"Class we have a new student today." Said the teacher. The whole room hushed. Serena walked into the room and glared. The G-boys weren't paying any attention to the person in the front of the room. "Her name is Serena Tsukino. She moved here a little while ago. Miss Tsukino would you please tell the class what you like to do."
"I like to train. I will be the best martial artist ever! And whoever gets in my way is going to get more than a BLACK EYE!" she said looking straight at Wufei. The boys' heads turned at that. They just stared at her.
"Yo Wu-man it's that chick who gave you that black eye." Said Duo. "That's .. very nice Miss Tsukino. Please go sit next to.. Heero Yuy." Said the teacher. Serena's head shot up. Who had the gall to have her hero's name, she thought. "Heero hold up your hand."
Heero refused to sit next to that girl. Duo saw that Heero was not going to hold up his hand so he did it for him. Heero glared at Duo and snatched his hand away and held it up himself.
So it's on of them? He doesn't look as weak as the rest. He's ok, for a boy, thought Serena. She walked up to the seat next to Heero and sat down. She pulled out her sketchbook and looked out the corner of her eye towards Heero. He had a good profile. She unconsciously started to sketch him.
"Miss Tsukino can you answer the question?" asked the teacher. She caught her not paying attention. "What?" Serena looked up. The teacher smirked. She had her. The whole class turned to Serena.
"Answer the question." Question? I recall her saying something about the city of some state. Hmmmmm.. Serena concentrated and the word Boston popped into her head. Boston? Where did that come from? "Boston." Said Serena with confidence. The teacher's smirk dropped. How did she know that? I was sure she wasn't paying attention. "Right, but no drawing in class so now you have detention to help you remember." Now the teacher's smirk returned.
Serena scowled and put away her sketchbook. Old battle-ax.
"Man the teach is as bad as you, Heero." Said Duo.
Heero had enough of Duo. He stood up and pulled out his gun. "I'm going to kill you." he said to Duo while aiming his gun at him. Duo squealed and ducked. "Heero Yuy! That's it. Detention!"
Heero shrugged and sat down. The rest of the class went by without fault.
Serena walked out of the class and looked at her schedule. A class discussion on war with the school founder, Relena Peacecraft. This should be interesting. She headed off to the lecture hall.
Serena was in a seat sketching when she saw some of the boys from before. It was Heero Yuy, that weakling with the tight ponytail, and the blond. At least the loud one wasn't there. They sat in front and to the right of her.
Relena sauntered into the room and let her gaze wander around. She smiled when she saw Heero. She sat in the front of the room and started her lecture on pacifism being better than war.
Serena was already bored and annoyed with this girl. After Relena had said that pacifism is the best way to stop a war, Serena let out a snort. Everybody turned to her. Serena's eyes widened. She didn't think she was that loud. She shrugged it off.
The boys looked at Serena questioningly. Relena narrowed her eyes. "Do you have different views on war Miss?" she asked.
"Yeah, I do. Pacifism is the cowardly way to get out of a war. It's like giving up. I rather fight and lose than choose pacifism to get rid of a war. You have to defend your country. And if a fights what it costs then I would go to war willingly rather than sit on my ass and think peaceful thoughts and hope that the people will stop fighting. That's just stupid." By this time Serena was standing up.
Quatre admired the girl's courage. She was talking so passionately about her views on war. Quatre smiled and nodded. He liked her.
"If you just sat there. The enemy will take advantage of you and attack without mercy. I don't have anything against pacifism but I think it's pretty much useless unless both parties are willing to stop the fighting than I say go for it. But other than that, fighting is the only way. I mean you can't stop war by taking the mobile suits away from everybody. Someone out there will just make more. You have to change the people's hearts and that's harder than it looks. I mean look at me, do you think you should actually change my mind on war so easily and I'm just a student. Think about all those other adults out there. I use to think what peace was. Was it a true time of peace? Or was it just empty space while people planned for something more to fight about. Some people go looking for wars. It's bound to happen again. I have a feeling this peaceful time is almost up. You people better prepare yourself. This is going to be a huge war."
Serena stopped and looked around the room. People were staring at her. "Excuse me. I have to go." And she left the room quickly.
Heero narrowed his eyes at the girl. There was something about her. He stood up and left to go find her. Wufei and Quatre looked after him and shrugged.
Heero found Serena at a table outside, sketching in her book.
She felt someone watching her. She got into a fighting stance and prepared to fight. Heero walked out from behind the tree he was behind and stood in front of her. Serena relaxed and sat down. "It's only you, Heero Yuy." She said in a monotone voice not unlike his own.
"Who are you?" he asked. She looked up at him and sapphire blue met prussian blue. Serena blinked. "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm Serena Tsukino. Fifteen years old and got kicked out of her old school for fighting and cursing out a teacher. Serena, who has no friends and doesn't want any. Serena, whose dad left when she was ten and Serena, who is spilling her guts out to a boy she doesn't even know. But I guess it's because I think you're ok and you have my hero's name. Heero Yuy. Serena turned and put her head in her hands. "I'm being weak. I'm not weak. I'm not." And she started to cry.
Heero didn't know what to make of this girl. One minute she was in control and the next she's crying. He sat down and patted her back. He didn't know what to do. Serena turned, hugged him and put her head on his chest.
That's the scene that Wufei and Quatre walked in on. "Weak woman." Wufei said. Serena's head shot up. She abruptly stood and stalked up to Wufei and glared at him. "I can deal with you later.. Wu-man." She smirked when she saw his face. "Oh. I'm sorry. Did I get your name wrong? My bad. I'll get it right sometime. I mean, I'm just a weak woman right? Later Wu-man. And thanks Heero Yuy." And Serena was gone.
They all looked after her. Heero shook his head. He'll never understand her.
