Cagalli Yula Athha somehow managed to make her way to the hall where she would be residing. At least no one can bother me here. She reached the front door of her new room and inserted the key inside and was greeted by the orange glow that was reflected off the painted walls by the sunlight that was streaming through the open window which faced the driveway of the school. She couldn't help but smiled sure it was not as big as her bedroom at home but it looked cosy. She looked at the beds, it looked inviting.

Wait a minute! Two beds? No that's not right! I specifically asked for a single room! She thought as her stomach gave a funny lurch.

She looked at the bed that already had stuff sprawled all over it, some clothes and books.

Oh man! How the hell am I going to keep up the charade with another boy sleeping beside me? No! I'm changing room! As she stormed out of her room and slammed the door behind her.

"Excuse me, I think there must have been some mistake. I remembered requesting for a single room?" She said panting as she burst into the office.

The same plump lady who had given her the dorm key looked at her scathingly. "There is no mistake. There are no single rooms this year. All the single rooms had been converted to doubles due to the increased in enrolment. If you have a problem, I suggest you talk to the headmaster." She replied. Cagalli mouth opened as her hazel eyes narrowed.

"Fine then, I'll talk to him," She said clenching her fists pissed by the plump lady's words. Her words surprised the lady since she did not think that any students will dare to look for the headmaster. Obviously she had not met Cagalli.

"You're in luck. He's in," She said dryly, showing clear dislike for Cagalli. Cagalli glared at her as she made her way to the headmaster's office. She knocked on the heavy oak doors as she heard a muffled "Come in". She nervously entered the room, the headmaster a middle-aged man with black hair was seated behind a desk as he pored over his work.

"How can I help you?" The headmaster said looking up. Cagalli cleared her throat as she replied, "Excuse me, I just transferred here. My name is Caleb Yula. I was wondering about my room." She sat down on a chair opposite the headmaster which she found out was Mr Gilbert Durandal.

The headmaster peered at her. "What about it?"

'Er…I was wondering if it's possible to have a room to myself. You see I-er not comfortable with sharing my room with a total stranger. I got personal space issues. Is it possible for me to change rooms?" She asked as her heart fluttered nervously.

The headmaster continued to look at her intently.

"I don't think it's possible, you see we have too many students this year. In fact I would have to turn some of the rooms into triple sharing just so every student has a place to sleep. So you see that is out of the question," He said in a voice that told Cagalli that she was fighting a losing battle.

Cagalli gulped as she tried to argue back, "But sir, I really can't stay with another boy because…because I um…er…have this problem! Which makes it really hard for me to live with anyone."

Mr Durandal's eyebrows raised as Cagalli continued.

"You see I'm a really bad roommate, I mean I snored like a chainsaw and I have really –er bad BO! Ya! I mean I went through about 6 or 8 roommates and they all complain about me so much until my former school administration had to put me in a single room.I don't think i can take anymore rejections. I think it would be better for me to sleep alone from the start. And besides think of the poor soul who has to suffer because of me! It'll be a lot better for him if I just sleep alone. I wouldn't want any of your students' grades to suffer because they have to study outside when I'm in the room," She invented wildly as she shook her head in fake sympathy and put on a sad face to back her story. She crossed her fingers hoping that the headmaster would buy her story.

The headmaster just looked at her with a bemused expression as he said lightly, "Well that is a problem but that can be fixed easily. Just tell your roommate to buy ear plugs and open the windows in your room and anyway our campus has good and conducive places to study sometimes better than the dorm room."

Cagalli just stared at him as she sputter out, "But…but…"

"You see, I think you're just shy about starting school as a new student. It's understandable. Don't worry, it'll be fine and I think your roommate would be most sympathetic to your problem. At ZAFT Academy we produce some of the country's finest citizens. So just enjoy your time here," He said with a knowing smile. Cagalli returned the smile weakly. She knew the argument was lost.

"I suppose so. I'll take my leave now. Thank you headmaster," She said unwillingly as she stood up and made her way to the door with a heavy heart.

"Caleb, if you have any problems you know you can always look for me. Here at ZAFT we try to keep things informal and foster relationships with the students," The headmaster called out smiling. Cagalli nodded as she exited the room and grudgingly made her way back to her dorm.

She was so lost in thoughts that she accidentally bumped into another student causing the files she had been holding to tumble out of her arms.

"Oof! I'm so sorry! I didn't see where I was going," Cagalli apologized as she bent down to pick up the fallen files.

The girl she bumped into smiled. "It's Ok."

"Here, sorry again," Cagalli said returning her files. Her eyes widened at the girl. She had beautiful pink hair and gorgeous blue eyes. Cagalli shook her head as her eyes fell to the girl's hands and saw the bracelet that she was wearing.

