Chapter Nine

(Y/N)'s POV

Summer break is finally over.

I passed the entrance exam on the school I'm going to study. I got all my school supplies that I needed.

Thanks to my prince friend Kiku who helped me pass the exam and the King and Queen gave me a scholarship. I owe them, very much.

"(Y/N), wake up! You're going to be late for school!"

"Coming mom!" I yelled back as I finished brushing my teeth and went out of my room with my bag. I'm wearing a yellow vest and a white button-up shirt underneath, and a short, green checkered skirt...

(A/N): Watch Hetalia: The Beautiful World Episode 2...and look at the boys' pants. That's the color of the skirt she's wearing.)

...and a pair of (E/C) socks/stockings above the knee and I tied my (H/L) hair into a ponytail.

I went to the kitchen counter and saw (B/N) wearing his usual clothes; V-neck shirt and a pair of pajamas.

"Hi brother!" I greeted. "Gotta eat my toast before it gets soggy, bye!" Then I ran out of the house and I heard him say, "Good luck on your first day of school!"

I didn't wait for my bodyguard to wake up so I decided to go to school alone and I was about to step on the ground when a carriage landed in front of me.

"Miss (Y/N)-aru!" It was Yao who called me from inside. He was wearing a navy blue vest, an extremely long, wide-sleeved shirt underneath and he was wearing pants with the same color of my skirt and his hair was in a ponytail. "Hop on-aru, you don't want to be late on our first day of class-aru."

"No, thank you. You go ahead and I'll commute."

"I insist-aru." He opened the carriage door and I sighed in defeat besides, he has a point. And when I got in, the coach whipped the horses to make them fly up in the cloudy sky.

I looked below and saw the whole kingdom and I can also see my house from here.

"Wow..." I mumbled.

"Beautiful view right-aru?" He asks as he sat, legs apart.

"Yes, your Highness. Actually, I've never rode a carriage like this before and I've been dreaming to ride on this since I was a kid!" I replied happily.

I saw some tall mountains and wide rivers and lakes around and I was about to tell him when he suddenly hugged me, not too tight.

"W-What are y-you doing, y-your Highness?" I stuttered.

"H-Hugging you...aru" He trailed off, knowing what's going on— my heart suddenly fluttered. My hands slowly went to his back mindlessly. Hus hug was warm and comforting. When he pulled away, I frowned. "What's wrong?" He asked, his caramel eyes piercing into mine.

My cheeks turned pink, "N-Nothing, your Highness." before looking away.

"Oh, we're here-aru." He blurted softly and the carriage landed in front of an extremely huge building. I wore my bag again and saw him opening the carriage door beside me and gestured me to come out and I did, realizing that his gesture said "Ladies First".

Then he went out with his bag on his back and started to walk towards the majestic building.

"Welcome to Royal Academy!" I saw a good-looking girl. She has long brown hair with flowers on the right side of her head, some odd curls sticking out and she's wearing the same clothes as mine,  passing flyers, probably a map because I might get lost without that piece of paper.

I walked towards her and she gave me a flyer and I was right. It is a map of the school.

"I'm Elizabeta or Eliza for short, and yours?" She held a hand as she asked. Based on her accent, she's Hungarian and her English is fluent.

"I'm (Y/N) (L/N), I'm from (name of kingdom) and nice to meet you too." I held mine and we shook hands as well.

"Well, since it's one hour before our first day of class, I might as well tour you to the whole school."

"Sure, why not?" I asked her response was her giggle and we went off. Yao noticed that we're walking away from him and he followed us immediately.

-------------------------

As soon as the school bell rang, Eliza dragged me by the arm and ran our way towards the room where my assigned room was located, I assume. When me and the Hungarian girl went inside, there were other five students I haven't met.

The first student was a male; he has brown hair in a small ponytail, green eyes, slightly tanned skin. And handsome too.

The second student was also a male; short blond and curly hair, ocean blue eyes, slightly shorter than the first one.

The third one was also a male; short blond hair,  blue eyes, and a pair of glasses on his face.

