AN: This story is inspired by a film…but it had a different turn of events and the characters here, well, might be a little different. Anyway, I hope you will like the story and I hope that I would be able to finish this one! the story will be about love and friendship…the girls and the boys are classmates but for this year only. They're in the last year in high school and they meet for the first time, become friends and fall in love and then the ending.
I do not own any of the characters…just my brains and my hands and the computer I'm using.
Heero's ears perked up. It's the third time of the week that he heard the song being played. Although it's no wonder that the students in their school are talented in any field, it still amazed him why that particular song being played catches his attention. Maybe because it used to lull him to sleep when he was but a kid or maybe the one who's playing it right now is just outright talented. He could feel the gentle emotions surging out as each key was struck. And in order to finally feed his curiosity, he got up from where he was lying under a big tree at the back of the school building and walk towards the auditorium, leaving behind the others who were also spending quiet time together. Well, except for Duo and Wufei who are again at each others throats.
"Oi, Heero, where do you think you're going?" Duo yelled loudly; making Quatre look at Duo warningly, and Trowa raising an eyebrow.
"Hn. I'll be back." Heero said shortly not answering Duo's question making him wonder.
"Baka, Maxwell! Do you always have to ask Yuy where he's going?" Wufei grudgingly stated.
"Why does it even bother you, Wu-man?" Duo retorted, making faces at Wufei.
A full out word war soon ensued. Though Duo and Wufei's argument could get into anyone's nerves, the other three boys really don't mind it. They've been together for as long as they can remember and they know how to tolerate them.
Heero was listening intently to the music being played. He wondered if the player had been practicing for a very long time as he could sense the emotions being put into the song. When he reached the auditorium, Heero listened closely. He was sure that whoever was playing the song is inside. But as he opened the door, he found it empty but the music kept on playing. Heero stood at the entrance for a maximum of five minute, thinking where else could the music be played. Then it hit him. At the back of the auditorium was a grand piano being kept for special purposes like concerts and plays. He then started to walk towards the back of the auditorium. And boy, he was right. Sitting in front of the grand piano was a girl with long black hair. Her back was to him so he did not see her face. The girl was playing Canon in D. Heero hid behind the door and waited until the girl finished playing the song. A moment later the song ended but the girl remained seated. He watched her carefully and he noticed her put her hands on her face and heard a small sob. Then just as it happened quickly, the girl stood and walked away from the room, brushing the tears that fell from her eyes.
Heero sat in class clearly bored from the teacher's continuous droning about literature. He wasn't interested much with literature. He hated stories and poems and plays. He hated reciting in class because all the girls seemed to swoon whenever he speak so opted to close his mouth mostly of the time except when he was with the boys. Looking outside the windows, he saw a familiar figure running down the field. Heero swore it was the same girl that played the Canon in the auditorium. He craned his neck closer to the windows when he felt being poke hard on his shoulder. Heero turned and glared to who it was poking him and found Wufei looking at him, smirking.
"What?" He asked.
Wufei smirked and jerked his head towards the front of the class. Heero looked and found the class staring at him.
"Anything interesting happening outside, Mr. Yuy?" The teacher asked.
Heero grimaced inwardly. Sure the class was dead boring but he had a good reputation as a student. "No sir." He said.
The teacher smiled. "Well then, kindly read the poem-with emotions, Mr. Yuy."
Heero had no choice but to do what he was asked to do. He stood up from his seat but before he opened his mouth to read the poem, he gave the already grinning Duo a deadly glare.
Classes ended. Heero and the others went up to their lockers to pick up their things. Afterwards, the group of boys went out of the school. Once outside, they mingled with the different students already on their way out. While walking towards the gate, they saw a group of girls waiting under the cherry tree beside the gate. The four girls were the same year as they were and the in the same class with them for that year.
"Hey, Quatre, remember the girls I told you who were in the same club as I am? There they are, standing under the cherry tree." Duo babbled.
"We were not asking you about them, Duo." Wufei said.
"I wasn't even talking to you." Duo retorted.
"Guys, please shut up." Trowa spoke from behind them.
As they were walking towards the gate, a girl ran up from behind them and accidentally bumped into Heero making her fall down on her butt.
"Ow." The girl whimpered.
The boys looked from behind them and turned to see a girl sitting on the ground. Heero being the nearest to her and the one she bumped into offered his hand.
"Here, let me help you up." He said in a gentle manner.
Without looking up, the girl accepted his hand. She apologized and gave a small bow.
"I apologize for bumping into you." She said in a low voice, bowing to Heero. When she stood straight, she and Heero locked gazes both of them startled by each other's eye color. The girl quickly looked away, embarrassed, bowing again and running off towards the waiting girls beside the gate. Quatre recognized the girl but was unable to say anything.
"Whoa. She's one hot chick, dude." Duo commented as he looked at her to where she is.
