Have you ever thought about the idea of everyone in the world having a double? It's not normal for you to see your double, so why was this school full of them?
Arthur refused to believe that this… Oliver boy was his 'double'. They were nothing alike! Arthur had sandy blonde hair, Oliver had ash blonde hair. Arthur had stunning emerald eyes; Oliver had creepy un-natural violet colour eyes.
And so, our rather easily angered brit was stunned when Alfred had pointed out the very hard, painful truth that was Oliver.
But much to Arthur's surprise, most of the people he knew- Francis, Alfred, Feliciano, Ludwig- and such, all had their doubles also in this school. It was somewhat frightening to have so many in such a small school. But hey, it was entertaining. Those so called doubles, you see, were complete opposites of Arthur and his friends. This is why they simply did not get along. Most of the doubles were pretty creepy according to the northern Italian student, and even Ludwig admitted that a lot of them made him feel on edge. The worst one apparently was Luciano, whom most of the school was scared of. He and a few others were on the school American football team. There was a reason for the school to gain the 'don't mess with' title in the country.
Xxx October 15th xxX
Wednesdays.. Ludwig hated this day of the week the most. Not being it was right in the middle of the day- or because he had very boring and loud classes throughout. No. He had the weekly student council meeting that day. After recent events, Alfred was elected as student council president, leaving Ludwig to sit neatly as the Americans right hand man with the title of 'vice' president. Though these titles hardly made a difference to how the meetings would go down on a weekly basis. Alfred would shout out his ideas, and everyone else would talk over him- leaving Ludwig with a headache: trying to write everything down in his notebook. He never seemed to get a rest in these meetings. It seemed more like he had the leading position as he usually had that kind of expectation of being the one to quieten everyone down and keep the group organised with their campaigns and such. Though he didn't really hold that power, since Alfred was the one to make the final decisions and ordered him around.. But that was alright. Ludwig had his ways of manipulating the leaders mind so that he could do what he wanted. Just a simple suggestion and Alfred would be astounded and give the 'thumbs up'. Ludwig actually just wanted the credit his boss was getting from everyone else in the year. It was him doing the hard work after all. But better luck next time, right?
However, as Ludwig moved in to the usually energetically loud room, he was stunned by the deafening silence that sprung to his ears. What happened? It's like nobody was in the room- even though there were in fact about 7 others.
Alfred's and many others (aside from Gilberts and Antonio's) faces were deadly serious, and not a single person moved apart from Lovino and Feliciano (whom was trying to hug his brother's arm, only to be shoved off quickly).
After a few minutes of the German staring over at the round table of misfits, Alfred's head snapped round to snap the room out of the daze. "Yo Ludwig! Join us man!"
"Yes do join; we actually have something to talk about today."
"Ve alvays have something to talk about vhen awesome ist in zhe room!"
"Okay okay vhat ist it?" Ludwig quickly stopped the soon to be argument as he took his seat to the left of the egotistical, loud mouthed leader of room. Now, all the seats were filled and tucked away with their sitters under the oval oak table.
"We're thinking about what to do for Halloween next week!~" Feliciano cheered, yanking on his brothers arm slightly as he fist pumped the air.
"Oh..? Vell-"
"So! Here's what I was thinking dudes! We should have like, a totally awesome festival with all those scary stuff and a ghost hunt and all of that!" An American accent jumped in.
"Well I think we should just have a 'trick-or-treat' ing competition." A British one followed.
"Ohon- or we could 'ave ze whole school go onto ze field and watch a scary movie on a big screen.~" The French one cooed. "Zhat vay all of zhe couples can get togezher and get it on with zhe romance.~ Et all zhe singles will eizher hook up or 'az a good time with zheir friends.~"
"Dude we do that every year.. Let's get original here!" The American retorted.
"Oui, and yet Art'ur always seems to fall for ze same zhing and ends up in mon arms in zhe end of zhe night when we do 'ave zhe scary movies at Alfred's 'house trembling like a- OW! Mon dieu!"
"Get lost you bloody Frog! New plan! And I told you i'm not going to go to those things anymore!"
"Whaaa? Dude why?! They're so fun!"
The quieter of the bunch, Kiku, cleared his throat to try get the attention of someone.
"Alvight you mumbling fools, Kiku has un idea so listen; you've had your turns to put your ideas in!" Ludwig said sternly to the three louder peoples in the room.
"Uh- Thank you Ludwig."
The room became silent again as it went to listen to Kiku's idea.
".. Well in my country, we did this thing where everyone participating split into groups of two or three. And then we would go around the school in teams and try to take a tag from the other teams. The school has no lights on and everything, so it's rather scary. And groups usually set traps to-"
"Done! We're totally doing this man that sounds awesome!" The American once again stopped another member from talking, too exciting about it and the sudden idea of 'trap' triggering his interest further.
"Well it is something new.."
"Ja, but I vonder if ve vould be allowed in ze school after dark." Ludwig quickly added.
