Michelle walked down the halls confidently. She grinned at everyone she saw, no one grinned back. She wondered why no one was being friendly. Then she realized that here in America, people don't care about other people as much, just themselves. The only time they do care about other people is when drama happens. Michelle hates drama. Why? She believes people should help or give support when others have problems, not spread it around for entertainment. She doesn't understand Americans. She entered the cafeteria and sat down with her sack lunch, a tuna sandwich that her papa made. Lucille came over and sat down across from her.

"So," Michelle started. "Anything new?"

"I got a boyfriend." Lucille said nonchalantly.

"What?! What's his name?"

"Sebastian Vargas, he's the younger brother of those twins from Italy."

"Ugh, lucky!" Michelle crossed her arms.

Lucille rested her hand on Michelle's shoulder. "Don't worry, someday you'll have one too, whatever gender they are."

"Hey! I'm not gay! My brothers are."

"I'm going to tell them that you said that."

"No!" It was too late. Lucille got up and walked over to the boys' table. She told them something, they looked over to Michelle. Alfred started laughing hysterically and Matthew slid down in his seat. Michelle banged her head on the table and Lucille smiled back at her.

"I can't believe you." she grumbled.

"Should of thought before you talked." Lucille quipped.

Alfred was still giggling about Michelle's comment. He knew he wasn't gay, but when he thought about it, he acted pretty gay. Matthew on the other hand, Alfred knows he's gay. Everyone in the family knows that Mattie has a crush on Gilbert, except for their dad. Arthur doesn't know a thing about the teens' social lives. He's too busy reading Sherlock Holmes and drinking tea.

Alfred pretended to not pay attention and purposely bumped into Natalia, knocking her books out of her hands. Alfred reached down to help her pick them up.

"Don't help me." Natalia slapped his hand.

"Why not?" Alfred asked while rubbing his hand.

"Because I know you're trying to be the stereotypical jock that falls in love with the unpopular nerdy girl in the 80s teen movies. It's not going to work, I don't like you, so just give up!" She grabbed her books and stomped away. How could she not like him? He's attractive. He's funny. He's strong. He's nice. There's nothing bad about him. How could she turn down a chance to date the most popular guy in school. Maybe that's the reason. He's popular. Natalia's never been the type of person to enjoy the spotlight.

A girl with short brown hair goes up to him and gets uncomfortably close.

"So, tonight my parents aren't going to be home. Do you want to come over, maybe?" She asked.

"I don't even know who you are!" Alfred said uneasily. "Not burst your bubble, but no."

She scoffed and walked away. At first all these girls seemed great, but now it's just tiring. He really needed to lock himself up, but the only girl he likes is Natalia.

"I could go for Michelle's friend, I think her name's Lucy or something," Alfred thought. "but Michelle would probably hate me for taking her only friend."

Then Alfred got to thinking. Michelle literally only has one friend. He's going to have to help her get more friends. He knows a few girls that would be more than willing to be her friend. Elizabeta, Wendy, Lilli, and Bella would all probably like to know her. But how would he get them to meet? He didn't know, but he will find a way to make his sister happy.
