Love Triangle

Austria liked Bosnia and wanted him to be her boyfriend. Serbia also liked Bosnia. Serbia and Bosnia were old friends – they had a lot in common and he lived right next door! Serbia decided to get Austria out of the way by spreading rumors and starting trouble. Then, Serbia would have Bosnia all to herself. Austria got really mad and told Serbia to stop causing trouble or else! Serbia did not tell Austria what she wanted to hear. So, Austria declared war on Serbia! Then, the rest of the school got involved. It turned into a big mess!!
