Back with another chapter so soon! I know it's fast but I guess I am rushing this story. XD But I don't care. If you noticed I cahnged it to M, because there is the final chapter already written, a lemon. Because I have a dirty mind and I don't care anymore. XD
Disclamier: I don't own GSD, or any songs in this chapter.
Cagalli walked down the halls of her new school. Her uniform was very much like last years. All but the fact that it had a blue tie instead of a red one. But it was all black. Girls with the same uniform on littered the grounds of the school, not daring to enter. Males dressed in button up shirts and black pants tried picking up girls or hanging in there gangs.
Cagalli didn't mind as she headed for the door. She always did. It was out of habit is guessed. But if there was one thing she never wanted to see again was the blue haired man who beat her. She who hate to see that first thing in the morning…
"Oh good morning Ms. Attha." greeted Athrun. 'DAMMIT!' Cagalli shouted in her head, but her mask of being perfect was not going to break over Athrun Zala, oh no! "Good morning Zala-kun." Cagalli greeted closing her eyes and smiling.
"Your always here so early…"Athrun commented as Cagalli sat down in her seat behind Athrun. "Well yes. I use to work for my teachers before class in middle school…" Cagalli said searching her bag for something. "I see. That's very kind of you." Athrun said smiling. Cagalli looked up at him and smiled as well.
Cagalli then noticed the slight blush on Athrun's face. 'Why is he blushing?' Cagalli wondered. But went back to her bag. "What are you looking for?" Athrun asked looking over her bag at all of Cagalli's folders. "Just my sheet music from my band…" Cagalli said softly flipping through one of her folders.
"You have a band?" Athrun asked shocked. "Sure I do. Along with Shinn." Cagalli said finally pulling the sheet music. "Shinn? Shinn Asuka?" Athrun asked, that name giving him a sour taste in his mouth. "I heard he would beat people up at his school." Athrun said thinking about the rumor remembering the gruff looking boy who would sit in the back of the class looking pissed most of the time.
"Only because they would pick on me. Shinn is my best friend." Cagalli said looking at the music she pulled out of her bag. "Who would pick on you though? Your so smart and talented. I heard you were on the track team, got them to the all stars. And you got top scores." Athrun stated remembering what others told him about Cagalli.
"Success can't make up for lack of friendship." Cagalli said softly. Athrun's eyes widened. "He's my only friend. All the others were too, I don't know. Scared or something of me. Maybe because I was here and my brother was at a private school." Cagalli mumbled as she thought. "Your brother? Kira?" Athrun asked knowing too well about his best friend who never talked much about his sister.
"Yeah. I was always smarter then Kira but my parents put him in the private school, not me. They couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe that I was smarter." Cagalli mumbled. "Why?" Athrun asked confused. "Because, I'm a girl. And boys are smarter and better and-" Cagalli said shaking her head more to think of things. "No! where not." Athrun argued. Cagalli looked a bit taken aback. Athrun was always quite. He never talked like this before. Well as far as she knew.
Athrun gasped and turned back around. "Sorry…" he said softly. "Don't worry. Just forgot what I said too." Cagalli said softly. Athrun couldn't see it but Cagalli was smiling. And Cagalli couldn't see it but Athrun was smiling.
The door suddenly slammed open and both people turned to see Shinn standing in the door way. Looking pissed as normal. "I still don't know how you made it in this school…" Athrun murmured. "I heard that!" Shinn retorted as students entered the class and sat down for class. Cagalli only smiled as Athrun snickered to his other side away from Shinn.
Cagalli blinked as she saw him for the first time, the morning sunlight gracing his face and making it shine in the sunlight. 'When he smiles…' Cagalli thought, a blush on her face though she didn't know it. Shinn who did notice this slammed his hands on her desk snapping Cagalli back to life. "Spacing out again?" Shinn asked lazily. Cagalli only smiled and nodded opening her book and took out her class work. 'Athrun Zala: enemy number one.' Shinn thought.

