Author's POV:

"Hey Alfred, which academy do you think our school is going to be paired up with?" Antonio asked.

Alfred, in turn, shrugged. "I hope it's not that one academy with all the disabled kids. Like no offense, but I don't want to spend my school year with them."

The two alphas went to a mixed academy, mixed being the different signs could go there, and were in their thirteenth year. Alfred had a scholarship to that academy as he showed promise in their sports category, Antonio there for the same reason, but the Spanish alpha was there for soccer department ("Fútbol! Se dise fútbol!") but Alfred was in their real football department. He knew other alphas, omegas, and betas there who were all in for different talents and skills, but that was what the school was for anyway. A school for the gifted.

"Hey don't be so mean Alfred. Ludwig's brother is in that place, remember?" Matthew frowned.

Matthew was Alfred's younger by 7 minutes twin brother, who just so happened to be an omega instead of an alpha.

"And anyways, you shouldn't bash on people because of their disabilities, you don't know how they got them. They could have been born like that or had a traumatic thing happen."

"Geez Matt, I didn't know you cared so much about these people." Alfred rolled his eyes. In all honesty, he did feel bad for them, but it wasn't like he could do anything about it, so he decided to just not care.

"I care because I'm a decent human being, unlike you." Matt stuck his tongue out at his twin and turned back to face the front as their teacher called order.

"Alright everyone," Mr. Rainwater called from the front. "I found the e-mail. Now don't be disappointed if we didn't get paired with a school you wanted, but just try to make the most of the one we got, alright?"

Murmurs erupted in the class as the teacher turned on the screen and pulled up the e-mail.

Attention teachers,
Please inform our students that the academy we have been paired with is the Academy for the Specially Inept. The students must report to that academy every day they can to volunteer. All students must go tomorrow to get their "buddy" assigned, no questions asked. If a student does not show up and has no valid excuse, they will be partnered with someone who hasn't been yet immediately.
Attentively,
Mrs. Vazquez
Principal

Most of the students in the room groaned. Ludwig, the stoic alpha the same year as the twins, had a small smile appear on his lips vaguely.

Alfred frowned. One student beta student he didn't know the name of raised her hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Rainwater, but why are we paired with this school? Is it too late to change?"

"Yes, it is. And we were paired by the district, us as a school cannot change their minds without a good reason why." Mr. Rainwater smiled at the students. "And besides, you may find you'll like it there."

"I doubt it." Mumbled Alfred under his breath as the bell rang, signaling the end of the day.

He gathered his things and started walking towards the dorms. The thing about this academy was that unlike other ones, students coming from different parts of the world lived in the dorms, while local ones could go home. Alfred and Matthew both were originally from Oregon in America, but since the school was in Europe, they had to stay in the dorms. Sorta Harry Potter style but it was divided by Male Beta, Female Beta, Male Omega, Female Omega, Male Alpha, Female Alpha. Six different buildings of dorms for the six types, each one with about 5 floors, 10 dorms in each floor, and each dorm had enough room for two people, meaning there was supposed to be about 600 students in the academy. If you were lucky enough, you got your own dorm and didn't have to share the space with anyone. Alfred was that lucky alpha. Each building had at least 10 people without a roommate, some holding less, and the roommates changed every year so no one knew if they were going to get a roomie or be a lucky loner for the year. This was Alfred's third year in a row being a loner, and was convinced the staff didn't want him to be paired with anyone ever since the incident four years prior.

Alfred sighed as he entered his dorm, throwing the backpack on his bed as he lied down next to it. He looked at the headboard of the bed with a frown. Why, out of all the schools in the place, why that one?!

"Alfred?" Someone called as they knocked on his door.

He cursed as he got up from his bed and walked over to his door. He looked down with a frown at who he thought would be Antonio, but was instead Ludwig. The frown on his face immediately slipped off as he gazed at the other alpha. "Oh hey Ludwig. What's up?"

"I have a favor to ask of you Alfred." The German alpha sighed.

