Juuban High - Day 10

Friday finally rolled around which was a relief because I really needed some time off of school. It was only the second week and my life was turning to the shits! I couldn't stand being around school 'cuz it just reminded me about Duo… and well… I didn't want to be reminded about that %&^$&*@$#.

Youji was still being amazingly attentive and patient with me. He had phoned me after school to ask me how I was feeling, I smiled (even though he couldn't see it) saying that I was fine and he shouldn't worry so much.

But my locker was right by the Drama room… and every time I walked by it, I saw Duo in there, and most of the time with Hilde (Heero visited him often too, but he wasn't the current offender!!!)…

But anyway, I finally found myself in English where on the black board it said, 'I am absent today and a supply teacher will be filling in for me.'

A supply teacher, finally we'd be able to talk. Maybe something interesting would actually happen in English, one could only hope…

It was then when Ravi came up to the four of us for the firsts time (and unfortunately not the last time) and started asking us very stupid questions like "what kind of tea do you drink with meat?" or "when is tea time?" and "is it OK to dip your chocolate into your tea?" I guess he just didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Quatre… I still didn't get why he liked that guy so much…

After about fifteen minutes the supply teacher waltzed in, late of course, because it was none other than Duo Maxwell.

"Hello class! I'll be taking over for Trowa today," he said all happily.

BANG!

(^That would be my head hitting the desk)

Youji started to glare at Duo and got his string ready in case he started to talk about Hilde again. The funny thing is that he didn't, no, instead Hilde had to come by a see how he was holding up Trowa's class. I wanted a shotgun, or a handgun, or any sort of weapon. Weather it was to kill Duo, Hilde, both, or in fact me.

"Ok, now our first assignment will be to write an essay on a chapter from Hamlet, I'm sure you all have your books," Duo said and everyone took out his English text book. "Didn't Trowa give out the Shakespeare books?"

The class looked at him and gave no reply.

"Does Trowa even assign you stuff?"

More silent replies were given.

"Ok… now you're starting to act like him… stop it… STOP IT!" Duo then cowered behind the desk and Hilde went to comfort him.

"Ok Duo, you had one to many espressos this morning," she said cheerfully pulling him back to his feet.

"Fifteen espressos aren't that much… are they?"

"Yes, yes they are," Hilde replied and sat the twitching Duo down at the desk. "Well class, I guess I'll be taking over now, so would anyone like to go and get the Shakespeare books from the English office?"

Nobody said a word.

"Wow… that is kinda freaky…" Hilde said and then started to look around for a familiar face, and then she looked at me. "Elise right? Yeah, met you Wednesday, um, could you go and get the Shakespeare books?"

I said nothing but got up and left to go get them. Youji stood up to go with me, but Hilde wouldn't let him. So he reluctantly sat back down and continued to glare at the twitching Duo while playing with his string.

At least I was out of that class. I got to the office and found Trowa Barton's desk. It had a picture of him and Catherine on it and a pile of books and that was it. There wasn't even anything in the drawers (I checked). Trowa was a pretty freaky dude…

So I picked a bunch up and turned to leave when I saw Duo's desk. It took me a while to realise that Duo had a desk in the English office, but then I figured that the school was just too fucking cheep to make Drama their own office (especially when they had to rebuild the school so often after fights).

And then I saw on his desk a picture of him and Hilde hugging each other and smiling. How long had they been going out? Even when I had dated him? Would he do that to her… or to me?

"Bastard!" I took one of the books and threw it at the picture smashing it. That made me happier.

I got back to the room and we read about Hamlet for the rest of the period, Duo just sat in the chair twitching most of the time and Hilde didn't talk to me anymore, so I was pretty much ok.

Gym was ok too, we had moved on to Basketball and my head wasn't getting bruised by the minute anymore, which was a good thing. Finally my week was getting a bit better.

At lunch we did the same routine (only now we were also hiding from Goku so we could eat our lunch today) and the announcement came on.

"Would Trunks Briefs, Elise Haskell, Youji Koudo and Carrie Rose please report to the office… again."

