Chapter 5

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next day passed by like any other day. Duo was made fun of by Zechs and his friends. However, it seemed like there was a bit more vehemence than usual.

He went to class, had his usual conversations with his friends. Didn’t see Heero during the morning, not that he ever did see the Japanese boy before fifth period; their schedules just didn’t coincide with each other. Computers and English were his morning classes and then he had a spare. Walking out of English class, Duo had a big smile on his face. He’d aced that assignment that had been handed in yesterday.

Nothing was going to ruin today. Hilde teased him about his mark as the two walked into the cafeteria to eat their lunch. They spotted Wufei and Meiran already sitting at their usual spots and they joined their two friends.

“What’s with the big smile, Duo?” Meiran asked in between bites of her sandwich.

“Mister here almost got perfect on his English work today. I think he’s holding back some talent. After all, that computer stuff can’t be all he’s good at.” Hilde commented as she playfully punched Duo’s arm.

Just as Wufei was about to make a crack about Duo’s math skills, a voice off to their left, beat him. “Of course not Miss Schbeiker. I’ve heard he’s quite talented at sucking guys off.” The four tuned to see Zechs standing at the head of the table. “But I could be wrong; word of mouth can’t always be trusted.” The blonde shrugged. “Then again, a mouth would be the most reliable source in that case. Wouldn’t it be Maxwell?” Duo ignored the man; Zechs was just trying to pick a fight. He didn’t need that. “I’m talking to you Maxwell.” Zechs boomed, catching most of the room’s attention.

“Zechs, what you’re doing is not talking, it’s taunting. It’s all you’ve ever done since you found out I was gay, even before that. God, don’t you have anything better to do then spend time teasing and tormenting me?” Duo asked as he looked the blonde boy in the eyes.” I’ve never done anything to you. Especially anything that remotely resembled hitting on you or even remotely being interested. What is it that you hate about me so much?” Duo questioned, he wasn’t trying to get sympathy, he was truly curious as to why the boy hated him so much.

Zechs snarled darkly at him. “People like you make me sick. You’re all sick individuals. You are not normal and should all be eliminated from existence. Why do I hate you? Because you are who you are.” with that Zechs left the room, followed by his regular entourage.

“Does that even qualify as an answer?” Wufei inquired as he tried to make light of the situation.

“Not really but then again this is Marquise we are talking about.” Hilde pointed out. The three friends were so caught up in their conversation that they didn’t notice Duo sitting quietly nor when he got up and left.

Duo walked down the hall in quite contemplation. It was really bugging him, he kept going over every school year, trying to figure out what he had done to deserve the treatment he was getting from Zechs. He just couldn’t think of anything. He hadn’t even tried being friends with the guy. Sighing softly, Duo opened his locker to retrieve his science books. Maybe he would go to the library and work on some extra work before class. Reaching up on the shelf to grab a pen from his pencil case, Duo noticed two pieces of paper flutter to the ground. Bending down, he picked them up and opened on. It was from Heero. It wasn’t signed but he could tell it was just by the hand writing. Reading the note over again, Duo couldn’t help but smile. Heero was such a sap. Putting the note in his back pack, he brought his attention to the other paper. Opening it, Duo gasped at what was written. And once again he wondered what he’d done to Marquise.

“What’s that?” Hilde asked as she stepped up beside the boy, opening her locker in the process. Duo didn’t respond so Hilde snatched the paper from his hand and began to read it allowed. “’You will pay for everything you’ve ever done, as well for everything you are. I’ll get you when you least expect it. And don’t worry, it’ll hurt lots.’ How lame can someone get?” Hilde shook her head before turning her attention to her braided friend. “Duo, who wrote this?” She asked her best friend.

Duo had finally managed to shake out of his stupor to look at Hilde. “I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count.” Hilde made a face; she was pretty sure who’d written the note. “Hil? What did I ever do to him? I’ve been trying to figure it out but I just can’t!” Duo exclaimed as he punched the locker beside his own, leaving a fairly large dent where his hand had connected.

“You didn’t do anything Duo. He is just someone who needs help.” Hilde reassured her friend as she caught him in an embrace. Duo returned the hug for a moment before pulling away and giving her a smile.

“Thanks, I needed that.”

“No problem, that’s what best friend are for after all. Now, let’s go to the library for a bit and then head to class. Wufei said he’d wait for you outside of science class.

The two spent the rest of the lunch hour in the library and when the first bell went off, they took their separate ways. Duo walked into his science class in a slightly better mood then he’d been in earlier. “Feeling better Maxwell?” Wufei inquired as the boy sate down beside him.

Duo nodded as he opened his text. They weren’t going to get anything done today. Sally Po still wasn’t back and they had a different substitute then yesterday. Duo just absolutely loved his science class.

After science, the two made their way to math and sat down in their seats. “Shall we get correcting my work?” Duo asked as he opened his work book. Wufei gave him an affirmative nod as he did the same.
