"Well, are you going to respond to Quatre's email?" Heero asked, poking me back to the present. I tend to lose myself in thoughts at times.

"Yes, it's only polite." I said, trying to still my beating heart. For some reason, thinking of Quatre now made my heart race. Chalk one up for Duo and his mind tricks…

"Trowa…ya there buddy?" Duo asked, waving his hand in front of my face.

"Yeah, I'm here, I'll be typing now."

"Quatre, To answer your questions, yes, I do go to a normal high school. If normal is what you'd call it. Our staff is a bunch of jerks, they really don't care about the students. Except for my homeroom teacher, Mr. Daniel. He's the only one that really gives a shit about the students. The staff are idiots. The students run amok. Not usually a pretty place. But that's what you get for your "inner-city" school. My friends and I actually have it pretty well off. All our families own their own places. Wufei and Duo, two brothers, live in a pretty big house on the good side of town. Wufei's dad is some big important guy in the DOGZ music company. Actually, he founded it. So, Wu is a pretty rich guy. Very cultured as well. Duo, his adopted brother, had it pretty bad for a little while, and the Chang family took him in. He's a very cheerful and happy person, despite what he's been through. I admire him. Heero's my best friend. He and I are like kindred spirits, we can relate to each other really well. I live in an apartment on the Upper East Side, with my older sister, Catherine. She took me in when I was younger. Hmm…clubs… well, I'm in the Diplomacy club. In case you don't know, Diplomacy is a game that takes place in 1901, and you're a country in Europe. You basically get to take over the world. Right now, I'm Britain, and we're sorta losing at the moment, but don't worry, we'll get right on our feet in no time. And I'm really interested in your song. I'm sure it's beautiful, what's it called? What kind of person are you, Quatre? What kinds of things do you like? Do you want to get together for a coffee? Or go to the comic book shop? (That place is great! You can get Japanese comics there, along with their Anime counterparts!) That's another thing that I'm interested in. Japanese Animation. It's very… fanciful. The stories captivate me and make me use my imagination. But that's enough about me for right now. Hopefully, I'll be able to meet you again, soon. As ever, Trowa"

"Trowa. Are you starting to like this Quatre?" Wufei asked, reading over my shoulder. His dark eyes were filled with concern. "You might get hurt if he or she is already involved with someone."

"Yeah, Trowa. We don't want you to get hurt." Duo said softly, locking his cobalt blue eyes with my emerald greens (at least that's what I've been told). "You've been hurt enough. Just like Heero."

OK, this was getting way to touchy-feely for me… WAY too touchy-feely. "Yeah, and we all know how you made Heero all better." I said, grinning. Duo was always fun to mess with.

This made Heero and Duo blush. Hell, even Wufei blushed! Then there were immense amounts of psychotic laughter. From Wufei. This took all of us by surprise. Really.

"I'm thankful for your concern about me, but really there is nothing to be concerned about. I'm fine."

We basically just messed around for the rest of the night. We played Risk, and a few video games (at Duo's insistence). Things were fun, with even Heero getting into the swing of things. Come to think of it, I don't think that we got Duo's project done.
