The quietness around the school in the early dawn was soon be broken by sounds of alarm clocks ringing all around the school both in the boys and girls dorm. Some students begin to groaned while some are energetic enough to kick the day.
In a certain dorm, a pink hair girl was already wide awake, preparing herself and making breakfast. Kira and Athrun will stopped by at her dorm and have their breakfast since breakfast in school starts at 10 in the morning. Kira and Athrun being the big eater wouldn't survive till then. By the time she had finished preparing breakfast, it's already 6 in the morning and her new dorm mate was still sleeping.
Lacus tried to wake her up but to no avail, the blonde just wouldn't wake up or even responding to her calls. Lacus did a lot of things to wake her up, from water sprinkles o tickling, none of it works and she sighed in frustration.
Cagalli. We are going to be late if you don't wake up soon
There's a knock on the door and Lacus happily went for the door. She was about to squeal Kira but stop when she saw Miriallia standing on her door step. She blinked at her and she blink back.
"Morning Lacus!" the brunette waved at her.
"Ah! Morning Milly."
"Kira and Athrun will heading to class early today. Have to miss breakfast."
"Oh." sounding a little disappointed.
"Do you mind if I have a share or the breakfast?"
"Of course not. Come on in."
While Lacus was serving breakfast for her, Miriallia noticed a lump on the other bed that was suppose to be vacant.
"Lacus? Do you have a new dorm mate?"
"Yes but she wouldn't wake up." giving her I-don't-know-what-to-do look.
"Hmmm. Let me try."
She walked towards the lump and sit on the side of her bed shaking her a little but she did not move a muscle. She begin to shake her violently but still not working.
Such sleeper. I couldn't believe other than Dearka there is still somebody who can sleep like this.
At talking about Dearka makes her blood boil and huffed a little.
"Lacus?What's her name?"
"Cagalli."
"Right!"
She glanced around the dorm and saw a photo of Cagalli and her father. The father looked stern enough but somehow Miriallia got a feeling that Cagalli wasn't one bit afraid of her father. She shrugged and continue her wake up call.
"Cagalli! School starting. Your daddy is waiting."
"Mmm." was the blonde reply but a moment later, the blonde shot up from her bad. She scrambled out of bed, went into the shower, comb her hair,packed her bag and ran out from her dorm shouting
"Daddy don't send Yuuna here. I'm sorry!" Lacus and Miriallia who went unnoticed by the blond just stared at each other in confusion.
"How did you do that?"Lacus breaking the silence while Miriallia just shrugged in return.

Cagalli have been strolling around the school with no one to talk to in fact, there was nobody to be seen. The morning routine of her father constant threat of sending Yuuna give her the creeps. By just hearing his name, Cagalli can lose her appetite which is already did. It was actually too late to go back to dorm by now even though she knew her father was not actually waiting for her.
How could he be when I'm in dorm?
Cagalli looked around and somehow she doesn't find this area familiar. Nobody's here and Cagalli was alone. She swing her bag to and fro humming to herself but stopped when she heard noises coming out from an empty room. The door was slightly ajar and Cagalli took the change to peep inside but only gasped when she saw a couple was busy kissing. The red faced Cagalli quickly but silently tip toed away until she reached far enough from them.
Disgusting!
"Cagalli!"
The blond turned and saw Lacus calling out to her. She happily waved at the pink hair girl, feeling grateful to see her. Beside Lacus was another girl which her attire was orange that in Cagalli's opinion, it looked good on her. Her short brunette hair was in state and was nothing like hers-fur ball.
"Lacus!"
"Hey Cagalli! I'm Miriallia. You can call me Milly."
"Nice to meet you."
"Same here."
Both of them shakes each other hands and the trio went their way along the hallway chatting happily.
"Come on Cagalli! We better hurry."
"YUP! Lacus can't wait to introduce you to Kira."
"Oooo! Lacus's boyfriend."
Both Cagalli and Miriallia was laughing loudly at the blushing pink haired girl.
"He's not."

Athrun and Kira was busy checking each other homeworks since they didn't visit Lacus, her breakfast and also her homework checking routine. Athrun wouldn't have care if it wasn't for Kira who wanted to give Lacus a good impression insisted that they check each other work.
"Kira?"
"Mmm?"
"How do you spell synagogue?"
"S-Y-N-A-G-O-G-U-E. Why?" still busy checking Athrun's work while Athrun on the other hand was trying to stop his urge to laugh.
"What Athrun?" noticing his blue haired friend weird behaviour.
