Author's Notes: I revised the first chapter, so I hope it's easier to read.
"That's impossible, you can't really be Hungary!" I said in an unintentional condescending manner.
She shook her head lightly at me.
"It's true. This is the one and only World Academy W."
I looked at her with horrified expression while realizing everything was REAL
"B-but wait! If you're telling the truth…" I started using my hands to motion at some non-existent diagram before me.
"And you're really who you say you are, and I'm really where you say I am." I paused.
"T-then that means….OH NO! I'VE BEEN SUBJECTED TO SOME CLICHÉ FANFICTION!" I grabbed my head as if trying to keep all the information from spilling out.
Oh! Hello there. You probably have no idea what's going on here, do you? Well then let me explain… I should introduce myself first. I'm Amelia Dickinson. I'm sixteen and I was supposed to be attending Universal Studies Academy in the United Kingdom for my junior and senior year, but something weird happened. Let me start from the beginning…
It was raining when I arrived. It was extremely calming. The person who was supposed to escort me to the school was the student council president. I was looking for someone who was wearing the same uniform I was, but I guess he saw me first. I felt and hand tap on my shoulder and I turned around. He had blonde hair that was, as I like to call it, meshy. It was spiky and a borderline of messy and neat. His eyes were really bright, so it was easy for me to tell they were green.
"Are you Amelia Dickinson?" He asked me with a smile and a thick British accent.
I smiled and replied shyly "Y-yeah that's me."
"I'm Arthur Kirkland, Student Council President. It's a pleasure to meet you."
We started walking towards the main doors.
"It's nice to meet you too." I said while thinking what else to say to start up a normal conversation.
"So you're from the states, eh?"
I nodded.
"You'll be the second student we have from there."
I gave him a surprised look.
"What? Only two?" He nodded.
He opened an umbrella he had hiding in his coat pocket, when we stepped outside. I stepped closer to him to try and stay under the umbrella, since I didn't have one.
"You'd think there'd be more."
"Not really…we're surprised that the other student got accepted, since he's such a git."
I smirked at his British slang before realizing…
"Wait, so you think Americans are stupid or something?"
He blushed.
"N-no it's just that…He was the only American we had and since he was so stupid, we figured that…" He trailed off.
Since we were in Britain, they drive on opposite side of the road. I was kind of shocked when he opened the car door for me; I wasn't used to being treated as such. I whispered a meek thank you, but I'm not sure he heard me. He slid into the driver's seat.
It was silent all the way to the school. By then it had stopped raining thankfully.
"This is Universal Studies." He said, putting his arms up like the school was some grand palace.
It might as well have been. It was huge and prestigious, but I'd never seen a boarding school before so I wouldn't know.
It's huge." I said.
"Eh, you get used to it. It'll be small once you get to know it." He replied as we walked to the main office. "Elizabeth will show you to the Girls' dorms." He said opening the doors to the main office.
Talking to what appeared to be the secretary was this girl with light brown hair. It was almost like cream really. She had green eyes as well. Her most distinguishing feature was the small flower in her hair.
"Elizabeth!" Arthur called to her. She turned around.
"Oh! Hey Arthur. Is this the new student?" She asked gesturing to me.
"Yeah, could you show her to the dormitories?"
"Of course."
He gave me a pat on the back.
"I'll see you around, alright?"
I nodded and then he left.
"Well as you already heard, I'm Elizabeth. Elizabeth Hedervary."
"I'm Amelia Dickinson." I smiled.
"You're from America, right?"
"Yeah."
She took a step closer and held both my hands in hers.
"I'm from Hungary."
"I've never met anyone from Eastern Europe." I said quietly.
"Well then I'm the first." She said with a grin.
"Now, come along. I'll show you where the dorms are and help you around."
She started tugging on my hand gently in some random direction. I still didn't know the place yet, so it was random to me. As we walked down the hallways, I started to realize how familiar Arthur and Elizabeth looked to me. Their names…I'd heard them somewhere before. I looked around me as we passed people.
