This is a typical high school story. Well, I'm already old so it's kinda difficult to make one, but I'll try. Sorry for the spelling of the character names… I spell them as they sound.
So, the characters for this story are …
Kira- the football team captain (Obviously he's a hottie- like girls "drool" over him)
Athrun- the apathetic, I-don't-need-the-world guy
Shinn- Mr. Nice Guy… that's it- he's a geek
Dearka- the teacher's 'pet'
Yzak- the rich guy…
Murrue- the sexy instructor
Mu – the class adviser
Meyrin- the bulimic social climber
Lacus- the 'paranoid android'
Lunamaria- Shinn's cousin (sorry for the fans out there)- a 'schemer'
Miriallia- the teenage 'fairy-godmother'
Flay- the gender-confused student (that's it)
Cagalli (almost forgot about her)- The 'ugly- duckling'- school paper editor
Stellar- the popular "bitch"- Kira's ex-girlfriend
Day one: Save the Trash
It's the first day of school (how common can that be). Everyone (except the 'losers') is excited to be with their friends… boyfriends, girlfriends, the good and not-so-good friends… whatever.
So, the story focuses on the Junior Year (to some countries, the 3rd or fourth year… whatever again) section B of some high school in the GS galaxy.
The room is damn noisy. Very noisy. The girls were chit chatting about their 'summer fling' or 'escapades'- whatever that maybe, and of course the guys were doing the same thing.
Lunamaria's voice stands out among the rest of the girls.
"I had two boyfriends last summer… well I broke up with them as soon as I met the hockey player."
"Oh… my… I didn't have any this summer," one of her girlfriends said. Pretty obvious, she's envious of Luna.
"How about you Meyrin… did you have any?"
Meyrin, who was trying hard just to fit into Lunamaria's group lied.
"Yeah," she said. Her face was beginning to be sweaty.
"In fact… Kira- called me and we had a date- yeah!"
"What! You mean Kira Yamato? Oh my…" says one.
"I can't believe it- I mean- does he know you exist?" Lunamaria said sarcastically.
How could you be so dumb Meyrin- he doesn't even know you- Meyrin's conscience was shouting.
But I can't turn back now- she thought. She raised her head and gave them an overconfident look."As a matter of fact, we're having lunch together" (Oh god save me…)
"We'll believe if that ever happens," Luna dared.
On the other side of the room, one of the ordinary students was busy- reading the schedule for the day's classes. Of course, he's none other than the 'good boy'- Shinn.
On his table were two pieces of sandwiches, carefully placed on the lunchbox, and a bottle of fresh milk. He has peptic ulcer- so he needs to fill his stomach whenever gastric juices start to give him pain. His eyeglasses were not that oversized- but they're BIG and THICK.
He was told earlier that he's going to have a new 'seatmate' for this school season.
Last year, it was Yzak- the richest guy in school. Paid him a thousand to do his homework.
This year, a new student in class will be sitting next to him. Her name was
Lacus Clyne. They said she looked pretty, but that's it. When she talks- you'll forget how about her looks. He couldn't quite understand what that means.
Funny how "gossip precedes the person."
At the back of his seat, was the Ms Congeniality's throne- Miriallia Howe.
She was the nicest girl in the galaxy. If someone said that she hates Mir- then that person is the devil.
"Good morning Shinn!" Mir greeted him as she sits on her place.
"Good morning too…" He gave her his awkward smile. Too much teeth- her cousin said. In school, Lunamaria doesn't even talk to Shinn, that's why few people know that they're cousins.
Dearka entered the classroom and went to the guys' corner- where Yzak, Auel, and Sting were settling.
"Man, look what I've got…" He picked out something from his pocket.
-The photograph of Ms. Murrue on her lingerie.
"Where did you get that one?" Auel grabbed the photo from him.
"Strategies- I'm good at those."
"Cut the crap, how did you get this?" Yzak said. " I couldn't even get into her with my latest camera…"
"Well pretended that I was sick, and I had to sleep over her place…"
"Once she finds out about that, you're history," a voice came from behind. It was Flay that spoke.
"You are not going to tell her anything," Dearka warned.
"Maybe… I couldn't possibly promise… you know my mouth," Flay replied.
She is also sitting on the 'guys' corner'. Once seated, she immediately removed her black shoe and changed her footwear. Seconds later she was already wearing rubber shoes.
