The prestigious Atlas Academy, where all young nations come to learn and establish ties with the rest of the world. After being home schooled by his grandfather for more than a century, the young North Italy has been accepted into this fine establishment, which his older brother also attends. And he's pretty excited, too!
Italy, grandson of the legendary Rome, is an unbeatable ball of sunshine. If blissful ignorance was a weapon, everyone would be bowing to him out of fear. Seriously, this dude is happy. And not just because of this new turnup. He's looking forward to all the new highschool adventures he'll experience. Of course, he has to find his way around the place first.
Walking through the tall and wide corridors of the school, Italy was easily overcome with amazement. Floors made of beautiful and expensive marble, walls decorated with breathtaking artwork and portraits of what looked to be famous historical leaders, and even the large windows showed off an intricate design that let the subtle yet warm rays of sunshine come through. This school was like a palace.
"Hey there, aru! Aren't you the new kid?", came an unfamiliar voice. Italy turned to see what was possibly the prettiest girl he'd ever seen. Long black hair neatly tied in a ponytail, slender body(thought the chest was a bit flat), and two sparkling golden eyes like his.
"Ve~. Yes I am! And who might you be?", he replied. The beauty smiled slightly and bowed. "Well then, pleased to meet you! I am China and I will be your guide today, aru."
Score!
And so Italy happily followed China through the academy. The student body was divided into six "classes": Europe(his class), Asia, Africa, North and South America, and Micronation, each of which had its own wing in the main building. Which was big for only a few hundred students by the way. And that's not even counting the other areas on campus. From the multiple Olympic-sized stadiums for various sports to the different recreational sites and finally the student dormitories which were separated by gender. The boy's dormitory and the vastly smaller by comparison girl's rooms. He wondered why that was.
All the while China was going on about something Italy didn't have the attention span for. Suddenly, the bell rang and , like a flash flood, the corridor was full of students. Spouting insecurities and jollies that couldn't be penetrated by Italy's shrieks. He'd been separated from his guide by the river of countries. China tried to catch up to him but Italy could see her form slowly fading from perspective.
He was roughly thrust onto the floor by the stampede. Italy was confused. Where was he? He looked around to see a high ceiling, tables filled with students, and tables filled with food. Food. Italy quickly recovered to take in the smell. Oh, yes. Food! Not just ordinary high school cafeteria food either, no. He could detect the scent of freshly prepared Greek moussaka, Austrian wiener schnitzel, Korean bulgogi, French crepes, and… English muffins? Okay, except for that last one, all these dishes have just seduced his olfactory nerves.
"But where is the pasta, ve~?", Italy wondered, bewilderingly.
"Actually, pasta is next Tuesday.", said yet another mystery voice. Italy turned to see who it was. Behind him was a short, black-haired Asian boy with deep-brown eyes. He sitting behind a stand. Above his head was a sign that read "Join the Manga Club, Please" in bright red English letters.
"Ve~?"
A/N: Whew! And I am done with the first chapter. Sorry if it was lame or if it was a little too short. Writing is a lot harder than what some people make it out to be. Anyway, I realize that this is a very overused plot. Like I said, I'm a beginner so cut me some slack. Plus this is my first long-term attempt at writing.
Not much going on yet, eh? Well I do plan on introducing some sort of ongoing plot in this story but you'll have to wait a few chappies for that.
Also, there will be mentions of OC nations but not much beyond that since I loathe them, especially in this fandom. And I realize that not every pairing up there can float someone's boat, so you have been warned. Those are just the official ones, too. There will be some implied attraction between some characters that are sometimes one-sided and sometimes not.
Until next time~
