~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You closed your locker with a slam.
This couldn’t be happening, not after all they had meant to you……
Your best ‘friends’ had been going around and spreading rumors about you since your Freshman year….. You had heard that it was them, but you didn’t want to believe it was true.
Sure they were in popular …. But you didn’t believe that they were hanging out with the nerdy girl just to dig up ‘secrets’ about her….. Guess you were wrong.
Leaning you aching head against your locker, you let a single tear slip down your cheek. You made a vow from here on out, you would never trust anyone again…..Ever…..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Le skip to homeroom~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You doodled mindlessly in your notebook, hoping that bell would ring soon….. The sooner it rang, the sooner you could get out of this hellhole and to your beloved sketchbook……
Yep. You were an artist. You loved to sketch, paint, and just plain out draw. You loved the fact that you could draw anything you wanted, and no one could stop you…..
Oh wait, hold that thought, the teacher was speaking.
“Students I would like for you to meet Antonio Carriedo. He is an exchange student here from Spain.”
You momentarily glanced up, completely unfazed by the Spainard. It wasn’t like you hadn’t had exchange students in your school before. In fact, you already had a French man, and a…..’AWESOME Prussian’ (Whatever that was)…… So you were entirely unimpressed by the green eyed teen.
“Hola~! My name is Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, but you can call me Toni! Si, I moved here from Spain, but I speak English very well, so you don’t have to try speaking Spanish to me… Though I wouldn’t mind it.” He winked, and made over half the room swoon.
“Antonio you can pick any open seat.”
You stiffened. You didn’t want him, a flat out flirt, sitting next to you! And since you had two people seated at a table……. You were an open target. But he surely wouldn’t pick you! Right?!
“Hola chica~!” Oh stupid life.
You cautiously glanced up to meet happy green orbs, which reflected your own worried (Eye color) ones.
“Hi…..”
“Can I sit next to you…..What’s your name?”
“(Name)…… And no…..” He looked surprised for a minute, before smiling again.
“Awww how cute, you’re a tsundere~!”
“Eh?.....I am not!”
“Aww your face is turning red~! SO CUTE!!” You stared at him in shock. Who was this guy?! He was a psycho!
And the psycho apparently knew had to take advantage of silence. Sliding into the chair next to you, he flashed the same beautiful….I mean annoying, smile.
This would be the longest school year ever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time skip, brought to you by Spai- PRUSSIA! I AM AWESOME! (Wait…I didn’t write that…Prussia!! Stop messing with the story!!) (I enhanced ze story!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rinnng
The school bell sounded, signaling your freedom. Bolting up, you made a beeline for the door, not wanting to be next to the handsome Spaniard any longer. OH *BEEP*. He was brainwashing you!! YOU FREAKING CALLED HIM HANDSOME. NOT COOL.
“Oy (Name)! W-wait up!!” ‘No, no, no, no, no, no, run faster (Name)!’ You yelled at yourself. You had to get away before he could catch you! You had to be as swift as a coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon!....... AND you really needed to stop watching Disney movies.
You ran past multiple lockers, until you came to a deserted hallway which no one came too.... Well no one except you.
“Who gave you permission to be here?” Oh and your and ex friends.
“Lula….. Y-you can’t tell me where to go.” You shook slightly with anger, trying not to punch your best enemies.
“Oh yes I can.” The brunette flounced over to you, and stared you straight in the eye.
“I suggest you leave. You’re not pretty enough to be with US.”
“I was always pretty enough before.”
“HA! No, we were just joking with you…. I can’t believe you BELIEVED us!” You had enough of their B**chiness, and were about ready to punch her.
“B*TCH!!!!” You screamed, you hair falling over your eyes making you seem evil.
“How dare you…… HOW DARE YOU, YOU LITTLE FREAK!!!” She grabbed your chin, and pushed it up so you were staring straight at her.
*WHAM*
You fell to the ground in a undignified manner, holding your soon to be black eye.
“That’s what you get geeky freak.” She snapped her fingers, and the two other girls who had been standing silently up to this point surrounded you, now laughing haughtily.
“Do what you want, then meet me for lunch.” The brown haired leader started to walk away but stopped.
“Oh and (name)?...... Don’t tell anyone about this. “ You bit your lip, and gave a weak nod, all the fire you had 20 seconds ago gone. Lula walked away leaving you with Sarah and Sarita….. The other two traitors.
“Now what should we do to her Sarah?”
“Eh not much today…. I don’t want to break a nail.” You gulped nervously, knowing the strength of the two girls….. With your physical weakness….. You could be demolished easily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Antonio’s pov
‘Where was she?’ Antonio searched franticly for you. You had to be close right?! But he looked everywhere!!!
“Toni!” Antonio turned to see his best amigos Francis and Gilbert. The three’s history went back a long time, and so when they found out that they would be terrorizing the same school together, they were overjoyed.
“Amigos~!” Antonio embraced them, his worries forgotten for half a second.
“Nice to see you again, but I must go!” Antonio started to run off, but Francis hugged him tightly.
“Ohonhonhon, did my friend meet a lady~?
“KESESESE! Who is it?! Is she awesome?!”
“Can we get a tape of you two having sex~?”
“Si, si!.... But I kinda lost her, and I must find her!”
“We’ll help!~!”
“JA! And when we find her, we’ll throw you both in a locker and lock the door for sex time!!” Gilbert and Francis gave each other high fives. Normally Antonio would have smiled, but today he just wanted to find (Name).
“By the way while why the rush?”
“She forgot her sketchbook….. Plus I just want to be with her……”
“…..So you don’t have a sex date?” Francis sounded disappointed.
