That morning had started out like any other morning. I woke up, got dressed, and went downstairs, collected the mail, read the morning paper and had a cup of coffee. Little did I know, this morning was going to be more than that.
After I had gotten dressed, I headed out to my driveway to retrieve the paper and collect the mail. As I made my way back into my house, I absentmindedly checked all my mail. Bill, bill, bill, advertisement, bill, advertisement… nothing new there. Then, as I was walking into the kitchen to make my morning coffee, I noticed another letter, which had "To Ms. Lacus Clyne" written on the front in large cursive letters. Curious, I sat down at the table, slowly opening the envelope, my coffee currently forgotten. I took out the short letter and began to read aloud to myself.
"Dear Ms. Clyne:
This is an invitation to a high school reunion, set in Walkersville on August 19th. We sincerely hope you can make it, and look forward to seeing you again. Below is the address.
Sincerely,
Cagalli Yula Attha"
After I had finished reading, I smiled a bit. A high school reunion! That would definitely be worth attending! I glanced at the calendar on the wall. It was August 18th, which meant that the reunion was tomorrow. Walkersville was about an hours drive from here, and I was really exited to see some of my old friends again.
I'll admit, I wasn't the most popular person in high school, but I was perfectly happy with the friends I had, namely Athrun Zala, Cagalli Yula Attha, and Miriallia Haww. Back then, I had always dreamed of becoming a singer, and had strived to reach that goal. Although, I never did become a singer, I would say that I lead a pretty successful life. I had a good job as business woman, owned a large, two-story house, and had a beautiful car. I definitely wasn't rich, but I liked my life the way it was.
I decided to go to the reunion, placed the invitation on the countertop, and realized that my coffee was ready. As I was drinking my mornings supply of caffeine, a thought slipped into my head. What if he was going to be at that reunion? Just thinking about it filled me with nervousness and doubt, which made me reconsider my decision.
He was Kira Yamato, and I guess you could call him my first love. Ok, so you could definitely call him my first love. Whenever I saw him, I would get a lump in my throat and me knees would go weak. As corny as that sounds, it was true. I was head over heels in love with Kira Yamato. Ever since I had met him in kindergarten, I had always thought that we would end up married and live in a big house together with lots of children and live happily ever after. But real life isn't like that. We had been friends, yes, but not particularly close ones, and I doubt that he even remembered that I existed. I hadn't heard from him since our high school graduation, which was six years ago.
Besides, he was already in love with someone else. Her name was Fllay Allster, and she had always hated me. As soon as we had met, she had gone out of her way to make my life miserable and to make sure that she was one step ahead of me in everything. She knew that Kira had been in love with her, and she had never really paid any attention to him. That is, until she found out that I was in love with him. After that, she had started going out with him, and it broke my heart whenever I saw them together.
After that, I had cried myself to sleep for weeks, and even in my dreams he rejected me. All my friends had told me that he wasn't worth it, and that I should try to get on with my life. But I couldn't help it. I couldn't help the fact that I was in love with Kira Yamato.
Well, after our high school graduation, I had never seen Kira again, and most of those feelings had dulled until they eventually disappeared. At least, that's what I thought. But now, at the thought of seeing him again, I was wondering if all those feelings would come back. I sighed, and drummed my fingers absentmindedly on the tabletop, deep in thought. Eventually, I decided that I wouldn't pass up the chance of meeting all my old friends again, just because I was afraid of Kira Yamato. I was going to that Reunion, whether Kira was there or not!
A/N: Well, that's Chapter one. It turned out a lot different than I had expected… Anyways, was it good? Was it bad? Does it deserve to be dropped off of a cliff, set on fire and then trampled on by monkeys? I need to know whether or not I hould continue, so please review!