Stellar hummed to herself as she entered the lunch room. She spotted the normal "gang" and header for them. "Good afternoon everyone!" Stellar called placing her self down beside Kira and Lacus. Yzak Dearka and Milly sat in the other side while Shiho and Athrun were leaning on a tree not too far away.
"So Stellar….how do you like it here?" Lacus questioned her. "Yes!" Stellar said happily. "What about you Athrun?" Stellar asked but noticed Athrun wasn't even paying attention to them. His eyes were set on a blond who happened to be running track at the moment. The others turned to see the track runner too.
"Oh hey! That's Cagalli!" Kira said happily. "Let's go say hi!" Kira said grabbing Lacus's hand to follow him. The rest followed as they watched Cagalli round the bend to were they where standing leaning on the fence.
"Cagalli! Hey Cagalli!" Kira called as Cagalli slowed down and stopped to where Kira and his friends were. "Yo." Cagalli greeted. "Hey Cagalli. These are my friends. Milly, Shiho, Dearka, Yzak, Stellar, Athrun, and Lacus." Kira said quickly. "Wait! What?" Cagalli asked confused. "Let me do it." Athrun said smiling.
"My name is Athrun Zala. I know we are in class together but I really never introduced myself properly." Athrun said taking Cagalli's hand and kissing it. Cagalli blushed a deep red. "I'm all sweaty. I'm sorry." Cagalli said pulling her hand away from Athrun's.
"It's okay. I'm on the soccer team. I know." Athrun said smiling. "Hi! I'm Milly!" said a burnet with blue-green eyes. "I'm Lacus." the pink hair girl stated. "And I'm Shiho." the other burnet said with a wave.
"Shiho? Like Shiho Hahnenfuss, Shiho?" Cagalli asked her face lighting up. "Yeah." Shiho said confused. "Oh sorry I just remember racing you not too long ago." Cagalli said smiling. "Oh yeah. I remember now. You beat me by half a second." Shiho said smiling. Cagalli nodded.
"I'm Yzak." the sliver haired boy said looking away. "Yo! I'm Dearka!" greeted a blond with tan skin. "And I'm Stellar!" Stellar said happily, the blond with pink eyes. "We look alike!" Stellar said happily walking over to Cagalli. "I see." Cagalli said feeling like she was talking to a five year old.

Shinn saw Athrun running down the field. They were on the same soccer team. Shinn hated it. Cagalli was watching Athrun move across the field as well. Shinn saw something in her eyes he had never seen before. Cagalli had a weird look on her face. "I want to crush him!" Shinn mumbled from the bench. The game was now over and people were starting to leave.
Shinn looked back at Cagalli who was tapping her foot on the seat on front of her and her head bobbed a bit. Shinn smiled as he could tell she was thinking about a song she was singing in her head. Shinn stood to walk over to her but stopped dead in his tracks as he saw Athrun stop in front of her and smile.
"What are you thinking?" he asked smiling. "Just about a song." Cagalli smiled back. "Really what song?" Lacus asked happily. "Oh well Legend of a mermaid from a show." Cagalli said blushing. "Oh my goodness! I love that song!" Lacus said happily. Lacus placed her hands together over her heart and began to sing.

Cagalli blinked as she hear Lacus. She was way better then Cagalli. "Go on Cagalli join in." Kira urged, who he had walked over. Cagalli only blushed but began to sing.

