*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The whole Gundam Gang walked out the cafe together, Relena in the lead, her face crisom and head bowed. Because of that, she crashed right into someone.
"Are you alright?" asked a male voice.
"Yes, I'm fine. Sorry for crashing into you. I wasn't looking where i was going." she answered. She looked up to see the handsomest guy she'd ever seen.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"It's alright. Maybe I'm very lucky to bump into you." he said cheerfully, making her blush. He had pale blond hair and bluish-gray eye. "My name is Zeke (A/N: No I didn't misspell Zechs. I didn't even know that my description matched until my sis brought it up. Weird huh?), by the way." He held out a hand. She took it and he helped her up.
"I'm Relena."
There was silence as the two just stared at each other.
"C'mon, Relena, we're gonna be late!" called Catherine. The whole GG (A/N: I've given up typing the whole thing) was staring at Relena and Zeke. Their faces were amused as they looked on. Relena looked down in embarassment. She saw that they were still holding hands. Quickly, she pulled away, said a hasty good-bye and join the group.
*~*~After School~*~*
"Do you know who you bumped into a lunch?" asked Catherine. She and the other girls were walking home from school. The guys trailed a couple yards behind.
"Well, he said his name was Zeke," Relena said. "Why? Is he important?"
"He is the Zeke Miller, mega hunk of ----- High. You were very fortunate to have bumped into him," said Dorothy.
"Yeah," Relena said dryly. "I have a knack of bumping into guys."
"Cute ones, too," remarked Hilde.
They all laughed when Relena blushed furiously.
"Anyway, how did you learn to kick like you do? From what Duo told me, it took a lot of practice."
"Um..well, my dad works for the gvernment so I have to learn self-defence in case something happens. My teacher...."
*~*~The Guys' Conversation~*~*
"Hey Heero, know what you missed at lunch today?" asked Duo.
"A good sloppy joe," declared Wufei.
"Don't know, don't care." Heero replied.
"Even if it had to do with Relena?" Duo knew he had him there.
Heero glanced at Duo.
"What about her?" he asked casually.
"Well, after you ran of when the bell rang, Relena bumped into that guy-what's his name?-uh...Geek Mile or something."
"Zeke Miller," corrected Quatra.
"Whatever." Dou rolled his eyes. Anyway, I think they really hit it off. Better than you at least."
Heero remained silent. He just stared at Relena's turned back. She glanced back and their eyes met for a split second until she look away.
*~*~Back to the Girls~*~*
"So, where do you live, Relena?"
"Uh, I think it's something like 1310 Lupe Ave. It's a corner house."
They stared at her.
"What???"
"You live right next to Zeke and a corner away from Heero," Dorothy declared. "What luck."
"WHAT?!?" Relena was in shock. She knew the guys were staring, but she didn't care. "My life is really messed up."
"Hey, is that your house?" Hlde asked, her eyes as round as saucers.
They were standing in front of a HUGE mansion that was scattered with roses.
"Yeah. That's my room." Relena pointed to the balcony on the left. "Do you guys wanna come in for a while?Please?"
"Let's check with the guys." Catherine turned around and called to the boys, "Hey guys! Wanna stop at Relena's house for a lil' bit?"
"Where's her house?" asked Trowa.
She pointed to the mansion. The guys stared.
"OK! Let's go," Duo said cheerfully. He nudged Heero. "You sure know how to pick a girl."
Heero glared at him.
"Well, let's go." They trooped through the HUGE garden and into Relena's house.
A maid opened the door and ushered them in, promising to bring some snacks to the den.
Relena led them to a big room filled with soft sofas and cherry wood table with matching chairs.
"Make yourselves comfortable," said Relena, smiling at their stunned faces.
"That won't be very hard," muttered Trowa.
"I'll go get the food." Relena exited the room.
"Gee, I didn't know she was this rich," remarked Hilde.
"She sure doesn't act like it," agreed Dorothy.
"You're lucky she likes you, and not that Zeke guy," said Duo said to Heero.
""Oh yeah. How can you be so sure?" asked Catherine.
"Huh? You mean it's not true? She likes that Zeke guy?"
"I don't know. But when we told her that she lived right next to him and around the corner from Heero she said her life was really messed up. Whatever that means."
"Girls are so weird," declared Duo.
"And guys are so stupid." Relena walked in smiling. She was wearing a white and yellow spring dress that went just above the knees. She carried a big plate with a HUGE mountain of snacks. Behind her the housekeeper carried the drinks.
"So right." The girls agreed in usion. They laughed out loud.
"Nice dress," commented Dorothy.
"Thanks,"Relena blushed.
"Well, you guys had better get some snacks before Wufei eats them all."
They all lunged for the plate.
"After you finish I'll give you a tour of the house," Relena said cheerfully. I won't have to wait long, she thought, amused.
"That's my parents room. This is the second floor kitchen. And um..." her guests seemed bored. "Anyone wanna go to the arcade."
"HUH?!? YOU HAVE YOUR OWN ARCADE???? YOU ARE SO COOL!!"
"Eh heh heh," Relena sweat dropped at them as zoomed into the room.
"THIS IS SOOOO COOL!! AND IT'S ALL FREE!!!!!" Duo was ecstatic. He truned to Relena. "Do we win prizes?"
Hilde smacked his head. "Don't be so greedy!"
*Relena sweat drops at the couple (anime style)*
"Well, if you want to we can stay here until you guy gotta go."
"YEAH!!!"
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Author's Note: I wish I had an arcade room. *sigh* Anyway.....
Now you know that Relena's filthy rich. Sure doesn't show, huh? And she neighbors with the most popular guy in the school. Isn't she lucky?
Please R+R!