The fourth one; female, neck length blonde hair with a hairband/headband, also blue eyes and the most arousing part of her body was her BIG pair of breasts. Every move she made always made them bounce.

And lastly... The fifth one; female, long blonde hair, purple eyes, and a frown on her face.

----------

It was lunch time and I already met my new classmates plus thirteen new classmates. I am now located at the Royal garden where all kinds of plants, flowers, trees are held in one place. I even brought my lunch box, a (flavor) drink, and my only sketchpad.

And guess what? One of the thirteen new classmates is no other than Prince Soo Young and Prince Yao

"Aiya! So, you're here-aru!" A Chinese accented boy suddenly exclaimed, making me flinch and shriek.

"Yao? What a coincidence." I say opening the lid of my lunch box. "Since you're my classmate and friend, why don't you have lunch with me?" I asked.

The Chinese prince nodded and sat on the bench beside me and we discussed about (topic) and it turned out well. Not a minute later, another pair of students went inside the garden and when they saw me, they gasped.

"Are you the girl who's been kissed by Prince Ivan?" - Girl #1

"And rode on Prince Ludwig's horse?" - Girl #2

I blushed slightly. "That's a misunderstanding, he didn't kissed me. It was my friend's fault and her camera. And...y-yes, I did ride on his horse but it doesn't mean I chose him as my...you know." My blush darkened.

"SO COOL!" The two females ran up to me and said...

"I'm Candice. Candice Barrau." Said the hair with pink and blonde hair with blue ribbons on her ponytails.

"I'm Riley Mills, nice to meet you." Said the girl with brown hair. She held her hand for a handshake and so do Candice and I.

After the handshake, they looked at the familiar Chinese prince and it clicked them.

"G-Good afternoon, your Highness." Thy bowed in respect.

"Good afternoon, ladies-aru." He bowed back slightly. "If I may ask, what were you two doing here-aru?"

"We were just passing by the Royal garden when we heard someone talking so we decided to check it out, right Riley?"

"That's true. And may we join you two eat lunch?" Riley asked kindly.

"What do you say, Prince Yao?" I asked.

"If that makes you happy, then I guess it's okay." He grinned and Operation: Lunch Time started.

----------

I am now walking down the hallway alone because Riley and Candice parted ways with me and Prince Yao has some think work to do until I saw a poor boy being pinned and bullied by somewhat handsome but unpleasant personality but the only thing that bugged him was his cheeks got pink.

He pushed the boy away harshly and said, "I'm not done with you, yet." Before he went off.

I shivered furiously because of the fact that he is one of my classmates and I'm preparing already for the worst.

I went towards the boy and held him a hand and he held his a to pull him up and said, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He looks familiar...

"I-I'm f-fine." He says.

"I'm (Y/N), and you?"

"I'm Raivis from Latvia."

"Well Raivis, let's get you treated." Since he's shorter than me, I decided to carry him bridal style (REALLY?!?!) To the nearest clinic inside the Academy.

----------

The nurse finished treating the Latvian's bruises, stating that he's free to go and get back to class. I heard a Hungarian voice from outside the room and when the door opened, she immediately hugged me and also the Latvian.

"Goodness gracious! Good thing he didn't hurt you." - Eliza

"Yeah, but this boy was hurt." - Me

She glanced at Raivis with worry and then said, "He did that to you, did he?"

"Y-Yes, h-he t-threatened me to tell all the students that I'm afraid of spiders."

"That's kind of lame, but what does he exactly look like?"

"H-He has l-long b-blond hair, g-golden yellow eyes. H-He's wearing the same uniform as ours, h-his polo shirt was halfway u-unbuttoned and the j-jacket of his uniform was used as a c-cloak and he has bandage on his t-torso."

"Got it." Eliza nods as she wrote the details in a piece of paper.

"Ravis, if 'he' bullies you again, make sure to tell me and Eliza right away and I will be the one to confront him, is that clear?" I said in calm and comforting voice not to make him nervous.

"Come on, you don't want to be late for our next class." Eliza smiled, making the Latvian blush as we went out of the Nurse's Office.

