A/N: It's likely that I'm starting this because I'm slightly insane... or that I just don't realize that six projects will drive me insane. Anyway, enjoy and tell me how I'm doing at the end, please.

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing or make a profit from this.

Wufei just wasn't the type.

Luckily, neither was Meiran.

"You're such a nerd!" Duo slapped his best friend Wufei on the shoulder. "Come on, these are the best days of our life. You need to get out there, date around, meet someone."

"I'm focusing on keeping my test scores up." Wufei growled through clenched teeth. Lately, Duo's teasing had gotten to him, after all, all his friends had girlfriends and he felt out of place when they wanted to have talks about why women do the things they did. "I want to get into a good college." Wufei tried to bury his face his textbook, but Duo smacked the textbook into his face.

"Wufei, tell me something." Duo leaned in so he could ask without anyone hearing, "Do you like guys? Is that it?"

"No." Wufei turned back to his book. "Your one question is up." He waved Duo away with a flick of the wrist, ready to ignore any further attempts to question him.

Duo rolled his eyes and headed off to talk to his other friends. Wufei was always so difficult when it came to dating. What was wrong with the girls at their school that he just didn't seem interested?

"Meiran, honestly, you need the interaction." Sally sat in Meiran's room with her, toying with her best friend's hair. "Just try dating. You might like it, even."

"Why aren't you dating then?" Meiran shot back, wincing as Sally tugged at her hair, trying to get it into a bun. "Hypocrite."

"I've told you this." Sally put her free hand on Meiran's shoulder. "Stop squirming! And I told you that my last relationship that didn't work out... I just want to take a break and focus on school for a while. You always focus on school, and you need someone else to focus on besides me. Sometimes I feel a little suffocated."

"I have other friends." Meiran glared at the wall, as pissed as she was, she didn't want Sally accidentally poking her eye out with a comb or clip of some sort.

"Uh huh." Sally fussed with a comb, twisting Meiran's hair back almost expertly. "How is that going?"

Meiran hated to admit it, but it wasn't going well. "Relena and Hilde are both mad at me." Meiran narrowed her eyes into a worse glare at the wall. "Dorothy... I don't know what the hell is up with her."

"You've got me." Sally soothed. "But still, wouldn't you love to have a boyfriend?"

"Guys are assholes." Meiran took the comb from her best friend and finally glanced in the mirror. "And this is a group study session, not my wedding day." She took the flowered clips out of her hair.

"There will be boys there, and I want you to make a good impression." Sally sighed. "No pigtails, Meiran. You don't want to look like a baby."

"What if I just left it down? Would I be repulsive that way?" Meiran hated that she was complying with Sally's demands, but sometimes it was easier to go along with her ideas then to fight them.

"You're never repulsive." Sally rolled her eyes. "Can I brush it out for you?"

Meiran once again complied, and then she found herself staring into a mirror. She didn't look like herself; she looked like a full-grown woman.

"Just try to make a good impression, ok?" Sally kissed her best friend's cheek and made a show of going to the closet to find something for Meiran to wear.

Somehow, Meiran knew she was going to be wearing a skirt. And she hated skirts.

When Wufei arrived at the designated study area, AKA, Relena's house, he noticed no one out of the ordinary. Duo had mentioned that there would be new faces, and though Wufei wasn't ecstatic about meeting these people, he was a little curious.

Then she walked in. She had long dark hair, dark eyes and a scowl as she muttered something to her blonde friend. She was dressed in a dark purple knee-length skirt and a white blouse, playing up her pale skin tone.

Wufei blushed faintly as she glanced over and shot the world's worst third degree burn of a glare at him. She had caught him staring, he knew that, but still, he would hold his own.

She just didn't seem the type to actively pursue a guy, and luckily, he wasn't the type to pursue someone he liked either.

But that wouldn't stop the fates from crushing them together.

A/N: First time working with Meiran, so please tell me what you think. Also, I don't know when the next chapter will be up. Thank you for reading!
