A day in Shakespeare class
This class couldn't get ant more boring than it already is. Shakespeare? Who really needs Shakespeare?! I could be in my room now sleeping if it wasn't for that Baka ,Heero. We've got a big mission tonight and all he can think about is "Blending in".....what a weirdo! Resting his head on the palm of his hand, the violet-eyed pilot stares off into space. Heero a couple of seats away from him, stares at the clock.20 more minutes. Just 20 more minutes and I can go to sleep.This class really is boring,that stupid kid was right...for once

.Everyone in the room was either asleep,or reading comic books.There was the occaisional loud snore here and there,but other than that,nothing but the sound of the clock's ticking could be heard. Heero fought off sleep as much as he could,shifting his weight in his chair every 5 seconds or so.Reaching in his desk,he pulled out a piece of paper and scribbled on it. Now I have 15 minutes.How can time go by so damn slow? Self destruct mode sure sounds good right about now...Closing jis eyes,Duo slowly drifts off to sleep.Just as he began to dream,a piece of paper bounced off his head.Letting out some sort of yell,he falls back landing with a lous smack on the floor. Stupid baka! He is so getting a punch in the stomach after class!

"Ahem! Excuse me,Duo Maxwell,do you have a problem with the difference between comedy and tradegy?" Very slowly,Mrs.Caruso walks over to his desk. "Well,if you have no further objections, you play the role of Romeo." A light knock on the door interupted her from the embarrassing speech she was about to give. Slamming his hand on the desk,Duo turns around amd throws the piece of paper back at Heero. It lands about half way and the two stare at eachother mouthing words such as: "I will kill you","You're dead meat", "Stone-face"and "Baka" untill the teacher walks in.

"Well,kids.We seem to have a new student." The attention of all the kids including Heero and Duo was taken by the girl standing next to her. "Would you care to introduce your self?" The tall,slender girl calmly walked to the center of the class.Feeling the burn of Heero's stare,she glared back at him. "I'm Mina Andrews..." Just as her maroon eyes made contact with Duo's,hie elbow came out from under him.Slamming his head on the desk,he sighed in frustration.This just isin't my day.Talk about falling for a girl...Hey! Ijust saw her in the colonies! I'd better tell Heero.

"Welcome to Shakespeare class,Mina!We have about 7 minutes left of class,just take a seat next to Heero and Duo." Smiling,the teacher handed her a text book and sat down in the front of the room.As she walked to the back of the room,she could still feel Heero's stare.Sitting at her desk,she puts her text book down and picks the piece of paper off of the floor and mutters: "I take it you're Heero..." As she writes in it,Duo waves his hands,trying to get Heero's attention.Opening his desk,he pulls out one of the many rubberbands adn fires it at Heero. I just HAVE to tell him about that girl!

Heero recoiled , swatted the rubberband sending it right into Mina's lap.She looks up and sticks her tounge out,her long braid almost touching the floor.Mina stares for a brief second and goes back to writing.Balling up his fists,Heero shakes it at Duo and whispers: "Just wait till we get outta class..." Kids start to head to the door,extremely eager to get out.

The bell rings and all of the kids rush out the door.Standing up,Duo stretches,takes a step and, falls flat on his face.Swerring,he pulls himself up to the desk only to be met with the gir'ls maroon eyes.She smiles and grabs her text book. "And I take it you're Duo," Mina turns around and walks to the door, "Nice to meet both of you, ja-ne!" and walks to her room.

Heero grabs the piece of paper off her desk and reads it out loud: "Both of you meet me in the lunchroom at midnight..."
Duo rubs his head and swipes the paper from Heero.The class was now empty.Laughter and talking filled the halls as kids went to thier rooms.Heero gathered his things and walked passed him,sighing to himself.He turned around,and was met by Duo's devilish grin.He raised one eyebrow and threw the paper at Heero. "I wonder what she wants..."Duo muttered.Pulling his text book out of his desk,he walked over to the door.The talk in the halls went down a bit and there was a meeting being held in the next room. "We'd better get outta here." Heero walks to the door and leaves.