I feel kinda relieved that I have friends who are always there by my side and never leaves without permission. I remembered the incident at the locker recently and while the bully looked at me, his cheeks turned pink or it's just my imagination. One thing I only noticed was his handsomeness— What am I thinking about?!

I just realized that we're inside the classroom with Eduard [Estonia], Toris [Lithuania], Katyusha [Ukraine], Natalya [Belarus], Roderich [Austria], Bella [Belgium] and Matthew [Canada]

Raivis caught the other students' attention and saw that he has bruises and bumps, they ran towards him and stopped as they began looking at the poor boy's injuries.

"Oh my goodness! Raivis, are you alright?" The Ukrainian girl asked hysterically as she pets his head.

"Who the hell did this? I'm going to kill him or her." Natalya said in an emotionless tone.

"One of our classmates, Natalya. And I'm sure he's a delinquent." I said.

"Can y-you describe him or her, (Y/N)?" Bella asked.

It was the perfect timing when a certain bully went inside with a box shaped like a circle (seriously, why not?) with a ribbon and some beautiful designs.

'I wonder if he has a lover...'

And when he turned to my direction, he immediately turned pink and looked away. All of my classmates backed away, except for Eliza [Hungary] was holding a frying pan behind her back as a surprise. The bully stopped in front of my desk and handed me the box.

"I-I'm O-Osorō S-Shidesu, w-will you a-accept this small g-gift as an apology for g-glaring at you earlier?" His cheeks turned red every time he stutters.

I held my hands and when my hands wrapped around the box and made contact on his hand, instead of giving it to me kindly, he shoved it onto my chest before walking away, fast.

"Open the box, (Y/N). It must be one of his traps." Eliza said warningly.

"But it's a small gift, why don't you go relax and soften that brain of yours?" I joked before untying the box's ribbon and opened it.

I was shocked because of what I saw.

It was a box of chocolates and I saw a note that said;

I hope you like my gift, even if I don't know your name yet. And can we meet at the garden after class? I hope you'll be there in time...

Sincerely,
Osorō Shidesu <3

I covered my mouth like literally and gasped.

"What is it, (Y/N)?" The Lithuanian asks as my other classmates went towards me and Ravis leaned against my arm.

*GASP!*

"A box of chocolates?!" They all exclaimed and blushed (some of them blushed slightly). I wasn't expecting that he can buy these kind of chocolates, it was high quality and expensive.

Eliza took the little sticky note and read it, and she finished reading the small note, she fangirled like an idiot and blushed slightly as she squeals.

Roderich picked up the note and the rest of my classmates read silently.

"'Meet me at the garden'?!" The said in unison and wide eyes as I pet the Latvian's head with care.

"Why would he meet you at the garden when he can meet you outside the classroom?!" Eliza says.

"Maybe he just wants to know (Y/N) better and talk about their usual things." Roderich has a point.

"Remember, he's a delinquent. He might hurt you again even when you two are alone in the same place, or might take your virginity away." Eliza giggled.

"Just please, shut up and enough with your perverted suggestions."

"Ma Cherie!" I looked at the door and saw Prince Francis grinning sweetly as he gestured me to come outside.

"Annddd who is this? Your "lover boy"? I bet he always turn you on." She smirked and the others went 'ooohh' and some just laughed.

I blushed, "N-N-N-No! You got the wrong idea!" I wave my hands frantically as my blush darken. I stomped out of the room and gripped his hand tightly and went to a nearby corridor.

"What on earth are you doing here? I told you not to call me my "Ma Cherie", do you understand, Mr. Bonnefoy?"

"But—"

"No buts! If you do that again, I'll make sure that I will throw all the roses you gave me that I earned."

"I understand your concern but please let me explain."

"Explain. Now." His face softened like an innocent puppy. I probably went too far.

"Look, I just wanted to say that..." He trailed off and his cheeks started to heat up real good.

"Say what?"

"...I wanted to ask you out on a date." Now his face got redder every second he looks at me. I found him as a flirt but it's rare for him to be a gentleman rather than a flirty flirt.

