"Just what part of 'on my last nerve' don't you understand, Mr. Maxwell!" Ms. Darkholmes nearly roared. "You're on this ice mister! You do not wait for twenty minutes before coming to my class! Now tell me! What part of 'on my last nerve' did I not make clear?!"
Duo gave her a cocky smile and started walking out the door again. "And what part of 'you need to take more hormone pills' don't you understand?" The class errupted into laughter. "See you later, teach." Unfortunately, however, Ms. Darkhomles was not about to be embarrased infront of the class without a fight. Her long spidery fingers reached out and snatched Duo by the braid.
"That was certianly a very create comeback, Mr. Maxwell." She turned him around so that her pinched and pruney face was directly infront of his. "I'll be sure to mention it in your suspension notice!"
The class fell into a hush. "And since I can no longer trust you or any of your friends to accompany you there, I think an escort is in order." She took out her roll book, Duo tried to dash away but Ms. Darkhomes' grip on his braid stayed strong. She closed her book and scanned the class for a student. "Mr. Heero Yuy! I trust you don't mind taking this hoodlum down to the dean's office?"
"Who the hell is Heero?!"
"One of the new students I introduced to the class on Monday. I trust you were sleeping, as usual!" Duo shrugged.
"Hey, you're the one who told me not to disrupt the class' 'learning experience.'" The class began laughing again. Ms. Darkhomles' body began to tremble with anger. "Oh, what's the matter, did I make you mad?"
"Mad? I am livid! I just do not understand you!"
"Of course you don't! Nobody understands me! I'm 16, and you're 61! Do the math! Need time? We've got all day, this Yuy kid, wherever in the class he is, doesn't even know the way to the office. He just got here two days ago. Or has that sadistic little mind of yours been so ravaged by menopaused that it's already giving way to senility?"
"Why that's where you come in." Her engraged features suddenly relaxing, her collagen stung lips curling up into a devious smile. "He'll know just where to go because you'll tell him. After all, in the very first month of school, Mr. Duffy had gotten to know you better than most students will ever know him in an entire life time, Mr. Maxwell."
His eyes scanned the boisterous class and fell upon his nervous friend, his violet orbs pleading for a defense on his part. Quatre just shrugged a nervous shrug and continued to simply be a mere spectator. She wrote a referal on her trademark sickeningly pink Post It Notes, and slapped one onto his chest.
"There you are, probably the only thing you'll ever get out of this class. A three day suspension. I, on the other hand, have recieved quite a few new grey hairs thanks to you." She released his braid and pointed towards the door.
Oh, no, Duo thought to himself, she's not getting the last word. "New grey hairs? Are you sure it's just not time to break out the hair dye again?" And with that, he was out the door.
"Ugh." Duo grimanced, holding his braid to his face with his thumb and index finger. "My hair'll never be clean again." His eyes rolled down and stared at the evidence of his crimes stuck to his chest. The office was now right down the hall. He turned and faced the tall fence separating him from freedom. He poked his head outside the building and searched the ground to make sure no one was looking.
He clutched the disgustingly pink square of paper in his hand, crumpled it up into a ball, and let it fall to the floor.
"Tsk, tsk." Came a voice from behind him. He whipped around to see a boy about the same age as him with ocean blue eyes and chestnut hair, looking at him with a grin. "So now you're gonna add littering to your list of misdemeanors?"
His lavender eyes narrowed. "How long have you been watching?"
"Since we left class."
Duo was surprised. He hadn't seen, heard, or detected him in any way, shape, or form. "So, you're Heero?"
"Yeah. See, funny thing happened to me yesterday. I met Mr. Duffy, and, if my memory serves me correctly, I believe his office was over there." He gestured towards the office.
Shit!, he thought as he felt his body begin to lock up. Heero leaned his body up against the arch of the doorway and peered at him from beneath his earthen colored bangs. "And ditching too?"
Duo subconciously rolled his fingers into fists. "You tell anyone what I'm about to you, and you'll have to eat your meals through a straw."
Heero chuckled. "I'd like to see you try."From the look on his face, Duo could tell he wasn't bluffing. "You can go ahead and leave. I won't stop you. Just give me a good reason to let you go."
His carmel colored eyebrows drew together in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"Why leave? The alternative is just going to the office so you can leave anyway? What? You don't want your mom to find out?"
Duo paused and stared at his shoes.
"I'm waiting."
"What's it to you? Why am I even talking to you?"
"Because you don't want me to call security."
Duo cursed under his breath. He had him there. All he had to do was shout for them, and, judging by those muscles, he probably wouldn't be able to beat it before they got there. Heero suddenly exhaled.
"Fine, go. I'll think of some excuse when I get back." Duo gave him a puzzled look. "Just go."
Duo nodded his head, and, almost reluctantly, scaled the chainlink fence, jumped down, and dashed off into the parking lot.
