Alaska pov

I, wake up? Huh... OH THE TRANKS! HAHA! I'm gonna be like the...other... kids..... who am I kidding? I'll never be like them! Yellow eyes, dark blue skin and hair with yellow tips, half Russian half Afghan, my voice is funny, far too tall for my age, alcoholic, too smart for other kids, I'm the only kid who can't sleep without tranks, I can't even trust my dad with all my secrets! WHY MUST I BE THIS WAY! GOD! WHAT DID I DO?! Get ahold of yourself Alaska.
I dig into my hair and pull out chicken!
Alaska:"Oh look at you! You're starting to look just like your mother... although I don't fully remember what she looks like..."
I sigh and put chicken on my head as I walk out to see it's morning, and boy is this morning weird...
Dad is currently yelling at his hair- or more so the black and spotted bunny in his hair, her name is Artemis! and she's an asshole! The way she looks reminds me of fluffy and bun bun! I miss those two... I miss blooder and couch too, as well as-
America:" Looks like the Trank worked! How are you feeling!"
Alaska:"As much of an outcast as I usually do, playing roulette with death sounds pretty fun when you're not living with your BIOLOGICAL family and your only friends are your brother who's basically the same age as you and the 3rd outcast that you stole his hoodie from because you're desperately in love with him plus the fact I always feel out of place with how smart I am and how weird I am..."
America:"Alaska.... I know what it feels like to be an outcast and I'm sorry you can't see your biolo- wait what was that about a stolen hoodie-"
I go red
Alaska:"ugh nothing! Anyways, what's for breakfast?"
He blinks but shakes it off
America:"pancakes"
Alaska:"I swear to the Soviet bloodline if you put it in the damn oven-"
America:"no I've been burning and under cooking them"
Alaska:"СУКА?! ПРИГОТОВИТЬ БЛИНЧИК НЕ ТАК СЛОЖНО!(BITCH?! IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO MAKE A PANCAKE!)"
America:"Alaska, don't call me that. Also you know I can't cook"
Alaska:"Move out the way, I got this"
He steps aside and I make Russian pancakes, one of the few foods I can make. I remember this recipe from the cookbook my biological father owns, although I'm gonna have to switch the vodka to milk.
My dad watches in awe as I make these pancakes pretty quickly.
America:"Did Florida or my mom teach you how to make those "
Alaska:"You don't need to know that information "
He sighs, here comes the question
America:"Alaska as much as I respect your privacy, why do you hide everything about you from me"
Alaska:"I'M GETTING TIRED OF THAT DAMN QUESTION! I GET IT FROM EVERYONE! This is the 5th fucking time from YOU!"

America pov

Alaska is holding a very familiar look on her face... I saw that face from Russia all the time.
Anger, annoyance, but most importantly...hatred
America:"Alaska please... just tell me why, that's all I want to know..."
Alaska:"I don't trust you enough, never will. You won't understand... you hate my biological father, and that'll be something I'll never like about you. Always remember, the title and respect of 'dad' is a fucking privilege, sometimes it seems you see me the same as my other ' siblings ' another title privilege... I'm not like them. They see you as they're true father, some of them are your actual children, I on the other hand just see you as a parental guardian. Because, that's what you are, those other children who don't share your blood aren't your children. Are you getting my point, Wyoming is the only member of this house that I see as true family."
Everything she said hurt...
That's when I noticed the other states were down here.
New Mexico:"How could you say that Alaska?! We see you as our sister"
Alaska:"Ah yes, because siblings judge a FUCKING CHILD for speaking Russian and being aggressive because THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. Wyoming told me all the bullshit you said before America told you guys off"
She's back to using my name..
She grabbed a plate of pancakes and Wyoming did too, they then ran off to some part of the house...
Massachusetts:"I could talk to her if you want! I am the best with therapy!"
America:"no... I asked her why she doesn't trust me again, I made her mad. Just eat the pancakes she made and get ready for school"
I said packaging all the gluten free baked goods.
I'll never ask that question again as I finally have the answer.... and probably one of her deepest secrets that she felt needed to be spilled in order to be left alone about the topic, pushed her limits.
Wonder how long it'll take for her to calm down

