The school day ended and it was starting to near June. The leaves in the park were a soft green. The park was filled with flowers. Kayla's favourite flowers were dandelions.
Canada always asked her why but she never told him. Claire seemed to be the only one that knew. Whenever Canada asked Claire she'd just say Kayla was a dandelion. He was always so confused on what she meant.
The Englia couple walked together hand in hand. England pulled out a camera and took pictures of the flowers and Julia. He smiled when he took pictures. The Englia couple ended up parting from the other couples to go home.
Canada turned to Kayla and asked her again looking desperate. "Why do you like dandelions?" She turned away from him and picked a dandelion off the ground. "I like dandelions because they are flowers that sprout by themselves without any help. They grow and everyone hates them but in reality they are flowers too. Once they mature they grow into flowers that have seeds. Kids pick them and make wishes with them. Once the flower dies it is always alive within its seeds which scatter the earth on their own. They are a beautiful creation but no one appreciates them. I'm a dandelion and America treats you like one." Kayla looked down but Canada tilted her chin up. "That makes a lot of sense. Actually that is really smart." He said with a smile and kissed her gently.
Claire came over to them and said "so now you understand my riddle. Kayla is one." She said smiling. Canada gave a slight nod. "We should go Claire we have piano soon." Kayla told Claire. Claire looked over to Prussia and they started walking home. "I'll text you when I'm ready!" Claire yelled while she walked.
Canada and Kayla started walking. Canada stopped and picked a dandelion. He placed it in Kayla's hair. "Beautiful" he said. Then they continued walking.
Claire and Prussia walked into the door of Claire's house. Claire's little brother greeted them. "Cware!" He yelled giving her a hug. "Italy!" She yelled back picking him up and spinning him around. Claire's little brother was two. He was named after Italy. After he was born his mom died and she never got to hold him. Their father ran away so Claire named him and took care of him.
Luckily, her father sent them money each month. He was also the most adorable thing ever. He loved people and baby chicks. He had a curl in his hair that was off to the side. He had a slight lisp but was always really loud.
"Bert!" He yelled reaching out for Prussia. Italy could never say Prussia so he was taught to call him Gilbert but he shortened it to Bert. Prussia took Italy into his arms and lifted him in the air. Prussia started making airplane noises as Italy stretched out his arms like airplane wings. Prussia lowered him and Italy kissed his cheek.
"Will you sleep in my room tonight?" Italy asked with his eyes wide open. Prussia looked over to Claire and she nodded with approval. "Of course I will little man. But I need to give your sister a good night kiss ok?" Prussia said. Italy nodded with a big smile. Prussia put Italy down.
Italy started running around the house with Daffodil, their puppy. Claire laughed at his cuteness and led Prussia upstairs. "Have fun sleeping with Vinny." She said smirking. Prussia looked at her a bit puzzled. "Vinny?" He said. "Italy's other name is Venezanio. I always called him Vinny or Italy." She explained. Prussia mouthed 'oh'. "Oh shoot I got to run babe. I have piano." She said and gave Prussia a kiss.
She was quickly out the door. Claire walked into Kayla's house without knocking. Kayla had fallen asleep on Canada's chest while watching tv. Claire waved to Canada and Canada did the same. Claire walked over to Kayla and gently shook her shoulder. Kayla moaned. "Kayla we have to go soon." Claire said. Kayla opened her eyes. She sat up and rubbed them like a little kid. She got up and packed her bag. "Ok I'm ready." She said then sat down with her puppy Koda.
Claire grabbed Kayla's hand and pulled her up. She dragged Kayla to the door and they left. Canada had decided to watch a movie. He picked Canada's History. It was one of his favourites.
The girls got home late. They all left for their separate houses.
Kayla walked into her house to see Canada sprawled across the bed like a starfish. She laughed to herself before climbing in beside him.
Claire walked in to an empty room. She had a mental freak out because her boyfriend was missing. It took her a second to remember he was with Vinny. She climbed into bed reluctantly. It felt so empty to her. After staring at the ceiling for an hour, she fell asleep.
The next morning Claire woke up to the sound of Prussia and Vinny. "Vinny. Be quiet!" She whined. Prussia placed Vinny on top of Claire. Italy gave Claire a sloppy kiss on her lips.
Prussia didn't want to admit it but he was jealous of the two year old. Claire gave Vinny a kiss on his cheek in return. Prussia leant down next to Claire and turned his cheek to her. Claire didn't notice and continued to play with Vinny. Prussia pouted.
He sat down next to Claire and looked down. "Bert looks sad!" Italy placed his tiny hands on Prussia's cheeks, cupping his face. He gave him a soft kiss on his cheek. Prussia smiled and looked at Claire. Claire gave him a kiss on his cheek too. Then Claire pulled herself out of bed and into her uniform. She grabbed a bowl of cereal and waited for Prussia. Prussia came down and they walked to school.
They met up with the others. It was a quick meeting until the bell rang. They met up for lunch as always then had an assembly. The school day passed by fast and luckily it was Friday. The girls walked home and changed into their soccer uniforms.
This was the first time the guys would watch them and it made the girls extremely nervous. They went to the game and began to warm up. The whistle blew and the game was on. Believe it or not, U18 was a tough league. The first half ended and they were losing 3-2. The girls walked over to the boys sadly.
"Having fun?" England asked. Kayla walked over to Canada and remained silent. Canada engulfed her in a hug. "Win this game for your awesome boyfriend." Prussia said. Claire sighed. "You'll do great. " Canada soothed and gave her a kiss.
The girls walked onto the field feeling a lot better. The girls came out of the game 4-3, they won. They smiled as they parted to their own homes.
England walked Julia home. He began to leave when Julia grabbed his hand. "Stay. Please." Julia pleaded. England smiled as Julia led him in. She led him up to her room. They hung out, watched tv, and played some games. Julia fell asleep while watching a movie. England drifted to sleep soon after.
Julia woke up in England arms. She smiled looking at his features. His flawless skin, perfect smile, she even loves his eyebrows. It didn't matter if they looked like giant furry caterpillars. She glanced at the clock. It was Saturday. The day she gets her prom dress. She rushed to get ready. England was getting a day with the guys.
As they stood outside Kayla's house England gave Julia a kiss. "Thanks for letting me stay over, Jube." Kayla opened the door with a smile. Of course they were happy.
The girls walked into many stores but couldn't find the perfect one. Finally they found the perfect dresses. Julia's dress was a deep purple. It dropped down to the ground and flowed around her waist. Kayla's dress was strapless. It was a blush pink and also dropped to the floor. It had some simple beading at the top. Claire's dress was black, white, but mostly green. It was a little puffy compared to the other dresses.
The girls hid their dresses before meeting the guys in the living room.