“But why would you be in such a hurry to give it back? Let her come to talk to the awesome, but not as awesome as me, you!” Antonio thrust the forgotten sketchbook into their hands, and resumed scanning the hallway with his worried eyes.
“Look at the pages, THAT’S why!!!” The two started flipping though the book eagerly.
“She’s a beautiful artist~…… Wait what is that?!” He pointed at a rather grotesque picture of a huge voodoo doll reaching for an unsuspecting boy.
“THAT’S SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!” Gilbert hopped up and down, looking more eagerly at the pictures now.
“Non non, my beautiful innocent eyes!” Francis turned away shielding his eyes.
“We need to get this back to her!! So that she can draw my awesomeness like one of Francis’s French girls!” Francis turned to Gilbert, now smiling.
“Oui! Me too! Let’s go!” The man was cheered by the thought of being nude.
“The sooner we find her, the sooner Antonio can have AWESOME SEX TIME!!!”
“What?!”
“Kesesese!”
“Ohonhonhon~!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You limped to the bathroom, huddled in your hoodie. Pushing open the door with the little strength you had, you ungracefully made your way over to the bathroom’s large mirror. After making sure that you were the only one in the bathroom, you slowly pulled back your hoodie’s hood and gasped. Your bad eye was slowly turning a gruesome color, and you had sickening spots of crimson dotting your (Skin color) face….. You looked like you had just escaped a horror movie.
“Wha-what?....” You shook violently, your wobbly hand reached out to touch your reflection. It seemed almost surreal to see you like this….. You normally had a shy exterior, well actually, that was only if your buttons weren’t pushed. And all of today; Yeah you were quite ticked. However, the point was, if anyone got past your shy exterior, they would find a girl with fiery tongue, who you would think have the fists to match. But you were psychically weak, and your enemies knew that.
Your legs started to give out on you, and without much thought, you fell down to your knees. Gently letting your hands caress your face, you wondered now how you make it through high school life…. You had little time to dwell on the thought however, because right then, voices sounded outside the door. You froze in shock, and looked around franticly for a place to hide; you couldn’t possibly be seen like this!!! You decided not to go hide in the bathrooms stalls though, because every time that seems to backfire…. So where did you hide?.... In the cabinet under the sink. It was a tight squeeze, but it was worth it. Frozen, you listened as the door opened, and people entered the bathroom. Wait a second; make that one person; who had a very lovely singing voice. A bit manly perhaps but still beautiful. You could hear the footsteps come closer to you now, which meant she was now right in front of mirror.
“Ohonhonhon~ I’m so beautiful~!”
Wait a second….. That was….. No! It couldn’t be!!! Could it?! Against your better judgment, you opened the cabinet door a tiniest bit, and indeed, even with the smallest glance, that was definitely Francis Bonnefroy! Wait a second if he was here…..Did you go into the wrong bathroom?! Your mind was a swirl on panic, this couldn’t be happening! What if you got caught?! Wait….. Francis is talking.
“Well enough admiring my beauty, it’s time to search for (Name).” (Name)?! As in YOU?! NO NO NO NO!!!! That pushed you over the edge, and you started squirming trying to get you in a safer position…. However your knee hit the cabinet door and Francis was immediately alerted. You gasped, and pulled your hood over your face as the cabinet door creaked open revealing a nude Frenchman. No just joking, I wanted to make sure you were still paying attention; he’s not nude, just curious.
“My dear what are you doing down here? You’re too beautiful to be hiding!” Well obviously he hadn’t seen your face right now. And he wasn’t going too.
“I like tight spaces…...” You both knew that was a complete lie, but you still had a once of pride, and would like to keep that intact.
“Well I will not argue with that, I can think of some tight spaces I like as well~ However you may be wondering why I’m here in the girl’s bathroom….” Oh good, you’re in the right restroom! You were so relived; you sent a smile Francis’s way, who smiled back, and offered a hand to help you out of the cramped quarters. You unknowingly took it, and stepped out from your safety zone. Once standing, Francis continued to speak explaining the situation.
“I am looking for a girl named (Name). She has skin about like yours, and…. Wait a second…. May I see your face please?” You started panicking again.
“No way!” You hopped away from him, a slight shake wracking your body.
“What’s the matter?... I don’t understand.” Your spitfire tongue was back, and was ready to tell him off. However your legs liked the Frenchman, and gave out from being in his glory to long. (Okay. I DID NOT write that. PRUSSIA!)
You made out a sound of protest, as you fell down to your knees, clenching your fist’s as you realized as your last once of pride had been stripped. Francis let out a gasp, and rushed to your side.
“Are you alright my dear?!” He really didn’t expect you to answer that did he? As he was in the process of helping your weak self up, the door flew open revealing yet another male. HALLELUJAH! I think its raining men!!
“Kesesese Francis, you have been in here a long time have you- Oh hello frauline! I’m the AWESOME GILBERT-“
“(NAME)!” You looked up just in time to see arms thrown around you, knocking both of you against the counter. You squirmed in shock, trying to see your attacker. However all your saw was curly brown hair- Wait a second….. ANTOINO?!
“(Name)!” Antonio pulled back to look at you, but gasped. You were still in a shock from the hug, so you just scanned his green eyes looking for an answer.
“Chica. Your face…..” You let out a gasp, as you realized that your hood fell off in the hug exposing your bruised face. You feebly tried to get out of the arms that were still wrapped protectively around your middle.
“Let me go!!” You were pushed farther into Antonio chest, muffling any noise you made. You squirmed more, until you felt something hot and wet soaking you’re though your jacket. Tears…. Antonio’s tears! You immediately stopped squirming, and felt the urge to embrace him further. Your arms pulled him closer, surprising the both of you, and earning some odd noises from the two bystanders…. Sadly your knees decided to hate on you, and yes, you guessed it; gave out. You made another noise of pain, upon more contact with the floor.
