A/N: Part 2 of chapter 1 is up. This is mostly about Arthur's since they both haven't joined the mystery club yet. Alfred lives the typical stuck up rich kid life, which we all know what that's like because of anime/manga, t.v., and the movies. He plays a really small but important part in this chapter.

Thanks to those of you who have followed and or faved.

Warning: A little bit of flirting that is suggestive. And Alfred being an arse.


~Arthur's P.O.V~

I slowly walked to my English class dreading of what I was about to face. I loved English and was a master at it, but that wasn't what I was worried about. I was worried about what the students would do to me.

I wasn't really social so I didn't have many friends. Actually, the only friends I had weren't even human. I would most likely be the social outcast of the school.

I (unfortunately) arrived at my English class. The door was right there in front of me, a sign saying 'English 10 AP' in big black letters.

I just stood there, looking as if I expected the door to just suddenly open for me. I was about to reach for the handle when I heard students start to scramble around.

I turned to see a treo of cheerleaders walking down the hall and students rushing to get out of their way. This kind of freaked me out. What next? Were they going to give me a 'I'm in charge so don't mess with me or else' look?

If so then what cheesy movie was I transported into? Mean girls perhaps?

As they walked past me they did give me a look, but it wasn't the look I expected. Instead of giving me a 'I'm all that' look, they gave me a flirtatious one instead. The leader (I'm guessing the head cheerleader) of the treo stopped in front of me and twirled a lock of hair between her fingers.

"You must be the new kid." She stated.

"Yeah, so what?" I asked getting defensive but sounding as if I didn't care.

"Oooh, Hot and British. I like it." She said to her friends behind her.

I started to feel uncomfortable so I said the first thing that came to me, "Look, just say what you want to say and let me get to class. Frankly, I don't have time to deal with your whorish behavior."

She looked stunned that I said that. I watched as the whole hall tensed up in fear of what she would say. But I didn't wait. Instead I opened the door and walked into the classroom, not caring what others thought about me at that point.

As it turns out, my English class was actually quite enjoyable. The teacher was nice and the students didn't interrogate me like I thought they would. In fact, they tried to keep their distance.

I left the class, the teacher seemed to adore me since I knew so much about Jane Austen, her favorite writer.

I looked at my schedule and saw that I had maths next. I groaned in my head, maths was my worst subject.

I slowly made my way noticing that the students were in their own individual groups and would occasionally glare at their complete opposite. This was seriously getting strange.

As I made my way to class I accidentally bumped into a brown haired boy with a curl coming out the right side of his head. He glared at me but his eyes showed fear.

"Sorry about that. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." I apologized.

"Watch where you're going you British bastard." He said rudely.

We suddenly got into a glaring contest. I don't know why though. It felt as if something was forcing me to act this way.

Before a fight could start out a Hispanic man interrupted out glaring contest.

"Lovi, there you are~." He said hugging the boy.

"Let go of me you tomato eating bastard!" He shouted.

"Aww, but Lovino we're boyfriends. You should want me to come and rescue you. Después de todo tú eres mí princesa~." He said sounding as if he was trying to calm him down.

"Who are you calling a princess?!" Lovino shouted.

I looked away feeling ashamed for my behavior. It wasn't very gentlemanly of me. And as the bigger man I should apologize first.

"I'm terribly sorry for my actions. I don't know why I acted like that." I Apologized to the (arguing?) couple.

They looked at me stunned. I felt confused and then scared when I noticed that the whole hallway was quiet. I then did the next best thing, and that was to act like I didn't care and walk to my next class.

"See you around." I said putting my hands in my pockets and walked away.

'There's something seriously wrong with this place.' I thought.

When I got to my class I was surprised to see Matthew with a very loud albino. He looked to be laughing at whatever the teen was saying.

I walked up to them with a small smile on my face. "Hello Matthew."

"Oh, hello. I didn't know that we would have the same maths class together. Isn't that wonderful?" He asked with a nervous smile.

