Alstroemeria

Chapter 15

Big thanks to @Kiwikween for helping me with this book's flow and letting me run ideas past her. YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT HELP!

-Marzi

The first girl--the one who shouted "You!"--lunged at you. You flinched, but impact was never received. Instead the second girl--the one who asked if you were 'brother's' friend--was holding her by the elbows. The second girl, still smiling, pulled the first into her very comfortable chest, caging her in with her arms.

"It's nice to meet you! Im Ukraine, this is Belarus-"

"Не кажыце ёй маё імя, чорт вазьмі!" The first--or Belarus--interrupted, thrashing about.

[Belarusian: Don't tell her my name, dammit]

"--we're Russia's sisters!"

"Oh." You were dumbfounded. A girl lunged at you and Ukraine's acting like its all normal? Really? You blue screened. "Im..Belvisida, nice to meet you.."

"Belvisida? One of brother's old colonies, right?" Ukraine said. ...Colonies? Pardon? You didn't know anything about this, should you? Are they sure they have the right Belvisida?

"...I..Maybe?" You were unsure.

"Well. We'll be going now!" Ukraine pushed Belarus away from you. "Go get dressed, сестра."

[Ukrainian: Sister]

Right, the lockers are in alphabetical order. Her last name must have started with A or a letter before L. Ukraine walked towards the front as well, leaving you to your own devices. You continued to sit as the lockers filled with girls, Hungary and Belgium both came in, said hi, and left you to go to their lockers.

Finally the bell rang and girls began to file out of the locker room, once out you all clumped in the gymnasium, waiting for the coach to say something.

"Well? Leave, bell rang, next class." He took a bite of a twinkie, and turned walking aimlessly around.

As students filed out you strayed from the pack, heading left and sliding down against a wall. That was stressful, too many people, you were crushed between everyone. Standing up you remembered next class. Science. You walked, with no real destination, hoping you'd somehow stumble on it. As you turned another corner you came face to face with a burnt door with ashes on the ground and yellow caution tape strung haphazardly around it. Was it...duck taped to the walls? Looking above to door you saw a plaque with the words 'Science Lab' on it.

"Oh! Are you a student?" A man with curly hair walked up to you, startling you a bit. "I'm Professor Suk. I'm the science teacher! Earlier this morning I blew up the lab, we won't be having science class anytime soon! Treat this as a break period, go to your dorm or somthin'. You know, you're the fifteenth student I've told today..." He continued to ramble on, his voice kind of high pitched and squeaky.

"Okay! See ya later, alligator!" He handed you a lollipop. Really? This school had some colorful staff, huh?

"Thank you...I suppose." You took the lollipop and headed off in the direction you came from. You vaguely remembered how to get to the entrance, maybe you'd sit outside for a bit. Fresh air would be nice.

As you walked outside you took a deep breath. Scanning the area you saw some kids--including Sealand--playing around in the grass. Elsewhere there were some students in a tutoring session. You saw Prussia, Denmark, and America hanging out, throwing an american football around. How many countries had Science this period?

Walking toward and uninhabited area of the lawn, you sat under a tall oak tree. Putting your bag down (again, sorry I didn't mention it, but you almost always have a bag.) you leaned back against the tree.

'Ring ring....ring ring..'

You heard a soft ringing, taking your phone from your bag you looked at the caller id. No name. Answering it you heard your grandfather's voice.

"Hed, y/n!" He was cheerful and slightly childish, his voice holding a slight russian accent.

"Grandfather- What? Why didn't I have your number saved? I could have sworn-" He cut you off.

"New phone! Got drunk and smashed the other on a wall. It's really nice, except this girl named Siri is trapped inside it." Typical Grandfather Levirasnia. This is the fifth phone, and it was a nokia! You thought he for sure wouldn't break that one.

"Oh. Hed, Granpai." (sounds like senpai and grandpapa mixed and I can't bring myself to change it)

[Belvisidan: Grandfather/Granddad]

"So, I'm about to get on a plane-"

"What!?" A plane, really? Where?

"Yes! I'm gonna come see my little barushnia!"

[Old Belvisidan/Levirasnian: Baby/Daughter]

"Now?"

"I'll be there tomorrow!"

"Why so sudden, I mean-"

"We must talk, barushnia." His happy go lucky tone disappeared. He was serious. For the first time since you were born. He was serious.

"...About what?" It scared you, what was the occasion? Is he going to die? Is he married? Does he have an illegitimate son named Pedro?

"Your Origin."

WOOOO I'm excited to start incorporating more of Belvisi's history!
