Lovino's P.O.V

Period 7: Physical Education

(A/N) I know I skipped like, five periods. Just trying to help the story progress)

The day so far went pretty well. Feliciano had opened up a little bit more to me after second period, and actually made school seem a bit more fun at least. Though, the last class was pretty boring. English isn't really my favorite subject, and the man who taught it, looked funny. Who has eyebrows that big? Feli and I started making jokes about his eyebrows, and we tried to keep our voices down, but we were caught.

He asked us what was so funny about Juliet's death scene in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. I couldn't come up with anything, so I looked over to Feli. " It's just, how can someone, let alone a thirteen year old girl, stab herself directly in the heart? There's a rib cage in the way, not to mention other things. We find it funny how illy-educated people were back during the Shakespearean era and medieval times. "

The man rolled his eyes before saying " Well as long as you're not too off topic, I suppose I'll let it pass, but, you two had better keep quiet while I'm reading. I'll separate the both of you if you continue to talk. And I understand you're new here , and that your father works here as well. But I expect you to behave ethically, irregardless of where you came from. Or I will have a conversation with your father after school. And the same goes for you . I wouldn't want to have to call your father. Understood? "

We both nodded our heads 'yes' and kept quiet for the rest of the period. Of course, we passed notes, and Feli made a little doodle of the teacher looking stupid. Then I made a little doodle of the teacher myself, but over exaggerated the eyebrows. Then the rest of the period became a little drawing session.

This period was gym, and since I came here in the middle of the year, Feli's Japanese friend Kiku lent me his gym clothes, seeing as I was supposedly a new friend, and a fellow student. That, and he didn't have gym this period. Feliciano and I walked into the boy's locker room, and several boys shot him dirty looks as we walked by.

I looked over to him and he simply just looked down ignoring them. I don't understand why almost everyone in this school hates him. He doesn't bother anyone, he's quiet, keeps to himself, and doesn't bother anyone. I just don't get it.

Maybe I can ask that scary girl, Sakura? I think that's her name. Pushing those thoughts aside for now, we continued walking to a corner of the locker room, where almost no one was at, until the same blonde kid from homeroom came up and stood in our way. What is with this kid? Before I could say anything Feli spoke up.

" Please move Alfred. " he said meekly. The kid only smirked and didn't move an inch. " Why should I do that? Little brats like you aren't allowed back here. What're you going to do about that, shrimp? " He said. I didn't like that glint in his eyes, feral and dangerous. I stepped in front of Feliciano, and stared down the kid.

" Just get the fuck out our way. What the hell is your problem? " The kid laughed " Oh? It seems you don't really know who I am, and it also seems that the little bitch made a new friend. Oh wait, that can't be right. You don't have any, so why are you with him newbie? What did he do? Pay you to be his friend?"

Feli grabbed my arm " its okay Lovi, just let it go. It's no big deal. " I pulled my arm away from Feli. No way in hell am I going to just let this kid bully him! At least not without doing something.

" I know who you are. You're a bully and an asshole. And just because you don't have shit to do, because you're just that much of an idiot, doesn't mean you have to go bother other kids, just so that way someone as dumb and retarded as you feels like they've accomplished something for the first time in your worthless life. " I said glaring him down.

The kid pushed Feli aside and got into my face " Oh I get it, the brat made you his body guard. " That's it, I don't care who he is, and I'm kicking his ass! " Fuck you. " I pushed the kid back for pushing Feli, and he fell back into the lockers. All the other boys went dead silent and just watched.

The kid got back up and ran at me ready to punch me in the face. I guarded my face with my hands and before he could throw another punch, I ran at him, one arm out in front of me acting as a shield, and the other arm balled into a fist, that connected with his stomach several times. I may not be the strongest there is, but I have a sense of strategy.

The kid curled up a bit, before pushing me back. I didn't loose my balance, but I didn't exactly like being pushed by this jerk. I ran back at him but before I could get any further, someone grabbed my arm, but I really didn't take much time to notice who. I turned around to see who it was, and it turned out to be Feli.

Feli dragged me away from him, and into the boy's bathroom. As soon as we were in, he sighed before turning to face me. He looked like a cross between mortified, shocked, and scared.

" What the hell were you thinking? Do you know what you just got yourself into? It's best to just ignore Alfred. Even if he is an ass hole! He's a fucking Jock who can just as easily send you to the hospital, as he can breathe! Look, I don't want you getting in trouble, especially on your first day of school. We're almost done with it, just one period left and you and I can both go home."

