Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia, only this story concept. Sorry for the time of the update, but it took me a while to get some of the wording right for this chapter. I just could not English today at all. Well, here it is, with a little more fluffiness for those who like it. Thanks for reading and enjoy the chapter.
I started awake in the middle of the night, awoken by some unknown force. I looked around and inwardly groaned when the digital clock next to the TV read two in the morning. The light from the blue TV screen allowed me to see Kiki passed out in my lap and Mattie passed out next to me. I got up quietly and carried Kiki to bed, tucking her in comfortably.
I walk back to the living room silently. When you have to work backstage during a live show, you learn to run fast in high heeled boots while being silent, so walking silently in socks was a piece of cake. I get back to the couch and shake Mattie a little. "Hey, Mattie, we should go to bed. Come on, I have a room you could use," I whisper to him. Mattie shifts his position a bit, but doesn't get up. Instead his hand latches onto the one I have on his arm, and he pulls me down into him. He wraps his arms around me and doesn't let go. I blush slightly, but just go with it; he has a ton of strength holding me down. I make myself comfortable and soon fall back asleep.
"HEY SISSY! When you're done sleeping with your boyfriend, we really need to get going!" a voice shouts at me. Mattie sits up quickly, jerking me awake with him. We look around and see Kiki standing next to the couch, dressed and ready for the day. "Are you going to get moving or are you missing school today?" she asks snidely.
I look at the digital clock and my eyes nearly bug out of my head. It was currently seven in the morning, and school started in twenty minutes. Kiki had to be at daycare in ten and I didn't know what I was doing with Mattie. "Alright Kiki, we have five minutes to gather our crap and go. You get the stuff in the car and I'll finish up here," I tell her. She nods, salutes me, and runs off. I try to get up, but am stopped by the arms around my waist. "Uh, Mattie, could you may be let go of me?" I ask him.
"Oh, Maple, sorry about that," he mumbles as he lets go. I notice his face has gotten a little red, so I smile at him and wave it off. I jump up and run to the bathroom. I brush my hair as I swish mouthwash around my mouth, and then apply a generous amount of perfume. In all it took me three minutes, a new record, to get ready. I run out and see Kiki and Mattie waiting in the living room. "Ready," they chorused.
"Then get your butts to the car, let's go people," I say as I hustle them to the car. Once everyone is buckled I channel my inner Italian and drive as fast as I can. I stop outside the daycare and wait for Kiki to get inside before going again. "Sorry for the speed Mattie, but we can't be late to your first day of school," I say when I glance over and see Mattie hanging on for dear life.
"I-it's okay Maple leaf, but m-maybe slow down a little b-bit. We have t-ten minutes until it's 7:20," he stammers out. I realize we are five minutes away from the school, so I slow down just a little bit. Mattie seems to physically relax and I feel bad for making him feel uncomfortable.
"So, what classes would you like to take while you go to school with me?" I ask him. I figure we should have choices ahead of time, maybe it won't take as long to get through the office then. Mattie seems to consider for a bit, leaving the car silent. I suddenly feel appreciative that he is a quiet country, I don't know if I could have handled an America this morning.
"Can I just get the same schedule as you? That way you can show me around the school and all," he says. I consider his point and realize how great of an idea it is.
"Alright then, sounds good, Now come one, we have to get your schedule," I say as I park the car in the student lot. We walk in right as the tardy bell rings, but I pride myself on making it anyway. "The office is this way," I say to Mattie. He nods as I lead him towards the glass door leading to the main office. The woman at the desk looks up and smiles at me as I walk in.
"Hello Sarah, are you feeling ok today? You're not usually late like this. Did something happen with your condition?" she asks with concern.
"Oh no, nothing like that Miss. Benkins, I just have a friend here who needs to be registered and given a schedule. Also, if his schedule could be exactly like mine that would be great," I whisper to her. Her eyes widen slightly, but she smiles and just gives me a wink.
"One second dear, I'll be right back with a form or two for you to fill out," she says sweetly. She gets up and walks to the hallway behind her desk, disappearing around the corner. I look at Mattie, who seems very confused about the whole thing.
"Miss. Benkins is a special sort of receptionist. If you get on her good side she'll do just about anything for you, but if you're on her bad side she'll make your life a living Hell. It's a good thing she pities me, or else you could have had lord knows what for classes," I explain to Mattie. He nods and squeezes Kumajiro, who I had just noticed. I don't remember him grabbing the polar bear, but just shrug it off.
I also notice his clothes for the first time; he's still wearing the coat and gloves from his package. I shrug it off though; it isn't that weird since its still winter. "Ok dear, just sign right here and I'll be able to give you his schedule," Miss. Benkins says while she walks back in. I nod and smile as I sigh the paper. She hands me a copy of my current schedule to give to Mattie. "Have a nice day you two," she calls as we leave.
"You too Miss. Benkins," I call back. I wave at her and lead Mattie into the main hallway. I hand him his schedule and notice the yellow hall passes on top. Each have been signed, but the date slots are empty, meaning I have about ten free passes to use. I smile at Mattie as we start walking towards first period. "First is English, then math, science, lunch, history, journalism, theatre, and finally home economics. A busy schedule if I do say so," I tell Mattie.
"I think I can handle it, as long as you're with me," Mattie says. I blush slightly and smile like a fool. It's not every day I get complimented by a hot Canadian. "Can I join you after school as well?" he asks me.
"Well, you'll have to ask the theatre directors to put you into costume crew if you want to, but I don't see why not. Oh, here's the class. Ready?" I ask him as we stare at the door. He nods, motioning for me to open the door. Thus began my first day of taking units to school.
I feel like the story is moving slowly, but I keep coming up with weird and funny scenarios for them. Don't worry, next chapter will have a unit arrival at the very end. Trust me, we need to cause even more chaos in Sarah's life. If you want a specific character for the next unit just comment. Thanks for reading and look forward to the next chapter.
