Title: What's Popularity Gotta Do With It?
Author: chibidark angel
Summary: Duo, Quatre, Hilde, Dorothy and Wufei are the unpopular group in school; Heero, Trowa, Relena, Noin and Zechs are the popular group. Put them together and what do you get? Pairings!
Warnings: YAOI! YURI! If you are offended by guy-on-guy or girl-on-girl action, pleeze turn away now! AU, slight Treize bashing, and cursing, that's all I can think of now.
Pairings: 1x2, 3x4, 5x6, DxR, HxN
Disclaimer: I do NOT own them, if I did, do you seriously think I'd have let duo stop heero from killing Relena? No, I'd have made him join in with heero and then go for some good old guy-on-guy action!
A/N: oh my god oh my god oh my god! I swear to god I'm about to die from shock! When I posted this up on wednesday, I so wasn't expecting to get the amount of reviews I got; I was about to die from shock, as my friend will tell you, so… ARIGATOU MINNA-SAMA!!! You all totally made my day! ^_^ Also, I totally want to apologise for the lateness, see, I've a mean mother who wouldn't let me on the compy all week, so while this should have been done around Tuesday or Wednesday, I couldn't get on to finish it, so I'm only getting on to post it up today, gomen!
RiverWhiteDragon: thanks for the review, I love duo in the chapter too! Oh, and glad you like the maxie-kins, I just had to put that in, and glad to hear you hate pastoral care too, I swear it's a bloody nightmare! Hope you like the chapter!
asdf: oh yeah, you like the plot, I did try to come up with something interesting, and unfortunately, we will not be finding out what happens when they meet until the next chapter, sorry! Thanks for the review, hope you like the next chapter!
darien sucks: thank you very much, glad you like the story, and wee, I'm updating go me! ^_^
AmourDuGreenleaf: ooo, fantastic? *tries to hide blush* thank you very much, I'm so happy you like my story, hope you didn't have to wait to much for this chapter, pleeze read and review, and yeah I like the teasing between duo and wufei, I could just totally see that happening!
kai/rei4ever: thanks a bunch for the review, and yeah, people are stupid if they think they can mess with my cool (borrowed, unfortunately) characters, cause nobody messes with them! Hope you like this chapter! ^_^
Dune: yeah, the next chapter is here, hope you like. Thanks for the review and as to how they will interact… well, we'll have to wait and see! ^_~
AngeloflightPd: arigatou for the review, glad you are enjoying my story. As for your question, well, no, you don't learn anything in that class. Basically, all we ever done in pastoral care is talk about drugs or alcohol, or getting to know each other, it was really boring and we had a really cranky teacher, I'm just really happy that I don't have to do it anymore, seeing as I'm going into sixth year, huzza! Hope you like the next chapter!
Herald Mistylenna: oh, you like my descriptions, I did try to make them unusual, and arigatou for the review, hope you like the next chapter!
Gypsy Tollamer: *lips twitching* I actually found your review slightly amusing, but thank you for the review, I'm glad you like the characters and my different uptake, and thank you for pointing out the em, legal thingys, they did make me think. So, I thought and I came up with a way to have swords: there's a fencing and duelling club, which will be implied in this chapter, and explored in later ones. Also, no one would tell, the teachers really don't give a shit as long as they don't know what's going on, and mark's supposed to have this 'tough guy' image, so he wouldn't go around telling, well, that's the way it goes in my school, I mean, people have gone around with lighters and penknives in my school, but no one tells, so nothings really done about it! anyhoo, thank you very much for the review, I will try to make the school a bit more believable, also, I have a question for you: are you over 20? Or a lawyer, or maybe a philosophy student? I don't mean any offence, but something just strikes me about the way you wrote about the legal issues and so forth. Pleeze read more, I hope you like the next chapter!
