Struck by you [Philippines hetalia fanfic ] HIATUS

chapter 19• SBY

Jessie's POV

I woke up on a hard surface, well my face was on a hard surface but you get what I mean. I've been studying that cook book for hours and I eventually fell asleep face first on the desk. My back was stiff and my face looks like i have gone through a zombie apocalypse plus my book was covered with drool which is my pillow for last night so my face has my own disgusting drools on it. As much as I wanted to sleep more, it was actually the first day of school and school was forcing me to wake my ass up and go through their boring classes. I may be a book worm but that doesn't mean I like school.

The cook book was really hard to understand, I mean how long do you have to wait to flip the pancakes? Which means my studying was a fail, and that I'm not eating breakfast today... I was looking forward to lory's pandesal with cheese today... She makes it the best. Why do we have to take up this challenge anyway!? And why did I even tell those things to Lory... I wont live a day without eating. Is it too late to back down now?...

'Jessie! Stop. You are an independent woman, and you don't need their help. Plus! You are 1,100 years old For Peet's sake!

(A/N: disclaimer: i do not know how old Luzon really is so I just guessed that it is 1100 years old... but Visayas may be younger but here we'll make Visayas older than Luzon in this story)

I sighed and continued on walking to my bathroom at the basement. It's great that I brought my clothes here last night. I mean i don't want to be seen by Lory and Janette like this right?

I sighed. I just wish I can go back to tomorrow, And not accept... but if we don't We'll be expelled. Seeing my 'sisters' get more distant from me makes me feel like someday i'll be left behind and be forgotten.

I don't want that. I'm already regretting my decision right now what more if this is still going on for years. Maybe i was selfish that day, thinking about what I could achieve in that deal. Maybe I wasn't thinking about what would happen to Janette and Lory. Maybe i just want to be independent, or... maybe not. I don't know.

I wasn't in my right mind right now. Maybe, just maybe in the future, I would finally know what i would do in this situation.

Once I was done with all my necessities I got my school bag, provided by the school and left the basement. The stairway from the basement led to our living room and I'm glad that my 'sisters' doesn't usually stay there. I was about to open the door when I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Jessie? You're going already?" Lory said to me as she was walking over to me wearing her uniform and an apron on. I scratched the back of my head.

"You know me, Don't wanna be late on my first day of school!" I said. I turned away from her. Again, before I could open the door she spoke again.

"It seems that your monthly period ended last night." I fumed at this statement. I huffed and turned around to face Lory. I glared at her while she smiled back.

"Finally there's the jessie I know." She said and patted my head. I removed her arm from my hair and continued on glaring at her. I looked down at my feet. Why? Why is she like this?

"Why?" I asked her. She moved her head to the side and looked at me with a bewildered expression. I looked up at her. Tears were weld up in my eyes.

"Why aren't you taking this deal seriously. Why aren't you taking me seriously? Aren't I a worthy opponent?" She shook her head and looked at me seriously.

"Jessie, we may be fighting for our place in this school but... i don't want us to change. Maybe we are in a situation where we'll need to fight for the top, but we don't need to be distant from one another while we're at it. We can still be like, you know, like the old days." She looked at me with so much care that I can still remember our time in the Philippines. I shook my head and giggled. Lory smiled back at me and hugged me.
