0o0o0o0o0o0

After a couple more classes, I found myself among my group of friends, eating lunch and chatting with the new girl, Joley. Now that I've met her, the rumors started on the school blog about her were absolutely wrong. I hope. This is just her first day, after all.

She seemed just so innocent and childlike that I couldn't help but feel protective over her almost instantly. She seemed to remind me of a character from a children's story, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I know that Lovino's taken a bit of a shine to her from what Kiku told me about what happened in the library. I would've told him that his older brother instincts kicked in, but then again, he'll probably just smack me and deny it.

I chuckled quietly at the thought and looked around at the group. Alfred was talking, as usual, with his mouth full of those rubbish hamburgers, to Matthew. The Canadian wasn't paying much attention thought because he was watching, with Kiku and Lovino, Joley as she struggled to use the chopsticks Kiku had given her earlier. Each time she tried to pick up some pasta, the noodles just slipped from the sticks on the way to her mouth. Seemingly frustrated, Lovino grabbed the chopsticks out of Joley's hand, picked up some of her leftover pasta, and with a red face, offered the food to Joley.

"H-h-here."

"Huh?"

"J-Just open your mouth."

Joley stared at Lovino then opened her mouth. "Ahh."

Lovino smirked at the fellow brunette and fed her the pasta, which Joley ate with a happy smile.

As if just realizing that we were there, Lovino's face turned a violent shade of red and he grumbled, "Stop staring, bastards."

Kiku, Matthew, and I just chuckled at how 'motherly' Lovino was to the new girl while Alfred, unable to read the atmosphere just asked, "What?"

"Nothing, love, just keep on eating," I chuckled to my boyfriend, who shrugged and continued eating his food. If it could be classified as that.

"Alfred?" Joley asked, turning to the blonde.

"'Sup?"

"Uh, I know this might sound weird, but, uh, what are you eating?"

"…"

"Alfred-kun?"

"Al?"

"Burger bastard, snap out of it."

We all watched the American apprehensively as his head was bowed and expression was unreadable. He silently got up and walked to Joley, who looked scared out of her wits, the poor thing. I would know. I silent Alfred is a scary Alfred.

"Uh Al-"

But Joley's never finished her sentence as Alfred, gently—well, as gently as you can shove a burger into someone's mouth—put the burger into her mouth and Joley fell out of her seat from the pressure.

"Al!"

"Bastard! Don't try killing her!" Lovino shouted, at the American.

We all held our breath, waiting for Joley to resurface, hopefully alive from Alfred's burger attack.

"…Joley?"

Kiku was the bravest of us all to look at how the brunette was, as he got up and looked down at the floor before gasping. "A-A-A-Alfred," Kiku said, eyes wide. "What was in that burger?"

"What? Oh, just the usual. Bread, lettuce, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, onions, bacon, tomatoes-" Alfred went on, continuing to list the ingredients. Lovino and Matthew got up as well, looked down and both of their eyes widened also. "-and cheese, since it was after all, a cheese burger," Alfred chuckled. Lovino silently whispered something to Matthew who just nodded and walked over to the still chuckling Alfred. Lovino quickly said something to Kiku, who nodded and ran out the cafeteria. Lovino then pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number I hoped I wouldn't see so soon in the school year.

"Hey bro, can you believe that Joley asked me what a hamburger wa-" Alfred's words stopped when Matthew firmly slapped his brother across the face.

"You idiot."

"Hey! What did I fucking do, Mattie?" Alfred yelled at his sibling, grabbing the attention from most of the cafeteria as they watched the drama unfold.

"One, you shoved a fucking hamburger down someone's throat, and two, you shoved down one of Joley's allergies down her throat!" Matthew growled, his temper, rare, but still something to be fearful of.

"What?" Alfred croaked, cradling his cheek.

"She's allergic to cheese!"

"What?" Alfred repeated. "H-H-How do you know?"

"Lovino told me. When he tasted her pasta earlier, it didn't have a hint of cheese. And plus," Matthew pulled out a sheet of paper out of his pocket, showing it to Alfred, "she dropped her list of allergies earlier. I was going to give them to her, but," Matthew sighed, taking off his eyeglasses and rubbing his eyes. "Well, now, we just have to wait."