11:30 Duo and Heero's room
That girl seemed troubled.I don't know why I care,but if helping her dosen't concist of the Alliance,then she'll get no help from me.Duo on the other hand would walk over fiery coals for a pretty face.It's not my fault if that baka ends up dead,that's all I can say. Laying on his bad,Heero satres up at the ceiling.His computer starts to beep, he jumps up and rushes to it. Mission cancled? Since when? Great. Now I'll probally end up staying up all night with that girl and Mr.Giggles...The sound of Duo's shower stopping caused the over-tired pilot to sigh and shake his head. It took him almost an hour to take a frickin' shower.I bet he used all the hot water in the place! There goes my shower....

11:45 Mina and Abbey's room
Well this sure is nice...Standing in the door way of the vast room,Mina glanced over to her room mate.Posters,Christmas lights and,little clooectibles hund from the walls.The large tz was on,and the stereo was blasting cult techno.The girl was sitting up side down on a blow up chair,playing videogames.When she noticed Mina,she quincky jumped up and held out her hand. "I'm Abbey! I'm guessing you're Mina?"

Mina stood there for a while looking at her.Dropping her bag she took the girl's hand."Yup...I'm Mina!" Looking around,she picked up her bags. "What section of the place is mine?" Abbey smiled and pointed to the bed near a window. "You can put your stuff on the shelves over there,and toher things in the drawers on the far right.I hope you like plants..."

Well this sure is strange...What a happy girl.I think we could learn alot from each other. The more people I meet,the more I want to stay here. Mina walked over to her new bed and puts her bags on the floor. Opening a large crate,she pulls out a glass cage.Lifting the lid,she pulls out a large,hairy tarantula. "I hope you don't mind my pet,Little. He's a tad bit skittish cause of all the moving.

Abbey screams and picks up a rolled up newspaper and swings it at Mina. "I HATE bugs...AAAHHHHHH!" Grabbing it from her,Mina stands up and whacks Abbey on the head.Little jumps onto Mina's head out of harms way. "Don't you DARE hurt my baby! If I'm being polite and dealing with you're STUPID plants,at least you could try to be nice to my dear little!" Sitting there for a second,Abbey rubs her head and walks over to Mina.She sat next to her and slowly raises her hand. "Does this ugly thing bite?" Still unpacking,Minna quickly glances at Abbey. "Only if he dosen't like you..."

Petting the spider,Abbey continues talking to the strange girl. "Yeah, I heard alot about you. You're that girl from the colonies,aren't you? I used to live there,but I moved here.You're the one in Mrs.Caruso's class today,huh? I pity you having to sit next to Heero.He's not the nicest guy in the world.Duo on the other hand,now he's a cutie!!"The atrantula quickly dashes up Abbey's arm,causing her to scream and run around the room. "I think he likes you..." Yawning,Mina stares at her watch.She jumps up,grabs a jacket and,storms out the door. "Take good care of Chibi,I'll be right back..."

Shit! I'm about 5 minutes late.I hope they don't think I ditched them or something.This really is important.I should have kept track of time...Running quickly down the main hall,she quickly dashes out the door.Dodging bushes in the moon-lit courtyard,she makes her way to the lunchroom.Just as Mina reaches it,she notices that it's locked.Mina fiddles with her braid unitll a lockpick falls to the floor.Grabbing it,she wiggles it around in the lock untill in opens,Thank god for cheap-ass locks.And she ducks inside.

Turning on the light,she yells and falls back on the floor.She begins to pull out one of her throwing daggers and stands up."How in the living hell...."Grinning,Duo points to an open window and laughs. "Like a typical girl...you like to take things the hard way." Standing next to him,Heero crosses his hands in front of him and sighs. "What is it that you want?"

Mina takes a couple steps closer and sat in a chair. Looking at the floor,she begins to speak. "I'm just going to make this short as possible. I'm Mina Andrews,if you haven't heard already.I'm from the colonies.My parents were assinated just recently and I was sent down here to ask for your help.The alliance is after me for some reason and I'm slowly running out of options.I'll wait for your answer...untill then,I'll stay out of your way-and you stay out of mine...." She slowly stands up and walks out the door.

"H-Hey! Wait! Duo takes a step and looks back at Heero. "Well,what are we going to do about her?" Standing there with his eyes closed,Heero growls. "We'll take care of her...but once she gets in the way,she's finished." He walks to the door and begins to leave. "Next time be a little nicer to the girl..."

