Chapter 2

Collision

Lacus POV

I called Kira the other day. It felt really great being able to talk to with him again after all these years. It felt like a big whole in my heart was suddenly filled once again. Although something about him felt strange. I can't explain it, I just can't.

I told my best friend Gwen about Kira, she was excited to meet him. Now that I think about it… Markus will probably try something stupid once he finds out about Kira.

End Lacus POV

Angel Lake High

1st period: Math

As students were seated for the morning bell, the teacher Murrue Ramius walked in with an violet-eyed new student following quickly behind. "Alright class, we have a new student today, please welcome Kira Yamato" Murrue said.

"Please take a seat next to Gwen" Gwen raised her hand to grab Kira's attention. Kira took his seat as Murrue began teaching.

"Hi" Gwen whispered. Gwen had long blond hair and green eyes. A lot of guys from school were always trying to ask her out. She was a really attractive girl to everyone.

"Hi" Kira whispered back.

"You're Lacus' childhood friend right?" Gwen said.

"Yeah, are you Lacus' friend too?" Kira asked.

"That's right" Gwen said. Gwen spent the entire class flirting with Kira. The guys in the class were glaring with envy; after all, Gwen was one of the most beautiful girls in school.

"So…Kira, do you have a girlfriend?" Gwen asked.

"Well, I did" Kira said.

"Eh, what happened?" Gwen asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"I had to leave her once I decided to come here. I know long-distance relationships almost never work out." Kira said, his thoughts seeming to stray for a minute.

"I see, well sorry to hear that"

"Na, I'm fine I think she was cheating on me anyways" Kira giggled trying to lighten the mood. Gwen did the same.

'Oh god…he's really cute' Gwen said mentally as she unknowingly kept staring at Kira, feeling her eyes start to wander. The bell rang at that moment, dismissing the students as they all start out.

Gwen walked out with Kira. "Kira what class do you have next?" Gwen asked. Kira took out his schedule and started to look for his next class. Gwen peeked at his schedule.

"You have English, I'll show you to your classroom" Gwen took Kira's arm and went down the hall, Kira couldn't help but blush, everyone was watching the two of them as they walked through the halls.

"This is it; I have my last class with you. But I'll probably see you tomorrow, bye" Gwen winked. Kira blushed. "T…Thank you" Kira said nervously as she blushed.

Kira walked into the class that barely had anyone in it, he told the teacher who he was and he placed him in an empty seat.

Period 2: English

Kira sat down next to a guy who seemed to have his head docked down to the desk. Kira immediately recognized him "I don't believe it, Athrun?" Kira questioned as the blue haired boy raised his head.

"K…Kira!" Athrun called out as he couldn't believe his old friend was sitting right next to him.

"It really is you Athrun! I can't believe it, I never thought I'd meet you here" Kira said.

"Same here, I never knew you lived in this country?" Athrun said.

"I just moved here last week" Kira said. Athrun raised his arm and put Kira in a headlock "So how have you been" Athrun said. Kira struggled to get out from Athrun's grip. As class began, students began to fill up the desks.

Athrun was probably Kira's best friend. He became good friends with Kira right after Lacus' disappeared from his life. After four years of Kira and Athrun being best friends, Athrun moved with his family to Orb, but unlike Lacus, Athrun still came in to contact with Kira time to time.

Athrun and Kira sat in the back, subtly exchanging looks and faces to each other about Markus whenever the teacher took his eyes off of them. Keeping his laughter to himself, Kira glanced over at Athrun, curiously.

"Ha-ha so Athrun what did he do to you?" Kira asked.

"He didn't do anything it's just that, he thinks his girl friend is the most beautiful thing in the world, if anyone tries getting too close to her, he goes totally berserk and beats them up" Athrun said. "I almost wish he would so I'd have a reason to finally set the guy straight" Athrun laughed.

"Mr. Zala are you having fun back there, cause if you want, the principles office is a much more satisfying place to laugh" the teacher stated.

"Oh…sorry" Athrun apologized as he lowered with head with a hint of embarrassment.

After the bell rung to indicated the end of the period the class began to evacuate. Athrun walked out with Kira "So Kira what class you got now?" Athrun asked

"I think I have lunch now…" Kira said as he quickly picked up his schedule and glanced over it "Yep, I've got lunch"

"Cool, so do I come on" Athrun said.