“Oh chica!” Antonio pulled you up again, and sat you on the bathroom counter. He pulled out a rag from seemingly mid-air, and turned on the water. He gave a nod to Francis and Gilbert, who advanced towards you, antibiotics and other things in hand.
“Where did you get this stuff?!” You couldn’t help but ask, full of shock that someone actually cared to tend to you.
“Well, we have been in the same unawesome situation as you….. Hit by unawesome frying pans. We took a first aid course so you don’t have to worry…. Plus you have hot guys doing this, so even if you die you die awesomely!” Your eyes widened, and you tried to get away. However Antonio’s arms shot out trapping you on the counter.
“No. You need to be treated. By the way….What happened to you chica?..... Surely you weren’t hit by a frying pan?” Your head snapped up, your good eye wide.
“Nothing you need to know!”
“Chica no need to get defensive.”
“I’M NOT GETTING DEFENSIVE!!!”
“So she’s a tsundere like Arthur~? How cute!” Francis started cooing, to which you smacked him on the head. The two others chuckled briefly, before both turning serious.
“Chica you really should tell us what happened.”
“Ja!”
“How do you say no in German….. Gilbert right?”
“Ja, I’m the AWESOME Gilbert!!! And nein.”
“Well then….. NEIN.” The three looked at each other before sighing, and went back to the task of cleaning you up. Or rather Antonio, since he didn’t want any other boy touching your face; Even if it was his best friends. Although you couldn’t help but notice, even though he spoke soothing words to you his face was one of scorn. What didn’t you know, is that he was ready to kill someone for hurting the girl he had already fallen for…. And was ready to go extreme measures to kill that person.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You now had a trifling problem. The Bad touch trio, otherwise known as Antonio, Gilbert, and Francis, were hanging around you like they had never seen a girl before! Thankfully they only treated you as friends…. Well except for Gilbert and Antonio. Gilbert had smacked your bottom, and you and Antonio had gave him a good punching too….. And Antonio was just….. Antonio. AND THIS WAS JUST THE FIRST DAY TOGETHER.
“Oh chica, here’s your sketchbook!” You turned, your scowl turned to a bright grin.
“ANTONIO YOU FOUND IT!!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS I COULD JUST KISS YOU!!!” You gratefully took the sketchbook from Antonio, and hugged it.
“You know I wouldn’t mind that chica~” He dramatically puckered his lips, and leaned forward. You flushed red, and turned away. However he grabbed your wrist, and pulled you back….. You weren’t really sure what to do, and didn’t like that. However he seemed to sense that.
“I’ll teach you.” Was all he whispered. He leaned forward again when “AIYAH!!” Antoino leaped forward, almost in your arms. He twirled around to see the culprit, and saw it was none other than your best enemy Lula. She looked at Antonio rather lustfully, and simply said “Dat ass~”
You bit your lip, for it didn’t take a genius to figure out what she did. Antonio simply stared at her, and then coughed awkwardly. “Well, I shall see you later then (Name).”
You almost screamed when Antonio walked away, who probably thought that Lula was your best friend, and wanted ‘girl time’. HA.
“So…. (Name) Getting close to my boyfriend huh?” HER boyfriend?! NO WAY.
“Answer me.”
“Not exactly…. He helped me after you gave my face a makeover.” Yes, your sassiude was back.
“Well stay away from him….. Or else.” Her voice held an icy tone.
“Don’t worry I will.” She was surprised.
“You will?..... Heh, good girl. Don’t worry, I don’t think he’ll miss your ugliness too much.” She started to flounce away, but suddenly she stopped and turned.
“By the way…. Nice eyepatch.” You sighed, and touched the eyepatch that now concealed your bruised eye. You had to kill Antonio for letting you borrow that thing….. Why he had it, I have no idea. All he told you was it was from his pirating days…. You didn’t want to know. You also didn’t want to know why Gilbert had make up that was your skin tone, or how Francis knew how to apply makeup over scratches… You were just thankful you looked pretty normal; Even if you didn’t show it.
However….. How were you going to keep the green eyed Spaniard away from you for the rest of the school year?..... Eh it didn’t matter. You’d never get attached to HIM….. Even if you did almost kiss him. NEVER.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5 months later
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You woke up to the bright sunlight pouring though the window of the Carriedo’s guestroom window. Smiling you hopped out of bed, and dressed quickly. Maybe you had beaten Antonio out of bed today….. Grabbing your pillow, you slowly snuck out into the hall, and into Antonio’s room.
“EN GARDE!!!!” Antonio’s eyes popped open just in time to see you fly at him, pillow in hand.
“Ahh!! I surrender!!!!”
“TOO BAD!!!!”
“You’re like a pirate!!!!” Antonio laughed, starting to hit you with his tomato pillow.
“Well you DID lend me the eyepatch! And you’re some gentleman hitting a lady!” You laughed, as you continued hitting each other with pillows.
“You’re not a lady, your nothing but a sister!”
“Sister?! Pfftt!” Antonio suddenly stopped, and flopped over on top of your body.
“What are you doing jerk?!”
“I’m done….. You know, you’re a lot of fun.”
“I know.” He smirked, and ruffled your hair.
“I never knew someone like you could be so amazing! Well actually I did….. But still your still so tsundere!”
“No I’m not!!! Besides, what’s with your weird attachment to that word?..... Tsundere?.....”
“I think it suits you chica~!”
