*knock, knock*

Your sleepy eyes slowly rolled up your eye lids and stared at one of the bland walls of your dorm; one day you really need to give some life to this room. You could feel that your right arm was draped over the bed and your finger tips were grazing the carpet.

*knock, knock*

A sigh whistled its way through your nose and you lazily stumbled your way out of the bed, trudging over towards the door and opened it at the same time you cracked your back.
Laid out in front of you was Mr Germania and a few other students you didn't bother to take notice of.

Mr Germania: frowning
Miss ----

You cut him off by slamming the door shut in his face the second you realised what was happening; frantically you tugged on your clothes to straighten then out and slid a few fingers though your hair to look presentable.

OOPS!
You slammed the door on your school principal!
If there was any chance of him giving you a second chance, you just blew it!

Your hand snatched at the door and swung open the door in lightening speed.

You: bowing and apologising
I'm so sorry!
I wasn't thinking!

Mr Germania: glaring at you
Are you aware of the major offences you committed?
Thievery, kidnapping two of my students, destruction of property and revealing the location of the island.

But it was Gilbert's idea to take the helicopter.
If anything Berwald was a stole-away.
No one could have predicted that the helicopter was going to crash.
And I'm guessing that Gilbert told him that a citizen must have gotten everyone back.

You: keeping your head lowered
Yes, I understand... I'm prepared for any punishment, even expulsion.

Well time to kiss goodbye to any chances of becoming a marine biologist away...
No use bothering about decorating your dorm either.

Mr Germania: loosening up his shoulders
You will continue on with your usual classes today, by this evening I will have made up my decision on what to do with you.

You: letting a few tears roll
Th---

Someone yawning cut you off, but when you lifted up your head to see who it was, everyone including Mr Germania seemed to be wordless and fixated on something that was behind you.
The sight of seeing Berwald seated on your bed and with his legs under the blanket, rubbing his eyes and reaching over for his glasses had you flabbergasted.
WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!?!

Berwald: staring at everyone with his glasses back on
Mornin'... What? Has everyone suddenly transformed into a bunch of perverts over night?

It was like a truck had ran you over with a big wide load of embarrassment; you were so dead now.
You didn't bother to look at anyone, your feet were now the most interesting thing in the world and your life would end if you looked away from them; you were paralysed.
You didn't have a clue about who saw this, but had a feeling you'll gage a rough idea throughout the day.

Mr Germania: talking in German
Und deshalb war ich so dagegen, ein Mädchen auf der Insel zu haben. (And this is why I was so against having a girl on the island)

Was he just speaking German?
That means if he's not talking to himself out loud...
Gilbert, Ludwig and or Roderich are at the door too, seeing everything for themselves too.

Silent tears now began to race out of your eyes, making a soft pattering noise as they hit the top of your bare feet.
Embarrassment truly was a cruel torture!
Reece was right, at this rate you'll end up writing yourself a fate you never dreamed off!
This was not how you planned your life!
All because! ... BECAUSE! Be-cause... You were born this gender you were?
If you were born male, you wouldn't have been forced to come to International Seas, Reece wouldn't have babied you, you wouldn't have been seen as fragile, you'd be allowed to protect yourself, you could write your own fate and make it true, you wouldn't be restricted... Male is the more favoured gender?
But you can't help what you were born.... You will never roll over and die.... You still have a heart beat in your chest and oxygen in your lungs.... If you have a dream, you will succeed.... All you need is a little faith and a will that is stronger than a thousand men.... Cause you were born this way.... Not only will your write your own faith, but history is going to get a remainder as to why females aren't the weaker gender; we are all equal and our passion doesn't die from a quick second of regret... It only stokes the fires.

...

Well this is one of the most awkwardest breakfasts so far in your life; though one could only imagine how the rest at the table are feeling. Like usual you were having breakfast the Nordics, except no one has said a single thing; you could tell that they hated hearing everyone gossiping about you, the looks they would give when they walked past with their trays and the names they would call you under their breathe as they walked past. It doesn't matter, who needs the approval of a thousand people when you can have the true friend ship of only a few.... That is if they are secretly thinking mean things about you and just aren't saying it to your face.

Tino: breaking the silence at the table
... Everyone is so bored with their lives, they'll do anything for cheap entertainment.

Mathias: stupidly blurting out
YEAH! Besides everyone knows that Berwald is hella gay for Tino!

Everyone at the table tensed up, except Tino now seemed really uncomfortable in his own skin. Lukas gently placed down his piece of toast and locked eyes with Mathias for a few seconds, before 'accidentally' knocking over the Dane's half full glass of pineapple juice all over his pants.

Mathias: standing up and looking at his pants
It looks like I just wet myself!

Lukas: getting out of his seat and dragging Mathias by the ear
I'll help you clean up in the restroom...

Berwald: lifting a spoonful of porridge into his mouth
Han kan vara den enda manliga jag gillar, men det utesluter inte kvinnor. (He may be the only male I like, but that doesn't rule out females) Är inte denna rätt Tino, sanna personlighet frågor till hjärtat. (Isn't that right Tino, true personality matters to the heart)

Tino: nervously fiddling with his hands and answering in Swedish
Ja.

You: removing your glass from your lips
Do you, know... Swedish?

Tino: nervously shaking his head
Yeah, it's common in Finland for people to know at least Swedish and English along with their native tongue, maybe even a few other languages.

You: looking at Berwald
Berwald?

Berwald: shaking his head
I don't know any Finnish.... It's hard.

You hummed and went back to your breakfast, but just couldn't block out all the eyes that where burning holes through the back of your head; you were use to being stared at because of your status in the school, but now those stares where filled with hate. A quick glance up at Emil made you even more unsure, you've never heard him talk and have no idea of what he thinks about you now; did he ever really like you?
A familiar British accent snapped you out of your mindset and looked up to see Arthur holding his tray and giving you a scowling look as Vladimir stood beside him holding an apple and carving something into it with a spoon.

Arthur: grinding his teeth
I hope you had fun love, because the three of us have been slaving our bloody fingers to the bone over the Commerce assignment. It's due 2nd period today; hope you enjoy the grade you didn't work for!

Just like that the fuming British blood stormed off not very majestically as he speed-walked away while trying not to drop any of the items on his tray.
Vladimir pulled up a seat that was Mathias's usual spot and sat on it so the back of the chair was pressed up against his stomach; in simpler words he just tried to look like a bad boy that doesn't know the correct way to sit on a seat. He smiled up at you for a second and then put all his attention back onto carving the apple. It didn't take him long to finish and just like that he stood up, placed the chair back like how he found it, placed the oval part of the spoon in his mouth and placed the apple in front of you, having the carved side showing directly at you.

Vladimir: quickly pulling the spoon out of his mouth and showing a toothy smile
I think you deserve to be treated better; your not like what people are saying about you right now.

Berwald leaned over to read the apple as well and then proceeded with telling Tino what it was, just in case if Emil had any curiosity about it as well.

"If your heart is broken, make art with the pieces"

The quote at the end is from Shane L. Koyczan [Blueprint for a Breakthrough (2013)]
This was just a quote I found online, but if I got who it belongs to wrong, please correct me and I'll fix it.
I have a cousin in Finland who is a few years older than me and she can speak Finnish, Swedish, English, Russian and German all perfectly... I'm really jealous XD

Thank you for reading!
