Alexi: This is my first fic, and it'll probably be really stupid. I'm just warning you now.

Duo: Of course it's stupid, I'm not in it!!

Alexi: Shut up Duo!! You're not supposed to be in this one. If you're good, I'll let you be in the next one.

Duo: *grumbles*

Trowa:...

Alexi: *sighs*

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, but only because other people got to it first. (wow, my first disclaimer...)

The New Kid

1 By: Alexi TigerHawk



I was sitting in homeroom on a normal Monday morning, rushing to finish my French homework due next period, when I was suddenly distracted by the teacher yelling over the noise, "We have a new student."

I looked up to see a tall, skinny boy with brown hair in his face. He looked like he would've liked to be anywhere except where he was. He's kinda cute, I thought, then went back to trying to make any sense of the French.

"This is the new student," the teacher said, indicating the new kid, as if we couldn't tell, "what's your name?"

"..." Was the new boy's response.

"Come on, say your name..." the teacher prodded.

"..." Once again, was the boy's response.

"Can you talk?"

He nodded.

"Then tell us your name."

"..."

"Fine. His name is," she consulted a list, "Trowa. Have a seat there, Trowa, next to Jesse.

I looked up again, and watched him as he sat down next to me. Upon closer inspection I noticed that he had the most beautiful brown eyes. He looked at me as he sat down. I nodded to him and went back to my French.

A second later, I noticed that he was still staring at me. "Can I help you?" I asked.

He nodded, and then pulled out a schedule. Pointing to it, he looked at me again.

"You can't understand the schedule?"

He nodded.

I smiled, "No one can, really. Here, let me see it." I took the schedule and looked it over. "Basically, the best you can do is look at the room numbers," I pointed to the column, "but finding the rooms is even harder than interpreting the schedule. Here, you have this next class with me, so I can show you there..." I looked up at him. "Ok?"

"..."

"You don't talk much, do you?"

He shrugged.

"My name is Jesse, by the way."

"..."

I shook my head. "Whatever..."







Alexi: Well, there it is. Um. Review, I guess.
