OMG! I've been like, so busy latley... I have no life of my own anymore -tear- . Anyway! heres your chapter, I made it longer cause its been a while since my last update.

Just to make sure something is straight. I got an e-mail wondering just how old Athrun was, cause it wasn't specified enough in the last chapter. He's in highschool, in the same grade as Cagalli to be more exact. So hes NOT an adult or anything like that :D Make sence?

If you have any more questions feel free to e-mail/post a reviwe and I'll get back to you on that.

Anyway, heres your next chapter.

and No, I don't own Gundam Seed/ Destiny

PLEASE REVIEW!

Chapter 4 : OH HELL!

"AHHH! I'm going to be so late" a blonde yelled to herself mentally as she made a mad dash out the front door of her apartment . Kicking aside a newspaper in the process, which read 'Destiny High Up in Flames' in bold letters. Quickly glancing at her watch she noticed that she was already five minutes late. "Why did my alarm clock pick of all the days, TODAY to not go off" she thought as she rounded a corner, coming to the last straight stretch to the school.

Upon running into the school, she made a quick stop by her locker before bolting up to her first class. Taking a deep breath she walked into the classroom as causally as possible.

"Ah, Miss Attha, it's about time you showed up" the teacher said in a strict tone. "Mrs. Ramius would like to see you in her office. I presume you know where to go?"

"Yes Miss" Cagalli said apologetically. Setting her stuff down on her desk, she quickly walked back out of the class, ignoring the suspicious glares of her classmates. Walking back down the three flights of stairs she had previously walked up not even five minutes ago, she sighed contently. Looking around at her surroundings, she remembered how grand everything looks when she first came to the school. Now it was just an ordinary school to her. Pushing open the office doors, she proceeded to the front desk, were an elderly women was typing ferociously at her keyboard.

"Hi I'm here to see Mrs. Ramius." The blonde said causally, quickly getting the elder's attention.

"Yes, she's been expecting you. She's in that room over there" she said pointing to a door behind her. "Just go straight in"

"Okay, Thanks" Cagalli said, taking quick steps as if trying to make up for loss time. Gently pushing open the door the blonde peered in.

"Your late." Stated a monotone voice.

"Ah, Yes….Sorry" Cagalli said apologetically, walking into the large room.

"It's okay, take a seat" the brunette said politely. "So how was your first two weeks? I heard you did well in the track meet yesterday"

"It's great, I've met some really great people, and I can easily find all my classes and-"

"That's great to hear! Say you wouldn't mind helping out a new student for a while? Since you've know where everything is" the principle said, jumping at the opportunity.

"Yeah… but-"

"Great then its decided! You'll be assisting Athrun Zala for the next week or two" the brunette chimed happily. Pushing a few papers on her desk into a file.

"Athrun Zala?" the blonde pondered, unable to remember where she had heard the name before.

"Zala, I'll be giving you the same schedule as Cagalli so it'll make things easier." The principle said, typing a few things into her computer. A few minutes later the printer spewed out the schedule.

"He's here?" the blonde said, snapping from her thoughts. Quickly scanning the room, until her eyes landed on a certain midnight haired boy, sitting at the back of the room.

"Oh Hell" the blonde cursed under her breath. Just what had she gotten herself into. Watching the man put a bookmark in that book he was reading.

"Here you go" the brunette women said, standing up and walking over to the blue haired boy and handing him the piece of paper. "I'll be calling of your teachers to give them a heads up about you. Any questions?" she said, sounding as if she was in a rush.

"Nope, I think I'll manage" he said politely.

"Okay, then you two can head up to class now." The principle said quickly ushering them out of the room, shutting the door behind them.

"She was in a rush today" the blonde said scratching her head before walking out of the office, the blue haired boy following close behind.

"Of course she's in a rush today" Athrun said in monotone.

"And you know why…?" the blonde said in a challenging tone.

"Figures, you wouldn't know…." He said, yawning.

"and what's that suppose to mean?" she said, now glaring at him.

"It's been all over the news the last day in a half." He said plainly, continuing in making his way up the stairs.

