Maria's P.O.V
Third day of school.
"Hey, everyone! Francis is back!" Gilbert, one of my classmates, calls out to all of us from outside the classroom.
Francis is from France, and ever since the terrorist attacks that occured in his hometown, he stayed there for a while longer to attend some of his relatives and friends' funerals. He was also injured during the attacks.
Everyone else start to surround him, asking about the tragic attacks in Paris. I'm one of the very few who didn't go asking him about, because I'm pretty sure he doesn't wanna talk about it.
"Guys, can't you see that he doesn't want to talk about it?" I tell them. Lizzie nods in agreement. She's sitting beside me today.
"Merci, Maria." Francis thanks me in Français and sits on my left. He has a few bandages.
"You okay?" I ask him. "I know how it feels to lose people you love. Those terrorists are just plain heartless."
(Maria has lots of relatives that died, she just never talks about it.)
The first time I've heard about the attacks going on in Paris, it honestly affected me and I nearly cried. Paris is one of my favorite cities in the world, and I've never been there yet, though I've been DYING to. It was my dream destination ever since I was little, but now I'm afraid.
But you know what, it's not only Paris that's going through a bad condition that day (Friday the 13th). Let's all pray for Beirut, Japan, Baghdad, and Mexico too! Kiku just departed to Japan to visit his injured family and friends, and so did Kuya Alejandro. Two days ago, he left to Mexico.
But let's not talk about that now. It's making me really depressed.
Oh and about what happened yesterday with Alfred breaking me out of detention? Arthur made some kind of 'magic potion' that will make the faculty forget about what happened that day. I have absolutely no idea how he made it.

Achariya (Cambodia in the Hetalia world)'s P.O.V
As I walk pass the lockers on the hallway, I see no one around and all I can ever hear are my footsteps echoing, and... wait, what? Sobs?
Somewhere behind the lockers, I find someone tall, his back facing at me, and has blonde hair.
"Francis? Is that you?"
He turns to me and I see his face, his eyes puffy from crying too much. He's seen me cry a lot of times, but this is one of the very rare times that I'VE seen HIM crying.
"A-Achariya," He wipes the tears of his eyes. "Pardzone moi, I didn't want you to see me like this."
"I didn't want to see you like this either," My eyebrows are furrowed with worry. "Is this about the attacks on Paris? I cried too, you know. That was the first European city I've ever visited in my whole life," I say. "Say, wanna go somewhere later so we can forget about everything that happened?"
"Thank you, Riya..."
After those times of being always there for me whenever I cried or needed someone, I need to do something in return. I used to like LIKE him a little bit a few years ago, but then after my breakup with Kasem, a Thai, I swore to myself that I'll never fall in love with anyone again. Kasem is in love with Lien, my ex-best friend who is a Vietnamese, and I bet Francis is in love with Michelle too. I mean, just look at how sweet, kind, and caring she is, unlike me, who is quite anti-social.

Maya Lisa's P.O.V
"Goddammit..." I mumble as I stare at two people and do nothing but poke my lunch multiple times with my fork.
"Maya, why aren't you eating your lunch?" Maria asks me. "I bet it's getting cold... you should eat it now or you'll starve."
"She's jealous~ Am I right, Maya?" Kirana winks at me.
"No!" I quickly deny it. "Jealous of what, anyway?"
"Of caterpillar-eyebrows and his pigtails girlfriend?" Rachel, a Singaporean and is my cousin, raises her eyebrow at me.
I stand up and start to rant, "She flirts with every guy for f**k's sake! I mean, I don't get jealous when Arthur is with Francis, Alfred, or whoever, as long as he isn't with that good-for-nothing little princess! Like, why is he even dating that girl anyway?!"
"Um, no offense Maya, but Michelle is really nice, she never even did anything to you. You're just jealous that she's dating Arthur, right?" Maria smirks at me.
I sigh and sit back down, "Okay, yeah, I admit. But I am, a little bit."
"I knew it!"
"Hey, has anyone seen big sister Achi anywhere?" Kina asks. She's from Laos and is like a little sister to Achariya, though they're only second-degree cousins. We call her Kiki sometimes.
"Francis isn't here either, so she must be with him." Lien says.
"Freakin' Michelle..." I ignore everyone and continue to glare at them. I grasped onto my fork so hard that it might break, even though it's made of silver. "She should know that I met him before she did."

We've been dismissed and I say goodbye to my friends as we parted ways. As I walk to the bus stop that's kinda far from here if I'm gonna walk, I still look pissed as always. I barely smile ever since I found out Arthur and Michelle are dating.
But... yeah, he's better off with her. While I'm Muslim, they're both Christian. Everyone thinks they look cute too. And they look really happy when they're together. They have been together for three years now.
"Alisa!" I hear someone call after me, so I turn behind. The person running towards me is... Arthur...?
"What do you want?" I say, irritated. "Aren't you supposed to be with-"
"I broke up with Michelle."
Now that was... unexpected.
I stood froze, my mouth completely shut, forming a straight line, and my eyes widened with shock.
I open my mouth a little bit, "...So...? Why should I care?"
"Because I know you've being waiting for this moment." He says. "Maya Lisa, I lo-"
...
...
I burst out into laughter.
"I'm serious." He adds.
...
...
...
...
I HIT HIS FACE WITH MY BAGPACK AND RUN AWAY. "KIRANAAA!! MARIAAAAA!! WAIT UPPPP!!!"
He's just kidding.... he's just kidding! I know he's just kidding! H-he can't fool me!
