Chapter 1
Back to School
Lacus, Cagalli, Shiho, and Miriallia were walking to school when they ran into Kira, Yzak, and Dearka. But they had a guy with beautiful Dark Blue hair and gorgeous eyes. All of the girls walked up to them and the girls gave their boyfriends a hug and kiss. Kira walked up to his sister and gave her a hug.
" Hey how are you feeling today?" Cagalli smiled at him.
" I'm feeling good. But I have one question?"
Kira nodded his head.
" Who is the new friend that you brought along?"
Kira turned to him and said, " Oh. That's Athrun. He's one of my closest friends." Cagalli looked over at him and repeated his name. Kira called his name.
" Hey come here."
Athrun nodded his head and walked over to them. Cagalli started to get tense. Athrun smiled at her.
" Hi, I'm Athrun." he held out his hand. She smiled at him and said, " Hi, I'm Cagalli."
She shook his hand and said, " So is this your first time in this school?" Athrun let go of her hand and said, " Yes it is. But I have no clue where to go."
Kira looked at him and said, " Well maybe Cagalli can help you around until you get the hang of it."
Athrun looked back at Cagalli and said, " Will you help me?" Cagalli looked at her brother and then back at Athrun.
" Um, yeah I guess." Athrun ran up to her and hugged her. Cagalli started to blush.
When Athrun let go of her she smiled at him. The whole gang stopped talking and then walked to school. As usual all the girls walked with their boyfriends and I walked behind them staring at the sky. Cagalli was so happy going back to school. Since her lock up she hasn't see the sky in awhile.
Athrun was talking to everyone when he looked back and saw Cagalli staring at the sky. He turned around and walked next to Cagalli. He tapped her shoulder and said, " Hey."
She looked at him and smiled. Athrun noticed that she was blushing a bit. Athrun started to laugh. Cagalli's smile went to a frown.
" What is so funny Athrun?"
" Oh, it's nothing. I just noticed how cute you look when you blush."
Cagalli put her hand to her cheek and blushed some more. Athrun laughed again. She stared at him and started to laugh. After their little laugh Athrun and Cagalli talked for the rest of the walk.
When they finally got to school Cagalli led Athrun to the office. They walked into the office and looked around for a moment. Cagalli found Mrs. Cales at the desk doing some paper work. Cagalli walked up to her and smiled.
" Hey, Mrs. Cales."
" Cagalli. How are you. I'm so happy that you're back. What can I do for you?"
" Well Athrun is new in town and he needs his schedule."
She nodded her head and unlocked the cabinet. She pulled out a folder and handed it to Athrun.
" Hear ya go honey. This is the papers and things you need to know. You schedule is in there too."
He nodded his head and grabbed the folder. Mrs. Cales smiled at him and then went back to her work. We both said good-bye to her and walked out of the office. As they were walking down the hall Athrun was staring at his schedule.
" I'm really confused. I have World Studies first but I have no clue where that is."
Cagalli grabbed his schedule and looked at it. She stared at it for a moment. She looked up at him and said, " You have World Studies with me."
" That's a relief. Where do I go next?"
Cagalli looked down at the schedule and said, " Um...you go to Math."
" Do I have that with you?"
Cagalli nodded her head no and said, " I have Science when you are in Math. But the flip side is that you're only down the hall from me."
Athrun laughed and did a sigh of relief. " How about we meet after 4th period to go to lunch. We can meet by the big gym."
Athrun nodded his head. The bell was about to ring so they both walked to World Studies together. Cagalli was asking Athrun all kinds of questions. Like what school he went to before or did he have any recent girlfriends.
He answered most of them besides the girlfriend part. Once they got to class all the girls looked at him. They all smiled and started whispering. Cagalli showed Athrun an empty seat and told him to sit there. Cagalli smiled at him and then walked to her seat. Athrun leaned back in his seat watching Cagalli walk to her seat.
When the teacher walked in he looked around and saw Athrun. " Excuse. You in the blue t-shirt. Please come here." Athrun looked up and saw the teacher staring at him.
