Oh god, sorry this took so long to update. I honestly though that no one was interested in this story, so I stopped. I already had a few chapters hand written ahead of time, but I never typed them because yeah... like I said I thought no one cared for this story. Seeing as I have two fans of this story, I will update the second chapter. I don't know if this story is getting any better... Hopefully it will. I had a great plot for it but it fell apart somewhere in the middle. I'll attempt to fix it.

Here is the belated Chapter 2

DISCLAIMER: You know the drill. I do not own Hetalia or any of its characters.


Today was like every other day for Natalia. School was going about its usual way. The same people gave her their judgmental stares that she was ever so used to. Everything was normal. The only thing that was a bit off was that fact that the Nervous Shivering Trio were nowhere to be found. They couldn't all be absent at once, could they? Natalia furrowed her eyebrows in irritation as she made her way down the halls of the academy. It was free period at the moment and Natalia wasn't exactly in a good mood today. She usually takes out her frustrations on those "shivering buffoons" if they're around, but it looks like she would have to cope for now.

"What am I supposed to do for the next hour? I could sleep in the nurse's office, but she's getting suspicious of me now." Natalia muttered to herself.

She began to think of ideas as she continued her way down the hall, not noticing the rise in volume of people's voices. The halls were always a noisy place, but today it was louder than the norm. Natalia grunted, having a hard time hearing herself think. She looked around her to see what all the commotion was about.

Many students were gathered in front of a class room. They all looked horrified and some were even crying. Natalia raised a questioning eyebrow and moved towards the crowd. The others were murmuring about some maniac that was wrecking the classroom.

"Maniac? We have those here?" Natalia questioned.

She pushed through the crowd to get a look inside the classroom. The students behind her were looking at her like she was crazy. A girl with short blonde hair grabbed her sleeve. Natalia turned to look at the girl who had so suddenly grabbed onto her.

"Y-You shouldn't go in there. It's dangerous…" she said in a very meek voice.

Natalia stared at the girl intently then glanced down at her arm. She could feel the girl's arm shaking. The girl gazed fearfully towards the room in front of them then slowly back to Natalia.

"I wasn't planning on going in there. I just wanted to see who it was." Natalia finally commented.

The girl jumped at the sound of Natalia's icy voice. It was obvious that she must not know Natalia or have heard the rumors about her. If she did know her, then she wouldn't have grabbed onto her in the first place.

"O-Oh sorry! U-um the person's name is Matthew. He's usually quiet and timid, but he suddenly snapped. No one knows why." The girl replied, quickly letting go of Natalia's sleeve.

Natalia looked over to the room with a thoughtful expression. The girl watched her as Natalia's face turned into something that looked like astonishment.

Matthew shares a few classes with Natalia. No one ever knows he's there and no one ever hears him. His hand is always raised, but the teachers never call on him. Natalia knows he's there, she knows everyone in her classes. It's not that she keeps tabs, she's just observant. Did she feel bad for Matthew? Not really, she doesn't really care for anyone. There have been times where she thought about saying something to him, but she always shrugged it off. It's hard to believe someone like him would ever snap.

"Um Miss? Do you know him?" the girl asked curiously.

Natalia looked back her for a moment then back to the room. She could now hear screams and crashes coming from inside. Why couldn't she hear them before? Did he stop for a moment and start again? Her brow furrowed, giving her a look of determination.

"A little." Natalia responded before making her way to the room.

The girl tried to grab for her again, but failed. "Pl-Please be careful!" she shouted after Natalia.

Natalia made her way to the front of the crowd and gazed inside the classroom. Inside there was Matthew throwing things around, screaming about someone. From what she could hear, it was about his brother. Matthew's brother is the opposite of him. He's loud and obnoxious and everyone knows who he is. They look the same, but behave a lot differently. Matthew often gets mistaken for his brother. Natalia could tell how much it hurt him whenever the teacher called him by his brother's name.

"Alfred, you're always causing trouble for everyone, aren't you?" Natalia groaned under her breath.

With her fists clenched tight, Natalia made her way into the class. Everyone behind her thought she was asking for a death wish. She could hear their confused whispers behind her. Glancing back briefly with a cold stare, Natalia shut everyone up. She closed the door, so no one could watch what she was about to do. Natalia didn't want any more eyes seeing Matthew in such a broken state. Again, she didn't really care about the guy, but for some reason she felt like she had to do something.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward towards Matthew. His back was to Natalia. Her lips parted and voiced his name.

"Matthew."

He turned sharply, hearing his name. His eyes narrowed in irritation as he eyed Natalia carefully. "What do you want!" he shouted.

Natalia showed no expression on her face. She stared back at him, keeping her stoic appearance. "I want you to stop this." I have to choose my words carefully or he could lose even more of his mind… if that's even possible.

Matthew straightened his back and stood firm. He didn't respond right away. All he did was analyze her. Why would Natalia of all people try to stop me? That is Natalia right?

Natalia felt a bit relieved, noticing that he calmed down a bit. He wasn't saying anything though. His stare was something between that of complete rage and confusion. If he won't break the silence then she will.

"It seems like you're having quite the meltdown. I would have never guessed that Matthew Williams would snap. How strange that you of all people would scare people to the point that they're in tears. I'm not sure if I should be impressed or frightened. Anyways, I'm going to be blunt here. You shouldn't be doing this. I understand that you have bottled up anger, but this is not how you deal with your personal issues. There's better ways to cope with anger." she said without missing a beat.

Matthew didn't take his eyes off of her for a second. He was in such disbelief. Someone actually knew his full name. All this time he thought no one knew him. Who would have thought Natalia, the Ice Queen of World Academy, knew his name? She cares only for her brother, Ivan. Yet, she still keeps track of every person she knows. His eyes brightened and a small smile formed across his lips. Natalia tilted her head, curious to why he started to smile.

"So it was you who I heard. You cope by singing don't you Natalia?"


I'm going to drop it here because

1: I thought it was getting too long

2: I feel like you should wait to see Bela's reaction

And 3: It's late and I'm tired...

Hope you liked chapter 2. It had a SNAPPED Canada in it 3
