Chapter 3
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After class the two friends made their way to their gym class. On the way they stopped by their lockers. Wufei hated gym, he always complained on how undisciplined the class was and that he wouldn't be even be taking it if it weren't for the fact that he needed the credit. Duo on the other hand loved it. And it wasn't for the fact that he was surrounded by a whole bunch of sweaty boys his own age either. Although that was a bonus. It was for the thrill of the competition when they played basketball or floor hockey.
He'd been asked many times to join the swim team by Dermail but swimming just never appealed to him. And he was sure that the fact that he couldn't swim in the first place had a huge impact as well. Unfortunately Dermail wouldn't leave him alone about and it Duo wasn't about to give Zechs and his other friends another reason to laugh at him.
They were playing floor hockey today and Duo was bouncing with restrained energy. Dermail called out the teams and Duo beamed at his teammates, they were all great players. Wufei walked over to him with a frown. Apparently he had a disliking for the sport.
"Hey Duo." Dorothy Catalonia greeted as she picked up a stick. "I heard you had a run in at lunch today." Dorothy was Relena's best friend and she was also on the cheerleading squad. The woman stood proudly, with out a care in the world. Her hair tied up in a high pony tail as per it's usual fashion of being loose. Duo was also positive that Dorothy and Relena had a little more going on then just friendship but he couldn't be sure about it.
"Hey Dorothy, and yes but it's not like I don't get it every day as it is. I swear if Zechs had the time and put the effort into it as well, he'd be on my ass twenty four/seven. I'm kind of glad that he doesn't though, 'cause I don't know about you but I sure as hell don't want him any where near my ass." The boy chuckled as Dorothy nodded in agreement.
"So who's on the opposite team?" Duo asked more to himself then anyone in particular as he changed the topic.
"Heero, Mark, Anna, Klay, Bobby, Steven, Mel, Chantal and Trowa. Hm, we seem to be missing a few people." Dorothy commented as she counted heads mentally.
Duo nodded in confirmation as he gave a once over of who was in the class. Shrugging he brought his attention to his opponent. Ah, one Trowa Barton, the boy with the amazing hair style. Trowa was another member of the swim team; he mostly hung out with Heero and Quatre Raberba Winner.
Trowa was another person that he was sure was more involved with Quatre than just friends. The two just seemed to fit so well together but if Duo's suspicions were correct, the two never showed any signs of being more than very good friends.
Duo's team won the hockey game with ease. As much as Wufei complained about the class, he was a fairly good floor hockey player, and they also had Dorothy who was amazing at the game. After ten minutes of being hassled by Dermail to join the swim team, Duo made his way to his locker to meet up with Hilde.
"Duo what took you so long. We are going to be late?" The girl scolded as she tossed Duo's book bag at him. He could never figure out how she knew which classes he had homework in. It just had to be one of those girl things, Hilde was an enigma at times.
Duo chuckled under his breath at Hilde's anxiousness. She was always worried about being late or getting into trouble. "Hil, relax, it's only drama, besides it's not like it's an actual class or anything. Une is not going to say anything to us. She saw that we were in class and she also knows that we will show up. Then again, me being there might shock the poor woman."
"Oh and why's that?" Hilde questioned as she began to walk down the hall, Duo beside her.
"Because yesterday I told her that I wasn't going to make it," Duo gave Hilde a pointed look that was completely lost on the girl back.
"Well hey, plans change. Besides as I told you, he's not going to mind." Hilde shrugged as the two turned a corner.
"That isn't the point and you know it Hilde. We don't get to spend enough time together as it is. And now, because you insisted on me driving you home, there's two hours less that we could have spent together." Duo informed his friend once again.
"Duo, quit complaining. It's not my fault that you two are too afraid to have a public relationship. Besides, two hours is not that long and I really did not want to put up with Travis today. At least your boyfriend doesn't complain about your best friend all the time."
"After today he just might start. You owe me big time, Hil." Duo commented as the two walked into the drama room.
"So nice of you to join us Hilde. Duo? I thought you were going to be absent for today?" Une commented as she put some papers down on her desk.
Duo beamed at the woman. "So did I, Mrs. Une but things change and I'm now here to do your bidding, oh mighty queen." Duo bowed in a flourish of movement that made everyone applaud. Une nodded as the two walked over to their usual seats and greeted their companions. "Quatre, Noin." Duo nodded as he sat on the floor against the wall. There were only three chairs in the entire room after all and one was at the teachers desk. The other two were used for props and were off limits to the students to sit on. Everyone had to sit on the floor.
"Hi guys, how was your day?" Hilde asked as she plopped herself down beside Duo.
Quatre shrugged non-committedly. Quatre was the heir to Winner Enterprise and the only son out of 30 children. The blonde teen was small framed but he was a true diplomat. He was able to talk himself out of any situation that could get extremely dangerous or violent. He also noticed everything that was going on around him at all times and never missed any details, no matter how minute they were.
"Duo I'm sorry about today at lunch. I don't know why Zechs treats you like he does. I'm always telling him to leave you alone but he just wont' listen anymore." Noin apologized.
"Noin, don't worry about it. I've dealt with a lot worse than Zechs before. You don't need to apologize for the way he is. I don't have anything against you. Besides, if he's going to treat me the way he does, nothing that you say will stop him. Stop worrying over little 'ol me. I'm a big boy." Duo smiled kindly at the older girl.
