A/N: Ok, sry for the super late update and not keeping to my promise of update in 3 days. Terribly sorry! Anywayz, thanks for all the reviews! I'm so happy that my first fanfic has more than 10 reviews into the 2nd chapter! ) And yea… I promise that this chapter has more in the way of plot than the previous two chapters have been. Btw, the italics represent the person's thoughts, and it is mostly obvious who is thinking those thoughts. Yep, so with that, on with the story!
-------------------------------------------------
Chapter Three: EncounterDearka was running towards the cafeteria. It was lunch break and Kira and Athrun have both went to the library to do some research. They had asked him along, but the prospect of doing boring research when he could have been savouring the delicious cafeteria food just turned him off in more ways than one. He weaved in and out of the crowd, trying not to bang into any of the students converging in the opposite direction. As he burst through the double doors of the cafeteria, he continued running and surveyed the stalls at the same time, making out which has the shortest queue. In fact, he was too preoccupied that he didn't see the brown hair girl in front of him before –
Crash! Clank!
The porcelain bowl which up to a second ago was filled with delicious ramen, was now clanking noisily on the floor. Noodles and soup were spilled everywhere – on the floor, on the tables, on clothes. Dearka looked up to see a familiar brown haired girl looking at him with fuming eyes. Noodles and soup were spilled over her front, and the moisture revealed slightly her undergarments beneath her white and blue uniform. Dearka could not help but notice that she was pretty well filled up in the correct places. However, the pair of fiery eyes distracted him form his perverted thoughts. The girl dealt with her anger the same way her yellow haired friend would have done – with violence. She clenched her right fist and landed a powerful punch on Dearka's chest.
The impact of the punch would have floored any Natural, but Dearka was a coordinator and could regain his balance fairly quickly, staggering back a few steps before rubbing the pain on his chest.
"Asshole!"
"Hey, I'm sorry okay! I didn't mean to crash into you."
"That is not a very good excuse!"
"Erm excuse me? But it seems your uniform is a bit revealing? Perhaps you would like to go to the toilet to clean up?" smirked Dearka.
"What do you mean-" Miriallia trailed off half sentence, as she noticed that the soup has rendered her uniform more than "a bit revealing". Her cheeks blushed with the embarrassment, and trying to stop the flow of tears, she ran away. Dearka noticed two small drops of tears dropping as she ran. He felt that he has gone too far and has embarrassed her more than he had intended to. A good apology would be in good measure here. Though how? I wonder…
-------------------------------------------------
Miriallia ran and ran, wanting to put as much space as possible between herself and Dearka. That foul twisted bastard! Oh, how she wished she could - However, the emotions of embarrassment and anger were mixed with a tint of affection. No! Never! I will never like that arrogant and self-centered idiot. It's just erm… er…. erm… stress! Yep! That's it! Just stress! Nothing to worry about! She told herself in a fake cheery voice.
She went into her dormitory and took out a clean set of clothes. She began changing herself, dumping her soiled clothes into the big red basket. She looked at herself, nude, in the full-length mirror. She has, indeed, like people told her, grown in certain areas. Hearing her doorbell ring, she hastily put her fresh clothes, wondering if she has somehow got into trouble with one of the teachers. Opening the door, she found herself facing someone she hated yet liked to see, if that was in anyway possible.
Dearka was there with his tanned skin and yellow hair, holding out a brown teddy bear with the words "Sorry" on its belly. He looked genuinely sorry, and if he wasn't, he must be a really good actor.
"Erm look, I'm sorry, k? And yea, erm this bear, yea it complements your brown eyes and I … erm… yea… want to say sorry for erm what happened at the cafeteria earlier on and yea…. erm… glad to see that you have changed into clean clothes" he stammered. Damn! Since when have I lost the ability to speak coherently?
Miriallia reached out and grabbed the bear, before quipping "No thanks to you!".
She turned back into her dormitory. Before the automatic sliding door totally closed, Dearka noted that she put the bear on her bedside dresser, and thought that she must have some feelings for him… No? Maybe….
-------------------------------------------------
Kira and Athrun dashed to the classroom, two minutes after the bell rang, as they were too preoccupied with the books regarding mobile suits. Not merely interested in the battle simulator, they were also interested in real life mobile suits and usage. They reached the sex education classroom and went in. Inside, Mr Yuuna was lecturing on and on about puberty. Not really embarrassed by their lateness, Kira and Athrun too their seats next to Dearka at the back of the class.
"As puberty kicks in, the boys' penises grow bigger, and the girls have enhancements in various body parts, like the hips, breasts, etc. Both boys and girls will grow pubic hair in their pubic regions, armpits, etc." Mr Yuuna looked up, clearly expecting "ooohs" and "aaahs" from his students. He was however, deeply disappointed. Having read about these stuff, while some have even "done it" before, most of the students were not surprised by the information. On the contrary, they were greatly bored and none of them were listening.
Lacus, Cagalli and Miriallia were discussing about their various classmates.
"Hm…. Kira. He's kinda an arrogant bastard who thinks too highly of himself, even though he does have amazing piloting skills…." Cagalli pointed out.
"Yeah, he should count himself lucky that he is handsome and has a totally hot bod." Miriallia continued.
"Well, he's kinda intelligent as well, seeing as he aces in maths, science and of course pilot education, and he's sooo totally hot!" said Lacus in a dreamy sort of voice.
"Erm wakey Lacus! Now, for Athrun…" Miriallia said.
So they discussed the three boys, occasionally throwing in gossip and hearsay.
"I heard that Dearka is very experienced. He has already done it many times, so they say!" squealed Cagalli.
"What nonsense! False rumours based on nothing but bullshit!" defended Miriallia.
"Well, I'm not sure about Dearka, but she" said Lacus, pointing to a red headed girl at the front of the class, "is most definitely experienced."
"Ha, Fllay Allster is a total slut and whore. Plus she has this totally bitchy complexion." Cagalli agreed.
"Agreed. It's said that she has already more than 20 boys under her skirt!" Miriallia said enthusiastically.
"Now, Tolle, Sai and Yzak are all total nerds. They do not even know that words like "yo" and "lol" exist! They read books all day, it seems" said Cagalli.
"No wonder they got pwned by Kira and Co." said Lacus.
Riiiiiiiiing! At that point in time, the bell rang, and the class jumped out of their seats with cries of joy before heading to the auditorium to have assembly with Prinicpal Uzumi.
-------------------------------------------------
"Now, I'm going to make an announcement." Princiapl Uzumi declared. "All you second years are going to have a mini prom night, in preparation for your senior prom! As we have noticed many people being inexperienced at dancing and what not in their senior proms, we have decided to have a mini prom, so you guys and gals can gain some experience!"
This was met with many cheers and catcalls, as many students conversed with each other about the possibilities of this. Others, mainly boys, were discussing what Principal Uzumi meant by "experience".
Principal Uzumi continued, "The prom will be held on 25th December, which is Christmas Day. This is because the term would have already ended and your studies will not be affected. It will be held in the Grand Ballroom. We hope you people will take the time off and enjoy yourselves on this very special day!"
This brought even more cheers and "wow"s, as many of the students have not put so much as a foot inside the Grand Ballroom. It was out of bounds and used only for very special occasions.
Kira was thinking more along the lines of who to bring to the prom. Christmas was two weeks away, and he does not have a girlfriend as of yet. Well, seems like I just have to take more notice of the girls around me and try to find someone, by hook or by crook, to bring to the prom two weeks away…