"Why didn't you say so? Of course, I'd love to."

"Are you free on Saturday?" He asked and I nodded.

Then the bell rang.

"W-Well, class is starting in a few minutes. See you later, Prince Francis!" I waved at him as we parted ways and went towards our classrooms.

That was awkward.

And when I got inside, I was now surrounded by some classmates of mine. I glaced at Raivis behind the crowd and he's being treated by Katyusha. And she was considered the Mother of the Academy because of her personality.

Anyway, back to where I was surrounded by some of my classmates...

"Girl, what happened between you and Prince Francis?" - Eliza

"Yeah, tell us!" - All of them

"Wait, how did you know Francis is a prince?" - Me

"Well, when the viral picture spreaded throughout the entire school, we found out that you've became so popular these days." She began, "and we already know that you've became friends with the princes." She said as the others nodded.

"Wait, how did you know all about that?"

"I found the details in the HetaBlog [Hetalia Blog] and the owner of this website is the girl named Ruby." Bella added.

That Ruby!

Obviously, she was the one who made that website and the contents inside it is no other than me and the princes. I feel kinda guilty that she didn't include the picture when me and Prince Alfred kissing in the middle of the plaza of the village. Wait, what?!

"Ciao, bella! I-a brought-a you some pasta just for-a you!"  I looked at the door behind me to see Prince Feliciano carrying a pair of small Tupperware lunch box full of freshly cooked pasta, smiling widely.

He gave me his lunch box and opened it, aroma filling my nostrils. "That's so sweet of you, thank you Feliciano." I smiled back, causing the Italian Prince to blush.

"Ve~ y-you're-a welcome, (Y/N)! Well, what-a are we-a waiting for? Lets-a eat PASTA!" He then grabbed your arm and went to your desk and sat down on the chairs nearby and placed our lunch boxes on the table.

He gave me a fork and we started digging in. As I took a forkful of his deliciously-made pasta and swallowed it, my stomach began to explode with fireworks inside me.

"Hmm! I didn't know you can cook pasta this good, it's so delicious!" I noticed that everyone left for some fresh air or something important except me and Prince Feliciano alone, at least there are no distractions all around us.

"Ve~ Grazie bella! I-a thought you didn't like it— ah! There's some sauce on your lips!" Before I could protest, he wiped the remaining sauce using his thumb and as I glanced at his eyes, his golden brown eyes were filled a bit of lust as I flushed red.

He pulled away and went back to his chair, licking his thumb. "What-a about-a my-a reward-a? For-a making my-a bella smile?"

"And what would that be, your Highness?" I asked as I took a forkful of pasta again.

"I don't know actually. Should I do it-a for you?" He looked away while slightly scratching his flushed cheek.

"Let me finish my pasta first."

----------

After we finished our pasta, I gave him the now empty Tupperware lunch box and washed our hands.

"(Y/N), now-a that we-a finished eating, shall I do the honor?" He started to move forward as I started to back away slightly.

"Wh-What are you doing, F-Feliciano?" I felt something solid on my back and the only thing I realized that I was now pinned by the Italian Prince at the wall near the entrance door.

"Giving myself a rewards because you couldn't think of something surprising. Now, may I?" His voice turned into a seductive one and I guess I have no choice but to accept 'his' reward. My face turned crimson red at this.

I nodded.

He closed his eyes and that exact moment when he landed his lips against mine. Of course, my eyes widened. As the kiss got longer more than I expected, I can still taste the tomato sauce on his lips.

I can't hold it anymore. I slowly closed my eyes as my arms wrapped around his neck and his arms around my waist and it became heated. He's really GOOD at it, no wonder why he's a good cook.

Our moment was ruined by a camera shutter and quickly pulled away to see Elizabeta holding her phone and the others were shocked and blushed at the same time and the worst part...his hands was on my waist and my arms are on his neck.

"I'm so speechless." - Natalya

"So cute!" - The Three Baltics

"Unacceptable!" - Roderich

We pulled away completely and began to sulk in the corners of the room. I heard the others squealing from happiness.

