Whispering Secrets
By: WhiteRoze
A girl with long honey colored hair dressed in a tight black tank top with a blue fishnet, black baggy cargo pants and a black side back pack walked across the quiet deserted courtyard. The sun had yet to rise and most people too. But she was different. Ever since she came into this world really.
A lone figure leaned against a nearby wall hidden by some bushes. The girl walked over and acknowledges the person there, smirking slightly to find her raven-haired friend straightening up a bit and nodded softly. "Mornin' Hil."
Pulling out a pack of smokes the blonde took the cigarette offered to her and pulled out her fluid lighter. Placing the tobacco between her lips she pushed down on the lighter and ignited the flame. Covering the flame careful not to let the wind blow it out, the light danced over her features only letting her friend see that her lips were painted black much like her own and her eyes were basked in black eyeliner and shadow.
But unlike the blonde the raven-haired girl "Hil" had made designs with her make up making the black paint some down to show as if she were crying. Both girls skin tone was pale but the blonde looked deathly pale.
A deep azure blue void with any emotion looked to her friend and tossed the lighter to her and inhaled the smoke finally and breathed it out a few seconds later. Her friend did the same and then looked at her friends out fit really for the first time today and smirked some. Her dark violet eyes that held emotion in the, much like the blonde, closed and sighed with her smirk still on her face.
"You know Rel. We have the same thing on really.",she said softly taking another puff of her cigarette. The blonde just grinned and nodded some looking at her friends outfit nodding.
"But your fishnet is a crimson red, where mine is a blue color." ,the blonde pointed out inhaling once more her smoke. The raven haired girl just shrugged mumbling, "Same diff."
The blonde grinned more and then it faded from her face as she finished her cigarette waiting for her friend to finish. Both dropping them to the ground and stepping on them.
They moved down the side walk and went under the stairs known as the E building stairs. It was also concealed much like the wall by bushes and they ducked under the stairs and walked over to their "corner". Sitting across from one another the blonde sighed and leaned her head back against the wall. The other simply closed her eyes and began humming softly.
To any "outsider" it seemed to be a haunting melody and thought that she was some witch trying to cast an evil spell on someone or something, but no. Net yet at least.
It was only a song that was taught to her by her mother and grandmother. She then in returned only sang it around her close friends or family. They knew that it was a lost Indian tribes song.
A few moments later after a few beats of humming, the blonde joined in with her friend and sung an octave higher. The sun was rising now and a few people walked the lonely sidewalks of the school.
Finally finishing they both opened their eyes to one another and nodded to each other. It would seem like they practiced it or something. But it really didn't matter now did it? They just had sung their parts to the fullest despite anyone near them that was listening.
The raven-haired girl then sighed and spoke, "Relena. It seems that Dorothy's cousin is coming to stay here a while with us."
The girl known as Relena raised a brow, "And your point is Hilde?"
"We have to show him 'around' basically." , smirking softly at her friend.
Relena smirked back and shook her head, "Why can't Dorothy show him around again?"
Hilde just rolled her eyes, "Something about not being able to come today to school.. I think she is just skipping and going off with that guy she met a few weeks ago."
Relena formed an "o" and understood. Frowning slightly she looked down at her arm socks and then at her back pack. Pulling out a black notebook she started to write something into it.
"What is it with you and that damned thing anyway?" ,asked Hilde looking at her questioningly.
"Uh.. Nothing really just something that I have work in.. That's all." She answered quietly and after a few more strokes with her pen she closed the notebook and put it back in her back pack.
There was a silence between the two and it didn't disturb them really. Looking at their watches they were sure the others would be here soon and got up from their seats on the ground. Walking out from under the stairs the moved to a bench that was surrounded by three other girls.
Each seemed to have the same outfit on as the other but the only difference was their colors of the fishnet. Upon seeing everyone she began laughing some.
A girl a bit taller than all of them with curly auburn hair was wearing a deep shade of purple fishnet. She was known as Cathy or Cat.
The other beside her was slightly shorter by a mere few inches, she was wearing a deep forest green colored fishnet, her dirty brown hair curling at the ends of her shoulders. She was known as Sally.
The other girl that was sitting on the stone bench had a lighter shade of hair color than that of Sally, and her fishnet was yellow. Her name was Midii.
They all finally calmed down and started chatting and gossiping about the latest "drama" in the school. Relena and Hilde didn't really care much for it but listened anyway.
More and more people were coming onto the school grounds and each going to their "group" or "selected" areas. Unfortunately they were by the snobs and hypocritical sluts.
Hearing a stupid laugh from none other than Silvia they all cringed and looked over beside them and saw her hanging all over this guy with messy chocolate brown locks and Prussian blue eyes. He was Heero.
They were in a surrounding circle with three other guys and they seemed just as annoyed as the others did. Relena looked to Silvia and the guy she was clinging to. Sighing deeply shaking her head she looked to Hilde. She just nodded and patted her back.
Her orbs scanned over each one of the guys. One was a Chinese fellow with jet black hair and deep brown eyes and he was known as the "woman hater" or Wufei.
Next to him was a very tall guy with brown hair styled so that it hung over his right eye only revealing his left emerald eye. This guy was Trowa. Calm and collective and man of few words at times.
The other guy the Relena noticed was none other than Duo. His long chestnut colored hair braided to be about a foot long. He was known as being very mischievous around school.
Relena was soon pulled out of her "trance" when something was mentioned about Dorothy's cousin. She blinked a few times and tilted her head hearing her name but not understanding.
Cathy laughed some and then shook her head, "You know.. Since you weren't paying attention we decided that you will take Dorothy's cousin around the school today and show him the ropes."
"What?!" she exclaimed shaking her head and tried pleading with them all.
Midii joined in and looked at her, "Look Lena you are the only one that is the smartest anyway. You could easily catch up in your classes but we can't. We are behind enough as it is."
The blonde simply nodded to her and said, "Well you guys wouldn't be behind if you hadn't skipped so much..Fine but I swear. If I don't like the guy and he makes a false move I'll beat the living crap out of him."
The girls laughed at Relena and shook their heads. Sally spoke up and looked at her, "Look.. You may like him. I mean he is a really cool guy and all. Of course he is probably totally different from you he is a really kind person."
Relena blinked a few times and was about to ask how she knew but Sally continued and answered her question for her, "I met him a few months ago when I went to visit Dorothy at her house. He was there dropping for a visit and told them that he would be transferring here.."
"So where am I supposed to meet him again?" she asked the others and they thought for a moment.
"Why not check the main office. I mean I'm sure Dorothy picked you to show him around anyway." Cathy said nodding to her.
Rolling her eyes she looked to Hilde once and then the others saying goodbye picking up her back pack to walk across the campus to the main office.
Upon getting there she saw Ms. Hilton and with one look at her she knew she was disapproving her make-up and outfit. Whatever. "Hi Ms. Hilton, my friend Dorothy Catalonia is out sick and she requested that I show her cousin--."
She was cut off by another voice and she turned around, "I'm her cousin. My name is Quatre Raberba Winner. You must be Relena Darlian..", he said holding out his hand to her.
