Yeah so I split up the updates, sorry. Was only focused enough to write Matthew's and Gilbert's. Moving on with Arthur's~:

Arthur stretched out on the bed that was in the nurse station. This was nice. They got to miss the rest of class and better yet: they were both told to sleep it off. He hadn't thought Lovino was sick, and judging by the sigh that was from the bed next to him, he probably wasn't. Oh well. At least Lovino was spared from that class, right?
"Pssst."
Arthur rolled over to look at Lovino questioningly, "What?"
"When do you think supper is?" Lovino asked. Arthur tilted his head, pondering. It had been quite some time since lunch, and now that he was aware of it, his stomach was growling slightly.
"Hopefully soon." Arthur hugged his pillow and laid his head down on it once more. "Did you sleep at all?"
"Yeah. Don't know for how long though." Arthur smiled at Lovino's response but quickly rolled over once more when he heard the nurse's footsteps returning.

Alfred bounced up and down on Antonio's bed. No way was this voice going to bother him now! He had Antonio to talk to! He looked at his injured hand and frowned a bit. "This is so going to hurt."
"Well yeah. Broken hands usually do." Antonio commented from the floor. He was sleeping on an air mattress. Alfred tried to offer him the bed, but Antonio had said something about guests sleeping on the bed. Whatever. If that's how things go over here, Alfred wasn't about to complain.
"At least I dented the wall!" Alfred grinned.
"Yeah. I'm sure your parents will love that." Antonio hugged a travel pillow to his chest, "Good luck explaining it."
"The voice in my head was ticking me off." Alfred said flatly. And it was.
"I'm sure your parents will love hearing that, too." Antonio raised both eyebrows. "Did you talk to your parents at all about Matthew?"
Alfred just stared at Antonio for a minute before laying down and rolling over so his back was facing Antonio, "I'm sleepy! Night!"
"…Goodnight." Alfred listened quietly while Antonio moved around the room to turn off the light. He couldn't resist the laugh as he heard Antonio promptly trip over the air mattress, "Ow."
Alfred grinned and glanced over his shoulder, even though he could only see Antonio's outline: "Dude. I am not taking you to the hospital after the grumbling you gave me."
"Shut up. I don't need the hospital." Antonio grumbled.
Alfred only laughed.

