When Opposites Attract
Part 11
"It's not summer anymore." Duo said. He frowned. Hilde sighed.
"Duo." she said. He turned to her.
"Yes?" he said.
"Get over it." she responded. "It's not summer. So what. It will come back and by that time, we'll be graduates." Duo smiled.
"That's something I'm looking forward to." he said. It was fall, and the beginning of the school year. Duo, Hilde, and Relena sat in social studies class. Relena's gaze was at the window. When she had gotten back from the boating trip with Heero, Trowa avoided her as much as he could.
He wouldn't talk to her, he wouldn't look at her, nothing. Relena had thought it would be best if she had
just left him alone. Was he still mad?, she wondered. If he was, she wanted to apologize. But it seemed he wouldn't let her.
"What's a good way to raise money for the college?" The teacher asked the class. Most of the students didn't raise their hands. Miss. Becker looked towards Relena.
"Miss. Peacecraft, do you have an idea?" she asked. Relena blinked and looked at the teacher. She didn't know what to say.
"Umm...what about a...fesitval?" she said. The whole class turned towards Relena, intrested in what she had to say.
"Go on." Miss. Becker said interested also.
"It could be a fall festival. We could have it somewhere on campus. Some people could organize, and sell
tickets." Relena said. Small conversations were heard throughout the class as Miss. Becker considered.
"We'll do it." she said. "Relena, would you mind being the head organizer?"
"No ma'am." Relena said. "What have I gotten myself into?" she thought.
"Nice idea Ojousan." Duo said.
"Where did you come up with the idea?" Hilde asked. Relena frowned.
"I don't know. I just blabbered something out." she responded.
"Sounds like something Duo would do." Hilde said.
"Hey." Duo said. Hilde ignored him and turned her attention back to Relena.
"Lena we could help you." she said. Relena smiled.
"Thank you." she said.
Word had spread quickly around campus about the upcoming event. Trowa looked at the piece of paper he had gotten in social studies. Miss. Becker had 'talked' him into helping with the whole festival.
It was suppose to be held on the south side of campus.
He made his way there. When he had arrived, things were already being hung up on trees. Rows of stands were being put up and several students were walking around with suppiles and decorations.
"Trowa!" Trowa turned around to see Hilde walking towards him. She smiled. "What are you doing here?"
"Miss. Becker talked me into coming here." he responded. "Do you know where the head organizer is?" Hilde nodded.
"Follow me." she said. She led him to another girl, her honey brown her in a tight bun. "Relena." Relena turned around to see Hilde and...
Trowa followed Hilde as she led him through crowds of students. Finally she stopped in front of a blond girl that looked all too familiar. That's when Hilde said her name.
Trowa and Relena looked at each other for a moment before looking away. Hilde noticed and began to talk.
"Relena, Trowa's here to help organize with the festival." she said. Relena nodded.
"Well, why don't you take him to help you with the stands and roof decorations." Relena said. Hilde nodded and she and Trowa walked off. Relena watched as the two disappeared into the crowd. She sighed and got back to work.
"Hilde!" Duo wailed as he ran...or tried to run towards her. His body was wrapped around in paper streamers. He struggled to get out but tripped and fell. He groaned.
"Hilde help me." he said. "I can't get this off." Hilde sighed and began to help Duo get free. She and Trowa had headed towards the roof after helping put up the stands. Trowa's gaze drifted below at the many students. But his eyes were transfixed on a certain person.
He watched as Relena moved quickly to one student after the other helping them with the decorations. During that time she had been gone, he couldn't help but miss her. She was a good friend.
"More than a good friend at times." he thought. He was pulled out of his thoughts when someone approached Relena. Heero. Relena turned around smiled at him and the two began a conversation.
Trowa's eyes narrowed, why was she talking to him?
"Am I jealous?" he asked himself. "No...I couldn't be jealous."
He shook the thoughts away and looked up to see Hilde looking at him. She walked towards him and looked below. Her gaze went to Heero and Relena. She turned to Trowa.
"You know." She began. "Relena did miss you while she was away." Trowa looked at Hilde, surprise clear on his face but he recovered and his face went blank again but not before Hilde could see it. She smiled.
"Your a real good friend of hers Trowa. Why don't you talk to her?" Hilde said. Trowa looked down at Relena and back up at Hilde.
"Because I was holding her back." he responded.
"What do you mean?" Hilde asked.
"I didn't want her to go, I wanted her to stay here." Trowa said. Hilde was about to say something when another student called to her. She looked at Trowa once more before walking off.
"Relena, all the decorations and stands have been put up and the tickets have been sold." said Hilde. "We've made over 2,000 dollars." Relena smiled.
"Good, the festival is tomorrow and it looks like it's going to be a big hit." Relena said. She gathered her
stuff and placed them in her backpack. "I better get going."
"Bye Lena." Hilde said.
"Bye." Relena said. She opened the door and left Hilde's house. She began walking back to her apartment.
She pulled something out of her pocket and studied it. Her mask. She had noticed that she took it everywhere with her now. Just to be reminded.
Relena walked into her apartment and placed her backpack down making her way to her room. She plopped down on her bed still holding the mask in her hand.
"Trowa." she thought.
"Duo where did you get that money?" Hilde asked looking at Duo's hands.
"From my savings." he responded.
"Duo, I checked your savings last week, you only had six dollars." Hilde said.
"So what are you saying?" Duo asked, counting the money.
"I think that's my money." Hilde said. Duo gave her a shocked look.
"Hilde! Are you accusing me, Duo Maxwell, of stealing?" he asked.
"Yes." Hilde said.