"What did we do this time?" Trunks asked, knowing that he was innocent this time.

"I guess when one of us in trouble they figure they should just call down the whole group," Carrie answered getting up.

On the way there we saw Relena wandering around the school looking more lost than Ryouga.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerooooooooooooooo! Come and kill me! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerooooooooooooooo!"

We all looked at her with sweat drops. "What… a… freak…" We all said in unison.

Finally we were at the office and there was Akane smiling at us, and I don't recall her ever smiling at us as we got in. The first thing that came to my mind was "someone got some last night."

"Well! It looks like the four of you are all in trouble… again… and all for different reasons. Isn't that funny?" She said.

"Um… no, not really," Trunks said annoyed. "Why am I here?"

"You beat up a student on Tuesday," she answered and Shampoo conveniently came in at that point.

"It took her three days to report this?" Trunks asked.

"Hey, she was attacking me first," Elise said in his defence.

"You Miss Haskell are here for destruction of property."

I suddenly remembered smashing the picture.

"Shit…"

"What about us?" Youji asked.

She pointed to Youji. "Death threats," then she pointed to Carrie. "… Actually… I'm not too sure why you're here."

Carrie put on the innocent smile. "Neither do I miss Tendo."

Principal Peacecraft came out of his office with Chichiri on his heels and frowned at us all.

"I'm very disappointed in all of you," he said.

"And why am I here again?" Carrie asked, but that didn't stop Milliardo. He was on a roll.

"You four students are the main cause of all the trouble."

"What? C'mon, Two of your VP's do more damage than us," I said.

"Not to mention most of your faculty," Carrie added.

"And the odd other student," Trunks said finishing it.

"Ok… you four kids are a cause of a lot of problems though, and because of this I've decided you all need counselling, that, and you no longer have any classes together.

SHATTER.

(^That is my brain at the moment)

"You can't eat lunch together either."

"That's unfair!" I protested but he was already gone back into his office. Only Chichiri was standing there.

"I am sorry, but you should have listened to the rules, no da." Then he disappeared into his hat.

Akane looked at us with compassion and then started to type something up.

"Um… right, guys, go to student service and get your new schedules," she instructed.

"Can he do that?" Youji asked.

Akane looked at him. "He can be an ass, I think he's a schizo… but what can I say… he is the Principal."

I was pissed off, and in complete distress, but the four of us silently went to get our new schedules. We walked into student services and saw Omi put down a phone. He looked at us sadly.

"Just got the news," he said. "He shouldn't be able to keep friends apart like that…"

"Just give us our schedules," I said coldly.

Omi reluctantly went to his computer and typed in some stuff and gave us our new schedules. I had the same thing, only in complete reverse. I'm not too sure what Trunks or Youji had, they left as soon as they go theirs. So it was off to Science for me and Carrie went to History.

Because of the Science wing still being burnt down and Dilandau going missing, I found myself all alone in a charred hallway doing nothing. Then by chance Ranma came walking by. I hid in the ruins as he walked by and took my aim like a sniper would. Then I pulled the trigger and boom, he was Miss Saotome now.

"Elise!!! Where are you hiding!?!" Ranma then went on an unsuccessful rampage to find and kill me. Loser.

I went to Math and found myself the only person there … again…with Vegeta sitting at the front all-majestic like.

"Um… Veggie-Chan?" I asked. "Where is everyone?"

"Insolent human, why are you here today?" He asked in a snarling way.

"My schedule got changed… but where is everyone?"

"I was in a bad mood…"

Then as I looked closer I could see several charred bodies.

"Um… I'm going home now."

I had had enough of this school for a lifetime.

I finally got home and light up a joint. Then something came to me, something that normally wouldn't if I wasn't under the influence. I had an epiphany. There was a way that I could get everything back to normal. Either suck up to Principal Milliardo so he let's us hang out again, or make him go crazy so we get a new Principal who would let us hang out. I liked the later.

So then I phoned everyone up to come to my house and a plan was spawned.
