Chapter 1
~:*5th Grade*:~
"Class attention please!" the teacher called out to the 5th grade class, once all eyes were on her, she smiled and began to speak again, "today we have a transfer student, from England," the teacher looked at the open door motioning for the new student to come out, once student did. All eyes were glued on him. He had strawberry-blonde hair, bright blue eyes with a little pink swirling around the blue, with blue glasses perched on his nose; he was wearing a white dress shirt, neon blue bow, brown trousers, and dark brown dress shoes. The teacher looked at the new student, "Would you like to introduce yourself with the class?"
The boy nodded and faced the class with a wide grin plastered on his face, "hello, my name is Arthur Kirkland, I'm from England, London and it's a pleasure to meet you all,"
The teacher smiled at Arthur, "okay Arthur, why don't you sit at that table in the back,"
Arthur nodded and walked to the table in the back of the room. There were 5 kids sitting at the table. The first one caught Arthur's eye, he had long pale blonde messy hair, dark blue eyes, he was wearing a purple dress shirt, black trousers, and black shoes. The second one had dark brown hair with a cowlick, red eyes, he was wearing a white T-shirt, over it was a dark brown hoodie, jeans with holes on the knee, and with red and white sneakers. The third with blonde hair with a stubborn curl in front of his face and pulled into a messy ponytail, dark bluish purple eyes, with a black shirt, with a red hoodie, with jeans, and black hunting boots. The forth had black hair with a ponytail slung over his shoulder, wearing a black long sleeve covering his hands, and dark brown shorts, and brown shoes. The last one had light brown, reddish orange eyes, wearing a grey scarf, with a black shirt with a leaver jacket over it, light blue jeans, and black sneakers.
Arthur gulped and sat in the empty seat next to the boy with dark brown hair. The boy had looked over at Arthur then smirked.
"So ya new here?" the boy asked Arthur, Arthur nodded and smiled, "okay well since you're going to be at the table, you got to know our names I suppose, I'm Alfred, but call me Al, that's Matt," Al gestured the blonde with the messy ponytail, "Francis," Arthur looked at the boy with the pale blonde long hair. "Yao," Al pointed at the boy with the black hair.
"And I'm Ivan," the boy with light brown hair said cutting off Al, "sorry comrade I rather introduce myself than you do it," Al only rolled his eyes.
The teacher had came by the table and gave Arthur the assignments that the rest of the class was working on, "if you need help, don't hesitate to ask, okay?" Arthur nodded.
Arthur started working on the piece of paper. The table stared at him, but Arthur paid no mind to it. He was doing his work like a good student he is.
After an hour has passed the teacher had called out recess and all the students had scattered out. Arthur was the last one out once he got out he sighed. Then he walked to the isolated swings at the far end of the playground.
'I never got along with the kids in my old school,' Arthur thought to himself, 'why try here? It's pointless to do so, all I'm just going to do is be made fun of again,' Arthur sat himself on the swing and began to swing back and forth slowly on it. He was too caught up on thought to hear someone calling is name.
"Arthur, Arthur, Arthur!"
Arthur practically jumped that caused him to fall backwards and landed on the woodchip covered floor. Arthur looked up to see 4 blurred figures above him.
"Geez, are you okay?" one of the figures asked in concern.
"Wait I think this might help," a different, but familiar voice had said.
The figure had grabbed Arthur's glasses and put them back on top of his nose. Once Arthur had got his glasses back he had saw bright red. Quickly he scooted away from him and bumped into legs. He gingerly looked up and saw Ivan, he quickly got up.
Once he did he saw Ivan, Matt, Yao, and Al. Yao only laughed and rolled up his sleeves and started to clean the woodchips of his back. Once Yao was done he dusted off his hands.
"Thank you," Arthur mumbled.
"It's no problem, aru," Yao said then patted Arthur's back.
The group had begun to walk were Francis was, and then Al came running back to Arthur who was standing in the same spot.
"Come on," Al had grabbed Arthur's wrist.
Arthur blushed, "what? Where are we going?" he asked trying to hid his blush.
"We're going over there," Al had pointed to the roundabout, where Matt, Francis, Ivan, and Yao were sitting at and slowly spinning it.
Arthur only nodded and bowed his head trying to calm down his blush. Once they had made it to their destination Al let go of Arthur's wrist. It caused Arthur to look up, and saw Alfred sitting with the rest of his small posse on the roundabout. Then they looked at Arthur, which had made him nervous to the bone.
"What?" Arthur asked.
"Aren't you going to sit?" Francis asked arching one of his eyebrows.
"Um," Arthur took a seat on the roundabout.
"Well," Matt started off, "welcome to the group, Arthur,"
"Group," Arthur said curiously.