Quatre Raberba Winner was a little bit taller than she was so she had to look up at him. He had blonde hair almost the color of Dorothy's but a little fuller of yellow. His eyes were like a beautiful sea blue-green. Broad shoulders and a white collar shirt with black slacks.
Relena blinked a few times and shook his hand warily and then looked back to Ms. Hilton. She nodded writing out a pass for her all day knowing the circumstances before hand and handed her the yellow slip. Relena nodded, "Thank you Ms. Hilton."
Turning on her heel she walked out of the office wondering if he would follow her and sure enough he did. He smiled to her and finally walked up beside her but following her step. "Thanks for being able to show me around today."
"Look.. I'm just going to give you the basics and rules here. Other than that I don't like pleasantries." She said bitterly and kept walking coming to the "A" building also known as the English Department.
Quatre blinked some and his smile faded. 'What is up with her?' He was certainly surprised by her look but said nothing about it. It didn't suit her really. Well in his eyes at least. And the pictures of her and her friends that his cousin showed her were extremely different than what he saw before him. 'Innovative and creative?' he asked himself.
"This is the English building.." she then started talking about some of the rules in this building and then walked to the others. Soon after her "tour" she walked with him back to the courtyard. It was completely deserted much like when she got here this morning.
Turning to look up at him she sighed, "Now this little bit will help you decide where you want to be in the mornings and at lunch."
"Why is that?" he asked wondering what kind of reaction he would get from her. Rolling her eyes she sighed, "Basically you will be classified and put into a certain group."
Well this was certainly interesting to him He simply smiled and waited for her to continue. She did and began, "Basically we have the preps and jocks near the A and B building. Near and around the Cafeteria and Gym are what you would call the really out spoken and funny ghetto people." She smiled softly remember lunch the other day.
Some friends of hers that hanged with a different "clique" were really loud and out spoken and funny as hell. They all started a singing, rapping, and dancing contest.
To much of her surprise they asked her to be in it. She thought it couldn't hurt and she gained major points with this group and was accepted.
Quatre looked to her smile and he smiled himself saying that the black lipstick really didn't suit her at all. None of the make-up did but it was her choice.
Relena then shook her head and looked at him once more not noticing that he was staring at her for a moment and then began to speak, "Over by the E and C building and boardwalk you will have the variety of the punks, skaters, hypocritical sluts, and of course reserved people."
"Why is it that everyone is separated into the groups?" Quatre wondered if what Dorothy said about her was true. If she did have a view that was different from others.
She gave him a look and walked over to lean against a pole and looked up at the sky seeing some more dark clouds from the west blow over to cover the sun.
"It is simple really. It is about acceptance. You see here there is a difference of opinions and there is a lot of contrast between everyone by the way they look, dress, act, and even by what they do within the school. People who come here want to be accepted in really any group but they should make sure what they get themselves into because once you become part of that group your given a label that will either make you or break you later on.", she said softly her eyes closed.
He nodded some and smiled, "I see. I guess she was right."
Relena opened her eyes, "Who?"
"Dorothy.. She said you knew pretty much everything in this school and had much of an opinion and matter on things." Quatre said quietly.
"Oh she did, did she? Hmm." Relena said thinking about the many different ways that she could hurt Dorothy in her head. Quatre then asked another question, "What group are you in exactly?"
Blinking a few times she came out of her thoughts and looked at him, "Well I'm sorta in the whole goth/punk/skater/reserved crowd."
Relena rolled her eyes. She would have to have a talk with her friend. But now she must think of which group to set Quatre in. Looking over her schedule it looked like he was in all of her classes.
"Well do you do any sports?"
Quatre nodded some, "Yes but I don't think I'll tryout for anything just yet. I want to just condition and think about that later."
Relena bit her lip and sighed, "Well. I know you aren't going to be with some groups. I guess.. You could stay with my group for awhile until you find another one to hang with."
He smiled and nodded some, "Thank you Miss Relena."
She narrowed her eyes, "Don't call me Miss.. Just call me Relena, Lena, Rel, or Rellie.. But not Miss."
He nodded slowly, he really didn't mean to get her upset and sighed. A bell sounded and it seemed that the courtyard that was completely vacant before was now flooding with teenagers racing to get to their "spots" and to get their food.
Relena moved towards The E building where she was earlier this morning but stopped under the board walk and set her back pack on the ground beside one of the many stone benches on the campus.
Her friends soon joined her and started talking to her about things happening in their classes. Quatre walked up behind Relena and dropped his back pack beside Relena's, and Cathy noticed him.
"Hey again Quatre!" she said smiling to him, moving over so he could stand between Relena and her.
He joined in and smiled, "Hello Miss Catherine."
"Oh come on Quatre enough with the formalities. Just speak to everyone my their first name here. I mean if you did that to Rel she would punch the living daylights out of you." Cathy said looking to her dear friend Relena.
"Actually he did." Relena said in a monotone voice.
All of their eyes widen and looked at Quatre to see anything out of place like missing buttons on his shirt, his hair and any redness or swelling. They kept inspecting him and Relena merely said, "I just gave him a warning."
Hilde looked at her and knew that something had to be wrong. Relena simply shook her head and indicated that it was nothing really and she would explain herself later.
The other girls took note of this and nodded as well. Quatre looked at them all exchanging glances to one another and just blinked confused. "Umm. Is something the matter?"
Relena looked up at him and shook her head, "No.. It is just very uncommon for me to give people warnings by tongue." He said 'oh' and simply smiled.
"Well I'm glad you did.. Do you mind telling me why I got special treatment?" he asked politely not really wanting to push on the subject.
Relena glared at him, "You are new. You don't know the rules yet." He nodded once more and sighed looking around the courtyard filled with students now.
A group of people walked passed them and one girl in particular with sandy blonde hair to her shoulders called out to Relena, "Yo Rel! Check the mirror lately?"
Relena looked back and over shoulder finding it was Sylvia, "Actually I have but see since you looked in it first I couldn't use because it was broken to pieces."
Sylvia narrowed her eyes and walked over to Relena's group and nodded to each of them giving them a fake smile. All the girls put up their defenses and wondered what Sylvia was going to do.
Sylvia then noticed Quatre and she grinned some looking up to him, "You're a new guy here aren't you? My name is Sylvia Noventa." Holding out her hand Quatre shook it and introduced himself, "Yes I am new here. Quatre Raberba Winner."
"Well nice to meet you Quatre. And why have you chosen this school to come to?" she asked sweetly. Relena clenched her fists and closed her eyes getting irritated by her invading their space.
"Oh well my cousin goes here. I have family here so I moved from Saudi Arabia." He replied to her smiling some still showing his kindness. Sylvia blinked a few times and asked, "Oh really? That's amazing, who is your cousin?"
Quatre looked to the group of girls around him and noticed that they did not like this girl here infront of him. He wondered why but shook his head and answered Sylvia, "Dorothy Catolonia, Miss."