"W-Well! I don't think in the Bible, we can find the word 'Lacus you are so beautiful'" this time laughing out loud. Kira glared at Athrun, snatching his book back and begin to change his answer.
"Did you wrote it accidentally or intentionally?"
"Shut UP!"
Athrun was about to tease him more but Dearka interrupted him. The blond was a little cheerful compared to yesterday and Yzak the usual Mr. Grumpy trailing behind. He wondered what did Shiho find in him.
"Athrun! Kira! Did you see the new movie Angels of Mission last night? asked Dearka.
"You saw that new girl in that show? The blonde one?"Yzak piped in.
The three girls was about to reach their Science class but stopped when Cagalli heard something about her. She leaned back and listen to their conversation.Cagalli recognized green eyed alien there talking with his buddy. Who wouldn't if the whole school, he's the only blue hair. She picked up a few words such as new-blonde-girl.
They are talking about me.
"Oh her! I saw her alright.Why?"
"Aha! Athrun,what do you think of her?"
"Err..she's not very beautiful and she doesn't act like a girl. She shouldn't really take...OUCH!" Athrun was rubbing his shin where someone had just kicked him.
He turned around wanted to give whoever that person a taste of his punch but unable to do so when he come face to face with a blonde girl with amber eyes. He doesn't know why he suddenly feel nervous in front of her and he could feel the heat rising to his cheeks.
Why am I blushing for?
"Err...morning?"
Cagalli smiled at him.
O ooh!
Athrun quickly block his face from getting in contact with the blonde palm but he feel nothing coming his way. He removed his hand and saw Cagalli's smile had not faltered yet and he gave her a confused look and she reply it with another smile. Athrun sighed in relief thinking that kicking shin was her way to say good morning to him and he relaxed. At the very moment Athrun have let his guard down, Cagalli kick him again and Athrun earned another slap on his face. Everyone was bewildered at what had happened, the same question held in their mind.
What is happening here?
"What did I do now?" rubbing his cheek and leg with another confuse look.
Athrun wouldn't understand the blonde and don't think he ever will. He never did anything wrong beside tripping over her and accidentally touched the place he wasn't suppose to touch but other than that, he did nothing else. He had actually lost count of her slapping since his first encounter with her.
Such great morning
"Whoa!" Kira was the first one to talk breaking the silence but only earn a glare from Athrun. Kira immediately shut his mouth.
Athrun was about to go inside the class when he heard a loud squealing of ATHRUUN HONEY coming nearer. Athrun who was not in the mood to play hide and seek with Mia went inside the classroom fast and Mia seems to have notice pick up her pace and lunged herself at him. Yzak and Dearka who are clearly annoyed with her dragged her away until she was far away and locked her inside an isolated room.
The bell rings stating the students should go to the class now. All of them without another word went inside. They saw Athrun sitting there seems to be in deep thinking. About what? They were about to find out. On the other hand, Cagalli was standing there with the teacher who was tapping her foot impatiently.
"Settle down class!" and the students went back to their seat talking no more.
"Today we have three new students and the other two seems to get lost somehow. Well..."
the teacher speech was interrupted by a two arguing voice just outside the classroom and two boys came stumbling in with a crossed look on their face.
"Get off purple freak!"
"You get off desert boy!"
"I reached here first."
"No! I reached here first."
Cagalli nightmare came true, not only one nightmare but two. The two boys lighted up when they saw Cagalli standing there. They rushed to her one holding her hand one was paying her respect. Cagalli feel like hiding somewhere.
"Alright! You can start introducing yourself now."
The purple haired guy stepped forward with a smirk on his face. His hand still on Cagalli and Cagalli was trying her best to release her hand but Yuuna's grip was too tight. He bowed slightly and winked at the class. Somehow no one was impressed especially a certain blue hair who was from the start, glaring at both the purple hair freak and the desert boy. He doesn't know why but he had a sudden urge to strangle both of them tight, hoping their face will turn blue, begging for his release. Athrun smirked at this and Kira who was looking behind at Athrun sweat dropped.
"Er hem! I'm Yuuna Roma Seiran, the ultimate hotty and wealthy guy. I got the look, the body aannd the money but I'm not available. You wanna know why? I'' tell you why. It's because I belong to Cagalli and her only." kneeling down and kissed Cagalli hand.
Athrun was pissed, he was imagining the pencil he was holding was Yuuna and he gripped it tight and broke it into two. Everyone who saw that freaked out including Yzak while Lacus look worriedly at him and Cagalli. Cagalli on the other hand feel like vomiting at his statement and she made a mental note to go to the clinic and have her hand to be treated.