"Hn. Your eyes need to be taken out of your head, Duo." Heero stated simply.
"I definitely agree with you Yuy." Wufei piped up.
Duo cocked an eyebrow at them. "If I've no eyes anymore, how will I be able to appreciate the beauty of the world and of ladies?" He sighed.
Quatre and Trowa let out a small laugh. "You don't need to see the beauty of the world and of the ladies, you're already beautiful." Trowa commented and the others laugh at this.
Duo frowned at them, annoyed at the thought Trowa was trying to say. "Don't go talking about me like that. It's not my problem I love my braid or I look like a girl." He huffed and began to walk ahead of them.
The boys entered the café after spending some time playing inside the arcade. They sat on the far side near the windows and ordered. They were discussing things about the basketball game they saw last night and were discussing why their favorite team lost in the game. Just as their orders came, the girls they saw earlier in school came inside the café and sat at the farthest booth. A waitress came to them and took their orders.
"I've never noticed those girls come here before." Duo said.
Quatre looked at him, "You are not paying attention then. We had a couple of classes with them...I mean, we have are all in the same class."
"Really now, since when have you been interested with girls Quatre?" Duo teased.
Quatre blushed at Duo's comment. "I happen to know one of them, Duo."
The other guys eye Quatre. "What?" Quatre asked, "Is it bad to get acquainted with one of them?" He huffed.
Heero only shrugged his shoulders while Trowa, Wufei and Duo raised their eyebrows.
They sat in their booths for quite some time as their talk switched from the basketball game to the girls and to their plans for tomorrow since it will be Saturday. Trowa had suggested they all go watch a movie to which Wufei and Duo objected saying that there is no good movie tomorrow. Quatre offered that they just hang out at his place but Heero declined. The boys then settled that tomorrow will be like the usual; hanging out in the arcades.
A movement from the farthest booth caught their attention and they all turned to see the girls rising from their seats to leave. The two blonds ran out of the café, chasing each other as the one with cropped hair and the tall girl conversed. The girl who bumped into Heero earlier trailed after them, texting on her phone before they disappeared out of the doors.
"Well, shouldn't we get going now?" Trowa asked the group.
"You're right Trowa. My family's having dinner outside, it's my parents' anniversary today." Wufei said, standing up from his seat.
Quatre also stood up. "Yeah, me too. I have to plan for the activities for the class."
Duo, Heero and Trowa simultaneously stood up from their seats. They paid their bill and slowly walked out of the café. Once they were outside, they found one of the girls standing on the sidewalk, obviously waiting.
Quatre took the courage to greet her; after all he had been acquainted with her once.
"Hello, Rei-san. Why are you still here?" Quatre asked as the boys looked at them curiously.
The girl turned to him and smiled. "Hello, Quatre-kun. I was just waiting for my brother to fetch me."
"Ah, I see. We are in the same class this year, aren't we? I'm glad to have you as my classmate…and so are my friends." Quatre said, smiling happily at her as he spared the boys a glance.
Rei only smiled at him and looked at the four boys standing behind him. "I'm glad that we are classmates Quatre-kun. I hope to be friends with you and your friends, as well. Well, I have to go now. My brother's here already."
Just then, a black car stopped in front of them. A tall man with black hair and blue eyes stepped out of the car and handed Rei a coat. The man nodded at Quatre before ushering Rei inside.
"See you in class." Rei said as she waved goodbye at them and the car drove on.
When the car finally disappeared, Duo jumped on Quatre's back and yelled in his ear. "Man, I did not know that you knew that girl."
Quatre rubbed his ear and looks at Duo. "Duo, anyone in school knows her. I'm surprised to find you did not even know her."
"Well, who is she anyway?" Duo asked, crossing his arms.
Quatre shook his head in disappointment. "How come you have not figured it all out? That, my friend, is Rei Hino."
A collective gasp was heard from the group of boys indicating their surprise.
"Maybe I was too busy taunting Fei or hanging out with you that I barely notice them girls!" Duo said, sounding indignant.
They have heard that name before but they have not seen the person who owns that name since they were not interested at all. In their school, everybody, except them, knew who Rei was. Rei Hino is the most beautiful girl in their school admired by both male and female and even students from other school who often come to wait outside their school to catch a glimpse of her. And her clique were all beautiful girls.
Quatre laughed as he saw the expressions the other boys gave him. "Now, now, let's get going home. We have our own business to do." He said and started walking away. Duo was brought back to his senses and ran after Quatre demanding details of how he knew about the girl while Wufei and Trowa trailed after them. Heero on the other hand looked back.
"So, Rei Hino is it? I should have realized who had just bumped into me earlier…" Heero thought to himself as he started to follow the boys walking ahead of him as they head towards their respective homes.
So, how was it? Up next will be Changes and Rei.
