2.
Seychelles woke up with sunlight streaming down on her face. She sat up and yawned. She looked around at her room. Hey wait how did I get here? Did I walk here on my own? Did I clean my room? Oh well I'm safe so I guess… no harm no foul, right? She looked at her alarm clock, which showed it was eight in green neon lights.
"Merde, I'm late!" Seychelles leaped out of bed and changed out of her old crumpled up uniform into a new clean one. She redid her pigtails, tied the ribbons on them, then slipped on her shoes and grabbed her backpack.
Too bad I never finished my homework. Seychelles sighed as she ran to her class.
She got in just as the last bell was to sound. She took her seat with everyone watching her.
"Class, time to hand in your homework, please pass them up." Mrs. Greenwald, our teacher, said.
Seychelles hesitated, she couldn't hand it in. What am I going to do, sacrebleu!
"Seychelles is something the matter? Why aren't you handing in your work?" Mrs. Greenwald questioned.
"U-um you see…" Seychelles fiddled with her ribbons. "It's just…" Seychelles sighed in defeat and reached into her backpack to grab the unfinished work. She looked them over and almost fell out of her seat. They were all done… perfect. She looked them over once more and pinched herself to see if she was dreaming. Did I wake up in another world? One where I did my homework and cleaned my room. This is unreal.
"Well?" Mrs. Greenwald asked. The class watched as Seychelles rose from her seat and went up to the teacher's desk.
"It's done." Seychelles said, still mystified. Mrs. Greenwald turned around back to the board to start the lesson. "Wait, could you check it!?" Seychelles almost screamed.
"I'll check them all later, Seychelles." She replied with her back still turned.
"No, I mean could you just look it over fast? You don't have to see if the answers are correct, just if it's completed."
Mrs. Greenwald sighed and took the papers from the desk put on her glasses and looked them over while Seychelles stood there waiting.
"They're all completed." The teacher stated when done.
"Merci!" Then she headed back to her seat. So, I'm not dreaming I really did do it.
After class she ran up to England. If anyone could tell her what was going on it was England.
"England! Angleterre!" England was sitting at a lunch table outside eating… god knows what.
England's head shot up fast looking around and saw Seychelles running toward him. Suddenly, Seychelles lost her footing on a loose sidewalk stone. She tripped and fell onto the concrete. She laid there a minute checking if anything was broken, nothing was.
"What did I say about running?" England was looming above her.
Seychelles moved her head up to look at him and her chin rested on the ground. "But, I'm not in the halls." She smirked.
England smirked back and offered a hand. "You really are a clumsy one aren't you?" Seychelles accepted the hand and he pulled her up.
"Yeah." She was a little dirty from the fall but she should be thankful that nothing broke.
"So, what did you want?" England asked as he ate his meal, Seychelles was sitting across him.
"Huh?" Seychelles asked confused.
"Did the fall scramble your brains?" England joked. "You ran here screaming my name, in French which I hate."
"Oh! Yeah, um this might be a little weird but… um…"
"Good God woman spit it out!"
"Did I um do anything strange last night?"
England looked at Seychelles thinking she was joking but her face was dead serious even a little scared. "Um no, why do you ask?"
"Well, I woke up in my bed, my room all straight and neat, and my homework done. Did I miss something?"
England cringed inside wondering if she knew that he did all those things. "Well… um…" How was he going to break this to her without Seychelles thinking he was some sort of creep or pervert like France. The thought made him shiver. To be compared to France is worse than sitting in Bugbsy's Chair. "No, you did not 'miss anything'. You simply must've walked yourself up to your room, cleaned it, and then went to bed."
"Then how do you explain my homework being done?" Seychelles questioned.
"Look, I don't have all the questions in the world." Only the ones you're asking me about…
Seychelles dropped the subject, much to England's delight. England started poking his food with his fork and when he finally got it on the utensil he lifted it up to his mouth and took a small bite.
Seychelles just had to ask. "What is that?"
"'That' is scones, they're famous English food." He happily finished it.