"Shoot bro."

"Don't be rude."

"Huh?"

"Alfred you're generally a nice guy, I know you are, but I also know you aren't very fond of that place. I just ask you be nice to whoever you are paired with. As you may know, my brother resides in that academy, and as such I visit him frequently. I know mostly everyone in that academy, so you can come to me if you need any advice on your partner, but I just ask you don't make them feel lower due to being you. You may be paired with an omega, a beta, maybe even a fellow alpha, but they are all there for different reasons, so don't make an assumption you know why someone's there until you are given their background please."

Alfred stared at the guy in shock and mild offense, but he was also relieved to know the fellow alpha thought he was a nice guy. "Yeah, okay. I will Lud. Thanks for the advice." Alfred nodded.

Ludwig nodded to and walked to the next door. 'He's probably giving this speech to everyone in the building.' Alfred sighed and closed his door again. He made his way over to the bed and picked up the backpack he had recklessly thrown on it earlier. "I should work on my homework."

Arthur looked up as the headmaster of the academy walked into the omega common room, poking his deaf friend Feliciano so he'd know that someone walked into the room.

"Hello students," he spoke as he signed with his hands for the deaf kids. "we got the results of the school we were paired up with today. I have posted it on the school website. Tomorrow there will be students coming to get their buddy assigned. Please be present there."

All the omegas nodded and watched as their beta headmaster walked off, most likely to talk to the other signs.

"That's exciting isn't it? Another school coming here and helping out?" Maeve asked, smiling into thin air. Arthur guided her face so she at least seemed to be looking at Feliciano and himself. He repeated what she said in sign language to Feliciano, who nodded and smiled too. He grabbed the blackett's head and made her nod.

"Where's Lovino?" Maeve asked.

"We're not sure. He said he was going to the bathroom but his blind ass probably ran into something." A new voice made the blind blackett and mute blonde jump and look at the redheaded alpha-in the case of the blind one, where she thought he was-all while Feliciano waved.

"Jesus Alister, give us a warning next time!" Maeve whined. Arthur nodded. Feliciano watched, confused about what they were saying.

'What did she say?' Feliciano asked Arthur. Arthur signed back what Maeve told Alister, which made the deaf omega giggle.

'That's funny.'

Arthur smiled back and nodded.

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! Where am I now?" A voice groaned. Arthur looked at the hallway that leads to the dorms, smiling as Lovino came out from them.

"That Lovino?" Alister asked.

Arthur grabbed his hand and balled it into a fist, making it bend down at the wrist then back up.

"LOVINO! COME HERE AND GIVE ME THE MONEY YOU OWE ME!"

"FUCK OFF ALPHA CUNT! I HAVE A BROTHER TO FEED!"

"WELL I HAVE FOUR BROTHERS AND A SISTER TO FEED TOO!"

And everyone who could hear face palmed. Those two were always fighting. It was a surprise that they were actually great friends, knowing how hard it is being the oldest sibling and having to be responsible for the younger ones.

Feliciano saw Arthur and Maeve face palm and looked over to the hallway, seeing his brother. He slowly nodded in understanding. Even though he can't hear, he knows they bicker...constantly.

"Hey you two, shut up! My show is on!" Maeve snapped. It went quiet for a second.

"You can't see it." Lovino blurted.

"Well I can can't hear it either. Now shush, I think my favorite is talking."

Arthur smiled at his little sister. Even though the accident years ago made them lose parts of themselves, he is happy they're not taking it so badly anymore.

He just hoped, he wished it was true for him, too.

Hello! I wrote this because I wanted to!... But anyways, I got inspired by a previous book I read and I loved it so much I wanted to make a fanfic of it, but with another set of characters. I love Hetalia, but I don't own it. The only character I own is Maeve. Mrs. Vazquez and Mr. Rainwater are based off actual teachers I know. Thank you for reading!

Also, I don't go to nor have I ever attended an academy, so forgive me if these things aren't exactly correct.
