How To Be A Lady: Chapter Three

**

She must have imagined it--- for a brief second she could have sworn that panic had flickered across Ms. Yuy?s face. But as she looked to confirm what she had seen she was instead presented with the calm indifferent look that had resided there since she met the girl.

Instead, she ignored Ms. Yuy at present as she returned the exuberant girls waves--- watching as Hilde (Gasp!) came running towards the pair.

Hilde as friendly as she was, was very much a part of the gossipers circle, where no matter how little the secret she was very much aware of it and very eager to tell the rest of the school. One could not be too careful about what one should say around her despite the kind face and serious tone she took when promising up-most secrecy on any topic that might be considered too private for the school?s ears.

So it was most fascinating to watch Hilde in the morning, afternoon, and evening--- where anyone could see that she was running about school to all the different social circles gossiping and being gossiped too about who and this and that.

(She was very much considered the track teams star player--- all that running coming in handy on and off-season!)

When she finally arrived near the two of them, she could see Hilde was slightly out of breath (an unusual sight--- obviously running around the school as per usual morning routine.)

?Relena--- Oh! I?ve been looking for you all morning, you won?t believe what I have to tell you about Miss ?Mipsy-I?m so Prissy? it was the most unbelievable thi-?

Relena on the other hand didn?t care much for gossip, as it was the soul basis to a lot of the nasty rumors that went about school--- however--- convincing Hilde of this was a whole other obstacle that had been attempted on various occasions, all failures. But as it were, Relena was glad to have an excuse to interrupt for once.

Holding up her hand in a mild gesture that worked well enough to pause Hilde, Relena turned to Miss Yuy so that she could both look at the two girls who now stared at her with very different expressions.

?Hilde, I?d like you to meet Miss Yuy, Miss Yuy I present to you my best friend Hilde--- and all around Queen of the gossipers here at our school.?

Hilde at this sort of presentation of herself would have usually shot Relena a good roll of the eyes and nice view of her tongue--- but surprisingly enough she was staring at Miss Yuy with an odd look of recognition.

How very interesting.

(And if Hilde were to have any information on the somewhat indifferent girl--- Relena wasn?t all too sure that she wouldn?t mind hearing the gossip.)

Heero very much believed he was going to have a heart attack.

How could it be that fate had played him the wrong hand--- no more than two or three feet away from him was a girl who could very well blow his cover--- could ruin his chances from ever succeeding in his challenge and therefore leaving him without any way to enter into the club he so desperately wanted to join.

It was all going so wrong for him--- and not even two hours into the challenge.

How was he ever to survive if he even beat past this major obstacle?

The idea of running away with the excuse of needing to urgently grab his luggage was a very tempting thought indeed--- but the absurdity and the attention he might receive from the two ladies in front of him was not wanted and he could not risk the chance of being recognized just because he felt like panicking.

So--- it was with a keen sort of determination that he had stood right as he were when the girl ran the distance between the school?s main doors to the current sidewalk they were now centered on.

He watched with a bit of relief now flooding his alert senses as the girl begun to ramble out a quick greeting before moving onto some type of gossip (which girls were so known for).

However--- as stated before, fate did not like Heero--- and now Heero was not too keen on fate.

Relena at that moment decided to stop the girl and introduce the two to each other, which was of course something Heero would rather have had left alone at present.

?Hilde, I?d like you to meet Miss Yuy, Miss Yuy I present to you my best friend Hilde--- and all around Queen of the gossipers here at our school.?

At that moment, Hilde turned to look at Heero--- and instant recognition flashed over the young girl?s face.

He could see what she was thinking--- Christmas of last year at his neighbor?s holiday party. A rather large party that involved the entire neighborhood and the large social circle centering around the neighborhood.

His Mother at the time was quite open about how depressed she was at her son?s lack of social skills--- and very little interest it seemed in the opposite sex (which had been going on ever since he was the young age of two in a disastrous pudding accident). Too Heero?s horror, his Mother had gone to tell complete strangers at the party of her opinion on Heero?s social life.

And as women were to sympathize--- it was Hilde?s very Mother who was present at this declaration of his Mother?s opinions.

Sadly enough--- the two parents somehow came together with a plan, as Hilde was very much the social butterfly and at current without a boyfriend--- the obvious result being that the two thinking that their son or daughter should in fact get together.

Heero (one could guess) was not in the least thrilled by the idea.

Yet--- he couldn?t avoid meeting Hilde, and it was there Heero made an ass of his self in front of Hilde (who is usually the happiest of people in even a dire situation). And as it was, Heero insulted both Hilde?s annoying personality and physical appearance.

Hilde was not amused, and having spotted a punch bowl not too far away--- had raced over to grip the side of the bowl to then pour the contents atop Heero?s head.

It wasn?t a fond memory in that respect--- but an accomplishment on his part as he did get rid of the girl and deflate his Mother?s plans of his ever getting together with Hilde.

Yet--- the accomplishment was not looking all together as such a great feat now that he could see that Hilde was also remembering a certain situation he had just reminisced not two seconds ago.

?I must say Miss Yuy? (emphasis on Yuy) ?your name sounds rather familiar, and now that I take a closer look at your face? (Hilde then proceeds to move her face closer to the already very uncomfortable ?Miss Yuy?) ?you very much remind me of a certain horrid fellow I met only last year.?

Without knowing it, both girls could see Miss Yuy grow a sickly shade, her face losing all color.

?You wouldn?t by any chance know a certain Mr. Heero Yuy, maybe the two of you are related--- Brother? Cousin? 3rd Cousin twice removed??
But alas--- fate decided to reconcile with Heero. And Heero discovered his new best friend.

It wasn?t seconds after this interrogating question brought forth--- that Duo (God Bless His Soul) came walking out of a nearby door located no more than ten feet away from the trio.

To both the girls disappointment, Duo chose at that moment--- seeing his friend in a state of panic despite the still indifferent look on his face--- came rushing to his aid with a big hearty hello to both his soon-to-be guide and the very lovely lady now standing next to Heero.

And despite the girl?s at present being reluctant to let Miss Yuy off the hook--- they couldn?t help be distracted by what Duo must have thought a rather good impression of what a girl?s voice should sound like.

It was to Heero?s relief, that Duo was a horrible imitator and had such good timing that he for once was very glad that he had him as his companion in the challenge.

So with a silent sigh of relief, Heero watched as Duo handed him his luggage which had his guide Miss Darlian turning once again to show them the way to their dorms--- while Hilde having still more people to gossip too, ran rather quickly away--- although, not without shooting Heero a look that promised sudden impending doom should she not get to interrogate ?her?.

And so it was, Heero?s first morning at Lady Anne?s school for girls.

AN: I had so much more fun writing this when compared to the last chapter. I?m happy to say that I actually think this story will turn out quite nicely and actually be finished by this author. Yay. Ung. And my tummy is full and Happy Thanksgiving!!! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my writings and will be kind enough to leave a review. Thanks!

Coolness. poor heero. hehehehe

[Wingnut]

Remind me again as to exactly why they are doing this again?
Hilde will blow it for sure, although I suspect that she will uncover Duo before Heero. And I find it hard to believe that they didn't think of girl first names for themselves by now. Espically Heero.

[bookworm]

Oh! Definitely a good part. Can't wait to read the next one!

[AngelOfDeath]

Happy!

I hope you write more soon..... puh-leeeease?