"What do you two think, are you well enough to go eat supper?" The nurse looked back and forth between Arthur and Lovino.
"I'm fine." Lovino spoke up hastily.
"I'm fine." Arthur smiled at the nurse. The nap worked quite well on his upset stomach, and now he was quite hungry for supper. Hopefully it wouldn't repeat itself.
"Alright then, go ahead. The cafeteria is five doors back in the direction you came, on the right." The nurse pointed down the hallway.
"Yes ma'am." Arthur walked out the door and began walking down the hallway. At least they were able to stay with each other most of the day. Though he half-wondered about the morning classes they would have tomorrow. They hadn't had any today, mainly because it was their first day and they had to be shown to their rooms and settled down in there. By that time, it had been the class before lunch already.
Lovino glanced at the closed doors as they walked by, "I wonder how many different classes they have here?"
"Don't know. They do have an awful lot of classrooms, don't they?" Arthur commented in response. Perhaps we'll be in one of these rooms tomorrow?
Lovino let out a sigh of relief, "Supper!" True, the scent of the food was beginning to come down the hall to where they were at. Finally.
"Let's hope it's more edible than lunch." Arthur commented. Please.
"Ugh. It better be." Lovino shuddered, "When I get out of here, first thing I'm going to do, is go eat out at a decent restaurant."
"Hear hear." Arthur agreed. That would be nice. Maybe the four of them could eat out somewhere before they went back to school.
Arthur waited patiently in the cafeteria line for the trays to be handed out. It looked like a burger of some kind. Well. A meal for Alfred, or perhaps not. He smiled at the woman and thanked her anyway.
He looked up and saw Gilbert waving to him from the back corner and smiled. Making his way back to where they were sitting, Arthur sat across from Gilbert.
"Well." Arthur shook his head before looking at the tray, "Burger and soup? If you can call it that." He lifted the top bun and raised an eyebrow. There was no way this would even be considered a burger by Alfred's standards.
"Alfred wouldn't approve of it at all." Matthew laughed. Apparently he agreed.
"No he wouldn't. He'd be standing up there raising a fit." Arthur sighed before dropping the bun back on top, "Lovino's coming." The thought of Alfred arguing with the woman handing out trays was almost enough to send him into a fit of laughter, but he suppressed it and began sipping on his soup instead.
"Oh, were you two in the same class?" Matthew blinked in surprise.
"Yes." Arthur looked at him in confusion, "Weren't you two?" He thought they would have been. But then again, these two were really different in personality-types.
"Nope. I was in a class of four, including the idiot teacher." Gilbert took a bite of his burger.
Matthew looked at Gilbert for a moment, "Eh. I was in a normal-sized class."
"What, was my class the only small one? Geeeez." Gilbert shrugged it off. Were they talking about something before I got here?
Arthur looked up for a moment as Lovino sat down on the right-side of him. He went back to his soup however as Matthew began talking to him.
"Hello." Matthew smiled at Lovino.
"Hi." Lovino grumbled. He glared at the burger, "Can't they serve pasta? Or something." Arthur watched as Lovino proceeded to drown his burger in ketchup. Well then. Italians love anything with tomato, it would seem.
"You want my ketchup?" Arthur offered him the packets that had been sitting ignored on his tray.
"Thank you." Lovino sighed and gratefully took the ketchup.
"I swear you're trying it on purpose." Gilbert commented. Arthur looked up in confusion. What was he talking about?
Matthew glared at him, "I am not. Shut up."
"Trying what?" Arthur questioned, curious.
"Nothing." Apparently Matthew had kicked Gilbert underneath the table because the albino looked like he was in pain all of a sudden.
"Ow!" Gilbert winced, "That hurt!"
Arthur raised both eyebrows but went back to eating. "Well. This must be more edible than lunch if you're done already." Arthur commented before taking a bite of his plain burger. Actually, it wasn't all that bad. If he skipped tasting it.
Best to eat the whole meal fast. Arthur quickly ate the burger in five bites. Roderich would definitely be shaking his head at this. This was the second meal now he had done that. Oh well. Arthur began sipping his soup again to get the taste that was left out of his mouth. Mostly bread taste fortunately. The burger probably tasted awful. Or freezer-burnt.
"Ow!" Matthew winced, rubbing the back of his head, "What was that for?" Arthur looked up again in confusion. Maybe he should stop spacing out so much.
"You know what it was for." Gilbert said flatly, finishing his drink. "Going back to our wonderful bedroom, see you two back there." Gilbert waved at Arthur and Lovino before forcibly dragging Matthew out of the lunchroom.
"Well." Lovino commented, "Coming from someone else other than Gilbert, that comment could have been taken completely the wrong way." And that he had to agree with. But Gilbert didn't come off as the romantic-type, so coming from Gilbert, it was as innocent a comment as Gilbert could make. Which didn't say very much.
"No kidding." Arthur continued drinking his soup, "You'd think they would have given us crackers, or something." Crackers would definitely help. It was more of a tomato-ey drink of some sort.
"Oh…they didn't, did they?" Lovino looked around his tray. "What kind of soup is it?"
"Tomato." Arthur commented, still drinking it. He looked over and saw Lovino was gulping down the soup really fast. It's a good thing it wasn't super hot.
Lovino half-glared at Arthur, "What?"
"Nothing." Arthur shook his head and continued sipping the soup. Well if he wanted to drink the soup that fast, he could go right ahead. But it certainly tasted better than the burger, so he was going to enjoy it.
"So do you sit with Alfred at all during lunch?" Lovino asked.
"Sometimes." Arthur commented, "Why?" Only when Alfred has a test to study for, or he doesn't feel like sitting with the other athletes, which isn't very often.
"You eat fast." Lovino said flatly. Arthur almost spat out the soup in shock.
Arthur glared at him, "Only to skip the tasting part of the meal." He most certainly had not learned that from Alfred.
Lovino nodded, but didn't look like he agreed with what Arthur said at all, and took a swallow of the drink they had been given, which he promptly hurled into the trashcan, "Bleah! I'll be thirsty all night before I drink that!" Arthur watched as Lovino leaned over the side of the table and started coughing, "Oh that was awful."
"Would you like some water?" The lady that had handed them the trays offered a bottle of water to Lovino.
"Yes, I would. Thank you." Lovino quickly took the bottle and gulped down the drink, "Much better!"
Arthur frowned at the fruit juice, "How bad is it?" Now he most certainly did not want to try this.
"Very. Slip it with your trash, you can have the rest of the water." Lovino pointed to the trashcan.
Arthur stood up and dropped the fruit juice in first, making sure his tray covered up the full bottle in the trash can before smiling at Lovino, "Back to the room?" Arthur finished off the water and tossed it into the trashcan as well.
"Yeah." Lovino motioned for Arthur to lead the way and followed him out, "Finally, we can sleep!"
"I wonder how early we have to get up tomorrow." Arthur commented, walking out of the cafeteria.
"Oh, I don't even want to think about it. It's only been one day! I want to go home!" Lovino pouted.
Arthur laughed, "As do I." Oh doesn't home sound nice. Comfortable beds…familiar teachers who don't go on and on about the same thing that no one wants to listen to…okay that last part was the same, it was just a different subject.
Arthur pushed open the door to their room and stared blankly at the other two in there. Gilbert and Matthew were already fast asleep.
"Well." Arthur commented, "I shall have to be quiet." He quietly walked across the room and frowned at the bunk-bed. Now how was he going to climb on top? The ladder he knew already creaked with each step. Best to use the foot of the bed as a ladder then.
"Yeah good luck with that. These beds make a lot of noise." Lovino grumbled, climbing onto his mattress.
Arthur hoisted himself up using the supports at the end of Matthew's bed and pulled himself across the mattress. He smiled at Lovino from the top, "Goodnight."
"Night." Lovino answered.
Arthur rolled over and looked at the wall. It had been a long day. And thankfully it was over. Unfortunately…another one waited them tomorrow. Oh how he wished he could go home.
