Hiya! I'm back. I'm so sorry for updating very, very late. Things got complicated and I got very busy. Over the last weeks, I had to prepare so that I can pass my exam and interview for dentistry proper. Yup! That's my course.

Disclaimer: For the third time, I don't own GS. I really wish I do…

Another villain will mess with Cagalli's life! Athrun and Cagalli will meet at last. So here it is the chapter 3 of Heart on Two. ENJOY! SPREAD THE LOVE OF ASUCAGA!

Chapter 3:

Orb University, a private school preferred by kids from rich families. So, why am I here again? Cagalli was walking around the corridors of her new school. She had just picked her books from her locker and was finding her way back to her room. As she was about to turn to the corner she spotted four guys talking.

"Hey Athrun, how's your stay here at Orb?" asked a brown haired boy.

"Not quite well. Somehow, I couldn't find something interesting here," a guy referred to as Athrun replied. He had blue hair, emerald green orbs not to mention a really handsome face.

"Yo, come with us after school and we'll bring you to a place you would like. You can meet new people there, and oh yeah, pretty girls too," said a blonde haired man.

Certainly, this place is for idiots too. She hadn't meant to listen to their conversation. It's just that they were standing in Cagalli's way.

"I don't think so. Father wants me to attend some party with his colleagues," Athrun said with an air of disgust.

"Well, why don't we skip classes? I'm sure the teachers won't mind you know," a silver haired boy said.

Just then, the bell rang. Gotta go! She ran fast and passed by this group of boys talking. She turned around the corner at a fast speed, unaware of the paper that had fallen from her book.

Athrun caught a glimpse of her and noticed a form lying on the ground. Must have been hers when she rounded the corner so fast.

"What's this? A scholarship form?"

---------------

"Hey there Cagalli!"

Cagalli landed her books on her desk with a loud thump. "Hi Luna, Lacus," she exclaimed.

"Have you heard about the Fllay girl? I heard she's the most popular student here though some says that she has some temper. Maybe you two will get along!"

Poor Luna kept babbling about the said girl. Some pay girl huh? Cagalli wasn't listening for she was searching for her scholarship form. However, after scanning through the pages of her books, she panicked. What the! How come it's not here? She then looked inside her bag and underneath and beside her chair. She pulled her hair, slapped her cheeks and banged her head. WHERE WAS IT!

"Cagalli, are you alright?" Lacus worriedly asked.

"Yes, I mean no! My scholarship form, it's gone!" said Cagalli who was nearly in tears.

"Maybe you just misplaced it," Luna said while helping her get through her books again.

They scanned every corner of her messy bag and searched 2 meters within her vicinity. Cagalli just shook her head and sighed. "Don't worry Cagalli, I'm sure you'll find it. We'll help you," Luna consoled her best friend.

Cagalli was too worried that she couldn't concentrate on the lessons. All the time, she couldn't discern what her teacher was saying. All she can see was her broken dreams and the sound of her form being ripped into pieces. My form! My form! Please be okay!

---------------

Ring!

As soon as the students heard the signal of the end of class, they had come storming out in different directions. However, 3 students were left inside the room except that the other one was going hysterical.

"Cagalli, calm down will you? We're going to find it" said Luna assuringly.

"Just remember where you have been all this time," said Lacus calmly.

After a few minutes, the 3 girls could be seen scrutinizing every corner of the school. Each concentrate on the floor as they follow the paths Cagalli had taken early in the morning. As they entered the cafeteria, they saw a huge crowd gathered at the center. They pushed themselves to the crowd to see what was happening. There, they saw a bunch of girls who were in deep argument.

"Look at what you've done! A beautiful red-haired girl shouted. Her blouse was covered with orange juice.

"Fllay, oh I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were there," said the other girl.

Fllay, a 3rd year high school student, is the most important girl in school, at least what most students think about. She has a noticeable red hair, inches below her shoulders, tied in neat ponytail. She is very beautiful and popular as well. She leads the girl's tennis team and is also competitive in any kind of sport. Most importantly, she's the three-time president of the student council.

"What are you, blind?" Fllay continued her angst. The girl tried to dab her shirt with tissue but Fllay just slapped her hand away. "Stupid!" she said.

"That was so mean!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere became quiet. The loud chattering of the students died down. The spoons and forks banging on the plates were no longer heard. Even the cooks who served the dishes and those who were lined up for their food stopped their acts. After a few seconds, the shocked faces of the spectators turned towards the direction of that voice.

From the entrance of the canteen, a pair of emerald green eyes watched the scene unfold before him.

Cagalli was standing beside the poor girl. She was clenching her fists and glared at Fllay.

"She already apologized. There's no use calling her stupid," Cagalli said.

There she was, not knowing how she ended up defending the girl. A minute ago, she was just searching for her lost form and now, she was the center of attention. However, she couldn't stand seeing the girl being treated badly in front of everyone. Moreover, she couldn't understand why nobody even bothered to stood up for her.

"And may I know who you are?"

"I'm Cagalli," she said simply.

"Well then Cagalli, if you know what's good for you, keep out of the way."

