Alfred opened his mouth than closed it. How would he reply? He would seem so weird walking around the rest of the day without shoes on, and he really had JUST got them! Before Alfred could reply Jessica beat him to it.

"Come on Alfred, let's go before she rapes your feet!" She grabbed his arm and dragged him away. He wasn't sure wheither to struggle or just go with her, but in the end decided to just go. After all, Matilda Williams just simply just a Shoe Girl. Nothing more, right? Blinking in reply seemed to be the only thing Matilda could manage before adjusting her glasses.

"At least Jessica came up with something new? Geez, I was so close! I'll just try again later when she's not around," She put her thumb up to her pink lip and frowned, "But what if next time he won't give 'em to me? Crap." Matilda sighed and just decided to head up to her first class of the day.

oOo

As the students filled the English room, Matilda was slightly leaning out of her seat to the side, trying to see her fellow student's shoes.

"Those are nice...those are rather boring...Oh, I've seen those before! I got that pair the other day...That really suits her...Eww, he got his shoes so muddy! Gross!"

She made a disgusted face at the boy with the dirty shoes as he passed before sitting up straight in her seat so she wouldn't get in trouble with the teacher again for bad posture.

oOo

Math really WAS boring in the morning. Alfred could feel himself on the verge of falling asleep just from looking at the worksheet before him!

Decide if the following equations should add or subtract to find a variable:

1.) x+y=3

5x-6y=8

"GOD, how boring! I don't know how to do this..." Maybe he really shouldn't have fallen asleep last class period, or the one before that...Well, there went his D in this class. Maybe he could pester the teacher for some makeup work? Eh, something like that. Science was defiantly his best subject and was WAY more interesting than math. Slidding his blue eyes over to the person beside him, he quickly joulted down the answers so he wouldn't get a complete F in the class.

After finishing his worksheet, Alfred began to think back about the Shoe Girl. "Really different from the other girls in school," Alfred thought with his cheek cupped by his left hand. She wore red rimmed classes, a baggy, grey opened jacket with pushed up sleeves, and a skirt with black footless tights.

A red shirt poke out from behind the opened jacket as cheetah-print convers dawned her feet. The whole weird look was completed with a pigtail on the left side of her head, but not on the right.

Normal girls would wear tight clothing, designer items, and anything that was new.

"But she's so creepy...Would she really rape my feet?" Alfred shivered as the very image appeared in his mind.

Lordy, lordy, lordy.

oOo

"They were really nice shoes, Gilbert! Really, really niice..." Matilda said while stretching her arms across the outdoor lunch table as Gilbert sipped his Sprite.

"Birdie, why don't you just go buy the shoes somewhere? I can't imagen you stalking someone for their shoes." He laughed at the end and sat his soda down. Matilda puffed out her cheeks and let out a small whine.

"Gilbert, if I could I would have already! I've NEVER seen those shoes before at all! I almost had them..." She laid her head down sideways before springing up and slidding over to the albino.

"I just had an idea!" Gilbert gulped abit before stratching his cheek.

"I don't like the sound of this...Is it awesome?" Matilda grabbed his hands in hers and grinned widely.

"You have gym with him, right?"

"Yeahhh...?"

"You can take them while he's in his gym uniform! We have to change shoes in gym, so he'd have to take 'em off, and you could sneak them to me," Her violet-blue eyes sparkled as she continued, "I wouldn't wear them to school of course, but I would have them! You'll do it, right?"

Gilbert sighed before pulling her closer to him.

"Birdie, you're seriously obsessed with shoes, you know that? I think we need to put you on a shoe diet, make ya walk around barefoot with a blindfold on for a month so ya can't see any shoes! I don't think I can do such an unawesome thing like stealing..."

Matilda blushed from being so close to him, than frowned at the answer given to her.

"But Gilbert, it's important to me. You'd do it for a friend, right? Riiight?" Blushing lightly in response at first, Gilbert looked away and let out a sigh of defeat.

"I'm only doing it since I've known you so long, got that Birdie? And I'd never do this for anyone else. Well, except Franny and Tony, but other than that, no one else." Matilda grinned, than put their noses together while hugging him.

"I knew you'd do it! Thank you! I'll totally pay you back, promise!" Jumping up, Matilda grabbed her bag and began to run away.

"I'm gonna go see where he is! Bye Gil!" She waved while looking back before looking forward again and dashing into the school doors. Gilbert's face turned a dark shade of red, mouth twitching in a smile.

"What have I gotten myself into with her? So not awesome..." Gilbert finished his Sprite before heading inside as well to his locker.

oOo!

FUUUUU- IT'S SHORT AGAAAAIN. ASDFGHJKL;;

Next time, it'll be longer I SWEAR. SWEEEAAAR.

Seems like Gilbert and Maddie have a thing? Maybe, maybe not~ You can decide that for yourselves; Think of them as lovers, close friends, boyfriend and girlfriend in the making, whatever you want! I haven't decided yet :T Yeah, it's AmeriCan, but I can put some PruCan up in 'here too ya know! (Not that I really like it...I'm OK with it, just not mah OTP)

GAWD CANADA'S OOC IN HUUURRR /SHOTSHOTSHOTSPAMMEDFLAMMED/ I believe that Canada can be outgoing when he wants. I have failed to see much stories with him doing so though.../SOB/

As for next chapter, obviously Gilbert's gonna attempt to steal those sexy shoes, but is there anything else you guys want to happen? A fight, something retarded, a run-in in the hall that results in a certain lady falling on top of a guy? Your pick! Review if you'd like, tell me if you hated it, have a complaint, etc etc. :3
