Chapter 4 (Tuesday)
"That's him." Wufei grumbled as he leaned back against Tiddy's chest.
Tiddy looked over at the tall brunet who in turn was trying to make it look like he wasn't looking at them. "Yeah, I see him."
"He's been looking at me all day. It's like every time I turn around he's there."
Tiddy sneered at the tall boy leaning against a wall further away, surrounded by a large group of friends. "Creepy bastard."
"Yeah, that's for sure." Wufei lifted up his magazine, trying to ignore the looks. At least he knew that the jocks wouldn't do anything to them now when they were all together, especially not while Jason was here.
Jason could make even Heero Yuy back down without moving a muscle because the guy was huge. He kind of looked like a stereotype bad guy; big, black and always wearing his bad boy rocker outfit, he could intimidate just about anyone. And that was without all the rumors that were going around about him. Wufei once overheard some guys talking about how Jason had killed someone in his last school – the reason why he had moved to their school. Wufei, who knew for a fact that Jason moved because his mother had gotten a new job, couldn't help but tell the guys that Jason hadn't killed anyone... he had just broken his spine and put him in a wheelchair. Jason laughed his ass off when he had told him about it.
So it might not be so strange that people were weary of Jason. Actually, anyone with a brain should be intimidated by him; or at least until you got to know him and realized that he was just one big teddy bear. The first time Wufei met him, he had been begging his girlfriend to please let him go play in the mud because it looked really fun when the small kids were doing it. She wouldn't let him because she didn't want him to get her car dirty. Jason had whined like a five year old being deprived of sweets until she found some plastic bags that he could use to cover the seats on the way back. The huge guy had then dived in to the mud together with a couple of friends where a strange sort of wrestling/tag game started.
Wufei, Tiddy, Hilde and Jasons' s girlfriend had just stood back and watched the half naked boys tumble around in the mud. It had been a nice day.
Wufei smiled at the memory before reaching behind himself to move the sharp Wicca symbol that Tiddy had around her neck. He settled back again, now more comfortably leaning back. With one last glare at the creep, he turned back to his magazine.

Duo realized that he had been caught looking and quickly turned back to his friends. They were talking about some girl, Duo had no idea who. He couldn't care less about what size her breasts were. This was the worst part of being in the closet. You could never really be yourself; you always had to watch what you said and what you did, so no one could expose you. One slip of a tongue and life as you knew it would be ruined.
In a way, Duo longed to be out. He knew that things wouldn't be the same and that he would have to put up with a lot of shit, but it just might be worth it. Especially if he had someone to do it for. Duo took a sip from his cola and looked over at the dark group of people lounging on the floor in front of a row of lockers.
Some of them seemed to be playing some kind of children's game since they were clapping their hands to a certain beat, while some were just talking and laughing. And in the middle of it all was Wufei who was sitting between the legs of a barely dressed girl with his head leaned back against her chest. Her big breast seamed to be serving as a headrest for the exotic boy who was carelessly flipping through a gay life style magazine. His tight black sweater had been pushed up slightly, reveling a smooth hipbone above the edge of his black jeans.
Duo sighed in longing. He would put up with a lot of shit if he got to be the one sitting behind that beautiful boy. He was fully aware that it would never happen since the guy didn't seem so fond of him, a thing that would probably not change any time soon. He wondered if there was a way that he could get close to him so he could show him that he was a nice guy.
He fantasized about walking over to them, sitting down on the floor next to that exposed hipbone and say, 'Hi, I'm Duo, and I think you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. If you just give me a chance, I will do anything for you and make all your dreams come true. So would you go out with me?' At his words, Wufei would smile – a big happy smile that soon would turn into a seductive smirk. Wufei would then pull that soft looking sweater over his own head, and Duo would touch that tempting body before they fell back on the floor – no, on the bed. Both naked, they would wrap themselves around each other, and Wufei would open his legs in invitation. Duo would kiss his smiling lips before sliding in to-
"Hey, Maxwell."
Tim's voice ripped him from his fantasy, leaving him disorientated and not just a little horny.
"Did you enjoy Mrs. Jenkins class?" Tim asked with a leer.
Duo had no idea what he was supposed to enjoy during the pretty mediocre math class, but it was clear that he was supposed know. He tried to get some idea of what was going on from the looks of the other guys faces, but he couldn't for the life of him figure out what they had been talking about while he was zoning out. Calming himself, he decided to settle for a neutral. "It was interesting."
