Fallen Angels - You! I mean, you clean up nice!

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

Knock, knock, knock! Three knocks. How appropriate. I groaned and looked out the big window that was behind Zechs as he got up and opened the door.

"Sir? You wanted to see me?" This voice is so familiar. I spun around to face a pair of cobalt eyes once again.

"You!" I tried to keep from getting excited but, you know, my mouth is faster than my brain. In an attempt to not completely ruin my chance to talk to him more, I said, "You clean up nice."

He smirked at me before turning back to Zechs. Zechs raised his eyebrow at us. "You two know each other?"

"Yes sir." Was Ren's, or John Charles's, short reply.

"Well, then, that's good, I think. Then John, show Duo around the school. Duo has his schedule and all his locker combinations with him."

"Yes sir." Ren glanced at me before heading out. I thanked Zechs and followed Ren, slowly closing the door after me.

"So John Charles, eh? How you been since the club?" I asked, trying to strike up a conversation.

"Shhh, no one in this school knows I go to clubs so keep it down, will ya?" He nudged me playfully on the shoulder.

Wow, I've never expected him to do that. He seemed so mature at the club, I thought that he was at least four or five years older than I was. Not that I didn't like guys my age, of course.

I chuckled to cover up my surprise. "Sure, Mr. Perfect!" I paused. "I better not talk about your night life or that'll wreck your perfect reputation, eh, Ren?"

"Yeah. Oh, call me John. Ren's my clubbing name."

"Alrighty, John! Does the school now that you are" -I paused- "You know, gay?"

"Nah, that'd make Ms. Peacecraft kick you out of the school. But, you know, Mr. Milliardo is gay. His sister just doesn't know it."

Oh wonderful. Ren, I mean John, has the scoop on Relena. "So this Relena girl, is she in any of your classes?"

He nodded. "All of them."-he paused and looked around; then he whispered quietly-"I don't know how she got into all of them because she's got no brains at all. I suppose her brother slipped her in. She is a snob to her brother. Poor guy. Do you know her?"

Hehehe. This is interesting information." Yeah, unfortunately." I grinned. I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates Relena. "Where to?" I had just realized that we hadn't moved on bit.

"Well, first, I'll show you to your class so where's your schedule?" I handed to him and he scanned it briefly. "Oh wow, you're in most of my classes!" He smiled at me.

I grinned again. Some more time to spend with Ren! Yaaay! "In all honors classes?"

"Yup! You know Duo, you're smarter than you look."

"I take that as an insult!" I said as I stuck out my tongue at him. "Nah, Quatre probably put me in those classes."

"You know Mr. Winner?!"

"Yeah, he's my best friend! How do you know him?"

"Well, he's only the richest and greatest guy on Earth!" Oh yeah, DUH. "And he's kind of cute."

I put my arm around his shoulder and laughed. I agree. Quatre is cute. Then he led me down the hall, passing many classrooms with only about twenty in every class. Every teacher and student dressed in a uniform. I looked down at my girly button shirt, a slightly pink colored jacket, and matching pants.

"Why in the world do we have to wear uniforms?" I asked myself more than I was asking John. But he replied anyway. "Ms. Peacecraft likes the color pink as you would know." I nodded. "And her brother, Mr. Milliardo, is a big push over. He lets her do almost anything she wants." Aaa, I see.

We stopped in front of an elevator and John explained the system of the school. ".Well, the first few levels of the building are for the teachers and secretaries. And as you go up higher, this building has about fifteen levels, the harder the classes are. So since you are in most of my classes the area you are going to be is at the top. But I'd wish they didn't do that because the elevator is wei-" -the elevator stopped and then started up again- "-rd. See, it's weird."

I laughed. "Nah, it's alright." He smiled back.