Sylvia's eyes widen, "You mean she is your cousin? Jeez.. I feel sorry for you that you have her in your family."
Quatre raised a brow and his smile faded some, before he could speak someone pulling him back a few inches interrupted him. "What did you say?", asked Relena in a dangerous tone daring the other girl to speak.
Sylvia smirked, "Oh Lena you know what I mean.. After all she IS a part of YOUR group."
Midii and Sally stepped up beside Relena and glared at the girl. Sylvia blinked a few times. "Listen here bitch.. Go to your area and leave us the hell alone."
"Tsk, tsk Rellie. Such fowl language.. But then again I shouldn't expect any better since you are a low life slut." Sylvia said with amusement.
Relena shot back, "The only one here who is a slut is you. Wait a minute let me correct myself.. I mean I'm just giving you too much credit. You are a no good mother fucking whore who doesn't give a damn about anyone but herself. Now turn around with your tail between your legs bitch and go to your area."
Quatre's his were wide. The scene taking place in front of him was getting worse. Hoping the other girl would back down and leave so that there wouldn't be a fight. But they were only glaring at each other as if challenging one another by just staring.
He then stepped in between the two and smiled to them both, "C'mon you two.. Shouldn't we try and get along?" he asked.
Relena sent a glare to Quatre and he only blinked a few times wondering what he did wrong now. But then the Sylvia girl wrapped her hands around his arm. Looking down at her with a confused look on his face he blinked a few times.
"I think that is a great idea Quatre.." Sylvia said with a purr smiling devilish at him.
Relena took note of that, "Get..The Hell.Away from here. Now.." She said in a tone that would make anyone leave. Sylvia certainly did but before she did she leaned in to whisper something to Relena and her eyes widen. Sylvia saw this and smirked. "Oh yea Lena, don't forget as long as he's around you.. You'll see more of me." Waving goodbye she left the group and headed for her own running to cling to Heero.
Hilde came and patted Relena on the shoulder. All the girls huddled around in another circle like before. Quatre noted that all of them were ticked off and looking to Relena. Her head hung as he watched Hilde whispering to her softly. Seeing the blonde nod some she took a breath and looked up.
Looking around to the girls she nodded to them before meeting Quatre's curious eyes. He looked into her own and noticed a bit of emotion but it seemed to have passed with another blink of his eye. "Relena. Is everything all right?" he asked nicely smiling some.
She nodded, "Yes.Yes I am fine." She then looked around the courtyard. Quatre raised a brow at her. Relena then turned her head to look up at him once more. "I should find you a group now.."
Midii blinked a few times, "Why doesn't he just become part of ours Rel?" Relena looked to her and narrowed her eyes. But then Cathy spoke up, "Yea.. I mean he is new and we could look after him."
Quatre was confused. Being taken care of by a group of women? Well, it would certainly be a change. He just smiled politely to the girls.
"Lena.. I agree with them too. Besides we need a guy in our group.", said Sally hoping to get Hilde to speak up.
Hilde noticed that they were awaiting her answer. Thinking for a moment about this she looked Relena and then to Quatre. He did seem different than most. His aura was pure and beautiful much like her friend's. Her eyes widen remembering something that was said a long time ago and looked between the two and then at the other girls. Relaxing some she looked to her friend. "I agree with them as well."
Relena's eyes widen much like the other girls. "What? Hilde you.. agree?" She nodded and smirked looking into her friend's eyes. Relena sighed and then closed hers. "Fine.."
Quatre was completely lost. What in the hell is going on? First a little verbal fight over something he had no idea of and now this? 'I wonder why.' Looking the girls over once more he went deep into thought. His sea blue- green eyes then gazed at Relena wondering about her more and more. 'Something about her is. Different.. I want to know what it is for some reason.'
Relena noticed his eyes on her and blinked a few times. Why was he staring at her? What was his reason for being here? It was already a month or two in the new school year and here he comes. Why did he choose now to transfer? Was something wrong in Dorothy's family?
For some reason Relena had this urge to talk to him but decided not to. At least not yet. She would talk with Dorothy later.
Hilde then tapped Relena's shoulder and she blinked some turning her head to her realizing she had been staring at Quatre. A small blush creped into her cheeks as did Quatre when they looked away from one another.
Noticing this Hilde grinned and tilted her head to look at her friend, "Are you alright?" All she got was a nod and a small smile.
The other girls were talking with Quatre about his classes and such and Sally noticed that he had the same classes with Relena. "Hey Rellie you've got the same classes with Quatre here!"
Relena looked to her and just nodded. "Yea.. I know."
Quatre raised a brow, "You do?" She gave a nod and Quatre simply smiled to her. Relena saw his smile and looked away to turn and face Hilde.
Hilde had this look on her face that was telling her to talk to him and Relena shook her head while narrowing her eyes. Hilde nodded crossing her arms. They continued to do this for a few minutes and Quatre just thought it strange but turned his attention to the others around him, talking a bit more of the school.
Hilde finally gave up trying to get Relena to talk to their "guest" more and sighed some. Relena smirked in satisfaction but a girl calling her name across the courtyard made her turn around blinking. "Eh?"
A dark skinned girl with a black halter top and a short black skirt with short black hair came jogging up to Relena and smiled. "Hey Shorty we got a challenge from one of our group members for ya."
Relena grinned and put her hands on her hips, "Oh really?"
The girl nodded, "Yea.. She's got some skill but you are known to have the best. Especially for a white girl like yourself." She said laughing slightly.
Relena and her group laughed at the comment and Relena smiled, "Yea I guess that's about right Sharele."
"So is that a go with you Rellie?", Sharele asked and Relena nodded walking over to the center of the courtyard.
All of her friends including Quatre walking behind her. He wondered what was about to happen and waited patiently never taking his gaze away from Relena and Sharele.
It seemed that once they got there the rest of the school gathered around in a circle talking about what was about to happen. Quatre heard some of the comments that gave him an idea at what Relena was about to do.
"Yea.Relena's got some mad skillz but Meirian has got them too.." "Which do you think will win?" "I'm betting on Meirian.." "I'll take you up on that bet, I'm betting on Lena." "Yea Lena is undefeated.." "But she might be today, you never know." "All I know is that even though Lena is white.. The girl can dance like I don't know what.."
Dance eh? Quatre smiled and looked to the girl who was entering the circle and assumed it was the girl named Meirian. She looked of Asian descent, long black hair with matching eyes. She was wearing a forest green spaghetti strap shirt and black pants that cut off at her knees.
Then a burst of music came to their ears in which everyone started to scream or sing with music. Some of the students were chanting Meirian's name or Relena's name. Quatre wasn't familiar with the kind of music that was playing but he just bobbed his head liking it some.
A few seconds later Relena and Meirian started to dance with the music. Each were in time with the beat and seemed like they were having fun. Though it was a challenge. A game or something.
Relena then stepped back and stopped to watch Meirian dance or rather let her have her "time" to shine. People began cheering for Meirian and clapping for her. Others even booed her but it was only for a second and never heard again.
