Chapter two: Introductions.

We stood there and stared blankly around the room. There were seven, eight, nine totally beautiful guys in the class. I didn't even know that it was possible for so many good looking guys to be in the same room. We stared at them in awe, and it seems they were doing the same to us. These were no doubt the foreigners the whole school has been talking about.

After a couple seconds of gawking, Mrs. Butterscotch cleared her throat and made everyone's gaze fall upon her. "Whitney, Cassi, Abby. These are our new students starting today. Now, I've called you here for a number of reasons. First, Whitney is at the very top of her junior class, and knows were all the senior classes due to her advanced classes. She will be taking the senior transfers around and making sure they understand their schedule. Second, Abby is a very normal student who gets decent grades and stays out of trouble, so you'll be leading around the juniors and helping them accustom to their new classes. Also, Cassi is top of her sophomore class and is one of our brightest pupils we've had in years. So you'll be guiding the sophomores. And I myself will be showing the freshman around. I normally wouldn't ask this of you, but because I know that you all have good grades and stay in school, my choices are limited. Especially since a lot of people are still on their vacations, and can't come to work for a couple of days. So, thank you in advance." She sounded as if she'd recited this before actually saying it to us.

"Uhm, no problem." I cautiously said, a little confused why she even bothered to pick me considering I'm pretty normal when it comes to grades and school.

"Sure!" Whitney and Cassi exclaimed, who where already getting excited.

"You all have third lunch, correct? Well, for the next few days, I expect you to eat with them and introduce them to various students." She gestured to a piece of paper that had all the lunch times on it. "Now, may all seniors please go to Whitney and greet her." She said with a pleasant smile.

"Bonjour, ma chère. Mon nom est Francis." said a tall blond haired guy with a smirk. He approached Whitney with confidence and a self-assuring smile.

"Hello Francis, I'm Whitney. It's a pleasure to meet you." She said with a tight smile. Cassi snickered.

"Oh, non non. Le plaisir est pour moi." He said with his smile growing wider.

"I-I'm sorry," Whitney stated, suppressing a shiver. "But I can barely understand French…"

"Oh. Well, that's my fault for assuming you could, oui?" he replied, waving his hand in the air as if it were nothing.

"Y-yes, well, the only foreign language I can relatively speak is Spanish." she said nervously, as if she were trying to establish her place within the group.

"Oh? Well, I know you'd get along with Antonio just fine then." Francis replied with a smirk as he looked to the middle of the group.

"Uh… okay?" Whitney said in confusion, following his gaze as her face flushed lightly.

"Well, since my name is already mentioned, why not introduce myself?" said a tall dark haired boy in the center who was standing next to two short boys who I would have assumed to be freshman. "Hola señorita, me llamo es Antonio."

"Me llamo es Whitney. Encantado." she said shyly and looked away, blushing slightly.

"Igualmente," replied Antonio, who still hadn't looked away from her face. And then they shared a... wait... what is this? A sparkly moment? No way! I've only read about these in books...

"Ah-hem!" said the boy in to the left. He then patted on Antonio's back and murmured something, which caused Antonio to look around, flush slightly, and stand next to Francis. "Alright! The best is always last! I'm Gilbert! I would speak German, but I know a lot of Americans don't study that, so on to English!"

Whitney's response to this was more natural. "Oh, well nice to meet you Gilbert! I'm-"

"Yea, Whitney. I know. I got the picture a while ago." Gilbert interrupted, causing Antonio and Francis, and as well as Mrs. Butterscotch, to give him a stern look.

"So you speak German? Are you from Germany?" asked Whitney who already brushed off the earlier interruption and was attempting to smooth over the tension.

"Yea." He replied coolly as he walked over to Antonio and Francis. The three of them together seemed to give off an eerie vibe...

Mrs. Butterscotch then walked in the middle of the room and held a piece of paper to her face. "Alright. it seems that those three are the only seniors. Next will be the juniors."

