Chapter 2.
Athrun thundered into the arcade with plenty of side glances. Many waved to him or said hi but he never took notice of them.
"Athrun where were you? You told me you were parking so what took you so long?" Kira asked after spotting his friend from his storm in and walked all the way back to the counter.
Athrun was too embarris to explain to his friend what happen.. ..on how he just let a girl slip right infront of his face and out. He was pissed beyond belief, not only did that blonde stole his spot, she left him stranded for another good thirty minutes underground till he eventually got fed up went back up the surface and search outside for a spot. He was deffiently going to report to his father so he can get a reserved spot right infront too!
"It's a long story, now what wrong with Plant Strike?" Athrun asked as he moved towards fromilar grounds.
"Its just not starting after you picked what type of machine you want," Kira simply replied. Though he was a good manchanic himself he wasn't as good as his friend when taking apart pieces and putting them together as in building a machine. He was just good at configuration and programing games.
They moved pass a wade of people all acknowledging Athrun and he just give them a nod.
"Where's Yzak, wasn't he suppose to help out today?" Athrun asked as he pull out a bunch of keys from his pockets. He picked the one, bent down to open the game to see what was wrong with it.
Infact he was not suppose to come today, though he is, he didn't have to come unless he got a call and he did from Kira. How he wish he didn't get a call, he wouldn't have met that girl which turn his day into a bad one.
"Now lets see what the problem is," Athrun went and took out a flash light.
After parking and taking the escalator up to the first floor, Cagalli happily walked around the mall. She went and gather her supplies for the new upcoming semester. She also had time to sit down and eat. She was deep in thought inside as it was going to be a busy and important final year for her. Not to mention that all of these events took her thirty mintues.
After browsing through the first floor she went back to the center court and went up on the escalator to the second floor. She wanted to go play some games, where else than Zaft Quarters. Cagalli loved that place. Everyone did, it had one of the best games in there. However when she went up and looked towards the arcade she saw the blue head stalking his way towards Zaft Quarters. She wanted to give brother a visit.
Cagalli stopped dead on her tracks and suddenly lost her intrest and decided it was a bad idea to go in and meet up with him again. She then had the sudden urge to leave. She went to the opposite side and and decided to take the elevator down instead to the parking lot.
"There all done!" Athrun exclaimed after fixing and splicing wires for around ten minutes on the machine.
There was some cheering beside him as eager fans wanted to start playing again. Athrun locked up the machine again and walked back to the counter after momentarily stopping by the fridge and take out a pop to drink.
"Thanks Athrun," Kira said patting his good friend on the shoulder.
"Ya, anytime," Athrn replied. Looking around he just didn't felt he had the mood to stay any longer especially when there was loud music all around. "I want to go now, don't feel like staying."
Kira surprised that his friend didn't wanted to stay around and play a bit asked, "really are you going to tell me what happen to your long delay-"
"No, I'm not," Athrun cut him off and he started to leave.
Kira didn't' suppress his friend and let him walked out.
Cagalli was awaken by a maid telling her it was time to get up and go to the first day of school. It was actaully her first year being at that school having a transfer and who would have thought at that nick of time before the school ended last June she became president of the school. After all her father did own the school. It was a well known one Orb High Academy and only the rich could afford to enroll in it.
Getting up Cagalli strech, she was going to have to make a speech through the P.A. system just welcoming them back.
"Cagalli-sama, we're here," the driver said. Cagalli had actually dose off since she wasn't a morning person.
Stepping out of the car she made her way through the big doors and headed towards the office. Looking through the glass she was delighted to see Kira who also saw her and waved. He was Cagalli half sister and though they didn't live in the same house they were very close siblings.
"Cagalli, how its going?" Kira asked. Kira was going to be in charge of the morning music for being in the tech crew after he was just told very roughly from a phone call from Athrun that he didn't wanted to do it.
"Good," muffle Cagalli. Then Mir came in, she was the school's P.R.
"Well then let get the two minute to get to class going now shall we?" Mir said.
The anthem went and gone. Athrun was sitting in his homeroom class twirling a pencil. Though he never listen to the annocements the voice that spoke first after the anthem sounded oddly fromilar but he couldn't remember where he heard it from. He shrug the odd feeling off.
He dose of thinking again his encounter with the blonde hair girl three days ago. He felt that he would meet her again and to his surprised he was looking forward to it
The first week went by and nothing much happened. Cagalli was busy organizing things in the S.A.C. room. They were planning for the end of the month introduction of the student body council assembly.
