Note: I do not own APH in any way possible. I've finally finished another chapter, whew! Thank you everyone who voted in my poll, I know majority wanted me to update Dense wall but since I already done this, I might as well update this first. I can't update soon lately because the week's been rather busy, I even have a test next week even though exam was supposed to be over I think I'm getting affected by the seventh month also *gulp* Please R&R.

So the night passed rather quickly. By the time Lovino went back to the room, Antonio was sleeping like a log, the clothes on his bed lying peacefully on the floor. Carefully, Lovino stepped over a few clothes and headed for the bathroom, did I mention they had a small bathroom in every room?
He was out in no time and had to dry his hair manually in order not to wake the sleeping Spaniard. When he was done, he slipped into his comfy new bed and settled down. Glancing one last look at the peaceful face of the sleeping Spaniard, Lovino felt blood rushing upwards, taken aback, he quickly turned his back at Antonio and tried to sleep…
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Ve~ how was the first period of your class?" Feliciano bounced enthusiastically beside the sullen Lovino as they walked to the next class they had which was the same class.
"Freaking brilliant," Lovino hissed with sarcasm. It had been a far cry from brilliant, unless you count girls squealing about him looking like Feliciano and boys starting to compare the two of them before they even knew him were good. Not only that, after he had opened his mouth, that was when everyone gave one shocked look and began whispering even more! They shot him a few looks, as if comparing him with someone else, which was obviously Feliciano.
Now, the mentioned person was bouncing beside him, they even had the next class together! People were bound to start comparing them, especially when he opened his mouth…
"Ve~ Are you listening to me, Lovi?"
"Chigii! Don't call me that!" Lovino shot a glare at the unaffected Feliciano,
"I was saying do you want to sign up for the buddy system?" Feliciano repeated his question patiently.
"The what system?" They walked into the class room and immediately, they were surrounded by girls and boys, all chatting away with Feliciano and once in a while, glanced at Lovino. Feliciano was really popular.
Having no chance to ask Feliciano what he meant, Lovino went and sat at a random table. He spotted the Alfred guy among a crowd of people who were at the other side of the room.
If they were to have classification, Lovino knew Feliciano belonged to the bubbly and enthusiastic group while that Alfred dude belonged to the cool and loud group. As for Lovino? He never really felt he was in the classification from the beginning… talk about inferiority complex.
The teacher strode in. Lovino's jaw nearly dropped down. It was none other then that travelling idiot, that bastard who left with only Feliciano, the one who neglected him, and the one who left the family he had for goals unknown. It was Grandpa Rome.
"H-how? Why? What?! Chigii!!!" Lovino had stood up abruptly; unaware of the attention he was drawing, pointing an accusing finger at Rome who had an innocent face on his rather too young for his age face.
"Calm down Lovino," he said with a smile, angering Lovino even more, "I started teaching here, that was the sole reason why Feliciano studies here. In my lesson, you are to call me Mr Rome and welcome to Hetalia School, Lovi."
"Chigii!!!" Lovino felt himself turning bright red with anger. Feliciano immediately tugged his brother to sit down.
"Ve~ Why are you angry, isn't it great that Grandpa Rome teaches our class?"
"Damn it! This is something you'll never understand!" Lovino pulled himself away from Feliciano, still fuming red. For a moment, Feliciano looked upset but he bounced back quickly.
"Guess what Grandpa Rome teaches!"
"Like what? That history subject he travels around just to gather information about?" Lovino spat back bitterly.
Feliciano's eyes sparkled with amazement, "you're so clever Lovi!"
Lovino could have nearly smacked himself on the head, it was obvious what Mr Rome would be teaching, the subject he left his family for, the subject he used as an excuse to travel far and wide. Now, he's a history teacher, he'd rather be a teacher then go back to Italy! The nerve of that guy!
Despite what he felt, Lovino held back his seething anger and passed the lesson without a single word. Feliciano threw worried looks at him but he ignored him. The bell finally rung and Lovino was itching to get out of class as soon as possible.
"Wait, Lovi!" He flinched; Mr. Rome had just called him to wait. He glared back, giving a what-the-hell-do-you-want look.
"Just so you know, I've signed you up for the buddy system already so there's no backing down from it," he said with a smile, promptly picked up his stuff and left a confused Lovino standing there.
"What does this buddy system freaking means!?" He shouted into the already empty classroom in frustration. He was alone; Feliciano had been swept away by his crowd of friends already.
