Arthur is a normal chap trying to make rent by holding down a job at the local floral shop. Great.
To make matters worse, he works across from the busy Cafe.
How does that make the situation worse you ask? Well, my friend, Arthur asked for a position at that cafe and was turned down for a younger, American boy who was apparently "not a stick in the mud", as the boss had blatantly stated.
That's not so bad, you say? Well, let me spell it out for you. Arthur doesn't WANT to be in America he HAS to be in America. He had transferred that semester for a better education in pediatrics (more about that will come in the story).
So? You ask again. You're one tough nut to crack, aren't ya? So Arthur basically has no friends, works in a shitty floral shop and gets shitty pay as opposed to the busy cafe workers' income and he has to pay rent for his shitty apartment AND even after all that he has barely enough money for personal needs such as toilet paper or food.
This is the life of a broke.

Going the Distance ✔️
"Is it still a no?" He asked, his voice was deep yet soft at the same time. "Hard and cold." "Oh, come on, Lou! Live a little. I can be your tour guide and show you around town. It'll be fun!" "And why not after school or in the weekend?" "Because there's no thrill to it. Please, Louisa." He asked again. I sighed. "What's in it for me, Liam?" He chuckled. "You get to spend time with me! Liam Gilbert, your tour guide, the guy you come to when you don't want to study!" "Let's make a deal," I smirked, "if I ditch with you then you have to study with me." He looked unsure and I knew he didn't want to. I shrugged. "Okay, I'll see you at home." He moaned. "Fine, but you have to ditch me right now." My face lit up like a Christmas tree and I was truly surprised. "Okay, let's go." * There are a few rules when it comes to ditching class. Rule number one: Don't tell anyone. The teachers, your siblings, your parents. Rule number two: If anybody asks where you were, always say you were sick and rule number three is to have fun. Louisa Shepard didn't know what she was getting into when she agreed to ditch school with Liam Gilbert, her host brother. She had the perfect attendance record, she studied in her spare time and she never missed a class a day in her life. Until she went to America in exchange and met Liam, the guy she could not get away from. Liam did not care about school. He ditched most days, slept in, never studied for anything and his attendance record wasn't exactly great. When Liam finds out that Louisa, the British good girl, was the perfect student, he wanted to have some fun. But, there comes a price. If Liam wanted Louisa to ditch school then he would have to study with her. Louisa had no idea what she was in for when ditching with Liam and some days, it goes further than just ditching class. Louisa and Liam are just going to have to go the distance if they want to keep up with each other. All Rights Reserved 2017 © Sarahxox_16Complete

Settling Slowly
2015 rolled in with a bang, and it did not have the grace to gift me with a social life that everyone in a one hundred year radius would be jealous of or that is even just the talk of the town. Instead I got myself into a complicated relationship which wasn't much talked about, a relationship that I didn't get into is talked about all the time and university is around the figurative corner. That is where you can factor in people I suppose I should call 'fans', the fascination that comes in with cutlery, pots, pans and other formerly boring things. But let us not forget that my parents are finally getting married and Mum can't shop for lace without me wanting to kill her, add in a dose of sleepless nights, invigorating kisses - which have nothing to do with the sleepless nights and a lot to do with nightmares - Harriet not knowing the meaning of the words "you're done" and Ice Ice Baby is still a thing. We're all growing up (except Dad who will still make inappropriate jokes at every inappropriate moment, some to do with what cannot be done when you're wearing a plaster cast) and holidays are being planned though some are less holiday and more a mad dash to find somewhere to live out in the big wide world without our parents. Life might be moving on, but I still go to McDonald's late at night with my friends. Some things at least don't change. Sequel to: Falling Fast CompleteComplete

Teachers USUK
Arthur Kirkland is the music teacher at Hetalia high. He loves his students, and they love him. They're great kids, and they have him to thank. He's a great role model, and he's extremely supportive. He's sort of like a second dad to his pupils! Alfred F. Jones is the gym teacher as well as the football coach at this same high school. He always ignores Arthur (or is a jerk if the situation calls for some interaction), and the Brit is tired of it. Despite his past feelings for the American, our friend Arthur resolves to return the mean quality threefold, but only if the American is rude. He is a gentleman, after all. Nevertheless, things are remotely peaceful, and these two live happy lives as they ignore each other's existence. But when the football team and cheerleaders make a few mistakes, their peaceful worlds collide and the bottled up hatred is released. How this will play out, and if Alfred will finally understand what was really said all those years ago, is uncertain. Let's just hope they don't kill each other or any students in the process.Complete