"I bet it was." Tim snickered. "Those tits are insane."
"You just wait until she starts pointing at things that are high up. Her shirt rides up pretty far, man those lucky bastards in the first row." Brian shook his head with a grin.
They guys all laughed, and Duo forced himself to laugh with them.
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
Wufei wiggled his lip piercing from side to side as he pretended to listen to the teacher. He usually liked the literature class, but the stories they were tackling were ones by Dickens – naïve, simple and idealistic tales for children. He wasn't all that interesting in hearing about his life and how he had worked at some shoe factory when he was a kid and so on. He just wished that Tiddy or Hilde was in this class so that he could have thrown notes at them – which would have helped him pass the time. As it was now, he was working hard to stay relaxed and not be bothered by the eyes that were burning into the back of his neck. He knew the creep was looking at him; he didn't need to turn around to know this. An unsettling feeling was growing in his stomach, and he forced himself not tense. Instead, he concentrated on looking as relaxed and comfortable as he could manage while he faked interest in Oliver Twist.
When the class was finally over, he more or less ran out of the classroom to get away from the constant pressure of the bastard's eyes on him.

"So are you coming to the party this weekend?" Simon asked. Duo looked up from where he was searching through his locker for books for the next class.
"Sure, I don't have any plans."
"It's going to be great. There are going to be a ton of hot girls there." Simon leered.
Duo forced a smile. "Can't wait."
"Yeah, because one thing is for sure, there are not going to be any ugly bitches like that anywhere near my party." He said and flicked his head to the right.
Duo looked up only to see that girl who was always hanging around Wufei. She was with another goth girl, and they were walking towards them fast.
Brian, who was standing next to them, snarled. "Fucking freaks, it's like they don't have their own identity. They just copy each others' crappy style. Ever heard of colors?" He asked loudly as two gloomy dressed girls walked past them. The girls glared with distaste at them.
Duo grimaced. "Was that really necessary?"
Brian rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on. It's not like they even care what we say."
"Yeah, but still..." Duo mumbled unhappily.
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
"God, I fucking hate those jocks." Tiddy hissed as she ripped her locker open.
"What did they do this time?" Wufei asked as he searched through his bag.
"Just being assholes. I saw you stalker with them by the way."
"Now why doesn't that surprise me? That bastard is everywhere." Wufei snorted as he started lifting things out of his messenger bag.
"I'm just so sick of them. I was in a really good mode before they showed up."
Wufei started going through all the side pockets on the black bag."Yeah?"
"We got this really cool assignment for history class. We are going to totally trash all homophobic shit in the Bible; it's going to be great. Mr. A knew this book that some guy had written a couple of years ago and- what the fuck are you looking for?" She cut herself off to ask.
Wufei, who was shaking his bag back and fort, sighed. "I can't find my fluoride tablets."
"Maybe you forgot them at home?"
"Maybe, but I was so sure that I put them back in the inner pocket the last time I took one."
"Have you checked the rest of your coat?"
"Yes."
"Your locker?"
"Yes."
Tiddy walked over to his locker and started to lift some books around.
"I've already searched there." He said as he started to pat down the many pockets of his bondage pants.
"Found it." She held up the small silver locket in triumph just a few seconds later.
"Where was it?" He frowned as she handed it to him.
"In the back under some papers."
Opening the lid he popped one of the small white pills in his mouth. "Thanks Tid, you want one?"
"Oh, mints. Mmm." She took one and sucked happily on it.
"Hey." Trowa mumbled as he came over to them.
"What's up?" Wufei asked as he carefully put the locket back into his coats inner pocket.
Trowa shrugged. "Nothing much. Just had to sit through an entire lesson with Brian Jefferson."
Wufei grimaced in sympathy. "I feel your pain. I had one with that new guy."
"The one that looked at you like you were a three-headed goat?" Trowa asked in amusement.
"That's the one. I'm so sick of him because where ever it was he came from, they sure didn't have any goths there because he's been staring at me all day. It's fucking pissing me off." Wufei growled.
"Just ignore him. Anything else will just make it worse." Tiddy said.
"And if it gets worse, tell me and Jason, and we'll take care of it." Trowa said it so easily like he wasn't talking about beating someone up.
Wufei sighed. "I don't want him hurt, I just want him to stop."
Tiddy squeezed his hand in comfort.