"Man, you look awful," Dearka commented.
"Don't give a damn with me… think about yourself and that photo," Flay sneered.
"C'mon Flay, I really think you look better with ladies' shoes."
"I'm not wearing it- so buzz off…"
"Hey hey… the new girl has arrived," Yzak said upon noticing Lacus Clyne as she enters the room.
Everyone stopped talking to look at her. Some…well- scrutinize, some give a friendly smile, the boys had their flashcards under the tables… giving her a rating of 8 or 9 after looking at …you know…
"Are you Shinn Asuka?" Lacus asked.
Shinn's eyes grew big.
She's so pretty…"He was speechless, ask him to come back to earth!" Dearka jeered.
Shinn blinked twice then nodded.
Lacus sat beside him.
"Nice meeting you…" She held out her hand. He was afraid to touch her, but he soon did. Shake hands…
The familiar student entered the room after Lacus. Nobody noticed… nobody cared.
And… the feeling is mutual.
He went to his seat near the window, put his headset on and 'slept'.
He was Athrun.
They say it's better to make friends with Shinn or with the ants and cockroaches- than spend the day with Athrun Zala. No gossip about him, because no one ever knew about his personal stuff -that isolated.
Then, another one entered the room. She almost slipped as she hurriedly entered the classroom. It's the first day of class, and everyone's carrying nothing, except themselves. But she's different. A big backpack, and some complied papers and portfolios on her two arms.
It's the first day of the year for Ms. Editor-in chief.
Shinn stood and went forward to help Ms Cagalli Yula Attha with her 'luggage'.
She was his mentor- for his creative writing lessons.
"Are you okay… ma'am?" He asked as she drops everything on her desk. She was catching her breath.
"I…I thought I was late. Forgot to activate the alarm…"
"Actually, you're just in time Miss Attha," a familiar voice has spoken. Everyone hurried to their seats. The conversations, and nonsense ceased.
It was the class adviser, Mr. Mu la Flaga in front of the class.
"Good day. It's been a wonderful summer, and I hope you had a blast." He gave them his 'signature smile'. Mir blushed (for obvious reasons…)
"We have new students for this year. Would you please stand up, Miss Lacus Clyne?" Lacus stood and bowed to everyone.
"Hello, I'm Lacus Clyne…"
"Hi I'm Dearka…"
Some whistled. The girls (especially Luna's group) weren't paying attention.
Shinn's eyes were glittering.
I want to write a poem about her…
But just as he picked up his pen to do so… the words were empty.
He looked painfully at Cagalli.
"Oh no, not again," Cagalli whispered.
"And, we have another student. Actually, he isn't 'new' but he's transferring from another section to ours. Come in…" Teacher Mu signaled.
The door opened. He confidently entered.
"Oh…my…god!" Lunamaria gasped.
The girls were beginning to give out that familiar giggle. Their 'prey' was here…
The guys- weren't that enthusiastic.
Luna was in heaven.
Meyrin was in hell.
Athrun was still asleep.
Shinn was looking at his seatmate.
Lacus was looking at her hands.
Flay was looking at- the same view as Shinn's.
Cagalli eyebrows rose.
Kira Yamato, the gorgeous team captain of the football team was now a member of the section B crowd.
"There aren't any vacant seats except that one beside Miss Athha. You can sit there," Mu said to Kira.
"No…No, no." Cagalli said. Her reaction to his presence was so violent.
"You have no choice… I will sit here," Kira smiled at her- not so sweetly.
" This is such a bad day," Cagalli mumbled.
"Bad year for you…" Kira said without looking.
Teacher Mu called out each of the students' name for the attendance.
"Allster"
"Present."
"Asuka."
"Present sir."
"Attha…"
"Present."
And so on.
"Louisier?"
"Louisier, Stellar?"
"She's absent," Kira said.
"First day of school," Mu repied.
"She hasn't returned from space," Kira explained.
And the names go on.
"Yam… Of course you're here…" Mu whispered.
"Zala…"
"Zala?"
He was still asleep- facing the window.
Mu went to him and removed his earplugs.
"Care to come back from space Athrun Zala?" he said.
He gave him a dull, unsatisfied, apathetic look.
"Just landed," he said.
So this ends the first chapter. I'm quite struggling with it, but I think it will push through… thanks for reading…