" Well I don't know exactly what I've gotten into, but I do know what I was getting you out of. Why would I just stay there and watch you get bullied? I don't care if I would have to get into a fistfight, I'd rather do that then let you get hurt. I don't care what type of reputation that kid has. I'm not going to let him mess with you. " Feli sighed and looked down

" Why do you care so much? " That, I haven't really thought of... he is a kid I just met, but he is a kid that needs help. My father taught me that good morals are important. Even if it seems like I blow off whatever he says, I take most of his words to heart.

" Because, a human wouldn't watch as someone gets beat or degraded. A human would care, or would help someone in trouble. Even the ones no one cares about, or ones that don't deserve it. Because if you show kindness to one person... it kind of spreads I guess. Plus, it's wrong to not do anything especially in a situation like that. Besides, I was kind of hoping we could be friends, and friends kind of do that for each other, right? "

(A/N: -enter socially awkward penguin here-) Feli looked down and fiddled with the hem of his sweater. " I-I guess friends do that for each other. I suppose I'd do the same for you too. I was kind of hoping we could be friends as well. " And then unexpectedly he hugged me. I've never really have been the touchy feely, type of person, so this was kind of weird (not to mention, boys don't normally hug each other) but I hugged back. Slowly, but I did. Then he mumbled something I couldn't hear.

" What was that? " I asked. He looked up a little and to the side before repeating himself. " I-I said thank you... " For some reason his face was flushed a light red as he said that. I let out a sigh and smirked a little. " You're quite strange, you know that? " He laughed a little, and we let go of each other. As I turned to leave, he grabbed my hand.

" Where are you going? " he shot me a confused look. " Aren't we going back to the locker room? " I asked. He shook his head no. " Then where are we going to change at? Or are we just skipping gym all together? " He rolled his eyes

" I normally change in here, if someone ever bothers me in the locker room. Of course that happens more often than I'd like it to. I normally hide my clothes right in that windowsill over there. If I put my clothes back in the locker room, they'll take it and throw it out. " I nodded my head, showing that I understood. Most of these people here are real jerks.

We both went into stalls that were right next to each other and we changed. After about a minute we both were out of the stalls. I looked over to him confused. " Why do you still have your hoodie on? Won't you be sweating? " He shook his head. The hood still covered his face and was pretty much pulled over his eyes. Now that I think about it... I never really saw his face, I only did once, and it was only enough to see his eyes and some of his bangs.

" The gym doesn't have heat, and it's October, so it's kind of cold. I go outside most times anyways. " I quirked an eyebrow " So then why do you keep your hoodie up? I'm pretty sure it's not that cold. " He shook his head and said something about being self conscious. I laughed a little " Well why don't you try taking it off? I'm sure you don't look that bad. " He blushed a little, from what I could see, and shook his head. I'm determined to get him to take off that hood.

" C'mon don't be so shy. I promise I won't say anything! " He sighed, probably annoyed from me pestering him, and put down his hood.

\What the hell? Feli has no reason to be self-conscious; he's not that bad looking. Of course he still

Kind of looked like a little kid, but it's actually kind of.. cute. The way his bangs framed his hair, and full lips, were almost cherubic. I could've sworn I had seen a purplish spot on his skin, but it seemed to have disappeared. I think I may have stared too long, and Feli took notice, and began to put his hood back up. " You don't look that bad. Well you don't look bad at all. " Since his hood wasn't covering his face completely, I could see him flush a deep red clearly. His eyes widened a bit, and he looked down.

" You promised you wouldn't say anything. " I rolled eyes and smirked. " You knew what I meant. Let's get going. " Feli nodded and put our clothes in the window sill of the bathroom window that was right by the sink. We walked into the gym unnoticed by the other kids, and we talked to the gym teacher. He was a tall albino, with white skin and red eyes. Wait... red eyes? Is that normal?

I looked at Feli and he shrugged. He must have read my mind. " I think he wears contacts to make them look red, but he always insists that it's ' his real awesome eye color '. In all honesty, this teacher is like a hyper five year old hopped up on every sugary food you can think of. "

" Then how did someone like him get a job as a gym teacher? " It didn't make sense. Especially with how he talked. ' Kesesese! So we have a newbie? I hope you can keep up with my awesome gym class! Especially since you came in the middle of the year, that's so un-awesome! '

What the hell is ' kesesese '?

" I don't know. Maybe he was the most hyperactive applicant for the job that actually seemed to take an interest in this. Most teachers here aren't very interested in their jobs. Mr. Kirkland, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Braginski are the only ones who care about the children's well-being and education.

