VJ: Okay I don't have a title yet so any suggestions would be helpful. Well I've escaped my weird muses, I didn't want them in this fic. It's kind of serious. Well I'm about 5 miles from them so that works. Well I really hope you like this.
Veronica McCloud sat at a table outside the high school. It was free period and she was trying to get some homework done. She tugged at her short spiky light brown hair and adjusted her glasses. She looked up and noticed that the new kid was talking to Jessica Stern, the school snob. She was a cheerleader. Poor kid. Thought Veronica. But she kept watching. The new kid was strange. He was hardly a kid. He had brown hair that hung over his face and wore a black tee shirt and blue jeans. He hardly ever talked and when he did his voice was deep. His name was Trowa or something like that. She really hadn't been paying attention. Still he was cute. She shrugged it off and went back to work
Later that day Veronica was at her locker getting her books for math. Just then the bell rang. "Crap." Said Veronica under her breath. She slammed the locker door shut and ran down the hall. She wasn't looking where she was going and she ran into something. Her books fell to the floor. When she looked up she realized she had ran into the new kid. "I'm really sorry." She said kneeling down to pick up her books. She felt her cheeks turn red.
"It's okay." Said the boy kneeling down to help her.
When they stood up they were face to face. Veronica looked into his eyes, they were dark green.
"I'm Trowa Barton." He said.
"I-I'm Veronica McCloud," she said starting to walk away. "I'm late for class, I've gotta go."
Trowa nodded and watched her go. Veronica could feel his eyes on her as she walked down the hall.
The bell rang and Veronica slithered out of her seat. I'm so glad that school is over. She thought walking down the hall. She opened a door and walked outside. She stopped at the top of the stairs and looked around. Everyone was either outside the school talking or heading home. She realized that everyone was in a group of two or more. It made her feel out of place. I miss Mike. She thought sadly. She walked down the stairs and headed for the sidewalk. Just then Jessica and some of her friends walked in front of her.
"Hey weirdo. Where're you slithering off to?"
"Home." Answered Veronica simply.
"Well I think your glasses are dorky. Let me help you with them." Jessica ripped Veronica's glasses off her head.
"Give those back!" said Veronica lunging at Jessica.
Jessica dodged and threw the glasses to one of her friends. Veronica ran after them.
"Be careful with those!" yelled Veronica angrily. It's a good thing I can see pretty well without them. She thought.
The friend threw the glasses to Jessica and she caught them. Trowa came up to her.
"Give them back." He said.
"Fine." Said Jessica. She walked up to Veronica and handed her the glasses.
Veronica put them on. They were all smeared up but she didn't do anything. She started to walk away but Jessica put her foot out and Veronica tripped. She landed on her side. Jessica's group burst out laughing. She pushed herself up. When she stood up she noticed that her left knee and lower leg had quite a few scrapes. She lifted up her left shirtsleeve. Her shoulder and upper arm were scraped up.
"You might want to watch where you're going next time." Said Jessica.
Veronica clenched her jaw and glared. Then she turned and walked down the sidewalk. Holding her arm.
Trowa watched her for a moment then grabbed his backpack and followed her.
When she was out of sight of the school Veronica stopped to catch her breath. The scrapes were hurting something awful. Damnit. I hate these little scrapes. She started limping along the sidewalk. She thought about going home but instead went to the park. When she got there it was empty. She sat down on a swing. She sat there thinking for a while. Then she heard someone walking towards her. She looked up. Trowa was walking towards her. He was as quiet as ever.
"Are you okay?" he asked when he got up to her.
"Yeah. I'm fine." She said shyly.
Trowa looked down at her leg. It was bleeding, but not too badly.
"Why are you here?" asked Veronica.
Trowa shrugged. Veronica cocked her head. "Can I look at your leg?" he asked.
"Sure." Said Veronica surprised.
Trowa knelt down and gently took her leg in his hand. When his touched her leg she felt a tingle run up her spine. She tried to stop it but she shivered slightly anyway.
"You okay?" asked Trowa.
"Yeah." Said Veronica a little nervously then she blushed. She hadn't meant to lie.
He looked at it for a while then started to pull something out. Veronica squeezed her eyes shut and clung to the swing chain. Then he did it again but it didn't hurt as much.
"There were a couple rocks embedded in your leg." Said Trowa standing up.
"Thanks, I think." Said Veronica hoarsely.
Trowa sat on a swing next to her. "You should get something on that."
She shrugged. "Later. Are you new here?"
"Not really," said Trowa. "Just to the school."
"Oh."
They sat in silence for a while. The blood was soaking her sleeve. But she didn't care. It was a black tee shirt. Then she stood up.
"I had better get home."
Trowa also stood up. "Can I walk you home?" Where did that come from? Thought Trowa.
Veronica thought about it. "I'd like that."
Trowa nodded and they headed down the street.
VJ: Well that's the end of that chapter. What will happen? Will they fall in love? Tune in next time! Man I really need to get away from my muses. This started out with Heero but I changed it to Trowa. I think I like Trowa better. Well Quatre's my favorite but he just didn't seem to fit this roll. You'll see. Oh this also is a real scenario. I was chasing my cousin and I tripped and fell on the sidewalk. The only difference is that it was my right side and my left leg. I know that's lame. I tripped. Oh brother. We were also by the highway. Well the walk by the highway had gravel all over it so that's why I tripped. Well please review!
