The Bully's Girl and I
Chapter 3
Quatre spent the entire day sulking about his after school detention that he "won". All day bigger and stronger kids picked on him and tried to beat him up. Quatre tried to avoid the bathrooms because that is where the bullies would wait to pick on weaker kids like say, uh Quatre. Eventually, the end of the day came and he only had one black eye and three black and blues. Time for detention, he yelled and then sighed to himself. He gathered his books and dropped them in his backpack. Quatre was on his way to detention with Mr. Chang, when a beautiful, green haired, green eyed, girl stood before him, her shoulder length hair appeared to dance and float in the wind even though there was no wind in the hallway. She was wearing a forest green jacket over a light pastel colored short sleeved shirt. She was also wearing denim green bootcut pants with glitter on them. He stopped before her and she said to him, "Hello, Mr. Winner."
Quatre thought to himself, 'I can't believe that someone as popular as this girl would want to talk with a nerd like me. I am really surprised that she knows my name!'
Quatre nodded towards Noin "Hello, Noin. How are you doing today?" How cheesy can he get!
"Wonderful! Too bad we got detention though. Mr. Chang is a real tough one." We? Quatre started to think this was going to be a pretty good detention after all!
During detention Quatre and Noin made a date to see a movie called "Love is War" at eight o' clock that night.
The next day at school, Zex Marquis approached Quatre and with a very unsatisfied and "I'm ready to beat up Quatre" look on his face. Quatre looked up at Zex, almost right in front of him and shuddered a little. Zex was one of the strongest and tallest bullies in Orange Star Junior High! Even bullies were afraid of that bully! But the thing is that he only picked on people when he actually had a reason. Quatre was shivering in his pants when he decided to speak to the towering monkey. "H-h-hey Zex!"
"Don't 'Hey Zex' me buddy," he growled, "You've been messin around with Noin, haven't ya?"
"Noin is your girl?" Quatre gulped. "I had no idea! Honestly Mr. Marquis!"
"Yeah, well it better not happen again, now will it 'Mr. Winner'?" Zex pushed Quatre's head into the bathroom door and walked off to his class, wiping his hands off as if he had just done some dusting.
Noin then ran into the boy's bathroom where Quatre was sitting. "Quatre! Look I'm sorry, I didn't know Zex was going to hurt you! I don't even know how he found out. Honestly!" Noin's face did look pretty serious and apologetic.
"Um, its ok I guess. I get roughed up a lot but why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend, Noin?"
"I just saw your face and I wanted you all to myself! I get that way sometimes, it must have just slipped my mind, I guess."
Suddenly the handle began to turn. Someone was coming! He shoved Noin into a stall and told her to keep quiet. He heard a very familiar man's voice, mumbling to himself. Oh great, just what everyone would need right now, Quatre of all people knew that voice anywhere, it was Zex! Zex seemed to know where everyone was at every damned time! Zex kicked open the door and looked from Noin back to Quatre a few times, each time his expression gained more anger. He pushed Quatre against the toilet and told Noin to leave. Noin cried out, "C'mon Zex! He didn't do anything, it's all my fault! Don't do this!"
"Don't' try to blame yourself, just leave and I'll take care of this asshole," Zex replied, nodding his head as if he was agreeing with himself. Noin burst into tears and ran out of the room. Zex started to say, "You're gunna wish you nev --," he stopped short when the Principal walked in with Noin at his side. The Principal was Dr. J, the man who created Heero's Gundam.
"Hello boys." He looked angrier than Quatre has ever seen him before, actually Dr. J is never angry! "And what have we got here? A fight is it? You Zex have just cut the last straw with beating up any student who looks at Noin! I can't take your behavior anymore son, all I can say is…YOU'RE EXPELLED! As for you, Qautre," his anger fell like it just melted off of his face, "I hope he hasn't terribly hurt you this time," That was all his said as he dragged Zex Marquis off.
"Noin, I don't know exactly what that was all about but I still like you a lot." Quatre leaned over and closed the bathroom door. "I like you so much that I love you."
