Detention
4/12
Duo
quietly followed Heero up the stairs to the library, lost in his own thoughts.
He
couldn't forget the look on Heero's face moments ago at the fountain. At first
he'd thought Heero has hurt himself somehow but he'd seen something lurking in
those Prussian blue eyes. Something he had never seen before. Duo didn't know
what it was but he was determined to find out, sooner or later.
As
Heero pushed open the wooden library door Duo let his customary smile fall back
into place. He had to concentrate not to let his eagerness how. Believe it or
not, Duo Maxwell loved the library. Old Earth authors like Anne Rice, Robert
Jordan, and Michael Crichton intrigued him. He was particularly fond of the
Vampire Chronicles, which he'd borrowed from Howard months before. He made a
mental note to return them, eventually.
Duo
stepped past Heero and bounded into the library. He stopped dead in his tracks
as his violet eyes were met with an unexpected sight. Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei
were among the seven present occupants of the room. He heard Heero grunt in
annoyance behind him, shaking him from his shocked stupor.
He
waved amicably at the blond Arabian and took a seat near the long row of
windows comprising the far wall. He blinked in surprise as Heero chose a seat
near him. Duo suppressed a grin, it looked like he had a day of Heero-torture
to look forward to.
The
five pilots and four fellow students sat in silence as they waited for the
Principal to arrive. Duo took the opportunity his to study his fellow
detainees. Besides his comrades four other boys occupied the library. Three Duo
recognized from the after school basketball games he and Heero occasioned. They
were jocks, brawny and full of shit. He and Heero could tear them up on the
courts, off the courts he did his best to avoid them. The past had left him
cautious if nothing else. The other was a slightly built boy with limp brown
hair. He seemed a bit nerdy with his horn-rimmed glasses and too large eyes
which avoided eye contact like a medusa's gaze.
Duo
wasn't surprised to find all the students were male. Rumor had it that the
school had prohibited coed detention after a female student got pregnant. It
probably wasn't true but like most rumors it was likely much more interesting a
tale.
Just
then the door flung open and the Headmaster stalked into the room. He glared at
each student in turn before speaking.
"Everyone
of you has been assigned all day detention, for various offenses. You will
remain here in the library for the length of the day. Lunch will be brought to
you at 12:30pm and you will have thirty minutes to eat. If you cooperate you
will be released at 6:00pm. If any problems arise the responsible persons will
receive a three day suspension. Understood?"
No
one responded with more than a nod which seemed to satisfy the Headmaster.
"Good. While you are here you will write an essay on the benefits of discipline
on modern youth. There are pencils and paper on the circulation desk." He
paused and eyed the three jocks suspiciously.
"I
suggest you begin promptly."
With
one last glance for signs of dissent the Headmaster made his way to the door. He exited the library as quickly as he
had entered, the sound of the lock falling into place following soon after. His
heavy-footed steps echoed down the hall till they faded from their range of
hearing.
Several
minutes passed in silence and finally Duo decided he'd had enough. He stood and
stretched lazily, shirt riding up his abdomen a few scant inches. "Well, I'll
be damned if I'm just gonna sit here."
Heero
shot a glare in his direction, "We have to stay in the library."
Duo
nodded, "I know that, oh master of the obvious. But who said we had to sit here
and stare at each other all day?"
"What
are you going to do Duo," Quatre asked, blue-green eyes aglow with curiosity.
He
shrugged, "Explore."
Wufei
scoffed, " I doubt the library supports a section on comic books Maxwell.
Nothing here to interest you."
Across
the room one of the jocks laughed, "Hey, good one chink."
"Excuse
me?," Wufei demanded rising quickly to his feet.
Before
the six foot mass of muscle could respond Heero was on his feet. He placed a
restraining hand on the chinaman's shoulder and layered his best glare at the
other boy.
"Fighting
is counterproductive to our goal."
The
apparent leader of the jocks laughed, "And what the hell is this so-called goal
Yuy?"
Prussian
blue eyes narrowed menacing, "For you, making it through the day unharmed."