“It does not….. Now you need to hurry up and get dressed before Gil and Francy pants come barging in like last week.” You both groaned at remembrance of the past week. The guestroom door had been locked, so you had spent the night in Antonio’s room. The morning following, you had gotten changed in the bathroom adjoining Antonio’s room, while Antonio got changed in his room. Long story short, Gilbert and Francis had barged in the bedroom, and upon hearing their voices you thought it was safe to come out, and pretty much you saw Antonio naked. Thankfully your status as best friends stayed intact.
“Okay, be out in a minute chica! And PLEASE don’t try to help my mom cook this morning!!!!”
“But my cooking’s good-“
“No. It’s not. If you want to cook, DRAW yourself cooking!”
“Fine. I will then.” You stuck your tongue out at Antonio, and walked out of the room giggling. You had a feeling today would be a good day.
~~~~~~~~~~
You walked down the school hallway alone, your sketch book under your arm. It was breaktime, and you felt like drawing. Plopping down on a window sill, you opened up your sketchbook to work on the drawing you had almost completed. It was of you and Antonio, smiling and hugging each other, Francis and Gilbert taking odd pictures in the background, just because they were themselves. You held out the picture at arms length, and admired your handiwork. Sighing, you thought about how different this was from your typical style, of gore, and grim. At first you had drawn that way because you depressed, but soon it just BECAME you. It was a part of you. This picture however….. Was so…. Happy….. Which was the way he made you feel….. You…. You completely trusted Antonio with your life now. Heck, he was cute, and you had a huge crush.
“Well, well, well, what’s this?” You head snapped up, only to see Lula and her goons snatch your sketchbook from your hand.
“Hey!! Give that back!!”
“Oh so you like Antonio huh? Too bad b*tch he’s all mine.”
“I’m the jerk?! No!!! NO YOU ARE. NO!!!!” You yelled, as Lula tore up the picture you had worked so hard to make.
“Oops, there goes your love life! But now there is something I need to take care of…… I told you to stay away from Antonio, but you didn’t listen. Well It’s payback time.”
“Before you beat me up, I have something to say……”
“What?”
“You’re a bit*h-ady bi*ch, and very unawesome, unlike my awesomeness, which is awesome.”
“That’s it. You’re going to wish you never met me.”
“Too late, already wished that.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
“AGH!” You screamed again, as you were kicked roughly in the side.
“I couldn’t hear you~.” Sarah yanked on your hair, so your face was now looking at Lula.
“I-I-I…..AGH!!!” Your hand tried to fly to your face, after Lula started unmercifully punching your face.
“PLEASE STOP!!!!!!”
“Aww how cute~ She said please. But no.” You screamed as she once again hit you in the stomach, making more blood appear though your clothes. You had no idea how long they had been hurting you, but you knew was the most painful encounter you had ever had.
“Lula don’t you think we should stop soon? She’s gonna die if you keep this up.”
“Hmm true. Just a couple things more. One more kick in the side,” Her high heeled boots made yet another tear in your side.
“And a step on the hand.” The heels on the shoes seemingly pierced your delicate hands, making your close your eyes in pain.
“And-“
“What do you think you’re doing?” A cold voice cut though the air, making a sudden chill settle in the atmosphere.
“A-Antonio! This girl attacked me, and I was protecting myself! SAVE ME PLEASE!” Antonio found you?..... Please no. You heard the sound of heavy footsteps nearing your nearly unconscious body.
“(Name). I’ll be you tomato in shining armor.” A gentle voice reached your ear.
“Now. Who hurt her first.” You heard the sound of knuckles crack, and opened your eyes just in time to see Antonio stare at your bullies with a menacing glare…. With a soft smile, you let the darkness of unconsciousness slip over you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Antonio she will be fine.”
“Y-You hear that chica?! You’ll be fine!!! Just PLEASE wake up!!”
“Antonio, she needs rest and time. I need to tend to her wounds. Please, go back to your classes, she’ll be fine.”
“Will she have to go to the hospital?”
“Just for a checkup. She’ll heal fine, I assure you.”
“P-please wake up (Name)…. Please……..” You had to encourage him, you needed to tell him you okay…..
“I-I’m….. F-f-fine t-tomato jerk…..”
“CHICA!-“
“DON’T JUMP ON THE PATIENT. Back to class, I told you she’d be fine…..” You smiled softly again, and went back to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You opened your (Eye color) eyes slowly, taking in the white walls of the nurse’s office. Thank goodness they had a separating screen, separating you from the rest of the office….. You felt you would die if someone saw you like this-
“Chica!” Oops you forgot about Antonio.
“Don’t look at me!!! I-I…. know I look awful!” You felt a slight pressure on your cheek. Did Antonio just-
“(Name)….. No matter what you think you look like on the outside, you’re so beautiful and sweet on the inside! That’s why…..”
“I like you…..”
“No no, (Name). I was going to say I LOVE you.” You chuckled in spite of the situation.
“I mean to say….. I-I love you too Antonio you jerk.” You watched his green eyes light up.
“Really (Name)?!” You nodded weakly.
“Ole ole ole!!!!” Antonio started chanting his own version of yay.
“Pull it together….. And….. I…..Actually trust you……And love…. Ugh….. Darn this headache.”
“I know a way to make it go away.”
“What?..... Mph!” You were cut off by Antonio smashing his lips down on your chapped lips. You weakly smiled into the kiss, and closed your eyes. Your tomato in shining armor had come through for you, and you still had a feeling, today could still be the best day of your life.
