A/N: okay sooooo i really hope you like this i force myself to write on the weekends when i can't upload so you can get new chapters when i get back.

Fuck.

That was the only thought I had as I stared at my ceiling at six in the morning.

I had forgotten in the past week (The cockroaches had left for their European showing a day after me and Carson's adventure) that I still had to go to school. At a private school no less. I scowled all the way down the stairs and into the kitchen. Meredith was there waiting for me and smiled at my arrival. That just made me scowl all the more.

"Its school isn't it?" Meredith said I frowned; I had let them get under my mask letting me be myself around them. But it had some consequences. One of them being that people could read me like a fucking open book. The only people that could see under my mask without me lifting it were Mama, papa, and Feliciano. So there was only one person now that could, that thought stung a bit as it flittered across my mine. In response to her question I just sunk lower into my arms.

"Eggs and Bacon, Romano?" Maria said stepping out of the kitchen. I nodded not lifting my eyes to meet hers, she left quietly. Carson came into the room in a grand display.

"Hey little dude you ready for your first day of school?" He said sitting next to me, I just lifted my head and glared at him. He held his hands up in a display of surrender.

"I'm going to take that as a no…" he said as he stared at me I glared at the counter, I could feel his eyes on me. Just then two plates were set out in front of us; I looked up to see a smiling Meredith.

"Thanks Meredith! Romano I would suggest eating so you're not hungry halfway through the morning." A smirking Carson said digging into his plate. I (at a much slower pace then Carson) picked up my fork and started eating.

It wasn't long before I was dressed in my school uniform with all my supplies in my backpack heading out the door. I carefully walked to the waiting sleek black car that I had arrived in the mansion in. The chauffeur held open the door as I climbed into the back of the car, giving an involuntary shiver at his cold gaze. Carson had informed me that his name was Berwald.

The drive to school was a quite one, not that I minded. As we pulled up I looked in amazement at the building, even after living in a mansion for the past week or so, this place was amazing. The car door opening knocked me out of my amazed staring. And I cautiously got out; I walked up to the front of the school, trying to blend in with all the other kids. Carson had told me I need to go to the office to get my stuff like my class schedule. I stood looking around the hallway, scanning the brick walls for some sort of sign that could tell me where the office was.

I found it finally walking in there I stood awkwardly in front of the desk, waiting for the women to notice me.

"Oh! Do you need help?" she asked leaning on her desk.

"I'm new...a-" but id didn't have to say anything more because she nodded.

"Oh so you're the new student coming in. they told me you would be coming in, Romano Vargas right?" she said holding up a folder with my name on it and then ripped out two pieces of paper from a notebook next to her and started writing. I nodded, and she handed it to me, it was orange with my name printed on the sticker.

"Follow the instructions on the piece of paper and when you get there would you show Mrs. Havelson the other note as well. Have a good first day!" she called our cheerfully (a little to cheerful if you ask me) as I left scowling, I was not going to have a very good first day, and It was only eight in the morning.

I lugged my backpack to my classroom, the overly cheerful lady had put written instructions in my orange folder, so walking up a set of steps I came to a class room that was labeled, 'Mrs. Havelsons room'. I knocked on the door after debating with myself I shouldn't just leave and sneak out and not ever go to school. But against my better judgment I knocked on the door, I could hear the noise level go down as I heard the familiar clip, clip of heels making their way across the floor.

The door was opened by a smiling brunette, she didn't look very old I wondered how long she had been teaching for. I quickly showed her a note that the overly cheerful women had wrote for me, she quickly read it as I watched the other kids out of the crack that I could see between her and the door.

She ushered me into the classroom which was covered in Rainbows, not even kidding, rainbows were everywhere.

"Class, this is Romano he will be with us for the rest of the year. So I expect him to be welcomed with open arms." But looking at their faces, I had a feeling they weren't really going to be welcomed with open arms, more like with a barbed wire and a cage. The only one who was really smiling at me was one with sliverish hair and creepy bright red eyes. I couldn't tell if that was good or bad, or maybe he just gives everyone that look.

The first half of the day passed without incident not that I thought it wouldn't, especially when there was a teacher right there that was keeping a really close eye on me, because I was the new kid and might need help to adjust. I was not a fucking kid, I never really was even before the incident, and I had to be the more mature one, a strong pillar for Feliciano to lean on. But after the accident I defiantly was not a kid anymore I knew that now.

But soon enough it was lunch and recess, which could only mean one thing. Bully primetime. So as soon as I could I found a swing to sit on trying to stay as inconspicuous as possible, but it only lasted for so long, soon enough they caught up to me.

"So how does a loser like you end up in a public school like this? It certainly wasn't for your brains." Said a snobby voiced guy as he stood in front of me. But I just stayed silent hoping that if I did he would just go away, but with no such luck.

"So you think you're too good to talk to me? Huh is that what you think? Well let me tell you, you are sorely mistaken." He said hissing out the last part of it. But before he could continue with his rant -which was making me more and more angry by the minute- a voice interrupted (a very loud and annoying voice might I add).

"The awesome me is here to save you!" A voice called out, making all three of the bullies heads whip up to see the strange boy. I slowly looked up to see who had interfered. It was the boy from earlier, the one that was smiling at me when I was introduced, next to him stood a boy with longer blonde hair, it was wavy but he was looking down at the ground.

"Oh it's just Gilbert…let's leave these morons alone." The head snobby boy said to the other two boys next to him as they walked off. I could tell they were scared of Gilbert but didn't want to show it.

"My names Gilbert and this is Matthew!" Gilbert said as soon as they were out of earshot Matthew gave me a small wave at the mention of his name. They actually didn't seem half bad.

"You are now my awesome friend."

Wait…What!

A/N: Are you surprised I put Prussia in there as Romano's sort of friend? I was to but when I thought of it I couldn't say no it was kind of cute and ironic.
