Chapter One

Back to School

Her alarm clock went off at its usual time, and she turned it off and went back to sleep. Fifteen minutes later her mother banged on the door and told her to get up. She took her time to wake up and than got up and got ready for school.

After getting her things ready, she got in the car and drove to school. She arrived a few minutes before class started.

She walked through the halls and reached her first period class, English. She walked to the back of the room and sat in the last desk, not paying attention to anyone around her. She liked her teacher, who let them eat and drink in class, who was taking her time to start class, as usual. But she didn't mind.

She took out her breakfast and ate while class started.

Wufei walked to his first period class, at his new school, and arrived late. He gave the teacher a pass, who introduced him to the class, and told him to sit at the back of the classroom. He did so, while mumbling under his breath about how he didn't want to be there.

He was assigned at the school to follow someone around and get close to them. He felt like a stalker every time he thought about it. But what made it even worse, was that it was some girl.

He had been with the preventers for only a few months now, and was the only one young enough for this type of assignment, since the other former Gundam pilots were away on another assignment. He was sixteen now, so he knew it made perfect sense, even though he still didn't want to be there.

He pulled out a folder from his book bag, and looked at the girl's information and picture again. He scanned the room, noting that she wasn't in there. He looked back down and reread the information sheet again.

Name: Victoria Martin

Age: 16

Height: 5'2

Abilities: Stealth operations. Trained in sabotage and demolition. Mainly works alone. Others abilities unknown.

Special notes: Has anger and trust issues. May lose control when scared or angered.

'Great, Wufei thought, and I'm supposed to get close to her? How in the hell am I going to do that? Why do they even want her as a preventer? She's obviously unstable.'

He put the folder up and tried to pay attention to the teacher, which was hard with all the giggling girls around him.

'Gods, what is up with these girls? Please let this day come to an end.'

The bell rang and he went to his next class.

After his fifth period class, and still no sign of the girl he was investigating, he went to his last block class, science.

When he got there, the teacher told him to sit in front of the very girl he was looking for. He went to the very back of the room and sat in front of her, taking note how she didn't even look up at who sat in front of her.

'This should be fun', he thought to himself as the teacher started class.

He decided to ask her what the teacher was talking about, even though he understood perfectly well what was going on. He turned around to see her reading a book of poetry.

'At least she has good taste in books', he mused to himself.

"Excuse me. But do you know what he's talking about?"

She looked up from her book, and stared at him, like the answer to that was obvious.

He looked at her eyes. They were almost as cold as Heero's, but an icier blue.

"You should ask Eron or John. There the smart ones in class, not me", she stated a little coldly.

She looked back down at her book, and he turned around.

'Like I even know who they are. Oh well, it's not like I actually need help.'

"Hey Tori", came an annoying voice beside Wufei.

"Tori, umm... what's it like when a girl has an orgasm? I want to know cause I saw this..."

"Eron", the girl from behind Wufei snapped.

"Yeah."

"Shut up."

"OK!"

She didn't say anything for the rest of the class, even though the kid named Eron kept on bothering her. She stayed quiet, but Wufei knew that she must have given him a frightening look whenever he said something by the way the kid yelped and turned around.

The class finally ended, and they made their way out of the building, and went home.

'Finally. Gods, I don't think I can take much more of this. I hate school, and the people there are so annoying. And how in the hell am I supposed to get close to this girl when she doesn't even talk to anyone?'

He sighed as he made his way to his car, that the preventers had arranged for him. He drove to headquarters to report what he could, which wasn't much, and then made his way to a small apartment, conveniently close to the school.

The next day was the same, and he didn't say anything to her. Even though he was about to beat the shit out of Eron, who was starting to bug him now. But thankfully, she had silenced him with a nice punch in the stomach, after he asked her about her sex life.

The day after that, he was still trying to come up with a plan on how to get close to her. But, when she came into the room, he noticed what she was wearing. A blue, Air Force JROTC uniform. She looked pretty good in it too.

'No! Don't think like that. That's disgusting. She' s freaking crazy. You do not, I repeat, do not need to think of her in-'

"Victoria? Could you please tell Wufei what we've been doing for these last few weeks? Here are some work sheets, and a list of assignments from last week that he will need to do before the test."

Dr. Benson handed Wufei a packet of work and told them to go out in the hallway with two desks. They did so, after many sighs and stares from the entire class.

'Lucky bastards', the class thought.

They sat down in the desks in the hallway and stayed silent for a few minutes before she spoke.

"You know what we're doing, don't you?"

"Not really."

She sighed and looked at his packet, and tried to explain to him what they were doing.

"I don't really like science, and I'm not very good at it either. So, I don't know why he asked me to do this", she said as she stretched.

'She really does look good in blue. It really brings out her eyes. No! STOP thinking like that.'

"Wufei?"

"Huh?"

She was looking at him kinda weird, and he realized that he had been staring at her.

'Great, now she's going to think I'm a perv.'

'Eww, he was looking at my boobs. Why are all guys like that?'

"So, do you get anything?

"Yeah. Thanks."

"Good."

He made to get up, but she just sat there, looking outside.

"Aren't we supposed to go back in now", he asked a little confused.

"Yeah. But, I'd rather go outside."

He looked at her as she stood up and went to the glass doors, hands on the handle, and turned around.

"You coming?"

He looked at her for a minute, and than smirked.

"Sure."

She walked out the door, and he followed her.

'Hmm, maybe I can get to know her better. But, why did she even ask me to come out here? I thought she liked to keep to herself.'

Suddenly, her foot came out of no where towards his face. He blocked it, and then blocked a punch that was aimed at his stomach.

He kept on blocking her attacks until she tried to kick him below the waist. He tackled her to the ground, and pinned her wrists down.

"What was that for", he asked angrily.

She started to laugh, before she answered him.

"I had to see what you were capable of."

"Gods, you're crazy."

"I know. But, I don't just let anyone hang out with me."

He snorted, and then realized that he was still on top of her.

"You know, she said, this really doesn't look right. If someone came out here and saw this, they might think you're trying to rape me, or that we're doing something."

He got off of her, and she stood up and brushed off her uniform.

"God, I hate this thing. It's so uncomfortable, and damn hard to move around in."

"I still beat you", Wufei said with a smirk.

"Hmm, just wait until I get out of this damn thing. Than I'll kick your ass."

"I'd like to see you try."

She smiled at him and than opened the door and walked inside, Wufei following her.

They sat back down at the desks and Dr. Benson came out in the hallway.

"Are you finished", he asked.

"Yeah", she answered.

They got up and dragged the desks back into the classroom, and went to their regular seats. It was almost time to go by the time they got back in there.

"Hey, Tori. Do you have any Ruroni Kenshin manga with ya?"

"Not for you", she stated while pulling one out and reading it.

"Awe, come on. Let me see, please?"

"No", she said in an annoyed tone.

Eron kept on talking, and was starting to annoy her. Wufei looked back at her. She looked like she was about to snap.

Wufei grabbed the boy by the collar and told him to shut up. He squealed, and turned back around in his desk. He remained quiet for the rest of class.

"Hey, Wufei", Tori called from behind him as they walked down the hallway.

He turned around and waited for her to catch up.

"Thanks."

"Your welcome."

"Oh yeah, you can call me Tori. Very few people can call me that. So you should feel special."

"Thanks, I do."

She studied his face.

'He really doesn't betray his feelings there, maybe in his hands or something.'

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing", she said quickly.

"Bye", she said, as she hurried down the hall.

'That girl is weird.'
