*insert something here* No clue what to say. Just moving right along.

Lovino groaned inwardly. This class was showing no signs of ending. And to make things worse, this awful-excuse-for-an-adult wasn't letting it go by any faster either.

"Talk to me Loviiiiiii." His grandfather held out both arms, "Do you want a hug~?"

Lovino stared at his grandfather with a mixed expression of disbelief and horror, "NO. Do not. Touch me."

Roma pouted again. "Lovi needs a hug!" he sprang forward and yanked Lovino forward into an embrace.

"LET GO OF ME!" Lovino yelled, pushing with both hands to try and get away.

Lili looked over at the two, "Um…we're done on the phone…" Basch sat next to her, just staring at the two Italians.

"Oh~ excellent! How do you feel now? Any better?" Roma smiled cheerfully, ignoring Lovino's attempts to get away.

"I don't…really feel any different…" Lili sighed. Basch patted her on the back, "Just a desire to hit them."

"Ah, no, no hitting." Roma sighed.

"Let go of me, you failed excuse for a counselor!" Lovino struggled.

"I am not a failed excuse for a counselor, how mean!" Roma pouted and tightened the hug. He returned his attention to Lili and Basch, "Well now, what do you two think you should do from here?"

"Um…" Lili rubbed the back of her head.

"I'm guessing leaving is not an option." Basch commented.

"If it was, I would be so out of here." Lovino grumbled.

"Leaving is not an option, sorry." Roma smiled.

Antonio stretched his arms out in front of him. Waiting in the office certainly took a while. And of course it seemed even longer when you were waiting for the principal. He watched as the secretary checked her watch for the goodness-knows-what-time. Antonio exchanged glances with Alfred, who grinned cheerfully. At least he looked better now than he had this morning.

The secretary stood up abruptly and started knocking on the door to the principal's office, "Mr. Smith, you have two students out here." The secretary peered into the room, "They've been out here for at least twenty minutes now."

Antonio looked at the door as he heard the principal's muffled voice speaking to…oh. It really was Roderich in there this entire time.

Smith came out of the office, forcibly pushing Roderich, "I am not discussing this. Mr. Jones, Mr. Carreido, what are you two doing here?"

Antonio smiled cheerfully at Roderich, who looked rather surprised they were there at all.

"Well obviously our teachers sent us down here." Alfred spoke up laughing, "Why would we come down here voluntarily?" Why indeed.

Roderich sat in a chair next to Alfred, instead of leaving, "Discussion is not ended."

"You are going to be sitting there a long time." Mr. Smith shook his head, before motioning into his office, "Mr. Jones."

"You know I have a first name right? Just saying." Alfred ducked past the principal.

Antonio leaned back once more. More waiting. He smiled a bit and looked over at Roderich.

Roderich looked back at him, "So what are you down here for?"

"I started throwing beach balls around in class." Antonio commented, still smiling. He started swinging his legs back and forth in front of him.

"…Why would you do that?" Roderich stared at him in disbelief. Wasn't it obvious why?

"For fun!" Antonio laughed, "And hey, it worked!"

"Well then. I will head back to class now." Roderich stood up, brushing himself off.

"What about the discussion you said wasn't over?" Antonio blinked up at him, startled. Did he forget that quickly?

"I'll let it go. It was probably just a poor choice of words on his part." Roderich shrugged, "And besides, third bell will be starting in another half hour. I should get ready." He turned on his heel and walked out of the office.

Antonio watched Roderich walk out, tilting his head in confusion. "I wonder what the principal commented on that he had a poor choice of words?" He shook his head and looked back at the closed door. Lovino would probably be having a fit right now if he knew Antonio was in the office. Antonio smiled.

Lovino scowled at the wall that he was facing while (still) being held in a tight hug by his grandfather. This clearly was not his morning, or his day.

"Do you think talking to your parents multiple times a day could help improve the relationship there?" Roma asked, tilting his head towards Lili and Basch.

Never did much for me. Lovino rolled his eyes, but kept quiet.

"Um…it might." Lili spoke up, fiddling with the hem of her dress. Basch thought this over a moment, but nodded in silence as well.

"Good!" Roma smiled, "Then I want you two to try calling your parents a couple times each day while you're here. It can be once in the morning and once at night before you lay down. Or any other time you think works best."

"Okay." Lili smiled.

Lovino crossed his arms and continued scowling.

Basch tilted his head, "So you two are related…?"

"He's one of my grandsons~" Roma rested his chin on the top of Lovino's head, much to his annoyance.

"Hey! Get off! I'm not happy about this already!" Lovino snapped.

"Do you not get along with your family, either?" Lili asked softly.

"No." Lovino grumbled.

"Lovi's depressed." Roma pouted, "But if Lovi won't call his parents then I can~"

"Don't you dare!" Lovino yelled, struggling again, "I refuse to talk to them!"

"Someone else you want to talk to?" Roma asked, hopefully.

Lovino's face reddened, "…No."

Lili giggled, while Basch just made a sound that almost sounded like a short laugh.

"There is someone~" Roma teased.

"NO THERE IS NOT!" Lovino snapped.

"Attention counselors!"

Roma looked up at the speakers, startled, "Hm? What's this about now?"

"There is a medical emergency with one of the students here at the facility. The first session will be extended until further notice."

"Oh that's awful!" Roma muttered, "I hope the emergency isn't serious!"

"I'm stuck here. Great." Lovino slumped, "It's official. This is definitely the worst day. Ever."

"This is time we can use for bonding!" Roma grinned.

"Worst. Day. Ever." Lovino hissed.

Lili took out her phone and dialed again, "I'm gonna call mom…"

Basch nodded and watched her as the conversation began.