"Oooi purple freak! Get away from Cagalli!" the brown haired desert boy pushed Yuuna away and put an arm around Cagalli protectively. Cagalli wouldn't mind, she kinda get used to it when she was small.
"I'm Afmed and I'm giving you warning! Don't you dare hurt Cagalli or else." showing his fist at the class.
The teacher just look at Afmed with a unsatisfied look and Cagalli was anything but feel comfortable. Her life is going to be torture. Athrun have nothing to break grab Kira's head instead and started to strangle him. Lacus was trying her best to release Athrun's hands buy unsuccessfully. When Athrun saw Cagalli was about to start her introduction, he stopped strangling Kira and pay attention leaving the paled Kira was in shock.
"I am Cagalli Yula Attha!"
Everyone was not very satisfied with her introduction but to Athurn that was the best introduction ever at least better than those two. Thinking of them make him wanted to strangle or breaking something. Kira quickly sit further up avoiding another strangling from Athrun.
"Now Miss Attha, who's your partner?"
"Athrun Zala."
Athrun paled slightly but somehow he like it. He was glad his partner was somebody else but not Mia even though his partner like to slap him. It was worth it. She saw the blond glancing around the classroom searching for her partner and when she caught his eye, she glared at him. He gulped.
"Mr. Zala! Please raise up your hand."
Athrun quickly hide his face and raises his hand hoping Cagalli won't notice him but he was wrong. Cagalli did notice him and she wasn't at all pleased with it. She knew Athrun Zala, her partner was green eye alien. Everyone would have known seeing the only blue hair guy raised up his hand. She angrily walked towards her partner and loudly slammed her bag on the chair. When she was about to seat, Mia rushed in and pushed her out of the way causing her to fall backwards.
"ATHRUUN!"
Athrun eyes widened in shock at the sudden intruder. He wanted to help Cagalli but Mia lunged at him causing him to fall backwards too. Mia was hugging him hard and he was having difficulties in breathing. Athrun saw Cagalli standing in front of him with an angry look and he gave her an apologetic look and mouthed 'help' to Kira. Kira was as dense he can be doesn't know understand what Athrun was trying tell him or was it just revenge for paying back the strangle Athrun did to him earlier?
"WHAT!"
Athrun feels like smacking him on his head hard. How come he can be friended with such dense friend. Couldn't he see his best friend was in the situation of breathing difficulties and choking with Mia's excessive perfume. Cagalli seems to detect his difficulties set aside her anger for once and help him. She harshly kicked Mia on the leg causing her to yelp loudly that Athrun's ears was ringing at the sound.
"Get off! You are blocking me!"
Mia stand up releasing Athrun who was too happy to be true. He quickly stand up and make sure his respiratory system still functioning well. Mia was about to lunged at Cagalli was stopped by Athrun. Athrun's hand is on Mia's wrist made her flying over the moon. It was the first time, Athrun touch her. She was looking at Athrun with a dreamy look imagining how their future wedding plan shall be.
" I thinks its enough! Now let's get back to our studies alright."
You should say this earlier
"NO!" Yuuna and Afmed loud voices screamed out.
"Now what Mr Seiran and Afmed?"
"I WANT TO SIT WITH CAGALLI!" both of them shouted at the teacher and thank God , the teacher finally losses his cool when he shouted twice as loud as their saying NO to them.
Yuuna and Afmed seems to have lose their words and Cagalli laughed silently while Athrun raised his eyebrow at her. Mia sensing this is not the perfect timing to be with Athrun or causing a scene since Mr. Dullindal was in anger, she quickly backed away to her seat. The Science teacher snatched their envelope from their hand ordered them to be seated with their respective partners that is Yuuna-Mia and Afmed with Fllay.
"Thanks!" Athrun whispered quietly to her.
"I am not helping you, I just want don't want her to be here."
Athrun smiled slightly and going back to the lesson. An hour there was hard not because of Cagalli constant glaring but because of the sleepy Cagalli was trying her best not to close her eyes and stay awake. Athrun was busy keeping an eye on her and paying his attention to his studies but of course for unexplainable reason, he found keeping an eye on Cagalli was a better thing to do.He wanted to wake her up but decided against it since he found it quite amusing to see her struggling with her sleepiness. Suddenly his concentration on the blond broken off when he was interrupted by Mr. Dullindal looking at him.
Oops! Die!
"Mr. Zala? Are you paying attention?"
He nodded slightly and from the corner of his eyes, he saw that Cagalli was now awake.
"Good! So what;s the answer to my question?"
Question?
