ATTENTION! I ran out of character chars in the summary, so I didn't get to add a small detail. Has some Athrun x Cagalli in it!
I hate summer.
"Finally! The last day of school!" morning shouts of roars down the hallway.
"Can't you wait for summer? Finally it's the last day of school! After spending 10 months studying, it's finally time for me to relax. How about you, Lacus?" Cagalli Yula Athha, my best friend said as she stood by my locker. Her short blond hair was in her eyes, and she was smiling widely at me.
I groaned as I opened up my locker. "Summer? Are you serious, Cagalli? I hate summer! I'll be spending my two months having to stay in a sports summer camp!" I cried, taking out all of my belongings out of my locker. I gathered up all my school books and anything else I had kept through-out the school year, and dumped them all in my pink backpack.
"Too bad my mom didn't want me to go there. She thinks I need to focus more on my schooling, instead of sports. So now, I have to go to some learning program for my summer," Cagalli said, "But, Kira's going to be there! So you don't have to worry about anything."
My heart pounded when I heard Kira's name. Kira, is Cagalli's twin brother, they were both separated at birth. I met Kira and Cagalli both when I was in elementary school, grade 3. Cagalli and I were in the same class. Kira was in another class. I never noticed him, only through my eyes as "Cagalli's twin brother," but when we hit grade 6, I started falling for him. He was an athletic guy. He loved sports, and was on every school sports team at the school, but he was also one of the smartest students too. He loved reading books. Every time I don't know a word, he would look it up for me. Kira was the sweetest boy I've ever met. If I fall or drop my textbooks in school, he would pick it up for me or help me up. Kira is the most popular boy at school, loved by the girls, envied by the guys. Unlike them, I knew the real Kira Yamato. All the girls only like him because of his Hollywood looks. They didn't know his true self, like Cagalli and I do.
The class bell rang before I could respond to Cagalli. "Let's get to class!" Cagalli cried quickly, as a crowd of people rushed through the hallways to their class. I grabbed onto Cagalli's backpack tightly, as she led me to class. We both entered our English class, and slipped into desks in the middle of the classroom.
Our math teacher wasn't there to greet them. Probably was late or at a meeting or something. The kids around us chattered on and on about their plans for summer vacation. Cagalli and I talked on about our plans for those two months.
Everyone stopped talking at an instant, when Momoko Honda, one of the most popular girls in the school stood up. She tossed her perfectly straight black hair over her shoulder, and smiled to the class. "I, Momoko Honda, have the best news for everyone!" She announced. I stared at her, wondering what the news was. "I'm going to be at that summer camp that the school wanted us to sign-up for!"
I groaned. Momoko, was going to go to the same summer camp as me. Great, someone to avoid at that stupid Teen sport camp.
"That's the first part of the best news!" Momoko said, "Well, guess whose moving back to Tokyo?" she asked to the class. No one answered her, "Fllay Aster is going to be moving back to Tokyo! Not only she's going to be attending this school again, but she's going to be at that summer camp with me! Isn't that the best news ever?" Momoko clapped her hands.
Some people cheered. The rest, shrieked. "No! Fllay is coming back? This is the worst news ever!" cries of terror rose.
I sighed. No! Not Fllay Aster! The former most popular girl in school/and Momoko's best friend, Fllay Aster, the little rich red-head daddy's girl. She once was the most popular girl in school (and the meanest) until she moved away last year to New Brunswick, Canada with her father. She ruled every inch of this school, and was feared by everyone. One time, this girl named Sayoko had a cute new dress for the dance, and Fllay was also wearing the exact same dress! Everyone got angry at Sayoko, claiming she stole Fllay's "look", and Sayoko ended up spending most of time in the bathroom stall sobbing. The next day, Sayoko moved all the way across the country! Fllay was not only mean, but she was beautiful. All of the guys wanted to date her, but she only had her eyes on Kira. They dated for a while, until Kira dumped her a week before she was leaving to Canada. Fllay, swore to everyone that she would come back to the school. She also kissed Kira in front of a crowd and left off in her limo. Fllay had always never noticed me. I used to be friends with her in grade 3 and 4, until Fllay started making new friends. Right when Fllay entered high school, she had more power. She started spending thousands of money on clothes and make-up, throw parties all the time, and dated many older guys. Fllay had said that Kira was the "true one," for her. Yeah right!
If Fllay was coming back to school, and also going to the same summer camp as me...she'll probably take the same sport as Kira. Kira and I, decided to take volleyball, because its better than any of the other options, basketball and baseball. I hope that Fllay found some hot Canadian guy in New Brunswick. She always gets what she wants, and I don't want her to go after Kira again!
"Oh great, Ms. Daddy's girl is coming back!" Cagalli whispered to me, "I was just about to enjoy my summer! Oh wait, isn't she going to that summer camp?" Cagalli asked.
I nodded, sadly. "I think she's going to try to snag Kira for herself!" I muttered. Cagalli was the only one that knew I had a crush on Kira. I had told her, right when Kira had hugged me when I had helped him find his history project on Ancient Japan. Cagalli, was at first very shocked that I would like her twin brother, but she said that Kira's very lucky to be with a girl with me. I didn't believe a word that she said. Kira was probably better off with Fllay Aster.