Chain: ooo, thank you! ^_^ yeah, I can totally see duo doing that too, I swear the idea just popped into my head and I was like 'oh my god I have to put that in!' so I did, and I loved it, I'm glad you did too! Actually, I don't really like relena, I'm a big fan of relena bashing, and I like to do it myself, it's just that seeing as she's a lesbian, I don't really mind her, I only really can't stand her when she's all clingy and tries to break heero and duo up, but I fixed that, so it's alright! Hey, I'm a blond! Well, slightly, my hair was blond until I got it cut and then it turned brown… weird I know ^_^V but hey, I make blond jokes myself, so I don't mind! Yeah, heero and duo are my absolute favourite couple in the world, and then quatre and trowa, so I'm going to try and get them together soon, we'll just have to wait and see, cause I don't have a clue! Enjoy the next chapter! ^_^
karrafear: oh, you're impressed, that's cool, I feel very important now! Eh, anyhoo, just ignore that! ^_^V I'm just really happy you like my fic, and yeah, this is really fun to write, I love just silly humour and fluff, I don't think I'll be putting any serious bits, in, well, maybe semi-serious, but nothing angsty, don't worry! Hope you like this chapter! ^_^
Misura: oh, you like the maxie-kins and yeah, it is about time wufei got his own back, I mean, I was just thinking that duo always gets away with calling wufei names, so I thought that instead of getting all red in the face about it, I'd let wufei have his own go at it! yeah, I like hilde in this, just being friends with duo, I think they're cute together, and yeah, I made a likeable Dorothy, and quatre's cute as always, which I love too, glad you like the chapter, hope you enjoy this one just as much! ^_^
cryearthstearsfalltou: sick humour is lots of fun, glad you enjoyed it! hope you like the next chapter, with humour, just not as sick (well maybe if you don't like the colour pink!) arigatou for the review!
GoldenRat: yeah, thanks a bunch for the review, glad you like the descriptions, I do try! And yes, you're wish is fulfilled: this chapter is from the popular groups POV, hope you like!
Sefarina Malaika: arigatou for the review, glad you like the cuteness, and yeah, go hilde, I like for her to kick ass! Hope you like this chapter!
sapphire-wolf: thanks for the review, glad you like the story, and yeah, duo's nuts, what other way would he be? Hope you like the chapter!
sandybunny: your name is soooo cute, I love it! thanks for the review, I'm so happy you like the chapter! Pleeze read and review more, hope you like the next chapter!
LadyDragonWolfKnight: yeah, you like the cuteness, arigatou for the review! Yes, I know they're violent, that would be my influence, I'm a tad violent myself! ^_^V if you don't like it, I'll try to tone it down a bit, well, there shouldn't be that much violence in the later chapters, so don't worry! Hope you like the next chapter, enjoy!
Nez: thanks so much for the review, I'm so glad you like the whole strong quatre thing, I would rant right now about how I think it's sooo unfair for people to turn quatre into this weak little thing, I can't stand it!!! see, there I go ^_^V just know that I will in no way turn quatre or anyone for that matter (except for people I hate!) into a sobbing pansy! Hope you find the next part just as interesting, thanks a bunch!
Dead Angel: yeah, thanks for the review, it was very much appreciated. As for mark, well, he started on them again cause firstly duo painted his car pink, and also cause he's just stupid! Kay, hope you like the next chapter!
Romennar: Of course wufei wouldn't get in trouble, he's wufei, plus mark wouldn't tell, and nobody else really gives a shit *shrugs* it's a pretty laid-back sort of school. Thanks for the review, hope you like this chapter!
Gwluvergurl: wow, oh my gosh, thank you soooo much for the review, it was so nice! I'm glad you like my plot and pairings, cause I'm just yaoi and yuri crazy, so I had to put all my fav pairings in it! oh, and thank you soooo much for putting me on your favourites list, that means sooo much to me, you are such a nice reviewer1 hope you like the next chapter! ^_^
Mookie: oh, thank you for the review, I'm so happy you like the chapter! Yeah, I like hilde; I can see her as the strong female, beating the shit out of guys type. Yeah, clichés are a trouble in highschool fics, and some people, like minor characters I don't like, will be so clichéd, but the main characters will hopefully be not- I will be trying to steer away from that. Hope you like the next chapter!
Tari of Nargothrond: oh, your name is cool- tari, that's the name for humans in stargate, do you watch that? Oh, thanks for the review, I'm glad you like my darn good fic, I always like that word, darn, it's so cool! Anyhoos, pleeze review this chapter, hope you like it!
Sobakasu: huzza, you like my group, and you think it's funny! ^_^ oh, I'm glad you like the group, I'm trying to get them to work well together, and I'm glad you can see them, hope you like the next chapter!
ryuu-chan2000: yeah, thanks for the review, I'm glad you like what I've done with the characters, I just had to make wufei more than a justice maniac, and I'm glad it paid off. I'm going to try and write longer chapters, but I'm not that great, cause I have a tendency to go off track way too easily, but I'll try. Hope you like this chapter!
aka-kitsune-chan: yeah, thank you sooo much for the review, you're so nice! ^_^ oh, I love all those type of stories too, so I thought I'd give it a wack myself! Hope this turns out to be as fun and excellent as you want, pleeze review!