" Of course, aside from coach Beilschmidt. Other teachers only care about one or the other. Which tends only to be education. That's why the rate of children dying here is increased by at least two percent, because when children need to get to the nurse or have to get out, the teachers assume they are faking and just yell at them. There are kids here with some minor diseases or mental disorder and are still denied being able to leave the classroom. Even Child protection services came down here to investigate,

" But the teachers all faked caring for the children. Even after the visits from CPS the rate remained the same, and the police got involved, after one family lost their kid. But they couldn't find anything wrong, so any reports from this school are almost always ignored, which increases the death rate of this school to about... six point five percent. Th- did you fall asleep on me? "

We were standing by one of the padded walls, waiting for the teacher to take attendance, and I somehow dozed off while he was talking. Oops. " Uh, sorry. I didn't mean to. I was listening; I'm just a bit tired. " He rolled his eyes and smirked "Of course you were listening. What was I talking about, and what was the rate percentage? "

God, was this a test? I honestly was paying attention; I just dozed off a little. "You were talking about how coach Beilschmidt might have actually got this job, about teachers who either do, or don't give a crap about you, how there are more who don't rather than do care in this school, this school's death rate, and how reports from this school are ignored, which increased it by five point six percent. "

He smiled and laughed a bit. " Six point five percent, but you proved that you're not guilty. " I laughed a little sheepishly " Close enough. Oh yeah, I wanted to ask, what are you doing for this unit in ?"

Feli tapped his chin for a moment before answering. " Well, not everyone stays in the gym. We have a couple options. You can either, go to the weight room, outside, or stay in the gym and do what ever the coach wants you to do. I normally go outside and walk near the forest by the school. Other kids are on the field just doing... whatever kids do. "

" So you're going outside then? " He nodded his head yes. " You want to come outside with me? Or are you staying inside? " I thought for a moment. I am in jean shorts and a thin white T-shirt ands its 51 degrees outside. But then again, Alfred might be inside, and I don't feel like getting into another fistfight. If Feli is going outside I guess Alfred won't be outside either.

" Sure. So we're just going to walk around? " He nodded " Pretty much. Even though it looks kind of gray outside, they'll let us go out, even if it's raining lightly. " I tilted my head, confused a bit, " Won't kids get sick? " Feli nodded and sighed " Death rate. " was all he had to say for me to get what he meant. This coach wasn't very bright, was he?

After about five minutes, coach Beilschmidt had us all line up in four lines. I was in the back of the first line with Feliciano, while Alfred was in the second line right next to us. He kept looking over at Feli and shot him dirty looks as we stood in the line. I swear I have half a mind to go over there and shove my foot down his throat. " Okay little children! Two laps across the gym down and back! " As soon as the orders were given, everyone began to run. Feliciano was right behind me, but he was seriously lagging behind. I looked back at him, and already in the first lap, he was out of breath. " Are you feeling alright? " I questioned. As we kept running he looked like he was going to faint. " Y-yeah I'm fine. I just kind of forgot to get lunch, so I'm a little hungry. That's all. " I tried remembering back to our lunch period, and I forgot, while we were sitting with his friends, he didn't bother to get any food.

" Why didn't you get lunch? You look like you're going to pass out. " I stated worriedly. He looked down as we kept running; everyone else was already done before us. He didn't bother replying to my question. The coach looked over at us, and came over to us. " Hey, is everything alright? " Feliciano just nodded and I shook my head. " He looks like he's ready to faint. "

The coach put his hand on Feli's forehead, which was very sweaty. It looked as if he ran across the world ten times over, non-stop. " When was the last time you ate kid? " " This morning. " The coach sighed. " Feliciano, you have been lagging behind in gym for a while now. Is everything all right? Does this have to do with you not eating? Have you been forgetting your lunch money or something? " Feliciano looked down and shook his head. " I just... forget to get my lunch sometimes. " The coach tilted his head " How do you forget, if lunch everyday? Are you anorexic? " Feli looked at him " No. I just forgot that's all. "

The coach looked as if he was about to say something else, but one of the other kids yelled " Hey! Are you going to keep us waiting all day? " He sighed before telling Feli to sit out, and I offered to keep an eye on him. " I suppose you can. But you still have to do the other activities after the warm-up is finished. " I nodded, and went with Feli to sit at the bleachers. I looked over at him, to see that he was hugging his knees tightly to his chest, and resting his head on his knees.

" Are you feeling okay? " he looked over to me and nodded " Y-yeah, just a little tired. " I nodded, something nagging at the back of my head. What's going on with this kid? I mean you don't just naturally act like this. He looks so melancholic almost all the time, as if he were trapped in hell. He acts a little weird, when it comes to talking with others, and it looks like he's hiding something.

Not to mention the whole possibility of him being anorexic. It seems like this kid is just a complex and intricate puzzle.

