Life at Cinq High (5) Someone doesn?t like me much.~revised~

[Hitomi Lei]

Chapter 5: Someone doesn?t like me much.








The bell rang and Relena gathered her books. Another school day had come of a close and she was humming happily. Unlike yesterday, nothing bad happened today. No accidents, in fact she hadn?t even caught much more than a glimpse at Heero all day long. She didn?t even have to hurry around today because Milli was going to stay late grading papers anyway. In the quiet of the nearly empty library she smiled.

?I?ve got most of my homework done already so I?ll have time to get on the net and chat with Hilde and Cathy tonight. Although it is my time to cook?well, I guess Milli will be okay with meal-in-a-box.?

Relena picked up her huge stack of books and made her way out of the library door way. Impulsively she looked over her shoulder as she walked out the door to catch a glimpse at the poster she and Quatre had hung up a few hours earlier. In that missed time, she felt a sharp tug on her foot. That was the only warning she had before her world tilted violently and books again went everywhere. Relena?s shoulder banged hard against the tile floor before her head followed suit painfully. Stars swam before her eyes and then every thing went black.







Heero sighed as he taped up yet another brightly colored flier for Duo. When he had volunteered his time yesterday he hadn?t actually thought Duo would ask him to stay after school.

?I should have known. That idiot knows I hate staying here after schools out.? He mumbled to himself, quite convinced that Duo had plotted the whole thing to torture him. The sound of someone yelling down the hall caught his attention. He looked up to see a tall blonde man run by at the junction of the halls up ahead.

?Why would Mr. Peacecraft be in such a hurry?? He looked down at the thick stack of fliers he still had to tape up then down the hall where the commotion had gotten louder. It wouldn?t hurt to check it out and see what was going on, would it?









?Relena, Relena, wake up!! Relena!!? Milliardo knelt by his fallen sister. The first think he noticed was that her head was bleeding slightly. She looked so small lying there crumpled on the floor. The next thing he saw was the thin piece of fishing line that had been stretched across the doorway. From the look of things she had tripped over that.

?Just a few more minutes mom?? Relena moaned softly.
?Relena, sweetie, please look at me!? He knew he couldn?t move her since she had a head injury but he didn?t want to leave her still unconscious.

?Why is mom begging?wait that can?t be mom?? The hands that belonged to the voice started to touch her cheek lightly but with urgency.

?Uhhh?I?ll look at you?just leave me alone?. owwww?. my head?? Relena cracked an eye open. Milli was bent over her in a panicked state.

?What happened?my head feels like it was?? The pain was indescribable to Relena at the moment. She couldn?t remember how she had gotten on the floor and right now her head was too cloudy to even attempt it.

?You must have tripped coming out of the library,? said Milliardo, wringing his hands. Relena tried to sit up and rub her head. The motion made her dizzy and Milliardo pulled her around so that she could lean back into his chest. He pulled out a hanky and pressed it to the bleeding cut above her eye.

?I?m sorry Milli. I didn?t mean to be so clumsy.? Relena closed her eyes and tried to ignore the new pain that was blooming in her shoulder.

?It wasn?t you?re fault.? Milliardo looked up to see a male student holding the fishing line in his hand. Relena opened her eyes for a moment at the sound of Heero?s voice.

?Wh-what are you doing here?? She asked him as he knelt down beside her with his cell phone in hand. Heero ignored her question; instead he looked toward her brother.

?Do you want me to call EMS?? Relena?s brain finally processed what Heero had said when he walked in.

?What do you mean, it?s not my fault. You of all people know that I?m clumsy.? She frowned up at him and would have sat up if the pain in her shoulder and head hadn?t been so bad.

?I don?t think that will be necessary, I?ll carry her to the car in a moment then take her on to the hospital.? Milliardo answered him. Relena was feeling a bit put out because neither of them were answering her question.

?Hello! Girl on the floor in pain here would like her questions answered!?

?I think your right. Her attitude doesn?t seem to have suffered any.? Heero continued to ignore the girl, although he was a bit concerned for her.

?I agree with you on that. Relena, don?t squirm around so much, your head will bleed again!?

?Well if you would answer my questions!? She glared up at them both. Heero, in an uncharacteristic display of gentleness, bent down to her eye level.

?Do you even remember the question Relena?? He asked quietly. Suddenly all her anger drained out of her, leaving her feeling tired and in pain.

?No??

?I think you should take her to the doctor now, Mr. P.?

?I will, but could you drive my car? I don?t think she could sit up by herself.? Milliardo carefully picked his little sister up and motioned for Heero to get the keys out of his jacket pocket.

?Sure I?ll go now and bring it around.?

As Heero left, Milli cast one more glance back to the doorway where Relena had tripped. Above the door a printed piece of paper read.

?Uniforms suck. Don?t Let them trip up our school !!!?







?You have quite a nasty bruise on that shoulder young lady. I want you to wear this sling for a week and a half.? The doctor in the emergency room said. A nurse with limp blonde hair and large dark circles under her eyes helped Relena adjust the ugly white sling over her arm.

?I already hate this thing??
?As for your head,? the doctor sat down where he could be eye level with hers. ?You have a mild concussion. As for the laceration above your eye, those butterfly bandages should keep it from opening back up again. You?ll be okay, I just don?t want you in school for a day or so.? He patted her knee in a fatherly fashion.

Relena nodded, ?I can do that sir.?

In the waiting room Milliardo paced back and forth with worry. Heero had called Duo from the hospital and gotten a ride back to school to get his car. Milliardo turned when Relena came out from the examination room. He almost bowled her over with a bear hug. ?Ow!? she howled, when he grazed her shoulder.

?I?m so sorry sweetie! Are you okay? Is your arm broken? How about your head?? He gentle poked at the little white bandages taped to her forehead.

Relena gave a weak smile and laughed, she hurt too much for more than that.

?I?m okay Milli, I have a mild concussion and a bad bruise on my shoulder. I have to stay out of school for a day and take these pain killers.? She waved the white paper at him from the doctor.

?Since I can?t go to school tomorrow, can we stop and rent some movies?? Milli looked ready to do just about anything for his sister right now. He was determined to speak to Principle Winter in the morning.

Millardo smiled down at her. ?Sure, Relena.? Meanwhile, he was riddled with anger inside. ?I don?t know who hurt my sister, but I damn sure will not sit around and let them hurt her again!?

**reddens with the praise at the end of the chapter** P'shaw t'wasn't nothing. (Texan for "I didn't really do anything worth being thanked for.") :razz:

But your chapters are too short! Waaaaaaaah! And of COURSE Heero's got to be a butt head and ignore the pretty blond girl that he should thank the heavens for deigning to even tread on the same planet with him. **bonks Heero on the head** What is WRONG with you...stupid boy???

And he's got to ditch Dorothy! GAHHHHH. **smacks Heero again for daring to date anyone but Relena** You dolt!
