Chapter 7: And they say high school is the best time of your life.


"What are you two trying to pull?" Mr. Vargas, the head of the school told them in a serious tone, very much unlike his personality could do.

"Nothing, nothing at all, Mr. Vargas." Ivan smiled couldn't even hide the implied lies. How often do you see two people that hate each other walking to school? It's an even more questionable when one of them has a fat swelling bruise on their face? Especially when even the teachers heard of their fights?

"Jones, tell me the truth. You're an excellent student." He turned to his only other option. Ivan was worthless in giving information, how convenient Gilbert got beat on school grounds, and no one didn't see a thing. Convenient.

'Alfred' slumped back into her chair, looking at the creamy pastel green walls surrounding them. She visited this room often enough to call Principal Vargas her grandfather, and cared for her gang like his own his children. The Italian had two grandchildren- but most of the students suspected he had others, but didn't say a word.

Ivan smiled bigger. "Da, Fredka, why don't you tell him the truth?" He turned his head to watch her panic start.

She mumbled something below hearing range, but visibly tensed under the questioning of the truth. That fucken commie is trying to get me caught. I hate him...so...much...why him...why him...WHY HIM!

"Jones. Don't make me call Kirkland to get this out of you." The playful smile was currently a stern line, and his eyebrows pulled down to cover his hazel eyes.

The Principal meant business. The worse possible students to come together, the teachers were worried the world was going to end because they were within walking distance of each other. The detentions had to be at separate times so they wouldn't begin to fight! The teachers were bat shit because they decide to have a peace treaty! He didn't need to hear about that so early in the morning!

Her attention, along with her face whipped around to face him. Abby slid further into the chair. She didn't need a reminder of Arthur so early...All I wanted to do was surprise him on his birthday...And I walk in...on…on... Her chest began to tighten all over again. I'm not going to cry. Heroes don't cry in front of Commies they hate...

Unluckily, Ivan witnessed her special moment. How she shook under the simple mention of the previous school president, it made him smile. I'll question it later.

"We fought. Ivan now has control over my group." Her voice wavered in at 'We', but went back to her considered normal voice for school. They couldn't use gangs, against school policy my butt!

The Mr. Vargas became even sterner. "Is this going to affect your school work? Other students?"

"No." The voice coming out lack emotion, but was leaning to the colder side. 'Alfred' lifted herself out the seat, she wore an expressionless mask. "Ivan. You wanted to meet the rest of us?"

He watched her numb movements, "Da." Ivan curtly nodded to the worried principal, and followed the American out of the office. The secretary shared the same look, for it was mainly for Jones. The Russian had the tint in his eyes; the ruthless spark that could start wars...Rumors had to start somewhere...

The hallways thinned, little gasps of horror watching the duo exit the front office. The students stuck closer to the walls, for they could be even more dangerous combined. It was a sight to see. 'Alfred' hunched, without any smile in those baby blues because of the man close behind. Ivan couldn't drop the smile; she's fighting a losing battle. Might take longer for her...

At the end of the corridor stood both of the gangs. Francis was making an attempt to flirt with Natalia which caused Alice to take it out on the Spaniard. He was currently hiding under the rage of the Briton. Since Lovina couldn't use him as a verbal punching bag, she took Toris instead. Maddie was speaking to Eduard** and Gilbert was trying to interrupt, but the unmistakable laugh prevailed anyway.

Abby smiled widely. Both of the gangs were making a smooth transition for the long run. Less fights for them, maybe more for me and big boy here though. Ivan kept the same expression, but none the less somewhat happy.

"What is your schedule?" Ivan asked, they could (read: would) meet between classes.

"Why do you wanna know?" Abby narrowed her eyes at him, the group turning their attention to the two before them. It could prove to be an interesting fight, in the middle of school. Teachers nearby, the injuries, the whole fact that the former gangs would have an excuse to fight back...

"To make sure you behave. Don't want you to slip up, da?" He didn't move, but the tone could be read as threating. The trio on Ivan's side shook at the reminder of that it could return to haunt them. And make things worse. The little hope was that 'Alfred' could change something in Ivan, to make sure he could be...less crazy...

She stuck her tongue at him. "But I don't wanna see you!"

"Nyet. What to try that again?" He leaned down, the focusing at her features. He pulled his eyebrows together, his eyes calm, and for somewhat easy to read. Once again, without fail it sent her heart into over drive.

"Yea, Commie, you already know where I live. I don't need you anymore in my life." She shot back, turning on her heel to her first without the first bell ringing. I need to get out of here-

The threating aurora pulled out of his backside, and he tugged enough at her bomber jacket to send her back. "Глупая девочка [Stupid Girl], where is your first? Do I need to tell a teacher of your женственность [Womanhood]?" Asking a little too sweetly into her ear.

She didn't understand shit what he had said, but mumbled "AP Art..."

"отличный, [Excellent]. Second?"

"English Literature " It was sending spikes down her spine, each and every single word. The members watched the performance. Francis was practically in tears, rambling in French about 'young love'. Maddie slapped him to get him out of it,

"What lunch?"

"A..." She mumbled even lower, the school couldn't avoid them having the same lunch out of the two available. His choice was in the library, for his gang stayed in B lunch. The school did pull to have Abby's side of the gang in B lunch as well. The two had no back up when it came to fights.

"Forth?" We are close, but never see each other. The administration hasn't failed us completely.

"Mechanics."

"Does this mean you eat in the garage?" He whispered hoarsely, those little shivers were hard to miss from that position. They shared the last two classes of the day, so asking about those would make Abby doubt his IQ.

"Yes, Sputnik. Did common sense kick in?" Sarcasm covered what she felt, everything but jealously & sadness. No, don't think like that, it can only cause pain.

"I wouldn't be talking Fredka; I'm not in the normal classes." He shoved her forward, which made Abby flail.

"ASSHOLE!" 'Alfred' slumped, and took her time leaving her crew. Ivan expected more people behind him, but only his sister stood. Of course. Natalia. When will you understand I don't want to marry you?


Story Information:

Toris Lorinaitis- Lithuania

Eduard Von Bock- Estonia

I'm assuming you know of American cartoons, Disney cartoons etc., as a head cannon I'm pretty sure America can draw professionally because of that. So...she takes art. Mechanics? We have major car companies in this country (Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler).

This story actually got its plot bunny from the movie 'Grease'. Guys actually dressed like men. Asdfghjkl;; Back when Ivan discovered her secret, the song I was thinking she would be singing is the Grease opening: http:/ www [dot] Youtube [dot] com /watch?v =phwOOmFYudU This pairing happens to appear to be darker than that movie…so it's a combination of the Outsiders and Grease. I cannot see Ivan sing like John Tovolta in that accent. Nor can I see him having a group that isn't scared of him. Or trying to date a cheer leader…


TheRussianRose: :3 He's coming, what holiday makes fun of single people? C:

Usagi32: Hopefully that explained it; the school keeps a tight eye on them after all. O.o

F yes: Forever alone holiday is coming C:

Skye96: xD True, -using the movie as a reference to how the characters look- America could pull off a Pony Boy, they have similar hopes in life. But I think she would look more like Soda Pop :O Thank you, it means a lot

Bookworm24601: Lawl, I promise you nothing bad is happening for a couple chapters. Not until :D

Sailor Taichichi Vegeta: Wasn't trouble~ But he's a cocky one, no? Maddie has more power in her punches then you might think~