Chapter Two: The Other Half
There was a sudden squeal of tyres, a beeping of horns and a lot of angry shouts as a metallic blue motorbike zoomed around a corner, squeezing between two cars as it made its way into the school parking lot. In one fluid motion, the owner parked the bike beside two others and removed his helmet, freeing a head of tousled brown hair. Cobalt blue eyes glanced around their surroundings before turning to their left, resting on two other teens who were leaning against their respective motorbikes, smoking.
"Towa, Zechs," Heero said in greeting, walking up to the two and leaning on Trowa's bike beside him.
"Heero," Trowa greeted quietly, while Zechs offered the packet of cigarettes as a welcome, pulling them back when Heero shook his head.
"You know, smoking stunts your growth," Heero smirked, chuckling softly as he looked up at the two tall, six-footer teens.
"Ah, you see, that is exactly the plan," Zechs drawled, holding out the cigarette, as if to examine it.
"Yeah, if we get any taller, we'll have to constantly crouch to get through the school," Trowa added jokingly.
"Hey guys, how's it going?" came a shout, and the three boys looked up to see a blond-haired girl waving at them as she steered a hot pink convertible into the parking lot, pulling it right beside Heero's bike.
"Hey Relena," Trowa called, while Heero grunted, nodding in greeting.
"Hey sis," Zechs called, "Sorry about not waiting, but you take too long to get ready.
"Actually, the reason I took so long is because I was getting your things that you forgot in you haste to leave," Relena smirked, raising an eyebrow mockingly, as she reached across to the passenger side of the car, picked up two items and tossed them to Zechs.
Leaving his cigarette in his mouth, Zechs reached out both his hands and caught the two objects: his mobile phone (I think they're called cell phones in America) and his rapier (a type of sword)
"Mom says to remind you that you have duelling club after school and to ring her when you're finished so she can pick the sword-"
"Rapier," Zechs quickly corrected her.
"Whatever," Relena sighed, rolling her eyes, "So she can pick the SWORD up and take it to get it fitted for a new sheath and have the handle fixed up cause the colours are starting to fade or something like that."
"Alright then, thanks sis," Zechs nodded, hanging the rapier from his belt and putting his phone in his trouser pocket.
"Oh yeah, you'd better remember where you left your car Relena, so you don't get it mixed up with Mark's," Trowa grinned, as he spoke.
"Mark? Why?" Relena asked puzzled, as she got out of her car and locked it.
Trowa's grin grew wider in evil delight, as he pointed across the car park to where a pink convertible, identical to Relena's stood.
"Wha-?" Relena gasped, "That's Mark's car?"
"Yup," Trowa replied, and the group laughed at the sight of the once black car transformed into a pink one.
"What happened?" Heero asked, grinning.
"Well, we don't really know," Trowa shrugged.
"Yeah, he just drove in here, parked the car, got out and stomped into the school, muttering, 'Fucking Maxwell,' under his breath," Zechs added, taking a drag of his cigarette.
"You know smoking is really bad for you, it can seriously damage your lungs," Relena said, wrinkling her nose at the smoke floating by her head.
"Yeah yeah, we know," Zechs sighed, waving a hand in a shrug-off manner.
"That's why we only smoke like once a day," Trowa added.
There was a sudden revving sound from the entrance to the school, and the group turned to see a sleek silver motorbike speed around the corner, only to slow down and park beside Zech's black one.
"Hey Noin," Relena smiled, as the owner, a girl with short, dark navy-blue hair that fell over her face very much in the same way as Trowa's, pulled off her helmet, and hopped off her bike.
"Hey guys," she chirped brightly, as she walked up to them, hopping up beside Zechs on his bike.
Quickly, she grabbed Zechs' cigarette and threw it on the ground, stubbing it out.
"I wish you wouldn't do that," Zechs sighed, "and it's always to me, why don't you ever do it to Trowa?"
"Cause I'm too lazy to reach across and grab it," Noin grinned, shrugging, "Oh and Trowa, you should put that out, if Coach Flynn ever found out, he would kick you straight off the basketball team."
"No he wouldn't," Trowa replied monontonely, and everyone knew he was right.
Heero and Trowa were the star basketball players of the school, hell, the only reason the other players were there was because they had to have five on a team. Heero and Trowa could get away with nearly anything with their basketball coach, except of course, skipping practise and matches. Never the less, Trowa took one last, long drag of his cigarette, and threw it to the ground, stubbing it out with his foot.
