Chapter Five
Duo found himself violently woken the next morning. Wufei had come in to wake him up by flipping the mattress and sending Duo to the floor.
"What the --!"
"Get up, Maxwell. We aren't going to be late this time," Wufei said.
"Eh? What time is it, Wufei?"
"It is 5:30."
"WHAT!?"
"Now get ready," Wufei said walking out the door. He paused right before exiting the room. "Oh, and don't get back into bed," he said as Duo was climbing back into the bed. "Unless you want to find that precious braid of yours
lying next to you not attached to your head."
With that, Wufei left the room and headed down stairs. Duo grabbed his braid protectively.
"Dare threaten my braid!" He yelled, "You touch it and I'll kill you! You hear me? I'll kill you!"
Duo stopped screaming after Wufei and started getting ready for school, grumbling curses of all sorts. He grabbed some clothes and slowly changed. He looked at the clock, '6:07'. He sat down and sighed, It's too early in the morning. Why did I agree to go to this blasted school? He yawned and leaned back in the computer chair. Well, Wufei said the bed, he never even mentioned the chair. Duo closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"MAXWELL!"
"NANI?!"
Duo jumped out of the chair but was quickly yanked back down.
"Ow! Let go Wufei!"
"I told you not to fall back to sleep," Wufei said, holding his sword and getting ready to cut off Duo's braid.
"You said the bed! You never even mentioned the chair! Now, let go!"
Duo waved his hands madly and his eyes watered from the tight grip Wufei had on his braid.
"Er... fine, but next time you aren't going to be to talk your way out of it," Wufei said, roughly letting go of Duo's braid.
Duo snatched it out of Wufei's hand and glared at him.
"Duo! Wufei! It's 7:08. Come on!" Trowa called up to them.
"Aw, man! We are gonna be late again. Thanks a lot Wufei."
Duo ran out of the room before Wufei could react to what Duo said. He ran downstairs, grabbed his stuff and ran outside right into Quatre. Both ended up on the ground.
"Ouch. Thanks, Duo. I always wanted to end up on the ground in the morning."
"No problem, Quatre," Duo joked. He got up and helped Quatre up. "Sorry, Quatre. I really didn't see you."
"A little eager to get to school, Duo?"
"Eh, a little. It's a great place. Plus, the school is mostly girls! Why would I not be happy? I mean, aren't you?"
"Well, yeah."
"I should hook you guys up with some girls."
"Quatre rolled his eyes as the walked up the road to the bus stop. "You don't know anyone, Duo. How can you hook us up?"
"Simple! I get to know the girls. I already got someone planned for you."
"Nani!?" Quatre stopped and stared at Duo in disbelief. "Are you serious, Duo?"
"Of coarse, Quatre!" Duo grinned at him. "Now come on the bus is coming."
"Who is it though?"
"You'll find out, Quatre, my friend. I don't even know if she is free or not."
"Oh," Quatre sounded disappointed.
The other three were waiting at the bus stop as Duo and Quatre arrived. The bus showed up over the hill and slowed down. The lights flicked on and the bus stopped in front of the five teens. Duo got on first followed by Quatre, Wufei, Trowa and Heero. Duo noticed Crystal was already sitting with some one. He couldn't find Kim anywhere so he sat down next to a young boy who was in the seat in front of Crystal. The young boy was asleep and had on an 'aggie' baseball cap. The kid shot awake as Duo sat down.
"Sorry kid."
"Er..."
The kid put his head against the seat in front of him and fell back asleep. Duo looked at the kid strangely. He was than aware that three people were laughing at him. He looked at behind him and found Crystal, the girl next to her and the girl across from them, laughing. Duo stared at them with confusion.
"Hey, Duo. You just met my little brother, Nick," Crystal said pointing to the boy next to him.
"Oh," Duo said looking at the other two girls laughing.
"OH! This is Lindsey," Crystal pointed to the girl next to her. "And that's Nicole!" She pointed to the other girl.
"HI!" Lindsey said very energetically.
"Hi!" Duo said back. He turned to Nicole, "So your Nicole! I'm Duo! We talked on-line!"
"Oh yeah! Hi!"
"I'll introduce you to the guys later. They don't like being bothered in the morning sometimes."
"I see," Nicole said.
Quatre was in the seat before Nicole. He turned around and faced her, "I'm not cranky in the morning." He held out his hand, "Mine name is Quatre Raberba Winner."
"Hi," Nicole said, shaking his hand.
"Hi!" Lindsey waved.
"Hey Quatre. How are you today?" Crystal asked.
"Fine, thanks for asking." Quatre smiled.
Lindsey eyed one of the young boys in front of Duo. He had very long brown bangs that hung over his face. The one eye she could see was a magnificant green. He was talking to a Chinese boy that was sitting next to him. He had dark hair pulled back into a tight pony tail. He had dark, mysterious eyes. Both Lindsey found very attractive. She just stared at them.
"Lindsey? Wohoo! Earth to Lindsey!" Crystal waved her hand in front of her friend.
"What?" Lindsey said, breaking out of her gaze.
"What ya doing?"
"Nothing!" She said, blushing slightly.
Nicole piped in, "I know what you was doing, Lindsey. You were checking out those two." Nicole pointed to Trowa and Wufei. Duo stared with one eye brow raised and the two turned around.
"Us?" They said in unison.
Lindsey turned bright red and practically screamed, "I was not!"
"Lindsey," George warned.
"Sorry George." Lindsey shrunk in her seat. "It isn't even the beginning of school and all ready I'm getting into trouble!"
"Sorry Lindsey."
"It's OK."
The bus turned into the school driveway. Wow how time flies when your having fun! Crystal thought as she gathered her stuff and prepared to get off the bus. The bus slowed to a stop and Crystal got off. She said bye to Lindsey, Nick, and Nicole and headed to the gym, with the five guys trailing, to get their schedules
