Chapter 1 --- The new girl ---
Meiran Maxwell was in love.
At least that's what she figured. 'cause.. How else could she explain it? She had always found herself shifting her attention to his direction unknowingly. Her ears would perk up whenever he started to speak in the class. And in the afternoon, she would hide in the corner of the gym, behind a huge fan group of girls, just so that she could catch a glimpse of him practicing basketball.
The way he moved agilely on the court. The way his glittering sweat lingered at the tip of his black silky hair. The way his dark eyes focused and concentrated at the basket before he made his 3-point shot.
Oh yeah. She was definitely in love.
Even now, she was staring at him, who sat in the classroom two seats to the left in front of her. As usual, his left elbow rested on the window frame as he paid attention to the teacher. He always paid attention. After all, he was the smartest guy in the class. Well. maybe the second smartest. if that Heero Yuy did not beat him to be the first place last quarter.
"Meiran?" Sitting next to Meiran, her best friend who happened to be her roommate, Catherine, nudged her arm gently.
Still half dreaming, Meiran hardly felt the nudge and only sighed contently as she watched the man of her dreams shifted in the chair slightly.
Ah.. what she would give to be the chair for just a fraction of second...
"Meiran!" Catherine stressed her voice but kept still kept it at the whispering level for the teacher was now introducing a new student in the front.
Meiran finally gave Catherine the attention she deserved. "What?" Meiran answered with slightly irritation but still kept her eyes on the back of her crush.
Catherine sighed for she recognized ---that look---. She leaned closer to Meiran, trying to get her to hear better. "You didn't tell me you have a half sister." She whispered, harshly.
"Un..." Meiran smiled, but not at her best friend because her crush had just turned his head around and his gorgeous dark eyes was staring right at her.
My God.... had he finally noticed her?
"Meiran!" Catherine could hardly contain her voice any longer. "She looked so different from you.."
"Who?" Oh yes. Meiran decided that she could drown in that pool of beautiful black eyes anytime.
"YOUR HALF SISTER!!!" Catherine finally lost her patience and screamed, totally forgot that she was in the middle of the class. Totally ignored the fact the teacher was talking at that point.
The time seemed to freeze as silence fell in the classroom after the outburst. The teacher, who thankfully happened to be the nicest teacher, Sally Po, only stared at the blushing Catherine.
"Half sister?" Meiran finally snapped herself out of her ogling and be the first one who broke the silence. Turning toward her best friend, she frowned. "Half sister?"
Catherine threw her head back in defeat before she placed her hands on Meiran's cheek and forced her head to turn to the direction of the new student who was standing in front of the classroom.
Their eyes connected and Meiran almost fell off her chair.
The new student only grinned. Her violet eyes twinkled in mischief as she waved at her. Her long slender arms moved gracefully in the air while her long wavy hair cascaded down her black sailor uniform like a waterfall in the Spring.
Meiran stood up from her desk. She pointed at the new student with her trembling finger. Words lost in the back of her throat as she had trouble to form any syllables. She had totally forgot that she needed to maintain her lady-like manner in front of the boy of her dreams, so instead, she burst out the first word that came into her mind.
"DUO!!???"
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"EXPLAIN!!!" Meiran tapped her foot impatiently as she looked down on the new student. She had endured the whole morning of not being able to talk to her "half sister". Now she finally found the chance to get things straight during lunchtime. She had practically dragged the new student to this remote spot in the school garden. They needed to talk.
Oh yeah. They needed to talk, A LOT in fact.
The new student was not intimidated by Meiran's stern tone though. Instead, she shrugged carelessly. She stretched her arms out before she laid down on the grass, her two arms folded behind her head. Her long chestnut hair spilled all over the grass near her. She closed her eyes, ignoring the shouting Meiran.
"Why aren't you in California and why the hell are you in that.."
"Shh!" Stilling having her eyes closed, the new student grinned. "Don't blow my cover."
"COVER?" Meiran was notoriously bad tempered and besides, she knew there would not be anyone here anyway. The garden was way out of the way of cafeteria. Hardly anyone would sacrifice his or her precious 1-hour lunch break to come here to see a barren garden in the winter. "DUO!!! Why the hell are you dressed up like a girl!!!"
"It was your damn letter." Duo Maxwell cracked open his eyes and Meiran could see the seriousness in his violet eyes.
Meiran was confused. "letter?"
Duo sat up swiftly. "Something about you having this serious crush on this guy?" Duo questioned stiffly.
Meiran blushed. She shifted her hands nervously. "So What about it?"
"Well.. I don't think you are quite old enough to date yet."
"You are not serious, are you?" Meiran widened her eyes, recognizing that protective look.
It had always been like that. Ever since their parents passed away in a car accident 6 years ago, Duo acted like her guardian. He had taken her up as his responsibility even though they were only half siblings. His protectiveness became evident to their relatives when Duo had saved her from a pervert middle aged man who tried to lure her 3 years ago on a dark street. Even though he was only 14 years old, Duo had knocked down the man on the ground with one strike. After he proceeded to kick the fallen man in the ribs several times, the raged teenager then straddled the bruised man securely under him and punched him mercilessly.
Duo was so mad that he had almost killed the man.
The incident led to their separation because the relatives decided that it was too much for Duo. They had to split them up. Therefore, Meiran was sent to a boarding school in Boston while Duo was in San Francisco. They would meet each other during the winters and summers. During the school years, they would always write letters or phone each other occasionally. Meiran had always told her beloved half brother everything. And unfortunately, she had mentioned her crush but thankfully not the name.
"You are only 16, you are not old enough to date yet." Duo emphasized.
