Chapter 2

Can you? Can you see me? Can you hear me? Can you feel me? Can you feel my heart beating?

Tell me. Tell me how you feel. Tell me what I have done wrong. Tell me what is on your mind!

Tell me what is in your heart...

"A new student has just transferred to our class. What is your name, hun?" the professor asked.

She stepped forward.

"My name is Relena Peacecraft. Nice to meet you all."

**

My name is Heero Yuy. It's a pleasure.

**

"Ok Relena. Take the empty seat next to Heero."

The mention of that name…surprised her, but she managed to keep calm.

She walked up towards the seat. She sat down as soon as she got there.

"Hello, Heero"

"Hello."

"I never would have thought for you to take psychology."

"People change with time."

"I agree, but not always."

Was she trying to hint something? Something even she is unaware of?

Class went through. It was not boring though. Psychology had always interested Relena. She liked to know how and what people think.

**

"So, after all of those career questionaires, what do you want to be when you graduate from university?"

"A psychologist."

He laughed.

"Rel, are you serious?"

"Yes, I think it's a good job. I can help other people with their problems."

"I'd rather be an athlete."

She rolled her eyes. "Boys will be boys."

"Well, that's what I'm good at."

"And about the only thing you're good at."

"Excuse me, but who is the top student in the computer engineering class, Miss psycho?"

"Hey! It's psychologist. And yes, I know it's you."

He gave her a peck on the cheek.

"Ok, Miss psychologist. I'm going to be late for track practice. I'll see you later."

"Alright." She smiled as she watched him run off.

Relena smiled to herself.

Those were the old days.

Relena walked to the Cafeteria. She had had a long morning. Psychology was first period. Second period, she had law. It was quite boring. The teacher went on and on. He was dull and repetitive. As she walked into the cafeteria, she wondered about where to sit today. She had missed the first week of school and it was only her second day here. All the other students were from this area and therefore had their own bunch of friends to hang out with. Actually, this University was quite close to her old neighbourhood, but the school was an academy that expected a lot from their students. She did not see any of her old friends around. Well, she saw a few, but she hadn't been exactly close to them. She was ready to pay for her lunch after going through the lunch line in thought.

"I'm terribly sorry, but can I go get my wallet from my car. It's just really close."

"I'm afraid not, you're holding up the line. You'll have to line up again."

"But, please ma'am, I really don't have the time to line up again!" The girl was pink in the face from embarrassment.

"How much does it cost?" Relena saw the girl in trouble and decided to help her.

"Five fifty."

Relena handed over five fifty and the cost of her own lunch.

The lunch lady nodded to signal that it was the right amount. Both girls walked out of the line with their trays.

"Thank you so much! I owe it to you."

"You're welcome. It was nothing."

"Say, are you new around here?"

"Yes, I am."

"Would you like to eat lunch with my friends and I? I'm Angela Blanchard. My friends call me Angel though."

"Nice to meet you, Angel. I'm Relena Peacecraft."

"Relena? Well, would you like to eat lunch with us?"

"I would love to."

"Great! C'mon, let's go!"

"The two girls walked towards an almost full table.

"Guys, this is Relena. She's new around here. She helped me pay for my lunch. Relena, this is Gigi, Roger, Melissa, Andy, Jessica, Valerie, Dave and Jacqueline. Here have a seat."

They all exchanged their greetings.

"Hey Relena, didn't you used to go to Trabia?" Jacqueline asked.

"Yes...hey, you're Jackie!"

"Yup, and remember? That's Dave, Andy and Mel!"

"I do! Long time no see guys!"

"Still as pretty, Rel." Andy said with a smile and a wink.

Relena blushed. They were all very good friends of hers and they always used to hang out.

"We're all from Trabia, but we probably came after you left." Angel explained.

"That's what must have happened. I left at the end of grade ten." Relena said.

"And the rest of us all came during grade eleven."

"Well, I'm glad to see some of my old friends."

"Why don't we get caught up after lunch at the quad?" asked Mel.

"Great." Relena replied.

"Hey, Heero! Where have you been, man?" called out Roger.

In walked Heero. He took the seat next to Angel.

"Hey Heero, I want to introduce you to someone." Angel said.

"Heero, this is Relena. Relena, this is Heero."

"I know Angel." Heero whispered.

"You two know each other?" Angel asked.

"He was part of our group." Dave said quickly.

"Oh, well that's even better!" Angel said.

Lunch continued on.

Angel finished quickly and cleaned up.

"I need to do some research."

She gave Heero a peck on the cheek.

"I'll meet you after school!"

Heero nodded but he looked a bit uncomfortable. Then Angel hurried off. Relena noticed the peck. She felt all funny as she blushed. She quickly finished the rest of her lunch.

"Are you ready to go, Mel and Jackie?" Relena asked quietly.

"Yup, ok, let's go." Jackie said.

The three girls stood up and left the cafeteria. Heero watched Relena's golden locks slip out the door.

A.N.: I'm back and on a roll! Thank you, thank you, thank you x 1000000!!! I know, ten reviews don't sound much but hey, I rarely get so much in two-days time! Hehehehe! Anyway, I shouldn't be updating so much because I'll run out of chapters to post sooner…I'm pretty busy these days. However, keeping my readers happy is my goal!
