CHAPTER THREE
MEET THE GANG
As Rei and I walked back to the lunch table, there was a nervous pit of tension steadily multiplying in the pit of my stomach.
What if they didn't like me?
Or if they made fun of me?
My time was up it was now time to face the music.
OoOoO
I fiddled nervously with my ring while Rei was conversing with the "gang", would they reject me?
I hoped not.
I didn't have anyone else.
After what seemed like a intense discussion Rei waved me over. I sat down and looked at the faces surrounding me.
Rei kicked Blaise under the table, suppressing the cry of pain she turned to me, "So, Mina, what brings you to our neck of the woods?"
"My friends." I replied.
Blaise looked thoughtful, "What a coincidence, I sit here to escape your friends too."
Hotaru snorted, "Che! Yeah right. You sit here so you can make goo goo eyes at Heero."
Blaise glared at her with enough force to melt metal.
Duo blinked, "Has Heero been teaching you his Death Glare?"
"Yes." Blaise looked smug, like the cat who ate the canary.
"He's been doing more than teaching." said Draco under his breath.
Heero didn't even look up from his lunch, Blaise's face lost its smugness.
She snorted, "Like you should be talking Mr. I-Wear-My-Hickeys-Like-Battle-Scars."
Draco was quiet after that.
Rei and Ami Mizuno simultaneously rolled their eyes, Ami was in my Calculus class.
Leaning forward, Rei said, "I think it's time for some introductions."
"You've already met Blaise and Draco, next to Blaise is her boy toy Heero Yuy. Across from him is Duo Maxwell and his girlfriend Parvati Patil and her brother Prem, Parv's twin, Padma, is here somewhere." She said searching the table.
"Padma's with Quatre, they stayed upstairs for lunch today." Piped up Prem smugly.
"That means they're off making out somewhere, where was I? Oh yeah, next to Prem is the future Mrs. Patil, Hotaru Tomoe, next to her is Harry Potter, across from him is Ami Mizuno, next to her should be Lita Kino." Said Rei.
Turning to Trowa Barton, "Where did Lita go?"
"She's sitting with Jun Jun today, something about Nephrite and ass kicking."
At Mina's confused look, Rei elaborated. "Jun Jun and Nephrite are more friends that are part of our group. They sit on the other side of the lunch room. Back to the intros, Lita's boyfriend Trowa Barton. Next to him is Wufei Chang, who's onna, Ginny Weasley, is not here either."
"Hey, Fei Fei where did Ginny go?" she said addressing the black haired boy who was conversing with Trowa.
He glared, "She had to sit with her moron brother and his girlfriend today. Don't call me Fei Fei."
"Seamus Finnegan and Dean Thomas are right there at the end." she said pointing toward two boys one with tow headed hair and another one with dark skin and black hair.
"Shay's the one with the blonde hair."
I nodded still staring at the said Irishman.
"Hello?" said Blaise waving a hand in front of my face.
"Anyone home?" asked Duo knocking on my head.
"Ow!" I exclaimed rubbing my injured brain.
"Don't do that!" said Parvati swatting at Duo.
The ensuing fight that broke out was loud and vibrant to say the least.
Seeing the look on my face Heero said, "Don't worry Maxwell and Patil are always like this. This their foreplay."
My eyebrows rose, "Oi, Duo, go find a bush or something." shouted Prem.
Parvati gave him the finger, but they left anyway.
Hotaru turning to me said, "So, have any plans after school?"
I shook my head, "Good, then let's go shopping."
"Why?" I asked curiously.
"Because if you hang out with us we need to get you some cool clothes." interjected Blaise.
"Are you saying her clothes suck?" asked Rei innocently.
Blaise made a face.
Rei made one back.
Ami, Hotaru, and Draco rolled their eyes in unison.
Rei and Blaise made faces at them jointly.
I sighed.
SIXTH PERIOD AP ENGLISH
As I slid into a seat farther in the back than I was accustomed to, I was surprised to find Duo Maxwell sliding into the seat next to me.
I blinked.
He looked back at me, "What do I have something on my face?" he asked.
Blinking again, I said, "No, it's just that I thought you hated me." I blurted out before I could stop myself.
Duo was unfazed, "No. Where would you get that idea?" he said curiously.
"At lunch..." I said trailing off.
"Oh, that. I think Heero is rubbing off on me. I was just surprised, really."
"Why?"
"Because I can't really fathom anyone wanting to leave a position at the top of social hierarchy for us." he said matter-of-factly. "Whoa, I used a lot of big words."
I smiled, "Well being at the "top of social hierarchy" as you put it. Wasn't too much fun. But sitting with you guys, that's interesting. I found out why Relena hates Blaise so much."
Duo snorted, "It's really as much Heero's choice as it is Blaise's."
"But she doesn't see things that way. You have to understand if Relena wants something she usually gets it, it's not the fact that she actually wants Heero all that much it's just that now that Blaise has him, Relena "needs" him like air to breathe."
