I couldn't believe the jackpot we had found! I also couldn't believe that they would just leave this in the room s unprotected!
I scrolled down the page and found the full history of Duo's life. Half way through my eyes got heavy and I noticed that Riona had already fallen asleep. I saved it to another disk, just to have an extra copy and shut down the computer. I took my Journal/Diary and put the extra disk in there hoping that if they ever came looking for it that it would be safe in their. Than I took the original and put it under the mattress. I got into my pjs and yawned. Rubbing my eyes sleepily I climbed into bed. We still had to search the rooms of the other four-gundam pilots. My face twisted into a hard frown at the thought of what they had planned to do to us and might still do. I might be mute but I was no wimp this would come out my way or no way at all.
The next morning we had school. I got into the shower letting the cold water hit my skin. Then I put on my school uniform brushing my hair until all the tangles from the night before were gone. Riona came out in her school uniform and I helped her braid her hair.
Our first classes of the day were gymnastics and fencing, but before we went we both reported to Sally. Once there she removed my cast and Riona's and sent us on our way. We seemed to be lucky because none of the adults from gundam wing were giving us a hard time. I was turning the corner to fencing class when I saw Wufie. As casual as possible I walked past him trying to look as if I was lost in thought, deep thought. I could feel him glaring at me and walked faster till I was inside. I sighed and went to get my sword. I put on helmet and paired up with a regular student in the class, one I hadn't fought before. Dorothy looked a little put out but then paired up with Quatra.
It was an easy win and I felt angry that I had give up a good fence because of those stupid gundam pilots. There they were again messing things up for me. I growled under my breath and stabbed at my second opponent, knocking him to the ground and winning the match.
Mariemaya came up to me later and pulled me aside.
"Hatoru, do you think you are ready for the tournament this Wednesday?" I nodded and bowed. She smiled a sweet smile and then landed the killer question.
"Well then that's wonderful! But just in case, tomorrow after your last class come down here and you, Dorothy, Wufie, and Quatra can practice privately. Would that be could for you?"
I swallowed hard and nodded, forcing myself to smile. Inside I knew that if they were ever going to question or…*gulp* silence me it would be then.
I figured my fate was sealed so I walked up to Dorothy and challenged her and before the end of the class we were both panting heavily and our match was declared a tie. I made my way to the locker room and put away my helmet and sword carefully and turned around only to find Wufie behind me glaring. I glared back and pushed past him. I felt bad because I knew that we would never really be friends, especially not a couple. I shook myself as I thought of us walking together in the gardens; it was a silly and stupid idea.
Hatoru
knew. The others would still have to check Riona but I could tell that Hatoru
knew. I followed her to her locker and watched as she put away her sword. She
looked very tense and jumpy. She turned and noticed me. I glared. I saw
emotions pass over her eyes before she angrily glared back and pushed pass me.
I could understand the glare but…but the emotions had been sad and even angst.
I watched her leave and stuck my hands in my pockets.
"So what do you think?" Quatra.
"Tomorrow night" I growled.
I left feeling tired.
Grim faced I headed to the gym to meet up with Riona. Classes were over today, at least for us. I only had one day before I would have to face up or put up and I planned to get that info for our plan even if I died trying.
