VJ: Well it seems that everone liked this one. This chapter's for The Celtic Witch. Thank you for reviewing and cool name! Sorry if it's moving slowly but this isn't an action one. Well here's the story!

"Good morning everyone! It looks like it's going to be quite a warm day today. Highs will reach the lower to mid 80s. Lows-" Veronica slapped the snooze button on her clock radio silencing the annoying voice. I hate that guy. She thought sliding out of bed. It wasn't fair. She was the only one who had to get up early. Well her mom and dad had to, but her mom didn't have to today. Her younger sisters home schooled so they didn't have to get up early. She used to home school until her mom started working as a doctor. She just didn't have the time. And her dad was a scientist of sorts. So he was to busy to. He had been a Mobile Suit designer during the war. Veronica grabbed some cloths and limped to the bathroom to shower.

"Good morning everyone! It looks like it's going to be quite a warm day today. Highs will reach the lower to mid 80s. Lows will be in the 60s. Now on to the music! First up is Linkin Park with "Crawling." Trowa got out of bed and stretched. He thought about going to Veronica's house and seeing if she wanted to walk to school with him. But then he decided not to, knowing that that would be rude. He listened to the music for a minute then turned it off. He grabbed his cloths and headed for the bathroom.

When Veronica got out of the bathroom she had put fresh band-aids on her scrapes and was dressed in a whit tee shirt and jean zip offs. Of course they were zipped off. She went to her bedroom to make her bed and she realized that she hadn't turned the alarm off. It had come back on. Music: "Last day of the rest of my life. I wish I would've known 'cause I didn't kiss my mama good-bye. I didn't tell that I loved her how much I cared or thank my pops for all the talks and all wisdom he shared." She liked the song so she left it on while she made her bed. After she had made her bed she headed downstairs. Her father was standing at the counter looking out the window and drinking coffee.

"Good morning Veronica." Said Dennis.

"Morning dad," Said Veronica. She poured herself a bowl of Cheerios. "What cha looking at?"

"Just the outdoors."

"Wishing you were young again?"

Dennis nodded. "Do you want me to drive you to school?"

"Nah. I think I'll walk." She finished her cereal then grabbed her backpack off the couch and headed out the door. Her dad followed her out the door and got into their green Subaru.

"I'll see you later." He said.

"Right." Said Veronica. She waved goodbye as he drove off. She looked down the street and saw Trowa walking towards her. She ran to meet him. "Hi."

"Hi." Said Trowa continuing to walk. She fell into step with him.

"Can I walk with you?" asked Veronica.

"Sure." They walked in silence for a while.

"Do you live far from me?" asked Veronica.

"Just a block." Said Trowa.

She nodded. "Do you live with your parents?"

"No. I was a Preventor but me and my friends had to go to school."

"So it's just going to be you and your friends at your house?" he nodded. "How many people will be at the house?"

"Eight more, four boys, four girls. They'll be here Saturday night."

She nodded. They walked on past the park. Its quiet natural surrounding inviting them in. Veronica wished they could stop and walk through the forest like park. But she knew they couldn't be late for school. They continued on to the school. When they got there they were early, but there were already lots of students outside the building.

"Hey Trowa!" called Jessica.

Veronica scowled in spite of herself and Trowa nodded. Jessica came up to them.

"Trowa can I talk to you?" she asked.

Trowa looked over at Veronica. "Just say it."

"Fine. I don't think you should hang out with her. Bad influence."

Veronica felt her cheeks go red and tears well up. I wonder if Trowa even likes me. She thought, starting to doubt herself.

Trowa raised an eyebrow. "I think I can pick my own friends." He said.

Jessica looked at him in shock. "Fine." She said hotly. Then she turned and walked away. When Trowa turned around Veronica was gone. He looked around and saw her entering the school. He jogged after her. She was a ways down the hall when he entered the school. He kept following her.

"Veronica! Wait!" he called.

But she didn't stop. Instead she went right into the girls' bathroom. Trowa stopped outside the door. I probably shouldn't go in. thought Trowa. On the other hand what if something's really wrong. He didn't go in. Instead he stood by the door and waited for her to come out. Eventually she did come out. She looked normal, except that she didn't seem to be quite herself. She didn't look as perky or as enthusiastic as she had. Instead she looked depressed. "Are you okay?" asked Trowa.

"Fine." She said, but her voice was thick. Like she'd been crying.

Trowa didn't ask any questions. The bell rang and they headed off to their classes.

VJ: Okay the person named Dennis is kind of like my dad but not exactly. He has light brown hair (dyed) and brown eyes. And if you're wondering Jessic has red hair and brown eyes. I have nothing against Jessica's I just thought it was a good name. Well keep reviewing. It keeps the story going. Later days!
