Knocking softly I waited for the usual tense "come in" that usually came. But it never did. Instead a stressed voice called out softly.
"Please come in Seychelles." I stepped in uneasily, mind still on the dance. Arthur barely look up from his work. Suddenly my mind came up with something and I froze ashamed of the thought. What if he asked me to the dance? Deep down I knew I would say yes in a heartbeat. I knew that wouldn`t happen but my heart still fluttered at the mental picture. "Are you just going to stand there all day?" He glanced up from his work captivating me in his emerald eyes. I quickly tore my eyes from his and sat down beside him. "Good. Now, shall we get started?"
"With?" I honestly didn`t remember at this point. He sighed.
"Do you forget everything you must do? How do you manage to keep up your grades?"
"Because you yell at me if I get below an "A" on anything, about how stupid I am and how can you let people think you were the owner of such things." I muttered angrily. Smirking he replied,
"I was under the impression you didn`t care what I said…" I felt my face grow hot.
"I- I don`t but no one in their right mind wants to be yelled at or lectured for two hours…especially by you." He smirked again nodding slowly.
"Right. Anyhow, I was more referring to your supposed detention. Luckily for you it will be a normal day as my colony and therefore not much of a punishment, unlike that perverted frog you were with. Tell me, did he try anything on you?" He glanced at me eyes carrying something that looked oddly like concern. I made the mistake of looking at him again, and again I was caught up in his eyes.
"N-no…nothing." I managed, trying to protect Francis for reasons unknown to even me. He raised an eyebrow shifting into a slight glare plus the concerned expression.
"Chelle. Don`t lie to me. I know him ,possibly even better than you." Which was true. As lifelong rivals, Arthur knew the Frenchman better than I. I looked at the floor.
"Alright, he did…but only a little bit." I added hurriedly. Anger mixed in with the already conflicting emotions on his face, along with something that looked oddly like jealousy.
"I knew it. What did he do?" He pushed, a demanding tone in his voice.
"Oh, just…you know…he just got a little grabby that's all…" I stalled bluntly.
"God damn it!" He hit the table. "You can`t let him get away with that! Excuse me I must go speak to him about this, damned Frenchman needs to keep his touchy hands off of other people. Make my tea, I want it hot, and you here, when I get back."
"How am I supposed to-and you`re gone."I added midsentence as he left me alone in the student council room, trying to figure out how to time his arrival perfectly. Going to the small kitchen area of the room I attempted, yet again at making presentable tea.
Just as I poured the glass cup full of the steaming liquid, presumably faster than I expected, someone came into the room. I blinked knowing him to be familiar but as soon as I tried to remember his name it slipped my mind. Wasn`t that the obnoxious American I had run into a few months ago? Who thought the whole world map was of the united freaking states? No, he was slightly different, quieter, shyer. Had it been Alfred, he would have made an entrance. But this boy seemed like he was trying to fade into the background. Jumping and dropping the cup in surprise I heard it shatter on the floor, spreading the disgusting liquid as far as the carpet.
"Oh, I`m sorry I didn`t mean to scare you, here let me help you with that eh?" He smiled shyly. He was definitely related to the cocky American though, however different he was. Yes I knew him, he was that boy everyone ignored or forgot, always sitting in the back of the class, even the teachers seemed to not know he was there, not even calling his name for attendance until he went to remind them. I smiled back dropping to my knees. He dropped beside me helping me with the fine china pieces of one of the precious tea cups England possessed. What was his name? Ma…matt…it was definitely Matt-something. Not paying attention I sliced my finger on the glass, and gasped. "Are you okay?" He asked concern in his face. Yes I knew him, I had hung around him when trying to escape, but I had drifted…if only I could remember his name! Had he always been this cute?
"I`m fine." I forced a smile through the pain, and wiping the blood that had risen to the surface of my skin on my dress. Yes England would be pissed at me for breaking his cup but my mind was elsewhere. Oh dear this was going to kill me, what the fuck was his name?!?!
"Matthew what are you doing here?" A very irritated England asked coming into the room. THAT WAS IT! Matthew, Matthew…I filed that into my brain so I wouldn`t forget again. Quickly he picked up the rest of the pieces, and wiped up the spilled liquid in one swipe, before the Brit could see it. Straitening up Matthew said in a cute Canadian accent,
"I was wondering why Chelle was in here just sitting alone making tea, so I came in to keep her company." He smiled. Well that just made me feel worse. He remembered my name, used my nickname and he cared that I was all alone yet I couldn`t manage to remember his name. Arthur turning to me and saying,
"I spoke to him, he is now stripped of his status as vice president. Also, Did you make it?" I blinked in shock.
"What? Why?"
"He was unfit to be so."
"Yes I made it…but…I…couldn`t find any cups."
"Nonsense! There was one right…where is it?"
"Where is what?" I asked playing dumb.
"The china cup that was right here." He glared at me. Looking away I lied.
"I don`t know." I Canadian was standing awkwardly slipping the shattered glass into the trash.
"Seychelles. Must you lie about everything? Are you going to make me ask Matthew?" I looked at my feet guiltily. But when I opened my mouth Matthew`s voice spoke out.
"When I came in here I went to help her and when I grabbed the cup it slipped from my fingers, eh."