Meiran stared back at Duo defiantly. She loved her brother dearly and most of time, he could be the coolest, funniest, wittiest person to be around. But sometimes..Meiran sighed. He could be such a pain in the neck. "Duo, I am 16! People date at 13 and besides, he didn't even know I exist!"
Duo snorted at Meiran, totally disregarding her. "Whatever, I just don't feel safe. I am gonna stick around and see what you are up to."
Meiran shrugged. Did she forget Duo's stubbornness? And the need to be right all the time? How could she ever beat her brother! "Fine, fine. So why are you dressed up like a girl anyway?" She eyed at Duo curiously. Surprisingly, Duo looked good, even feminine. Well.. If he could just put his legs a bit closer and wipe off that smirk on his face, he could definitely pass for a girl. And a beautiful one!
Duo shrugged. "I had to. When I hacked into the school system for registration, there were no more spots for guys. All the rooms were filled except a girl's room." Duo winked. "You don't think this little obstacle is gonna deter me from looking after my sister, do you?"
Meiran buried her face in her hand. There was no way she was going to survive her last year in high school. She sighed in defeat. "So.. who's your roommate then?"
"Er.." Duo looked up in the blue sky and scratched his head. "Lina?,,, no.. Relena" Duo nodded. "Yup, Relena. Relena Peacecraft."
"RELENA?" Meiran could not believe it. Of all people he could room with, he had to room with HER.
"What." Duo looked up at her with curiosity. "She cute?"
Meiran gave Duo the evil smile. "Oh yeah.. She is definitely cute.." Meiran swore she could hear a celebrating music in the back of her head. Relena Peacecraft. Who would have thought she would become her life savior?
Meiran laughed, unable to control herself any further. Maybe she would survive her senior year in peace after all.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Haaa.. Chu!!" Duo wrinkled his nose annoyingly. He should have brought more clothes. The sailor uniform, which thank god was mostly black instead of some horrible pink color like he had seen in some other school, was a bit thinner than he had previously thought. He had forgotten that East coast was a lot colder than west coast. But then, he needed to do a lot of shopping anyway. He had a whole wardrobe to fill. Maybe this weekend he would go find some more sweaters and long coat.
Duo looked around in the schoolyard. "Shit." He cursed underneath his breath. He had lost track of Meiran and now lost in this damn schoolyard. After the last class's bell rang, Meiran had been the first person to run out of the room and Duo could only guess where she was going.
To the gym as she wrote on the letter mostly likely. To watch that GUY practicing basketball.
Basketball eh? He could kick that guy's ass anytime.
"Er.. excuse me?" Duo caught a male student passing by for he had given up looking for the gym. The school was just too damn big. "Could you tell me where do the basketball team practice?" He gathered his best smile while trying hard not to let his smirk shown.
Oh, he didn't forget to bat his eyelashes just enough.
The student fell under his spell as expected. Duo chuckled inwardly. Maybe he could get used to this after all.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"You are telling me that he is your brother?" Catherine widened her eyes.
"Shhhh..don't say too loud. I don't want to be embarrassed!" Meiran hushed as she dragged her friend toward the gym. She was late. The basketball team all ready started to practice.
"My gosh... she.. I mean, he looked so feminine! And His hair! I have never seen anything like that on a girl.. never mind a guy!"
"Yeah. He had not cut his hair since. since my parents passed away..." Meiran said softly.
"Why?" Catherine looked at her friend sympathetically. She still had both her parents. She could not pretend to understand how Meiran felt but she tried her best to be supportive and sympathetic.
"Well... he thought it was his fault." Meiran stopped her track. She lowered her eyes a bit as pain flashed across her usually cheerful face. "The night they died, they were rushing home for his birthday."
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Relena Peacecraft scowled as lady-like as she could. After all, she was always the center of everyone's attention and she could not afford to lose her gracefulness. And then, as the leader of the fan group, she could not just let this slide by. All the followers were now watching her to see exactly how she was going to deal with this no-name girl who walked boldly into the gym and stood only few feet away from the basketball court.
The girl had to be new. Didn't she know that in order to ogle after the gorgeous guys of the basketball team, she had to get a stamp of approval from her? There is a long waiting list for each of the basketball team player. One just could not openly ogle after the guy out of line. One needed to make sure there was no other girl who had any priority over her before she could approach the guy.
This was unacceptable. Relena decided. She gave her followers a reassuring look before she flicked her hairs behind shoulder and started to approach the ignorant new girl.
A nagging feeling rise in her higher and higher for each step she took. Relena tried her best to dismiss the feeling but the closer she studied the girl, the feeling became stronger to the point she could not deny it anymore.
It was jealousy because the new girl was just too beautiful. Her soft facial look and slender body synchronized in a perfection that Relena had only seen on her beauty magazines.
Suddenly Relena stopped midway as she watched in disbelief the man of her dream approached the new girl. "Heero..." Relena covered her mouth slightly. She watched the new girl chatting naturally, unfazed by the infamous stern look of Heero Yuy, the captain of the basketball team.
Relena was fuming. This she would not forgive. How dare she even look at Heero Yuy's direction. All the girls in the school knew that Heero was hers and only hers. No one was allowed to approach him and now this girl came and broke that unspoken rule.
Just Relena was going to pick up her track, she was surprised by the new girl yet again as she stood at her spot dumbfound.
Somehow after the new girl's chattering, she flashed a grin and reached for Heero's wrist swiftly, taking off his wristband by surprise. She then used the wristband to tie her wavy chestnut hair into a ponytail and then picked up a basketball from the ground near her.
Relena widened her eyes, watching the girl let the basketball spin on her finger while she took off her skirt with the other hand, revealing a gym short underneath.
Relena could not believe it. No guys taunt Heero Yuy like that and expect to win, let along a girl.
She must be crazy.
