"Trowa! Wake up! It’s time for school!" Catherine shouted as she shook Trowa’s body. Trowa did not even budge. Catherine sighed and grabbed a bucket and dumped in on Trowa.
"Ah! Cold! Flood! Ah!" Trowa yelled as he waved his arm. Catherine gave Trowa a knucklesandwich.
"Get a grip! You’re going to be late!"
"Wufei!"
"Hi, Catherine. Hi, Trowa," Wufei smiled weakly and started to walk away. Catherine nudged at Trowa and frowned at him. Trowa sighed. //I should apologize about yesterday//
"Hey, Wufei!"
"Hm?" Wufei turned around. Trowa bit his lips.
"I’m…"
"Trowa! You are right on time! Come on, let’s go to class," Quatre grabbed Trowa’s arm and ran off. Wufei watched Trowa being dragged away and started to walk away. Catherine felt his pain. She hesitated for a moment, then called his name.
"Wufei!" Wufei turned around without any statement causing Catherine to sweatdrop. "Wufei, I, er…"
"What is it?" Wufei asked impatiently. Catherine bit her lip and turned around. Wufei sighed. "Look, I’m sorry, Cassie. There’s a lot in my mind and…"
"It’s okay, Wufei. I’m okay, really," Catherine cut in. She smiled at Wufei. "I just wanted to thank you."
"For what?" Wufei asked. Catherine blinked. //For what? For being alive I guess//
"Just everything," Catherine said as they entered the schoolground.
"Why, Catherine? You are the one that always cheers me up?" Wufei asked. Catherine giggled a bit. //How can I tell him that I’m thanking him for being alive so I could always drool at him?//
"You’ll understand someday." They walked down the hall silently. When they were almost at the classroom, Wufei broke the silence.
"Yesterday, when you were drunk, who were you kissing?" Catherine stopped at her track and stared at Wufei.
"What?"
"Yesterday, you were kissing someone in your dream. But in reality, you kissed me – so who were you kissing in your dream?" Wufei blushed. Catherine felt her cheek redden. //Oh shit! Oh shit! What do I say? What do I say?// Catherine started to sweat. //I can’t tell him that I was kissing him in my dream… Then he’ll find out that I like him!// And if he does find out, it would never be the same.
"I… I… That’s a secret!" Catherine sputtered. //Wait, I don’t want to hurt his feeling// "You never told me that you liked Trowa – I had to guess. So it’s time for you to guess!" Catherine stuck her tongue out. //There! It’s going to be all right!// Wufei chuckled a bit and sighed.
"Well, whoever you were kissing in your dream, you were kissing him very passionately," Wufei spoke quietly and then went to his seat. Catherine stared at his back and continued to blush.
"Like I said, if you were to study Calculus…" Trowa yawned. //This is so boring!// He turned his bang side toward the teacher and closed his eyes. //He won’t notice//

Trowa looked at the school. Heero had disappeared. No one knew where he was. Duo probably knew but he never told Trowa. Trowa closed his eyes.
Flashback:
"Trowa?"
"Hm?"
"Why do you like Heero?"
"…"
"Will you go to school?"
"Why bother, Duo?"
"If you go to school, you gain knowledge. It’ll help you in many ways. So why don’t you try to go to school?"
"Okay…"
End Flashback.
Trowa opened his eyes. He promised Duo that he’d study. //When I get smarter, I’ll go find Heero//
It was time for first period. The teacher came in late with a boy. Trowa did not pay attention. He was busy looking at the script. The teacher cleared her throat.
"Everyone, say hello to Daniel. He’s our new classmate."
"How do you do."
"Daniel, go sit next to Trowa," the teacher ordered. Trowa looked up. //Masaka…// Trowa watched Daniel sit next to him.
"Heero…?" Trowa whispered. Daniel smiled at Trowa.
"Hi, I’m Daniel. Nice to meet you." Trowa gaped at him. "Is there, a problem?" Daniel asked. Trowa blinked and apologized.
"I’m sorry… I thought you were someone else." Daniel laughed.
"I get that a lot."