"Could you two stop arguing." Sally said. The two stopped and looked away from each other.
"Didn't Relena want us to pick her up?" Catheirne asked.
"Yes, since her car is still in the shop. She wanted to go with us to the festival." Sally responded. Catherine stopped in front of Relena's apartment. Relena looked out the window.
"They're here." she thought. She grabbed her purse and coat and left her apartment. She walked out of the apartment and got into the car.
"There they are." Quatre said pointing to Catherine, Relena, Sally, Hilde and Duo.
"It's about time."Wufei mumbled.
"I heard that." Sally said to him. Hilde looked at the festival. Serveral students were already there. Some were at the stands selling souvenirs and others were there enjoying.
"Where shall we start?" Hilde asked looking around.
"At the food stand." Duo said. Hilde rolled her eyes. So it went, the group went from one stand to the next, winning prize after prize. Sally and Wufei had started a competition, which one would win more prizes. Sally won.
"You let yourself get beaten by a girl Wu-man." Duo said. Wufei glared at him.
"Don't call me that Maxwell."
"What? Wu-man?" Duo asked.
"Yes!" Wufei yelled. Everyone else ignored their argument.
"Where is Trowa?" Catherine asked. "He said he was coming."
"Maybe he's just running a little late." Sally offered. "Besides, Heero isn't here either."
"Yes I am." They all turned around to see Heero standing there. "Sorry, I'm late."
"So, where should be go next?" Catherine asked.
"Food stand!" Duo said. Everyone rolled their eyes and sighed.
"Fine, the food stand." Catherine mumbled. Duo smiled. They started to walk off but Heero grabbed Relena's hand. Relena looked at him.
"Can I talk to you in private?" he asked. Relena nodded. Heero, still holding her hand, led her out of the festival and to a different part of campus. That was one thing with this college, the campus was huge. The trees were tall and wide. It was like this place had it's own park.
During the fall, the trees were at their best. Red, orange and yellow. Numerous leaves fell from the high trees as Relena looked up. A slight wind picked up making the leaves look like they had life of their own. It was really beautiful. Trowa leaned against one of the many trees. He hadn't felt like going to the festival, but he had promised Catherine he would go.
He sighed and began to walk but stopped when he heard something. He turned around to see Heero and Relena walking down the path a few feet away from him. Curiousity, it had gotten the best of him and he began to follow them.
Heero finally stopped and Relena looked around. Somehow they had walked to the park.
"So what part of the park are we in?" she asked. Heero looked at her.
"Don't you recognize it?" he asked. Relena looked around again and then it hit her.
"This is...this is where we broke up." She said quietly. Heero nodded. The two were quiet for a moment and without warning Heero pulled Relena closer to him.
"Heero what are you..."
"I'm sorry." he said. Relena looked up at him.
"What for?" she asked. Heero was quiet for a moment then answered.
"For hurting you. I broke up with you for no reason at all. I made...you cry." He became hesitant but said.
"I love you."
Relena studied his eyes and knew he was telling the truth. Before Relena could say anything he leaned down and kissed her. Trowa's eyes widended then narrowed. Relena's eyes widended in surprise but she was even more surprised to realize she was kissing him back.
Heero pulled away from Relena. He looked at her before his lips curved into a smirk. Still holding her hand he led her back to the festival. Anger, and jealousy were the two things running through Trowa's head.
He began walking back to the parking lot. He wasn't going to the festival anymore.
Soon later the the day turned to night and everyone began to leave. Catherine had given Relena a ride home. While they had been at the festival, Heero had never let go of her hand. Relena stepped out of the car.
"Thanks Catherine." she said.
"Anytime Lena." Catherine responded. Relena watched as she drove off down the road. Relena was about to step into the apartment building when someone called her name. Relena turned around to see Trowa behind her. Relena was silent for a moment.
"You finally decided to talk to me?" she asked.
"You never said you loved him." Trowa said quietly. Relena knew who he was talking about.
"Trowa I didn't say I loved him." Relena said.
"Then why did you kiss him?" Trowa asked. Relena's eyes widended.
"You were spying on us?" she asked. "He kissed me first."
"But you kissed him back." he said. Trowa looked away for a moment.
"Do you love him?" he asked.
"What would you care?" Relena asked. "You haven't talked to me in days, why would care now?" Trowa walked closer to Relena and she could feel her heart pounding at each step he took closing the space between them. Trowa looked at her, Relena couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Because I'm jealous." he responded. "Ever since you left with Heero, ever since he kissed you, I've been jealous." Relena looked away from him.
"Then what are you trying to say?" she whispered. There was a long akward pause that made Relena even more anxious. She could tell he was looking at her and nowhere else. The he finally answered.
"Te amor." His voice was soft, quiet and...hesitant. It was Spanish, she had remembered her spanish teacher from last year had said a poem in Spanish. She had asked what "te amor" meant. That's when she realized what he had said.
Relena looked at him, too surprised to speak. He touched her cheek gently, and caressed it.
"Te amor." Trowa said again. Relena closed her eyes leaning into his hand. This felt so right, just thinking about Trowa, and just being with him felt right. Relena felt him wrap his arms around her waist and pull her closer. Relena opened her eyes to see he was less than inches away from her face.
"Te amor." he whispered. Then he slowly leaned down and kissed her.
Was it good? Please tell me what you thought about it. I hope that pleased some of the TxR fans. I know this is getting frustrating and you want to know who Relena chooses. So I'm telling you right now, in the next 2 chapters this story will be done. Also "Te amor." is Spanish for "I love you." Well, please r/r!
