Learning More

The week went by fast. Soon it was Friday. Serena was in home ec. They were making chicken curry. Two of those guys were in there as well, she observed. The braided guy and the quiet one that never said anything.

"Ok you can start your dishes class." Serena didn't have a partner but that was ok. She could make the best chicken curry by herself.

On the other hand Duo and Trowa were doing a very bad job and getting worse. Duo smelled Serena's curry from across the room and walked over. "That smells delicious. I can't cook for crap." "I noticed." She looked over to his face and sighed. She put some of her curry on a plate and handed it to him. Just to get him out of her face. She said to herself but it was mostly a lie. She couldn't resist his cute face. "For me?" he said as she pointed to himself and drooled. He looked down at the plate and smacked his lips. He looked back up at Serena and when she nodded he squealed in delight. "Thanks!" and he started to walk away.

"Hey umm. Duo is it? I could help you." She said. Duo turned. "You would?" and she nodded again. Duo broke into a smile. "Great."

Serena walked over with Duo to where Trowa was making a mess. I'm a clown not a cook, he thought. He looked up and saw Duo coming with a plate of the correct looking way to make curry and that girl in tow.

"Trowa, she's going to help us." He beamed. Trowa raised his brow at Serena and then just shrugged. If she wanted to cook for them then he wasn't going to stop her. He stepped aside.

Serena moved up to the stove and went straight to work. Within twenty minutes they had curry that actually looked edible. Trowa was impressed.

"Hey Serena, how did you learn to cook?" Duo asked. Serena stiffened and Trowa was the only one to notice. "Well when your home alone a lot of the time and you have a little brother to take care of, you learn a few things." She whispered and then became quiet. She put the curry on a plate then walked away.

The bell rang and she packed her stuff and walked out. Trowa watched her all the way to the door where she disappeared.
