I'm just a girl with a crush on you
Don't care about money
It doesn't give me half the thrill
To the thought of you, honey
So tell me that you want me still
If only I could trade the fancy cars
For a chance today, it's incomparable
I might be sitting with the movie stars
Everybody say that I have it all
But I can't make you love me
Is it my life or the things I do?
Can't make you love me
I'm just a girl with a crush on you
I have been through changes, yeah
But I'm still the girl you used to know
It's made me no different
So tell me why you had to go
Oh baby, I will trade the fancy cars
For a chance today, it's incomparable
I might be sitting with the movie stars
Everybody say that I just have it all
Just the thought of being close to you
It's incomparable
Should be happy with the life I live
And the things I do
Seems like I have it all
Can't make you, make you love me baby
It's my life, what can I do?
Can't make you love me, alright
I'm just a girl with a crush on you
I'm just a girl with a crush on you
"Damn!" exclaim Heero as he hit once more the face with the locker's door.
"Hey... Keep with the good work!" said Duo as he open his locker.
Heero turn around and smile... Well, he tried.
"I saw you at the meeting..." commented Duo.
"Yeah... I don't know what got into me." replied Heero.
Duo put some books in the locker. "I've never seen anyone handle the coach
that way... You were cool man." and with this, Duo give Heero a light punch in the shoulder.
Heero smirk nervous. "Thanks!"
"So now you'll be part of the team, huh?"
Heero turn around. "I think so..."
"That'll be great..." said Duo and give a smile to the shorter boy.
Heero blush. "Y... yeah... I guess so..."
A blue haired girl stop by. "Duo, are you coming?"
"Sure... " Duo close the locker.
Duo and the other girl walk away. He put his arm around her waist. Heero look at the couple away.
"So... where are we going, Hil?" Heero was able to listen to their conversation.
The blue haired girl chuckle. "My parents aren't home..."
"Oh..." was the last thing Heero heard come out of Duo.
It was Biology class. To Heero's misfortune, Merian wasn't in it with him so Heero would have to hang alone.
He was early to the class so he took a place. The others would be there in no time.
And just as he predicted, everyone started to come in. To his suprise, the group of girls Merian had shown
him walk in and seat on the desks by his side (just mere coincidence).
"Isn't Katty just gorgeous?" commented Relena Peacecraft, who was the school president too. "I heard
she's pregnant."
"No way!" exclaim Dorothy, head of the school newspaper. " I bet it is of Billy.
"You sure? I'm almost sure it is Duo's" replied Relena. "I wouldn't be surpirise if Billy is the one pregnant
of Duo... I mean, the guy has laid with half of the school." added the blond girl.
Heero couldn't help to listen to all the gossip.
"Talking about the demon... Have you seen him?" asked Dorothy with a malicious smirk in her face.
"Nop." replied Relena, seconding Dorothy in their game that was practically a ritual.
"And... Have you seen Hilde???" chanted Dorothy.
"Nop."
The two girls giggle.
Sally Po, Biology teacher, walk in.
"Just what is so funny to have the Eastweak witchs giggling" asked Sally Po in a demanding tone.
Relena and Dorothy turn and throw a couple of threatening looks at the older woman.
"Girls, don't even try it... I'm much older... and have the authority to have your little butts kicked
out of the school" replied Sally and then reach out for her huge biology book.
Heero look at Sally and mentally smiled. This woman was so sure of herself. Heero liked her.
The blue eyed boy was able to hear the sharp commnets about the teacher that Relena and Dorothy
were passing to each other in low whispers.
There was no doubt that with this girls... you shouldn't mess...
At GYM class Heero was again, not with Merian, but there was Wu Fei and a friendly blond guy named
Quatre.
The GYM teacher have them in teams of three and put them to do the basic things in basquetball: passing,
catching, throwing, etc. Wu Fei finish with his round of basquetball craps, so he threw the ball to
Quatre who started with the bunch of exercises.
Heero look up and find the teacher talking to a guy who appear to be from a higher semester. He was
tall and blond. Beautiful long platinium hair and crystal eyes. They appear to be arguing about something
when the caoch suddenly walk away. The platinium haired guy turn and caught Heero looking at him.
Heero unconciously gasp but didn't look away. He didn't miss the smile given by the elder guy.
BLAM!
The cobalt eyed boy hit the floor.
"Oh. My God! Heero, I'm sorry!" exclaim the blond Winner as he run to Heero who was laying on the floor.
Quatre knee and tried to nurse Heero. "Are you ok, Heero... I'm really sorry... I thought you were ready."
Quatre apologize.
"Wow, Yuy... Those were some pretty good reflections." joked Wu Fei.
Heero touch his head. "I wasn't looking when he throw me the ball!" he replied.
"I thought you were... I'm really really sorry, Heero." apologize once more Quatre.
Heero tried to stand. "It's ok... I'm fine."