'Why was he so nervous?' I wondered.

"Definitely, it would be nice to have a friend in class together."

He looked stunned at what I said.

"We're friends?" He asked.

"I would hope so. You're the first normal person I've met so far. The principal being the second." I said with a friendly chuckle.

"Great, it's nice to have new friends." He said with a genuine smile.

"So this is the student you were talking about. He seems pretty awesome but obviously not as awesome as me." He said loudly.

'He has a big head.' I thought as he rambled on about what made him so much more awesome than others.

"Alright class time to get started." The teacher announced.

We started class and I have to say, it was extremely boring. The teacher kept droning on and on about equations that I already knew.

Luckily for me Matthew's boyfriend thought the same thing. We started passing notes.

Gilbert: Have u met anybody interesting yet? Names Gilbert Beilschmidt btw. But most people call me 'his awesomeness' ;-)'

Arthur: I hardly doubt that you're called 'His awesomeness'. As for meeting anyone interesting I guess I'd have to say yes. There was a boy named Lovino that I accidentally bumped into. He was very rude and we ended up in a glaring contest. We probably would have gotten in a fight if it another boy hadn't hugged him.

Gilbert: I k who u talkin bout. That's Lovino and his boyfriend/1 of my bff's Antonio Carriedo. They almost as awesome as me. Lovino act like he don't care but he does. Antonio's nice and cheerful but don't get on his bad side or you'll regret it.

~No real P.O.V since they're passing notes~

Arthur: They sound like good people.

Gilbert: Yep, just gotta get 2 k dem.

Matthew: What are you two talking about, eh?

Gilbert: To M: Our awesome friends Lovino and Antonio.

Matthew: To A: Did you meet them already Arthur?

Arthur: To M: Mhmm, I met them on the way here.

Matthew: To A: How?

Arthur: To M: I accidentally bumped into Lovino.

Gilbert: To M: Apparently they got into a glaring contest, kesesese.

Matthew: A glaring contest? Really. =_=

Arthur: I didn't know why but I felt as if I were being forced to do it.

Gilbert: To M: I think he might be able to help.

Matthew: To G: You really think so?

Gilbert: To M: Has the awesome me ever been wrong? Wait, don't answer that.

Matthew: To G: To late.

Arthur: What are you two talking about?

Matthew: The friends we wanted to introduce you to first.

Arthur: Cool. Who are they?

Matthew: To A: We'll introduce you to them at lunch.

~Back to Arthur's P.O.V~

We spent the rest of class passing notes, telling me all about their friends and the things they liked to do. It was such a lovely conversation and I found that I loved hanging out with them more than I thought I would.

Unfortunately we didn't have the next period together so we parted ways agreeing to meet up in the cafeteria. I quickly made my way to my next class not wanting to deal with anymore drama.

When I got there however I felt like running away. There sat Alfred, his expression showing excitement. I didn't know why nor did I care.

I sat down in the empty seat behind him, hoping that he wouldn't talk to me. Luckily for me he didn't. Instead he was flirting with some cute girls that were swarming around him.

"You are so amazingly strong." A blonde haired girl said feeling his mussels.

"Yea Alfie, I bet you're great under the sheets~." Another girl flirted.

"I sure am. But if you don't believe me then come over to my place and I can prove it." He flirted back.

"But what would Kiku say if he found out?" She asked. This caught my full attention and I brought out my phone and recorded this, pretending to mess with it.

"What would you do if your boytoy found out?" Asked the blonde.

"Then I'd tell him that I was drunk. He'd forgive me instantly." He said with a wink.

Both girls squealed. I didn't like some of these students, they were horrible people.

"Hey what's up?" Alfred asked startling me. I hadn't realized that the girls had left and turned his attention to me.

"Nothing, just reading a book online." I answered hoping that he would believe me.

"Cool, what book?" He asked trying to see the screen.

