My Twilight Serenade


Chapter 3: Gravitation


"HAO?!?!?!?!" Jeanne screamed, jumping out of her seat slamming her left hand on the desk and pointing at Hao with the other. Her eye twitching at a fierce pace. Hao continued sliming at her, not even caring that the entire class of 250 people was staring right at her.

Jeanne sunk into her desk, in a bewildered state. She buried her face into her hands. "H-How can this be....? I left America, without leaving a trace of my path behind!" Jeanne sat still for a moment, trying to figure where she went wrong. She tilted her head back, resting her neck on the top on the backrest and sighed.

Hao leaned over so their eyes met. "Mind if I sit next to you?" Jeanne sat back up and jumped out of her seat, grabbing Hao's wrist, avoiding eye contact and pulled Hao down the stairway of desks and dragged him out of the classroom. As the door closes, the girls of the 250 people started chatting about the Greek god who graced them with his presence.

Jeanne dragged him into the hall. Yanking her arm away she tossed herself the other way to face him, her expression......very angry.

"What are you doing here?!" She whispered loudly, since the school bell already rang and class already started. If anyone found them in the halls during class, it was all over.

"Well," Hao began, resting his arms around his head. "I got worried when you just up and left America....so I went looking for you!"

Jeanne smacked her forehead with her palm. "Do....you even know WHERE YOU ARE?"

"At school..."

"Not just any school! The one of the most prestigious catholic schools in the world! You know that half of the time we're going to be studying and worshiping the Lord..."

Hao cocked an eyebrow. "Is that so?" Jeanne practically dropped to the ground when she heard that. "You're so....reckless! Do you even think before you act?!" Hao, who still maintained his calm look just smiled at Jeanne. "Sometimes..."

Jeanne sighed, completely disgusted in Hao. She dragged herself back into the classroom. This was going to be a LONG and utterly painful day.

There was no way this could get any worse for Jeanne....

Or could it?

After school......

The school bell rang. Finally after 6 classes straight Jeanne can finally relax. Her first plan; sneak into her dorm, for it was the only place where Hao couldn't follow her. It was bad enough that Hao found her in an extremely religious school, but he also enrolled in it too! The main reason Jeanne even left her home in America was because of Hao; the fact that he wouldn't leave her alone. He would always tease her and play tricks on her. Even though most of Hao's pranks went so far as making her cry, it would still make him laugh.

Jeanne made a run for the exit of the school building. She ran through all those narrow hallways, trying to lose Hao. Even though he may not be right behind her, it was very likely that he was spying on her from afar, so it was wise to play it safe. After safely making it out of the school building Jeanne hid behind a tree that was right behind the South Wing.

When she found her special sanctuary, it was a good time for her to catch her breath. She leaned back against the tree. If Jeanne was gonna do this every day, she'll go back home as skinny as a stick when the school year ended.

Back tracking on her day, Jeanne started to feel unsafe now. The second problem added to Jeanne's list of problems was that Hao was in all of her classes. And in all of those classes, Hao didn't take his eyes off Jeanne. Well, except for 5th period in Religion when Hao asked to go to the bathroom and never came back...

It was like he didn't want her to make a run for it as soon as he took his eyes off her, just like when Jeanne left America behind Hao's back. The only question is....why Hao continued to go wherever Jeanne went. Did he want something from her?

"I wonder...." Jeanne said to herself softly.

"Wonder what?" came a cheerful voice from out of nowhere. At first it made her jump for catching her off guard. Tossing her head from side to side, trying to locate the owner of the voice.

"Up here!" said the voice again, this time it was more amused. Jeanne froze, that cocky voice was all too familiar for little Jeanne. Tilting her head up she saw a figure with long brown hair sitting on a tree branch was smiling down at her.

"Ohmigosh!" Jeanne jumped away from the tree, covering her mouth with her hands, but still showing her widened eyes starring at Hao, who jumped down from his tree branch. He glided over to her; Jeanne kept backing away, keeping her distance. "Were you spying on me?!"

"Sort of." Hao shrugged. Sort of?! If Jeanne wasn't a saint, she'd smack him, just like Lady Anna would. Trying to control her temper she stomped off on the sidewalk towards her dorm building. Hao only turned around and followed her.

Jeanne, noticing another pair of footsteps behind her started to quicken her pace. Before long, the footsteps behind her matched the same pace as her. Jeanne started to run, so did Hao. Finally, when Jeanne was getting annoyed (and out of breath) she made a quick halt and spun around to Hao who still had his cocky smirk.

Through her pants she pleaded. "Will you please stop following me?!" Hao maintained his sly expression. "There's no law saying I can't follow you." Jeanne was really getting pissed now. She clenched her fists. As much as she tried to control her anger, words automatically flowed out of her mouth.

"Will you just go back to hell where you belong?!" she shouted, nearly loud enough for the students nearby to hear, though Jeanne didn't care. She was too angry at Hao to worry about students and teachers nearby that heard the word "hell". (Remember, this is a VERY religious school...)

Jeanne growled and spun around, continuing on to her destination. Hao pouted and rested his arms on the back of his head. "You know...that's not something a nun should say, especially in your case. Heh, heh...naughty, naughty!"

The hair on the back of Jeanne's neck rose. Taking a deep breath she slowly turned back towards Hao and walked over to him. "Alright then... Will you just go back to hell where you belong PUH-LEASE?!"

Jeanne's eyes were locked on his, waiting for a reply. Hao smiled....and then laughed. Jeanne seemed bewildered. She had no clue what was funny about that! She was being 110 serious! Hao smiled a "Yoh" smile and patted Jeanne on the headed before walking on, heading towards Jeanne's destination.

Jeanne blinked, realizing where Hao was heading. Spinning around, almost tripping over her own feet she looked even more bewildered. "W-Where are you going?" she asked, extremely nervous. Hao stopped in his tracks and looked over her shoulder, still having his younger twin's smile on his face.

"To my dorm of course!"

"D-Dorm?"

"Yup!"

"B-But...shouldn't you be...?" Jeanne pointed in the distance towards the East Wing.

Hao's grin grew longer. "Didn't I tell you? We're roommates!"

And it was then, Jeanne realized.....this was going to be a loooooonnnngggg year....she was officially in hell....


ChibiLaryla: :D Haha! Personally I wouldn't mind sharing a dorm room with Hao! Lol, and I'm sure most of you feel the same (unless you're a guy...then that's different....) Sorry that it's taking me awhile to do these, but like I said... ;( I blame school (i.e. Geography...) Anyways, I'll update when I can!