“MR CARRIEDO STOP KISSING MISS (LAST NAME) THIS INSTANT, YOU’LL KILL HER.” Or maybe not.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Extended ending
A couple weeks later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You smiled at your boyfriend Antonio, as you sat at lunch. It had been a couple weeks since the incident, and while you still had some bruises, you were alive, for which you were thankful…... Oh and those jerks were expelled, which you were also thankful for.
“Hey (Name), look what I finished drawing for you~!” Antonio pulled out a drawing, and showed it to you. You gasped, and smiled at the picture. It was almost exactly like the drawing like you had drawn all those weeks ago. You took the picture gently and admired it. It was beautiful…… Minus France was nude in the background.
Speaking of which…..
Francis and Gilbert stood at a distance, watching as you tackled Antonio down on the bench in a passionate kiss.
“Told you that they would get together before the end of the school year; THE AWESOME ME IS ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!”
“Oh well, I was wrong~!”
“Now do the your part of the bet!”
“Alright~!” Francis threw off the long cape he wore, revealing a can can outfit, complete with fistnet tights and heels. Hopping up onto a table, he nodded to Gilbert, who winked back, grabbing out his video camera. Oh this was going to be good.

“Can I sit next to you…..What’s your name?”
“(Name)…… And no…..” He looked surprised for a minute, before smiling again.
“Awww how cute, you’re a tsundere~!”
“Eh?.....I am not!”
“Aww your face is turning red~! SO CUTE!!” You stared at him in shock. Who was this guy?! He was a psycho!
And the psycho apparently knew had to take advantage of silence. Sliding into the chair next to you, he flashed the same beautiful….I mean annoying, smile.
This would be the longest school year ever.

The school bell sounded, signaling your freedom. Bolting up, you made a beeline for the door, not wanting to be next to the handsome Spaniard any longer. OH *BEEP*. He was brainwashing you!! YOU FREAKING CALLED HIM HANDSOME. NOT COOL.
“Oy (Name)! W-wait up!!” ‘No, no, no, no, no, no, run faster (Name)!’ You yelled at yourself. You had to get away before he could catch you! You had to be as swift as a coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon!....... AND you really needed to stop watching Disney movies.
You ran past multiple lockers, until you came to a deserted hallway which no one came too.... Well no one except you.
“Who gave you permission to be here?” Oh and your and ex friends.
“Lula….. Y-you can’t tell me where to go.” You shook slightly with anger, trying not to punch your best enemies.
“Oh yes I can.” The brunette flounced over to you, and stared you straight in the eye.
“I suggest you leave. You’re not pretty enough to be with US.”
“I was always pretty enough before.”
“HA! No, we were just joking with you…. I can’t believe you BELIEVED us!” You had enough of their B**chiness, and were about ready to punch her.
“B*TCH!!!!” You screamed, you hair falling over your eyes making you seem evil.
“How dare you…… HOW DARE YOU, YOU LITTLE FREAK!!!” She grabbed your chin, and pushed it up so you were staring straight at her.
*WHAM*
You fell to the ground in a undignified manner, holding your soon to be black eye.
“That’s what you get geeky freak.” She snapped her fingers, and the two other girls who had been standing silently up to this point surrounded you, now laughing haughtily.
“Do what you want, then meet me for lunch.” The brown haired leader started to walk away but stopped.
“Oh and (name)?...... Don’t tell anyone about this. “ You bit your lip, and gave a weak nod, all the fire you had 20 seconds ago gone. Lula walked away leaving you with Sarah and Sarita….. The other two traitors.
“Now what should we do to her Sarah?”
“Eh not much today…. I don’t want to break a nail.” You gulped nervously, knowing the strength of the two girls….. With your physical weakness….. You could be demolished easily.

Antonio’s pov
‘Where was she?’ Antonio searched franticly for you. You had to be close right?! But he looked everywhere!!!
“Toni!” Antonio turned to see his best amigos Francis and Gilbert. The three’s history went back a long time, and so when they found out that they would be terrorizing the same school together, they were overjoyed.
“Amigos~!” Antonio embraced them, his worries forgotten for half a second.
“Nice to see you again, but I must go!” Antonio started to run off, but Francis hugged him tightly.
“Ohonhonhon, did my friend meet a lady~?
“KESESESE! Who is it?! Is she awesome?!”
“Can we get a tape of you two having sex~?”
“Si, si!.... But I kinda lost her, and I must find her!”
“We’ll help!~!”
“JA! And when we find her, we’ll throw you both in a locker and lock the door for sex time!!” Gilbert and Francis gave each other high fives. Normally Antonio would have smiled, but today he just wanted to find (Name).
“By the way while why the rush?”
“She forgot her sketchbook….. Plus I just want to be with her……”
“…..So you don’t have a sex date?” Francis sounded disappointed.
“But why would you be in such a hurry to give it back? Let her come to talk to the awesome, but not as awesome as me, you!” Antonio thrust the forgotten sketchbook into their hands, and resumed scanning the hallway with his worried eyes.
“Look at the pages, THAT’S why!!!” The two started flipping though the book eagerly.
“She’s a beautiful artist~…… Wait what is that?!” He pointed at a rather grotesque picture of a huge voodoo doll reaching for an unsuspecting boy.
“THAT’S SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!” Gilbert hopped up and down, looking more eagerly at the pictures now.
“Non non, my beautiful innocent eyes!” Francis turned away shielding his eyes.
“We need to get this back to her!! So that she can draw my awesomeness like one of Francis’s French girls!” Francis turned to Gilbert, now smiling.
“Oui! Me too! Let’s go!” The man was cheered by the thought of being nude.
“The sooner we find her, the sooner Antonio can have AWESOME SEX TIME!!!”
“What?!”
“Kesesese!”
