Cagalli Yula Athha stared out at the distance into the massive Blitz University in front of her. It was no doubt one of the best private school's that anyone has known. As she stared, a million thoughts raced through her head and one of those was how much she loathed the school uniform, she felt tacky in it and ridiculous.

She had no problem with the blue sweater vest topped over her white blouse but she felt like shooting herself if she could when she saw herself in the mirror this morning wearing a skirt with blue and white checkers no less, it was awful!

"Ms. Athha, are you still listening?" Her new personal assistant, Andrei McCormick, said as he pulled her out of her reverie. The new guy was trying too hard to impress her father with him always wearing his silly black vests and his mutli-colored ties. The worse thing was that his coal black hair was always groomed to perfection a little too often that it got annoying.

"Hmm, oh yeah I still am" She tried not to sound snobbish because she really wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone especially with her gut twisting in different directions. She had asked her father to send her to a private school instead of being home-schooled because she felt the sudden urge to have a "normal high school life and have normal friends, the ones that didn't talk about politics and running a country every time they saw her" Now she didn't know why she even said such an absurd thing like that.

McCormick raised his eyebrows; he was sweaty again with anxiety like he always was when he was around the high ranking officials of ORB or Cagalli and her father. Cagalli sighed and wanted to forget about his unprofessionalism. She thought of actually giving McCormick a chance to prove himself but with the way he was always fidgeting didn't give Cagalli much choice and was ready to complain to her father about McComrick's 'problems'.

"Okay let's just run through your father's rules and guidelines again before I let you go" McCormick said, his voice still shaky while trying to act normal.

Cagalli threw back her head and groaned. She had heard the rules straight from her father for about ten times? She couldn't really remember she stopped counting how many times at ten.

"Fine let's just get this over with" She caved in knowing her now sweaty assistant wasn't going to relax until he did what he was told of.

"Okay first off, focus on your studies" Cagalli rolled her eyes. She always focused when needed and it never faltered.

"Second, there's no turning back, you wanted a regular high school and you can't ask to be taken out of it." She didn't really know if it was a regular high school like she had asked, knowing that it was one of the most prestigious schools in the world.

"Third, no boys, fourth, no partying, clubbing, drinking or any unnecessary behavior that could destroy the Athha name"

"Fifth, if you really want a normal high school life, stick to the name that we registered you in. Cagalli Hibiki"

Cagalli turned her head to look at McCormick, curiosity filled her face. "Why Hibiki?" She asked. McCormick swallowed a huge lump in his throat. He couldn't answer because he didn't know the answer, it was one of his weaknesses he was too much of a perfectionist, a trait that Cagalli hated. "Well um I don't really know Princess, your father chose it" Another strike, she hated being called princess.

Cagalli simply nodded to end his misery and with a click the door of the limo opened for her. She stepped out and breathed in the fresh air of her new school. She slung her leather bag over her shoulder and didn't look back at the car. If she did they might think that she was nervous or somewhere in between that feeling. She was a strong independent lady, ORB's princess, well at least not in her school she wasn't. She was going to begin school with a white lie but that didn't really matter to her because all she wanted was something normal for once and this

school was the closest thing she could get.

The halls were empty with the exception of some overly disoriented students running late to their classes. Great, she thought, it was her first day and she was already late for first period, how wonderful.

It was a massive school with several different buildings and she regretted missing the tour just because her father forced her to attend another one of the State Dinners that she hated since she had to be forcibly put into a dress every time she tried to run away.

Cagalli circled the first building knowing that she was lost and was probably going to miss the first class. She held her schedule tightly and gritted her teeth with frustration, she was about to tear the wretched, useless paper apart when a voice from above her made her skin jump in an instant.

"You must be lost" The half amused voice came from the stairs above her. Cagalli craned her neck to see a brown haired boy wearing the school uniform with his black pants and sweater vest, slowly descending the stairs. He was looking at her with a small smile appearing at the side of his lips.