We heard ambulance sirens before seeing the medics burst through the doors, the principal and Kiku at their heels. The medics gently pushed a shocked Lovino away who seemed frozen in place as the medics put an unconscious Joley on the stretcher, and an oxygen mask keeping her breathing. They wheeled Joley out the doors, some people recording the whole scene on their phones, while Lovino and Matthew, who spared a glance at his brother, shook his head, then followed after Joley and the medics out the cafeteria.

I got up and walked over to Alfred whose head was bowed and he was visibly shaking. My boyfriend senses tingling, I wrapped my arms around the taller blonde and held him close.

I sighed. What a day. And it was only lunch.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

I blinked open my eyes slowly, as if waking up from a deep sleep. I felt a slight weight at my arm. I opened my eyes slightly and saw a transparent cord coming from my arm. I followed the cord up and saw it coming out of a clear upside down bag filled in what looked like water. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw several bunches of flowers and tiny toys crowding the table. I open my eyes wider before closing them because of the bright lights. I slowly opened one at a time and glance around the room. I was in a hospital room. If soap opera dramas are right, my hunky doctor involved in a love triangle and who is the long lost son of his rival's mother should be coming in right…about…

"Ah, I see you're awake," the doctor said, coming in through the door with a clipboard. "You're lucky that whatever you seemed to eat was just one of your minor allergies and not a major one," the blonde told me with a smile. He walked over to my side and checked the bag hanging. "Your parents," he chuckled, "are in their car, anxiously waiting to bring you back home. And your friends are waiting in the lobby for the second day in a row," the doctor chuckled again. "They were the ones that brought all of this," he gestured to my bedside, "in."

"Uh, doctor…" I glanced at his name tag, "Chase?"

"Yes?"

"Uh, what exactly happened?"

The doctor glanced at me and took out a flashlight from his white lab coat pocket. "What do you remember?" He asked. Then clicked on the flashlight and ordered, "Follow my finger."

"Um," I started, racking my memory and following his finger with my eyes, "I asked my friend what he was eating, then he shoved some down my throat."

The doctor stopped, turned off the flashlight, and smiled again, shaking his head. "Kids these days," he muttered. "Sorry. I thought for a second you may have gotten amnesia, so I was just checking. I was also wondering why a brunette boy with a strange curl coming out of his head, kept glaring and smacking another guy who looked depressed."

I blinked. "Oh, Lovino and Alfred."

"Love interests?" Dr. Chase asked with a smirk.

I blushed and shook my head. "N-n-no. I just met them today and one has a boyfriend and the other…" I trailed off. "I think he likes someone else."

Dr. Chase nodded, "I understand. There's nothing more confusing than teen love," he sighed, writing more things on his clipboard and heading for the door. "Or just love in general."

"Have you been in love, Dr. Chase?" I asked him. He stopped and glanced over his shoulder.

"Just once, but I blew it."

I nodded. "I understand," I repeated.

Dr. Chase smiled gently and asked, "Are you ready for a stampede?"

"Huh?"

Dr. Chase opened the door and leaned out and shouted down the hall, "She's awake! Go get her boys!"

I heard a chorus of pounding feet and squeaky sneakers as Dr. Chase shouted, "Good luck," at me before I felt I was smothered under bunches of bodies that all seemed to talk at once.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so so so so so so so so so so sorry, Joley! I-I-I-I didn't know you were allergic, and now I feel so totally un-heroic-"

"Idiot! How could you let him shove a burger in your mouth? You have to be more careful, stupid! I can't believe-"

"Are you alright, love? Alfred, don't be such an idiot next time! You could have killed her-"

"But I didn't, well, I hope I didn't. Now I hope we are t-t-t-talking to a g-g-g-g a ghost! AH!-"

"Don't be stupid, burger bastard! She's not a ghost! If she were a ghost, I'll kill you and make you a ghost too you-"

"Ah, excuse me?"

"Really? I'll like to see you try Mr. Pasta!"

"A-A-Alfred-kun?"

"Oh that's it, I'm going to beat your ass!"

"Lovino-kun, that's not very nice-"

"EVERYONE, SHUT UP!"

As everyone finally got off of me, we all turn towards the door to see an anxious Kiku and Matthew who had placed his palm on his face, both standing next to Dr. Chase.