New music came on which indicated Meirian to stop and Relena to start. She did and moved to the center while Meirian gazed at Relena's moves. Perfect in time and never off a second. Her arms and legs were beautifully moving and hypnotized any viewer of the dance.
She then back flipped into the air and came down to do a split only to start moving her legs on the ground. Everyone was yelling and screaming for her. She was break dancing on the ground! Finally she flipped up and stopped as the music died. Though everyone's cheers didn't stop but finally Sharele calmed the crowd and looked to both of the girls.
"Okay you guys! You know who is the winner?" she yelled.
"Meirian!!" "Relena!"
"Well.. Guess what! Relena is the winner!" Sharele screamed and looked to Relena doing the "secret" hand shake of her group. Quatre saw that she had been accepted into that group and smiled.
The crowd dispersed back to there "assigned" areas. A lot of people congratulated Relena and Meirian on a job well done. Meirian came up to Relena and shook her hand smiling softly, "It was great to dance against the best."
"Thanks. You're good too. Just when you go down don't hesitate in coming up." She said softly and smiled. Meirian nodded and left with Sharele who told Relena that like always she was welcome to come over to there group anytime.
The honey colored blonde came up to her group of friends finally. Hilde looked at her and smirked, "You know.. You're getting better. Why don't you go to their group?"
"Because I belong here.. Besides at least I was accepted and they are our allies now." Relena said with a grin and the other girls nodded. Quatre was only more confused by everything but smiled.
Cathy looked to him and raised a brow, "You are still completely clueless aren't you?" He silently nodded.
Cathy looked to Relena and grinned, "Hey Lena! You need to fill Quatre in on everything he is still completely clueless." Relena rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I've already filled him in! Jeez.." Relena snapped at her and crossed her arms only to let out a "sorry" to her friend. Quatre just stood right there in the middle wondering about some things.
A bell sounded and they all said their good-byes to each other. Hilde gave Relena a sign that she would meet her after school at the bus loading area like the others.
Noticing the looks that were exchanged Quatre turned to pick up his bag and Relena's as well. When Relena turned around she looked at him with her book bag in one hand. Narrowing her eyes at him she asked in an irritated tone, "Why do you have my bag?"
Quatre blinked a few times and smiled again, "I just picked it up for you. Besides we are in the next class together and I need to follow you just incase I get lost."
Relena grabbed her bag from him and murmured a "thank you" and a "follow me". He did as he was told and followed behind her smiling. He was a little bit taller than her and looking down at her head and then the side of her face.
They entered the building and headed upstairs to their Calculus class. It was a double block, which meant after this they would be able to go home.
As they joined the room Relena brought Quatre up to the teacher telling him he had just moved here and that she was his guide.
"Why hello Mr. Winner, it is a pleasure to have you with us." Ms. Shell said smiling to him. In return he nodded, "Thank you Ms." he looked to her desk seeing her last name and said, "Ms. Shell."
She smiled and placed him beside Relena in the second row. "Relena please help him catch up with everything we are doing. Okay?"
Relena nodded and plopped down in her seat. Quatre came to sit next to her and noticed a few of the guys that were with Sylvia at lunch were in here.
Ms. Shell introduced the class to Quatre and so forth. He figured out the names of everyone and the guys. There was the tall one named Trowa Barton. The Asian looking man, Wufei Chang. Then there was the one who Sylvia had run to, Heero Yuy.
Class ran smoothly like usual to Relena except for the fact she was helping Quatre catch up which would take a few more days. 'A few more days. Then I won't be around him as much.' ,she thought. The bell sounded and everyone could go home. Packing their bags up Ms. Shell handed Quatre some work to do and then talked with Relena for a second on something.
After their talk Relena walked out looking behind her to find Quatre behind her and raised a brow to him. Slowing down she mentally kicked herself she looked up to him now walking side by side down the hallway towards her locker.
"Did they give you a locker yet or not?" she asked holding two folders in her hands. He shook his head and smiled. "Nope they didn't."
Rolling her eyes she walked ahead of him once more and came to her locker. Turning the combination and opening the door she set her folders in and turned to him.
"Well you can share one with me then since we have the same classes and there will probably be no lockers left." she said and took out a pin from her bag as well as a sheet of paper. Writing down some numbers she handed it to him. "Here is the locker number and its code."
He smiled and nodded, "Thank you. But you don't have to do this." She gave him a look and closed the locker seeing as though he wasn't going to use it
He smiled and nodded, "Thank you. But you don't have to do this." She gave him a look and closed the locker seeing as though he wasn't going to use it yet. "I know I don't have to but Dorothy is my friend and I guess she would want you to get settled in and all."
He looked to her as she walked passed him and out the doors. Quickly following her and down the stairs he spoke to her, "What kind of relationship do you have with my cousin?"
"She's my friend. One of my best friends.. Why?" she asked looking at him.
"I don't know.. It just seemed you girls were only helping since I was her cousin and you either were afraid of her or something. Relena began laughing suddenly and Quatre blinked curiously at her. "What? What is so funny?"
Relena tried to calm down and smiled, "It is just that. You thought we are afraid of her. Hehehehe..No.." her smile soon faded just as quickly as it came. "No we are all friends and help each other out in any way. She needed our help and that means we give you help."
Quatre nodded some and sighed putting his hands into his pockets. "I see.. Are you and the others going to visit her now?"
She nodded some, "Yea.. We were going to try and steal her away and take her out to eat."
Suddenly Hilde came up to them as they were walking closer to the bus loading area. She looked at Quatre and then to Relena. "Hey we are leaving in about 10 or 20 minutes. We are trying to figure out how everyone is going to fit in the car."
"Everyone? What do you mean by everyone? All of us can fit in your car." Relena said.
"No not everyone. I still need to pick up Mariemaia at her school and then Quatre will be coming with us." Hilde said looking Relena in the eyes.
Quatre looked at her and blinked, "Huh?"
"Oh yea.. That's right. Dorothy said that we should take you home with us after school so. You are welcomed to join us." Hilde said in a emotionless voice.
"That's okay I can walk."
"Walk?! Oh no Quatre you are riding with us.. We can squeeze you in I'm sure!" Cathy said coming up to them with Sally and Midii behind them.
Finally after debating everything they all piled in the car. Hilde in the driver's seat, Sally on the passenger side, and Sally, Midii, Cathy and Quatre in the back.
Relena folded her arms over one another and looked at Hilde standing outside of the car. "Well. I guess I'm out of a ride it seems. I'll meet up with y'all later."
"Lena you can go sit on Quatre's lap." Hilde said with a smirk. All the other girls grinned, Quatre and Relena both blushed. "What?! No way! Mariemaia still needs to fit in here!", Relena exclaimed.
Sally then replied, "She can sit up here in the front with us."
"Why can't I?" Relena asked.
Midii rolled down her window, "Just get in here now!"
Deciding not to put up a fight this once she threw her bag in the trunk and got into the car moving over to sit in Quatre's lap. She looked to him, her cheeks still a bit red like his own, "I'm sorry about this."
He shook his head and smiled, "It is okay. Really."