I quickly hid it and gave him a glare.

"The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett." I answered pretending to sound irritated.

"Whoa, what's with the attitude?" He asked sounding a little offended.

"I don't like to be interrupted when I'm reading."

"Oh, sorry 'bout that dude. Have to say, I like the sophisticated type." He said in a smooth tone.

'Did he just flirt with me? He'll no, he has a bloody boyfriend!' I thought angrily.

"Excuse me?" I asked indignantly.

"You heard me. I could rock your world in the bedroom." He said in a suggestive tone.

"How dare you! You have a boyfriend and I'm not just some whore that you can have a one night stand with." I growled.

"Chill dude, I was just messin around. I wouldn't actually cheat on my boyfriend." He said putting his arms in a defensive pose.

"But flirting is okay? That's a horrible way of thinking." I said hardening my glare.

"What he doesn't know won't hurt." He said trying to sound casual but actually sounding angry.

"Guess he'll know then because I'm going too tell him." I threatened.

"Like he'll believe you." He obviously didn't believe me.

I showed him the video. His face went white and his jaw dropped. "You said you were reading!" He accused.

"Obviously not. I don't like cheating of any kind so I do the right thing and tell when I see it happening. When I find out who your boyfriend is he'll finally know that you're a lying cheating wanker." I said crossing my arms.

"Delete it." He demanded.

"No."

"I said delete it. I'm the king of this school and I demand that you get rid of that video."

"No." I said again and sent the video to my older brothers, sister and Gmail account. My brothers and sister would know what I was doing and wouldn't question or delete it.

"What did you just do!?" He asked obviously worried.

"Sending the video to my brothers and sister." I answered.

"What are they going to do with it?"

"Nothing, just keep it safe for me." I answered with a smile.

He gave me a death glare. "Look kid, you don't want to mess with me. I run this place and let me tell you, I can make your life a living hell."

I just smirked and put my phone away. He looked like he was about to say something when the teacher entered the room.

I spent the whole period smiling in triumph even though all the girls and some boys in class were sending glares my way. But I didn't care. All I cared about was how I had won and meeting with Matthew and his friends in the cafeteria.


~Third P.O.V~

Arthur was excited as he hurried to to the cafeteria. After his encounter with Alfred he was looking forward to hanging out with Matthew and his friends who could end up becoming his as well.

Alfred on the other hand was pissed off. Arthur was going to ruin his reputation. He had to do something.

After he ordered his usual burgers and fries he sat down at the popular table. Which consisted of cheerleaders and jocks. He sat next to his frenemy Ivan and the head cheerleader, Emma Dumont (Belgium).

Everyone could feel the tension Alfred was emitting. Finally Emma asked what was wrong.

"What's wrong Alfred?"

"Nothing." He answered grumpily.

"C'Mon comrade. Tell us what's wrong~." Ivan said with his usual creepy smile.

After about five minutes of them staring at him he gave in. "Fine, it's that new kid, Arthur Kirkland."

"Arthur? That's his name huh? I talked to him earlier. He said that he didn't have time for my whorish behavior." Emma said looking over at the 'Abnormal's' table.

"Really? That's not nice. I should teach him a lesson." Ivan said a dark aura surrounding him.

"Don't, he's perfect for the role of the punk. Something our group has been missing." She said with a smile.

"Dude, no. He's threatening to show Kiku a video of me flirting with two girls. We need to make him the social outcast." Alfred argued.

"He won't once we make him one of us. Trust me Alfred, I know what I'm doing." Emma said trying to convince the football jock.

"Fine, but if Kiku finds out you better fix it."

"Deal."

"This will be interesting, da?"

At the other side of the cafeteria Arthur was having a great time getting to know Matthew and Gilbert's friends. The only one he didn't seem to get along with was a French boy named Francis.

"You're not such a bad guy Arthur. I say you're officially in the mystery club." Elizaveta said holding her boyfriend, Roderick Edelstein's hand.