Eighth period: Spanish 3

Well remember how I said my dad got the job as a Spanish teacher at the school that I just so happened to be attending? Well now, I coincidentally ended up in his class, along with Feli. I just hope that he won't try to embarrass me, saying ' mi pequeno tomate! ' Or mentioning that I'm his son. The former would be the worst, to say the very least. Then again, we have the same last name, so I'm screwed irregardless.

Feliciano and I were on the third floor, on our way to the fourth, and he seemed like he was still struggling to recover from gym. During gym, we went outside, and I walked around with him. I insisted that he rest a little bit more, but, instead he kept walking saying he was fine. Alfred did come outside, but the most he did was glare at us, and occasionally walk towards us. Feli would walk away in the complete opposite direction of him, to the point where he was almost in the forest that surrounded the back of the school. When the other kids approached Alfred, I heard him snicker and say to them: " He's like a deer. Just going to run away from everything. Heh, he's my prey. " He said deviously, eyeing Feli. I glared at him and made sure to flip him the bird.

" Hey, I just realized something. " Feli's voice broke me out of my thoughts. " What is it? " I looked over to him; he seemed to be doing a little better. He's not panting, or sweating anymore. " I realized you and the Spanish teacher have the same last name. " Oh god, no. " Yeah, that's my father if that's what you're thinking. " he nodded his head thoughtfully. " Do you think anyone else will notice it? " Feli giggled. " Well there is at least a nine out of ten chance. I'm sure it'll be fine. "

I'm almost hoping I die of embarrassment at this point. As we walked into the classroom, my father was sitting at his desk, asleep. Feli giggled some more, and I sighed. God, how did he even manage to keep his previous job? (Which was a security guard, and don't ask me how he got that job, it is beyond me.) Well at least no one else was in the classroom yet. I walked over to my father and I nudged his shoulder. " Hey, dad. Wake up it's not siesta time, get up. "

He only groaned and shifted his head before saying " Pero, Lovinito~. Yo estoy muy cansado. Yo duermo por cinco minutos, si? " I blushed a little, as he called me Lovinito. " Papi, nosotros estamos en escuela! No a la casa! " He jumped up, and a sheet of paper was stuck to his cheek. " Oh! I forgot! I spent so much time up last night that I must have dozed off! Oh, did mi hijo come to check on his papi? I see you made a friend as well; I'm Lovino's father, what is your name? , Maybe you can come visit us sometime. "

And there he goes again. Speaking ten thousand words per second, and the paper still stuck there " Papi, we are in your class, and this is my friend Feli. And it's weird to invite him the day you met him. " I said as I peeled the piece of paper off his cheek. Feli gave a small wave and murmured a quiet hello. " Wait, you're in my class? Wonderful! " I rolled my eyes and my dad looked at us again. " Whoa, you two look alike! He looks just like you Lovinito, just with lighter hair, and the curl is on the other side. Did you find a long lost brother or something hijo? " I quirked an eyebrow. But now that he mentions it... what are the odds that you find a kid that looks almost like you, is adopted like you, and the same nationality? No. I don't remember much from when I was a kid, but from what I do remember, I don't remember having a brother, or any siblings.

If he were my brother, we would at least have memories of each other in the orphanage, right? Students began to fill the room, as the late bell was about to ring. Feli and I took seats next to each other and he began the lesson. This was Spanish 3, and I've been speaking Spanish pretty much my entire life, so this was a piece of cake. Feli on the other hand... he wasn't too bad, but he was way too formal. Most times, instead of saying 'tu' he would say 'Usted', even if he was talking to me he would still say 'Usted'.

At the end of class, I went to my locker (which was thankfully on the third floor). After I put away my things, I realized Feli was gone, and as I turned to go look for him, the creepy girl from second period randomly appeared right behind me, smiling. " So I thought you'd like to know, you're now a friend and not a foe. You stood by little on in the face of danger, trying your best to try to save him. Your good deeds don't go unnoticed little brother bear. You know not how much good you have done, to the sad, melancholic, little one. ". …What? Why did she just call me a bear? " Pardon me? " I asked confusedly. She only smiled more and ruffled my hair. " Thanks for saving little one. " and she ran off. I guess she was thanking me for standing up for Feliciano. Wait... how'd she find out? Well maybe Feli told her. Or we have no privacy in the locker rooms.

Feliciano's POV

I walked to the forest after I got my backpack from my locker. I know I left Lovino behind, but I'm too happy, I think I want to cry. If I cry, he might find out. No one can. Not again. I ran deeper into the forest smiling, tears flowing from my eyes. I finally reach the clearing that I always go to, and walked under the willow tree that was in the center. I climbed up it, pulled out my pocketknife, and cut the rope that was tied around it. I smiled even more as I got down. Holding the noose I had tied before school, a cried and smiled. " I-I don't have to do it anymore! "
