, that Alysa..." he muttered.
A/n: Done! Haha so Alysa has met Arthur! But she's yet to meet many others. You've may have realized Alysa is a whole different person on the inside, eh? Well she only shows that side of her to close friends haha. Until next time~