Just then, Luna stepped in front of Cagalli. "You shouldn't talk to her like that!" she butted in. She knows who the heck is this girl, however, she's furious that somebody treats her friend meanly.

"Next time, mind your own businesses will you," Fllay said. With that, she left Luna, Cagalli and the girl at the cafeteria. Afterwards, the place goes back to normal. The students started talking and once again converting the silent environment a while ago into a lively one.

Meanwhile, Cagalli was left there with her mouth wide open. Did she just walk away on me? You see, Cagalli always managed to keep the last laugh, but evidently, not on this incident.

She snapped out of her thoughts as soon as things had gone back its usual air. The girl she had helped turned to her and stared.

"Are you okay?" asked Cagalli.

Surprisingly, the girl just looked at her and ran away. Cagalli was dumbfounded. What had just happened?

---------------

Athrun had gone out of the halls after going through an exhausting pushing and prying the hands of the girls who constantly swarm over him. He had promised his friends to meet them after school for some quality time before the party starts.

He stopped walking when he noticed that something was going on at the cafeteria. He ushered himself towards the entrance.

"What are you, blind?"

He recognized that voice everywhere. Fllay. 'Now, who's the lucky person she had chosen to pick with', he thought sarcastically. Usually, he didn't mind Fllay picking up on weak people. He doesn't mind what she does at all. It's her life and she can defend herself. But at some point, he realized that she was getting too comfy with it. He felt sorry for others, but what can he do? He's a selfish person after all. He was on his feet to go when suddenly…

"That was so mean! She already apologized. There's no use calling her stupid"

Boy, was he so surprised to see someone shouting back at Fllay. He'd never realized that somebody would actually go against her. Somehow, it made him feel admiration for that girl. Actually, he's fighting the urge to raise his fist in the air and cheer.

"I'm Cagalli"

He smirked. Somehow, that name rings a bell. The girl clearly doesn't know who she is shouting at. He felt sorry for that girl. Fllay will surely make her life miserable. But seeing the determined face of that cute girl makes him doubt that thought. Looks like something interesting will come up this school year.

After Fllay had left, he noticed that the place had gone back to usual. He slowly approached the wide mouthed Cagalli to congratulate her on what she did.

"I believe this is yours, miss."

Cagalli spun around and came face-to-face with a gorgeous guy. She looked at him with big eyes. She had never seen such a perfect creature!

Meet Athrun Zala, the all-time favorite of the crowd, especially the girls. His silky, midnight hair which he always combed with his bare hand makes the entire school population drool over him. He has the most expressive emerald green orbs that will surely melt everyone's hearts. He is the son of one of the richest man at Orb, an heir to a multi-billion company. An A-student, gifted with perfectly shaped body, has no girlfriend. Yes, this hunk is a selfish, arrogant and has no particular liking to girls… yet.

"Here," said Athrun as she handed Cagalli her paper. Cagalli took the paper and muttered a soft thanks.

Meanwhile, Luna just stared at Athrun. It's him!

"It was really brave of you to stand up to her like that, congratulations," Athrun said while smiling at Cagalli.

Cagalli blushed. "She deserves it! I can't believe that there are such insensitive persons. Just who is she anyway."

Athrun coughed. He was so shocked to hear such a remark. "You don't know her? She's Fllay, my sister."

"She's your sister. Wow! I'm surprised! You two sure don't seem blood-related or something." She prepared herself to walk away when suddenly she realized what she had been saying. She turned around again with her hand stuffed on her mouth. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know she's your sister. I shouldn't have said that, though it's true," she almost whispered the last words while looking at the floor.

Athrun laughed. She is really an interesting girl. Arguing with someone she doesn't even know just to stand by her principles. Very few have the courage to do that. "It's nice knowing you, Cagalli," he said. "By the way, the name's Athrun."

---------------

It was 10 pm. Cagalli had just finished her chores and is preparing to do her school works. But that doesn't mean that she had forgotten what occurred that day. Athrun. "Aargh! I should be thinking about my home works not him!" she said to herself.

After a couple of minutes, Luna knocked on the door and came in. "Cagalli, I received an invitation. Read this."

Ms. Hawke,

We cordially invite you to the acquaintance party for the freshmen at the Zala's residence. This years' theme is a slumber party.

We hope that you could come.

Cagalli finished the letter and looked at Luna who was looking back at her, waiting for her response. "What do you think?" Luna asked her.

"I don't want to go. Besides, after talking to that girl, I could think of a million reasons why I shouldn't be there."

"It'll be fun. Lacus will be there too. Come on, let's go."

However, Cagalli had gone back to her school assignments. Luna sighed. "If you don't go then so will I." She really wanted to go and meet new people. But she couldn't just leave her friend alone while she's enjoying the party.

"Whoa! Luna, you don't have to do that!" Luna gave Cagalli a sad look. After 3 minutes of subjecting to dilemma, she finally agreed with an air of resignation. "Guess I have no choice then."

Luna hugged Cagalli. "We'll have a great time there, promise!"

What will happen to the party? Is this the start of Cagalli's troublesome life or will she find love along the way? That's for you to know next chapter!
