PART V:
Lovino merely stared in horror at the hand lingering forward to snip the curl. Granted, most people wouldn't be bothered by such an action, but... Well, lets just say the curl was an entirely different concept on its own. The Italian, thougts clouded by his own paranoia, reached up subconsciously to place a protective hand over the curl, wincing with a flight whimper as he managed to tuck it semi-neatly behind his ear. "S-See...? It's not a problem! So... B-back off with those!" he snarled, biting his lip slightly as he removed his hand.
Vash's hand fell hesitantly as well, though he continued to eye the Italian with a scrutinizing glare of suspicion. Something was up with this newcomer... Something he wasn't particularly fond of. And then there was that
curl... Why, the Swiss student wanted nothing more than to pluck it off. 'Twas no more than the bane of an OCD individual, after all. However, for the time being, he placed the scissors on top of a desk and walked back towards the front of the classroom to read off the rest of the dry-toned rules.
Lovino let forth an exhale of ultimate relief, heart rate plummeting significantly. That could have ended frightfully horrid... All the same, a thought struck him suddenly, causing his nails to dig further into the side of his plastic chair. If this was standard procedure, then what if Feliciano had been...? His younger brother had been placed into a different class- a math class of some sort- for his first period, so what if his curl had been...? Oh, if some sorry SOB had the nerve to pluck Feliciano's curl, he would-
"Class dismissed," Vash announced after a bell had rung. He added "And good riddance..." under his breath as students exited the classroom. Oh, how he hated being the class rep...
Lovino, on the other hand, was the first one out, trying to get as far away from Vash, Gilbert, and the rest of those maniacs. He had an elective class next- Home Edu, to be exact. Why was he taking such a stupid class? It had been the only elective to have free space open. That also explained why he had been stuck in woodshop...
Silently, he passed down the hallway, catching sight of his brother and snatching him by the shoulder. "Feli! You're alive! And... Your curl...?" Indeed, the curl still stood erect from the younger Italian's head. Thank God...
"Ve, that class was fun! But our class rep was only awake for about five minutes... But we talked about kitties and fun stuff like that! And now we have Home Edu together! Lets raise a baby togeth-"
Lovino moved to strangle his brother, though found himself being dragged through the crowd by someone. A short girl grabbed onto his shirt, leading him and his brother into their Home class. "Alright, you foreigners, you're only given five minutes between class, so get a move on! I heard you talking about being in HomeEd, so since we're in the same class, I thought I'd guide you two the rest of the way. I'm Giselle, from the Island of Seychelles- don't forget it. Come on!" The girl entered the classroom and took her seat, beckoning for the Utalians to do the same.
"Oi, Ludwig~!" Feliciano chirped happily, taking his seat beside the familiar blonde German and smiling. "How have you been? What about Gilbert and the dogs? What're their names again? Brownie, Splitz, and Asterick?"
Lovino frowned at his brother's enthusiasitic ways about seeing Ludwig again, though snickered to himself at Ludwig's apparent dread. Hah, served the &@$!@%# right. Something about those two German brothers just rubbed him the wrong way.
This class, at least, seemed to pass in relative peace. Though, all the same, he couldn't help but dread the fact that they would be taking care of fake babies soon... Ugh.
Luckily, the bell rang for lunch an hour afterwards.
The lunch chapter is next, and that should be really long.
