Feliciano sat in math class, doodling in his notebook. He was trying to pay attention, he really was! Ludwig always says that if he didn't pay attention in class, he wouldn't go to college or get a good future or make enough to afford pasta some day! It all sounded very serious. It was just that math class was so boring, and it was almost lunch time. He had pasta for lunch today. Ve~pasta…

Suddenly, his phone vibrated. Feliciano jumped, then looked around guiltily. He sneakily pulled his phone out of his pocket. The call was from- Antonio? Ve~! He hadn't heard from Antonio in forever! Happily, he answered his phone.

"Antonio! How is Spain~?"

"Feli!" the voice from the phone sang back. "It was great! But now I am back and I have a question for you."

"You're back?" the Italian gasped. "That is wonderful! Fratello will be so pleased!"

Antonio chuckled. "Well, I hope so. But that brings me to my question. I just saw Lovi leaving with a tall, blond boy. Where are they going?"

Feli hummed and tilted his head, thinking. "Well, he left with Alfred of course. And it's lunchtime, so they must have gone to the cute little Italian place on the corner. They go there a lot because it is close by and cheap. Alfred usually ends up paying for both of them, you see."

There is a pause. Feliciano asked worriedly, "Antonio? Are you still there?"

"Si, si," the voice answered hurriedly. "Lo siento, I just got lost in my thoughts for a moment. I have to go now, but thanks, Feli!"

"Bye!" the little Italian answered, and hung up. Hmm, Antonio sounded strange at the end. He hoped that the Spanish boy was all right. Feliciano blinked as he saw his whole math class, including his teacher, staring at him. "What?" he asked, confused. Ludwig was turning a rather worrying shade of purple. Feli always told him that he needed to calm down, if he didn't want to have high blood pressure some day!

The teacher just slapped her palm on her forehead and thanked God that it was almost lunchtime.