"Errr..." the teacher looked at him with an unsatisfied look on his face. Athrun was embarrassed.
"Mr.Zala! What's the end product of protein?"
Ah ha! Easy!
"Amino acids!" he answered it with a smile on his face. The teacher nodded his head and gesture Athrun to seat.
Phew! Athrun Zala?Next time pay attention!
He turned to look at Cagalli and Cagalli did the same. Amber meet emerald. Both of them turned away with a tight pink that was clearly seen on their face, feeling embarrassed .Soon, the Science period ended and Athrun quickly ran to the library with Mia trailing behind him. He was late and most probably madam Rosetta will be there waiting for him.
Please don't be late! Please don't be late!
When he reached the library, Madam Rosetta was indeed waiting for him. He felt guilty and quickly apologize. Madam Rosetta just brushed off his apologies and send him off, telling him theres nothing be to sorry. Athrun thanked her and quickly went to his next class.
History!
He couldn't help but chuckled when he think of Cagalli who was trying to fight her sleepiness and he knew History will make her feel even more sleepier than ever. He entered the classroom expecting a lecturing Miss Murrue about how British conquered the Eastern countries but instead he saw Cagalli with purple freak and desert boy bickering at the corner of the classroom. Cagalli doesn't look at all pleased and Athrun once again having the urge to strangle them.
He went over to the rest who was chatting happily except Kira who was moaning in hunger, Lacus who was concentrating on fixing something and Miriallia that was brushing a hurt Dearka away. He saw Yzak was busy talking to Shiho and he smirk to himself.
"Hey guys!" Cagalli voice called out..
They are friends already?
"Hey Cagalli!" the rest chorused including the busy Yzak and Shiho.
All! ALL! Except me!
Athtun turn away his gaze from the group and saw Yuuna staring at Cagalli with a dreamy face. Athrun scowled and think how happy can he be if he can go there and twist his neck, break his bone, wipe away his face and never ever let him get near to Cagalli again.
Eh? Why do I care if the purple freak likes Cagalli?
"ATHRUUN!"
Athrun groaned at the voice and decided to something. He was estimating Mia's distance from him and when about time he will make the Mia slapping operation like an accident. He smiled a little evilly. One- Two-Three, Mia getting nearer and his hand is ready but what he doesn't know that Cagalli have take over Mia and when Cagalli was near Athrun, Athrun's hand flung out and hit Cagalli across the cheek. Athrun turned around and saw Cagalli and he feel like fainting.
I hit Cagalli!
Cagalli was taken aback and slowly her face turned red. How could that green eye alien slapped her? She tighten her fist and punched Athrun on the face and ran off leaving the stunt Athrun who still couldn't believe he just slapped Cagalli. Mia on the other hand was laughing happily bouncing up and down. Everyone was looking at Athrun with a what-are- you-doing look but Athrun never notice.
"Ooi! You blue hair!"
Ahtrun slowly very slowly turned his face at the voice that had called him. Before he could see the person, a flying punch hit him hard on the nose causing it to bleed. Mia freaked out. The rest gasped and Athrun was in shock plus shock. Kira hurried to the rescue saving Athrun from Afmed.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO HURT CAGALLI!"
"Sorry!" Kira muttered an apology to him and with Dearka and Yzak help, he dragged Athrun to the clinic.
"Will you snap out of it Athrun?"
"I slapped Cagalli!" was his only reply and the only word he had repeated.

Author's Note
Finally! This chapter is killing me and it took me few hours to complete writing it down on 14 pages but in the end when I finished typing it in the computer, the story was completely different from what I wrote earlier. Why do I even bother to write it down on the paper? Gah!
This chapter is slightly longer and I already cut it short. It was suppose to be longer and I think there is a lot of grammar mistakes and I apologize for it. The idea of Athrun doing something wrong in front of Cagalli is not interesting. I don't think this chapter is good enough. Sorry!
Well thank you for suggesting for letting someone else to read it but to tell you the truth no ne of my friend even bother to read. Even the first chapter, they said it was too long(some of them) so don't it even think of calling them to help me check my grammar mistakes. Impossible! Family? Don't even know I wrote stories. Can't balme them. It's my first after all.
To Freedom Elf: It can't be help really Athrun have to be clumsy. This is what I can think of so far and I promise that I will think of other better ideas.
To Eternally Asuka: Meer and Mia is the same person just that i kinda got used to Mia.
P/S: Thanks for
reviewing and reading as well and I 'm sorry I'm not sure if Afmed
was spelled like that and I don't know his last name. I think I am
talking too much.LOL '
Please review if you can!
