On November 3rd, Crocious was sitting in her Non-Western World sociology class. She had done this many times, but for some reason she simply couldn't focus that day. She turned instead to a blank sheet of paper and started doodling.

"Hey."

Crocious looked around at the doodles to see which one was trying to distract her further.

"Pst. Hey."

She found a little doodle of Prussia. "What?" she asked.

"I'm bored," the Prussia doodle said.

The student sighed and tried to refocus on the lecture of globalization and glocalization theories, but Prussia was insistent.

"Hey! Cro! I'm bored!"

"I get that," the student said. "Don't distract me."

"You're bored too," Prussia said. "Let's have some fun!"

"I need to pay attention, Gilbert. What if this stuff is on the test?"

"Come onnnnn," Prussia whined. "At least give me something fun to do!"

"Like what?"

Prussia thought for a second. "Ooh! Let me cook! Kesese!"

Crocious giggled. "Cook?"

"Yeah! I'm hungry!"

"Okay," Crocious said. "But only if you wear a frilly pink… NO! Gil, quit it! I have to pay attention!"

"Nuh-uh!" Prussia said. "This guy hasn't said anything you can't Google later! Play with me!"

"Gil, I like Professor Vladislava. We're going to start listening to him."

The doodle frowned. "Is that really his name?"

"Or Vyacheslav. Whatever."

The doodle paused. His eyes widened. "That… that accent…"

"Pretty, innit?"

"Is he… he's not… No way! Fuck that guy! Leave!"

Crocious was taken aback at the violence of Prussia's insistence. "What?"

"Fuck him! Let's go play on the internet!"

"Gil, relax," Cro said. "Just because he's Russian doesn't mean he's bad. He's actually a great guy!"

"Fuck you. No he's not."

"Gil you don't even know him. Hold still, kay? I'm gonna draw you in an apron."

"No, fuck you! That Soviet piece of crap! Run! Run away before he does something evil!"

Crocious sighed. "You're not going to let me pay attention, are you?"

"Internet internet internet!"

"Class class class!"

"Iiiiiiiiii'm sailiiiiiiing away…"

"Oh, now you're just being an asshole. Fine. SEVEN AM WAKING UP IN THE MORNING!"

"GAH! STOP! I HATE YOU!"

"Let me pay attention in class, Gilbert!"

"No! Commie bastard!"

"GOTTA BE FRESH GOTTA GO DOWNSTAIRS!"

"FUCK YOU!"

"The time is going, Gilbert! Ticking on and on! EVERYBODY'S RUSSIAN!"

"THOSE AREN'T EVEN THE WORDS!"

"Let me pay attention, you asshole!"

"FINE!" Prussia shouted. "FINE! Pay attention, you bitch! See what an education does for you! Fucking woman!"

Cro rolled her eyes and looked up. She gasped as every other student packed their bags and stood up to leave.

"Gil!" she hissed. "You made me miss the entire lecture!"

"Kesesesese!"
