AN: Hey guys, I'm back!! I know I haven't updated in ages and I'd like to apologise to anybody who'd care to read this. Also, an additional warning, you might find that the characters might be a little OOC, well, its all for the story ok? So don't stress.
Anyway, here's chapter two -enjoy ***
BATTLING ANOREXIA - Chapter two: 'accepted'
"Which photo should I send in?" Heero looked up from his maths textbook to examine the two photos of Relena thrust in his face. Both were almost identical, except that one was smiling and the other one was more serious. Heero leant back against his pillow.
"None of them."
"What?!" Relena cried. Heero smirked and leant over the side of his bed and grabbed his bag. Unzipping the front pocket, he pulled out a snap shot and gave it to Relena.
"Send this one, it's my favourite picture of you."
Relena smiled at the photo, it was a picture taken nine months ago, just a few weeks after Heero and Relena were 'officially' going out. Relena's mouth was wide open, about to shove a hamburger down her throat when Heero whipped out a camera from nowhere and took a photo.
Relena blushed, "it's probably your favourite because my mouth is wide open."
Heero gave her a crooked grin, "maybe."
Relena blushed again and yanked the pillow from behind him and chucked it as his head. "You're train of thoughts are most shocking, Heero."
Heero laughed and leant over, catching her earlobe between his teeth, nibbling on them a bit before whispering, "I don't feel like studying at the moment. Do you?"
Relena shivered, then smiled. "How about a major make-out session?"
--
Relena met up with Hilde, who was waiting at the corner of her street. Hilde and Relena lived just a few blocks away from each other, and since Relena lived closer to the school, Hilde usually got up earlier and waited at the corner for Relena to show up.
"Hey, Hilde," Relena greeted.
"Hey," Hilde replied, and hitched her bag over her shoulder, falling into step with Relena.
"So, did you enter?"
Hilde raised a brow. "Enter what?"
Relena turned to stare at her friend. "You know, the modelling competition?"
"Oh, that," Hilde shrugged, "Duo informed me that it would be in my best interest that I don't. I would be too *busy* to spend time with him."
"Oh. You're so lucky then, I've spent the last two days as a nervous wreck, wondering if I get in or not. Did you know they're selecting 1500 girls to view? I mean, what are the chances of me being picked if I *do* get in?"
Hilde gave Relena a reassuring pat on the hand, "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll make it far. I don't know if you'll win or not, but I'm definitely sure you'll get through the first round."
"I sure hope so Hilde. I sure hope so."
--
Relena and Hilde walked through the courtyard to their normal spot. Hilde had found a bench that was seated next to a garden, in an isolated area near the back of the school. On the way, the pair spotted Dorothy Catalonia and her "followers."
"Dorothy, like, tell us about your letter!" one of the girls squealed.
Dorothy smirked and tossed her long hair over her shoulder, saying in a loud voice, "Oh, you know, I got accepted to the Treize-Ann modelling institute. I knew I'd get in, there's no *way* they can ignore a pretty face like mine." Dorothy gave Relena a superior smile.
Hilde scowled at the group as they walked by. "She made it in? The judges must be smoking some new type of kick ass dope or something. Either that or they're being bribed."
"I guess." Relena replied in a small voice.
--
The final bell for the day rang. Heero quickly made his way towards Relena's homeroom, negotiating his way quickly around the remaining students that loitered after school. Relena had just got out of homeroom, and was now grabbing numerous textbooks out of her locker and shoving it in her bag.
"Hey," Heero said quietly, hugging her from behind. Relena stilled her actions, and closed her eyes, loving the feel of him. Relena turned around in his embrace and linked her arms around his neck, tucking her head in the curve of his neck.
Heero quickly looked around, noting that there wasn't anybody around. Relieved, Heero stroked her hair and held her. They stayed that way for a while, until Relena broke out of the embrace and gave Heero a dazzling smile.
"Thanks for that," Relena murmured.
Heero gave her a slight smile. "No problem."
Relena closed her locker, grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder. The pair made their way out of the school, towards Relena's house that was located 10 minutes away from the school. The two walked quietly for awhile, until Heero spoke up. "There's something I have to tell you, Relena."
Relena glanced at Heero, "what is it?"
Heero drew in a breath. "I'm going to be out of town for the next month."
Relena looked up at him, understanding the meaning behind his words. With fear in her eyes, she clasped his hands. "Its another mission, isn't it? Heero, last time you went, you came back all shook up and it took me forever to break through your defences again."
Heero sighed, "I know, but I promise you that this time it wont be that terrible a mission."
"Well, can you at least tell me where you're going? What you're planning to do? That way I wont feel so helpless."
Heero sighed again. "Relena, you know I can't do that, telling you could put your life in danger. The least you know, the better."
Defeated, Relena sighed. "Ok."
They resumed walking, arriving in front of Relena's two storey house in no time. Relena looked towards her house then back at Heero. "When do you leave?"
"Tomorrow."
Relena nodded her head slowly; looking sad for a moment then cleared her face, careful to keep it blank. She succeeded for about three seconds before dropping her bag, and hugging Heero tightly. "Promise me you'll come back."
Heero remained quiet and Relena broke away to look up at his face. "Promise me!"
"Promise." Heero whispered, his voice hoarse, sounding rough. Relena touched her lips to his gently for a brief moment, then stepped back.
"Bye, Heero." Relena whispered.
Heero looked at her one last time, then turned and left. Relena watched until he was no longer in sight. Sighing, she picked up her bag and made her way into the large Victorian building.
--
Miliardo Peacecraft raised a blonde eyebrow at the sight of his sister, all pale and withdrawn. He folded the paper he had been reading and placed it on the table. He stood and went to greet his sister, who was climbing the staircase up to her room. "Anything wrong?"
Relena looked up, startled. Seeing her brother, she relaxed and shook her head slowly. Miliardo stared at his sister a moment longer, than turned, picking up an envelope that had been waiting on a small desk in the sitting room. He handed it to her, saying "this came for you in the mail."
Relena thanked him and turned and made her way up the rest of the staircase, then to her bedroom. Dropping her bag in the centre of her room, she flopped on her bed, and glanced at the envelope in her hand. It was indeed addressed to her, the words TREIZE-ANN printed clearly in the right corner of the envelope.
Excited, Relena ripped open the envelope, yanking out the folded piece of paper within. She unfolded it and read the short letter.
Dear Relena, We are pleased to inform you that you have made it through to the first round of our modelling competition. We ask that you may be present on Monday the 12th of July for the judging, at 11:00am sharp. We wish you the best of luck, and hope to see you there. Yours Sincerely, Treize and Anne Kushrenada.
Relena closed her eyes and held the letter close to her heart.