-------------------------

Finally! Class dismissed!

After the bell rang, I stretched my arms and yawned as the others were still talking at other desks.

As I'm reading messages from Mom when a hand suddenly banged on my desk table, making me jump. Looking at the familiar bully, I can tell by the looks of him, I think he's pissed off.

"I'm warning you, don't ever interrupt me when I'm bullying someone, IS THAT CLEAR?!" He exclaimed, and everyone looked at us.

I froze in shock.

"I'll take that as a 'yes'." Was all he said before walking out of the room carrying his bag.

What...just happened?

I felt my heart race in nervousness. Anger rose to my heart and mind. I picked up the box Osorō gave me and went out of the classroom to search for a nearby garbage can. As I found one, I immediately threw it inside without hesitation and I felt tears dropping from my eyes.

Narrator:

As (Y/N) walks away, she didn't know that Osorō saw his gift being thrown into the garbage can while hiding beside the lockers and it made him regret his words.

"If I can just turn back time..." He felt his eye watered and he began punching the wall behind him literally that it made the wall crack, causing his left knuckle to bleed but he didn't mind the pain.

Back to (Y/N)'s POV

I went back to the classroom corridor to see my Prince friends waiting for me or just as I thought...

Arthur was the first to notice me and when he saw me crying, he ran up to me and grasped my shoulders slightly.

"(Y/N)! Are you okay? What happened to you? Why are you crying?" He said and the others were catching up to us.

"I'm okay, I'm crying because you all waited for me." I smiled sweetly and wiped my eyes using my handkerchief.
I was totally lying in front of them.

"Since we have some time left, why don't we go to the arcade? Come on, let's have some fun!" Alfred gestured us to follow him. And to be honest, it would be fun when I join them play arcade games since my hands and arms are a bit tired.

"Sure! And some ice cream and cotton candy too!" I happily exclaimed and he nodded.

-------------------------

Were at the inside of the arcade building which is not fully crowded and the next thing I know that there are people staring at us.

Déjà vu.

They just turned back to their games and they were IGNORING us throughout the whole building floor that we've even existed.

"Looks like they didn't know us based on our clothes, am I right?" - Alfred

"I guess so." - Me

I saw someone familiar and he's playing basketball with (F/C) and (H/L) hair which is similar to (S/N)'s. She was wearing a sailor uniform, where she was studying at the Junior Academy, I assume. And the familiar boy was wearing a gray oversized thin jacket and there's no doubt that he's not wearing a pair of shorts because he looked like he's only wearing underwear.

I'll explain:

The Royal Academy consists of three schools; the Junior, Middle, and the Senior academy.

(S/N) was studying at the Junior,

Juliane told me that he was studying at the Middle,

I am studying at the Senior;

While my older brother is studying at the Senior and after the school year, he will graduate and leave the city for a year to work.

End of explanation...

We went inside the arcade room, searching for the latest game while I walk towards those two who were still playing.

"Excuse me..." I called and the two turned around to see Juliane and (S/N) gasping in shock. "What are you two doing here? Wait a sec, did you ditched class?"

"We're in the same school, dummy." She pouted as I face palmed. She literally has a point. "And what are you doing here? With the Highnesses?"

"A-Alfred wants us to play while we have some coins left." I stuttered as my cheeks getting red.

"Oh well, suit yourself. Me and Juliane were still playing." She shooed me.

I suddenly got bored and my hands are tired.

I sighed and walked out of the arcade room to buy ice cream and I don't want also to play games on the arcade right away and I need some energy from the food I eat. I glanced behind, they mustn't have noticed I walked away from y because they're busy with video games.

I went to a nearby crêpe shop and there were tons of customers who wanted to buy the latest crepe, I guess. And when I bought the latest recipe, I carefully received the tastiest but a bit cheap crêpe; it has (Favourite toppings) and some chocolate drizzle on top of the whip cream. And it was at a large size so I took a bite of it...

O_O!!!

