Chapter One: Initial Glances

Couple: AthrunXCagalli

Genre: Romance, Humour, Drama

Summary: What happens when the most popular boy, Athrun Zala, has a thing for an outcast, Cagalli Yula Atha? Could this odd confrontation lead to something more serious? Read to find out.

'Another average fangirl-filled day,' thought Athrun as he signed the last of the hormone-driven teenaged girls' books. He would often wonder why so many schoolgirls adored him so much. After all, he was just an amazingly attractive seventeen year old teenage male who attended ORB High in the eleventh grade. Oh wait. Maybe that was the reason. 'Whatever…' he mentally sighed.

After lunch period, he joined his friends; Kira, Dearka, Yzak, and Nicol for math. "Hey guys! Ready for a boring lesson with Mr. Creuset?"

"To hell with that masked retard!!" the platinum blonde exclaimed with anger.

"Oh not math class…" Dearka sighed in anguish.

"I think the man's corrupt." stated the brunette.

"What are you guys talking about? Math class is the best! It's so fun and interesting..." the green haired boy pleaded, but then paused as his friends stared at him wide-eyed. "What?".

"…" they were silent the rest of the way to math class.

As they entered the room, they were welcomed by a "you're late" from Mr. Creuset. They were instructed to sit and listen to the boring review on equations for the next twenty minutes. Obviously bored, Athrun peered around the room looking at all the other people in the room, then stared at one particular blonde two rows ahead of him who seemed to be drawing a crazy picture of some masked guy. Wait a minute. It was Mr. Creuset! 'What a naughty girl!' was the first thought to pass his mind.

He decided to take a closer look at it and leaned over the side of his chair. He still couldn't get a close enough look because someone's fat elbow was in the way. So he leaned further. Still the elbow! He leaned even further. Finally the guy moved his elbow as he secretly grabbed a snack from his desk. Athrun leaned further to get the best look possible, then the guy in front of him replaced his arm on the desk. The blue-haired boy lost all concentration, and all was heard was a thud, then a burst of laughter. "Well Zala, you're getting a little anxious there aren't you?" called a voice from the masked-man. Athrun's face turned red as a tomato before class had just ended.

"Oh great," Athrun moaned as he walked to art class alone. The only class where he was with none of his friends and was filled with boring Picasso, DiVinci, Vincent Van Gogh, and other old artists work. Obviously this wasn't going to be fun, considering there was an art assignment due today and he was going to face not turning it in. He stepped in the classroom and took his seat as Mrs. Ramius began to call people up to present their work.

"As you know students, today is the day you present your drawings of someone you know, in a cartoon way. So who wants to go first?" she asked as the blonde's hand went flying into the air and waved wildly.

"Ooh, ooh!! Pick me!! Pick me!!!" she screamed excitedly.

"Alright Miss Atha. Come to the front of the class and present your work on the overhead." the teacher instructed. The blonde raced her way towards the front of the classroom, then smacked her lined paper on the overhead, and turned it on. The class was filled with laughter and a disgusted expression came upon Ms. Ramius' face. It was her drawing from math class. "MISS ATHA!! GO TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE NOW!!" the teacher screamed as the blonde ran out of the room with a huge grin on her face.

Athrun decided to skip final period due to the fact it was only gym class and he really didn't feel like running twenty laps today. So he decided to walk down to Mr. Dullindal's office out of curiosity. He started to eavesdrop and heard a strange conversation between the blonde and the principal.

"Miss Atha this is the third time this week! What do you think your father's going to think of this?"

"I don't give a rats ass about what my father thinks! He doesn't even pay much attention to me considering he's too busy taking care of his precious country!"

"We'll see about that!" he exclaimed grabbing the phone and dialing the number to the Atha residence.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!?"

"I'm calling your father and reporting your behavior. You've gone too far Miss Atha!"

"No!! Don't! I promise I won't do it again. I promise. Give me a chance!"

"Fine," he said hanging up "Only one more chance. Do it again, and I will call your father."

"I promise I won't." she said leaving the room. Athrun hid behind the corner of a wall. The blonde pressed on to get her stuff and leave.

Outside, Athrun lounged around the parking lot listening to his mp3 player when he heard yelling and laughing. He walked towards the noise, then hid behind the wall as he watched the horrible sight. Three of his probably top fangirls bullying a familiar blonde. They shot insults at her simultaneously, and her books and paper were scattered everywhere. He decided not to interfere, seeing as word would spread around the school thus ruining his reputation.

"You stupid little bitch. Why are you so ugly?? You look like a freak so you should be one you ugly beast!" a pink-haired girl spat at her.

"I'd rather be a freak than a prostitute!" the blonde screamed as she punched the opposing girl's nose, causing it to bleed.

"WHAT!? I'm BLEEDING!! It's ruining my lip gloss and new dress!! You'll pay for this beast!" She screamed as she ran away crying as her friends ran after her.

"Bitch asked for it.". The blonde said to herself as she started picking up her scattered books. Athrun spotted a pen by his foot then picked it up and walked over to her.

"Uh… is this yours?" he asked.

"Hey!! What're you doing with that?? Give me my pen!!" she screamed at him as she grabbed her pen before falling into realization. "Wait… aren't you that guy who fell off his chair at math class?" she asked as she remembered him being the host in the earlier incident.

"You didn't need to take it from me like that! And yes I am. Who are you?"

"None of your business!!" she spat back at him as she sped past him and left the school. Athrun was about to chase after her, before he decided not to and sighed before heading home.
