Look! I updated really early this time! I was so excited to know people enjoyed my story that I typed chapter three up right away~ Thank you for bringing back my confidence about this story. I have a real soft spot for Snapped CanadaxBelarus or just normal CanadaxBelarus. (Honestly, I have a soft spot for most Belarus pairings... This one just so happens to be one of my favorites, next to AmericaxBelarus and LithuaniaxBelarus.) In this chapter, you find out who the small blonde girl is... if it wasn't obvious before. I'll let you know at the end of this chapter who she is if you're not sure by her human name.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Hetalia or any of its characters. If I did... there would without a doubt be a Snapped Canada.

Natalia was taken aback by his sudden question. How could he possibly know that? She bit the corner of her lip and quickly broke eye contact. Her reaction answered his question for him. Matthew's smile widened and he stepped towards her. He could see a small hue of pink forming across her face. His smile turned into what looked to be a sly smirk. "I'm right, aren't I? I didn't believe it when I saw you in the Music room, but judging by your reaction it was you."

The pink painted on her face deepened. She cursed at herself for breaking her stoic disposition. Natalia huffed a heavy sigh as she crossed her arms under her chest. "So what if you are? It's not like anyone would believe you or listen to you for that matter." she responded harshly.

Matthew let out a small hurt laugh, trying to brush the insult off. He blushed slightly and started to awkwardly fidget. She wasn't saying anything and she was obviously annoyed. That was her biggest secret and now someone knew about it. What if there were more people who did? The thought made her grit her teeth. Matthew watched her embarrassed expression change into an evil scowl. He jumped and quickly took a step back. Even if he was violent before she came in, it's not like he could defend himself against someone like her. For one, she's a girl and it would be wrong to hit a girl. "I-I'm sorry if I said something wrong!" he said sheepishly.

Natalia returned her attention to Matthew. He was back to himself from what she could see. It looks like she did something right for once. Why did I do this in the first place? The question irked her because she had no answer for it. She groaned and turned her back to him. "It's fine, you didn't do anything wrong so there's no reason to freak out. Just don't do this again, okay?"

Matthew's whole body got chills at that very moment. No, it was not because of her cold attitude. Something about Natalia gave him goose bumps, the good kind of goose bumps. Those goose bumps you get when you're excited. His whole face flushed red and he began to rub his arm to make the goose bumps go away. "Y-yeah… I won't." he responded in a hushed tone.

She started making her way out of the room. Natalia grabbed the door knob then turned to look at the flustered Matthew. Her eyes were so sharp and yet so breath taking. It was almost like she was staring right through him. He gulped and his whole body started to shake. The corner of Natalia's lip rose into a small smile. It was a very rare sight to see. "You should try to be bolder. Maybe then people will start to listen to you. Take what you did today and bring it down a few notches." she advised.

With those last words, Natalia left Matthew alone. Outside the class were the same students, waiting to see what had happened. They all gave her curious stares. She returned their stares with her usual cold glare. They immediately got the idea and scattered about in different directions, not wanting to be on her bad side. One of them stayed behind though. It was the girl who grabbed onto her sleeve.

The small blonde girl approached Natalia, looking very worried. "Wh-what happened? Is Matthew alright?" she asked in anticipation

Natalia nodded and gave the girl a pat on the shoulder. "Yes, everything is fine, don't worry. Matthew will clean up the mess. Be sure this doesn't reach the ears of the teacher whose class that is." she instructed.

"Alright, I can do that. Um, may I ask who you might be? I've never seen you around here before." The girl asked out of pure curiosity.

"I'm Natalia Arlovskaya."

The girl looked a bit shocked then giggled nervously. Judging by her awkward laughter, she's heard the rumors about Natalia. "You're that girl everyone talks about? You don't seem that scary to me. You're much too pretty to be scarey. I'm Lilli Zwingli, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Natalia quirked an eyebrow, confused at the girl's strange kindness. Lilli stretched her hand out to Natalia, smiling kindly. Reluctantly, she took Lilli's hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you as well."

Lilli giggled once again and pointed at Natalia. She stared at the Lilli's finger, wondering what she was pointing at. Her eyes follow the tip of her finger and it leads to the bow on Natalia's head. "You wear a bow just like I do, see?" Lilli pointed out as she turned to show Natalia the purple bow in her hair.

This girl is so odd… Natalia thought as she furrowed her brows. She doesn't seem all that bad though. She's not afraid of me at least…

Natalia adjusted her white bow placed at the top of her head and nodded at Lilli's statement. She simply smiled back at Natalia, glowing with happiness.

Are people really this innocent?

"Hey Natalia, do you want to walk to our classes together? I'm headed to the History division. Where are you going?" Lilli asked.

"I'm going to the Science division…"

"Oh really? Those are right by each other. Come on let's go!"

Lilli started to walk in the direction of their classes, figuring Natalia would follow her. Natalia glanced back at the class room where Matthew was still at. She wondered if he was cleaning up the mess he made or maybe just blowing off some more steam. Lilli turned around, tilting her head to the side "Natalia, are you coming?"

"Yes." she responded before following after Lilli.

Matthew sat atop a desk and gazed around at the once destroyed classroom, which he just finished cleaning. It was hard for him to believe he did all of that himself. What got so under his skin? Sure Matthew gets mad sometimes, but he never loses his mind like that. "Everything must have been building up inside me and I guess I couldn't take it anymore." he told himself.

Stepping down from the desk, Matthew started towards the door. He placed his hand on the knob, pausing briefly. Natalia's words echoed through his head once more. She was right. He did need to toughen up or else he would be living a life as a shadow forever.

"Natalia…" he muttered under his breath.

The chills returned to his body as he thought about her cold blue eyes. The blush from before found its way back to his face. For some reason, Matthew couldn't help but be flustered when he thought about her.

I wonder if she'll be there again today…

Alrighty then, there's chapter three for ya! Chapter four should be coming soon... It may be over the weekend if I have time. Now that school started back up I don't have a lot of time on my hands. Also, because of my Hetalia cosplay group I have even LESS time... By the way, if you're curious, I am a Belarus cosplayer.

And if you are interested in seeing my friend and I's cosplay group just let me know. We're called CracktaliaCosplay. We have a deviantart and a youtube account.
