Marooned- Ch. 4
…
The two argued for hours over boundaries, me, fashion sense, and cooking. I might have caused World War 3 if the three of us had not been nearly late to the meeting. Luckily, I didn't have to sit next to either of them- I sat in between Alfred and Matthew.
Ludwig droned on and on before Feliciano filibustered, or at least I hope that's what it was, about pasta. The meeting was pretty unproductive and disorderly, but I'm glad that I got to meet Alfred.
…
"HEY YOU GUYS! I'VE GOT A NEW STATE!" Alfred shouted, pointing at me.
"Hi…Actually, I'm Sarah Williams. I am Molossia, which is a province, actually. But I'm still an American citizen." I said awkwardly.
"For now." Added Alfred.
After the meeting, he invited me for some burgers and shakes at a nearby restaurant. England's advice echoed in my head, so I said yes.
Alfred ordered our food. We quickly discovered our mutual interests; video games, music, and movies. His eyes glistened as I ate my cheeseburger with no ill remarks, which must have been a first for him.
"So…we're pretty much friends now, right?"
I nodded.
"Like you've got my back and I've got yours?"
"Always."
"SWEET! I need to show you Tony! You'd love him!"
He dragged me by the hand to his house across the street. We sat and played video games with Tony all night long. I yawned.
"Are you tired, sweetheart?" America asked in a low voice.
"Yes" I replied.
"Why don't I walk you home?"he asked.
"Yes, please."
Along the road, I saw a big, black snake. I squealed a bit, taking steps backwards.
"What's the matter, Sarah?"
"Snakes. I hate snakes."
He paused for a moment.
"You need to know something" he said.
"What?"
He scooped me up into his arms.
"I am the hero…" he whispered into my ear.