A pair of strong arms help Heero up. "You ok?"
Heero look up and found the platinium haired guy helping him.
"Yes... sure... that's the way I always catch the ball." joked Heero as he rub his head.
Milliardo chuckle. "Really, then it'd be great if you could join the basquetball team... We'd love to
have such a good player with us."
Heero fix himself, then look at the taller boy. "Sorry... already taken by the football team."
"What a shame... such a potential... such skills... such a boy like you." Milliardo put his hand in Heero's
shoulder.
Wu Fei cross his arms and grunted. "I tought you were here to talk to the coach, not to gather people
for the basquet looser team."
Milliardo throw a death glare at the chinese boy. "I was... I just wanted to make sure that he made
it to a good team... Not just a team of apes." replied the blond guy. "Well think about it, ok?"
Milliardo walk away.
"Who was him?" asked Heero without taking his eyes off the dazzling blond.
"Milliardo Peacecraft... Captain of the Basquetball team." Quatre answered.
"Did you just said Peacecraft?... Is he Relena's brother'"
"Yep." answered Wu Fei. "Both are just the same trash."
"So you made it to the Football team?" asked amazed Merian.
"Yes, " replied Heero... "I don't know what am I gonna do, I mean... I've neveer play football, not like
this."
Merian put an arm around Heero's neck. "Ah. Don't worry, Heero, you'll do fine. And if things go all wrong,
you blame it on other thing."
"That sounds like a good advise, thanks Merian!" Heero smile.
"You are welcome, Heero! That's what friends are for!" cheered Merian.
"You've been so nice by volunteering to come with me to the practices... "
Merian rub her head. "Yeah. I guess I've been."
"Hey... wait a second... You sure you are coming with me to the training to support me... or to see
Wu Fei???" Heero frown.
"No!... I came to support you..." replied quickly the pigtail girl. When Merian look at Heero's frown
eyes, she added. "... and Wu Fei... But who cares about that, I mean... Let's just have fun!"
Heero smirk. "Yeah. Right..."
At the football field. Heero walk in. He turn back and saw Merian looking at him and cheering from
the benches.
The coach walk toward him and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm glad you made it here, kid... The dressers
are over there... Here's your uniform."
Heero take the uniform in his hands. "Thanks coach."
"Put it on, and let's scramble!!!"
Heero sweat droped. "Yeah... sure... scramble..."
Heero walk toward the dressers. In there, was Wu Fei.
"Jo, Yuy!" the chinese boy greeted.
"Hey!" Heero greeted back with a smile. Wu Fei was a friendly guy if you knew how to get to him. It
appeared that Heero got to him from the right angle. "Merian is out there waiting to see you."
Wu Fei exhale in frustration. "That onna..."
Heero chuckle. He knew that all those insults and teasing from Wu Fei to Merian meant that Wu Fei
liked the girl, in a Wu Fei way.
After done with the clothes, Heero got to the field with Wu Fei. Once there, he look around to see
if Duo was there. It appeared that the Demon Maxwell wouldn't make it to the training too. After
he left with that blue haired girl, apparently named Hilde, Heero didn't saw Duo again in the rest of
the day. So sad... Heero thought that by getting to the team he'll get a chance to spend more
time with Duo and who knows... whatever that comes with it.
"All right!" shouted the coach and blow his whistle. "Let's start!!!"
The players started with some tough exersice. All the stuff they did was smiliar to what Heero
remember as the games they put them at camps... But that heavy things they had on made the
things a lot more difficult. By the time they were done, Heero coulnd't feel his muscles. He throw himself to the floor.
"Yuy, get up... The best thing is comin!" said Wu Fei as he kick a little Heero's body.
"Give me 5 minutes, Wu Fei..." replied Heero from the floor.
The coach walk toward the two boys. "Yuy! What do you think you are doing there... Are you tired???"
"No... Of course not, sir." said Heero, al though he knew his body was begging him to quit to all that football
crap. "I'm just... getting the power of Mother Earth to my body."
"Good!" replied the coach... "But you can get the power of Mother Earth later... Now, we are starting
the good stuff... playing"
Heero look up and saw all the players push themsleves and jump over each other. He will have to do
that?! Heero felt like fainting.
Wu Fei help Heero up and take him to a line of players.
"Come on, Yuy... You'll be on my team."
"I want to be in the team of the ones who get to rest..." complained Heero.
"There is a team... but those are the loosers who don't get to play... And I won't let you go to
that team. A honorable warrior doesn't let a partner die, does he?" grunted Wu Fei.
"Whatever..."
Everyone position themeselves. Heero imitate Wu Fei. There were two lines of players that where looking
to each other.
'Why is it that I feel I won't like this?' Heero ask himself as he saw the guy infront of him. He was
thin and tall with amazing green eyes.
"I'm sorry for being late..."
Heero quickly turn around as he recognize that voice.