Shinn who had been standing far away looked pissed as Cagalli and Lacus sang the song Cagalli would only sing for him. Shinn also noticed a sad looking blond. "Hey!" Shinn called walking over to her. "Oh yes?" the blond asked. "Why do you look so lonely?" Shinn asked. "Well, Athrun-kun. He would only ask me to do this kind of stuff. He hasn't asked me to dance for him in a while. It's just sad." the blond said softly shifting her weight here and there.
"What's your name?" Shinn asked. "Stellar. Stellar's name is Stellar." the blond known as Stellar, said. "Well duh. Hi Stellar. My name is Shinn." Shinn said and put his hand out for a shake. Stellar only looked at his hand confused. "What do you wish for?" she asked after a minute. "Huh? Oh nothing…" Shinn said looking away from Stellar with a blush.
Stellar saw his red cheeks and smiled.
"Shinn-kun is blushing!" Stellar teased smiling. Shinn blushed deeper and turned away. "I don't have to deal with this!" he said walking more. He stopped as a hand was placed over the hand that his bag was slung over. Shinn looked back and saw a sad looking Stellar. "Can Stellar come with you?" Stellar asked, "Can Stellar go with Shinn-kun?"
Shinn only blinked and looked back at Cagalli who was blushing from all the attention they had gathered from singing. Athrun sitting next to her smiling. Shinn became pissed again. "Sure. It's Shinn though. Not Shinn-kun!" Shinn said as he started walking down the street. Stellar's face smiled happily as she followed behind Shinn. "Right Stellar will remember, Shinn-kun!" Stellar said happily. "Oppos!" she said using a hand to cover her mouth. Shinn sighed. 'This was going to take a while…' he thought sighing.

The crowd had finally cleared as Kira walked Lacus home and the others went of for pizza for the victory in the soccer game. That only left Cagalli and Athrun. Cagalli looked a bit disappointed. "What wrong?" Athrun asked seeing her face. "Shinn, he left." Cagalli said softly. Athrun looked around and didn't see Stellar anywhere as well. "It looks like Stellar left as well." Athrun said.
"So are you hungry? We can go out and eat. I'll buy." Athrun tempted smiling grabbing Cagalli's hand. Cagalli blushed. "Okay how about a quick smoothie?" Cagalli asked shyly. Athrun smile and nodded. "Right away." Athrun said as he lead them both to the nearest smoothie stand.
Cagalli looked around at the couples around. Many shapes, smells, and sizes. She couldn't help but feel weird though, with Athrun holding her hand in all.
Suddenly his grip tightened. Cagalli didn't mind at first but then it started to hurt. "Athrun…" Cagalli mumbled as her eyes winced a bit. Athrun turned with a pissed look on his face. "You're…you're hurting me…" Cagalli mumbled as she couldn't handle the pain anymore.
Athrun's eyes widened and let go of her hand. She quickly pulled it back herself and rubbed it. "Cagalli. I'm sorry." Athrun mumbled. "Why are you so mad?" Cagalli asked confused. Athrun just pointed at a pizza place. Cagalli followed his finger and then she saw Shinn and Stellar chatting happily and even laughing. 'Shinn would never open up so fast…' Cagalli thought.
"Scary how we are going to lose our best friends." Athrun said in a smug way. He had other friends now. And he had Cagalli. That was all he needed. 'But what about her…?' Athrun wondered and looked back at Cagalli. Her face had dropped, her perfect mask fell and cracked open on the ground. He looked as if she was going to cry, while she was still rubbing her hand.
"I gotta go. I…I left my, my sheet music…I have to…go" Cagalli mumbled and ran off back to the school. Athrun wasn't happy at all. She had dropped her back, it opened up and papers spilled out. Athrun bent down to pick them up and saw two things that caught his eye. One was her sheet music. The other one would be the picture of her and Shinn from middle school. She was leaning back on back on Shinn, He was leaning over and she had her feet up in the air. Athrun smiled at the picture. He looked back at the window and saw Stellar plant a kiss on his cheek.
"Cagalli…" Athrun mumbled and ran after Cagalli.

Athrun entered the only class the had lights on still and saw Cagalli hunched over the desk, her homework done and now she was doing random problems in her notebook. "Cagalli…" Athrun mumbled. "Go away…" she said getting mad. "Could you ever say the words you wanted him to hear? Or you were to scared?" Athrun asked throwing the picture on her desk.
"I-I don't know." Cagalli mumbled. "Just say it…" Athrun said softly.
Well the next chapter is going to be fun. I will tie up more relations up int the next chapter. But I'm tired now. So I'm going to leave it like this. Enjoy!