Oh my god, that's so pretty! She thought staring at the silver and multi-layered bracelet that had different coloured crystals adoring it together with intricate designs all over.

"Why thank you!" The girl said as Cagalli blushed realizing that she had voiced her thoughts out. "I got it at Rouge23," she added.

Cagalli tore her eyes from the bracelet to look at the girl. Rouge23? It was her favourite clothing store! Normally she dislike shopping but for Rouge23 she made an exception cause even though the clothes were feminine there was a certain edgy look to it which Cagalli loved. "Really? I didn't know they sell accessories too?" She said without thinking.

"Oh they don't use too, but they just opened a new accessories section here, I think it's the first in Orb," The pink-haired girl smiled. "Is it? Wow I didn't know that? Do you think they still sell this bracelet?" Cagalli asked eagerly but immediately realized what she had said in horror. Shit! Boys are not supposed to get all excited about a girl's bracelet! Ohmygod Rouge23 is a girls' store! Shit I can't believe I said all that!

Crap.

"Um…I mean it's for my cousin! Her er birthday is coming up soon! So um I think that she would like that bracelet! I mean why would I shop at Rouge23? It's a girl's store! I'm a boy! I don't shop!" Cagalli babbled as she tried to deepen her voice. The girl raised her eyebrows, confused at Cagalli's sudden strange demeanour. Cagalli felt her cheeks heating up. I got to get out of here!

"Um…I got to go! Bye!" Cagalli said hastily as she sprinted away cursing inwardly at her own stupidity.

The pink-haired girl watched Cagalli ran in amusement as she giggled. He's kinda cute She smiled as she walked away.

Panting, Cagalli reached her dorm room as she reached to unlock the door she noticed that the door was slightly ajar and she heard some weird noise coming from inside her room. Curious, she pushed open the door slightly and peeped in and immediately regretted it. She quickly pulled away as her heart start pounding as her cheeks warmed up again.

Oh my god

Gathering a hold on herself, she gulped as she approached the door again to confirm that what she had seen wasn't a hallucination.

There were two persons in her room; she couldn't see their faces just their lower legs and feet and it was clear to her that one was on top of the other, the girl she deduced from the slender legs and painted toenails was underneath with what she thinks is a boy on top of her from the well-muscled tanned legs she saw. There were moanings and sighings emitting from the bed. Cagalli couldn't help but feel embarrassed for them. It was clear as day that those two were making out very er passionately she thought blushing.

"You know, it's very rude to spy," a voice whispered behind her. Cagalli let out a small yelp at being caught, the voice freaked her out so badly that she jumped and tumbled into the room.

The couple in her room was so startled that the guy almost fell out of the bed as both of them quickly adjusted their clothes and sat up, their faces slightly flushed at being caught. Cagalli was mortified as she lay on the cold floor wishing that it would just opened up and swallowed her. She felt hands hoisting her up as she looked up and saw a brown-haired male smirking at her. Her face went red again.

"You ok?" He asked, her eyes widened as she recognized the voice as the one that freaked her out so badly.

"I-I'm fine," She muttered. The boy laughed as he turned his attention to the blushing couple.

"Next time remember to shut and lock the door Athrun Zala. You wouldn't want your lovemaking splashed all over school, think of the countless hearts you'll break?!" The boy teased as the boy – Athrun blushed again.

"Shut up Kira, what are you doing here anyway?" Athrun demanded.

"I live next door remember? And I saw peeping tom here" he jabbed a finger at Cagalli as two pair of eyes swiveled to her. "And I pretty much guess what was going on," He laughed.

'Who are you and why are you peeping?" Athrun said glaring at Cagalli.

Cagalli stared at him before replying. "I was assigned to this dorm." She crossed her arms over the chest.

"I see…aren't you going to apologize for spying?" Athrun questioned.

Cagalli's eyebrows rose as she spat back, "Me? Apologise? I'm not the one who is caught making out, if you dare to do it why can't I see?" Her face went fire-engine red at the last few words and the hidden meaning that they might imply. "I-I don't mean that I want to see. I wouldn't want to even you pay me a million bucks. I mean not that I will still see if you pay me a million bucks. I – I" Cagalli face went if its' even possible even redder. She was practically digging her own grave, as the three others in the room watch with raised eybrows at her futile attempt to right herself.

"Chill dude, we get it. Don't need to over-exerted yourself," Kira said bemused.

Cagalli glared at him.

"Whatever, so you're my new roomie. I'm Athrun, this is Kira and this" Athrun said gesturing to the girl who was examining her nails. "Is Meer. Nice to meet you." Athrun extended his hand. Cagalli looked at it hesitatingly as she shook it and looked at Athrun. Her heart skipped a beat as she had a good look at him. He was so freaking hot from his midnight-blue hair to his piercing green eyes to his well-formed body.