Whispering Secrets
By: WhiteRoze
A girl with long honey colored hair dressed in a tight black tank top with a blue fishnet, black baggy cargo pants and a black side back pack walked across the quiet deserted courtyard. The sun had yet to rise and most people too. But she was different. Ever since she came into this world really.
A lone figure leaned against a nearby wall hidden by some bushes. The girl walked over and acknowledges the person there, smirking slightly to find her raven-haired friend straightening up a bit and nodded softly. "Mornin' Hil."
Pulling out a pack of smokes the blonde took the cigarette offered to her and pulled out her fluid lighter. Placing the tobacco between her lips she pushed down on the lighter and ignited the flame. Covering the flame careful not to let the wind blow it out, the light danced over her features only letting her friend see that her lips were painted black much like her own and her eyes were basked in black eyeliner and shadow.
But unlike the blonde the raven-haired girl "Hil" had made designs with her make up making the black paint some down to show as if she were crying. Both girls skin tone was pale but the blonde looked deathly pale.
A deep azure blue void with any emotion looked to her friend and tossed the lighter to her and inhaled the smoke finally and breathed it out a few seconds later. Her friend did the same and then looked at her friends out fit really for the first time today and smirked some. Her dark violet eyes that held emotion in the, much like the blonde, closed and sighed with her smirk still on her face.
"You know Rel. We have the same thing on really.",she said softly taking another puff of her cigarette. The blonde just grinned and nodded some looking at her friends outfit nodding.
"But your fishnet is a crimson red, where mine is a blue color." ,the blonde pointed out inhaling once more her smoke. The raven haired girl just shrugged mumbling, "Same diff."
The blonde grinned more and then it faded from her face as she finished her cigarette waiting for her friend to finish. Both dropping them to the ground and stepping on them.
They moved down the side walk and went under the stairs known as the E building stairs. It was also concealed much like the wall by bushes and they ducked under the stairs and walked over to their "corner". Sitting across from one another the blonde sighed and leaned her head back against the wall. The other simply closed her eyes and began humming softly.
To any "outsider" it seemed to be a haunting melody and thought that she was some witch trying to cast an evil spell on someone or something, but no. Net yet at least.
It was only a song that was taught to her by her mother and grandmother. She then in returned only sang it around her close friends or family. They knew that it was a lost Indian tribes song.
A few moments later after a few beats of humming, the blonde joined in with her friend and sung an octave higher. The sun was rising now and a few people walked the lonely sidewalks of the school.
Finally finishing they both opened their eyes to one another and nodded to each other. It would seem like they practiced it or something. But it really didn't matter now did it? They just had sung their parts to the fullest despite anyone near them that was listening.
The raven-haired girl then sighed and spoke, "Relena. It seems that Dorothy's cousin is coming to stay here a while with us."
The girl known as Relena raised a brow, "And your point is Hilde?"
"We have to show him 'around' basically." , smirking softly at her friend.
Relena smirked back and shook her head, "Why can't Dorothy show him around again?"
Hilde just rolled her eyes, "Something about not being able to come today to school.. I think she is just skipping and going off with that guy she met a few weeks ago."
Relena formed an "o" and understood. Frowning slightly she looked down at her arm socks and then at her back pack. Pulling out a black notebook she started to write something into it.
"What is it with you and that damned thing anyway?" ,asked Hilde looking at her questioningly.
"Uh.. Nothing really just something that I have work in.. That's all." She answered quietly and after a few more strokes with her pen she closed the notebook and put it back in her back pack.
There was a silence between the two and it didn't disturb them really. Looking at their watches they were sure the others would be here soon and got up from their seats on the ground. Walking out from under the stairs the moved to a bench that was surrounded by three other girls.
Each seemed to have the same outfit on as the other but the only difference was their colors of the fishnet. Upon seeing everyone she began laughing some.
A girl a bit taller than all of them with curly auburn hair was wearing a deep shade of purple fishnet. She was known as Cathy or Cat.
The other beside her was slightly shorter by a mere few inches, she was wearing a deep forest green colored fishnet, her dirty brown hair curling at the ends of her shoulders. She was known as Sally.
The other girl that was sitting on the stone bench had a lighter shade of hair color than that of Sally, and her fishnet was yellow. Her name was Midii.
They all finally calmed down and started chatting and gossiping about the latest "drama" in the school. Relena and Hilde didn't really care much for it but listened anyway.
More and more people were coming onto the school grounds and each going to their "group" or "selected" areas. Unfortunately they were by the snobs and hypocritical sluts.
Hearing a stupid laugh from none other than Silvia they all cringed and looked over beside them and saw her hanging all over this guy with messy chocolate brown locks and Prussian blue eyes. He was Heero.
They were in a surrounding circle with three other guys and they seemed just as annoyed as the others did. Relena looked to Silvia and the guy she was clinging to. Sighing deeply shaking her head she looked to Hilde. She just nodded and patted her back.
Her orbs scanned over each one of the guys. One was a Chinese fellow with jet black hair and deep brown eyes and he was known as the "woman hater" or Wufei.
Next to him was a very tall guy with brown hair styled so that it hung over his right eye only revealing his left emerald eye. This guy was Trowa. Calm and collective and man of few words at times.
The other guy the Relena noticed was none other than Duo. His long chestnut colored hair braided to be about a foot long. He was known as being very mischievous around school.
Relena was soon pulled out of her "trance" when something was mentioned about Dorothy's cousin. She blinked a few times and tilted her head hearing her name but not understanding.
Cathy laughed some and then shook her head, "You know.. Since you weren't paying attention we decided that you will take Dorothy's cousin around the school today and show him the ropes."
"What?!" she exclaimed shaking her head and tried pleading with them all.
Midii joined in and looked at her, "Look Lena you are the only one that is the smartest anyway. You could easily catch up in your classes but we can't. We are behind enough as it is."
The blonde simply nodded to her and said, "Well you guys wouldn't be behind if you hadn't skipped so much..Fine but I swear. If I don't like the guy and he makes a false move I'll beat the living crap out of him."
The girls laughed at Relena and shook their heads. Sally spoke up and looked at her, "Look.. You may like him. I mean he is a really cool guy and all. Of course he is probably totally different from you he is a really kind person."
Relena blinked a few times and was about to ask how she knew but Sally continued and answered her question for her, "I met him a few months ago when I went to visit Dorothy at her house. He was there dropping for a visit and told them that he would be transferring here.."
"So where am I supposed to meet him again?" she asked the others and they thought for a moment.
"Why not check the main office. I mean I'm sure Dorothy picked you to show him around anyway." Cathy said nodding to her.
Rolling her eyes she looked to Hilde once and then the others saying goodbye picking up her back pack to walk across the campus to the main office.
Upon getting there she saw Ms. Hilton and with one look at her she knew she was disapproving her make-up and outfit. Whatever. "Hi Ms. Hilton, my friend Dorothy Catalonia is out sick and she requested that I show her cousin--."
She was cut off by another voice and she turned around, "I'm her cousin. My name is Quatre Raberba Winner. You must be Relena Darlian..", he said holding out his hand to her.
