Chapter Two

Sleep Over

The next day, she wasn't at school, nor the next. The weekend came up, and he went to work at the preventers headquarters. He searched for some more detailed files on her, but found nothing of use to him. So he waited it out, until Monday came around.

When he got to the class that they shared, he looked around the room to see her seat empty. He took his seat in front of the empty desk, and pulled out his materials. The class started.

About twenty minutes into class, the door opened, and in she walked, and gave the teacher a pass. She sat down behind Wufei and closed her eyes.

She looked tired, and was extremely pale.

Wufei turned around in his seat to ask her something.

"Tori? Are you all right?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just tired, that's all", she said with a smile as she sat up and rubbed the back of her neck, and stretched.

"Where were you last week?"

"Oh, I was sick. I always get sick around spring."

"Really", he asked disbelievingly.

"Yes", she said, a little annoyed now.

"Miss Martin and Mr. Chang, could you please stop disrupting my class."

Wufei turned around in his seat, and she laid her head back down on the desk, and fell asleep shortly after.

The bell rung, and Tori placed her bag on her shoulder, and walked out of the room, with Wufei behind her.

"Tori", he called out behind her.

She stopped and waited for him.

"What", she asked.

"I was wondering... who is your English teacher?"

"Mrs. Webb. Why?"

"Well, I kind of need help in English, and we both have the same teacher, so I thought you could help me."

She looked at him tiredly and then said, "Sure. When?"

"Umm, tomorrow night", he answered.

"OK, just remind me tomorrow and I can come over to your place."

"All right, thanks", he said as she walked away.

'Wait, she can't come over to my place. She would think something is up, cause I don't live with my parents! Shit!'

Wufei trudged off towards his car, trying to make up a good reason as to why he didn't live with his parents.

'Come on Wufei, think. Think dammit!'

He had to stop thinking so hard after he almost ran into a parked car.

The next day he decided to venture out of the cafeteria for lunch, and go outside. A lot of kids ate outside, and a good bit in the gym as well.

He started walking towards one of the stands with food when he spotted Tori and some other girl he didn't know.

When he got closer, he noticed that they were arguing.

"You stupid gothic bitch", the other girl yelled at her.

She was apparently a prep.( don't got a problem with anyone who is, unless they act all stupid and bitchy towards everyone for no reason.)

Tori smiled suddenly as she looked up at the other girl.

"Is that all you can think of calling me? Being called a Goth isn't offensive to me, even though I'm not even gothic", she said with a cool calm.

"Whatever, you're still a whore who dresses in black all the time."

"Hey, at least I don't have to fuck my Dad for him to buy me clothes."

The girl and her friends gasped, and she moved forward and slapped her across the face.

Tori slowly turned her head from the side, and looked up at her with a twisted grin on her face.

"You all saw her assault me first, I'm just protecting myself", she said before she grabbed the girl's hand and squeezed it hard, and than twisted it to the right and than the left.

The girl screamed, along with the sound of her fingers breaking. Black tears were streaming down her face.

"Don't mess with me bitch. You wouldn't want me to break your neck, now would you?"

The girl was now crying on the ground, and the officer at the school had come over with a few administrators, and was currently putting handcuffs on Tori. The other girl was also taken inside, but was not released until she also received her punishment.

They were suspended for two days.

After school that day, Wufei met Tori out by his car, and he drove her to his apartment nearby.

"Nice place you've got here", she said as she threw her book bag down on the floor by the door.

"Uh, thanks. You want anything to drink", he asked.

"Sure. You got any tea?"

He looked at her for a minute before asking her what kind.

"Any kind. Herbal would be nice, though", she said with a grin.

"OK."

He started to make some green tea when she asked him a certain question he was dreading.

"So, where are your parents?"

He cringed slightly, before he answered her. He had it all planned out, for now at least.

"They're out on vacation."

"Without you", she asked idly as she picked through his movie collection.

'Woo, good selection of movies. We'll have to watch one of these tonight.'

"Uh... it was for business."

She didn't say anything or ask anything else for awhile, as she started looking through his CD's.