"I'm Caleb," She said when she finally regained her speech abilities her hand still warm from his handshake. She smiled as she glanced at the girl on the bed and received the shock of her life.

"You? Didn't I just saw you in the hallway? How did you get here so fast?!" She exclaimed in disbelief. Meer just rolled her eyes at Cagalli, disinterested.

Meer looked scary alike with the girl she bumped into. But when Cagalli looked at her closely, she realized that it wasn't the same girl. Sure they look alike but Meer gives Cagalli the creeps and the impression that this was a girl that she would most likely not be friends with.

"Huh? Oh you mean Lacus! You met her already? Ya I know they look like twins. But I can assure you that they are as different as night and day," Kira answered as Meer glared at him. Something tells Cagalli that Kira did not particularly like the choice of girl his friend was making out with. "Whatever. Athrun hon let's go," Meer said in a sweet voice that Cagalli took an instant dislike to; it was too sweet for her liking.

"Not now Meer, you need to leave before anyone finds out. I'll seeya later," Athrun said pecking her on the lips. Cagalli politely looked away as she felt irritation eating at her though she's not sure why.

Meer pouted and reluctantly left the room, obviously annoyed that her make out session had been interrupted.

"You're new right? Need me to show you around?" Athrun offered.

"No its fine," Cagalli said coldly as she threw her bag on her bed. She's not sure why but she was very disturbed by the kiss he gave to Meer. She figured that it was probably because she did not like public display of affections. Ya that's it. She thought.

She noticed a yellow and blue striped volleyball in the corner of the room. "You play volleyball?" She asked curiously.

"Hm? Ya…you play too?" Athurn asked as he picked up the ball and started playing with it.

"Ya. I was thinking of trying out for the team. You know when the tryouts are?" Cagalli asked eagerly.

"Tomorrow 10 at the Volleyball Court," Kira replied.

Cagalli whirled around and looked at him. "You're on the team too?"

"Yeah, Athrun here is the Captain," Kira said smiling.

Even a bigger shock. Athrun shrugged as he started bouncing the ball on the insides of his forearms a move usually employed by players to pass a ball that came to them below chest level to another teammate or what they call digging. Cagalli's orange eyes followed the ball as it made a rather soothing sound when it hit his arms. He's good Cagalli mused as she watched Athrun skillfully bounce the ball without dropping it.

"Stop showing off man," Kira said rolling his eyes, Athrun grinned as he caught the ball. Cagalli's heart skipped again.

"I got to go, seeya later," Kira said shaking his head as he left the room.

Cagalli resumed her unpacking careful not to let any items that might expose her gender shows. She felt a pair of eyes on her as she turned around to see Athrun staring at her.

"Don't you have anything else better to do?" She snapped.

"No," He said cheerfully, obviously enjoying irritating her.

Cagalli glared at him, much as she would like to sock the guy for staring at her and for turning their room into a brothel, she bit back her words since he's the volleyball captain and she did not want to anger him for fear that it might decrease her chances to be on the team. Giving him a final death glare, she slumped back on her bed and kicked off her shoes. Getting lost in thoughts again, she glanced at the clock. It was only six in the evening and yet so much had happened. She managed to survive four hours without exposing herself, made a 'vampire' piss, met her pimp-of-a-roommate, made a fool out of herself and even got chummy with the headmaster. She sighed as she rolled over to face the wall. She heard the door opened and closed. Athrun had left. Good riddance she thought as she closed her eyes and promptly fell asleep.


"Tryouts will begin shortly so I want you all to warm up. I do not want to hear complaints about muscles cramps," Athrun said. He was wearing his volleyball jersey and shorts. She couldn't help but think how cute he looked in them. She shook her head to clear her mind as she glanced around. There were about 10 to 15 other boys trying out as well. She sized up her competitors as she smirked. This will be easy. Her eyes wandered over to the bleaches which was filled with screaming fangirls. She wanted to puke at how desperate and pathetic those girls were acting. Her eyes widened when a black-haired boy with red eyes entered the court as the fangirls gushed loudly. She felt disgusted. Don't they know what a bully he is? How could they be cheering for a bully? Her stomach did a somersault as the 'vampire' spotted her and gave her an evil smile. Oh crap she cringed He's gonna try something.

"…OK, we'll start off with physical conditioning before getting to the volleyball part," Athrun said as he blew his whistle.