“Ohonhonhon~!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You limped to the bathroom, huddled in your hoodie. Pushing open the door with the little strength you had, you ungracefully made your way over to the bathroom’s large mirror. After making sure that you were the only one in the bathroom, you slowly pulled back your hoodie’s hood and gasped. Your bad eye was slowly turning a gruesome color, and you had sickening spots of crimson dotting your (Skin color) face….. You looked like you had just escaped a horror movie.
“Wha-what?....” You shook violently, your wobbly hand reached out to touch your reflection. It seemed almost surreal to see you like this….. You normally had a shy exterior, well actually, that was only if your buttons weren’t pushed. And all of today; Yeah you were quite ticked. However, the point was, if anyone got past your shy exterior, they would find a girl with fiery tongue, who you would think have the fists to match. But you were psychically weak, and your enemies knew that.
Your legs started to give out on you, and without much thought, you fell down to your knees. Gently letting your hands caress your face, you wondered now how you make it through high school life…. You had little time to dwell on the thought however, because right then, voices sounded outside the door. You froze in shock, and looked around franticly for a place to hide; you couldn’t possibly be seen like this!!! You decided not to go hide in the bathrooms stalls though, because every time that seems to backfire…. So where did you hide?.... In the cabinet under the sink. It was a tight squeeze, but it was worth it. Frozen, you listened as the door opened, and people entered the bathroom. Wait a second; make that one person; who had a very lovely singing voice. A bit manly perhaps but still beautiful. You could hear the footsteps come closer to you now, which meant she was now right in front of mirror.
“Ohonhonhon~ I’m so beautiful~!”
Wait a second….. That was….. No! It couldn’t be!!! Could it?! Against your better judgment, you opened the cabinet door a tiniest bit, and indeed, even with the smallest glance, that was definitely Francis Bonnefroy! Wait a second if he was here…..Did you go into the wrong bathroom?! Your mind was a swirl on panic, this couldn’t be happening! What if you got caught?! Wait….. Francis is talking.
“Well enough admiring my beauty, it’s time to search for (Name).” (Name)?! As in YOU?! NO NO NO NO!!!! That pushed you over the edge, and you started squirming trying to get you in a safer position…. However your knee hit the cabinet door and Francis was immediately alerted. You gasped, and pulled your hood over your face as the cabinet door creaked open revealing a nude Frenchman. No just joking, I wanted to make sure you were still paying attention; he’s not nude, just curious.
“My dear what are you doing down here? You’re too beautiful to be hiding!” Well obviously he hadn’t seen your face right now. And he wasn’t going too.
“I like tight spaces…...” You both knew that was a complete lie, but you still had a once of pride, and would like to keep that intact.
“Well I will not argue with that, I can think of some tight spaces I like as well~ However you may be wondering why I’m here in the girl’s bathroom….” Oh good, you’re in the right restroom! You were so relived; you sent a smile Francis’s way, who smiled back, and offered a hand to help you out of the cramped quarters. You unknowingly took it, and stepped out from your safety zone. Once standing, Francis continued to speak explaining the situation.
“I am looking for a girl named (Name). She has skin about like yours, and…. Wait a second…. May I see your face please?” You started panicking again.
“No way!” You hopped away from him, a slight shake wracking your body.
“What’s the matter?... I don’t understand.” Your spitfire tongue was back, and was ready to tell him off. However your legs liked the Frenchman, and gave out from being in his glory to long. (Okay. I DID NOT write that. PRUSSIA!)
You made out a sound of protest, as you fell down to your knees, clenching your fist’s as you realized as your last once of pride had been stripped. Francis let out a gasp, and rushed to your side.
“Are you alright my dear?!” He really didn’t expect you to answer that did he? As he was in the process of helping your weak self up, the door flew open revealing yet another male. HALLELUJAH! I think its raining men!!
“Kesesese Francis, you have been in here a long time have you- Oh hello frauline! I’m the AWESOME GILBERT-“
“(NAME)!” You looked up just in time to see arms thrown around you, knocking both of you against the counter. You squirmed in shock, trying to see your attacker. However all your saw was curly brown hair- Wait a second….. ANTOINO?!
“(Name)!” Antonio pulled back to look at you, but gasped. You were still in a shock from the hug, so you just scanned his green eyes looking for an answer.
“Chica. Your face…..” You let out a gasp, as you realized that your hood fell off in the hug exposing your bruised face. You feebly tried to get out of the arms that were still wrapped protectively around your middle.
“Let me go!!” You were pushed farther into Antonio chest, muffling any noise you made. You squirmed more, until you felt something hot and wet soaking you’re though your jacket. Tears…. Antonio’s tears! You immediately stopped squirming, and felt the urge to embrace him further. Your arms pulled him closer, surprising the both of you, and earning some odd noises from the two bystanders…. Sadly your knees decided to hate on you, and yes, you guessed it; gave out. You made another noise of pain, upon more contact with the floor.
“Oh chica!” Antonio pulled you up again, and sat you on the bathroom counter. He pulled out a rag from seemingly mid-air, and turned on the water. He gave a nod to Francis and Gilbert, who advanced towards you, antibiotics and other things in hand.
“Where did you get this stuff?!” You couldn’t help but ask, full of shock that someone actually cared to tend to you.
“Well, we have been in the same unawesome situation as you….. Hit by unawesome frying pans. We took a first aid course so you don’t have to worry…. Plus you have hot guys doing this, so even if you die you die awesomely!” Your eyes widened, and you tried to get away. However Antonio’s arms shot out trapping you on the counter.
“No. You need to be treated. By the way….What happened to you chica?..... Surely you weren’t hit by a frying pan?” Your head snapped up, your good eye wide.
