Being a High School student was a real drag for Kira Yamato, despite being a senior he would always get bullied for his intelligence, he was deemed as the nerdiest of the nerds, the geekiest of the geeks, and the ass kisser to the entire school Administration. To make matters worse his longtime friend of 17 years Athrun Zala, transferred to another school during their last term leaving Kira to fend for himself without his righthand man.

Like every High School, there was a ladder of popularity, and Kira was at the bottom. There were rumors that on this social ladder he was lower than the janitors. To make things worse his sister Cagalli and his other childhood friend Lacus were at the top of that ladder. Cagalli was extremely athletic, every sport she tried out for she made it no sweat. While Lacus the High School President, and prettiest girl in the school made her 'eye candy' for all the boys.

This was how life was for Kira Yamato who sat at the bottom, he didn't bother talking to anyone he knew because he was afraid if someone saw him trying to interact anyone with anyone that group with immediately 'tease' him. High school, it's very existence, everything about it, the school, the administration, teachers and students, they all brought out the Anti-social that was buried deep within Kira.

Everyday Kira sat alone in class and in the cafeteria, he would often ditch class just to escape the hell called "High School". He would always go to his tree out in the schoolyard and sit underneath it as he looked up into the sky. He always was fascinated with the sky and with how blue, and beautiful the sky could be. He wanted to know what heaven felt like or what it was like to fly. Sometimes, he thought that if he got carried away, lost in his daydreams that he himself would fly away too. He didn't really care about how he would fly, all he knew was that he was going to experience it sooner or later.

If or when he got back into school, he was met with the usual teachers and admin giving him a pep talk as to why skipping class was a bad thing; but even they knew that their rants wouldn't get through to him because they knew his mental and physical state. Often times Kira just hoped that they would just suspend him so that he wouldn't have to come to school, but that never happened. Everytime Kira would get into these situations it would always cause some sort of stir within the school.

"Mister goody-two-shoes is in trouble once again" was one of the phrases that traveled around

"Pity him!" said another voice.

Each word, each phrase hurt Kira and it damaged him even more. When Kira got out of those situations, Cagalli would always be the one to make sure he was doing okay, and like all the times she asked him, he would give her the same answer. He would smile weakly before he walking into the mass of people disappearing as if nothing ever happened.

A few days had passed when Kira stumbled into class, very, very late; his skin was pale, and his beautiful purple eyes were dull. Without even staring at the teacher he lazily found his way to his desk where he rested his head until the period ended. When class ended he stumbled around the hallways until he ran into Lacus and Cagalli who had heard from various sources around the school that he had been acting weird.

The two confronted him and asked "Kira what's wrong?" What they heard from his pale lips made their hearts drop into their stomach.

"I can't take it anymore" he said before he rushed out of the building never to be seen again.
