Chapter 3
When I got to lunch the next day Wufei was at the table  ;with a stupid little grin on his face.& nbsp;
“Hey, what’s up&n bsp;with him?â€
“Oh, noth ing really. He just asked Relena out and she said ‘yesâ€&t rade;.â€
“Is that all.&nb sp;WHAT?! Congrats Wuman. So, when is the big day? â€
“Friday. By the w ay I heard you are going out for tr ack and field.â€
Glaring at Quatre. “Funny. He startled me.  ;He came back and startled me again at 11:00.
Then he gave me a ride home. â€
“Really, why?â€& nbsp;
“He said he was driving&nb sp;by and saw me closing up.â€
~*~
Lunch passed quickly and I was once again solv ing a math problem on the board. The&nbs p;
problem was placed a little higher on the board& nbsp;so I had to stretch some causing my shirt to& nbsp;
go up slightly. I could hear some&n bsp;one clear their throat then a female  ;voice offer a cough
drop and some giggling. As I took my seat I discovered that it was that Noin girl who was
giggling. Zechs had his head buried in his notes. It&nbs p;was slightly disappointing because it was < br> one of the few times I actually had a chance to look&nb sp;at him without being obvious.
After school I we nt to meet Sister Helen at the mall. Once at the mall I made a slight detour
at& nbsp;the music store. My favorite band, Weszt , has a new CD out. Standing in line to make my  ;
purchase, I spied Zechs walk up to  ;stand behind me.
“Hey.â€
“Hey.†I would lik e to state for the record that I did not jump.
“You don’t have to work today?â€
I was c alled to the counter by the cashier. Aft er I made my purchase I responded to&nbs p;his
inquiry. “No, Iâ€&t rade;m here to help Sister Helen.â€
Sudde nly there was a glass shattering scream, “DUO!!â&eu ro;
Any conversation with the guy of&nbs p;my dreams ended right then and there. I was swarmed by
eight jovial kids.  ;
“Oh, there you are!â€&nb sp;
“Sorry, I wanted to pick&nbs p;up Weszt’s newest.†I handed the bag to Sister Helen.
&ac irc;€œAre you going to introduce me&nbs p;to your friend?â€
“Uh?& acirc;€ I turned to see Zechs holding&nb sp;Mei. “Oh, sorry! Sister Helen this is Zechs. Zechs this i s
Sister Helen.â€
“P leasure to meet you.â€
â€&oe lig;Likewise, Ma’am.â€
â €œI’m Mei.â€
“Nice to meet  ;you.†He shook the hand she pres ented to him.
“Mia is not here.†At that statement I looked around and Mia wasn’t there.
“⠀Why not?â€
“Sheâ&e uro;™s sick.â€
Taking pity on&nbs p;him I informed him on just who was sick. “Mia is her twin sister.â€
â€&oel ig;Oh.â€
“Who’s& nbsp;ready to go to the playground?â€&n bsp;A round of cheers of ‘me&ac irc;€™ went up.
“Come&nbs p;on Mei.†I reached to take her& nbsp;from Zechs.
“I don’t w ant to!†She tightened her hold o n Zechs.
“You have to we&n bsp;are leaving and I’m sure Zechs doesn’t want a monkey hanging on him all
day.â€
“I can&nb sp;carry her to the playground. I don’t mind.†With the in credulous look I gave him he
added “reallyâ€.
“Just a warning she may never let go.â€
“Iâ €™m not worried. I can be very persuasive.â €
True to fashion when we arrived&n bsp;at the playground Mei would not let go. He walked away a
bit. After he whispered something to her he set&nb sp;her on the ground and she took off&nb sp;into the
playground. Walking up to me he sat down on the bench reserved for the parents.
“You have  ;to tell me your secret.â€
â €œIt’s simple, I told her a secret.â€
“In tha t case, I wish I had secrets.â€
“You don’t have secrets?â€
&ac irc;€œNot really and the few that I do have would not interest a four year old.â€
“ Why don’t you just make one up?â€
“That  ;would go against my life’s motto.â€
â ;€œWhich is?â€
“I may run and hide, but I never tell a lie.â&eu ro;
Before he could respond a greeting&n bsp;and his name was called out causing us both to turn.
Two girls and a guy&n bsp;were walking toward us. The girls, I recognized as Hilde and Noin. I
have no clue as to th e identity of the guy.
“He y guys.â€
“What are you doing at the playground?â€
“I was& nbsp;talking to Duo while I was waiting for the three of you. Oh, how rude of me. Duo this
is Hilde and Trowa and Noin. Guys this is Duo.â€
“We have a few classes togethe r.†I felt it necessary to mentio n to Noin.
“That… ;†A loud thump made me turn and check on&nbs p;the kids. Mei was on the ground crying
her heart out with Pete circling. “Excuse me.†I went to&n bsp;get Mei. As I picked her up Pete&nbs p;
continued to tell Mei that he was  ;sorry and that it was an accident, &aci rc;€œit’s okay, Pete. Go
ahead and go play.†He dashed&nbs p;off.
I carried Mei back to the se ats. Setting her on my lap I asked, “Where are you&nbs p;hurt,
Sweetie?†Her crying subsided& nbsp;into body racking sobs.
“H ere.†She pointed to her knees. I kissed each one. “Here.â&euro ; I kissed each palm. Then she
pointed to the back of her head, I kissed there. Then she began to point in various areas. I
kissed them until the third one and started to tickl e her all the while saying, â€&oel ig;You don’t hurt
there you&nbs p;just want kisses.†I then kissed her f ace all over. She was laughing so hard&n bsp;her
breaths were coming in short gas ps.
“Stop! Stop!â€
& acirc;€œWhat was that?â€
â& euro;œStop! Please!â€
“O kay, I accept your surrender. Now, go play.â€& nbsp;She ran off and I noticed some curi ous looks
from Zechs and his friends. I must admit I was so wrapped up in Mei th at I completely
forgot about them.
“Duo, you are going to make&nbs p;some girl very happy.â€
â& euro;œDoubtful.â€
“Duo.â ;€ Some strange cephalopod creature came  ;walking toward me.
“Q didn’t I&n bsp;warn you that if you eat all of  ;that octopi that you will turn into one .â€
“Very funny. How do you get them off?â€
â&eur o;œRelease!†They all let go and ran back to the playground.
â&eur o;œYou all have 10 minutes and then we are leaving.† ;
“Ahhh…â€
“Q this Zechs, Hilde, Noin and& nbsp;Trowa. This is Quatre.†Various f orms of hello were said to Q
and&nb sp;Q returned them.
“Zechs we&n bsp;have to go.â€
“Alrigh t. It was good running into you especial ly since I got to meet that little girl. It was
nice to meet you Quatr e.â€
We all said goodbye. Then&nbs p;Qbean freaked. “That’s&nb sp;him!â€
“Who?†< br> “Trowa!â€
“T he gymnast?†He nodded frantically. &a circ;€œIs he gay?†Another nod.& nbsp;“Then, what is stopping
yo u?†He went pale. “Never mind.†I knew the reason because it was the same one I had if I
knew Zechs was gay.
“Alright, Maxwel l kids line up.†Once everyone wa s present and accounted for we made our way home. Q stayed at the mall to do so me shopping.
