CHAPTER 3- Why me?

Mya walked into her first class of the day, science. She stepped into the

room and handed the teacher her schedule. "Miss Nattar is it? Well, this is

good. Now Mr. Yuy won't have to be in a group of three. Please take a seat

right there next to him."

Mya sighed. This was going to be an extremely long class. She took her new

seat next to Heero. He was too busy typing on his laptop to notice. The

teacher came up behind him and snatched it away. "And you, Mr.Yuy, can have this back at the end of class."

Heero was in shock at the removal of his beloved computer. Mya snickered a

little. He shot her one of his famous death glares as the teacher handed out

papers. "Here is your assignment. Look over it and be ready to start it with

your lab partner in three days. Have a great weekend everyone."

Many kids rushed up to the door right away. The bell rung signaling passing

time and everyone at the door piled outside. Mya sighed and walked into the

overly crowded hallway. "This was going to be a long year." She thought. She

would have to put up with the slightly moody pilot all year, not only as a

gundam pilot, but as his science partner.

She dragged her feet to her next class, English. She found sanctuary in

burying her nose in her newest book. Les Miserables was a good fit for her,

and she wouldn't have to put up with anyone else until next period.

Duo skipped down the hall his second period art class. He ran in just making

it before the bell rang. Sitting in his regular chair he began another boring

day of school. This could only be remedied by one thing. He flung a handful

of paint at an unsuspecting girl, hitting her directly in the back of the

head. She started crying when she noticed her beautiful blond hair now a

shade of scarlet red.

"Mr. Maxwell! Go to the principles office now!" the teacher screamed at the

top of her lungs.

Everyone turned at Duo, eyes wide in astonishment. He simply stood up and went

to the doorway. He bowed and exited. The kids' eyes became even wider then

before and the teacher put her head in her hand and sighed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Third period started and Mya down the hallway, nose still in her book. She

was walking until she bumped into someone and they both fell down. "Sorry-"

Mya started to apologize until she looked up. "Well, if it isn't you again?"

Heero stood up. "Yeah, guess I'm just your good luck charm."

"If it was anyone else I would expect something." she said as she stood up

and brushed herself off. Heero handed her book back. "You know, Javert

dies."

"Eh? Why did you tell me that, idiot!" She started chasing him around the

hallway trying to smack him with her book.

"Mr. Yuy! Miss Nattar! I insist you stop this instant!" the hall-monitor

roared above their yells. "And, I expect to see you both in the principle's

office this minute."

Both their faces fell. This was the last thing that they wanted. Not bringing

attention to themselves was why they enrolled, not to bring more attention to

themselves by getting in trouble!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inside the principle's office Duo was getting lectured about classroom

behavior, again. He was gratefully interrupted by a knock at the office door.

Heads hung in despair; Heero and Mya walked inside.

really die? Will we ever figure out if Mya was shamelessly flirting with

Heero, or will she kill him for ruining her story? *Shrugs* I don't know...
