A/N: I know I already thanked Pchu in the last chapter for pointing the mistake I made, but I want to thank you again! Hehe. Oh and I'm so happy that all of you guys think my story is unique! Thank you!

Chapter 3: My real identity

Cagalli walked along the empty street holding her school bag. She sighed and stared at her shadow in front of her as she slowly walked.

"What am I gonna do now?...I don't think I can ever go back to that school….now that he knows…." Cagalli thought quietly to herself. She stopped walking and mentally hit herself.

"UGH! I JUST HAD TO TRIP IN THE BATHROOM AND FALL ON HIM! I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!" Cagalli didn't even realize she spoke out loud and quickly put a hand over her mouth. Then something just hit her mind.

"Shoot, I left my book in the classroom….and the homework is due tomorrow. Just great." Cagalli sighed and she turned around to head back to her school but saw Athrun standing in front of her.

Cagalli's eyes widened and her legs felt as if they were going to collapse. Her body stiffened as she stared at his face.

"In second thought, homework isn't that important." Cagalli turned around and walked full speed without saying a word.

"Hey wait! Cagalli!" Athrun called out but Cagalli didn't listen. Then, she felt a tug on her elbow. Cagalli stopped but didn't turn around to look at him.

"What do you want?" she asked hesitantly.

"Can we talk for a moment?"

"Talk about what? I have nothing to talk about." Cagalli knew he was going to say something about what happened this morning, but to her surprise, he walked in front of her and handed her something. It was a book.

Cagalli looked up and saw Athrun smiling. "You left this in the classroom." Cagalli took the book in her hand. "Thank you….and, I'm sorry I just walked off…I was just….nervous I guess…" She tried to not look at him while speaking.

"It's ok…but, ugh…I never thought you were the type of person who talks to themselves." Athrun said while laughing a bit. Cagalli just then remembered what she said out loud before bumping into Athrun. She blushed slightly in embarrassment.

"Oh that….I didn't even realize I was doing it…."

Athrun smiled again and looked up at the orange sky. "It's getting pretty late, we better head home now." Well, see you tomorrow." Athrun turned around to leave but Cagalli called out his name.

"Athrun?..."

He turned back and saw Cagalli's head down. "Is something wrong?" he asked.

"Athrun…could you please tell Mr. Onajiwa I won't be coming to school tomorrow?...and probably for the rest of the school year." Cagalli spoke in the gentlest tone.

"Huh? But why Cagalli?"

Cagalli looked up feeling a bit angry. "What do you mean why? You're acting like noting happened this morning!"

"Then can I ask?"

Cagalli's angriness turned into confusion. "Uh, sure?" she replied not even knowing what Athrun was talking about.

"Why did you come to a boys' academy in the first place?" Athrun noticed Cagalli confusion died down now that he asked her.

"Oh….that…" Cagalli sat down on a bench near by and Athrun saw next to her.

"I have another secret, but you have to promise you will never tell anyone."

Athrun nodded as he waited for her to continue.

"I am the daughter of the head representative of ORB." For some reason, she felt a bit guilty that she didn't tell him in the first place now that they were friends.

Athrun's eyes widened in shock. "You're….Izumi Athha's daughter!" Cagalli nodded without looking at him.

"For the past 2 months, ZAFT soldiers kept lingering around our house and they still are. I even saw them around the school I used to go to. My father was worried something might happen to me so, he had me transferred to a boy's academy. ZAFT already knows I'm a girl, so the last place they would ever look is a school only full of boys."

Athrun face was still in shock. He didn't know what to say. "How can this be?...I wasn't even aware that Izumi Athha had a daughter. And all this time, I thought their last names were just a coincidence."

"I don't know why ZAFT soldiers are following me, I'm not even sure of the reason why I got transferred. Father kept telling me that he would tell me that reason when I turn eighteen, that I would be able to make a difference…" Cagalli looked at Athrun. "Does that answer your question? I'm not a crazy girl who just got transferred into your school just for the fun of it."

Athrun tried to smile as he stood up. "Thanks for telling me Cagalli, but please, come to school tomorrow, I won't tell a soul about any of this to anyone."

Cagalli sighed in relief. "Thanks Athrun, you're truly a good friend. Oh and I'm really sorry I took so much of your time.

"No, believe me, it was worth it." Athrun then walked off heading towards his home.

"I'm not so sure that we can be friends, now that I know who you are Cagalli…." Athrun looked up at the darkish sky. "I'd better ask father about this." He said out loud.

A/N: I'm really sorry that this chapter was so short! The point was to tell you Cagalli's reason of coming to Athrun's school and giving a bit of Athrun's secret out. And no, Athrun is not a bad guy, trust me.
