Sorry everybody for dropping off the face of the earth. I didn't actually realize people were reading it until I got my computer at home up in August, but then I went on vacation in Tahoe and had to read about 5-300 page books for school. Also, I'm taking honors classes and AP European History for my sophmore year. I'm only 14; *sniff* It's too much.
%Excuse my rambling. Now, on with the fic%

Popularity Problems Chapter 3: A Little Revenge Goes a Long Way
The bell ending the second period class rang. ~Bring~ Relena walked out of her chemistry class and to her locker. She grabbed her book for her English III honors course. As she closed her locker she came face to face with a very hyper red-head.
"Hey Rellie, what's up?" Catherine asked, using her nickname for Relena.
"Nothing much Cat, just scheming a little plan to get back at the dumb jock himself." Relena let out a little laugh.
"Yeah, that really sucked, but you got to admit it was a good shot."
"True, true, but now _my_ fun begins."
"Well, gotta go Rellie, but be sure to let me in on it at lunch, 'kay?"
Relena smiled; "Of course: you know I wouldn't have any fun without you."
Catherine walked off and let her hand fall to her side and thought about what Rellie could possibibly have under her sleeve. 'Well, whatever it is, this ought to be good.' She entered her sculpture class and forgot about it...for the moment.
"That onna really said that to him?" A Chinese boy stated. He was talking to Trowa at the lunch tables. He was 5`11 and was well-built. His pitch-black hair was pulled back into a ponytail, which reached about a inch above shoulder length. One could tell he was an exchange student and his negativity towards women, suprisingly, did not bother most of the girls. Most being the key word; another senior was the one person who didn't take it and constantly told him that she and other women were not weak.
"Uh-huh, I was surprised when my sis told me, too Wufei."
"At least she's not like all those other weak women who won't shut up about their looks and guys." Wufei commented.
"Yeah, but Heero got back at her." Trowa said taking a bite out of his hamburger.
Wufei sneered, "How so?"
"Well, you know Brooke?"
"Yeah; that stupid onna that can't shut up about Yuy."
The swim team captain continued, "Brooke wouldn't leave the new girl alone `bout Heero, so, finally, after a half hour, she screamed at her to shut up."
"It's time somebody told her to do that."
"I agree," Trowa spoke again, "Heero walked over to Relena and emptied his glass of water on her and told her to cool down or get out and walked away."
"That's new, doesn't sound like Yuy."
"Come to think of it. He hasn't exactly been himself since he met that PeaceCraft girl a few days ago."
Catherine and Relena were also eating lunch only they were eating alone and under the shade of a tree. They had been talking for most of the period. All of a sudden, Catherine burst out laughing.
"Remind me to never get on your bad side Rellie. I don't want to have to go through what Heero Yuy is going to experience from the likes of you." The vibrant red-head burst out in another round of laughter, which filled the park.
Duo, hearing the laughing, came over to see what Catherine thought was so funny. "Hey Cathy, what's so funny that I'm not a part of." Duo smiled at them.
"Oh it's nothing Duo. Have you met Relena PeaceCraft, yet? Duo, this is Relena. Relena, this is Duo." She gestured at her left side where Relena was sitting and then back to Duo.
Duo's eyes widened and he turned to Relena and grabbed her outstretched hand to shake it forcefully, "Hi. I don't see why Heero wouldn't want you fawning over him because I would if I didn't already have Hilde," he finished, winking at her.
"Um, thanks." Relena blushed. She wasn't used to getting those kind of compliments, but it was true; she was beautiful looking, "You heard what we said?" She asked.
"Yep, heard the whole thing," he smiled mischieviously before continuing, "Heeros sure scr--OW Hilde watch the hair." He looked at the german girl who had appeared and yanked his braid. He was proceeding to pet it and searched for split ends.
"C'mon Duo, leave the new girl alone. She already has enough of Heero. She doesn't need you bothering her," with that Hilde said goodbye to Catherine and dragged Duo by his ear."
Alone with Cathy again, Relena looked over to the basketball courts and saw Heero playing with Trowa. She then took out a paper and proceeded to write something down on it while her friend was looking over her shoulder.
"Hey," Cat pointed to a girl walking bye, "there's Brooke. You had better hurry while you still have a chance to do it."
Rellie folded the paper up and walked over to the Burnett. "Hey, Brooke," Brooke stopped and turned to look at her. Relena continued, "Listen, I'm sorry. It's that time of the month again you know how it is," she lied. "Well, anyways, I think Heero likes you that's why he poured that water on me. He was mad that I yelled at you."
"Really," Brooke's witless eyes lit up, "You think so?" She asked curling her hair around her finger.
"I sure do. And you know what, I saw him put this letter on your desk, but it fell off before you saw it." Relena handed her a piece of folded up paper.
Brooke unfolded it and then began to read it. As she did she seemed to go into a trance. Then, all of a sudden, she was practically jumping for joy.
"So, what does it say?" Relena asked trying very hard to keep the laughter out of her own voice. She already knew what it said had just felt like humoring himself. She smirked. 'mission completed'
Brooke sighed, "It says that he wants me to see him after he finishes his basketball game this period. He says he thinks that he's falling in love with me." She closed her eyes and sighed once more with a big smile pasted across her face.