"They all look familiar." Echoed in my head.
Before I could comprehend what was happening. I fainted.
When I woke up…Something was different. I opened my eyes and saw Elizabeth, but she…seemed a little more colored. The ceiling was odd too.
"Oh thank god, Amelia!" She said with a relieved groan.
"I was so worried when you just suddenly passed out!"
She gave me a big hug when I sat up. I looked around and noticed I was in the nurse's office. However there was no nurse. It looked like there was a staff member sitting in the corner. He got up and walked over to a counter and pulled out a light. We went through this little process to see if I was alright, which irritated me. What bothered me the most was the fact that I passed out.
"I don't pass out. I never have in my entire life and never will." I said with assurance.
"Well you did Amelia."
She looked like she was in thought for a moment. She looked to the staff member and asked him.
"Austria, how can we be sure she hasn't suffered any amnesia, if we hardly know her?" She said with worry.
"Austria…did she just call him Austria?" My face twisted with confusion.
This 'Austria' person had glasses and black hair that was messily combed back.
"Do you remember her name?" I looked at him with embarrassment, unsure if he was talking to me. I gestured to myself with my head.
"Y-you mean me?" I asked meekly.
Elizabeth responded
"Yeah, do you remember my name, Amelia?"
"Elizabeth."
She laughed like it was the funniest joke in the world.
"W-what's so funny?" I asked.
"T-that's not the name I told you." She giggled.
"I don't know who told you that part of my name, but I told you It's Hungary."
I looked at her like she was crazy.
"This is Universal Studies Academy and You're Elizabeth Hedervary."
She laughed again.
"No, Amelia. I told you, everyone calls me Hungary, Elizabeth is just my documented name. And This is World Academy W."
"That's impossible, you can't really be Hungary!" I said in an unintentional condescending manner.
She shook her head lightly at me.
"It's true. This is the one and only World Academy W."
I looked at her with horrified expression while realizing everything was REAL
"B-but wait! If you're telling the truth…" I started using my hands to motion at some non-existent diagram before me.
"And you're really who you say you are, and I'm really where you say I am." I paused.
"T-then that means….OH NO! I'VE BEEN SUBJECTED TO SOME CLICHÉ FANFICTION!" I grabbed my head as if trying to keep all the information from spilling out. That's how I got here.
She gave me a startled look.
"Amelia, you really don't seem to be okay." She said worried. "
She appears to be delusional." Austria said, which made me stop my actions.
"N-no I'm fine, I'm just joking." I said, sitting back down and waving my hand in a dismissing manner.
"Alright then." Austria said before turning to Hungary.
"I'm going back to the staff lounge, you know where to go if anything happens again."
"Alright." She said, waving as he left. I stared down at my hands, thinking over a million things. "Why do my hands look this way?"
" I have to be dreaming, There's no other possibility, I must be dreaming or in a coma."I looked at Elizabeth.
"B-but…if this is a dream or a coma…then why is everything… so…so clear?"
It didn't make any sense to me. Here I am at World Academy W with Hungary, the Hungary I knew from the anime Hetalia and yet…none of this is a dream. We got up and walked out of the nurse's office.
"H-hey Hungary?" I asked uncertain.
"Yeah Amelia?" She replied as we turned the corner down another hall.
"How did I get here?"
"You came by taxi, remember?"
I nodded, although that was a lie.
"So you're the only person I know so far…" I trailed off.
"Well I did greet you at the gate, so I think I'm the only person you've met so far." She said.
We walked out side of the building, only to see another, smaller building ahead of us.
"These are the girls' dorms. I'll help you unpack like I promised, m'kay?" She said skipping towards the dorms.
I sighed and followed after. This was completely crazy. A thought came to my head while we were walking, and I looked up to the sky.