"In case you haven't notice, but I've been busy the last few days!" she retorted heatedly, referring to the track meet and the fact she was late this morning.

"Ah yes, little Miss tardy. Or should it be Miss Clumsy?" he said tauntingly. Turning around, Cagalli picked up her pace, not daring to utter another word, for it be used against her. The blonde was fuming mad by the time the time they reached class. Upon entering the room the blonde immediately stalked off to her desk, leaving the blue haired teen, wondering what to do.

"Ah, Mr. Zala. You're just in time. I just got the new seating plan worked out." The teacher said, looking down at a piece of paper. "From now on you will be setting behind Cagalli."

"Huh?!" the blonde said usually loud. "B-but, Lacus sits there!" Cagalli said out loud.

"She, used to sit there, I moved her elsewhere" the teacher said.

"B-b-but…"

"No buts, this seating plan is final" the teacher said in a strict tone. The blonde merely took the horrid answer, refusing to defy the teacher. "Speaking of Lacus, where is she?" the blonde whispered to Miriallia, realizing that the seat behind her was vacant when she had come in, and was no where to be seen in the classroom.

"She got called down to the office, a few minutes before you got back." Miriallia said softly.

"Really?" the blonde muffled, remembering that she had saw no one on her way back to class. "Guess she took a different way then me" Cagalli thought, brushing off the topic.

"Okay class! Let's get back to what we were doing before we were interrupted." The teacher said, turning back to the chalk board. About mid way through class, Lacus returned, with a rather young looking girl following close behind.

Near the end of the class, the teacher had given the remaining time to chat. Grabbing her binder, Cagalli made her way over to Lacus, Miriallia close behind.

"So who's your new friend? " Mir, asked curiously, indicating the young blonde haired girl sitting behind.

"This is Stellar, she's one of the many new transfer students" Lacus said cheerfully.

Beep !

"Oh! The class is over already?"Miriallia said, shocked. "Well, it was very nice to meet you" the auburn haired girl said with a bright smile, before leaving the room. Sighing to herself, Cagalli left as well. Taking her seat for English, she looked out the window. Though she had a nagging feeling, like she had forgotten something, or someone.

"Dammit all" she cursed as she realized that the annoying blue haired teen was no where to be seen. Looking quickly at the clock she realized that she had a few minutes before the late bell would ring. Walking back out of the class room, she took a quick glance down both sides of the hallways. Though with her luck, he was not to be seen. After walking around the whole third and not coming across him, she took a deep breath to calm her now agitated nerves. "Just where the hell did he go" she frowned, as she made her way down to the 2nd floor.

Beep!

"and now I'm late" Cagalli grumbled as she continued the walking. It wasn't till she had walked around the whole 2nd level before she had spotted him. "Hey!" she said, as she picked up her pace to catch him. Immediately the midnight haired man, turned around to face the angry blonde. "How'd you manage to get all the way down to this floor when our classroom is practically right beside the first!" she said in a somewhat angry tone.

"Well it would have helped if-"

"You be quiet, were late. Now get moving" she said pointing to the stairs.

"…"

"Amazing…were not late. The teachers not here yet" Cagalli said as she walked into the classroom, taking a seat in her usual desk.

"And where am I too sit?" He asked as he looked around the room.

"Anywhere, I don't think the teacher cares that much." The blonde said plainly.

"Okay then" he said, as dropped his books on the desk behind Cagalli.

"Why can't you go sit somewhere else? On the other side of the room perhaps?" Cagalli said bluntly, twisting around in her seat so she could face him.

"And just where is a free seat?" he said, as he picked up his book, and opened it.

"You're kidding" she said, as looked around the room. It was true, not a single seat was vacant. Except the one beside her, which was Mia's seat. On cue, Mia had walked into the room.

"Hey Cagalli" Mia said cheerfully, as she took her seat.

"Hey Mia, your finally back" Cagalli said, looking for anything to do at the moment.

"Well, I was back yesterday, but you weren't here so, I guess so" Mia said, as she turned to face the blonde only to have something interesting to catch her eye. "Athrun?! Is that you?" the pink haired impersonator said, her face lighting with joy.

