CHAPTER I – IT'S ABOUT HIM

(Italicized text is Cagalli's thoughts)

"I'm Cagalli Yula Attha… absolutely bored and jadedI am stuck at some party where my brother and sister-in-law were invited. You've read that right! What do I mean bystuck? I came with them and have no other means of going home. It's not that I don't enjoy parties or that I'm not used to thiskind of things. I was not the adopted daughter of the Orb Corporation Chairman for nothing. Of course, I was used to these things. But it was definitely wrong timing. Didn't these two people take in consideration that I was tired and I needed rest!? These two are hopeless. "

It was exactly seven-thirty in the evening, more and more people were entering the ballroom of one of the most prestigious hotel in December City. A chandelier provided the whole room with enough light. Tables were pushed to the sides that left the middle of the room, open.

Though everything seemed so beautiful and majestic that night, Cagalli can't enjoy herself. She was sleepy. As more seconds passed by, she somewhat felt that her eyes were getting heavier. The whispers and the murmurs of the guests, sounded like a lullaby to her. But what shame would it be to fall asleep in the middle of all these people.

"I just came arrived in December City, hours ago. I thought it was a good idea to spend sometime here. I really need the time to rest… to be able to escape all the hassle of being the daughter of Uzumi Nara Attha. I need the time to think about thing. What things?Things that you don't need to know.. okay? Iwas hoping I could have a peaceful stay here with my birth family: my mother and older brother, Via and Kira Hibiki. When I thought all would turn out right… I was wrong.Only a few minutes after putting my bag in the room, I was dragged by my overly active sister-in-law."

Cagalli was seated with Kira, Lacus and two other people she didn't know. She wanted some peace and quiet but she needed to talk to someone. Cagalli felt that if she wouldn't divert her attention to something, she would fall asleep. She looked over her brother and his wife. But a flower arrangement was blocking her sight. She tilted her head to the right, trying to get a better look. When she saw what the two was doing, she really wished that she didn't look at all.

"I was right. These two are hopeless… really hopeless. How can they kiss in front of all these people? This crazy hormone driven couple should think before they do something Good thing there are no kids here."

"Kira?" She called out.

It was no use. The couple she called was absorbed in their own world. She tried to get their attention again. But it was still the same reaction, they did not hear her.

"Unbelievable!" Cagalli whispered to herself.

She looked at the still kissing couple. It was no use to call them again. She glared at her sister in-law. After all, she was the reason why she came here.

"I was taken off guard. I was walking down the stairs when she grabbed me I tried everything I could… I screamed and attacked her I wanted to decline but she cried on me. How can I say no? And what did Kira do? Nothing! Lacus told me that it would be boring if I wasn't going. And what's happening now? I am just being ignored. Liars! I wanted to scream out but that wouldn't be so good. The next thing I knew, I was dressed and was ready to go. It's not that I am complaining, okay? The dress was good. What can you expect from the famous designer, Lacus ClyneI was wearing a halter dress. It was simple yet beautiful. I loved how the soft cotton flows and the elegance of royal blue. But I don't care! All I want to do is lay down my bed and sleep. "

Cagalli glanced at the people around them, almost all the seats were occupied already. Earlier people were mingling at the center of the ballroom but now they were seated in their respective seats. This signalled that the program was going to start soon.

A lot had been said but what really was this party for? A celebration? Yes, it was. But for what or more likely for whom?

Cagalli was busy playing with the white table cloth when the doors, opened. A man, no doubt in his late twenties, walked at center of the ballroom. He looked so dashing in his all black tuxedo. His midnight blue hair and emerald eyes was definitely eye catching. All heads were turned on him as he made his way to the stage in front.

"Unbelievable! Uggh… I am so hopeless All this thinking is making me more tired. This story is not even about me. It is about him, ATHRUN ZALA."
