Chapter 28 - Art Class part 1

Around 5:00 pm that evening, everyone piled into the van once again to make their way to art class. Steph sat next to Quatre. An evil smirk played upon her lips.

"You know Quatre, the art class is historical. Especially the carpet. The carpet is alive and when you're not looking, can take something, try to trip you when you're walking and who knows what else." Steph said in a spooky voice. Quatre looked around with unease.

"Ah, don't mind her Quatre. We haven't lost a kid there since last year. It's pretty safe." Ashley smiled. Kim looked back at Quatre. He was obviously nervous about going there now. She smiled. She wanted to join in.

" Yah, the carpet's kinda creepy. Remember when Lauren found a blade on the carpet that came out of nowhere? Among other things. It just keeps spitting up things. I think there's something going on down there." Kim said. The boys were silent for a minute and laughed.

"That's bull". Duo said and looked to Heero who nodded in agreement.

"You'll see." The three girls said in unison.

In about 15 minutes, they arrived. Kim unlocked the downstairs door and led the group to the art room. They unlocked the door and threw it open.

"Voila!!" She said and walked over to the switch box to turn on the lights while the group walked in. Duo eyed the funky looking carpet and grinned. He slowly sank down to the floor dramatically.

"It's got me!!!!! Help! NOOOOOOOO..." Do shouted as he began to roll around on the floor. Quatre yelped and ran across the room and perched on a desk. Heero ignored the two and went exploring. Suddenly, he stumbled.

"Damn it!" he sad and looked around. Then he glared at the carpet. "Oh yah?" he said and reached for his gun. Kim never had time to stop him before he started shooting the floor like a mad man. Then they heard the unmistakable footsteps pf Christa. She stopped dead in her tracks and just looked around in disbelief as Duo continued to roll around at Christa's feet. She tapped her foot as her already red cheeks grew redder. She played with her short dark hair. She looked from Duo on the floor to trigger happy Heero shooting the shit out of the carpet than finally to Quatre cowering on the desk.

"STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!" Christa bellowed. Everything stopped dead and an awkward silence descended upon the group. Just then, Trowa walked up behind Christa. He looked around.

"Looks like someone dropped a bomb in here."

Close enough." Chrissy said glared at the boys.

"Oh hey Chrissy." Kim and Ashley said as they walked by her cautiously. "We'd like you to meet our boyfriends." They said.

"Charmed." Chrissy said rather pissed. They all got to work to clean it up. Around 6:15, the students began to show up. First, Lauren, Samone and Kassi. They looked at the boys and grinned. They walked up to them and smiled sweetly. "Well, who are you." they said and winked.

"SIT!" Kim and Ashley shouted. The students jumped and obeyed reluctantly but not before giving the two girls intense glares. They glared back.

"Hey who are they?" Cassandra asked as she and her friend Shawne walked into class.

"They're out boyfriends." they said smiling. Meanwhile the boys just sat on the couch and set up the N64 and put in Zelda. They could hear the faint sounds of the game as they played.

"Ok guys, today we are doing mechas." Chrissy said with a huge smiled plastered across her face. This caught the boy's attention and they took a seat next to the students. They soon moved back a few seats when they noticed some of the students sending suggestive glances at them. Well, first you start out with the skeleton......" Chrissy began. Steph, Kim and Ashley sat and watched patiently. They were to teach in the second half of class. "Then you draw the outline......and then add what ever you want." She said as she demonstrated and then elaborated.

"Hold on." Duo said as he examined the picture. "Well, it's great and all but don't you think that this should go here??? Come to thing of it...." Duo said to himself as he began to modify her drawing.

"Well, you know if you add this..." Heero commented and joined Duo.

"Hey guys....SIT DOWN!!!!!! It is my class and you can not tell me how to teach it!" Chrissy complained.

"One sec Chrissy." Quatre looked at her, daring to stand on the carpet. "If you change this to here then it would probably have a better chance of working right guys?" He asked. "Hey Q that would be great."

By the time they had finished, there was a new Gundam design on the small dry erase board. Chrissy sighed as she looked at Kim. "What time is it?" "Time for break." She replied with a sheepish grin on her face as if to silently apologize to her. Chrissy sighed and nodded with agreement. The kids jumped up from their seats and flung their arms in the air. "I wanna go with you this time. No I wanna go...." They shouted. Heero grinned and whispered to Duo. "I don't know how she can handle all these kids and keep her sanity." Duo chuckled. "I think it's cute." Quatre objected. "That's my Quatre." Steph cooed as she flung her arms around him and gave him a huge bear hug.

