Chapter 24 Humiliation
A/N Thanks to all those who have been reviewing my chapters. I'm really grateful, and of course thank you, also to those who have been supporting me all the way.
"Where are those two lovebirds?" asked Miriallia, checking the clock hanging on the wall, which said, 7.05 a.m.
"If you're referring to Yzak and Kyo, I think they're still sleeping." replied Ryoko sweetly, clinging onto Kira's forearm, as though she was indispensable from him.
"No one's talking to you, Ryoko," hissed Miriallia coldly, her eyes reducing to slits and her tone becoming aggressive.
"You didn't pinpoint accurately who you were talking to! And I was just being polite by answering!" barked Ryoko fiercely, her nostrils flaring and her teeth clenched.
Miriallia was about to defend herself when Athrun cut her off. "That's enough, ladies. Why don't we just go and check if they're really sleeping and if they are, wake them up." said Athrun calmly, his arm snaked around Cagalli's waist.
"Whatever," muttered Ryoko under her breath, and she snuggled in closer to Kira.
The sight couldn't help but bring grief the pink-headed girl standing beside Cagalli. It really pained her to know that the one she loved most, no longer gave a damn about her.
Every night, Lacus had lain in bed, thinking of Kira. Even as she slept, her dreams were constantly about Kira, whether he was alright or if he was depressed.
"I'll go up and wake Yzak and Kyo," said Miriallia climbing up the mahogany stairway and approaching Yzak's room, which was closer to the staircase.
"Hang on! You might need my help, that friend of mine, will kick up a fuss if you don't wake him up the right way." said Dearka, trying to sound smart, instead of the usual cocky and playful guy.
The others being curious to see if what Dearka said was true, tagged along behind the tanned skinned boy.
As predicted, Ryoko and Kira stayed behind in the hall, whispering among themselves.
The moment Dearka twisted the doorknob of Yzak's bedroom door and pushed the door open, his jaw dropped at the sight.
"I just killed two birds with one stone," Dearka said, not facing the rest, and looking very stoned and stunned.
At his statement, the others crowded around the doorframe, one by one, each of their jaws dropping. Miriallia looked over at Dearka, she swore that if they were in a comic book, Dearka's jaw would've touched the floor.
There on Yzak's bed, lay Kyo and Yzak. Both were sleeping, side by side, Kyo's hand draped over him, her head leaning on his chest. Dearka whose thoughts were constantly dirty, was thinking what he would see if he lifted the blanket, as Yzak was topless and Kyo was wearing a mere bra.
Miriallia cautiously stepped into the room, and touched Kyo on the shoulder. As if on cue, Kyo jerked awake and screamed bloody murder, arousing her platinum blonde boyfriend who fell off the bed in fright.
"HUSH! It's ok, it's just me!" squealed Miriallia shrilly, her eyes shut tight, and her hands clamped over her ears.
Kyo clamed down, and fell backwards onto the bed, her chest heaving up and down. Yzak looked utterly pissed. at the sudden intrusion.
Miriallia backed away, pulling Dearka along with her, whose eyes looked like they were popping out.
The others crowded around the doorway quickly backed off all the way until their backs hit the stairway banister.
Sensing the anger rising in the young Jule, who was sitting on the floor, Kyo quickly draped her arms around him and starting whispering things into his ear.
Kyo wiped the sweat from Yzak's face with her hand and quickly went up to the doorway. "Thank you for waking us up," she said quickly, hiding behind the door as she was only wearing a black bra and a matching set of underwear.
"Miriallia, I think after school you might want to get a bottle of eye drops. Because I think Dearka is going to get sore eyes," said Athrun, shakign his head and turning to Miriallia, who just pursed her lips.
Cagalli's stomach was starting to show through her clothes, and it certainly bothered the blonde girl.
"Kira and Ryoko have already left, I just went down to get some water. I saw them walking down the street." sighed Lacus, holding a class cup in her right hand and taking a small sip.
They went back down to wait for the duo who were getting ready up in Yzak's room.
"Is it obvious?" Cagalli asked, trying to puff out her t-shirt, looking up at Athrun.
"Well, to be truthful, yes. It is becoming quite clear that you're expecting." answered Lacus, smiling ruefully at the blonde girl.
Just then, Kyo and Yzak jogged down the stairs, Kyo looking cheerful while her boyfriend looked as though he still needed some room to cool off.

As the bunch walked down the corridor of lockers, there were sniggers and laughs coming from all directions. Not an eye was not looking at Cagalli.
"What's so funny, punk?" Dearka asked, looking fiercely at another student, who just snorted and returned to doing his own things.
Cagalli just looked down at her feet and she quickened her pace along with Athrun.
"Hey baby," came a voice from opposite Kyo as she walked alongside Yzak.
Kyo paused in her tracks to find a boy walking towards her. Dyed spiky hair, with a nose ring, and dressed in black.
"Leave her alone," barked Yzak aggressively, stepping in front of Kyo protectively.
"Who're you? And what right have you to stop me?" hissed the boy fiercely.
"She's taken," replied Yzak daringly, the anger and hate flooding him once more.
Just as the boy was about to punch Yzak, Kyo slipped in-between them and caught his fist, though the impact made her stagger backwards.
"You just shut up!" barked Kyo, pushing Yzak roughly, urging him to walk on.
An "Ooooooooh" came from the crowd when the boy blew a flying kiss at Kyo, who hastily brushed it off her cheek.

Apparently, lessons weren't any better. The students in the class were still sniggering at Cagalli, some even whispering about the incident, which had just happened to Kyo, although Kyo herself didn't know it was such a big deal.
A long awaited last period finally came, Literature, Miss Jones's period.
"Kyo, I'm sure you want the library book back?" said Miss Jones, holding up the book she had taken from Kyo the other day.
Kyo embarrassedly stood up and went to retreive the book. "Kyo, are you pregnant?" Miss Jones asked.
"No, Miss Jones, Cagalli's the one who's pregnant!" squealed one of the snottiest girl in the class, Takahashi Sakura.
Humiliated, Cagalli stood up so fast, her chair fell over, and she walked briskly out of the room. And what perfect timing! Miss Snare just happened to walk past the classroom, and she poked her head in to enquire about the matter. Athrun greeted Miss Snare quickly before running after his girlfriend.
A/N What's going to happen to Cagalli? What will Miss Snare say and do? In addition, does Kyo have someone crushing on her? And worst of all, is that person daring enough to challenge Yzak? Answers in the next chapter!