"Kira, we are going to need to rehears soon for the S.A.C assembly and we're thining of starting in two days time." Cagalli told her half-brother.
"Humm you have to talk to Athrun about that, he's tech head, just go up to him and discuss what you want to do so we can things set up and prepared," Kira replied.
The tech crew a.k.a sound and light was in charge of running all the school assemblies, drama plays, theatre stuff, music in the morning and they also built sets. In some cases you could say they were next in line for the most influential club in the school because they had keys to just about any door in the school.
"I thought you were in charge of these things?" Cagalli asked.
"Ya, I do a lot too, I'm assistant tech head. No worries Athrun is my best buddy he won't harm you for sure."
"So where can I meet up with him?" In truth Cagalli hadn't yet met Kira's friends since she was already soo busy at the beginning of the school semester.
"Wha you really haven't met him yet?" exclaimed Kira, "he's like one of the most popular guys at school surrouned by girls."
"Same for you," was all Cagalli could say.
"Humm you could speak to him during lunch tomorrow, I'll bring him over- just be in the cafetaria."
People scatter the halls during lunch at Orb High. Kira usually meeting up with his usual group caught Athrun at his locker.
"Athrun, my twin says she needs to run some stuff with you for the upcoming sac assembly."
"Umm, really since when did you have a twin?"
"Ever since I was born. And now you can meet her, shes the president after all."
"When?"
"Right now."
"Wha.. no way." Who would have thought tht Athrun cherished his lunch time the most.
"Yes way," and Kira dragged his friend to the cafetaria.
Cagalli was in the cafetaria sitting along with Lucus, Mir, Lunamaria and Meyrin when she heard behind someone saying, "I told you I want to go out and eat now!" She turn her head around and instantly turn it right back. Her heart was starting to beat a little too fast as she had recnongized who the person was beside her twin brother. Her head was screaming need to get out now but she was stuck to the spot. Her friends wave to Kira.
"Yes, president what do you want? Can you make it fast too, I want to eat," Athrun had said to Cagalli without even looking at her yet because he was scanning the cafetaria and folding his arms. All he heard was a gag so he looked down into amber eyes that capture him for a moment till his brian register her face from memory. He quickly backed off, unfolding his arms to the side and stared at her in disbelief. He finally manage to stumble the words "you."
Kira looked both at Cagalli and Athrun reaction but brush that aside and introduce them. "Well Athrun this is my twin sister, Cagalli Yula Athha, she's the school president if you didn't know and remember in June I told you to vote for her during the election day? Cag. he's my best friend Athrun Zala" Kira frown when Athrun reaction step-sided and had to grasp on to a chair for support. He did believe Athrun had never met her yet- that was for sure.
Athrun mind was racing as flashes of memories came flooding back. He actully did do the election assembly except he never bother to look and stand up as the belcony was too high. He was sitting down doing his homework because he didn't want to listen to the boring speeches. And beside Yzak was in there too so he didn't had to worry. And in class when he got the ballot he scan the names and just randomly chosed the name he thought sounded the nicest and that happened to be- Cagalli. Athrun eyes were very distant, he had actaully voted for her! He couldn't believe that out of everyone, well he had remember Kira mentioning to vote for Cagalli. But for him to vote for her.. he was speechless.
Cagalli seeing the look on Athrun face just guess that he was in shock of probably having to vote for her. "Hi, nice to meet you," Cagalli said who had already recover and was calm as ever and acted as if she didn't know him. "Well I just wanted a quick run through with the script that's all and the equiptment we want." She actually had a shy smile that was anticipating for another argument like the other day.
Athrun regain his composure and stood up. Nice to meet you, how corny Athrun thought. How he still wanted to yell at her for making him absolutly late but that was not the matter right now he wanted to eat. "Well nice to meet you to," he said in a very uncaring way, "well do you have the script with you and if you could do so just write down the number of mics you need and whatever on the paper."
Kira and the rest had felt the icy words from Athrun and the atmosphere was getting denser. Cagalli meanwhile pulled out a script, took pen and quickly jotted down the things she wanted and handed the paper to Athrun.
