Chapter One: The First Day of School
A/N: The first day of school really is a terrible thing, unless you're prepared. Our poor nations defiantly are…not. Especially poor Alfred/America who is not a morning person by any standards. So, a few things from me… Thank you to everyone that reviewed and/or favorite/added to story alert. Second thing, it's been a few months since the accident at the world meeting, so everyone is used to their situation. Anything else will probably be explained later.
Warnings: Romano's mouth/America's grumpiness/Co-ed dorms (Because I couldn't put the four girls all by themselves in one building.
(Oh, and in my mind, they've already spent a night or two in the dorms to get used to it.)
Chapter Start
When the twenty-six synchronized alarm clocks all sounded at a rather painstaking 6:30 in the morning (at leaset for them), a few were already awake and prepared to face the day ahead of them. Most however, were not.
"Al, please wake up… We have to leave soon…" Matthew didn't really sound as if he were trying to awaken someone, but he rarely ever spoke above a whisper. It even seemed that he was incapable of shouting.
Alfred, the quiet boy's twin brother, moaned and rolled on to his back. Matthew sighed and jumped on his stomach. His brother winced, but refused to get up. It was usually like this in the mornings. Alfred would refuse to get up and Matthew would have to try to physically pain him until he woke.
"I'll pour syrup on your glasses again…"
"Mattie… You're so mean. Now get off…" Alfred growled almost menacingly. Matthew slid off of Alfred's stomach and allowed his brother to get up. "Hey… Mattie... Are you making pancakes…?" Alfred asked as he brushed his teeth.
"We're meeting the others for breakfast, remember?"
"Oh… that's right…"
"Feliciano, wake up, ******!" Lovino shouted into his sleeping brother's ear. Well, he didn't actaully shout. More like forcefully whisper.
"Vee~… Lovi! Don't be so scary!" Feliciano cried, jumping up.
"Gilbert, vake up! Ve're going to be late for the meeting!" Ludwig shouted. Of course, by 'meeting' he meant meeting the others for breakfast.
"Vest… zat's totally unavesome…" The albino muttered into his pillow.
Ludwig grabbed his brother's leg and literally pulled him out of bed. "Bruder, get up!"
Most of the residents of the dorms were already awake, minus Gilbert, Feliciano, and Alfred, who were now awake. The group met outside the dorm building and made their way to the campus café, all silently thanking some of the older students for a tour around campus the previous day. While they walked, Feliciano went on and on about how great it was that they, all friends, had been accepted into the same college.
"Of course we did!" Alfred proclaimed. "I'm the hero, everything always works out!"
Arthur sighed, brushing his bushy eyebrows with his fingers absentmindedly. "Will you shut up, wanker… Everyone's staring…"
"Of course zey are!" Francis purred. "Zey cannot resist my charm." He blew a kiss at a group of girls, causing them to squeal.
"I wish they had churros here…" Antonio sighed.
"Churros, seriously? You know vhat vould be avesome? If zey had vurst und no eggs. Gilbird can't eat any of zis!" Gilbert announced distastefully as he shoved his plate full of eggs away. "Anybody vant zese?" (1)
"Bruder, ve can't help it." Ludwig sighed. "Just eat…"
"Vee~ Aren't you going to eat, Luddy?" Feliciano asked, poking Ludwig's shoulder.
"Stop bothering the potato *******." Lovino muttered.
"Let us arr just eat so we can get to crass on time…" Kiku said politely.
"I agree with Kiku, aru." Yao nodded.
"Agreement originated in Korea, da-ze!" Im Yong proclaimed, hugging Yao from behind.
"You leave Yao alone, da?" Ivan asked, smiling. "KolKolKol…"
"Ah! Did we d…do something w…wrong?" Eduard, Toris, and Raivis automatically asked, cowering.
"Hey, like, leave Toris alone!" Feliks said defensively.
Roderich and Vash sat quietly eating, ignoring occasionally glances from Elizabeta and Lilli.
"Ivan; marry me, marry me, marry me…" Natalia uttered creepily.
"Sister, please..." Katuyasha pleaded.
Tino and Berwald tried to re-awaken Heracles unsuccessfully.
"What are the odds that I'm doomed with you lot for band class and world studies?" Arthur moaned, banging his head on the desk. (2)
"It must be fate, mon cher." Francis said, putting an arm around the British man's shoulder.
"Let go of me, and I told you to stop calling me that, bloody frog!" the Brit cried.
The instructor walked into his most diverse class ever and smiled. This was going to be fun. He tapped a marker on the board to get everyone's attention. "Hello, students. My name is Mr. Smith. I'm pleased to see that you all know each other, and I heard several different accents… the ice breaking activity should be fun." Mr. Smith was a middle-aged man with graying hair, blue eyes, and he wore a nice looking suit.
The students looked around for any clues from their friends, but received none.
"I want you to introduce yourself, say where you are from, and something about yourself that almost no one else in the room knows."
A/N: The boring morning routine chapter. And yes, generic teacher name is generic. Generic teacher man is right though. This is going to be a very interesting class.
Ok, I'll post all the characters schedules later so you can figure out where the heck they are and when. Right now, they are all in fourth period/class.
(1): My friends and I were eating breakfast at a hotel one day on a band trip and had a five minute debate about Prussia's dietary habits. We finally decided that he didn't eat eggs.
(2): Yes, they are all in band together and yes I have instruments for them all to play. There will be a band chapter later, I promise.
Now, I will try not to focus on one character too much, but if you feel that someone is not getting enough screen time, tell me!
And yes. I did really accidently forget to include Matthew/Canada in the breakfast conversation. I didn't actually do that on purpose.
Remember, reviews are love! Feel free to suggest ideas!