"If this is World Academy W, then I'm in Gakuen Hetalia…but Gakuen Hetalia is a dating sim, isn't it?" While Hungary and I unpacked, we had girl talk. Hungary told me about her love troubles with a student named Prussia and the staff member we saw earlier named Austria. I thought it was weird that Hungary and Austria had such a large age gap, but they are meant for each other. Prussia however took me by surprise. I didn't think she'd actually have any affairs with him! I thought it was just fan-based dreams! She told me about the students, which some of which I already knew. She went on for awhile, which I was thankful for, I was too nervous to tell her anything about myself, but as fate wouldn't have that.
"Oh…I'm sorry Amelia, I've been going on and on about myself and the school. I-I haven't even asked you anything." She said guiltily.
I froze and shook my head.
"T-that's fine Hungary, R-really."
"Nonsense, we're friends, so I need to get to know you better!" She said with a smile.
We finished unpacking what was the important stuff or what I regarded as important.
She dragged me over to the bed where we sat down and then she asked,
"So, what's with all the books?"
"I like reading a lot" I said quietly, laying down in the half made bed.
She looked over at the shelf where we placed all my books and manga.
"You might want to join the Manga Research Club. It seems like you'd like it there."
I shook my head.
"I'd rather be in the orchestra, even though I like marching more."
She looked at me with a confused look.
"Marching? Like parades?"
I suddenly used the hand under me to push my weight up and my other hand went into the air as I exclaimed.
"NO! NOT like parade! I HATE parade music!"
She chuckled lightly.
"You seem to find me amusing, like everyone else." I said, blushing.
"You are amusing. You're so quiet and shy, but you shift gears so quickly at random times."
I smirked.
"Once you get to know me well, those times don't become so random."
We both smiled.
"Sorry to tell you, we don't have an orchestra or marching band."
I sunk into the bed a bit.
"B-but I love music, so much~"
She frowned.
"Well Austria tried to get the club approved, but not enough people went and signed up, so it was dropped."
I sighed.
"There goes my extracurricular."
"Why not join art? You seem to be really creative."
I shook my head.
"That's not something I enjoy."
"Why not?"
"I got an F- in art class because the teacher and I didn't agree on my work."
She chuckled at my blank expression.
"It's almost curfew, so I got to go to my room." She said while getting up.
"See you tomorrow." I said with a smile. She smiled back and left soundlessly.
I sighed, laying back in bed. I looked up at the ceiling and thought about how everyone else would be when I met them.
"What if I'm not liked by anyone? Are they going to think I'm crazy or weird? What if I wake up tomorrow and everything's back to normal? What if this turns out to be like those fan fictions I've read?"
I tensed up. I sat up and began to strip out of my clothes so I could sleep.
"Let's just hope it doesn't turn out like some fan fictions." I thought to all the fan-based stories I've read where whoever the main character is get's into trouble. I was too tired to continue my worried thoughts and I soon drifted off into sleep.
That night I dreamt about my favorite Gakuen Hetalia fan fiction, Biscuits and Macoroni. When I woke up the next morning, it was close to class time…but I was in no hurry. I looked at the remaining boxes and smiled. I got up to get dressed kind of slowly, because I was still dazed.
"Oh no. I forgot to unpack my school supplies." I said monotonously before snickering to myself.
"Looks like I'm going to be late."
I realized later, that it would have been a better idea to be ready on time when everyone was still on there way to class, so I could get some directions. The place was HUGE!(imagine an Irish accent with that sentence, because that's how I pictured it lol) I looked down at the paper in my hand and looked back up at the halls.
"This is too confusing." I thought to myself, looking at a couple of the classroom doors.
I jumped up slightly as a familiar voice yelled at me.
"Hey! What are you doing outside of class?" It was thickly coated with a British accent.
I could feel my eye twitch as I slowly turned around to face the Blonde-haired douche bag.
"I-I'm lost." I said quietly.
His face softened.
"Well I can help you get to class, miss…?" He trailed off.
I handed him the slip with my class written on it.