When the teacher waved for him to come over he got up and walked over to his desk. The teacher smiled at him and said, " Are you Athrun Zala?" Athrun nodded his head.
" Well nice to meet you. I'm Mr. Townsend. You may take your seat again."
Athrun turned around and started walking back. When he was passing Cagalli she smiled and said, " Don't worry you'll be walking up to the teacher's desk since you are new."
Mr. Townsend walked up to Cagalli and said, " Well you should know by now the rules about this classroom Cagalli. That there is no talking after the bell rings. I see that you are back and in good hands. You should have learned your lesson in that awful place that you should be able to call home. So be quiet now."
Caglli's hand turned into a fist and nodded her head. She looked over at Kira. He stared at her and said, " Calm down." She loosed her hand and looked back at the teacher. Athrun leaned his elbow on the desk and looked at Cagalli.
He was really tempted to know what the teacher was talking about when he said Cagalli was in an awful place. When class started the teacher looked around the classroom for a moment and then said, " Everyone please take out your text books and read pages 190-210. If you do not finish it's homework. You also need to answer the questions on the last page."
Cagalli did alot of reading in lock up so she finished pretty quick. When she was done she took out her journal and started to write. Everyone finished early so the teacher let them talk for the rest of the time. Everyone got up and moved around to talk to their friends. Cagalli stayed where she was and kept writing.
Athrun stared at her while Kira was talking to him. Once Kira was finished with his sentence he looked over to see what Athrun was looking at. Kira smiled and said, " Why don't you just go over and talk to her."
Athrun looked at him and said, " Alright. Thanks." He grabbed his books and walked over to her. Cagalli looked up and saw his emerald eyes looking down at her. Cagalli blushed and looked away.
He sat next to her and said, " I thought you might need some company." Cagalli laughed and said, " Well I was just writing but I guess I can take a break to talk for the last few minutes."
Athrun laughed and looked up at the ceiling. Cagalli stared at him for a moment and said, " So was this first class easy for you?" Athrun looked at her and said, " Yeah. It was only reading so yeah it was." Cagalli laughed.
" Well that's what we pretty much do in here. We read in our text books."
The bell rang and scared Athrun and Cagalli. Everyone was leaving the room. Cagalli waited until everyone was out until she left. When she walked out of the room Athrun was leaning on the wall. Cagalli walked up to him and said, " I thought you were gonna go to math?"
Athrun laughed and said, " Well I don't mean to be like all on you about this but where is the math room?" Cagalli laughed and pointed down the hall.
" Thanks. I will see ya in a little bit."
" Alright. Meet me by the gym as planned. Alright."
Athrun nodded his head and started to walk to his class. Cagalli walked the other way to her class. Cagalli was atleast 10 minutes late. When she walked into the class room everyone stared at her. She walked to the teacher and gave her a note telling her where she was and why she was late.
Even though it was fake the teacher fell for it. Cagalli walked over to her seat and took out her text book. Since today was the first day back the teachers just had the students read from their text books all day. But in math they were learning algebra. When they got assigned their pages to read and questions, Cagalli finished and had alot of extra time left.
Cagalli grabbed her books and walked up to the teacher.
" I need to go to the nurses office. May I please go?"
She nodded her head and wrote a note to go. Cagalli grabbed the note and walked out of the room. As she was walking down the hallway she walked over to Athrun's room and looked inside. She looked around for him and saw him sitting in the back row staring out the window.
Cagalli smiled and grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a fake note for Athrun to get out of class. Cagalli laughed and knocked on the door. Cagalli opened the door and smiled at Athrun
" I have a note for Athrun Zala to get out of class."
The teacher walked over to her and grabbed the note. She nodded her head and gave Athrun the note and said, " You don't have any homework."
Athrun smiled at her and walked out of the classroom. When the teacher closed the door Athrun looked at Cagalli and said, " So why am I out of class."
Cagalli laughed and said, " I faked it. You don't have to go to the office. It's fake." Athrun laughed and said, " Ok, so where are we going?"
