Chapter fourteen: Smile
"Well, bye Xiang!~" Yao held up the peace sign, a gentle smile gracing his features. Xiang gave a slight wave back, just a few weeks earlier Xiang never would have dreamed that he would look forward to the next day so very much, and no Rebecca Black, he most certainly was not looking forward to the weekend. It hadn't taken too long for Xiang to adjust to his new lifestyle, certainly the people at Hetalia High were quite strange, but such would be expected from such a multicultural school. He had been finding staying at home more and more lonely, but he didn't mind, when he was still moving around the world with his parents he had never dreamed of ever having this many friends, let alone such dear friendship. Xiang and Yao split ways at the cross roads, Yao lived further away and had to catch a bus down at the station in order to get home while Xiang's rental was just a few blocks down from where they parted. He checked his wrist watch, 4.10pm, it read, and stifled a groan. So much free time and nothing to do, homework would take until 5.30 or 6 o'clock if he was careful to stretch it on. He needed a job so he could get money to buy games and movies- anything to stave off the boredom. There once was a time when he would crave alone time, but now he just wanted to have something fun to do. He was a kid after all.
The thing he was liking the most about his school life was its unpredictability, with such a small population (only a bit above two hundred) everyone got along much better than at most schools. At times it was like they had no choice but (somewhat) get along, there was a bit of an 'us and them' thing going on between the school and people in general. The teachers… well let's put it this way, sometimes it was like the students taught themselves. Yes, life was good, Xiang grinned to himself, if only he had something to spice up his afternoons as well.
Never, ever in his life did he think je might have reason to smile every day.
*Stretches leisurely* Well, it is currently 3.20pm of the same day I uploaded the last one. I had about five odd hours sleep and I feel great. This is only 408 words long, so sorry about the short chapter…