"You're in the club?!"

"Yep, I'm the president since I started it." Elizaveta said proudly.

"So this was a test to see if people are aloud to join?" Arthur asked deadpaning.

"Of course, we find it easier for the person to act natural and not so tense." She explained happily.

'She has a point.' Arthur thought.

"Welcome to the club mí amigo." Antonio said patting him on the back.

"Oui, welcome." Francis said with a small smile.

"Especially me since we've become great friends." Matthew said happily.

"The awesome me agrees, your pretty awesome so we had to let you in.

Everyone else pretty much said the same thing or nodded their head.

"So what do we do in the club?" Arthur asked.

Everyone looked around to make sure no one was watching or eavesdropping. This kind of freaked Arthur out.

Elizaveta leaned over the table and whispered, "There's been some strange things going on. First, people started hanging around others that were extremely like them. Second, the teachers ignore all the bullying that's been going on. The school used to be against that kind of thing big time. Now it's as if they support it. And finally, people started to change. For instance, Emma used to be one of the sweetest girls in school along with Lilly and Angelique. They were known as the four sweet Musketeers . Now it's like they became their complete opposites." She said with a sad frown.

"Wait, four? Who's the fourth?" Arthur asked confused.

"Me." Arthur looked behind himself to see a girl with huge breasts.

"There you are Katyusha. We were getting worried." Francis said dramatically.

"I'm sorry. One of the populars started hitting on me and wouldn't leave me alone until brother Ivan stepped in." She apologized frantically.

"Are you alright love?" Arthur asked worried for the obviously kind girl.

Katyusha looked at him and gave him a hug. Arthur tried to get away since her breasts kept him from breathing. Usually guys would enjoy this but Arthur was gay so he didn't care about them."

"Welcome to the club. I'm Katyusha Braginskaya, Ivan's and Netalia's older sister. You must be the new student Arthur Kirkland." She said after she let him go.

After taking a few breaths of air he asked, "How do you know my name and that the club accepted me?"

"Oh that's easy, when I saw Eliza whisper to you I knew that you were accepted. And you're the talk of the school. It's impossible to not know about you. You aren't like the rest of the students. I'm so glad that you became friends with us."

"As am I. You guys seem to be the only nice and normal people here." Arthur said glaring at Alfred.

Matthew noticed that and spoke up, "Alfred didn't used to be like that. He was actually a very kind and nerdy person. Even though he was loud and a little rude, he always managed to bring a smile to people's faces. But now he acts like he has a heart of ice. He makes people cry instead of making them feel better. He changed in one day."

This caught Arthur's interest. It was impossible for a person to change in one day like that.

"When did it start?"

"In the middle of the first semester, I think."

"And it literally happened in one day?"

"Y-yes, why a-are you asking me about this?" Matthew asked nervously.

"Because, I think I know what's going on with the school." Arthur said positive that he was correct.

"Then tell us." Elizaveta said excitedly, wanting to know what Arthur had come up with.

"It's a little hard to believe." Arthur warned.

"Oh please, were willing to believe anything at this point." Francis said feeling bored.

"Alright, it has to do with..." Everyone around the table leaned in closer, "with..." Arthur didn't know how to say it. Usually people don't believe him.

"Just say it already!" Elizaveta screeched.

"Magic."


A/N: And I end it there. I didn't really know where I was going with this chapter and expected it to be extremely short. Turns out I was wrong. And yes, there's going to be magic in this but mostly for the main story. They'll still solving mysteries like regular detectives. Alfred might not be an actual jerk after all.

I'll probably update this every Friday or Saturday. Depends on how my week goes.

(Explanation of 'English 10 AP')
For those of you who don't/didn't go to the same type of school I did I'll explain a few things. English 10 AP is the highest type of class you can get.
English= Regular class English Honors= Advanced English AP= College level The number represented the grade. In other words Arthur's a sophomore or in grade 10.
