Chapter 2 is done. I didn't expect to be posting so soon, but I had a study hall, which I should be using to study for finals, and decided to not wait until vacation (next week :)) By the way, the story will develop into a relation- ship between Heero and Relena, but right now I'm enjoying writing their war^_^.
Disclaimer: I tried to get a loan to buy the rights to Gundam Wing, but that fell through. So, I don't own Gundam Wing, some rich companies do and bless them for airing it. Also, I'm P$$R, don't sue me.
*Popularity Problems chapter 2: Time to even the score*
Relena grabbed her book and closed her locker in a haste. She was wearing a baby blue halter top, but didn't bare her midriff and a tight, black, above-knee skirt with two small slits up the sides. Her black strap-sandals matched and her silver cross laying around her neck completed the outfit. 'Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. I'm going to be late.' Relena ran across the halls trying to get to class. Holding her books in one hand, she ran tugging her skirt down and attempting to make it to class in time. 'Damn it. Stay down.' The halls were lit by the dim morning-lights. The late bell was seconds from ringing and she still hadn't reached her class. 'There it is. Please don't let me be late.' She had spotted her classroom. She ran into the class barely in time before ~Bring~. The late bell rung. The 'new girl' stood panting against the door with her books clutched to her chest. She looked all around the classroom. Everyone was seated and they were looking at her. She was just standing there letting herself be late. 'Shit! Late on the second day.' Relena sighed, 'what a great way to start the day; yippee.'
The teacher, Mr. Larninski, looked at her. "Ms. Peacecraft, class has already started; please take a seat." Relena readjusted her skirt and headed towards the only seat left while setting down her BC-Calculus book. 'Great,' she thought sarcastically, 'Why is it that, despite being so popular, the seat next to this 'jock' is empty.' She glanced to the seat beside her; Heero Yuy sat to her right. 'Great, just great, can this day get any better?'
"Everyone take out a piece of paper and a pencil for a pop quiz." Mr. Larninski instructed the students.
'Of course; a pop quiz. What was I thinking; how could I miss that?' She rolled her eyes and hit her palm to her forehead. 'Duh!'
Heero sat in class, waiting for the bell to ring. He glanced at the only empty chair. 'Ten more seconds and she's late. 10...9...8...7...6..'
At that moment, Relena burst in the door panting slightly and clutching her books to her chest. 'Almost tardy on the second day, Relena; not a good impression.' He allowed himself a little smirk when he saw her mouth
'Oh shit!'. He looked at her, letting his gaze travel downwards. Noticing how high her skirt had run up, he almost stared. He shook his mind; 'She's just another preppy. _Another preppy that had insulted you._'
At a picnic table, Cathy was sitting with the star swimmer of the swim team. He had the most peculiar hairstyle that is often described as gravity-defying. He was about 6'1 and medium build. He wore a green shirt and his clothes were slightly baggy. He was a stoic type like Heero, but he smiled more and was a little looser. They were eating lunch and talking about something that had apparently made him want to laugh. Catherine spotted Relena walking out of the cafeteria and to the picnic tables, looking for a place to sit and waved her over to them.
"Hey, Relena, over here!" Cathy yelled, flashing her a smile.
Relena smiled at her red-headed friend and headed towards their table.
"Hi, what's up, Cat?"
"Hey Rellie, I was just telling Trowa over here," she pointed to the boy next to her, "my brother, what you said to Heero yesterday." She giggled some more. 'I just can't get it believe she said that.'
"Hi, my name's Relena," she shook Trowa's hand. Turning to Cat, she asked, "Is it really that big of a deal?" Placing her tray on the table, she sat down to join her friends.
"Yes; no one's ever insulted Heero like that," Trowa stated bluntly.
'If she really said that, she must have some guts. Hmm...I wonder what Wufei would say about this.'
"I'm surprised; the way he acted to me, I would've thought tons of people told him off. Why don't they, anyways?" She asked, a perplexed expression on her face.
"Well," the senior girl started, "all the girls like him and all the guys are afraid that they'll get their face punched in. Which reminds me, did you hear that he had threatened to break Chelsea's neck on vacation because she wouldn't leave him alone." She stated rather than asked.
"That sure reduced his fawning group."
Relena was shocked by this. "You mean to tell me, that he used to have more." 'I would have loved to see Heero suffer through that.' She let an evil smirk cross her features.
"Yep," Catherine grinned, "you should've seen it before."
"We should get to class; it starts in five minutes." Trowa proclaimed as they headed to their respected classes.
It was study period and they were all in a classroom, without a teacher; Relena, Heero, Duo, Catherine, Hilde, some girl that wouldn't stop bugging Relena, and a few other students. Heero was drinking a glass of water and intensely studying his paper. Hilde and Duo were flirting. Catherine was sitting on the desk, filing her nails and Relena was trying to get some work done,-key word: 'trying'-but one of Heero's many fans wouldn't stop running her mouth off about him.
"Don't you think Heero looks so dreamy? He just like so mysterious." The annoying girl sighed. "I think he likes me. Do you think so? Oh, I hope he does. That would be so great, I mean like totally like cool if I could-"
"Leave me alone already, will you?! I'm not having a good day and I don't care!" Relena screamed at the girl who had been saying things like she was for the last half-an-hour. 'I've only been at this school, two days. Two days, and I'm already losing my temper. I just know I'm going to regret this later.'
The basketball captain saw this whole display. He allowed himself a small smirk when he saw it, but decided to put the situation to better use. Heero walked up to Relena, still holding his cup. Relena glanced up, just in time to see feel a wetness fall upon her. Heero had poured his glass of water over Relena's head and shook it until every last drop was on her. Her face was dripping with water and her shirt was soaked through, so much so, that it clung to her. Relena became so angry. "You better cool down ," he pointed to the doorway, "or get out." Heero walked away 'Maybe I should've let her chew out that girl; it would be one less for me to deal with, but...I couldn't let the chance to even out the score pass by, now could I?' He smiled in his mind, but wouldn't let the world witness his satisfaction.
'I can't believe he did that. Well, two can play that game. Definitely. Heero, I've never been so embarrassed in my life, but you're going to pay for it with a little 'embarrassment' of your own. Just you wait and see Heero Yuy, just you wait and see.' Relena seemed hell-bent on revenge.
