"Warnings":

A new day was starting and Heero was once again walking towards his new school. But this time, he was smiling while he walked. He had gotten to know two really friendly guys, even though one of them talked more than the average person, and that made up for the cruelty of meeting Relena Darlian. Quickly searching the area where he had met her the last time, he found the coast cleared. No pink dressed nightmare was in sight. Sighing in relief, he quickly walked towards the school.

When he approached the gate in front of the school, he saw Quatre standing. Quatre spotted him as well and waved his hand, telling him to come there. Heero nodded and walked towards him. When he approached them, he noticed that Quatre wasn't alone. A tall guy with bangs covering half his face was standing next to them. The guy Quatre had named Trowa.

"Hi, Heero," Quatre smiled.

Heero greeted back and Quatre nodded towards Trowa. "You already know, but this is Trowa. Trowa Barton."

Heero nodded and Trowa nodded back. The three of them stood like that for a while, until-

"Hey, Quuuuuuuuatre!"

Everybody turned and saw Duo came walking towards them, a big smile plastered on his face.

"Hey, everybody is here except Wuffie. But instead of him, we have Heero. Hi, Heero. We're still on for today, right?"

Quatre smiled. "Easy, Duo. I don't think Heero is used to you talking yet. Not in that speed."

Duo just smiled. "So, you didn't tell me yesterday that you knew Quatre. Heero."

"You didn't ask."

"Well, then I'll ask. Anybody else besides me, Quatre and Trowa you have talked to?"

Quatre patted Trowa on the shoulder. "Technically, Heero haven't spoken to Trowa yet. They've just nodded."

Duo rolled his eyes. "Great. Two silent guys in the troop. Whoopee."

Heero interrupted. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. What troop?"

Duo smiled. "Oh, right. I was gonna tell you when we play basketball later. But I can tell you the name." Duo grabbed Trowa and Quatre around the shoulders and pulled them close towards himself.

"This," he stated. "Is the troop of fallen angels. Well, us three plus Wuffie and Hilde, but Hilde is more like a... Well, she's just there, unlike Wu-man who's never there."

"I've told you, Maxwell, the name is Wufei!"

Duo sweat dropped and turned his head in the direction of the voice. The voice belonged to a very irritated Chinese boy, which at the moment was on his way towards Duo. Reaching for Duo's braid, Duo screeched and jumped out of reach. The angry Chinese just growled and stepped towards Quatre instead. Quatre smiled.

"And this is Wufei, the last of the fallen angel. Known by Duo as Wuffie and Wu-bear."

"Don't forget Wu-man!"

"Shut it, Maxwell or that braid of your is coming of!"

Heero smiled. This was madness. He had been here for two days and he'd already gotten too know the craziest people at the school. Always smiling Quatre, tall silent Trowa, always jabbering Duo and a ill temperate Chinese named Wufei. They were obviously some sort of group and called themselves 'Fallen Angels'. And Heero couldn't help himself from liking everything. Without knowing why he burst into laughter and had to sit down on the ground.

Duo walked over to him and lied a hand on his shoulder. "You okay, man?" Heero couldn't answer. He just laughed and laughed. Duo frowned towards the Chinese.

"Great job, Wuffie. His second day on school and you've already driven him into madness. That's a new record."

Heero dried away the tears in his eyes and got up onto his feat again. "Gomen, folks. I-I don't know what came over me."

Duo grinned. "But it felt good, didn't it?" Heero nodded and smiled.

"So, what about that group of yours. 'Fallen Angels'?"

Duo smiled. "I'll tell you later, Hee-chan. Right now, we got to get to class 'cause I've promised myself that this year I won't be late to class more than three times."

"Three times a year?"

Duo shook his head and grinned. "Three times a day."

With that, Heero burst out in laugher again.

The first class of the day was History and the only person he knew in that class was the person he'd prefer to avoid for the rest of the semester. But no such luck. Relena, on the other hand, was very pleased to see him and placed herself on the available space next to him.

While Heero tried to focus on the lessons given from the teacher, Relena was busy talking with him.

"How do you like it here so far, Heero?"

"Hn, it's okay."

Fluttering heavy marked eyelashes towards him, she purred; "Anybody you've met that have caught your fancy?"

Heero smiled. "Actually I have, but I don't 'fancy' that person. At least not like that."

Oh." Relena looked at him. "Who?"

Heero shook his head as a black clothed tornado by the name of Duo Maxwell appeared inside of his head. "Just some guy named Duo. He's really interesting."

When she heard the name, Relena frowned. "Duo Maxwell. Calls himself Shinigami?"

Heero nodded, not really paying attention to her expressions.

"You should stay away from him. He's no good. A real troublemaker."

"Well, he doesn't seem like a troublemaker to me. He's more of a goof-bal than a troublemaker."

Relena shook her head and grabbed Heero's hand, squeezing it hard. Heero tried to pull it free, but Relena had it pinched between her hands to hard.

"Heero, you shouldn't hang out with him. Really. I say this for your own good."

Heero looked at her before he was able too free his hand from Relena's grasp. "Why? What are you talking about. Why shouldn't I hang out with him. He seems nice."

"But you don't know him, Heero. He's not like you think."

Heero turned away from her. He wasn't planning on taking any orders from a girl like that. "I'm sure I'll survive if I hang out with him. I'm sure I won't die if he looks or touches me."

Relena bit her lip, not wanting her newest attraction to get in the hands of Duo Maxwell. "Maybe not, but he will surly hit on you."

Heero slowly turned. "What?"

"He will hit on you. You know, flirt and stuff."

"He's-?"

Relena nodded. Heero thought for a moment. Then he replied. "I don' believe you."

"Eh?"

"He don't believe you, Darlian. I don't know what you have against this guy, but I've met him two or three times and he hasn't done anything. I was even alone with him yesterday. So just, mind your own business!"

And with that, he completely shut the girl out from his head.

***

The rest of the day, he used to avoid Relena and talk with Quatre. Quatre and Heero had the same biology, art and English lesions, while he and Trowa shared Literature and physics. He had yet do discover if he shared any classes with Wufei. He knew that, along with himself and Trowa, Duo attended the literature lesions, but that was the only class he knew that Duo had. He still hadn't attended any music, physiology and gymnastic or math lessons and he hoped that Relena would stay away from them. But more he hoped that Duo would attend at least one of them.