"There see? That wasn't so bad," Noin smiled, satisfied, till she got a look at Heero's amused expression.
"Hey, what's up Heero? Typically, you're all silent and expressionless," she asked.
"Oh, I was just thinking of Mark's car over there," Heero replied, chuckling, as he pointed over at the pink car.
Noin looked up, confused at first, but burst out laughing when she caught sight of the car.
"Oh my god, that's Mark's 'babe magnet'?" she giggled, "What happened?"
"Well, we don't really know, but from what Zech told me, I'd say some guy called Maxwell painted it that colour," Heero smirked.
"Maxwell? You mean the church guy?" Noin asked in surprise.
"Church guy?" Heero questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah, that religious fanatic," Relena gasped, "you mean he did this?"
"Seems so," Noin replied, nodding.
"I don't think I've ever heard of this guy," Trowa frowned.
"No, not a lot of people have, I mean, I only know him to see, cause he's always dressed like a priest," Noin told him.
"Yeah, he's really religious too," Relena added, "But he also likes to play practical jokes, as you can see. Come to think of it, didn't something happen between Mark and Maxwell last year?"
"Mmhmm," Noin nodded, "No one really knows what happened, only that by the end of it, Mark was pretty beaten up."
"Woah, it must've been pretty bad," Zechs whistled, "Well, come on, we'd better get in."
The group nodded, and started to make their way into the school, Relena first grabbing her bag with her pom-poms and stuff out of her car, before fixing her cheerleading uniform and catching up with the rest. They were walking up towards the stairs up to the entrance of the school, when there was a sudden shout of, "Hey Noin!" They all looked up to see a guy on a skateboard, leap from the top step to the ground before skating on up to her.
"Hey Sam," Noin waved, "What's up?"
"There's this big skating competition up in the park on Saturday, first of the year, and we could really do with someone good to play out the beats. It's gonna be $300 for the day- one until around nine, you interested?" the guy, Sam, asked, looking at her with pleading brown eyes.
"Yeah sure, I was going to check out the contest anyway, I'll be there at about twelve to set up, kay?"
"Great, thanks Noin, you're the best, I'll see ya there," Sam grinned, and turned, skating off.
As the best dj in the school, and one of the prime supporters for the skaters group in the school, Noin was always in demand for parties, function, competitions and so forth, which she always performed in, doing what she done best. The group continued on up the steps and into the school, walking down the hall, while people waved and called out, "Hi!" to them.
"Relena!" came a shout from several voices, and Relena turned to face a bunch of girls, all dressed in the same black miniskirt and black and red tank top as her, running towards her.
"Hey girls, all ready to get back into action?" she smiled, waving at them.
"Yeah, definitely," one cried, her onyx eyes sparkling.
"So, when are the try-out for the new people going to be held?" another girl, with curly brown hair, asked, "after all, the football season starts in a couple of weeks, and so does basketball, right Heero?"
Heero 'hn'd,' and nodded, glaring at the girls who started giggling and twittering. Relena rolled her eyes and ushered the girls to one side to discuss the try-outs, as she was now the head-cheerleader, while Heero tried to focus his mind on things other than ways to kill annoying girls.
Suddenly, there was a shout of, "Heero! Watch out!"
Heero turned and instinctively caught the football that was heading straight for his face. Looking up, he caught sight of a group of football players down the hall; one of which was waving at him.
"Man, that was excellent Heero, you've got great reflexes," the guy called, "I still can't understand why you won't join the football team."
"Basketball," Heero called din his monotone voice, as he threw the ball effortlessly back.
"Pity," the guy shrugged, as he caught the ball, then turned back to his friends.
Turning back around himself, Heero found Zechs talking to a member of the duelling club about starting up meetings and examining his rapier, and Trowa chatting to another member of the basketball team, informing him that practises would be starting back up on Friday and that there would be try-outs next Wednesday for new members, and him and Heero had to be there. Suddenly, the bell rang and the group reformed as people began making their way to their classes.
"What do we have?" Noin asked.
"Pastoral Care in room 26," Heero replied, and the whole group let out a groan before sighing and heading off to class.
Alrightee then! That's that chapter! Next one: we see the pointless class that is Pastoral Care and our groups are pushed together! So, what did you think of this chapter? I thought it was boring, but my friend says it isn't, so pleeze let me know what you think by reviewing, pleeze! Farethee well! ^_^
