A/N: Ok this is way out of the GW time zones, mainly because no one knows each other.

School: the final frontier

By Race Baj



The alarm went off with an annoying buzz, a bothersome sound that tormented the young teen every day of the school year, but this day was different, it was his first day of high school. With a large gulp the boy got out of bed, and got changed. He always wondered why he dressed this way, he looked like a priest for crying out loud! He slowly walked downstairs and sighed. The same stringy goo that he had every day! He regrettably ate it and walked outside. He hopped on a skateboard and skated down the road. There was tons of students running to school as well, the one crashed right into the boy.

"Why don't you watch where your going!" The boy who was riding the skateboard yelled, searching for his skateboard.

"I am really sorry! Really I am. Did I tell you how sorry I am?" the boy who crashed into him apologized.

The skateboarder was surprised by this response, he expected the boy to snap it him. "Well, I'm uhh, really sorry I yelled at you, you better get to school."

"Ok, but first," The boy said as he ran behind a trash can and came back with the skateboard. "Here, see ya later, and by the way, I'm Quarte."

"Thank you, I'm Duo." He said as he skated off to school.

Duo finally reached school and stepped inside, there sure were some real weirdos this year. He decided not to look at them and took of a slip of paper, it had his locker, and the combination on it. Locker 64, he walked to it and punched in the combo, then when it didn't open he punched the locker.

"Here," a voice from behind him said. Duo spun around to see the same weirdo he was looking at earlier.

'Oh God no!' Duo thought, he stepped aside and the boy dressed totally in black, with black hair who looked like a sci fi freak took out a small package he opened that contained a variety of tools. He removed a small saw made for cutting metal and sawed off the lock, then threw Duo a new lock and a key. "Uhh, thanks." Duo said, quiet shocked.

"No prob, by the way, my name is, well, uhh, people just call me glitch" The boy said, he smiled and opened the locker next to Duo's and took some things out of it. Duo snapping out of shock ran to the class lists. He glanced and noticed him and glitch were in a few of the same classes. Up first was Science, oh joy, every year he always caused a few explosions. He went to the class room, he sat in a seat next to a weirdo with hair so long on one side he probably hadn't seen out of his right eye for a couple of years. "Hi," Duo said cheerfully.

"Hmm." was all the boy said in response.

"Hey, uhh you!" glitch said as he ran up to Duo. "Looks like were in the same class."

"Yeah, and the name is Duo."

"Who is he?" glitch said pointing to the boy with the weird hair.

"Well, either his name is hmm, or he doesn't feel like talking."

"Hmm."

"I see," glitch laughed. Duo examined the contents on the table as the teacher started explaining what to do. glitch and Trowa fallowed instructions as Duo pulled out a magazine and read it, glitch smiled at Trowa and motioned to a bag of something, Trowa just nodded. "Put some of this in glitch said to Duo as he handed him a bag of something. Duo poured it in and withing seconds the canister started smoking.

"What the shoot!" Duo yelled as he jumped up. He looked around and saw the faces of laughing kids and the scowling teacher. Duo sat down and murmured a "I'll get you for this!" to Trowa and glitch.



The rest of the day until lunch was fine then Duo took a seat and remembered he forgot his lunch. "Aww man!" he groaned. He then checked his pockets. "No cash either!" He cried. Duo went to plan B, banging his head against the table.

"Hi again." a voice said, Duo looked up and saw Quarte.

"Oh, hi." he muttered.

"You not hungry?" Quarte asked.

"Actually I forgot my lunch, and have no cash to get anything from the cafeteria food."

"Ok, I'll be right back." Quarte left and in a few minutes cam back with a plate and a few pieces of pizza on it, he slid it over to Duo.

"Wow, thanks." Duo said happily as he scarfed the first one down. Soon glitch was standing behind Duo.

"Hiya!" He shouted, startling Duo, who threw his pizza in the air, it then landed on some girl sitting on the table behind Duo.

"Uh oh!" Duo gulped as he heard her scream. Duo spun around and saw a girl with a pink beret on and black hair. She looked angrily at him a pulled the pizza off her face.

"Food fight!" a shout rained out and food began flying everywhere. Soon lunch was ruined, along with everyone's clothes. Then the principle came and said everyone would stay after school to clean up. As well Duo, glitch, Quarte, that girl, and the boy who yelled food fight, were given detention.



The day went by and Duo tried to avoid glitch. He did the successful until detention. He sat in the corner and played with a slinky for the first 5 minutes then glitch walked up behind him.

"Hi buddy." He said mockingly. "Having fun?" Duo just tried to ignore him, but glitch kept bugging him so he moved over beside Quarte.

"Sorry about dragging you into this." Duo said apologetically.

"That's ok its no big-" but Quarte was cut off.

"What about me!" a girl said from behind Duo. He spun around to see the girl he had hit with the pizza.

"I'm uhh, well uhh." Duo stuttered.

"Well! I'm waiting!" she snapped.

Before Duo could answer, the other boy stuck in detention walked over. "What my friend here is trying to say." He started. "Is that he never would have left the pizza slice fly, if he knew it would hit someone as beautiful as you."

"Uhh, exactly." Duo said surprised.

The girls face brightened and her cheeks blushed at the comment. "Well, ok." she said, and skipped off to her seat.

Duo let out a sigh of relief and slumped down in his chair. "Thanks man, I owe you one." he gasped.

The boy just smiled. "Hi I'm Razz." the boy said, Duo shook his hand.

"I'm Duo."

The rest of detention went well, Duo and Razz talked for awhile, and the girl came over to introduce herself as Hilde. After awhile it ended and everyone went home, but Duo was sure, he would never forget this day.



A/N: well, I hope it was good, and no the story will not totally focus on Duo and next chapter more GW characters will appear, so don't worry, I didn't leave Heero and Wufie out.