"Please be more quiet, remember, there are other patients here," he scolded. "I'm going to leave you guys alone for about," the doctor glances at his watch, "thirty minutes. Then we'll run a few tests to see if Joley can go home."

"How about-"

"No, Mr. Kirkland, you may not try any magic here. Not today please. I would rather not deal with yet another case after, Mr. Bonnefoy's case," the doctor shuddered before ushering in Kiku and Matthew into the room, closing the door after them.

"So," I started, "anyone have any, uh, food? Because, I'm sort of hungry."

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

I stared at the girl surrounded by her male companions and shook my head. Why do I have the oddest feeling that I'll be seeing her more often than I should?

And why does this seem like a bad romantic comedy scenario already?

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

The rest of the week went off without a hitch, well, as smoothly as the group's weeks go now, since Joley joined them. The oddest and worst event would have to be what happened on Friday though…

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

After Joley's accident, the Bad Friends Trio, seemed, key word, seemed. Depending on context, can be synonym to pretend. They seemed to be concerned for her because they always kept looking for her. Arthur, with the help of Alfred, Lovino, and I all did our best to either steer Joley clear from them or point the trio in the wrong direction to sneak Joley off somewhere else.

It wasn't that bad of a strategy until lunch on Friday. We were all eating and chatting until Joley brought up the trio.

"Hey, um, guys?" Joley hesitated. "I read the strangest thing on the blog the other day," Joley started, "it said that Antonio, Francis, and Gilbert are the, what was it called? Had Nut Trio? No. Good Hut Beemo? No….I got it!" Joley snapped her fingers excitedly. "Bad Friends Trio! Why are they called….that…."Joley trailed off, somehow sensing how the mood sort of darkened.

Kiku sighed and being the bravest of them all, explained to Joley.

"Joley, have you watched Ouran High School Host Club?"

Involving an anime.

Joley nodded energetically. "The only anime I've ever watched, actually."

Kiku's face lit up with a smile, suddenly remembering the topic he was discussing, erased all signs of happiness from his face. "You know how Tamaki explained to Haruhi all the types of boys they had in the club? Tamaki the princely type. Kyoya the cool type. Hitachin twins, the mischievous type. Honey the boy Lolita. And Mori the silent type."

Joley nodded once again.

"Well, Antonio-san, Gilbert-san, and Francis-san, in other words, are sort of like that," Kiku attempted to explain.

This time, Joley's head cocked to the side in confusion.

"They are like, someone's greatest love desires. For example, you know how Antonio-san is very, cheerful and adorable like a puppy," at this comment Joley giggled and shook her head, "well, he is like Honey in a way. But according to what I've heard, he is quite the passionate partner when quite intimate with another," Kiku said cooly, as he avoided looking at Lovino who scowled and turned away, his face a bright shade of red.

"Intimate?" Joley asked, staring at Kiku.

My eyes widened in realization as I came up with a small theory. "Uh, Joley? You do know where babies come from, right?" I asked, wondering if my theory was right, but hoping it was wrong.

Joley's face bloomed an innocent shade of red, and shook her head. "S-S-S-Should I know?"

I saw everyone's eyes widen as I realized that one of us has to explain the 'birds and the bees' to Joley.

"W-We'll save that for another time," Arthur interrupted.

Joley nodded.

"And Francis-san, well, he is more like Tamaki in a way," Kiku continued on explaining, a hint of pink dusting his cheeks. "Like the princely type, he's very into romance and roses and love. From what I've heard, his love is like visiting the city, Paris, during spring time. Very beautiful and gentle like a sakura blossom or a ballerina," Kiku added.

It was my turn to blush as I frowned and looked away, remembering the past.

"What about Gilbert?" Joley asked.

"Actually, why don't you guess?" Kiku smiled. "I am quite curious to hear what type you think he is."

Joley pondered for a minute, then lit up, finally figuring it out. "He's the mischievous type. Possibly bad boy material, but more of a jokester and I think he appeals to people's desire to rebel. I think he's rough on the outside, but soft on the inside-"

Kiku chuckled, "I think you are describing Lovino-kun."

Said Lovino blushed and scowled as the table laughed.

From the corner of my eye, I spotted the trio enter the cafeteria, my laughter dying. All of their eyes scanned through the tables before a certain set of blue locked with mine. His smile grew seductively as he turned back to the other two.