Just then a medium sized boy with his hair in a ponytail carrying a panda backpack raised his hand. "Me first~aru!" I didn't know what to do, so I just stared at him and let him continue his introduction. "My name is Wang Yao! I'm from China!" he exclaimed with the biggest grin ever imaginable on his face.

"Uh, well, nice to meet you, Wang," I stated awkwardly. "I'm Abby. It's nice to meet you." I managed to say with a smile. Wow. Meeting strangers is kinda hard...

He simply grinned and walked over to my side. Then another boy from the far right corner came forward. A semi-tall blond haired guy with thick eyebrows and who wore a slightly awkward smile himself. (Good. I wasn't the only one having nervous attacks...) He then looked into my eyes and then seemed to relax. The look on his face confused me. It was almost like he was relieved. Relieved over what? I didn't know...

"Hello. My name is Arthur." He stated in a thick English accent. "I'm from England." I don't exactly know what happened, but I blushed. I could feel my face getting warmer. Was it the way he was speaking? Or was it his eyes? Such a perfect emerald green...

"U-uh. Hello Arthur. I'm Abby. It's a pleasure to meet you." He smiled then nodded and walked over to Wang's side.

Mrs. Butterscotch faced us again, but this time more towards Cassi. "The next two are sophomores, which will be in your care, Cassi."

Cassi gave her the best 'leave it to me' grin and said "Of course!"

"Can I go then?" asked a tall blond boy with glasses. "The Hero isn't used to waiting for so long." he said with a smirk as he stood up. "My name is Alfred F. Jones. Also known as the Hero of the World." he grinned. "I'm actually from America, i just transferred here from Washington D.C."

"Ooooh! Good, so I won't have to worry about translating slang for you!" Cassi replied, nodding and smiling. "Is where you're from different from here at all?"

"Not really. Actually, I think it's duller here than D.C, but, hey, who am I to judge?" he said with a snicker. And to my surprise, Cassi giggled.

"Well then, nice to meetchya. Im Cassi!" She exclaimed with a big grin.

"Sweet!" replied Alfred as he walked over to Cassi's side. And as he was doing that, a medium sized boy with black hair and an expressionless face came up.

"Kon'nichiwa. My name is Kiku Honda, but I would like to be referred to as Honda." He stated in a monotone voice. "I am from Japan and I am very pleased to make your acquaintance." he said as he bowed.

"Oh! Well, that's just fine. Honda right? And the pleasure is all mine. My name is Cassi." she said as she mimicked his bow.

"Great! Now that all the higher grades are introduced, let me introduce the freshman I'll be guiding around for the next few days." Mrs. Butterscotch said as she turned to face the remaining three people. "This is Feliciano Vargas. He just transferred from Italy. And this is his twin brother, Lovino Vargas who is also from Italy."

"You can call me Feli if you like." said the smiling one who looked as if he were dozing off into space.

"And you can call me Lovi." said the one that looked a little peeved off, but in a cute way. They both appeared to be very childish in the way they held themselves. Lovi had his arms crossed and was leaning against the wall, almost like he didn't want to be seen. And Feli was standing up straight, trying to be the center of attention. Polar opposites, these two...

"And finally," said Mrs. Butterscotch, grabbing all of our attention. There was another one? "This is Matthew." she gestured to the young boy who was next to the palm tree. I had totally forgotten he was there! Everyone must've forgotten, because they all looked at him strangely. Well, except for Cassi, who never lets her guard down. (She's a ninja like that.)

"Hi. I'm Matthew. I'm from Canada." This forgotten boy looked eerily like Alfred, but at the same time, he had Francis' hair cut. He also had on a very cute polar bear key chain hanging off his binder.

"Well, now that introductions are done, lets head to that assembly!" said Mrs. Butterscotch as she got up from her chair, walked to the door, and held it open.

As we were going through the door the announcement came on. "All students to the auditorium with their first period teachers. I repeat: All students to the auditorium with their first period teachers. Thank you."