It is so good! I wonder why there are always got surrounded by customers in that shop, it must be popular these days. I continue to linger around the mall and glanced at the shops like dresses, shoes, slippers, salons, etc. And someone that caught my eye...

"Soo Young [S. Korea]!" I grinned as I waved my arm and when he saw me, he waved back and I decided to talk to him for a while.

"See? I told you we will meet again." He smiled as he frowned a bit, butterflies on my heart and stomach. And then the next thing happened, his soft and smooth hand held mine and began lingering around the huge building. Heart beat: 150 BPM.

Arthur's POV

While I was playing a racing game with Alfred, I felt something or someone is missing so I just shrugged it off and glanced at the others, still busy playing except for that bloody frog [Francis] who's still flirting with the ladies outside.

The game ended which Alfred won. Again.

"Yay! I won again!" He cheered. Actually, I do like the game but I always lost, I don't know how he can just win without any mistakes. By the bloody way, where on earth is (Y/N)?

"Have any of you seen (Y/N)?" I said as the others were looking around as if she was missing— wait, MISSING?!

"She must be lingering around the building finding something to eat." A familiar voice butted in. It was her bodyguard Juliane and her sister riding on his shoulders. "I saw her walking that way." He said, pointing towards the escalator.

I pulled him (Francis) away from the ladies and started searching for (Y/N). We started from the ground floor and we scattered around.

"No sign of her."

We searched the second floor...

"No sign of her."

We searched the third floor...

Well, there's a sign of her. I was the one who saw her first...with someone else!

They were holding hands while sitting on a bench at the mall's plaza. So I took a pair of binoculars and watch them talk from the third floor.

Third Person POV

"So, what happened to the rest of your vacation? Was it interesting? Horrible? Romantic? Or special?" He asks as he pulls his hand away from (Y/N) and brushed his hair using his fingers.

"Special."

"Why?"

"Because of the Japanese Prince/Friend named Kiku, I couldn't have studied and stay at the house for the rest of my life."

"He sure is a good prince." He smiled and tucked some extra hair that was hanging in front of her face using his left hand, causing their noses to touch.

***LOUD SQUEAL***

They looked at their surroundings to see people squealing and fangirling at them and they realized the position they're in.

Meanwhile~

Before the squeal...

Arthur was still spying on them...

"Arthur, no-a sign of her—" Feli was about to finish his statement when the Brit wasn't listening.

"Arthur, are you listening?" Francis asked, still got no response from him when it clicked him. He glanced at him and followed his eyes' stare and found where is he staring at.

"Aiya! Look, it's (Y/N) and Soo Young— why are they holding hands-aru?" - Yao

"I don't know. Maybe he just want (Y/N) to get closer since there are a lot of people gathered for something occasional, I assume." - Kiku

As Arthur kept spying on them, he saw the right moment when Soo Young leaned and tucked (Y/N)'s hair behind her right ear which made him angry or should I say...jealous?

The crowd began squealing as they realized what's going on, so they quickly pulled away to prevent from making squeals from the crowd.

"Ohononon~ Looks like someone is jealous and started stalking its prey~" Francis teased him, making his face red.

"S-Shut up you bloody git! I-I'm not jealous!" He blushed again, but this time, his face turned crimson red. 'I know it's obvious, but what is he doing here?'

----------

4:30 pm

After an hour of spying, Arthur finally gave up and marched down to the plaza using the elevator while the seven other princes sighed and decided to follow him.

(Y/N) and Soo Young were still talking about things like 'How did you got your first kiss?', 'How did you became friends with the princes even though you're a villager?' And etc. when the British prince stomped to her, snatching her hand, dragging her away from him.

"See you at school tomorrow, Soo Young!" She waved while being dragged and the Korean waved back as he smiles.

When the two got out of the building, they went into an alley and he pinned her against the wall.

"L-Let me go, Arthur!"

"No, I'm not letting you go. And I don't want to see you talking to that bloody wanker again." He leaned forward and attempted to kiss her when—

CLANG!

The Brit had passed out from the attack of someone.