Seychelles decided not to comment on how inedible it looked. "England?"
"What is this? Question England day?" England looked annoyed but it couldn't get past Seychelles. She could tell from the glimmer in his eyes that he was really just kidding with her.
"I was wondering…" England got up to dispose of his trash and Seychelles followed after him. "How come I never get to visit your house?" Seychelles blurted out. She meant to say it sweetly but instead it sounded like an accusation.
England froze. "What do you mean?"
"Well, you always visit my home so I thought why can't I visit yours?"
"Those visits were only for business purposes only." He wagged a finger at Seychelles.
She shrugged back at him. "A visit's still a visit."
England could tell Seychelles wasn't giving up, she was persistent. "Fine one day you may… come over."
Seychelles's eyes lit up. "When?! What time!? How long?! Where's your address?!" Seychelles asked a million questions a minute.
"Hold your horses! Tomorrow you may come; around noon, preferably; for one week and ONLY ONE; and thirty- one Prosper road, England."
"I'm going to England's house! I'm going to England's house! I'm going to England's house!" Seychelles sang.
"Bloody hell woman! Don't announce it! Oh, bother."
Seychelles ran away from England.
"Hey! Seychelles! Where are you going?" England called after her.
She turned her head around and yelled, "To my dorm, I have to pack!" He watched as she almost tripped again on the same spot on the sidewalk. She caught herself just in time though, all the while still running. He smiled at her childlike ways. She was cute.
Hungary and Taiwan came over to help Seychelles pack.
They laid down on the ground, tired from packing. Seychelles zipped up the third suitcase and laid down on the floor next to her friends.
Taiwan was the first to break the silence, "So, do you think you'll have fun at England's." She said it like she knew something that Seychelles didn't. She had that gossipy tone in her voice.
"Yeah, fun?" Hungary poked Seychelles in the arm with her elbow. Now she was doing what Taiwan was doing.
"What do you guys mean?"
"I think you know." Taiwan said. They smiled mysteriously at each other.
"Well, I don't know so I think I'd like an answer." Seychelles pouted.
Taiwan whispered to Hungary, "She even sounds like him."
"Who? And what is this about?"
Hungary sighed. "Do you want me to tell her or do you?"
"WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME!?" Seychelles yelled.
"YOU LIKE ENGLAND AND ENGLAND LIKES YOU!" They bursted at the same time.
Seychelles stared at them for a long time then broke out laughing, tears rolled down her face. She rolled around on the floor, while Taiwan and Hungary could only watch. She stopped laughing and wiped away the tears. Seychelles sat up and looked at them and saw they were not laughing, not even smiling. "Y-you're serious."
They shook there heads yes.
"N-no! We- we don't like each other! Impossible."
Taiwan spoke up, "Come on Seychelles everyone has seen you guys together. You guys laugh and have fun and even joke around with each other. You look at each other in a way that looks like nothing else matters. Sure, you argue from time to time but really you guys are the perfect couple."
"You've been reading too many romance novels." Seychelles shook her head in disbelief at her.
"Besides, he was the one to carry you to your dorm." Hungary said.
"Wait! What do you mean 'carry me to my dorm'?!"
"Well, I was heading home late with Prussia and we spotted England carrying you in his arms. It looked like you were sleeping. We followed him and saw him bring you up to your room with your books and everything."
England brought me home… that explains why I woke up in my bed with my room clean. Did he do my homework for me too? Nah, he's a straight honors student and Student Body President we wouldn't do other people's work for them.
"Oh come on! Don't tell me you're ignorant to it."
"I never really thought about it like that…" Seychelles said quietly. She looked at the ground thinking it over. Did England really like me? Do I like England? Am I really that blind? Seychelles bit her bottom lip while her thoughts spiraled around inside her head.
"Oh dear," Her friends noticed her in deep thought and felt bad, "maybe we shouldn't have told her this before she goes to England's" Hungary said.
The shock shook her out of her trance; she's going to meet England at his house tomorrow.
