The next day Relena felt a little more confident at school, she knew where her classes where, kinda. And which classes not to fall asleep in! As she walked down the corridor trying to look confident of the location of her locker she noticed someone joining her, as she looked to see who it was she was greeted with a smiled friendly.

"Good Morning again!" It was the one with the long hair across his face.

"Oh hello, urm..Good Morning. Thank you for yesterday! I mean helping me find my math class." The guy just smiled at her and waved it off.

"Don't worry about it, so your new here? What's your name?" Relena smiled at him warmly.

"My name is Relena. Relena Peacecraft." The guy smiled back and replied,

"My name is Trowa Barton, it's a pleasure." Relena blushed. He was so well spoken and polite. Is he real? In those few minutes she had arrived at her math class, as she turned to say goodbye to Trowa he said,

"Enjoy math!" before he walked off in a different direction. Did he just walk me to class? She asked herself.

After math she realised that she didn't learn a single thing in that lesson. I should really try harder,she thought. After today she got to pick her own classes so nothing will be as tedious. Relena noticed a ball roll towards her feet, she picked it up and looked at it confused.

"Yo!" Relena looked up and saw a young boy running towards her, he had his long braid in tow and was smiling at her. Relena smiled back and handed him the ball when he got to her.

"Hey thanks! You play any basketball?" Relena shook her head and watched as he played with the ball.

"No, I suck at it, big time!" She giggled to herself.

"I bet I could teach ya something." He winked at her and watched as she squirmed under his gaze.

"Listen, what's ya name? I'm Duo. Duo Maxwell! You won't find another one like me!" he exclaimed holding his head up high. Relena smiled and said,

"I'm Relena Peacecraft." Duo smiled and just simply said.

"Well alrighty then." He waved at her and said bye. She just stood and waved goodbye mindlessly until she realised she was late for English.

Relena dashed into the room and everyone else was seated. Shit. She felt very embarrassed as everyone looked at her.

"Ah Miss Relena, this is English and it starts at 10:30, not 10:40. Please take a seat." She looked around and found only one spare seat, as she swiftly walked towards it she realised that she noticed a familiar pair of perssian blue eyes looking at her, she swallowed nervously and took her seat next to him. Relena fiddled with her papers for a bit while the teacher chatted on. She finally relaxed herself and began to pay attention. She liked English, because she liked reading but the problem with Relena wasn't that she was a bad student it was just she didn't pay attention at the correct times. She dared a quick glance at the boy sitting to her right, he was looking at her from the corner of his eye. Watching her as though he expected she would start to sing and dance any moment. Relena simply smiled. He didn't respond or speak, he simply focused his attention on the teacher. When the bell rang Relena gathered up her sheets and books, she was last out again. When she had collected herself she stood to find the young man waiting for her at the door, she walked to him and stopped just infront of him.

"I'll walk you to your next class." She said.

"Thank you" she said just above a whisper.

She followed him all the way to the art rooms on the other side of the building; she wondered would he be in this class? He didn't look the arty time, she would know because it was her speciality. He stopped just outside the art room door to look at her, his gaze taking her in slowly. She simply fiddled with her hair and blushed slightly.

"My name is Heero Yuy. Your Relena Peacecraft." It wasn't a question it was a statement. Relena nodded and looked up into his eyes.

"It's nice to meet you Heero." He simply nodded and left her to her lesson.

Art was great, it was always great. The teacher loved her, she loved the subject it was all good. She found herself thinking that this would be her hide away for the year. She was surprised to see the blonde hair boy in her class from religion yesterday.

"Hey there! Can I sit with you?" Relena looked up from her drawing and smiled.

"Of course." She replied politely.

"I'm Quatre Rebabba Winner. What's your name?"

"I'm Relena Peacecraft." She felt like she'd said her name a lot today. Quatre smiled at her,

"How do you know Heero Yuy?" The question took her by shock, Relena blushed slightly as she thought about the handsom boy who walked her to art.

"Oh… I… I don't," she stuttered."I only met him yesterday. And spoke to him today." Quatre looked confused. He paused and then arched both his eyebrows upwards,

"But he… saved you from that bus. And he walked you here. Didn't he?" Relena nodded in agreement, why should all of this matter?