"I never looked at it that way."
"That's because you're a dude." I said grinning.
"Well I never felt more like meat in my life after this conversation." said Heero as he and Ami slid into the two seats across from us.
"How do you do that?" I asked enviously.
"What can I say it's a gift." said Heero dryly.
Ami rolled her eyes, "A gift that doesn't seem to work when Relena's in the vicinity." she pointed out.
"Thank kami that she's not in AP English."
I snorted, "Like she would understand any of the words."
"Ouch." said Duo.
"Aren't you confusing her with Lavender? She asked me how to spell 'CIA' last year."
"Same dif." I replied.
"She's got a point there, it's like they're joined at the hip." pointed out Duo.
"Like the same entity?" put in Heero.
"Pretty much. It was horrifying when they went off somewhere and left me with Dorothy Catalonia, the aspiring vampiress." I said.
Duo and Heero snickered, Ami was grinning.
Our conversation was forced to break up when the teacher finally entered, Ms. McGonagall, and started her lecture.
"Now, in your groups you are to discuss the problems faced by Romeo and Juliet that were caused by their warring families. I want a paragraph on the similarities and differences between the Montagues and Capulets. Get started you have the rest of the period to work on this."
"Isn't warring kind of stretching it?" asked Heero.
"Not really. They were like in a gang war." said Duo.
"Never mind that. Why do we have to do this play of all plays. I hate it. I'm all for love and stuff but this play is so overdone." I said sighing.
Ami nodded agreement.
Duo smiled devilishly, "Hey, Hee-man, do ya know what I heard?"
Heero only muttered under his breath, "Only that it's bad."
Without preamble Duo dove into his piece of information, er... gossip.
"I heard that we're doing a play." he said grinning sinisterly.
Heero, having guessed which play Duo was speaking of started to bang his head on the table.
"Ok, I'll bite what play?" asked Ami.
"Romeo and Juliet." he said grinning as Heero groaned.
"Why's that bad?" I asked.
"Because Relena is always head of any committee and that means she does casting." replied Heero forlornly, well, as forlornly as Heero Yuy can sound.
"Oh. Tough luck man." said Ami.
I frowned, that doesn't sound right. "Wait, Relena doesn't do that anymore. Apparently she pissed someone off and they made Padma committee head this year."
Heero's distress soon disappeared, "Seriously?" he asked.
"Yeah, you could try out though." I said cheerfully.
Duo snorted, "Yeah right."
"Why shouldn't Heero try out?" I asked.
"Because he doesn't want to." said Duo.
"How do you know that?"
"Because I know Heero."
"Do I get any say in this conversation?" interjected Heero.
"No!" said Duo and I in unison.
Ami just rolled her eyes and started doing the work. Following Ami's lead Heero started his as well.
The pair continued bickering until they were interrupted by Heero.
"Okay, it probably be a good idea to start working now. Ami and I are almost done but we need your input so stop arguing and work." he said firmly.
"We need the similarities and differences between the two "warring" families." put in Ami primly.
"No problemo." said Duo cheerfully, writing similarities in one column and differences in another.
"Okay, how about this one, they were both living in Verona, Italy." I added.
"That's good. How about, they hated each other." chimed Duo.
"They also were wealthy." I put in.
Aswe kept adding ideas the space in column one was disappearing.
"That's good but we need differences now." said Ami.
"How about one of them was named Capulet and the other Montague." suggested Duo cheerfully.
Heero rolled his eyes, Ami sighed, and I grinned, this wasn't going so badly after all.
LAST BELL OF THE DAY RINGS
I was surprised to be mobbed by a bunch a different girls at my locker after eigth period.
I could pick out Ami's blue hair next to a girl with lighter blue hair, stepping forward Ami took her arm.
"Hi Mina."
"Hi Ami." I said nervously, more introductions?
"Oh, I forgot, you guys never met. I'll make the introductions this time I guess. Um, right next to me is Para Para Sapphire, the green haired girl next to her is Jun Jun Emerald, then Vesu Vesu Ruby, the other red head is Ginny Weasley, the brunette next to her is Lita Kino, next to her is Cere Cere Topaz. Oh I forgot Padma, this is Padma Patil, Parvati's twin." finished Ami pointing at a dark skinned girl.
"So, are we waiting for anyone else?" I asked tentatively.
"Yes, Rei, Hotaru, and Blaise, actually here they come." replied Lita.
It was true for sure enough came Rei and Hotaru and Blaise, who was straggling into view.
Blaise seemed to be unusually flustered which was odd for the usually collected girl.
Rei and Hotaru seemed to be wearing identical smirks. "What happened here?" asked Ginny wearily.
Blaise's blush turned to a scowl, Rei's smirk widened immeasurably.
"Oh, nothing, just we interrupted Blaise in her mauling of the local innocents." said Hotaru innocently.
The group of girls burst into laughter and giggles and loud guffaws. It was rather deafening, really.