" To the park."
Athrun stared at Cagalli. She laughed and grabbed his hand and pulled him to the park. Athrun stared at their hands for a moment.
" So why are we going to the park?"
" I just don't feel like going to school. I don't know. Maybe because I haven't gone to school for like ever and i'm used to all this free time."
Athrun stared at her. When they got to the park Cagalli let go of his hand and walked over to the swing. Athrun walked behind the swing and pushed her.
Cagalli tilted her head back and closed her eyes. Athrun pushed her lightly thinking of something to say. Athrun looked at her for a moment.
" Cagalli, I don't mean to be in your buisness but why haven't you been in school lately?"
Cagalli looked at him and stopped the swing. She put her head down and said, " I really don't feel like talking about it."
" Alright. Like I said I don't mean to be in you buisness."
Cagalli started swinging again. As Athrun was pushing her he looked at her. Athrun couldn't think of anything else to say. Cagalli turned her body and looked at Athrun.
Cagalli wanted to tell him but she just wasn't ready for anyone to know. So she sat there for the rest of the time looking up at the sky thinking. Cagalli closed her eyes to pass the time that they had left. After a while she checked the time and saw that they both had to go. Cagalli stopped the swinging and looked at Athrun.
" We have to go."
Athrun nodded his head and they both walked onto the sidewalk. It was silent the whole time. When we got back to school everyone was switching to 4th period. Both of them walked to the lunch room together. Kira and everyone else was at the table waiting for them.
Once they both got there lunches they walked over to the table. Kira smiled at them.
" So how was your first three classes Athrun?"
" They were great. Really easy the first day."
Kira smiled at him. He turned to his sister and smiled at her.
" Hey how are you doing after that whole thing with Mr. Townsend?"
" I swear I was about to punch the living crap out of him. If he said one more word to me I would of done it. "
Everyone laughed. Everyone was eating and talking at the same time. When the period was over. Everyone seperated once again to go to their next class. Athrun said good bye to Cagalli and walked to his next class.
Cagalli stood in the hall ways for a few seconds. Then as she was walking to her next class the girls in the hallway stared at her as she walked past. When she got to her class she knocked on the door and then walked in. Cagalli walked to her seat and took out her text book.
She read what ever she found was interesting. The period went by slowly. Once it was finally over Cagalli went through the rest of her classes smoothly. At the end of the school day everyone met outside and walked home together.
Athrun stayed by Cagalli and they talked and laughed together. When it got to the point they had to seperate Athrun looked at Cagalli and said, " Well I will see you tomorrow morning. So good night Cagalli."
Cagalli smiled and said, " Good night. I will see you tomorrow morning." Cagalli waved to him and then walked towards her house with Kira.
" So I see that you have a thing for Athrun."
Cagalli turned to her brother and hit him in the shoulder. " I do not. He's just a friend. Nothing else."
Kira laughed. Cagalli turned away blushing. As they were walking Cagalli kept kicking a stone the whole way.
" How long have you and Lacus been together?"
" Um, about 3 months. Why?"
" Just wandering. Well here's my house so I will see you tomorrow. Bye."
Kira gave his sister a hug and then walked down his street. Cagalli opened her front door and put her bag on the floor. Both her parents greeted her. Cagalli walked up to her room and went on her lap top to do her homework.
An hour later she finished and her mother called her down for dinner. Cagalli turned off her lap top and walked downstairs to eat dinner. She down at the table and waited for her parents to sit down. Then they held hands and said their prayers. Once that was done they started to eat.
" So, Cagalli how was your first day back at school?"
" It was fine. I met someone. He is one of Kira's friends."
" Well that is surely somthing. What is his name?"
" It's Athrun Zala."
" That's a very lovely name."
Cagalli nodded her head and went back to eating. A little later everyone finished and then they cleaned up. When they were finished Cagalli said good night to her parents and then went upstairs to bed. She changed into her night gown and climbed in to bed.
Once she was comfortable she turned off her light and went to bed.