“Nothing you need to know!”
“Chica no need to get defensive.”
“I’M NOT GETTING DEFENSIVE!!!”
“So she’s a tsundere like Arthur~? How cute!” Francis started cooing, to which you smacked him on the head. The two others chuckled briefly, before both turning serious.
“Chica you really should tell us what happened.”
“Ja!”
“How do you say no in German….. Gilbert right?”
“Ja, I’m the AWESOME Gilbert!!! And nein.”
“Well then….. NEIN.” The three looked at each other before sighing, and went back to the task of cleaning you up. Or rather Antonio, since he didn’t want any other boy touching your face; Even if it was his best friends. Although you couldn’t help but notice, even though he spoke soothing words to you his face was one of scorn. What didn’t you know, is that he was ready to kill someone for hurting the girl he had already fallen for…. And was ready to go extreme measures to kill that person.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You now had a trifling problem. The Bad touch trio, otherwise known as Antonio, Gilbert, and Francis, were hanging around you like they had never seen a girl before! Thankfully they only treated you as friends…. Well except for Gilbert and Antonio. Gilbert had smacked your bottom, and you and Antonio had gave him a good punching too….. And Antonio was just….. Antonio. AND THIS WAS JUST THE FIRST DAY TOGETHER.
“Oh chica, here’s your sketchbook!” You turned, your scowl turned to a bright grin.
“ANTONIO YOU FOUND IT!!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS I COULD JUST KISS YOU!!!” You gratefully took the sketchbook from Antonio, and hugged it.
“You know I wouldn’t mind that chica~” He dramatically puckered his lips, and leaned forward. You flushed red, and turned away. However he grabbed your wrist, and pulled you back….. You weren’t really sure what to do, and didn’t like that. However he seemed to sense that.
“I’ll teach you.” Was all he whispered. He leaned forward again when “AIYAH!!” Antoino leaped forward, almost in your arms. He twirled around to see the culprit, and saw it was none other than your best enemy Lula. She looked at Antonio rather lustfully, and simply said “Dat ass~”
You bit your lip, for it didn’t take a genius to figure out what she did. Antonio simply stared at her, and then coughed awkwardly. “Well, I shall see you later then (Name).”
You almost screamed when Antonio walked away, who probably thought that Lula was your best friend, and wanted ‘girl time’. HA.
“So…. (Name) Getting close to my boyfriend huh?” HER boyfriend?! NO WAY.
“Answer me.”
“Not exactly…. He helped me after you gave my face a makeover.” Yes, your sassiude was back.
“Well stay away from him….. Or else.” Her voice held an icy tone.
“Don’t worry I will.” She was surprised.
“You will?..... Heh, good girl. Don’t worry, I don’t think he’ll miss your ugliness too much.” She started to flounce away, but suddenly she stopped and turned.
“By the way…. Nice eyepatch.” You sighed, and touched the eyepatch that now concealed your bruised eye. You had to kill Antonio for letting you borrow that thing….. Why he had it, I have no idea. All he told you was it was from his pirating days…. You didn’t want to know. You also didn’t want to know why Gilbert had make up that was your skin tone, or how Francis knew how to apply makeup over scratches… You were just thankful you looked pretty normal; Even if you didn’t show it.
However….. How were you going to keep the green eyed Spaniard away from you for the rest of the school year?..... Eh it didn’t matter. You’d never get attached to HIM….. Even if you did almost kiss him. NEVER.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5 months later
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You woke up to the bright sunlight pouring though the window of the Carriedo’s guestroom window. Smiling you hopped out of bed, and dressed quickly. Maybe you had beaten Antonio out of bed today….. Grabbing your pillow, you slowly snuck out into the hall, and into Antonio’s room.
“EN GARDE!!!!” Antonio’s eyes popped open just in time to see you fly at him, pillow in hand.
“Ahh!! I surrender!!!!”
“TOO BAD!!!!”
“You’re like a pirate!!!!” Antonio laughed, starting to hit you with his tomato pillow.
“Well you DID lend me the eyepatch! And you’re some gentleman hitting a lady!” You laughed, as you continued hitting each other with pillows.
“You’re not a lady, your nothing but a sister!”
“Sister?! Pfftt!” Antonio suddenly stopped, and flopped over on top of your body.
“What are you doing jerk?!”
“I’m done….. You know, you’re a lot of fun.”
“I know.” He smirked, and ruffled your hair.
“I never knew someone like you could be so amazing! Well actually I did….. But still your still so tsundere!”
“No I’m not!!! Besides, what’s with your weird attachment to that word?..... Tsundere?.....”
“I think it suits you chica~!”
“It does not….. Now you need to hurry up and get dressed before Gil and Francy pants come barging in like last week.” You both groaned at remembrance of the past week. The guestroom door had been locked, so you had spent the night in Antonio’s room. The morning following, you had gotten changed in the bathroom adjoining Antonio’s room, while Antonio got changed in his room. Long story short, Gilbert and Francis had barged in the bedroom, and upon hearing their voices you thought it was safe to come out, and pretty much you saw Antonio naked. Thankfully your status as best friends stayed intact.
“Okay, be out in a minute chica! And PLEASE don’t try to help my mom cook this morning!!!!”
“But my cooking’s good-“
“No. It’s not. If you want to cook, DRAW yourself cooking!”
“Fine. I will then.” You stuck your tongue out at Antonio, and walked out of the room giggling. You had a feeling today would be a good day.