Kiku and Lovino and Arthur turned around and glanced at the trio that seemed a bit distracted from other tables, but seemed to be steadily making their way to ours. The Brit then turned to Alfred and whispered in his ear. My sibling nodded, a rare serious expression on his face.

My eyes widened and I turned towards Joley. I got up from my seat and walked over to Joley.

"Hey, Mattie, what is up?" She asked awkwardly after Alfred explained to her what the slang meant.

I smiled gently at Joley. "Joley, why don't we play hide and seek?"

"Really?"

I nodded. "I'll count, and you can hide anywhere in the cafeteria, but you have to be quiet. If I can't find you, either one of us will call your name, but you can only answer to us or a teacher, okay Joley?"

Joley nodded excitedly. "Wow. It's the first time I'm playing this game with people my own age. Usually my parents would get bored and I would have to come out on my own."

I smiled at her. She strangely reminded me of an innocent doe, with her brown eyes and eager smile.

"One, two, three," I counted. I peeked through my eyes slightly to see Joley scurry off to the opposite side of the cafeteria, looking around before talking to a couple of students and ducking under a table.

Making sure Joley was well hidden and actually remembering where she hid, I opened my eyes and sat down again.

"Bro, even though I didn't do it, but I feel just plain dirty, sort of lying to her, you know?" Alfred said, using one hand to run through his hair, the other to continue eating his burger.

I sighed. "I feel terrible. Like I've kicked a puppy or something. Imagine if they don't leave in time. Joley would be stuck there. Waiting."

We all acted normal, well, as normal as you can act after seeing someone duck under a table full of students, as the trio came closer.

"Hola amigos!" Antonio grinned, practically radiating off sunshine and happiness. "Dónde está la nina bonita, Joley?"

We all stared blankly at the Spaniard who sighed at being misunderstood. "Hey guys. Where's Joley?" he translated.

"She went to the bathroom after trying some of Arthur's food," Alfred joked, making the Brit scowl.

"My food is not terrible, thank you very much," Arthur retorted, fuming.

"Uh, oui. It is," Francis scoffed, flipping his hair.

"Well, if she's in the bathroom," Gilbert shrugged, grabbing an extra chair from another table, "we'll just wait for her."

Francis and Antonio nodded, doing the same and sitting down all around us.

I gulped and spared Kiku a nervous glance.

What now?

"Flying burgers," Alfred said, snapping his fingers in fake remembrance, "I forgot to talk to Tori about our history project. I'm going to go find him to talk about it right now," Alfred lied, bidding the table goodbye before bounding over to the other side of the cafeteria where Toris Lorinaitis and his boyfriend, Feliks Lukasiewicz sat, chatting with Raivis Galante and Eduard Von Bock.

Alfred glanced over at me and mouthed, 'Are they watching me?'

I shook my head, as if trying to shoo a bug away.

Alfred nodded in confirmation and snuck over to what people called the Nordics' table since all of them were from the North of Europe.

"Matthieu, what are you staring at?" Francis asked me, looking over to try to see what I was staring at.

I shrugged. "Just daydreaming," I lied.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"And this is m'w'fe, Tino," Berwald introduced the final member of the table.

Tino blushed and waved his hands in front of himself, denying the truth once again. "I'm not his wife! Honest!"

"Yet," Berwald muttered.

Joley laughed seeming like she enjoyed talking to us. At first, I was a bit apprehensive when the new girl came over, then I became even more confused when she ducked under our table for about a good two minutes before my older brother, Nikolai, asked her what she was doing. She explained that she and her friend, Matthew, were playing hide and seek. She was hiding and he was seeking.

I glanced over at the table and only saw Alfred, Arthur, the Bad Friends Trio, Lovino, and Kiku sitting at the table but no Matthew. I told the girl what I saw and she nodded and got out from under the table. She thanked us for not giving her away, until Tino invited her to sit down. She accepted, sat, and started chatting with Tino and Mathias.

"So, Joley, how do you like the school? Got anyone you like?"

Joley nodded. "Of course, there's Alfred, Arthur, Lovi, Kiku-" she started counting off of her fingers.

Mathias laughed loudly at her. "No, I mean, like, like, like," he emphasized. I looked at Joley who was blushing profusely.

"No," she shook her head.

