Normal POV- Lunch Time
Sighing, Yzak silently followed Dearka. "Remind me why we're doing this again?" he whispered to Dearka, who had been kneeling down behind a table.
"Shut up, moron; she'll hear us!" Dearka had this intense look of concentration written on his face.
Sighing once more, Yzak watched Fllay as she walked up to a guy at his locker.
"Heh, lookie Dearka. Our girl's already putting the moves on a guy. Guess that means you'll lose your bet," snorted Yzak.
"Not if I can help it…" mumbled Dearka. "Hey, wait, isn't that that Yamato kid? He's in our dorm, isn't he?"
"What, Kira?" Squinting at the brown haired guy, Yzak raised an eyebrow. "Hey, you're right. But what does that have anything to do with it?"
Grinning, Dearka just patted his friend's shoulder. "Just you wait and see…Ok, that's enough for today! Let's go back." With that, Dearka turned back and walked to the classroom, but not before Yzak could notice the evil grin on his face.
Two Days Later
Walking into his 3rd period class, Kira looked around the room. Over in the corner, he spotted Athrun at a table sitting next to a pink haired girl. When Athrun waved him over, Kira headed to join them when he was ambushed by a certain red haired girl.
Kira's POV
"Hey Kira!" Turning around, my eyes fall on this girl Fllay, who rather scares me a bit. It's only my 3rd day at school, and already she's tried to get me to either sit with her or walk her to her room at least 4 times. Pulling on my arm, she says, "Here, come sit with us!" Blushing, I look back at Athrun, who seems to have this amused expression on his face.
"Uh, that's ok Fllay. Uhm, I think my friend's waving me over to that table." Pointing at Athrun's table, I quickly slipped his arm out of her grasp.
"Who, that girl??" Narrowing her eyes, Fllay glared at the pink haired girl in the corner.
"Uh, no, it's my friend Athrun. I'll-I'll see you later!" Rushing away from her just as the bell rings, I sigh in relief and plop myself down.
"Nice one, Kira. A ladies man already, huh?" Grinning, Athrun whispers to me just as our professor calls for attention.
"Aw, shut up. That girl's been after me for a while, almost seems to be stalking me or something." I shook my head as the professor handed out the assignment.
"This project is a synch." Laughing as he looks over our tech assignment, Athrun starts to doodle on his paper. The girl beside him whispers in his ear, and he suddenly looks up, and smacks his forehead. "Sorry Lacus, of course. Kira," he turns to me. "This is my girlfriend, Lacus Clyne. Hah, sorry, I totally forgot to introduce you two. And this is Kira Yamato, my old friend from grade school. I haven't seen him in ages, because he moved in 4th grade."
"Uh, nice to meet you, Ms. Clyne. I go to Fortune High now."
"It's my pleasure, Mr. Yamato." With that, she smiled at me, and for some reason, I panicked and knew that my face was burning up. Trying to cover it up, I ducked down into my bag to dig out some pencils. Why was I embarrassed, and blushing? Just her smiling at me made me turn red!
"Any-anyway, let's get this assignment down now; maybe we'll have some free time later."
"Sure, you guys wait here, I'll get the materials." With that, Athrun got up and left me alone with the extremely beautiful Lacus Clyne.
"Wa-wait!"
"Huh?" He turned around to look at me questioningly.
Blushing again, I quickly tried to cover up. "Uh, nothing, just don't forget the ice water. I mean, we'll need to cool of the metal after we meld it, right? It-it just doesn't mention it in the instructions."
Looking down at his paper, he responded, "Oh yea, you're right. No problem." With that, he left us alone, me blushing like crazy, and Lacus politely smiling.
It was a weird silence, but finally I burst out the worst sentence possible.
"SohowlonghaveyoubeendatingAthrun?" Ok, there were 3 things wrong with this sudden outburst. First, I had just met her. Second, this was a personal question that had nothing to do with me. And third, I had spoken so quickly that everything was jumbled, therefore forcing me to repeat myself.