Physical conditioning was pure torture. They had to run 10 laps around the track at an inhuman speed that Cagalli thought that she would have a heart attack by the time they finished. Even though she was very fit, her speed was still not enough to keep up with the volleyball team boys as they finished the laps almost effortlessly. After that they had to do pull ups, push ups and other sorts of exercises. When they were done, Cagalli felt her arms and legs had become jelly, she was so exhausted.

"Ok take 5 and we'll start on the volleyball part," Athrun said as everyone dispersed to get a drink. Cagalli brightened up as fresh energy surged through her.

"Ok each of you will be paired up with a team member and you'll be doing passes before a friendly match and then I'll announce who made the cut," Athrun called out.

Cagalli looked around, hoping that maybe Kira would pair with her. But sadly, Kira had already found his partner.

"Can't find one rascal?" a cold voice that Cagalli knew only too well said. She felt herself stiffened as she turned around to face the 'vampire' who looks as if any moment he'll pounced and sink his fangs into her. Cagalli smiled nervously as the 'vampire' set the ball to her. Cagalli watched as the ball came down towards her, she expertly did an overhead pass to the 'vampire'. They started to volley the ball back and forth. He's really good Cagalli realized as since they had started 10 minutes ago, the ball had only seen ground twice which was pretty amazing.

Just as Cagalli though that maybe he wasn't that scary, his mouth curved upwards that gave an ominous feeling in her guts as she passed back the volleyball. The 'vampire' suddenly spiked the ball towards her, startling her as she felt the force of his spike. It knocked her backwards slightly as the air was whacked out of her lungs. He sure could deal a mean spike She thought as she straightened up with the ball in her hands.

"Shinn Asuka! I said passing not spiking!" Athrun shouted as he glared at his teammate. Shinn – the vampire smirked as he said, " Sorry captain, my bad. But it's not my fault that he wasn't paying attention. What kind of volleyballer are you?" He turned to her at his last comment. Athrun shot him a warning look. Cagalli glared at him, his face showing no traces of remorse. Cagalli could feel fear nibbing at her but her anger overpowered it as she stared angrily at him. If he wants to play rough, so can I! She smirked as she set the ball, plotting her revenge.

As they resume their play. Cagalli was on the look out for the opportunity for payback. She smiled as the moment arrived, she hit the ball with such force that it rocketed through the air and hit Shinn in the face even before he could comprehend what had happened. The fangirls gasped as Shinn stumbled backwards, his eyes watering from the hit. Cagalli put on a horrified face. "I'm so sorry. My bad, but it's not my fault that you're not paying attention. What kind of volleyballer are you?" She smirked slightly as she mimicked his earlier words. Shinn glared at her furiously as his face continued to sting, it was hard but not hard enough for him to sustain any injury. "You better watch out," he hissed venomously. Cagalli just smirked at him again as Athrun called everyone for the final round where they will be separated into two teams and they will play for 15 minutes.

Athrun blew his whistle and tossed Cagalli the ball, she dribbled the ball a few times before holding it out-stretched in her hand and tossed it in the air as she jumped and served the ball over. She smiled as her opponents who thought that the ball had gone out of the court muttered curses under their breath as her team cheered when the ball fall just touching the inside of the line. It was her personal favourite move as she started the next play. She served the ball over and this time her opponent managed to save it and set it to his teammate who dug under it and send it over after two touches. Cagalli squinted her eyes. The real game had begun.

After the game ended, Cagalli collapsed on the wooden floor of the volleyball court with the other boys, all of them clearly exhausted by today's tryouts. Cagalli though exhausted was happy because her team won and she had personally scored about 5 points for her team. She knew she stood a good chance of getting into first string. She looked at Athrun who was discussing the list with Kira and two other boys – a blond-haired and a silver-headed. She frowned at the blond haired as she remembered her other motive for coming to ZAFT. Could he be her twin? "All of you played very well today, but sadly we can only take in five new boys. The rest will be second string. The five are – Mitchell, Samuels, Yula, McKenzine and Johnson." He said as he smiled, "I'll let you decide if you should be happy you made it. Training starts tomorrow same time same place don't be late."

Cagalli beamed brightly when she heard her name being called. Her heart leapt for joy inside of her. She was now one step closer to beating Emirates. She jumped up after they were dismissed and was thinking of the cool and refreshing drink she was going to treat herself when she felt a hand roughly turning her around it was the vampire – I mean Shinn as she raised her eyebrows. "Congratulations Yula, I can't wait to dish you hell," he said in such a cold and deadly tone that it extinguished her euphoria instantly. She glared at him. "Bring it on," she retorted. Her eyes filled with determination. She wasn't scared of him since her revenge, he wasn't invincible; she could take whatever he threw at her. She swatted his hand off of her and walked away, pissed that her mood had been dampened.
