I'm No Angel
Chapter 2
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad at all -Dido
"Good morning students!"
Elizabeth's chipper voice traveled through the school, bringing students from their dreams and for some, nightmares. When Wufei woke up, he found everyone but Duo had gone to the cafeteria for breakfast. The deadly deity was still snoring. When he reached the noisy cafeteria, he was greeted by the smells of eggs, bacon, toast, sausage, and waffles. He hadn't realized how hungry he was until his stomach growled.
'Great. I'm turning into Maxwell.'
After saying his good mornings, he sat down at his place. The table was set just like it was for dinner except, the center piece was a vase of daisies, not roses, and the rectangular tablecloth was white, not scarlet.
"If you looked at your schedules, you'd see you have a free period next so we can give you a tour if you like," said a very bright and fresh looking Angel. She than looked past Wufei and smiled. "Mr. Maxwell, so nice of you to join us. Did you sleep well?" "
Yeah and it's just Duo," he said groggily. Quatre laughed at his friend. Duo was always last up. As soon as he saw the food, he began feeding his face.
Angel chuckled and said, "Americans are so cute!"
Duo stopped eating to smile and wink at the others. Kurt looked ready to kill. At that moment Elizabeth came in holding a flier in her hand she put it in front of Anthony who passed it to Kurt who passed it to Trowa who passed it to Quatre who passed it to Miki who passed it to Heero who passed it to Duo who passed it to Wufei who passed it to Angel who went totally red. "
Why didn't you tell us you were singing at Subzero?" asked Beth.
"Yes, Firefly, we all love to hear that angelic voice of yours," said Anthony. At the mention of the pet name everyone had given her, she grew as red as a tomato. Beth gave her a mischievous smile.
"Of course we are all coming to see you tonight." She looked at the others. You're all welcome to come to Subzero at...OW!"
She looked at Angel who gave her own version of the Death Glare.
Kurt smiled. "I'm sure our new friends would love to hear you play those pretty pipes of yours, Angel."
Beth watched Angel warily as she spoke. "Subzero is the best café/club in the entire colony. Angel, Joey, and I work there part time. Oh, Joey is that junior with the straws up his nose," she said pointing. "I can't wait to hear Angel's angelic..." said Beth before her chair was mysteriously knocked from under her.
Angel shot Kurt and Anthony a look that promised much pain if they said another word then she smiled sweetly at everyone else. Beth glared at her as she got up. Just then, the first period bell rang.
"Shall we be of?" Duo fell in step with Angel as they walked out.
"By the way, that chair thing was smooth." Angel smiled and glanced at a fuming Elizabeth.
"Thanks."
They were given a tour of the school and by the time the second bell rang, the boys knew every nook and cranny in the school. The next class they had was literature and the topic of the day was the Arthurian Legend. After calculus and biology, they had lunch.
"This school is so cool!" That of course was Duo. "There are only five periods instead of eight."
Elizabeth immediately began telling them all there was to do during their free periods. The bell rang and they went their separate ways. At two 'o' clock, school was over and everyone went to their rooms to change.
The G-boys all wore the same things they usually wore except they all wore jeans. Miki wore a pair of jeans and a white shirt. Kurt wore a pair of black jeans and a dark blue button-up shirt. Beth wore a denim skirt and a violet blouse. Anthony wore gray slacks, a white shirt, and a gray sports coat. Angel wore a pair of black stretch-jeans and a gray satin blouse.
They headed for the garage and six of them piled into Miki's silver minivan and four went into Angel's red Blazer. The ride to Subzero would have been fun for those in the van if Beth hadn't prattled on about nothing the entire trip. When they got there, Joey was already waiting tables and Angel and Beth got to work as soon as they arrived. The food and coffee was good and the music was nice. After they had spent about forty minutes there, Beth came running up to their table.
"Angel's about to go on!"