It didn't really matter though. The whole room seemed up to the idea and was raring to get on with organising such an event. They thought that it would be too much for the whole school to take part though, so they further discussed the event and decided on just their year group to take part- including the year council members in other years and their homeroom class mates also. That way it would be a little fairer and the numbers wouldn't be too large and chaotic. They would have a chance of their head teacher agreeing to this that way.
Arthur and Ludwig were sent out to print off the fliers Kiku and Alfred had quickly whizzed up on their apple laptops for a quick introduction of the event to the school's students. They didn't really need permission from the adults since they WERE the student council (A very skilled and highly regarded group of pulps that the school took pride in)
They also wanted to know if they could have a part in the school news paper to advertise the event. So the best way to get both of these done professionally was for them to simply sit and relax as the newspaper club do all the advertising fun.
So that is where they were off to: The discreet small chamber of which the newspaper club resided in hidden to the back of the school building. News was already getting round about this advertising need because to be frank, the two blondes were lost. Nobody dared enter the newspaper club's room, so nobody really knew where it was apart from a few teachers and the members themselves. Arthur and Ludwig had actually resulted into asking people around if they knew where it was, or if they could help find a member or two of said club to help them even: Let them know they were coming at least.
Ten minutes passed:
The blonde duo was now entering the land nobody entered.
The school never really was popular when it came to the back rooms, so the corridors weren't very busy at all. It was so quiet; you could hear your own heartbeat. Imagine what would happen if someone were to...
A firm grip on Arthur's right shoulder from behind him practically sent him flying 10 foot in the air. They didn't hear a single footstep- how could someone sneak up on them in this kind of silence? Arthur's sudden jump and shriek even made Ludwig's heart race and shift his whole body round. The Germans eyes bored down upon someone that looked rather familiar. Feliciano? .. But he looked different.
"Ciao, you were looking for the newspaper club, da?" The boy asked, lowering his tanned hand to his side with a smirk swiped across his lips.
"Ja-? You're one of them?"
"Da, what do you want?"
"We would like to request a few things of you. An article announcing the Halloween events of next week and a few fliers.. Your printers are the best in school after all, right? So we would like to use them if it is alright." The German put bluntly. Arthur slowly recovered from his mini heart attack and was now nodding at his class mate's words.
The newspaper club boys smirk grew wider as he listened to the tall male in front of him. Though he looked more excited like Feliciano, the pure colour of the... Russian Italian males eyes and hair made it seem more sadistic then pure-natured; It somewhat creped Arthur out as he could hardly read what the stranger was thinking.
Then, a hand was held out in front of Ludwig, and the mysterious man seemed to have a quick change of attitudes and appearance. He seemed more light-hearted and pure natured now. What the hell?
"Alright! I'll need to know more about this, but I can definitely do this for you by tomorrow. My name is Luciano, editor of the school newspaper." The boy naming himself Luciano declared. He seemed very confident in his words. The two were impressed.
Ludwig raised his hand to grasp the Italians rather cold and rough one and gave it a firm shake. "Ludvig Beilschmidt.. Und zhis ist-"
"Arthur Kirland.~" The Italian male purred, now grinning from ear to ear. "Vice president and treasurer of the student council; Aka: another one of the schools lackey's trained by the pathetic teachers that run it.~" Luciano said freely, as if he didn't have a fear on what would happen if a teacher were to hear him say those words.
The two blondes were pretty shocked. They didn't expect that sort of tone from Luciano after his last words of greetings.
After a few minutes of exchanging details and a little ideal chit-chat, Arthur and Ludwig said their goodbyes to the strange man before leaving to get on with their work. Ludwig could feel the persons eyes pierce through his shoulder blades. He was rather odd... Not someone to mess with he'd guessed. Arthur didn't seem to like him either from what he could tell. Arthur's eyes seemed to disagree with their encounter with this man very much. He didn't want to talk about it though in case it was to grow into something even more uncomfortable. But Ludwig couldn't help but wonder if the two had met somewhere before. Arthur didn't say a word-. Maybe he was just still pissing his pants from the touch.
Luciano's eyes finally turned along with his body as the two blondes disappeared down another corridor. He calmly walked hi way down another corridor further to the back of the school; stopped in front of a door; then carelessly opened it to reveal a few heads which all seemed to fling round to face the hard brown haired male standing in the doorway whose face was pretty much brimming with enthusiasm.
"Ciao guys.~ Seems like we have a new job to do.. Leonardo, start typing up this shit into an article. Flavio, re-do these designs.. They're shit too. We have a Halloween event to enjoy."
Suddenly, most of the people in the room began to move around, regardless of the fact that only two people were called out to do something. One figure approached Luciano to take a sheet of lined paper (which had notes scribbled down the margin) before leaving, then another figure followed, taking a memory stick (owned by Arthur).
The busy room seemed to drown out the sinister laughter of the leader of the club as said leader made his way over to his newly varnished desk in the back of the room.
"Next week is going to be... Fun.~"