Everyone sat down for lunch. Lacus sat with her best friend Gwen. Athrun and Kira were buying something in the café to eat.

Marcus however was in the center of the café playing some American gladiator crap. Basically two guys stand on a bench and you got to force the opponent to fall with a large padded stick.

Kira and Athrun got their food and were headed outside when Markus suddenly beat an opponent. Markus walked up to the guy who was just beaten by him. "Next time you think you can steal a kiss from my girl think again" Marcus took out some change and dropped it in front of the guy he humiliated "Here's some change, you can use it more then I can" The kid ran away from humiliation.

"Man that guy is such a jerk" Kira said. "Tell me about it" Athrun said trying to keep his attention away from the degrading sport.

Marcus jumped back on the bench "Is there anyone else that wants to challenge me, if you win you get to steal a kiss from my beautiful girlfriend Lacus!" Marcus announced.

"What, Lacus is going out with him?" Kira said surprised. 'I can't believe it… why would Lacus go out with someone like… him?' Athrun glanced at Kira "You know her?"

"Yeah I do. You remember that friend of mine I told you about when I was five years old? That was Lacus"

"Wow, really?" Athrun said.

"How can she go out with a guy that acts like this" Kira said.

"I'm going to go and give this guy a lesson, I've had enough" Kira handed his food and bag to Athrun.

"Kira wait, that guy is…" Athrun tried to persuade him but Kira's thoughts were way too focused on what was right in front of him.

Gwen looked over to Lacus who was watching Markus "Lacus, he's a little over dramatic sometimes huh?" Gwen said.

"Yeah, I know, I hate it when he does this, am I a bad person for going out with him?" Lacus asked.

"Lacus you're not a bad person it's just…" Gwen stopped and looked at who was approaching Marcus.

"What is it Gwen?" Lacus questioned "Isn't that Kira?" Gwen said. Lacus looked over and saw Kira approaching Marcus

'Kira…what are you doing, are you going to challenge Marcus' Lacus said mentally.

"Oh what's this do we have a new challenger!" Marcus said. Kira looked calm as he stood in front of Markus "So, you've seen the rules first one to the floor loses, and if you win you get a kiss from my girl" Markus said.

"Can we change it?" Kira asked. "Change it?" Marcus questioned "Not that the thought of kissing your girlfriend isn't tempting, but I'd rather get some cash in on this, that alright with you?" Kira asked a faint smile on his face.

"Alright sure, how much money you got?" Marcus asked

"I've got $15" Kira said "Alright I'll see your $15" Markus took Kira's $15 and put in his $15 and handed it to Mr. La Flaga who was supervising the café game.

"Isn't this illegal?" Mwu said. Kira and Marcus took their positions.

"Alright began" Mwu said

The fight progressed. Kira and Marcus collided into each other with both there sticks in tangled with each other. Kira kept a calm and cool composure as he matched Marcus move for move with ease.

"You're pretty strong" Marcus said as Kira snapped up his stick to counter Marcus again.

"Huh…? You mean you're actually trying?" Kira said a look of surprise on his face.

"Watch you're mouth, don't get cocky on me!" Marcus said. Marcus was starting to get pissed off now, he went full force on Kira. But Kira wasn't being pushed back at all. He didn't even seem to be trying!

'What's with this guy!' Marcus said mentally.

Kira effortlessly pushed Marcus back as he tripped onto the floor. Marcus fell down with a look of complete shock on his face. The entire café was in a state of shock. Marcus was the captain of the football team and one of the strongest guys in school too. He shouldn't have lost.

Kira then took his money and took $1 dollar out and dropped it in front of Marcus "Here, you can use it more then I can. And you better start learning some respect for your girl if you're ever gonna start boasting like that again." Kira walked away from a very stunned Marcus. The entire café was quiet.

Kira walked out of the café with Athrun "Kira that was amazing, no one has ever stood up to him before" Athrun said.

"Really… well, I can't stand people like that anyway. He wasn't that tough though"

"It's only half day today, you want to do something?" Athrun asked.

"Really school is done?" Kira asked

"Yup" Athrun said.

"Sure" Kira was stopped from behind as a bunch of people went to congratulate him for his success.

"That was amazing, how did you do it"

"Do you have a girl friend?"

"Where are you from?"

Questions were being popped like crazy. It seemed like people were starting to really like Kira a lot now.
