Chapter 3
Lunch. It's the best part of the day, well in my opinion anyway. The only thing I like about Mondays is that we have lunch first. We'd just left A.P. Calc and were making our way to the cafeteria. I was about two feet in front of everyone else, of course because I hadn't eaten since breakfast and that was…four whole hours ago! I got hungry easily because I had a fast metabolism. My dad did as well. My mum could never understand how we could go out and eat something and then return home and still be hungry. So we got our food, sat down and started eating.
"Where does he put it all?" WuFei asked, somewhat amazed and yet disgusted at the same time.
"We don't know. We haven't been able to figure it out." Quatre said before I could. But then again I did have half a slice ofpizza and fries in my mouth. That was when Trowa and Meiran showed up.
"Hey, why are you guys so late?" Quatre asked because I'd just stuffed some more fries in my mouth.
"I was in the toilet." Meiran said.
"I got a detention." Trowa answered, flopping down in the seat next to Quatre. By this time I was able to speak without losing any of my food, so I did.
"Again? Why?" I'm such an intellectual speaker, aren't I?
"That boy, Nick, was making fun of Quatre again. So I punched him and broke his nose." Quatre smiled.
"Wow, doesn't he ever learn? That's like the 10th time you've beaten him up."
"Yeah." I contributed. A powerful speech, I know. Trowa then turned to Quatre and they got lost in their own conversation. Meiran sat next to me and we got into a heated discussion about…cheese. I mean cheese is so not the greatest food in the world. But Meiran seems to think so, because, and I quote 'There are so many different types of cheese, so there is so many to choose from'. But cheese is SMELLY. I think the best the best invention since the microwave…or was that before the…oh never mind. Anyway the best food is the sandwich. You can put so many things in it.
"Look! I'm not gonna argue with someone who thinks that Johnny Depp is ugly!" I told her
"But the fact of the matter is that HE IS UGLY!"
"WRONG! He is so fit, especially in 'Pirates of the Caribbean'." (1) But Meiran still wasn't listening. Then, a slightly nasal voice chipped in,
"Johnny Depp did look nice as 'Captain Jack Sparrow' in 'Pirates of the Caribbean'." And he gave a small smirk as well. I was stunned, and I wasn't the only one. I mean it didn't seem like Heero to offer to speak, but I quickly overcame my surprise and slung an arm over his shoulders. A shiver went through my body from the contact. Heero tensed under my arm but relaxed almost immediately.
"Yeah! Heero has the right idea. He Is Fit. Full stop. End of story." Heero hadn't shrugged my arm off so it was up to me to remove it myself. Way too hard. So I put it around his waist. He didn't do anything. I was about to talk to Heero when suddenly I saw a flash of pink and my whole body tensed involuntarily. Meiran noticed.
"Hey Duo, are you okay?" she asked.
"No. Her Royal Pinkness is coming in at 3 o'clock. I think she's heading directly for us." I growled. I removed my arm from Heero's waist and turned to face in her direction fully. But when she arrived she just spoke to Heero, ignoring the rest of us.
"Hello Heero. How are you liking it here so far?I was wondering if you would like to come over tonight. We could go to the movies and have dinner together. But if you're going to be my...ahem...friend then you can't hang around with riff-raff like these people." I rolled my eyes at her. I mean I'd heard this so many times. But she still went on.
"I mean, why would you want to hang around with people like this? Take Duo for example," she sneered at me, "He's just a gutter-rat that my father decided to take in out of the goodness in his heart. And he's a fag anyway." Heero's eyes widened slightly at this, and for no-emotional Heero, that spoke volumes. My heart sank at this. I hadn't even thought about how they would react. Relena saw it too
"You mean you didn't know! Well I'm surprised he hasn't hit on you already. Him and his queer friends." My fists were clenched hard enough to draw blood I was so angry. I glared for all I was worth, but it made no difference whatsoever. "Come on Heero. You too WuFei. Let's leave the fags alone." She said haughtily.
"No." WuFei said and turned back to his food. Relena looked stunned for a minute then she turned to Heero.
"Well come on Heero. Leave your brother and come with me. I need to give you the details of tonight."
"No." Heero told her. Meanwhile I was stunned. I thought they were gonna leave.
"What? Oh don't be silly Heero. You don't want to stay here with these freaks of nature." I was livid. I was gonna hit her. I started to rise. I didn't care if it was against the rules or that I shouldn't hit a girl. I was beyond caring, but Heero's voice stopped me cold.
"Fuck off Relena. I want nothing to do with you." he told her calmly.Relena was speechless. She stood there, doing a remarkable impression of a fish out of water. That is opening and closing her mouth. Then she turned and stormed out of the cafeteria. I was speechless too, and that was a feat onto itself. I was about to speak when the bell went. I hung behind to talk to Heero.
"Thanks Heero." I said to him, "But why'd you wanna stay with us instead of going with Relena."
"Firstly, you were the first people to befriend us. Secondly, I don't mind if you're gay and thirdly, I HATE the colour pink." And with that he walked off to his brother.
Wow. You learn a new thing everyday!
xXx
Sorry this took so long to get out but that writer's block just wouldn't budge. ;
(1) In "Pirates of the Caribbean" he does look GORGEOUS!