"Sorry," Quatre giggled to himself, "Heero is just very…. To himself. It's taken me ten years to find out basic things, like his favourite colour!" Relena giggled."But I thought you knew him with the attention you've been getting." Quatre grinned to himself. Relena could not understand why she had been singled out by Heero. She didn't consider herself beautiful or intelligent, artistic yes… but not very impressive. She just shrugged and disregarded the thought. Relena talked to Quatre all the lesson, and found she liked the boy. He was again very polite and friendly towards her and she enjoyed his conversation. The bell rang for lunch and Relena began to pack away her belongings.

"Would you like to come for dinner Miss Relena?" Relena turned to Quatre and hesitated to answer the question.

"Erm, yes. Thank you! I don't know many people, so that would be very nice of you." Relena smiled and followed Quatre out the art rooms. As she walked out she noticed Trowa leaning against a wall.

"I see you've made a friend." The notion, she thought, was for Quatre referring to her, but when he looked directly at her and grinned she realized it was for her.

"Yes, he's very nice." Quatre blushed a little and smiled at Relena.

"Quatre you dog! Making friends so quickly." Trowa smiled at Quatre who seemed a little embarrassed. The three of them walked towards to gardens at the front of the school. Relena talked to Trowa mostly on the way there, they talked about her day and her lessons, it was only small talk but still nice to be able to have a conversation with someone. Quatre seem to involve himself once he got over his intial embarrassment.

"Check you guys out!" Relena looked up to find Duo running towards them.

"Picked up a good one didn't ya's?" He winked at Relena and linked her arm and took her away.

"Ya gotta watch these two Relena, they're right weirdo's!" Duo laughed and walked Relena to the tree where everyone was sitting.

"We are not Duo! I hope she won't believe you!" Quatre yelled after him.

"I won't. I'll decide for myself." Relena replied smiling back to him. She couldn't escape Duo's linking, but she didn't really want to. He sat her down and sat opposite her with his legs crossed.

"So how's your day been Babe? I've had math, it's boring as hell! And what's with putting letters in it man! Just confuses things." Relena began to laugh.

"I completely agree! Letters are for English, not math." Duo nodded in agreement as though he'd just discovered the idea himself. Relena chatted away to Duo, he asked her about where she came from and how she was finding the school, about her day, about how it was going okay and that she really enjoyed her art lesson.

"I can't paint, or draw for shit! Stick men is about as good as it gets." He winked and grinned at Relena, she noticed his grin was a naughty one. She simply smiled at him. Relena didn't realize that Heero was watching her since she arrived with Trowa and Quatre. Trowa threw a ball into Duo's hands and he shot up immediately and accepted the challenge to a basketball game. She watched as Duo and Trowa fought it out on the grass, Duo was winning but not by much. She looked to her right and noticed Heero moving closer to her. She blushed when she remembered her previous conversation with Quatre about Heero. He sat silently next to her for a few minutes watching the match between Duo and Trowa. He turned to her, and she to him.

"So… you like art?" Relena nodded and smiled to herself.

"I do. It's my favourite subject."

"Why?" Heero asked abruptly she didn't quiet know how to answer.

"Urm… well… because…." She paused and thought to herself.

"Because I do." Heero blinked.

"Not going to tell me why?" He arched one questioning eye brow.

"No." She smiled sweetly at him.

"Hn." Was all he replied with. There was 5 minute silence.

"You get to pick your classes tomorrow, what are you picking?" Relena thought about it.

"Apart from art." He stated. Relena giggled.

"Well… I want to continue with Graphic Design, philosophy, music and… English." Relena blushed when she realized that she would spend the rest of the year sitting next to Heero in english. She liked the idea and enjoyed his company, even though he didn't say much.

"I'm in English." He said interrupting her thoughts, "Trowa will be in your music class, and Bakka will be in Design." Relena looked confused for a moment.

"Who.. is Bakka?" she asked innocently. Heero grinned.

"Duo is. He's an idiot, but my best friend." Relena nodded.

"Are you all best friends?"

"Yes, in a way. I can relay on trowa and Bakka the most. But we're all best friends. In some way or form." Relena nodded and thought about how they where all friends, it would be nice to have so many friends to trust and rely on.

"And you?" Relena looked away for a moment.

"I don't really have any friends like that." She looked a little sad but forced a smile on her face.

"Now you do." Relena looked Heero right in the eye with shock. She knew he meant every word of it, but felt it was all so sudden. She felt so welcomed by everyone it was loverly, she smiled at him.

"I'll walk you to your next lesson." Relena realized again that this was a statement, not a question.
