The inside looked like a cross between a coffee shop and a high class restaurant. There were round tables placed all
around the room, covered with linen table cloths and fancy plates and cutlery. In the front of the room was a long table
where the teachers ate and could chat while watching the students. All around the room were tall windows covered
with velvet curtains. Soft light came from candles and lights scattered around the room. Despite all of this it remained
calm and laid back. Nothing like a five star restaurant, even though that's what I would think at first glance.
I could finally see how many students were here. I could count about 200 hundred, very small. Then it hit me
that this was an elite school went for the very best. I took a seat next to my twin at a table near a window. The table
was already almost filled with other students. It felt weird to be among people of my own age group. I was used to
being surrounded by the countries, people older than myself. Usually people my age bored me after a short chat. There
were five other people besides myself and my brother. Before I got a chance to introduce myself caterers served us
foods from all around the world: hamburgers, pasta, escargot, fish and chips, and sushi just to name a few. I put a
little of everything on my plate and began to eat quickly. The sooner I was finished the sooner I could go to my room
without any incidents.
I cleaned my plate and was about to stand up when one of the boys at the table said something.
"Did you even chew your food?"
I glance over at him. He looked like a star athlete for the football team. He had a muscular build and short
cropped brown hair and blue eyes.
"Yes, I chewed my food," I let my voice drip with sarcasm.
"You could have fooled me," He laughed.
I was about to say something rude when one of the boys, also from our table cut in," Let her eat how she
wants to. Quit bugging her."
"Yeah, Leroy, if you want to pick up a girl there are other ways to approach her," a girl spoke up.
Teddy choked on his drink and coughed," You're trying to hit on my sister?" He burst out laughing.
"What's that supposed to mean!" I yelled at him.
"Someone thinks you're a girl," He was laughing so hard now that tears were rolling down his cheeks.
"She is a girl," A very quiet voice spoke up. It was the girl with short black hair and a complexion as pale as
snow. Teddy blushed and looked down at his plate.
"You guys aren't half bad," I muttered under my breath.
"Well we try," A dark skinned boy with long, thin dreadlocks grinned at me. I blushed, I didn't think I had
been that loud.
The boy continued," 'Sup I'm Kiko and you would be?"
"Sam."
"No last name?"
"I have one but I didn't feel like saying it, it's not that important ."
"Whatever, anyway we might as well introduce ourselves. That moron over there is Leroy Jenkins," He pointed
to jock.
"I'm Ami!" She had beautiful brown ringlets that matched her outfit perfectly. She must have spent hours on it
and her make up too. She didn't even look like she needed honestly. I felt suddenly embarrassed about my sweatpants and wrinkled t-shirt.
"Nice to meet you," Teddy smiled," I'm Teddy."
"That's a cool nickname, dude. What's it stand for? Theodore?" The boy who had shut up Leroy spoke up
again.
"Yeah, what's your name, dude?" Teddy inquired.
"Lucky."
"That's a pretty awesome name," I remarked. He shrugged and continued eating.
"I'm Roze," The black haired girl said.
"Hello, Rose," Teddy leaned in closer to her.
"Teddy you're drooling," I smirked.
"I am not!" He hastily wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
"How charming," I giggled.
"Oh shut up!"
I grinned and stood up once again to go back to my room. I think I could get used to these people but first I
really needed a shower and to get some sleep.
"Hey! Sam, where ya going? England hasn't even said all the important stuff," Alfred walked up to me.
"Can't you just tell me what I'm going to miss?" I asked.
"Nope," His smile got wider and he ruffled my hair.
"I told you not to do that Alfred."I pushed his hand away, annoyed.
"That's Mr. Jones to you and you can wait a little while longer," He grabbed me by my wrist and pulled me
back to the table I was sitting at.
"Alfred," I whined.
"Mr. Jones," He corrected me patiently.
"Why can't I just go to sleep?"
"Because I said so," He dropped the subject and started to talk with Leroy, Lucky, and Kiko about sports and
told jokes.
I rested my chin on my hand and turned to the main table and waited for England to make his announcements.
About ten minutes later he stood up and called for the attention of everyone and to hush.
"Welcome to another year. You should be proud to be a select few that get to train here and even more
grateful that we are here to teach you. Before we make our way back to our bed and get some rest for tomorrow there
are a few matters that must be discussed, the rules. First now going into each other's dorms, the men stay in theirs
and the ladies in their dorms. Two, you must stay on campus at all times. No sneaking out after curfew or during the
day. You have to have special permission to leave campus. You will get the chance to stretch your legs soon enough on
"free weekends" I'll explain more about those when the time comes. Rule three, you must attend classes. Rule four, no
public displays of affection. Rule five, stay in dress code. Everyone should have received the handbook with the full
extension of the dress code and the complete set of rules. If any of you wankers decide to ignore the rules you will be
severely punished understand."
As he said those last words he got a frightening look that reminded me very much of a reckless pirate. Behind
him Russia gave of a sweet smile with a deadly purple aura and I could see Kailyn shift a gun on her hip.
"Remember there are always eyes watching you," He grinned and with a clap of his hands he dismissed us.
I stood and made my way towards the door but again before I could make it out of the building someone grabbed my
arm.
"What?!" I snapped; I was super tired.
"Chill, Sam. I just wanted to warn you that these rules apply to you too," Alfred gave me a stern look.
I laughed, "Nice try Alfred."
He laughed, "Well I tried, I was told to tell you that by England. We're all going to treat you like a normal
student you know."
"Well I'm off to bed, good night," I hugged him and let my head rest on his chest. He stroked my hair and
returned the hug.
"Alfred!" England's voice cut in," What do you think you're doing!"
"I'm giving Sam a good night hug like I always do, you know that," Alfred sounded slightly irritated.
"She's your student, remember? You can't just go around hugging your students! People will get the wrong
idea!"
"Like what?"
"Like you're sleeping with a student!"
"Well I'm not!"
"Sure looks like it if I didn't know better!"
"Oh ye-" Alfred started to say before I cut them both off.
"Shut it both of you! Geez, if it makes you feel better I won't hug him anymore. Sorry about causing problems.
And Alfred, I mean Mr. Jones, Mr. Kirkland is right. We don't need to give people the wrong idea. Well good night," I
said and then walked back to my dorm to get some sleep.
