AN: Soo the chibi!version is probably not gonna last long. probably just one more chapter before they grow up.
The next day, Toris was quite early. Ivan was already seated on his usual bench, and Toris went and sat beside him. It was around fifteen minutes before the start of their first class and very few students were in the classroom.
While waiting for the class bell to ring, the two heard a voice call out, "Hello Liet~"
Upon looking up, they saw someone about their age with blue eyes and shoulder length blond hair. The person was carrying a pink bag with a pony on it and was wearing a pink sweater with jeans that were slightly tighter than usual. Whether the person was a boy or girl, it was hard to tell.
"What? Have you, like, forgotten your fabulous neighbour?"
"Oh hello Feliks. But, you know, we have only been neighbours for half a day.. You and your family moved in yesterday afternoon…" replied Toris nervously.
"So? We're totally gonna be awesome neighbours!"
"I suppose…"
"Tori, why did he call you 'Liet'?" whispered Ivan.
"Because I'm from Lithuania. He thinks it's nice nickname," Toris whispered back, mentally facepalming.
"It's, like, totally not nice to whisper in front of someone like that," said Feliks, frowning.
"Uhh sorry.."
By then, the class bell rang and everyone settled down.
Throughout the lessons, Feliks kept throwing paper planes at Toris and trying to get his attention. Which Toris, and for some reason Ivan too, found somewhat annoying.
Ivan couldn't wait for recess, when he and Toris could go and sit on the bench in his corner and gaze at the pretty sunflowers in peace.
Unfortunately for him, Feliks had no intention of leaving them alone and decided to tag along as well, much to Ivan's dismay.
"These are, like, so pretty!" exclaimed Feliks when there.
He then proceeded to pluck one of the sunflowers, something which Ivan did not like at all. Each of the sunflowers were like his friends.
Feliks on the other hand, continued to rant.
"We had huge stables back in Poland," he said, holding up his arms to indicate their size.
"And we had five ponies; Hazel, Lightning, Chestnut, Ginger, and Snowfall," he continued, counting each one on his fingers one by one. Since the stables here weren't big enough for all five, we only brought two ponies along with us; Chestnut and Snowfall. Not that the name 'Snowfall' suits her anymore," continued Feliks with a laugh.
Toris tilted his head with a questioning look.
"A month or so before we left, I dyed her pink," Feliks explained with a shrug.
Toris almost fell off the bench.
"Dyed her pink?!" he exclaimed.
"Took ten packets of pink hair dye too," Feliks mused with a pout.
"Mum was furious. But whether she was more upset about the money wasted on hair dye or a pink Snowfall I couldn't tell," he added with a giggle.
Toris gave Feliks a look.
"What?! Don't look at me like that. It's their fault for not letting me paint the house, or even my room pink!" huffed Feliks.
"This sunflower is for her," Feliks added as an afterthought, "It'll look really nice in her mane after I've plaited it, don't you think?"
Ivan frowned. Last time he checked, ponies did not enjoy being treated like Barbie dolls.
Toris just nodded. He had nothing to say.
Feliks yawned.
"I miss Poland so much already. The meadows, my old house which was so much larger, Lightning, Hazel and Ginger.." he went on mumbling, before curling up on the ground and falling asleep.
Ivan and Toris breathed a sigh of relief. They really had had enough of Feliks and his pony stories for one day.
"Hey Tori?~" asked Ivan after a while.
"Hmm?"
"You'll never leave me will you? You'll always be my friend and stay by my side forever?"
"Yep" muttered Toris absent-mindedly.
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Soon the bell rang and Feliks was still asleep.
"Uhh I think we should wake him up," suggested Toris nervously.
"Can't we just leave him here?" asked Ivan mournfully.
Toris shook his head.
"No. That won't be a very nice thing to do. And I am his new neighbour after all.."
So after waking him up, the two dragged a very groggy Feliks to class.
The lessons continued a lot more peacefully than the ones before recess as Feliks had fallen asleep again.
After school ended, Feliks waved goodbye to Ivan and Toris at the gates.
"I'll, like, tell you more about my totally awesome life in Poland tomorrow!" exclaimed Feliks cheerfully while Ivan and Toris sweatdropped.
"Sooo.. What do you think about my new neighbour?" asked Toris with an awkward laugh after Feliks had gone.
Ivan remained silent for a while.
"He talks too much."