I hope they want to help me.If not,I don't know what to do...I guess I'll figure it out when the time comes.I wish I didn't have so many bases around here to destroy,this princess is getting a tad bit tired...Mina pulled open the doors of the school and went up to the 2nd floor.Slowly walking down the hall,she searched for her room. Was it 17-a or 18-a? Comming to a stop,she rested her hand on the door knob and opened it. "Um Abbey?Where did-" Tripping on something,Mina reaches for the light switch.As light flooded the room,she noticed all of the things in the room were thrown around. "Abbey? Abbs-where are you?"
She franitcally runs to the window and looks down. "Jeesus Christ! Abbey,how in the hell did you get down there?" Tugging in the rope,Mina drags Abbey back inside. Catching her,she falls to the floor on broken glass. "Shit!" Getting up,she unites her and wraps her up in a blanket. "Abbey,it's okay now...Please tell me what happened..."

Still crying,Abbey leans over and rests her head on Mina's shoulder. "These soldier guys came in a-and I couldn't take them all on at the same time.They knocked me down and tied me up.They ruined everything...this room took me a long time to finish...and it's completly ruined..."

Letting Abbey go,Mina stands up and walks out the door. "You stay here.I'm going to go find help.If you get into trouble,just yell." Mina ran down the hall and up the stairs. I don't know hwere the dean is,but he's gotta be somewhere around here...she shouldn't be getting involved... She continues to run untill she loses her footing and falls. "Whoah!!" Sliding about 5 inches on the tile floor,Mina struggles to get up.Getting angrier by the second,she growls. "Whoever did that is going to pay-"

A boy helps her up,pulling her close and dusting her off.His brown eyes met with hers and they stood there for a while. "You took a pretty good fall," He looked down at her hands. "And you're bleeding,are you okay miss?"The two of them stood there untill Abbey's yell echoed through the halls.
"Mina!!! Mina! Mina!!"

Oh shit! I forgot about Abbey. I keep getting distracted,this is already not good...Mina shoves him away and runs down th her room.He follows her,dropping his books.They both run down the hall,and as soon as Mina reaches the doorway,she comes to an abrupt stop,slamming the kid into the wall. "Duo...Heero,what the hell are you doing here?"

"Well,we heard lots of yelling and came to see what happened.Heero and I came in here and noticed your room is a total mess..." The two boys were on either side of the room,gathering blankets and pillows. "Who's THAT guy?" Pointing at the wall,Duo looks at Mina.

"Never mind that! Where are Abbey and I going to stay?" Abbey is still yelling and crying an the bed. "Abbs- will you SHUT UP?" The room all of a sudden falls quiet. Heero walked over to Abbey and throws her over his shoulder.Walking to the door,he mutters. "You're staying with us tonight. Duo,show Mina to the room...see ya."

Watching as Heero takes Abbey up the stairs,Minna looks back on Duo and crosses her arms in front of her. "Don't expect me to be the poor little victim and thank you for saving me or anything.Cut the crap,show me the room." She looks at the boy on the floor and helps him up. "Thank you for helping me...um...My name is Mina,what's yours?" The boy smiles and shakes her hand. "I'm Sean!Would you like me to show you where thier room is? It's right next to mine." They both start walking, leaving Duo behind. Giggles and loud talking started to fill the halls.

"H-Hey! What about me? I was supposed to show her! It's not even YOUR room!!" Duo takes a few steps and yells down the hall,and runs after them. "OK Romeo! Just say good-night and GO AWAY!!" The jealous pilot stood at the door and stomps his foot.It was knida hard not to be a little jealous. Looking at the window,he sighed. I need to tell Heero that I saw her in the colonies...

Closing the door behind her,Mina walks in and stares at the boys-and the sitll crying Abbey. "Abbs-don't be such a wus! You want adventure,don't you? Well,you've got it.Now shut up!!" She looks around and sat down on a chair. "Well? Where do we sleep?"

"Over there on that bed by the window.Here are your blakets,school starts at 7:30 in the morning.We'll try to figure out what happened tomorrow...untill then,get some sleep." Heero turns off the lights and they all fall asleep.