"Yep," Al smirked, "but now were plotting,"
"Plotting,"
"Yep against, Feliciano, Ludwig, Honda, and Lovino," Al stated.
"They pulled a prank on us yesterday so we're getting back at them," Matt explained.
Arthur nodded, 'these kids sure are strange,' Arthur thought to himself before he began listening to the others plotting their plan out.
~:*6th grade*:~
Arthur shifted weight on each leg every minute or fiddling with his new black glasses every once a while, when he was waiting for his mom to come out of the principle office. Then she came out of the office holding a piece of paper. Arthur looked up his mother with pleading eyes. The mother smiled and handing Arthur the piece of paper, he scanned it, once he finished, he smiled.
He had the same class with Al and Matt, but not with Francis, Yao, or Ivan, but he didn't pay no mind to it. He'll see them during the recess. The only down side, was that his teacher was Mr. Vargas, he wasn't the nicest teacher in his school, but he knew how to discipline the children, that was the only reason why the school had kept him to this day.
Arthur had come in Mr. Vargas classroom. Then he started to look for his name tag on the desk, once he had found it. He sat at the seat and opened the desk that was a small compartment for the school supplies he had bring. As Arthur was cleaning his bag out with his supplies, Mr. Vargas had gotten up to copy some papers, once the teacher left. A certain Italian smirked. The Italian had got out of his seat and he had walked up to Arthur.
Arthur looked up from his desk and saw the boy walking towards him, Arthur smiled brightly "hello Feliciano, how you are you?"
Feliciano had dark reddish brown hair with a stubborn curl on the right side of his head, and dark purple eyes. The Italian boy smirked, "why, I'm doing fine, but that's not the point,"
Arthur looked at Feliciano all confused, "oh? Then why are you here?"
"Well, I need you to meet me after school, behind the school," Feliciano stated, "and don't bring that stupid posse with you,"
Arthur frowned, "um, okay? I suppose," Arthur answered.
"Arthur!" Feliciano had turned around and walked back to his seat with a devilish smile on his face. Arthur looked for the source of the voice then his eyes met with a familiar red. Al walked up to Arthur.
"What were you doing?" Al asked being serious.
Arthur had looked away from Al, then he spoke, "don't worry about it, okay?" Arthur said.
Al shook his head, "no I will worry about it Arthur, why were you talking to that pasta freak?" Al whispered half-heartedly.
As Mr. Vargas had entered the room with a stack of papers, then Arthur turned his full attention to the teacher.
As the day ended, having students coming out of Mr. Vargas class with groans of homework on the first day of school. Al, Francis, Yao, Matt, and Ivan had met up on their usual meeting spot, the parking lot. They were now waiting for Arthur.
"Are you sure he was here today?" Francis groaned.
"Yes!" Matt and Al said in sync.
"Then why is he not coming?" Yao asked with frown.
"Why don't we leave? I doubt he's coming, he probably already left and heading home," Ivan stated.
The 5 of them agreed and sighed. Then they had started to walk to ice cream parlor.
Arthur was waiting for Feliciano to show up. 'Why did he want to see me?' Arthur had thought to himself, 'but, why by myself?" Arthur then heard footsteps he looked up to see who it was. When he did he saw Feliciano, but also Honda and Ludwig behind him.
"Feliciano," Arthur questioned, "um, what do you want to talk about?"
Then he felt himself being pushed on the ground of dirt.
"So naïve, clueless," Feliciano said with a smirk.
"h-huh," Arthur said with his eyes wide opened.
"You heard me," Feliciano said grabbing Arthur's collar having Arthur to look into the dark purple eyes that were full of hatred, "You're useless, pathetic, do you really think that they are your friends?" Arthur didn't respond, didn't know how to, he could only feel his eyes starting sting. Feliciano had smirked, then he grabbed Arthur's new glasses took them of his face and threw them far away from the 4 of them. Then Feliciano felt a drop of water one his head, he looked up and noticed the sky getting dark signaling that it would rain soon, he got up and looked at Ludwig and Honda, "make sure you give his posse a message, not to ever mess with me again," with that Feliciano had walked off causally, then Ludwig and Honda had walked up to Arthur.
"No, please no…" Arthur said with pleading eyes.
Ludwig threw the first punch into Arthur's jaw that had him sending him on his back, instantly Arthur curled into a defensive ball covering his head and stomach with his arms and legs.
After a few more minutes Ludwig and Honda left, leaving Arthur a sobbing mess in the mud.
"Al, Matt!" Their mother had called, the two boys had run into the kitchen, seeing their mother putting the phone back in the charger, "where's Arthur?" she asked.
Instead of a straight answer, she was giving two confused looks.
"He's not home?" Matt asked their mother.