"Cassandra! You can come this time. The rest of you be good while me and Ashley are gone."

She took their orders, grabbed her keys and they left Cassandra closely at toe.

"Hey there......What's your name cutie?" a dark haired girl walked up to Heero.

"Um.......My name is Heero."

"Perfect." She said and winked at him suggestively.

"Yah, You know your hot." Jackie said in matter of fact voice.

"Can I see your gun?" Lauren asked and reached behind Heero (his gun was in his back pocket)

Heero Jumped. He glanced over at Duo and Quatre who were having their own problems.

"Hey hey there cutie." Kayla said as she walked up to face him. Kassi was following right behind her.

"Can I play with your hair?" Kassi asked as she ran behind him and wrapped hand around his braid.

"NO!" He said and pushed her away but she just came back. Then kayla began to send "gestures" Duo's way as he tried to ignore then desperately.

Samone walked up to Quatre. Steph glared at her. Quatre was already blushing.

"What I just wanted to talk to him." Samone said.

"Yah sure you just wanted to talk." Steph said and rolled her eyes. Samone gave in and went to join her friends with the other boys who were now covered in kids. Quatre stayed untouched. Steph wouldn't let any of the students get at him.

"Ok guys! Come get your....." Ashley began.

"Oh my" Kim said. They ran up and flung their arms over their boyfriends. "No touchie!"

The kids glared at their teachers and obeyed.

"Your no fun Timbit." Lauren said. Kim just turned red.

"Yah Snickendoodle, we just wanted to have some fun with them.

Heero looked at her and grinned. He was glad that she had "saved" him but he couldn't help but want to poke fun. Duo was grinning and even Quatre's face displayed the slightest signs of a smile. However, it was Steph who laughed at first.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha........ Timbit? Snickendoodle? Ha ha that's......great.....ha ha ha"

Kim's face went red. Ashley started laughing at that point too. And the rest joined in. She sent a warning glare to Heero. He never joined in on the laughter. Becides, laughing wasn't his thing and he would pay for it later anyway.

"Guys I can hear you in the hall!!!" Christa came in and bellowed.

"Where were you?" Kim asked.

"In the bathroom. What was going on here?"

"You don't wanna know." Kim said. That started a fresh lapse of laughter.

"Shut up!" she shouted and then there was silence. After a moment, class resumed, this time with Kim and Ashley teaching.

"Now, Weaponary." Kim said as she write it on the board.

"You spelled that wrong." Lauren said. "I really missed you Lauren" Kim said as she turned her attention to the board and fixed the spelling. "You really helped my grammar and spelling."

"Ah huh." She said and nodded.

Duo sat in one of the desks, tapping a pencil. This was really working on Chrissy's nerves. He suddenly began to whistle a tune as he tapped to it. Chrissy snapped and brought a metal ruler down hard on his hand. He quickly pulled away and cradled his now bright red hand. The print of the ruler was engraved on the back of it. As he walked away to join his two friends he muttered under his breath. "Geese, your scary."

Then suddenly, Steph ran into the cube pulling Quatre along with her. (The cube is a room, kind of like an office in the class.) She closed the door and they went silent. Ashley grinned. "At least the cube comes in handy for something." Then they heard a bang on the wall. Christa sighed and banged on the cube door. "No fooling around in there!!!!!" She yelled. "We won't Steph replied." The rest of the group grinned. They knew what they were up to. "At least their out of my way in there." Chrissy said. And walked away and sat down on the couch. Then Dup and Heero caught her eye. They were looking at her How To Draw Manga art books. They were sizing up a nude picture of a mongolian woman. Their eyes wide and grins on their faces. Christa shook her fist at them. "You better not be getting off on my drawing books!!!!"

"Um...NO! Who do you think I am?" Duo said as he dropped the book back into the drawer.

"Please don't make me say what I think you are." Chrissy warned. Duo looked at Heero then back at Chrissy. "You know that she reminds me Relena?" Heero chuckled.

"9:00 people, you can go now!" Duo ran to the door. Ashley grabbed his braid and pulled hard. "Heel boy, you're not going anywhere." "But I don't want to stay here. Not with that." Duo protested.
