Crossing Paths

by Izanami Hime

Disclaimers: Gundam Wing is not mine. I wish it was but I'm not that creative. You'll agree with me when you start reading my fanfic. The only characters that are mine are Suiri, Aya, Tanoshi, Shizuka, Meiyo, and any other characters that don't belong in GW. Thanks for reading it. Please send me mail. Flames are welcome too. I like to know when I really suck at something, but please remember this is my first attempt at fanfic writing.


Part 3


It was fourth period, and Tanoshi was getting tired of this school. Everyone was so preppy it made her wanna puke. She was getting her books out of her locker when the bell rang.

"Oh shit I'm gonna be late" Tanoshi quickly got her books and ran down the hallway to history class.

While rounding a corner she came in contact with something solid. She landed on the floor on top of someone. A boy. A cute boy, with a braid.

She could feel herself blush. 'Omigod this is SO embarrassing.' She quickly got off of the boy she had trampled over.

"I am SO sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, it's just that I'm late for class and it's my first day, and."

"It's okay, I wasn't paying attention to where I was goin' either. I guess it serves me right." He helped her up off the floor, and picked up her book.

"You're going to history next?"

Tanoshi nodded. "Yeah"

He smiled "Well I'm on my way there now too. Wanna walk with me?"

"Sure, if you don't think I'll knock you to the floor again." They started walking.

"I'm Duo."

"Tanoshi" Duo nodded as if storing the name somewhere for future reference.

"It's my first day here too. What do ya think so far?"

Tanoshi almost laughed. "I think this place is a major drag. The classes are easy, and I haven't met one person that I'd ever wanna be friends with. They're all major snobs. How about you?"

Duo did laugh. "My opinion is about the same as yours. As far as I'm concerned this place blows. But you're not like everyone else. You're different, cool."

"Well I try" she joked.

/**************************************/

They finally found their class, and Duo opened the door.

"Well here it is. History class. The land of a thousand Z's."

They walked in and just as in their other classes everyone suddenly shut up.

"It really freaks me out how they do that in every class." whispered Duo

"I know, it's weird." answered Tanoshi.

The teacher stood up and walked over to them. "Class we have two new students today."

He turned to face them, and spoke again. "Please introduce yourselves."

Duo took a step forward and smiled "I'm Duo Maxwell. I may run and hide, but I never lie."

Now it was Tanoshi's turn. She took a step forward, and smiled. "Tanoshi Iwakura. I look forward to being a part of your class."

With all that said and done Mr. Ijiwaru told them to take the empty seats in the back.

Once class started Duo decided to talk to Tanoshi again.

"That uniform looks good on you."

Tanoshi smiled "Thanks, I think."

He took a deep breath, like he was nervous about something, then he spoke.

"Um, are you doing anything tonight? There's this really cool club around here, and I was wonderin' if you'd wanna go with me?"

Tanoshi tried her hardest not to laugh. He had said that all in one breath. "Yes, of course, I'd love to go."

"Mr. Maxwell, Ms. Iwakura please stop talking. You can get to know each other all you want after class" Mr. Ijiwaru interrupted.

"Gomen nasai Ijiwaru-san. We'll stop talking," said Duo with a smirk on his face.

"We'll talk after class" he whispered to Tanoshi.

"Sure thing."

Mr. Ijiwari started his speech. "History is not just a bunch of dead people class. It's important. If you don't learn history you're doomed to repeat it..."(1)

/**************************************/

Once the bell rang Duo had Tanoshi follow him into a secluded part of the hall.

"So you really wanna go?" asked Duo, not sure if she had been joking.

"Yes I really wanna go."

"Okay then I'll pick you up at 7 p.m. at your room. Uh, where's your room?"

Tanoshi looked in one of her folders and found it. "I'm at room 366. It's on the second floor"

"Great, I'll see you at 7 then." With that he turned around and headed to his next class.

Tanoshi practically skipped to her locker. She was in a very good mood. She couldn't wait until 7 when she'd see him again. She grabbed her books and walked off to her next class thinking of Duo.

1) Is it just me or does every history teacher give that speech at least three times a year?