Quatre Raberba Winner was a little bit taller than she was so she had to look up at him. He had blonde hair almost the color of Dorothy's but a little fuller of yellow. His eyes were like a beautiful sea blue-green. Broad shoulders and a white collar shirt with black slacks.
Relena blinked a few times and shook his hand warily and then looked back to Ms. Hilton. She nodded writing out a pass for her all day knowing the circumstances before hand and handed her the yellow slip. Relena nodded, "Thank you Ms. Hilton."
Turning on her heel she walked out of the office wondering if he would follow her and sure enough he did. He smiled to her and finally walked up beside her but following her step. "Thanks for being able to show me around today."
"Look.. I'm just going to give you the basics and rules here. Other than that I don't like pleasantries." She said bitterly and kept walking coming to the "A" building also known as the English Department.
Quatre blinked some and his smile faded. 'What is up with her?' He was certainly surprised by her look but said nothing about it. It didn't suit her really. Well in his eyes at least. And the pictures of her and her friends that his cousin showed her were extremely different than what he saw before him. 'Innovative and creative?' he asked himself.
"This is the English building.." she then started talking about some of the rules in this building and then walked to the others. Soon after her "tour" she walked with him back to the courtyard. It was completely deserted much like when she got here this morning.
Turning to look up at him she sighed, "Now this little bit will help you decide where you want to be in the mornings and at lunch."
"Why is that?" he asked wondering what kind of reaction he would get from her. Rolling her eyes she sighed, "Basically you will be classified and put into a certain group."
Well this was certainly interesting to him He simply smiled and waited for her to continue. She did and began, "Basically we have the preps and jocks near the A and B building. Near and around the Cafeteria and Gym are what you would call the really out spoken and funny ghetto people." She smiled softly remember lunch the other day.
Some friends of hers that hanged with a different "clique" were really loud and out spoken and funny as hell. They all started a singing, rapping, and dancing contest.
To much of her surprise they asked her to be in it. She thought it couldn't hurt and she gained major points with this group and was accepted.
Quatre looked to her smile and he smiled himself saying that the black lipstick really didn't suit her at all. None of the make-up did but it was her choice.
Relena then shook her head and looked at him once more not noticing that he was staring at her for a moment and then began to speak, "Over by the E and C building and boardwalk you will have the variety of the punks, skaters, hypocritical sluts, and of course reserved people."
"Why is it that everyone is separated into the groups?" Quatre wondered if what Dorothy said about her was true. If she did have a view that was different from others.
She gave him a look and walked over to lean against a pole and looked up at the sky seeing some more dark clouds from the west blow over to cover the sun.
"It is simple really. It is about acceptance. You see here there is a difference of opinions and there is a lot of contrast between everyone by the way they look, dress, act, and even by what they do within the school. People who come here want to be accepted in really any group but they should make sure what they get themselves into because once you become part of that group your given a label that will either make you or break you later on.", she said softly her eyes closed.
He nodded some and smiled, "I see. I guess she was right."
Relena opened her eyes, "Who?"
"Dorothy.. She said you knew pretty much everything in this school and had much of an opinion and matter on things." Quatre said quietly.
"Oh she did, did she? Hmm." Relena said thinking about the many different ways that she could hurt Dorothy in her head. Quatre then asked another question, "What group are you in exactly?"
Blinking a few times she came out of her thoughts and looked at him, "Well I'm sorta in the whole goth/punk/skater/reserved crowd."
Relena rolled her eyes. She would have to have a talk with her friend. But now she must think of which group to set Quatre in. Looking over her schedule it looked like he was in all of her classes.
"Well do you do any sports?"
Quatre nodded some, "Yes but I don't think I'll tryout for anything just yet. I want to just condition and think about that later."
Relena bit her lip and sighed, "Well. I know you aren't going to be with some groups. I guess.. You could stay with my group for awhile until you find another one to hang with."
He smiled and nodded some, "Thank you Miss Relena."
She narrowed her eyes, "Don't call me Miss.. Just call me Relena, Lena, Rel, or Rellie.. But not Miss."
He nodded slowly, he really didn't mean to get her upset and sighed. A bell sounded and it seemed that the courtyard that was completely vacant before was now flooding with teenagers racing to get to their "spots" and to get their food.
Relena moved towards The E building where she was earlier this morning but stopped under the board walk and set her back pack on the ground beside one of the many stone benches on the campus.
Her friends soon joined her and started talking to her about things happening in their classes. Quatre walked up behind Relena and dropped his back pack beside Relena's, and Cathy noticed him.
"Hey again Quatre!" she said smiling to him, moving over so he could stand between Relena and her.
He joined in and smiled, "Hello Miss Catherine."
"Oh come on Quatre enough with the formalities. Just speak to everyone my their first name here. I mean if you did that to Rel she would punch the living daylights out of you." Cathy said looking to her dear friend Relena.
"Actually he did." Relena said in a monotone voice.
All of their eyes widen and looked at Quatre to see anything out of place like missing buttons on his shirt, his hair and any redness or swelling. They kept inspecting him and Relena merely said, "I just gave him a warning."
Hilde looked at her and knew that something had to be wrong. Relena simply shook her head and indicated that it was nothing really and she would explain herself later.
The other girls took note of this and nodded as well. Quatre looked at them all exchanging glances to one another and just blinked confused. "Umm. Is something the matter?"
Relena looked up at him and shook her head, "No.. It is just very uncommon for me to give people warnings by tongue." He said 'oh' and simply smiled.
"Well I'm glad you did.. Do you mind telling me why I got special treatment?" he asked politely not really wanting to push on the subject.
Relena glared at him, "You are new. You don't know the rules yet." He nodded once more and sighed looking around the courtyard filled with students now.
A group of people walked passed them and one girl in particular with sandy blonde hair to her shoulders called out to Relena, "Yo Rel! Check the mirror lately?"
Relena looked back and over shoulder finding it was Sylvia, "Actually I have but see since you looked in it first I couldn't use because it was broken to pieces."
Sylvia narrowed her eyes and walked over to Relena's group and nodded to each of them giving them a fake smile. All the girls put up their defenses and wondered what Sylvia was going to do.
Sylvia then noticed Quatre and she grinned some looking up to him, "You're a new guy here aren't you? My name is Sylvia Noventa." Holding out her hand Quatre shook it and introduced himself, "Yes I am new here. Quatre Raberba Winner."
"Well nice to meet you Quatre. And why have you chosen this school to come to?" she asked sweetly. Relena clenched her fists and closed her eyes getting irritated by her invading their space.
"Oh well my cousin goes here. I have family here so I moved from Saudi Arabia." He replied to her smiling some still showing his kindness. Sylvia blinked a few times and asked, "Oh really? That's amazing, who is your cousin?"
Quatre looked to the group of girls around him and noticed that they did not like this girl here infront of him. He wondered why but shook his head and answered Sylvia, "Dorothy Catolonia, Miss."