"Hmm?" she tilts her head at me, smiling politely. Oh my god, I think I can feel the heat from my cheeks. What's this feeling? Why am I so flustered when she even looks at me?
"I-I mean, have you guys been together long?" Mentally slapping myself for being so forward, I fiddled with my pencil.
Slowly, as if thinking of the right words to say, Lacus responded, "Well, it's been a little more than a month now. It was actually arranged by our mothers."
"Oh, I see. That must be a little strange."
"Haha, I guess it might, especially since we're old family friends." Laughing a little as she said so, the tension in the air seemed to fade a little bit.
We talked for a bit; I mean, it's not like Athrun was going to take the whole day getting supplies. Things were going pretty good, considering I stopped blushing and we actually had a normal conversation.
"Hey, what's going on?" Suspiciously, yet in a joking manner, Athrun appeared with the needed materials.
"Oh, nothing…just telling Lacus here some of the things you used to do as a child."
Sneakily smiling at Athrun, I added, "you know, like that time when as a dare, you dressed up like a girl and came to school like that…or the other time, when you, well, you know what I'm talking about."
Laughing, I really enjoyed the look on his face as he turned red. Sputtering, he said, "You-you, t-told her that other dare?"
"Ahaha, don't sweat it! I didn't tell her anything. Ahahahaha, you should see the look on your face!"
"So, dressing up like a girl? Does that include makeup and everything too?" Laughing behind her hand, Lacus threw me a look for confirmation.
"Kira, you'd better not tell her anymore!" Grinning wickedly at me, he threw some ice (for the ice water) at me.
Catching it, I flicked some cold water from my hands at Lacus, who, of course laughing, tried to cover herself. Then, Athrun got more ammo and we ended up having a sort of mini-flicking-water fight. Only when the professor yelled at us, did we start our project, AFTER I got up to get more ice water.
Tarren's POV
So I'm sitting in my music theory class, and watching this beautiful boy as he removes his books from his bag and places them in front of him on his desk. It's only been my 3rd day here, but I've noticed him right away. Unfortunately, my stalking skills leave much to be desired and so far, I've only learned one thing: his name is Nicol.
Flashback to the first day
I glance at my watch. 11:40 am. Oh well, I have some time to myself, before my 12:00 pm class. Err, but there's no where to go. I guess I'll arrive to class early. I get to my classroom ok, but there's already someone there. All I can hear is this beautiful music coming from my music theory classroom. Peeking inside, I see this green-haired boy at the piano with his eyes closed. I quietly enter the room and sit down in the far back. His music is so soothing; I can't help but be overwhelmed by it all. As a fellow musician myself, I notice his mastery of the keys.
I close my eyes and let the warm music wash over my body. His piece speaks of sorrow, but also of hope. He let's his final chord waver in the room. As I open my eyes, I clap loudly.
He seems a little startled at the audience, but he smiles at me and takes a small bow. He tilts his head slightly and asks, "Did you enjoy it?"
"It was amazing! Who's the composer? I'll have to download it when I get home!"
Shyly it seems, he answers, "I am. I composed it just now."
I can feel my jaw drop. "But that's awesome! I'm Tarren, by the way. I play the saxophone, but I'm no where as talented as you are!"
He walks towards me, smiling. "I'm Nicol; it's nice to meet you. Thanks for your compliment, but I'm nothing special."
"I can't believe you'd even say something like that; you're incredible!" I can't help but rant, because his beautiful eyes just seem to sparkle at me. I open my mouth to ask him whether or not he'd like to grab something to eat afterwards, but the teacher walks in on us followed by some other students.
"Oops, I guess I lost track of time totally." Unfortunately Nicol turns to greet the teacher and then heads back to his seat.
After that, what could I do? I nodded and went back to my seat.
Present, Tarrens POV
After that incident, nothing really happened, to my disappointment. I didn't want to seem too pushy, so I just left things alone. Ugh, he hasn't really talked to me since that day. I mean, he smiles and nods in my direction when I see him in the beginning of class, but other than that, nothing.
Ugh, I know it's early, but is it too much to hope for something from Nicol?
