Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam SEED.

A/N – Finally continuing on with this fic now that it has probably been long forgotten. I had this chapter half done since the end of August last year, but then I strayed off onto something else… and some more other stuff… then I got lazy… and yeah… Blame it on my laziness.

Besides my constant rambling, there's one thing I need to explain. Since I'm not really sure whether or not other schools have the same type of schedule for high school, I just based it off of my own. So, there are five periods in a day where one period is for lunch.

1st Period 8:10-9:30
2nd Period 9:35-10:50
3rd Period 10:55-12:10 (lunch)
4th Period 12:10-1:25
5th Period 1:30-2:45

Lunch is supposed to be in either 2nd, 3rd, or 4th… but for this fic's purpose, it'll just be 3rd.

All in all, if there is anybody still confused about what this is about, feel free to tell me and I'll try to explain once more next time.

School Days I

After the fiasco involving psychotic Haros, rampaging dragons, and severely distressed teens, it is now time to move on to the next adventure in life. Currently only sixteen years of age, Kira, Athrun, Cagalli, and Lacus must attend high school.


Athrun looked at the clock in his car. He knew that he needed to make a decision and quick. If he went to pick up Kira on his way to Cagalli's as he promised, they would be late for their first class. If Cagalli was late, Kisaka would get angry and never let him drive Cagalli to school ever again, which means he won't be able to see her in the morning anymore.

Athrun was soon to approach the intersection as he thought over his options: Pick up Cagalli only and leave Kira to find a way to school on his own, or pick the both of them up making them late for school and losing the chance to see the blonde princess every morning for the rest of his high school life. Muttering a quick sincere apology, Athrun drove directly to Cagalli's.


Kira flopped down onto the ground right in front of the school entrance. He couldn't believe that so many horrible things could happen in just an hour.

First of all, his own best friend forgot about him. Kira had waited faithfully for Athrun to come pick him up as he promised, but he never came. He had waited at his front door step up until there was only five minutes before the first class started.

When Kira realized that Athrun was not coming, he ran to go catch a bus instead. He ran desperately for ten minutes until he reached the bus stop to find out that it had just went by and was already all the way down the street. Running after the bus Kira had tripped and fell flat on his face, dropping his bag.

Next, a very tough looking dog happened to pass by. Sniffing at his bag, the dog decided that it liked the smell of Kira's lunch. The dog picked up the bag and ran off with it. Screaming angrily, Kira took his anger out on the nearby flowers. Kicking and tearing, he was then whacked severely with a broom several times. The lady continued to beat him for trashing her flower garden.

Now completely bruised and covered with dirt, Kira walked slowly along the road depressed. A passing car threw a can out the window hitting him squarely in the face. Afterwards, a cat decided to use him as a scratching post and tore violently at his pants.

A variety of such incidents continued on as Kira made his way to school. The last incident to happen in the hour was when he was walking by an apartment building. Someone dropped a bottle of baby powder from the fifth floor. Luckily it didn't land on him but instead it burst open in front of him covering Kira in white dust.

And now, Kira lay face down in front of the school. Other students walked past him giving him weird looks. Flipping himself over onto his back, he now looked blankly at the brilliant blue sky filled with puffy white clouds. It was amazing how unmatched his mood and the weather were.

"Kira?" Kira recognized the voice, and felt himself burn with deep anger. "What are you doing on the ground?"

His eyes came back into focus as he looked at the two faces that stood over him: Athrun and Cagalli. A scowl formed on his face. With a battle cry, he tackled Athrun to the ground screaming, "It's all your fault!"


While walking to their class, Kira explained all the unfortunate events that had happened to him as he made his way to school, blaming it all on Athrun for not picking him up like he promised.

Athrun frowned as he listened. "But Kira, it took you an hour to get to school, right?"

"And during that hour I was ruthlessly tortured. Your point being?"

Taking a look at his watch and then back to Kira he said, "Even if I did come to pick you up, you wouldn't have been there. I drove by your area about twenty minutes ago. So if you left an hour ago…"

Kira glared at his best friend. "You missed the first class as well?"

"What? What are you talking about, Kira? Aren't we going to our first class now?"

"What do you mean? We're on to our second class now."

Pulling out his schedule, Kira pointed to his class. "See? Second period starts at…" Kira's face paled as he looked at the time.

Athrun sighed tiredly. "Second period starts at 9:30. First period starts at 8:10. And right now it's 8:05. Kira, pay more attention next time. You caused yourself all this trouble for nothing."