Mathias's smile grew wider and he leaned towards the brunette. "Then what do you think if we went on a da-"

Nikolai had gotten up and started pulling on Mathias' tie, choking him. "Stop hitting on her idiot," Nikolai deadpanned as he continued strangling the Danish boy.

"Ack! St-Stop! Niko!" Mathias wheezed.

Joley's eyes widened even more. I patted her on the back wordlessly. "This happens daily. Don't worry."

Joley nodded mutely, as Mathias and Nikolai had continued to argue.

"O-Okay! Okay! I-I-I'll stop! Just stop pulling on my tie!" Mathias shouted. Nikolai gave one final tug before letting go and sitting back down in his seat. "Jeez, Niko, I thought you were about to kill me back there."

"There were too many witnesses and I don't want to kill in front of the new kid," Nikolai huffed in his monotone voice.

I leaned over to Joley and loudly whispered into her ear, "It's only because Nikolai and Mathias like like each other."

Joley giggled as I turned back to my brother with a smirk on my face.

"Big brother."

My glorious smirk turned into a pouting frown as he kept repeating those two words.

"Big brother. Big brother. Big brother. Big brother. Big brother. Big brother. Big bro-" Nikolai continued as Tino, Mathias, and Joley laughed while Berwald gave a hint of a smile.

Joley stopped laughing before asking, "Why big brother?"

"It's because-" Mathias started before I grabbed his tie and pulled upwards, starting to choke him. "H-H-Hey! Lukas! Not! Ack! You too!"

I ignored him and continued pulling. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Nikolai give a faint smile.

"I taught you well. Little brother."

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"So," Gilbert started, "she sure is taking her time."

"Must be very sick," Matthew nodded, before the group heard some strangling being done by a certain Norwegian and his Icelandic brother to a certain Dane and turned their heads in that direction.

The Trio of Badness saw Joley sitting among them along with Alfred, all laughing together.

"Oh! It's petite Joley!" Francis said, pointing out the obvious as he and Antonio and Gilbert all got up from their seats and started running to the other side of the cafeteria.

"Shit! Quick, what do we do?" Lovino panicked.

Matthew looked to Kiku, and Arthur looked to Kiku and Kiku looked to Arthur's homemade scones.

"May I borrow these?" Kiku asked the Brit who nodded.

"Wait, what are you going to do with tho-"

Kiku managed to fling the hockey puck look-a-like scones at the trio, effectively knocking them down to the ground.

But one of the scones managed to bounce off of Antonio's head and in front of Joley. She looked a little surprised from the sudden appearance of the scone, but shook it off and picked up the pastry, if it could be called that after what Kiku used it for, and examined it.

"What's that?" Mathias asked, looking a little intrigued at the scone.

"I don't know," Joley answered. She turned the scone around some more before taking a small nibble of it.

"NO!" Everyone shouted at Joley who got frightened at the volume of the voices, managed to swallow down the strange scone.

"Eep! What?" Joley asked, looking around at everyone. Suddenly Alfred was by her side, bawling big fat tears.

"Oh no! Now you're going to die, dear Joley! You ate Arthur's cooking!"

"Oi!"

"What was wrong with it?" Joley asked, putting the leftover scone on the table and pushing it away.

"It was made by Arthur!" Alfred shouted, grabbing the girl's shoulders and shaking her. "Now you're going to die!"

"I, actually, feel," Joley stuttered, looking very pale and sickly, "quite, ill….right….now." Joley let out a small gasp before fainting in Alfred's arms.

"Why must the good die so young?!" he moaned.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"It hasn't even been a week, yet I'm seeing you already," I told my new regular patient who just smiled and went back to sleep. I exited the room to see her parents waiting anxiously outside the bedroom door.

"Is she alright?" they asked.

I nodded. "She's going to be fine. Just came down with a fever, but that's about it."

Both parents glanced at each other then grabbed my arms and dragged me out of the house. The dad pulled out his phone and dialed and waited a few more seconds.

"Yes? Hello? Kirkland or Jones or Williams or Honda or Vargas, which ever you are, can you come over to our house right now? Joley needs you," he said urgently, rattling off the address before closing the phone and sighing.

"What's wrong?" I asked, very confused as I rubbed my arms.

"Doctor, there's something you should know about Joley when she's sick..."

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

What could it be? And who honestly saw any of that coming?!

No? Well, I guess it's just me then.