"Maxwell!!! You got some serious problems that I'm not willing to tolerate!" shouted the coach at
the braided wonder.
Heero was so happy that Duo made it to the tarinings. Maybe all this tireness and pain will worth it.
Heero was so busy looking at Duo talk to the coach, that he didn't realize they'd given the sign to start
playing and the green eyed boy went over him. Heero fall flat to the floor. Great... With this, there were two
times he ended in the floor while practicing a sport.
The green eyed stood up and take his helmet off. "Hey, you ok?"
Heero look up and saw that the other boy had this long bangs that cover half of his face.
"I've been in worse things..." Heero replied.
The tall boy offerered Heero a hand. Heero took it and suit himself to get up.
"Easy Barton..." the chinese boy walk toward the two. "you don't want to injure the coach's star."
The green eyed boy look at Heero. "Oh. Yes. You are the one of the senseless chattering."
Heero blush. How embarasing that people would recognize him because of that silly act. The
blue eyed boy nodded.
Trowa laugh. "That was something you don't get to see everyday."
Someone jump over Wu Fei.
"What the... " exclaim the chinese boy. "There's only one person stupid enough... Maxwell, that's you right?"
By this time, Duo was riding Wu Fei's back. "Hey, Wu Fei!"
"Get off me, Maxwell!!!" demanded Wu Fei. "NOW!!!"
Duo hoped off the chinese boy.
"Maxwell, you are a disgrace to this team and to the whole human raze!"
Heero chuckle.
"Ah! But that's why you love me, Fei..." replied Duo.
"All right people! Less chattering!" shouted the coach. "We got a training to do!"
Heero position himself. Trowa position infront of him.
"Look... When they blow the whistle... " Trowa explain "You got to push me with the upper
part of your chest and shoulders, no hands."
"Ok!"
Duo push Trowa away. "You go catch the ball, Barton... I'll take this place."
Trowa noded and walk away.
"Hey, it's good to see you." Duo greeted the blue eyed boy, who thanked that he was all sweaty cause
that way, the blush will hide.
"Yeah... Sure..." Maybe this football thing wouldn't suck.
There was this whistle and Heero didn't waste his time. He ended over Duo.
"Wow..." was the only thing Duo said as he found himself down and with Heero on top.
At the end of all the train, the players were getting the hell out of the place. Heero saw
Merian run toward him.
"Hey, Heero you did great!" she cheered. "Very good for a person that hasn't ever played football!"
"Thanks!"
Trowa walk toward the two with a huge bag. "Congratulations, Yuy... You'll fit perfectly in the team." The
taller boy rub Heero's hair as if Heero was a puppy.
Heero laugh and watch the green eyed as he left.
"Hey..."
Heero turn around and found himself face to face with the famous Demon Maxwell.
"Pretty cool over there, huh?" The braided boy put his arm around Heero's neck. "But, hey... Next time, it
won't be so easy to get me to the floor!"
"Well... We'll see that, cause, like you've seen, I'm stopable... They use to call me, Machine Yuy." Heero
joked.
Duo chukle. "Then, you'll show me what you got on the next training, Machine." Duo spank Heero's
ass and leave.
Heero gasp.
"Wow... I can't believe you made friends with Duo!" exclaim Merian.
"What's so impressing about that?... Yuy is very sociable, and now, an excellent player!" Wu Fei walk in.
"Wu Fei!!!" Merian yelled.
"Onna! The next time you come, try not to scream to much, I can't remember feeling so emabrrassed
in my whole life!"
Heero was still looking at Duo who was greeted by one of the cheerleaders. Heero felt so jealous when
he saw the braided boy kissed vigoruosly the blond girl, and then hoped with her in a car that left the
place on a great speed.
What was the point in being able to now talk to Duo, if the amethyst eyed guy would only see him like a friend
and that was it.
Heero walk home. He got to the kitchen and help himself to the refrigerator. There was a note in there.
Heero, I'll be late home, don't wait for me. There's spagetti and chocolate puding in case you are
hungry... Luv. Mom
Heero sigh and open the refrigerator. He took out an orange juice carton and pour some on a glass. As
he take sips of juice, he stare at his mother's note.
She was never home... Her work appeared to be the most important thing in her life. Heero knew that
was the reason why his father left her. There was no space in her mother's heart for anyone.
Heero walk out and return with a pen in his hand. He walk to the note and write something.
Mom... I made it to the football team... and I think I'm in love... with other guy.
Heero look at what he had just wrote and then take the note off the refrigerator. He made sure to
tear it in little pieces and when he was done, he threw it to the waste basquet.
After taking a bath, Heero hop in his bed. He was so tired with all that training and sleep was winning him.
As he was being taken to the world of dreams, he found himself thinking again of him. Duo... Just
like he'd thought back then... He was unreachable... So unpredictable and iresistable. Heero knew that
this night he'll dream on the amethyst eyed boy... Because Duo was an impossible dream.