Staring wide eyed at his timetable, Kira was unable to utter any reply. But soon enough, Athrun's words hit him face on. "Did you just say that it was my fault for all this? This would've all happened anyways since you were planning to just forget about driving me to school this morning!"

Taking a step back Athrun replied, "Well… if you had left an hour later, then maybe all those things wouldn't have happened to you. You just had some bad luck this morning, that's all… Some very…very… bad luck…"

Athrun soon found himself backed up to the wall as Kira still approached him menacingly one step at a time. Aura of great evil and revenge emanated around him suggesting a bad fortune yet to come. Athrun gulped as he felt the heaviness of the evil atmosphere. He looked around the hall to see that there were only a few stragglers still making their way to class. After what seemed like a lifetime, the second bell signifying the start of class rang. Taking advantage of the bell Athrun made a mad dash towards the classroom leaving Kira far behind.


Making his way to the cafeteria, Kira felt a bit less stressed than before. He was actually quite glad to be in school once again, it was calming and just so normal. In fact, since he was in such a better mood, he considered forgiving Athrun for forgetting him that morning.

From the corner of his eyes he saw something pink waving towards him. Turning his head in order to get a better look, he discovered that it was Lacus and beside her was Cagalli who was sitting down already. Kira made his way over to the table when he remembered that he had lost his lunch to the dog that morning. A blank look covered his face as his anger at Athrun began to build up once more. However, his atmosphere of anger seemed to be clashing with another person's atmosphere of absolute chaos. Sensing this, Kira discovered that it was coming from his twin sister, Cagalli.

Before he could ask what was wrong, Lacus spoke up, "Kira, I made lunch for you today. I hope you like it!" From a pink bag, she pulled out a boxed lunch and placed it in the seat across from her. She smiled sweetly as she waited for him to sit down. Kira pushed all his anger aside and sat down across from the Pink Princess smiling happily as well and deciding once more that he'll forgive Athrun.

Meanwhile, Cagalli sat next to Lacus muttering to herself. "Death awaits you pal. Just you wait. Death will beat the crap out of you, and rip you into shreds… Once I get my hands on you, you'll be sorry you were ever born." With a crazed look she began to laugh wickedly.


Athrun made his way towards the main office of the school. He was told that Dearka Elthman had a very important matter to speak to him about. He merely hoped that it wasn't anything that would cause him more grief.

During his first class Kira stole his notebooks, pens, and pencils so he was unable to take any notes during class. In his next class he decided to ask the giggly girl behind him for a pencil and paper. She eagerly gave him what he wanted along with a kiss on the cheek. What was worse was that Cagalli happened to be in that class as well. Having seen the giggly girl giving him a kiss, she stomped towards him and promptly punched him in the face, ripped the paper to shreds, and cracked the pencil into quarters. After her little rampage, she stormed out of the class slamming the door behind her. When Athrun tried to run after her the teacher stopped him, and then lectured him about girls and how fragile they were when it came to love. Athrun's face turned beet red as the teacher went on in front of the class that boys should not be such players and should only stick with one girl because in the end you'll lose them both if you didn't.

Athrun sighed as he reached the main office. When he entered, the secretary shoved the phone into his hands, growling furiously.

"Hello?" Athrun said, frowning as he heard Dearka's lively voice. He listened as his friend continued on and on about complete nothingness. After a few minutes, Dearka finally told Athrun his plans.

"What?" Athrun screamed into the receiver.

"It's just as I said, Athrun. How much more straightforward can I be?"

"W-well… it's just so sudden! What I really want to know is the reason why you decided that."

"Details, details. The small details don't matter. Well anyways, we'll be seeing you soon buddy. Bye."

"Wait! Dearka!" Athrun sighed tiredly as he heard the phone on the other side go dead. "There has got to be some reason behind this." Putting the phone back down, he left the office quickly and made his way to the cafeteria. Things were already hectic as they were on their first day of school, and things were just about to get a lot more complicated in the future school days to come.

A/N – BOO! This was originally only supposed to be a set up chapter… sort of… But yes, small details don't matter! So anywayz… another poorly written chapter by me. Meh. Either way, I just hope that everybody has read and enjoyed it. And thanks to everybody who had reviewed the last chapters that had been posted many, many, many months ago. And if you hated this chapter or this story… well… you're more than welcome to offer suggestions on how I can improve it. Flame if you must, but at least have a decent reason behind it and I'll be more than happy to receive it.