3 whole days later

Alaska pov

Wyoming:"Alazka.... Are you ztill mad at him? I underztand he puzhed your limitz but you know he didn't mean any harm right?"
I just sigh
Alaska:"No... I'm just scared to apologize"
Wyoming:" Juzt like how he was zcared?"
Alaska:"I'm pretty he still is scared.... He always struggled with verbal apologies so he used actions, but I guess he wasn't able to apo-"
Rhode island:" Who's 'he' ? Someone we know?"
Alaska:" 1. Fuck off 2. Get the fuck out of here and 3. He's someone dad and I know..."
I give him a deadly glare which he flinches at, my siblings know when they should be scared... angering me is one of them.
Once he runs off Wyoming goes to help me calm down and come up with a way to apologize....

2 hours later

I was sneaking around when I saw my prey...
Jumping off Florida, I landed on dad giving him a hug, not a word said, but he knew what I meant.
America:"I forgive you Alaska... now I gotta go"
I nod as I let go and he grabs all the baked goods and walks off.

America pov

Thank mom and grandpa that Alaska forgives me- shit, the kids using my mom and grandpa as a replacement is getting to me! I groan as I walk out the door, carefully putting the baked goods in the back.
It's 9am, hopefully he's there... he never specified what time he was coming, just the day...
I sigh and hope as I drive there...
YES! HE'S HERE! Along with Cevvin... ugh, and 4k Kathy and her younger brother camera Sam or cam Sam for short, Sam has a positive opinion on Russia and so does Kathy. If I remember correctly they might've been dating for awhile, I'm guessing the break up might've been calm and mutual as Kathy would hang out with him along with the school's band and one of my cheer members, violent Violet is what we called her. She was, well, violent- but was kind at times and was in an open relationship with Cuba, Sam, and aggressive Abby, Abby was the violent and aggressive member of the band. She was especially aggressive to Dearing Derek, how do I know this? Violet. Honestly I'm pretty sure they're all still in an open relationship from what the cheer group chat is talking about, violet is pregnant apparently and so is Abby, honestly in congratulations for both.
I walk over to Tuvalu with some of the baked goods.
America:"hey! I see that that guy is preventing people from going inside, want some of these gluten free cookies or bread? All home made!"
Tuvalu turned his head around and gave me a confused look before turning his whole body around.
Tuvalu:"Do I know you?"
I shake my head.
America:"I'm America or the USA as the people from my father's land call me!"
He nods.
Tuvalu:"So what was that about gluten free cookies?"
I chuckled a bit, this isn't really funny but I gotta keep up this act.
America:"I have Thin Mints,Trefoils,Tagalongs, Samoas, Adventurefuls ,Raspberry, Smores Cookies, Chocolate Caramel chocolate chip cookies, Lemonade, Caramel, Lemon, Toffee, Do-si-dos, Lemon-Ups"
Tuvalu:"You made gluten free girl scout cookies."
America:" I made gluten free girl scout cookies-"
Tuvalu:"I've always wanted to try the thin mints, people rave about them all the time!"
I nodded and went into my car and grabbed the box.
Walking back over to him and giving him one, he looked a little unsure at first so I brought out the EpiPen I brought with me.
America:"I can't have gluten either"
He smiled and happily took one!
Tuvalu:"Now I understand the hype! These are amazing!"
I smile and nod.
America:"I can bake for ya if you want!"
Tuvalu grinned
Tuvalu:" yes please! You baking tastes amazing "
America:"I learnt from the best, my mother!"
We had a good laugh!
What I said is true though, my mom did teach me how to bake, my dad on the other hand... he didn't teach me shit! All he did was condone the well deserved war between me and him.
We chat for a bit as he tries all the flavors, us somehow ignoring Cevvin.
He ended up giving me his number and said we were "friends". I honestly do not care for this guy but gotta make him think I care to off him.
Eventually I leave, making sure he has all the goods before I drive home. I have an hour to spare so I study best.

I saw dad's home and ran to hug him, but when I saw an EpiPen... he doesn't need that...
Once we let go I run to my room

9/1

Dad has an EpiPen for some reason, last time I checked the only thing that should be injected into him is sleepy time or nap time shots, but last time last time I checked he said he has some Gene that makes it so he doesn't need sleepy time or nap time shots. Strange... back to watching dad again I guess...
