:::Chapter 1: Unlucky in Love:::

She is standing in front of a full body mirror while her reflection suggests that she looks so miserable. Her blonde hair is messy, dark and swollen eye bags are just some of what she got from locking herself in her room for almost 2 days.

Flashback

Two days ago…

"Cagalli, I don't think that this kind of relationship we have will push through".

"What do you mean Rusty? Could you just say it to me explicitly?" the blonde girl demanded.

"I want a break up!" he said almost casually.

She doesn't want to believe what is she hearing right now. Her body felt numb and her knees started to weakened.

"No Rusty, you are just kidding right?"

"I am sorry Cagalli".

-SLAP-

"Bastard!"

End of Flashback

She was about to slump back to bed when she heard the doorbell to buzz. At first she don't have the intention to bother who's visiting her but due to her annoyance on the noise it creates, she was forced to look who was it.

"Oh Cagalli!", the pink haired visitor hugged her.

"You look terrible! We were worried about you!"

"Lacus, why don't we get inside first, its kinda embarrassing somebody sees me in this condition"

"It's a good thing you mentioned of that. Now, now, before we get to the girl talk, please take a bath first!", she said to Cagalli and grinned.

The blonde just gave the pink head a glare but the other one just winked at her.

After almost one hour, Cagalli finally finished cleansing herself.

"You really took your time huh!" Lacus teased.

"Sorry for keeping you wait. Do you want something to eat?" she asked.

"An iced tea will do, I brought you a strawberry cake." Lacus said.

She was delighted upon hearing those. Strawberry cake is her favorite.

"So, are you ready to tell me what had happened, of course without being teary eyed. I don't want you to be crying again." Lacus asked sincerely.

"That Rusty jerk, he dumped me".

Bitterness in her eyes is obvious upon saying those words.

"I should have listened to you before. He was a bastard".

She sighed heavily.

"You deserved someone better." Lacus was trying to comfort her.

"Tell me Lacus, am I that so ugly or terrible? Why am I being consistently dumped by those guys?"

Tears are starting to well up in her eyes.

"No you are not ugly or terrible. Those guys just think so superficially. They don't know how to determine a precious rose. You are beautiful inside and out. You are who you are. If they could not accept you at your worst, then they don't deserve you at your best. Cheer up girl!" Lacus said while hushing her.

"I can't help it! To feel insecurities. You knew that this is not the first time." Cagalli said.

Yeah that's right. It was not her first break up; well in fact it was the 3rd one. Her first boyfriend was her childhood friend Ahmed. They lasted for about two years but he broke up with her after his parents entered Ahmed into an arranged marriage because he could not afford to disappoint his parents. The second one was Auel Neider, the university heartthrob. He dumped Cagalli after a month, for she was just the flavor of the month at that time. And the recent one was with Rusty Mackenzie, future successor in their business empire. His parents don't approve Cagalli, who is just a P.E instructor, for their son.

"Come on! Just forget about them, let us just dig in with this cake ok?" Lacus changed the topic.

"You must report to class tomorrow. Your students miss you. You must not left them behind especially that the volleyball tournament is fast approaching. Lunar University must bring the bacon home right?"

"The victory will be ours definitely!" Cagalli said.

"Alright, that's the sprit!"

"Thank you Lacus for coming over here and of course for the delicious strawberry cake!".

"Don't mention it! By the way, Kira told me that he should be finished fixing your laptop by tomorrow. I will hand it to you the following day."

"Thanks again."

"Well, I guess I have to go now, I have piles of test papers to check with. See yah tomorrow!"

"You take care!"

~the following day~

At the P.E faculty room

"Ohaiyou!" Cagalli greeted.

"Oh! The feisty sensei reported to work now! I thought you're gonna sulk for the rest of your life." Martin said, mocking at Cagalli.

"Just shut up da Costa! You were not helping at all." She said and glared to Martin.

"Take it easy. I was just trolling with you. Well, the students keep on asking you. You must be lucky to have such concerned student."

"Whatever! You aren't funny after all! Bleeh!"

Martin just chuckled to her childish behavior.

At the volleyball team practice…

"Hey gals! Did yah practice while the coach was absent?" Cagalli said.

Everybody was happy to see their coach back on the action.

"We are happy that sensei is back!" Asagi exclaimed.

"Same goes for us! Right gals?" Mayura said.

"Of course! Without coach Cagalli, team Akatsuki will not be team Akatsuki without her!" everyone in the members exclaimed.

Upon seeing those gestures shown by her students, she can't help it but to agree with what Martin and Lacus have said. It's not a reason to stop on living if you have suffered from break ups. There are lots of things which are rewarding other than having a love life. As for now, she will have to focus on how to bring the victory to their team.

"Thank you everyone! I'm really happy! So, what are we waiting? Let's start the practice so that the victory will be ours! May the spirit of Haumea bring victory to us! Let's do it team Akatsuki!"
