Point of view change: Mysterious stranger.
I can't wait to see Mei. Hopefully her school isn't that far away. Even though I should be focused on picking up Mei, I seemed to be getting distracted. I wonder if that guy I ran into earlier, is OK? He looked a bit frazzled. Maybe he was sick? He did look a little over heated. I mean his face was starting to get red. Oh Well, I should just focus on getting my sis...but I mean Why did he run off like that? Was it something I said?
In the middle of thought I didn't seem to notice a brown haired girl standing in front of me. Her hair was as long as her shoulders and had a small strand of hair that curled when it hit her shoulders. She wore a pink blouse and capri's that matched her shiny shoes
"hellooooo. Leon? Are you OK?" The girl asked.
"Oh. Hello Mei. When did you get here?" I asked
"Oh I only have been standing here all day? Where were you? My feet can't handle these heals " she said kicking them off. "And my hairs a mess."
" sorry Mei, I got a little distracted " I said without thinking.
"Distracted? Ooo tell me. I know you only drift if you like someone " Mei said happily
"Its Nothing. I was just thinking " I said irritated
"Uhh... Well...fine. you're no fun" Mei said with a huff.
"Never said I was fun" I said walking towards the parking lot.
"Just tell me!" Mei pleaded.
"Don't you have something better to do than get into my head?" I yelled.
"Sorry Leon..I know you like your privacy. ..you know what? I'm going to make it up to you..." mei said
"how? " I asked but not because I was interested, more like just wanting our conversation to end. She then reached into her rather big purse and pulled out a very colorful flier.
"After I meet my friend tonight, Why don't we go to this awesome party? I heard It's being thrown by a hetalia academy senior. " Mei said handing the flier over to me.
"Idk Mei, I need to study for my entrance exam." I said. I wonder if she knows I lied.
"Don't play dumb with me?" Mei yelled. I think she knows. "you already took those test, Leon. What happened to that fun and outgoing Leon I used to know, Huh?."
"Well...he grew up. Now It's college books and introverted Leon now." I said unlocking the car.
"He wouldn't have wanted this for you! You need to get out and meet new people! " Mei screamed
"You're in no position to lecture me, miss spends a lot." I yelled back. Tears welled up in her eyes. I watched as the guilt settled in to my stomach. I then pulled her into my arms.
"I shop because it hurts too much to look at his empty closet" Mei whispered, pushing her face into my chest.
"I study because he always wanted to see me get a college degree" I whispered back. We stood there hugging until we realized, Mei was going to be late for her date. Which only made us feel worse because it was Yao's idea for an arranged marriage.
...
Back to the other one: Emil
"Finally, everything is done. By everything I mean school, work , and stupid high school drama. Now all I have to do is meet this Mei girl and go home for a nice long relaxing nap." is what I said earlier, you know before I got dragged to a high school party by Lovino.
"Why am I here again?" I asked glaring at a couple making out in the corner.
"Antonio mentioned a party that would have good alcohol. You know I love my wine." I heard Lovino slur as he grabbed another bottle.
"Whoa...slow down there Dionysus. You're going to have a wicked hangover in the morning" i said grabbing the bottle away from him.
"You're no fun, come on lets dance." Lovino said swaying his hips to the pounding beat.
"Okay, this is kinda funny. I however don't have the patience to play around when I could be on a date." I yelled over the music. I watched Lovino grab another boys arm and they started to dance. I then just shook my head and headed for the door.
"Hey! Dude, why you leaving my party so soon?" a voice said right behind me. Just by hearing his voice I knew who it was.
"I never meant to come here , Alfred" I said without turning around. "I have somewhere to be" I said touching the cold door handle.
"Thats too bad, because I think Mattie might need you" he said with a hint of concern.
"Mattie? Whats wrong? is he okay?" the worried protective side of me started to come out.
"Naw...he got his heart broken or something. I tried to help but he kept crying and I didn't know how to help from there" He said
"I understand, he's in his room?" Alfred gave a nod towards the stairs "Thanks" I said hurrying up stairs.
….
I twisted the handle of a door covered with maple leaves and a sign that read "Only Canadians Beyond This Point". Obviously avoiding the sign, I walked in to see a blond boy curled up in a ball on a plaid covered bed.
"Matt?" i said shutting the door and moving towards him
"Go away Alfred!" Matt yelled and at the same time as he threw a pillow that happened to hit my face. "Oh...its you" he said with a less re-leaved look and more disappointed more .
"Yeah...now don't get too excited." i said. I sounded so stupid but I figured I could make him laugh.
"You're not good at this...the cheering me up part" Matt said. His words struck me in the heart but I acted as if he didn't hurt me."You're better at comforting" he said opening his arms for a hug. which made me smile and walk over to him.
"I guess you're right…" I smiled and hugged my best friend.
Sniffling, Matt finally said "Don't you have a date or something today" He checked his watch and said "You must be very late now".
"She'll have to wait, friends come first" I said letting go of him. "Are you ok, now?"
"Yeah, Don't take this the wrong way Emil but can you get out? I'm kinda tired." said the yawning canadian.
"Yeah you had a long day. See you tomorrow." I whispered as I walked out I heard the door lock and then I headed downstairs to drag a drunk Italian outside, so we can leave this house.