"Tea's done", he exclaimed as he poured some into a mug and placed it on the table.

"Thanks", she said as she sat down.

"Hmm, good. So, what do you need help with in English?"

"Uh, the new project that's coming up. My partners for it are well... slackers, so I'm pretty much doing it all by myself. So, could you help?"

"Sure."

After about an hour and a half, they were done, and she asked him to make popcorn for the movie.

He didn't really like the idea of her staying any longer, in case she might see something out of place, like their was no bed or anything in his parents room. That's where he kept his gym. And he just recently made the apartment cozy by moving his belongings in. So, she was definitely not going into his room because of...

"You wanna watch Blade Trinity, or Gladiator?"

"Blade."

'It's shorter.'

"OK, Gladiator it is", she said playfully.

"Oh gods, it's gonna be a long night", he mumbled to himself as he sat down next to her on the couch.

"What'cha say?"

"Nothing."

XXXXX

By the end of the movie, she had fallen asleep on his shoulder, and he had on top of her head.

Around two in the morning, Wufei woke up and looked at the fuzzy T.V. He didn't think much of it and went back to sleep.

His eyes shot open as he saw where he was, and who he was with!

He was laying on Tori's stomach, and she had placed her hand on his back.

He struggled out of her grasp and fell off the couch in the process, waking her.

"Hmm, what time is it", she asked groggily.

Wufei looked at the digital clock that read 2:04.

"Shit, it's already two."

"Really?"

"Won't your parents be worried", he asked.

"Naw, my mom probably isn't back from her party yet. I'll just call her and leave her a message. Can I just stay? I'm too tired to walk to school and pick up my car, and than drive back home."

"Uh..."

'Stay! She can't stay!'

"Thanks", she said as she laid back down on the couch and curled up, falling asleep almost instantly.

"Dammit", he cursed under his breath as he moved towards his room.

XXXXXX

He couldn't sleep well that night.

'I wonder if she's cold?'

He'd been having that same thought for the last hour now.

He scrambled out of bed and grabbed the extra blanket on the end of his bed, and went to the living room.

He threw the blanket over her and whispered, "Damn woman. Freezing your ass out here, and not even complaining about it."

After he left, she smiled slightly as she snuggled underneath the blanket some more.

XXXXX

Wufei hadn't gotten much sleep that night, and was surprised when he woke up to the smell of food.

He got out of bed and got dressed, and then went to the kitchen, where Tori was making breakfast.

"Hope you like your eggs scrambled."

Wufei sat down at the table and was handed a plate full of eggs and some toast.

"Thanks", she said.

"Huh?" He hadn't quite woken up yet.

"For the blanket."

He began to poke at his food, seeing if it was edible.

"I don't know what you're talking about woman."

He took a bite of the eggs and hesitantly chewed.

'Hey, they're actually good.'

"Sure", she drawled out.

"When are you leaving?"

"Ready to get rid of me so soon", she asked, pretending to be hurt.

Wufei fell for it.

"NO, it's not that... it's just that...", he was at a lose for words. He didn't know what to do with women when they were upset. It was just too scary to think about.

"Ha, calm down, Wuffie. I was just kidding."

"What did you just call me?"

"Nothing, now hurry up and eat. We have to get over to the school early if you don't want me to stay here all day."

He gulped down the last bit of his juice and shoved his mouth full of food and then rushed to put his shoes on.

"My my, aren't we in a hurry", she teased.

They left shortly after and he drove her to the school so she could get her car and then go home.

"I'm so glad I don't have school for the next two days. Even though I've still got work to do for Simon. He's so uptight sometimes-", she stopped, suddenly realizing what she just said to him.

"Who's Simon?"

"Uh... he's just a friend."

'Uh huh, really?'

"Thanks for everything", she said hurriedly as she jumped out of his car and went to her own.

"See you in a couple of days", she yelled at him.

He waved at her as she pulled out of her parking spot and left school.

'Crazy woman.'

He didn't notice that he was smiling, until he walked into school, where it dropped.