"Huh" the midnight haired man said, looking up from his book. His face suddenly becoming pale as he faced Mia.

"Remember me?!" the pink haired girl said enthusiastically.

"How could I not" Athrun thought, recalling the memories. "Yeah, Mia right?" he said, putting his bookmark back into his book.

"You know each other" Cagalli said in disbelief.

"Yeah, be went to school a while back" Mia said happily. "We used to be the best of friends in middle school".

"If you can even call it that. You forced me to, and dragged me against my will" he thought, as the two girls continued to talk to each other.

"So he's just transferred?" Mia asked.

"Yeah, I get the oh so lovely job of being his tour guide" the blonde said, as she glared at him from the corner of her eyes.

"Really!? Lucky you" the pink haired girl said joyfully

"Lucky? Are you insane?" Cagalli thought, shocked at what she had said.

"Athrun, we should really get together one time and get caught up. A lot must of happened during our time apart." Mia said, looking back over the blue haired teen, whose mouth seemed to drop at her statement.

"Ah NO! I mean, I'm really busy these days, it mig-"

"That sounds like a great idea Mia. It's always fun to chat about the old times with friends, right Athrun?" Cagalli said with a smirk. Obviously the blonde had caught on that Athrun had not like to, in any way, be around Mia, seeing how it was completely written over his face. Although it was still funny to see that Mia, had ignored all these signs and continued happily talking on. Athrun's jaw dropped further at the blondes words. She had him completely pinned, cornered. What could he say?

"Eh, Y-Yah" he managed to choke out.

"So you agree!" Mia said, overly happy at the response. "I'll start planning something right away!"

"Great…I can't wait." Athrun said, less then enthusiastic about the idea.

"Clap Clap"

"Okay Class! Sorry I'm late! Time to get back down to work!" Mr. LaFlaga said, as he walked in, setting his brief case on his desk.

XXX

"How could you do that!? Why did you have to give her hope?" Athrun said as he followed the blonde down to her locker.

"Let's just call it for payback for now" the blonde said with a smile.

"Payback for what exactly?" he said in disbelief.

"Payback for your lame, and annoying behavior not to mention the smart ass comments" Cagalli said, as she walked down the flight of stairs.

"Your kidding." The midnight haired teen said, frowning at the turn of events. "How did you even know 'that' in the first place?"

"Lucky guess, and the fact that everything shows on your face" Cagalli said, as she stopped in front of her locker, dumping her books in the locker.

"Hey Cagalli!" Miriallia said, as she too, opened her locker, quickly followed by Lacus who did the same. Her new shadow trailing behind her. (by shadow I mean her transfer student who she's guiding)

"Hey guys" the blonde said, as she locked up her locker.

"How was second class?" the pink haired girl asked.

"Great, it went really well." The blonde said, as looked over at Athrun who seemed to slouch a bit more.

"Oh ya! Where can I put my books, I don't want to carry them around all lunch" the blue haired teen said, gesturing at the pile of binders and books in his hands.

"In your locker perhaps?" the blonde said bluntly.

"I don't have a locker yet" he retorted.

"That sucks for you then, doesn't it?" She said as she turned to face her two friends.

"Cagalli… be nice" scorned Lacus as Stellar gently placed her books in Lacus's locker.

"Awe, your no fun" Cagalli pouted as she reopened her locker.

"Okay, now is everyone happy?" Cagalli asked impatiently, as she finished locking up her locker for the second time.

"Yup! Now lets get moving" Miriallia chimed happily, leading the way down to the cafeteria.

"Hey! Cagalli! Wait up" came the sound of a familiar voice. Cagalli could literally feel a vein pop in her forehead. How long did it take to make it from her locker to the cafeteria in the first place!. Turning around she came face to face with Yuna.

"What do you want?" Cagalli said agitatedly, glaring at the purple haired man.

"Can I talk to you…. Errr privately…" he said, as he looked at the group of people surrounding the blonde.

"Sure" Cagalli sighed as she turned around to face her friends. "You guys can go on ahead, I'll be down in a minute" After her friends had disappeared from sight, the blonde turned back to Yuna.

"What did you want?" she said in a less then friendly tone.