She only shook her head, "no, he hasn't came home from school,"
"Don't worry we'll look for him," Al stated. Then went to go get his hoodie and phone, Matt did the same as they had head out the door their mother stopped them.
"Boys," she called, "stay out of trouble and make sure to find Arthur," she said firmly. The two of them nodded, and then ran out the door, after closing the door, they instantly opened their phones.
"Your call Francis and Ivan, and you'll three look around the neighborhood, while me and Yao will search near the school." Matt nodded as he went through his contacts and called Francis and Ivan, Al did this same with Yao then he ran to the school.
'How long have I been here?' Arthur asked himself. 'My body hurts, it hurts to move, and I'm cold… I can't see either, my eyes hurt,' Arthur heard footsteps and few gasps. Then his body was lifted and he felt two arms wrapped around his body, 'this feels warm' Arthur looked up to see a familiar, but blurry face.
"A-" then Arthur was cut off by furiously coughing.
"Hey, take it easy," Al said and gently touched a bruise that was forming on his jaw; he also noticed some, make up? He looked confused, then when he looked at Arthur closely, Alfred felt his cheeks heat up, wait what? Arthur had freckles? Since when did he have freckles?
"Gl-glasses," Arthur stuttered.
Al looked around then turned to Yao, "Yao look for Arthur's glasses while I call the others,"
Yao nodded and started the search, while Al put Arthur gently back on the ground having his back against the brick wall, then Al pulled off his hoodie, and then he pulled Arthur forward and putting the hoodie on Arthur's shoulders and pulling the hood over Arthur's now damped hair. Then he put Arthur back against the wall and zipped up the hoodie.
"Stay here, I'll be back," Al said then he stood up and went to call the other three. Once he finished he saw Yao coming back with Arthur's glasses, Al took them and thanked Yao and they both ran to Arthur.
Arthur was sniffing and coughing, once Al put on Arthur's glasses they saw Francis, Matt, and Ivan stopping in front of them, they had catch their breaths then walked up to the 3.
"What are we going to do?" Ivan asked.
"We're going to my house, it's the closest to the school and we can't go Arthur's considering he lives at the far end of the neighborhood," Al said the other's nodded, then Al picked up Arthur and the others picked up his belongings.
Arthur woke up in a room, it wasn't his. Arthur looked around more and saw his glasses on the nightstand, he slowly grabbed them and put them back on top of his nose. Then he heard the door opening, he looked to see, Al?
"Al?" Arthur said in a small voice.
Al walked up to Arthur while holding a plastic tray, Al sat the tray on his nightstand. He carefully sat Arthur up. Once Arthur had his back leaning against the white wall, he looked around the room and noticed how clean it was, Arthur was practically the opposite, no matter how times he tries he always had a messy room at the end of the day, but during the summer he always had a clean room because he was always out with Francis, Yao, Ivan, Matt, and Al.
"Mom said you need to eat this," Al said, and then he had got a spoonful of warm chicken soup and put it in Arthur's mouth, Arthur slowly swallowed the warm soup. "Also we called your mom, since it's still raining and she knows you're in good hands, she'll pick you up tomorrow after her job," Arthur nodded weakly, Al sighed, "what happened? Who did this to you?"
"Al I-" Arthur was cut off by more coughing fits.
Al shook his head as he fed Arthur the last spoonful of the soup. "Yeah, yeah, now," Al stood up and help Arthur lay back on the bed, "get some sleep, I'll be on the floor tonight so if you need me just, or whatever,"
Arthur looked at Al with half lidded eyes, Al took of his glasses and set them on the nightstand and took the tray with the empty bowl and walked out of the room. Then Arthur had let himself drift off into dreamland.
After a week had passed Arthur had came back, but didn't say anything to Al and Matt as he entered the classroom. Instead he went straight to Mr. Vargas desk collecting all of his work he had missed. Then walked to his desk and paying attention to the lesson was giving.
Once it was recess Arthur didn't go to Francis, Yao, Ivan, Al, and Matt. He walked to the isolated part of the playground where the kids didn't go anymore. Arthur went under the play set and hid there hopping no one would come and find him.
Until his luck unfortunately ran out, he heard footsteps getting closer to him. Once they footsteps stopped, he heard someone shuffling under the play set as well. He looked up to see Al but he didn't look all that happy. He had an angry face on, but Arthur could read worry and concern in Al's red eyes.
"Why are you avoiding us?" Al asked.
Arthur looked away from Al, "can you just leave, I just want to be alone,"
Al shrugged and sighed; he got up, "fine, be alone," then walked away.
Arthur didn't look at him, he felt tears falling down his face, he pulled his knees closer to his chest, 'Feliciano was right, real friends wouldn't just take off, they'll stay by your side and at least try to make you smile,'
"I'll never smile again," Arthur whispered between sobs.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
