Part Seven
Michiki and Chardae could not believe their eyes. Heero actually kissed Duo! The sight is just too much for Kodomi to bear. She and Hilde let out an exaggerated sigh before turning away to give Heero and Duo whatever privacy they needed.
After a moment or two, Heero pulls back leaving Duo in a dazed state. Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei just stand there amazed at Heero's bravery and briefly act as if nothing happened. Duo gave Heero a flustered look before frowning and storming away from the group.
"Looks like he's upset about something," Trowa says breaking the silence that followed. "Maybe he wasn't really ready?"
Michiki slowly shakes her head in disagreement. She knew better.Duo is still in a moment of shock and confusion.too much for him to handle at the moment.
~*~
The next day at school.
Michiki gets to her first class early receiving a roaring applause from her classmates. After bowing a few times, she takes her seat and the teacher begins to settle the class down. Half of the class is out for student government purposes. The class decides to begin a round of Trivial Pursuit.
The teacher asks the questions and the scorekeeper, in this case Heero, writes the score on the board. The teacher asks a question on which planet weighs a certain amount. One of the boys in the class, named Alex, says that the only person who comes near such a weight is Laura. Laura answers the question correctly by stating that the answer was the Earth and promptly smacked Alex in the back of the head for teasing.
The teacher asks another question and the same boy insults Elvis Presley. The teacher, who is a fan of Presley, counters that he will feed the senior to the throb of 600 freshmen for lunch if he dares to insult the King again.
Throughout the entire game, Valerie in the back constantly chatters with her friend in too high of a voice. The teacher sweatdrops and asks another question.
While the class plays, Heero puts up the scores. The teacher, who is not even playing, has too many points. Heero makes fun of Laura by putting her name up as "50,000 tons" instead of "Laura" which tempts a few remarks from her side of the room. The teacher tells Heero to give Gilbert minus eight points and Heero writes "Gimpbell: -8points" with a quote that reads "Way to go!" The last question is asked and Valerie screeches an "Ahhhhhhhhh! I know the answer! Himself!" Heero writes "Shut up Valerie: 2 points" with an accompanying quote of "Ahhhhhhhhhhh." All the while, Michiki and Duo snicker in the background.
~*~
In the meanwhile, Trowa and Quatre sit in Chemistry class with the class taking notes. The boy who sits in front of Trowa asks if he can borrow a pen. Trowa hands the boy a purple pen.
"Are you nuts? A purple pen?" the boy starts, "Do I look queer to you? Where did you get this pen from, your girlfriend?"
Trowa nods his head towards Quartre who is a desk or two ahead.and color-coding his notes with neon colored pens. The boy in front of Trowa facefaults in despair. Quatre continues to write his notes in different colors, oblivious to what is happening around him.
In another class, we find Wufei, Chardae, and Hilde. The teacher calls out the answers to the previous night's homework when another teacher distracts her. Chardae and Hilde steal this opportunity to chatter to each other about the gossip of the day. The teacher comes back only to tell the class that she is going to leave the room for a while.
"MISS J BE LEAVING US!" one of the kids exclaim hopelessly.
The teacher comes back and continues with the lesson; every now and then scolding Wufei whom leans his chair back while writing down the homework. Wufei does not listen to her and she gives up. A few minutes later the teacher speaks once more.
"I know that the grades of some of you are at the borderline hoping that something will happen." she begins but is interrupted by Wufei commenting.
"Border-line indeed, I want my 99.9% to be a hundred!" Wufei brags.
"Aw man, shut up Wufei!" the class complains united in envy.
"Music to my ears," Wufei grins at the insults flying his way.
The next moment, the class forgets completely about grades as they take notes and try to stay awake.most of them already asleep. The teacher was about to explain a certain problem when a loud "BANG!" is heard in the right back corner of the room. Wufei had fallen back, rolled over a desk, and hit the floor hard. The class errupts in laughter.even the teacher couldn't keep from laughing.
"Oh Wufei.ha ha ha.that was perfect for a Friday!" the teacher gasps. "You're ok though, right?"
Wufei gets up embarrassed and nods. . Chardae and Hilde snicker in the back.

In the math class across the hall is Kodomi and her friend Shane trying to do their math homework before the bell rings so they can have the rest of the afternoon off. One of their classmates has his head down as if sleeping. The teacher continuously calls on him in an effort to wake him up. After several minutes, the teacher approaches him and finds the reason for his lack of attention.he was listening to a CD player.
The teach snatches the headphones from the boy's head and continues her teaching.
~*~
FINALLY lunchtime frees the gang for the time being. Hilde, Wufei, and Kodomi make a mad dash towards the lunch line that seems to get longer and longer and longer.and longer.
While in the lunch line, Kodomi decides to ask about her friend Shane.
"Have you two seen her around?" Kodomi asks.
"No, never heard of her," Hilde replies.
"That's a first," Wufei smirks. Hilde thwacks him in the back of the head.
"You're being too much of a smart-ass today, Wuffie," she says with an evil grin. "Don't you think so too, Kodomi?"
"Yeah, you're right," Kodomi answers. "Maybe an ambush will make him get back down from that egotistical cloud that he's been riding all day on."
Kodomi and Hilde exchange an evil glance before rubbing their hands together and giving Wufei a tickle-attack.
In THIRD lunch, however, we find a lost-looking Shane searching for a place to sit. Heero bumps into her and helps her by telling her that she is allowed to sit with the gang. Shane accepts the invitation and sits next to Chardae and Michiki.
"Hey, are you new?" Chardae asks.
"I'm just back from a long break." Shane says.
"A long break?" Trowa wonders.
"Yeah, I've been at a funeral for a while now," Shane finishes.
"Oooooh," they all reply.
"Well, welcome back," Quatre beams at her.
Entering through one of the doors of the cafeteria, Relena Peacecraft sneaks around the tables in an attempt not to be found. Heero spots her anyway and warns the gang that he may leave at a moment's notice.
In the middle of eating her lunch, Shane turns a bit blue in hue.
"Are you feeling ok?" Duo asks.
"I'm dizzy." Shane muses.
Relena saunters closer to the table and suddenly, she pounces on Heero.just at that moment, Shane hurls all over Relena.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWW!" Relena exclaims.
Michiki and Chardae laugh. Heero pushes Relena away before Relena herself runs out of the cafeteria and to the bathroom.
"It must be the school food," a voice sounds from behind the gang.
They all turn around to find Zechs looking at the doors to the cafeteria in amusement. Chardae ducks under the table in embarrassment. Shane gives Zechs a starry-eyed look and mutters."magnificent."
"Excuse me?" Zechs wonders aloud.
"Oh nothing," Shane says while blushing.
"Which reminds me, I could have sworn I saw Chardae a few moments ago.have you seen her?" Zechs asks.
"She-" Shane began. Michiki covers Shane's mouth.
"She had to go to her locker for something!" Michiki lies.
"Oh," Zechs says disappointedly before walking away.
When Zechs covers enough distance, Duo speaks up.
"The coast is clear, Chardae," Duo explains.
Chardae crawls up from her place under the table and turns to glare at Shane.
"I'll beat yo whore ass down if you fuck with my man!" Chardae storms off.
"Is it just me or are you rubbing off on Chardae, Heero?" Michiki contemplates. "I mean, I could have sworn that she just mastered the Yuy death glare!"
Michiki and Chardae could not believe their eyes. Heero actually kissed Duo! The sight is just too much for Kodomi to bear. She and Hilde let out an exaggerated sigh before turning away to give Heero and Duo whatever privacy they needed.