~~~~~~~~~~
You walked down the school hallway alone, your sketch book under your arm. It was breaktime, and you felt like drawing. Plopping down on a window sill, you opened up your sketchbook to work on the drawing you had almost completed. It was of you and Antonio, smiling and hugging each other, Francis and Gilbert taking odd pictures in the background, just because they were themselves. You held out the picture at arms length, and admired your handiwork. Sighing, you thought about how different this was from your typical style, of gore, and grim. At first you had drawn that way because you depressed, but soon it just BECAME you. It was a part of you. This picture however….. Was so…. Happy….. Which was the way he made you feel….. You…. You completely trusted Antonio with your life now. Heck, he was cute, and you had a huge crush.
“Well, well, well, what’s this?” You head snapped up, only to see Lula and her goons snatch your sketchbook from your hand.
“Hey!! Give that back!!”
“Oh so you like Antonio huh? Too bad b*tch he’s all mine.”
“I’m the jerk?! No!!! NO YOU ARE. NO!!!!” You yelled, as Lula tore up the picture you had worked so hard to make.
“Oops, there goes your love life! But now there is something I need to take care of…… I told you to stay away from Antonio, but you didn’t listen. Well It’s payback time.”
“Before you beat me up, I have something to say……”
“What?”
“You’re a bit*h-ady bi*ch, and very unawesome, unlike my awesomeness, which is awesome.”
“That’s it. You’re going to wish you never met me.”
“Too late, already wished that.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
“AGH!” You screamed again, as you were kicked roughly in the side.
“I couldn’t hear you~.” Sarah yanked on your hair, so your face was now looking at Lula.
“I-I-I…..AGH!!!” Your hand tried to fly to your face, after Lula started unmercifully punching your face.
“PLEASE STOP!!!!!!”
“Aww how cute~ She said please. But no.” You screamed as she once again hit you in the stomach, making more blood appear though your clothes. You had no idea how long they had been hurting you, but you knew was the most painful encounter you had ever had.
“Lula don’t you think we should stop soon? She’s gonna die if you keep this up.”
“Hmm true. Just a couple things more. One more kick in the side,” Her high heeled boots made yet another tear in your side.
“And a step on the hand.” The heels on the shoes seemingly pierced your delicate hands, making your close your eyes in pain.
“And-“
“What do you think you’re doing?” A cold voice cut though the air, making a sudden chill settle in the atmosphere.
“A-Antonio! This girl attacked me, and I was protecting myself! SAVE ME PLEASE!” Antonio found you?..... Please no. You heard the sound of heavy footsteps nearing your nearly unconscious body.
“(Name). I’ll be you tomato in shining armor.” A gentle voice reached your ear.
“Now. Who hurt her first.” You heard the sound of knuckles crack, and opened your eyes just in time to see Antonio stare at your bullies with a menacing glare…. With a soft smile, you let the darkness of unconsciousness slip over you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Antonio she will be fine.”
“Y-You hear that chica?! You’ll be fine!!! Just PLEASE wake up!!”
“Antonio, she needs rest and time. I need to tend to her wounds. Please, go back to your classes, she’ll be fine.”
“Will she have to go to the hospital?”
“Just for a checkup. She’ll heal fine, I assure you.”
“P-please wake up (Name)…. Please……..” You had to encourage him, you needed to tell him you okay…..
“I-I’m….. F-f-fine t-tomato jerk…..”
“CHICA!-“
“DON’T JUMP ON THE PATIENT. Back to class, I told you she’d be fine…..” You smiled softly again, and went back to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You opened your (Eye color) eyes slowly, taking in the white walls of the nurse’s office. Thank goodness they had a separating screen, separating you from the rest of the office….. You felt you would die if someone saw you like this-
“Chica!” Oops you forgot about Antonio.
“Don’t look at me!!! I-I…. know I look awful!” You felt a slight pressure on your cheek. Did Antonio just-
“(Name)….. No matter what you think you look like on the outside, you’re so beautiful and sweet on the inside! That’s why…..”
“I like you…..”
“No no, (Name). I was going to say I LOVE you.” You chuckled in spite of the situation.
“I mean to say….. I-I love you too Antonio you jerk.” You watched his green eyes light up.
“Really (Name)?!” You nodded weakly.
“Ole ole ole!!!!” Antonio started chanting his own version of yay.
“Pull it together….. And….. I…..Actually trust you……And love…. Ugh….. Darn this headache.”
“I know a way to make it go away.”
“What?..... Mph!” You were cut off by Antonio smashing his lips down on your chapped lips. You weakly smiled into the kiss, and closed your eyes. Your tomato in shining armor had come through for you, and you still had a feeling, today could still be the best day of your life.
“MR CARRIEDO STOP KISSING MISS (LAST NAME) THIS INSTANT, YOU’LL KILL HER.” Or maybe not.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Extended ending
A couple weeks later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You smiled at your boyfriend Antonio, as you sat at lunch. It had been a couple weeks since the incident, and while you still had some bruises, you were alive, for which you were thankful…... Oh and those jerks were expelled, which you were also thankful for.
“Hey (Name), look what I finished drawing for you~!” Antonio pulled out a drawing, and showed it to you. You gasped, and smiled at the picture. It was almost exactly like the drawing like you had drawn all those weeks ago. You took the picture gently and admired it. It was beautiful…… Minus France was nude in the background.
Speaking of which…..
Francis and Gilbert stood at a distance, watching as you tackled Antonio down on the bench in a passionate kiss.
“Told you that they would get together before the end of the school year; THE AWESOME ME IS ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!”
“Oh well, I was wrong~!”
“Now do the your part of the bet!”
“Alright~!” Francis threw off the long cape he wore, revealing a can can outfit, complete with fistnet tights and heels. Hopping up onto a table, he nodded to Gilbert, who winked back, grabbing out his video camera. Oh this was going to be good.