"Humm, this looks good enough well when the first rehersal two days from now, alright good," he brought the paper down and stare at Cagalli, "well miss Athha I ask you to make five more copies and we're see you there then." With that Athrun turned around and started to walk out. "Let's go Kira my stomach is growling." The truth was he didn't want to stand there any longer and embarris himself as he felt the urge to start another rant.
"Er.." Kira was a little lost he said good bye and left to chase after his friend.
Cagalli didn't like Athrun attitude well what had she to say she started it. She had a gut feeling things would not turn out great now.
"What wrong with Athrun he is usually nice to people," Mirillia said.
"True," Lucus said. "I have known him for years he has never been so uptight before, was it something about you Cagalli then?"
Cagalli baffled by her friends remarks try to get them offtopic "Who knows, he's just probably having a bad day now lets just eat."
"Yo, Athrun wait up," Kira said as he caught up to his friend was walking at an incredible speed he never thought he was capbale off towards his car.
Athrun unlocked his door got in and slamed it. Kira got in the passenger side and continue to looked at his friend weirdly. "Stop staring, nothing the matter she's your sis right.. just a little surprised." Athrun started the car and drove he was actaully looking forward now to the assembly he smiled maliciously welcome to my world miss Cagalli. He had after all total control of the assembly. "Kira tell the rest of the group to go for the rehersal afterschool, need to set up."
"What the heck, where's everyone," Cagalli said in frustration as in the forum nothing was set up and there was not a single techy soul around. "Where's Athrun?"!
"Right here."
Cagalli turned swiftly around to face him. "You were suppose to be set up and ready right after school," Cagalli said in a dissapointing tone.
Athrun sensing he had nip her sides was enjoying it. "Well my last period was physics, I didn't wanted to skip that."
"What about the others, don't tell me the whole club is run by you?"
"Infact it is about, I am tech head thus I own the keys and if I don't want to come out then too bad for you." Athrun was laughing in evil delight, while Cagalli face was fuming. "Where's my brother he could have set up!"
"He's-," Athrun swifle a glance around, "not here as you can see." "Well don't get so uptight, its not as if we're not going to reherase- its just that you are going to stay a little longer." With that Athrun stalked off calling towards his tech crew. He turn half way around on his walk, "Oh I think you should meet them since you are rather new here."
"Alright, guys for all who don't know this is our school president ms. Cagalli here who has a temper so don't get frigy with her or else who knows she might come and steal your spot anytime," Athrun introduce and got a glare from Cagalli.
"This is Yzak Joule, Dearka Elsman, Nicol Amalfi, Shinn Asuka," Athrun continued on with the list of names. "Now, lets get started."
"Yo, president!" called a voice and Cagalli turn around to face a silver hair. "Athrun asked for the scripts and music, do you have them?"
"Yes, I do, hold up let me run back and get them," Cagalli said and she jogged back into the sac room.
Cagalli was pacing around the forum, she was getting rather impatientent, the tech crew had been taking forever just to set up. An hour was already wasted and still they were plugging in wire, something about the lights and screaming at each other. It was choas and Cagalli and the rest could just go back into their rooms in chat. She marched up to Athrun and demanded "What is taking you so long! Can't we start yet?"
Athrun turned his head and smile, "why of course we have a lottt of time don't we now its not like we in a rush to 'park' like someone."
"Are you still angry over that!" Cagalli was letting her anger out.
"Humm what do you think? Oh nevermind that we're ready now lets get started." Athrun left she looks so funny when she gets mad think I should do it more often he thought.
Cagalli knew it was not over yet, the rehersal went by with plenty of accidental mistakes that she almost wanted to scream that they should know better already after the third run. Actually it was Athrun fault, he was taking his sweet time! Being incharge of sound. The day ended in bad terms with Cagalli just wanting to leave and never return again, there was another rehersal tomorrow before the show the following day after that.
"Welcome back Athrun," one of the maids said when he came through the front doors. Athrun nodded and asked "Where my father?" "He's in his studies upstairs."
"What is it Athrun?" Patrick Zala asked.
"Nothing really, I just wanted to ask you to give me a reserve permit spot for Plant Mall. There too much cars there and you actually expect me to find a spot, it takes forever dad. Like you should really block off a section for employees only"
"I think about it and look into the situation of having not enough parking space could be one of the defects of maximizing profits," Patrick said.
Athrun left to his bedroom where in bed he couldn't sleep as much because he was thinking of someone that had been nigging behind his back a lot. Now how to torment her more Athrun thought as he eventually drifted to sleep.