Momoko smirked at everyone. "Why don't you all say that to her face? Without Fllay, our school would be torn apart. Besides, I hear she's going after Kira Yamato again! Oooh! Tell your brother that, Cagalli. I'm sure he'll be sorry for dumping her one week before she was departing to Canada." Momoko looked at her nails, and sat down at her seat when the English teacher walked in.
He looked awfully happy, probably because it was the last day of school. "Sorry I'm late! I was busy chatting with the teachers about their summer vacation ideas! Finally, I'll be able to get out of this dump for a good two months." he whispered. "So today, we wouldn't really be doing anything, expect writing me a 3 page, no double-spaced, both sided essay about yout summer vacation! Your thoughts, feelings, a summer romance perhaps (he winked) and anything else you think is interesting that would give you an A. Its due on the first day you all come back! Yeah, I know you still might not be in my English class again, but I'll include this in your report card. So at 2:30 p.m, when the last bell rings, I expect a stack of papers on my desk, ready to be marked." The English teacher said, cheerfully. He also tried to get English to be as boring as possible, "Do I make myself clear?"
Groans roared. "No! We shouldn't be studying in the summer! I hate English! I hate Essays more!" shouts cried at the English teacher. He chuckled, and sat down in his chair, taking a sip of coffee, "Right now, you can talk for how long as you want until class is over."
Cagalli sighed. "What am I supposed to write about? How I learned how to use a calculator in that stupid learning program?" she asked me, angrily. Cagalli hated school. What she loved, like her brother, was sports. Cagalli joined every sport team, expect tennis. Cagalli was always yelled at about her low test marks and grades. On the other hand, Kira always had excellent marks.
"Oh c'mon, you could always write about your romantic dates with Athrun Zala!" I grinned. Athrun Zala, is also one of the most popular boys in school, and Kira's best friend. Athrun, is Cagalli's boyfriend. I didn't know much about him, but I know he's a very sweet guy.
Cagalli blushed and turned her head away. "Shut up Lacus! You're embarrassing me!" I chuckled.
We spent most of the time, talking about Fllay, when the bell rang. Cagalli and I stood up, and walked out of the English classroom. We were heading to our math class, when Kira passed by..."Hey Cagalli! Hey Lacus! How are you two?" Kira asked, taking his backpack. He was by his locker, taking all of his belongings out. "Good." I choked.
"Hey guess what? I heard Momoko say that Fllay was coming back." Kira rolled his eyes. "I hate that girl! All she did was whine on and on about how I had to spend more time with her than with my friends and at practices. I couldn't take her any longer." he looked around, "Fllay called me a few days ago, saying how she missed me and that she was going to probably move back! She also wants to join my in that summer camp were going to, Lacus." he groaned, and looked stressed; "I know she still likes me. But I don't want to reject her. It's too mean. I just don't know what to do." he said.
The bell rang a second time, and Kira reached for his backpack. "Well, gotta go to class. Later." he said and walked away from them.
I blushed, as Cagalli hooked arms with me. We headed towards our math class, waiting for the day to end.
"Lacus, please help me with the laundry, dear," my mother asked me, when I walked inside. School was finished! Finally out for the summer! "Lacus, it may be the end of school, but you need to help me with the laundry." she said.
I nodded and reached for the basket dirty clothing. I held it, and walked towards the laundry room. I dumped all the laundry into the washing machine, and set up the time. As it set up, I walked out of the laundry room and upstairs into my room. "LAUNDRY FINISHED MOM!" I shouted, and closed the my bedroom door behind me. Finally, I'll be able to sleep overtime for two months! And, I'll be able to go to that camp with Kira! The camp was near my house, only took like 15-20 minutes to get there. My mom had told me to bike with Kira there and back home. She was too lazy to drive me there! I jumped on top of my bed, excited.
"Oh wait, wouldn't Fllay be there?" I asked myself, looking up at the ceiling. This morning, Kira looked awfully angry when he had heard that Fllay was coming back. "Maybe he doesn't have the feelings she has for him! Maybe, he would just ignore her for the entire summer, but, there's always school." I whispered. I turned around, trying to fall asleep. Kira, probably doesn't like me. I'm too quiet and not like him. He's better off with some popular and rich girl like Fllay or Momoko.
I closed my eyes, and fell fast asleep under my warm quilt.
To be continued
Author's note.
Just to tell you, that this story is VERY much like the book called, "He's with me." Just to tell you that. I loved the book so much; I decided to do a story similar to it. I just twisted it up a bit. And also, Lacus and Kira is a bit OCC. Their characters aren't like in the manga/anime.
Anyways, yes I should not be starting a new story. I SHOULD be finishing my other stories. But I wanted to write this story SO badly. I just spend more than an hour typing.
I have school, RL drama, AND other FF stories to write. Wow. Busy life -.-
But, I'm sorry but I have to write the other stories first. 1 chapter of YuriYuri. 1 chapter of Promises. And then 1 chapter of If only it was real. So busy. But I'll try to do my best!