"I'm Amelia Dickinson. A new student." I smiled.
He took the paper and looked at it.
"This is on the other side of the school actually, it might take us awhile to get there." He said, handing me the slip and stepping towards the hallway ahead of us.
I followed quickly.
"Okay, maybe he doesn't have a stick shoved that far up his ass." I thought to myself relieved.
"My name is England. Student Council President." He said sternly.
On the way to my class, He pointed out certain doors that lead to things like the Cafeteria, the art room, etc.
"Well this is your first class." He said turning to me, while gesturing to the door.
"Thanks a lot, I don't think I would've been able to find it without you." I smiled, turning to open the door.
"Wait a moment." He said.
I turned around and was met with a small slip. I took it and looked at while he spoke.
"Detention this afternoon for being late."
He left. I looked down at the slip and I frowned. "Okay He doesn't have a stick shoved up his ass…He has a spiked baseball bat lodged up his ass beyond removal!"
After class, I managed to find Elizabeth while I was wandering the halls. She noticed my gloomy aura and asked.
"Are you okay? You were late this morning."
I had a grim look on my face.
"I met a gay-fag troll with a large spiked baseball bat shoved up his ass beyond removal."
Maybe I was overreacting, but it was my first day and I've never served a detention, so I'm not pleased. She gave me a confused look and asked with a strained voice.
"Who?"
I replied in an odd tone.
"Thy name is England."
She laughed.
"What did he do that has you so angry?"
I growled out loudly
"He gave me a detention! A detention! On my first day!"
I shredded up the paper, squished it into a ball and threw it away in the next trash can we passed.
"I guess you're not going to serve?"
"Hell, no." I said incredulously. I stopped at my next class and waved by to her.
"Hey I'll meet you at lunch, alright?" She said. I smiled and nodded.
However I may not make it to lunch. Inside my next class, the only seat available was next to the one and only Russia. I was really nervous, since I couldn't tell if he'd be a good person or bad. He made me feel really insignificant though. I mean for Christ's sake he's six foot and I'm five foot two! God must love my misery, because the teacher had us pair up for partner assignments, and of course my partner was Russia.
"I'm Russia, you're new here, da?" He said in his child-like voice.
I smiled and relaxed a bit. He can't be all bad…however I shouldn't count my blessings or it might end up like earlier with England.
"I'm Amelia." I said.
"You're from America aren't you?" He asked.
"Yeah…"
I couldn't help but notice the fact that everyone kept asking me about my country origins.
"Oh, I feel bad for you. It must be horrible, da."
"W-what makes you say that?" I asked afraid of what ever response I would get.
"You seem smart, da but Americans aren't smart, so it must be lonely being with such unintelligent people." He smiled.
"I'm guessing people don't like the other American student here?"
His smile widened.
"He's an nuisance to the school. I can't wait 'til the day he dies, da."
My head fell a bit and a small smile crept onto my face.
"That's Russia for you."
It was actually quite pleasant working with him for the rest of class. He was nice despite his inner cruelty.
When the bell rang for lunch, I got ready to meet Elizabeth. I saw her in the hall and waved at her, but a large hand fell on my shoulder.
"Oh there you are, da. Come eat lunch with me, I want to introduce you to some friends."
It wasn't an invitation. He took me by the hand and rather forcefully pulled me in the direction of the cafeteria. I looked at Hungary and she carried a look of worry. I felt bad for not being able to eat with her, and bad for worrying her. So to help put her at ease, I smiled and gave a thumbs up. I thought Russia was going to introduce me to Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia. So when he introduced me to the Allied-Forces, I thought I was going to die.
"Hey! I'd like you guys to meet a friend of mine, da."
He pulled me in front of him and put his hand on my shoulder.
"This is Amelia, the transfer student." I blushed profusely while looking at the four before me. God must've been having a lot of fun up there, because I can't think of any other reason he'd put me through this hell.
"But if this is hell…than why am I so happy and excited?"