He exited the classroom with a huff, banging the door behind him.
"Whoa, what bit you?" Lovino turned his head to look at who said that, it was none other then his new roommate.
"What do you want, you bastard."
"Nothing, you shouldn't use bad words, it ain't cute," Antonio shrugged.
"Like I care about being cute! If you want cute, go find Feliciano for all I care!"
For a moment, Antonio looked hurt. Lovino bit his lower lip, regretting what he had just said.
"L-look, forget what I said," Lovino turned and began walking away, hiding his slightly red face.
He quickly made his way to his next class, turning at a sharp corner and… THUMP!
He fell backwards, his forehead stinging. "Chigii!!! Watch where you're walking! Damn it!"
Lovino opened his eyes to find that Arthur guy infront of him, rubbing his own forehead. It was the second time they had bumped into each other.
"You again! One more time we bloody bumped into each other, I'm bringing you to the student council's room!"
"What?! This isn't some kind of freaking offence!"
"It is an offence to hurt others!"
"Then that's the same for you!"
The two of them were seething with anger and at a dangerous level too. Antonio must have seen it as he had hurriedly approached them.
"Are you alright?" He asked worriedly at both of them, though it was more directed to Lovino.
"I'm not freaking fine at all!" Lovino shoved him, stood up and stormed off.
"What is his bloody problem?" Arthur mumbled as he stood up.
"I'm guessing it must have been a bad first day," Antonio sighed. The two of them knew each other; after all, they both had a wide range of friends.
"A newcomer eh? I'm not surprised…" Arthur mumbled towards the vanishing figure, all anger forgotten.
"I hope you'll forgive him this time," Antonio said.
"I'm sure that's not a problem… Say, is he related to Feliciano?"
"Yes, he's Feliciano's older twin."
"… You okay?"
"I'm—"
"Hey Arthur! Watcha doing on the ground?" Alfred strode up to them.
"It's not I intended to be on the ground, you twat!" Colour rose to his as he stood up.
Antonio watched as the two conversed. With a slight smile, he turned and left them alone.
"It's really… alright…"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Lovino sat down in his English class, sitting next to a quiet and polite guy who identified himself as Kiku. The lesson dragged on, being taught by a constantly shaking teacher known as Mr Toris. The lesson passed without trouble.
Lovino stood up and began packing his things, he felt tired and wanted to skip the rest of the lessons but knew he shouldn't on his first day there. He only had two lessons left, Spanish and Mathematics. Not exactly his best subjects but at least there weren't art.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Ve~ Lovi, are you still mad?" Feliciano came up with him, they had Spanish together.
"I wouldn't if you bug off."
"Ve~ that's sad!" He pouted.
"Oh deal with it," Lovino hissed. "Also, you never freaking gave me an explanation about this buddy systems thing."
"Oh right! The school's buddy system basically pairs people up mainly on scores, those good at some subjects will be paired with those bad at those subjects, vice versa, when one is sick; the other has to collect the homework, notes and etcetera."
"The school has such a system?! And Rome that bastard signed me up for it?!"
"Ve~ that's grandpa Rome or Mr Rome. And it's a good system! It paired me with Ludwig!"
"You mean that potato bastard?"
"Ve~ Ludwig is Ludwig."
"So why were you paired with him?"
"He's bad at art and I'm good at art."
"… That's it?!"
"Well, yes. Usually, it also depends on who's on the waiting list. There shouldn't be much people now that most of the school year is gone."
"So this freaking system isn't compulsory?"
"Nope, they value freedom a lot here."
"Great, then I can just sign myself out of this stupid thing!" This was the first good thing that might actually be happening!
"I'm afraid not." The twins turned around to see who it was. It was Roderich.
"Who the hell is he?" Lovino asked Feliciano, not bothering to ask softly.
"Ve~ He's Roderich Edelstein, the dorm leader, he's in charge of all the male students living in the dorm."
"Yes I am," the bespectacled man straightened up. "And I'm here to inform you, Mr Lovino Vargas, that pulling out of the buddy system isn't going to be possible anymore."
"What?! Why?!" He should have known it was too good to be true.
"That's because, your new buddy has already been decided."
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I hope it wasn't too cliche or something. Lovino's a tad more to the depressing side for some reason =.= And I guess Antonio isn't totally over Feliciano yet =( Hopefully I'll update a happier chapter next! Please R&R in the mean time and do the poll in my profile XD