Sylvia's eyes widen, "You mean she is your cousin? Jeez.. I feel sorry for you that you have her in your family."
Quatre raised a brow and his smile faded some, before he could speak someone pulling him back a few inches interrupted him. "What did you say?", asked Relena in a dangerous tone daring the other girl to speak.
Sylvia smirked, "Oh Lena you know what I mean.. After all she IS a part of YOUR group."
Midii and Sally stepped up beside Relena and glared at the girl. Sylvia blinked a few times. "Listen here bitch.. Go to your area and leave us the hell alone."
"Tsk, tsk Rellie. Such fowl language.. But then again I shouldn't expect any better since you are a low life slut." Sylvia said with amusement.
Relena shot back, "The only one here who is a slut is you. Wait a minute let me correct myself.. I mean I'm just giving you too much credit. You are a no good mother fucking whore who doesn't give a damn about anyone but herself. Now turn around with your tail between your legs bitch and go to your area."
Quatre's his were wide. The scene taking place in front of him was getting worse. Hoping the other girl would back down and leave so that there wouldn't be a fight. But they were only glaring at each other as if challenging one another by just staring.
He then stepped in between the two and smiled to them both, "C'mon you two.. Shouldn't we try and get along?" he asked.
Relena sent a glare to Quatre and he only blinked a few times wondering what he did wrong now. But then the Sylvia girl wrapped her hands around his arm. Looking down at her with a confused look on his face he blinked a few times.
"I think that is a great idea Quatre.." Sylvia said with a purr smiling devilish at him.
Relena took note of that, "Get..The Hell.Away from here. Now.." She said in a tone that would make anyone leave. Sylvia certainly did but before she did she leaned in to whisper something to Relena and her eyes widen. Sylvia saw this and smirked. "Oh yea Lena, don't forget as long as he's around you.. You'll see more of me." Waving goodbye she left the group and headed for her own running to cling to Heero.
Hilde came and patted Relena on the shoulder. All the girls huddled around in another circle like before. Quatre noted that all of them were ticked off and looking to Relena. Her head hung as he watched Hilde whispering to her softly. Seeing the blonde nod some she took a breath and looked up.
Looking around to the girls she nodded to them before meeting Quatre's curious eyes. He looked into her own and noticed a bit of emotion but it seemed to have passed with another blink of his eye. "Relena. Is everything all right?" he asked nicely smiling some.
She nodded, "Yes.Yes I am fine." She then looked around the courtyard. Quatre raised a brow at her. Relena then turned her head to look up at him once more. "I should find you a group now.."
Midii blinked a few times, "Why doesn't he just become part of ours Rel?" Relena looked to her and narrowed her eyes. But then Cathy spoke up, "Yea.. I mean he is new and we could look after him."
Quatre was confused. Being taken care of by a group of women? Well, it would certainly be a change. He just smiled politely to the girls.
"Lena.. I agree with them too. Besides we need a guy in our group.", said Sally hoping to get Hilde to speak up.
Hilde noticed that they were awaiting her answer. Thinking for a moment about this she looked Relena and then to Quatre. He did seem different than most. His aura was pure and beautiful much like her friend's. Her eyes widen remembering something that was said a long time ago and looked between the two and then at the other girls. Relaxing some she looked to her friend. "I agree with them as well."
Relena's eyes widen much like the other girls. "What? Hilde you.. agree?" She nodded and smirked looking into her friend's eyes. Relena sighed and then closed hers. "Fine.."
Quatre was completely lost. What in the hell is going on? First a little verbal fight over something he had no idea of and now this? 'I wonder why.' Looking the girls over once more he went deep into thought. His sea blue- green eyes then gazed at Relena wondering about her more and more. 'Something about her is. Different.. I want to know what it is for some reason.'
Relena noticed his eyes on her and blinked a few times. Why was he staring at her? What was his reason for being here? It was already a month or two in the new school year and here he comes. Why did he choose now to transfer? Was something wrong in Dorothy's family?
For some reason Relena had this urge to talk to him but decided not to. At least not yet. She would talk with Dorothy later.
Hilde then tapped Relena's shoulder and she blinked some turning her head to her realizing she had been staring at Quatre. A small blush creped into her cheeks as did Quatre when they looked away from one another.
Noticing this Hilde grinned and tilted her head to look at her friend, "Are you alright?" All she got was a nod and a small smile.
The other girls were talking with Quatre about his classes and such and Sally noticed that he had the same classes with Relena. "Hey Rellie you've got the same classes with Quatre here!"
Relena looked to her and just nodded. "Yea.. I know."
Quatre raised a brow, "You do?" She gave a nod and Quatre simply smiled to her. Relena saw his smile and looked away to turn and face Hilde.
Hilde had this look on her face that was telling her to talk to him and Relena shook her head while narrowing her eyes. Hilde nodded crossing her arms. They continued to do this for a few minutes and Quatre just thought it strange but turned his attention to the others around him, talking a bit more of the school.
Hilde finally gave up trying to get Relena to talk to their "guest" more and sighed some. Relena smirked in satisfaction but a girl calling her name across the courtyard made her turn around blinking. "Eh?"
A dark skinned girl with a black halter top and a short black skirt with short black hair came jogging up to Relena and smiled. "Hey Shorty we got a challenge from one of our group members for ya."
Relena grinned and put her hands on her hips, "Oh really?"
The girl nodded, "Yea.. She's got some skill but you are known to have the best. Especially for a white girl like yourself." She said laughing slightly.
Relena and her group laughed at the comment and Relena smiled, "Yea I guess that's about right Sharele."
"So is that a go with you Rellie?", Sharele asked and Relena nodded walking over to the center of the courtyard.
All of her friends including Quatre walking behind her. He wondered what was about to happen and waited patiently never taking his gaze away from Relena and Sharele.
It seemed that once they got there the rest of the school gathered around in a circle talking about what was about to happen. Quatre heard some of the comments that gave him an idea at what Relena was about to do.
"Yea.Relena's got some mad skillz but Meirian has got them too.." "Which do you think will win?" "I'm betting on Meirian.." "I'll take you up on that bet, I'm betting on Lena." "Yea Lena is undefeated.." "But she might be today, you never know." "All I know is that even though Lena is white.. The girl can dance like I don't know what.."
Dance eh? Quatre smiled and looked to the girl who was entering the circle and assumed it was the girl named Meirian. She looked of Asian descent, long black hair with matching eyes. She was wearing a forest green spaghetti strap shirt and black pants that cut off at her knees.
Then a burst of music came to their ears in which everyone started to scream or sing with music. Some of the students were chanting Meirian's name or Relena's name. Quatre wasn't familiar with the kind of music that was playing but he just bobbed his head liking it some.
A few seconds later Relena and Meirian started to dance with the music. Each were in time with the beat and seemed like they were having fun. Though it was a challenge. A game or something.
Relena then stepped back and stopped to watch Meirian dance or rather let her have her "time" to shine. People began cheering for Meirian and clapping for her. Others even booed her but it was only for a second and never heard again.