Cagalli took a deep breath and composed herself from wanting to smack this boy out of the windows. The one thing she hated was being surprised and the boy her age did just that as he approached her with the same amused expression.

"Oh sorry about that, did I surprise you?" He said, his voice was gentle and he actually seemed sweet as his face softened.

"What? Oh no don't worry about it, its fine" Cagalli took a small step back and loosened her hold on her almost crumpled schedule.

"I'm Kira Yamato by the way. Nice to meet you" Kira reached out his hand to her with a genuine welcoming smile dawning his face. Despite earlier, Cagalli actually liked him a little.

She took his hand and shook it gently like she did with her father's guests. "Cagalli Yu-, I mean Cagalli, Cagalli Hibiki" Her heart raced. It was too close, so far she was doing awful with the whole name change thing but Kira either didn't seem to notice or just let it go to which she was thankful for.

"Well you're obviously new here" Kira said, stating it matter-of-factly

"Yeah I am how'd you know?" Cagalli asked

"Well first of all I haven't seen you till now and second…" He reached for her schedule and took it lightly as Cagalli willfully let it go.

"Judging from your schedule your next class is chemistry"

"Yeah so?"

"That," Kira pointed to the double doors that Cagalli was standing in front of for the whole 2 minute, still ongoing conversation that they were having "is the gym" Kira beamed at her as if he knew all along that he was going to point out her mistake.

"Oh thank you for pointing it out" Cagalli's faced flush red with embarrassment, he was right and she was lost. Things couldn't get any worse than that.

"Its fine I'll just take you to your next class because obviously there's no more time for us to go to the science building, first period is almost over. It's a huge school, such a hassle isn't it?"

Cagalli couldn't help but notice why he was actually roaming the halls at a time like this. He must've read her mind, much to her not liking it, because he explained that the principal called for him at the middle of his class as he carefully left out what he actually talked about with the 'the man that ran the whole university'.

"Come on we have the same class and it's just in this building in the fourth floor" Kira motioned for her to follow him as they went up to the next flight of stairs. Everything about the school was beautiful from its wide green fields to its towering buildings that looked new and elegant even though the school was already years old, and for Cagalli it was just normal, just the way she liked it.

They arrived at the room just as the students filled the hallways to go to their next class. And with just that, it was easy for her to tell who were the nerds, the jocks, the irritating people who thought that they were popular and ruled the school, the normal people, to which she thought Kira belonged in, and the others.

It was easy for her to tell by just looking at how they carry themselves as they scatter for their next class. Telling people by just looking at the way they moved was one of the things her father had thought her and Cagalli was rather proud of herself for that.

Kira opened the half filled room of students who were clearly in the same class as them. "Come on I'll introduce you to my friends" Kira walked her over to a group who were all facing each other in their seats while some were on top of their desks, engaged in a conversation about robots.

The blue haired boy noticed Kira immediately stopping mid-sentence to acknowledge him with an all too typical fist bump that most boys do now a days. The others said their, hi's and hello's and how's it goings to him after that. That instant Cagalli realized that she was wrong, and how she hated being wrong, Kira wasn't one of the normal kids, he was one of the popular kids who surprisingly just seemed unusually nice.

She noticed the blue haired boy staring right at her with his intense green eyes; she felt every bit of awkward and extremely disliked being stared at.

"I don't think you've introduced us to your friend yet Kira" a girl with short brown hair said. Her eyes fixated on Cagalli

"Oh yeah, guys this is Cagalli, she's new here so I'm expecting that everyone will make her feel welcome" Kira said with a confident smile

'It's nice to meet you" Once again it was the brown haired girl that spoke "Miriallia Haw pleased to make your acquaintance" She actually sounded polite, Cagalli thought.

The others introduced themselves as Dearka Elsman, a snobby Yzak Joule, a pink haired all too jolly Lacus Clyne, the green haired Nicol Amalfi, and practically the whole class that she couldn't keep track of their names anymore.

The last one, the blue haired boy introduced himself as Athrun Zala. Zala? Cagalli felt like she had heard that name before and it wasn't a pretty memory either.