New music came on which indicated Meirian to stop and Relena to start. She did and moved to the center while Meirian gazed at Relena's moves. Perfect in time and never off a second. Her arms and legs were beautifully moving and hypnotized any viewer of the dance.
She then back flipped into the air and came down to do a split only to start moving her legs on the ground. Everyone was yelling and screaming for her. She was break dancing on the ground! Finally she flipped up and stopped as the music died. Though everyone's cheers didn't stop but finally Sharele calmed the crowd and looked to both of the girls.
"Okay you guys! You know who is the winner?" she yelled.
"Meirian!!" "Relena!"
"Well.. Guess what! Relena is the winner!" Sharele screamed and looked to Relena doing the "secret" hand shake of her group. Quatre saw that she had been accepted into that group and smiled.
The crowd dispersed back to there "assigned" areas. A lot of people congratulated Relena and Meirian on a job well done. Meirian came up to Relena and shook her hand smiling softly, "It was great to dance against the best."
"Thanks. You're good too. Just when you go down don't hesitate in coming up." She said softly and smiled. Meirian nodded and left with Sharele who told Relena that like always she was welcome to come over to there group anytime.
The honey colored blonde came up to her group of friends finally. Hilde looked at her and smirked, "You know.. You're getting better. Why don't you go to their group?"
"Because I belong here.. Besides at least I was accepted and they are our allies now." Relena said with a grin and the other girls nodded. Quatre was only more confused by everything but smiled.
Cathy looked to him and raised a brow, "You are still completely clueless aren't you?" He silently nodded.
Cathy looked to Relena and grinned, "Hey Lena! You need to fill Quatre in on everything he is still completely clueless." Relena rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I've already filled him in! Jeez.." Relena snapped at her and crossed her arms only to let out a "sorry" to her friend. Quatre just stood right there in the middle wondering about some things.
A bell sounded and they all said their good-byes to each other. Hilde gave Relena a sign that she would meet her after school at the bus loading area like the others.
Noticing the looks that were exchanged Quatre turned to pick up his bag and Relena's as well. When Relena turned around she looked at him with her book bag in one hand. Narrowing her eyes at him she asked in an irritated tone, "Why do you have my bag?"
Quatre blinked a few times and smiled again, "I just picked it up for you. Besides we are in the next class together and I need to follow you just incase I get lost."
Relena grabbed her bag from him and murmured a "thank you" and a "follow me". He did as he was told and followed behind her smiling. He was a little bit taller than her and looking down at her head and then the side of her face.
They entered the building and headed upstairs to their Calculus class. It was a double block, which meant after this they would be able to go home.
As they joined the room Relena brought Quatre up to the teacher telling him he had just moved here and that she was his guide.
"Why hello Mr. Winner, it is a pleasure to have you with us." Ms. Shell said smiling to him. In return he nodded, "Thank you Ms." he looked to her desk seeing her last name and said, "Ms. Shell."
She smiled and placed him beside Relena in the second row. "Relena please help him catch up with everything we are doing. Okay?"
Relena nodded and plopped down in her seat. Quatre came to sit next to her and noticed a few of the guys that were with Sylvia at lunch were in here.
Ms. Shell introduced the class to Quatre and so forth. He figured out the names of everyone and the guys. There was the tall one named Trowa Barton. The Asian looking man, Wufei Chang. Then there was the one who Sylvia had run to, Heero Yuy.
Class ran smoothly like usual to Relena except for the fact she was helping Quatre catch up which would take a few more days. 'A few more days. Then I won't be around him as much.' ,she thought. The bell sounded and everyone could go home. Packing their bags up Ms. Shell handed Quatre some work to do and then talked with Relena for a second on something.
After their talk Relena walked out looking behind her to find Quatre behind her and raised a brow to him. Slowing down she mentally kicked herself she looked up to him now walking side by side down the hallway towards her locker.
"Did they give you a locker yet or not?" she asked holding two folders in her hands. He shook his head and smiled. "Nope they didn't."
Rolling her eyes she walked ahead of him once more and came to her locker. Turning the combination and opening the door she set her folders in and turned to him.
"Well you can share one with me then since we have the same classes and there will probably be no lockers left." she said and took out a pin from her bag as well as a sheet of paper. Writing down some numbers she handed it to him. "Here is the locker number and its code."
He smiled and nodded, "Thank you. But you don't have to do this." She gave him a look and closed the locker seeing as though he wasn't going to use it
He smiled and nodded, "Thank you. But you don't have to do this." She gave him a look and closed the locker seeing as though he wasn't going to use it yet. "I know I don't have to but Dorothy is my friend and I guess she would want you to get settled in and all."
He looked to her as she walked passed him and out the doors. Quickly following her and down the stairs he spoke to her, "What kind of relationship do you have with my cousin?"
"She's my friend. One of my best friends.. Why?" she asked looking at him.
"I don't know.. It just seemed you girls were only helping since I was her cousin and you either were afraid of her or something. Relena began laughing suddenly and Quatre blinked curiously at her. "What? What is so funny?"
Relena tried to calm down and smiled, "It is just that. You thought we are afraid of her. Hehehehe..No.." her smile soon faded just as quickly as it came. "No we are all friends and help each other out in any way. She needed our help and that means we give you help."
Quatre nodded some and sighed putting his hands into his pockets. "I see.. Are you and the others going to visit her now?"
She nodded some, "Yea.. We were going to try and steal her away and take her out to eat."
Suddenly Hilde came up to them as they were walking closer to the bus loading area. She looked at Quatre and then to Relena. "Hey we are leaving in about 10 or 20 minutes. We are trying to figure out how everyone is going to fit in the car."
"Everyone? What do you mean by everyone? All of us can fit in your car." Relena said.
"No not everyone. I still need to pick up Mariemaia at her school and then Quatre will be coming with us." Hilde said looking Relena in the eyes.
Quatre looked at her and blinked, "Huh?"
"Oh yea.. That's right. Dorothy said that we should take you home with us after school so. You are welcomed to join us." Hilde said in a emotionless voice.
"That's okay I can walk."
"Walk?! Oh no Quatre you are riding with us.. We can squeeze you in I'm sure!" Cathy said coming up to them with Sally and Midii behind them.
Finally after debating everything they all piled in the car. Hilde in the driver's seat, Sally on the passenger side, and Sally, Midii, Cathy and Quatre in the back.
Relena folded her arms over one another and looked at Hilde standing outside of the car. "Well. I guess I'm out of a ride it seems. I'll meet up with y'all later."
"Lena you can go sit on Quatre's lap." Hilde said with a smirk. All the other girls grinned, Quatre and Relena both blushed. "What?! No way! Mariemaia still needs to fit in here!", Relena exclaimed.
Sally then replied, "She can sit up here in the front with us."
"Why can't I?" Relena asked.
Midii rolled down her window, "Just get in here now!"
Deciding not to put up a fight this once she threw her bag in the trunk and got into the car moving over to sit in Quatre's lap. She looked to him, her cheeks still a bit red like his own, "I'm sorry about this."
He shook his head and smiled, "It is okay. Really."
