"I DON'T UNDERSTAND! CAN'T YOU TALK?" Cagalli yelled at her currently Math tutor who was closing his ears preventing his eardrums from bursting. When she finally stopped throwing her tantrums about doesn't understand what the hell he was writing about, he releases his hands from his ears.

I can talk but do you understand?

He wrote it down on the piece of paper and shoved it to her and she groaned ever so loud and beat Athrun continuously but surprisingly gentle at his back. He winced a little due to the swollen had not fully gone. It's been an hour straight and they were outside on a deserted area with only a big tree covering them.

Lacus have returned shortly after Cagalli had finished with the egg nursing. Athrun who wanted to avoid her questions and Cagalli doesn't want anybody to know about him tutoring her Math went away. He bought her here which is safe enough from anyone. In fact it was his secret hiding place. Pretty and peaceful without the blonde that is.

At least nobody is going to hear her outburst

"But you were writing crap! You multiply this to become eight when the multiplication I've learnt is six!" she whined childishly.

This is Algebraic! Not multiplication even though it kinda involve somehow but still it's eight!

"But that doesn't make any sense!"

How about asking the one who created this!

"I wanted to of course but I don't think he's alive." she lied back down on the green grass and sighed.

Athrun who was losing his patient at that particular blond angrily planted that piece of calculation to her and ordered her to start doing it. Cagalli stood up and pointed a finger angrily at him, scolding him. Athurn groaned slightly. Tutoring this hot headed blonde wasn't an easy task after all. He could swear that his blood pressure went up slightly.

"You aren't explaining it well enough!

Why can't you just RELAX? Sit back down or WE won't able to finish it on time!Besides you are not listening to me!

"That's because you are not talking?"

Was it my fault that I was beaten up like this?

Cagalli gritted her teeth and sat back down.

"Fine! But you better explain well this time. I still got three stacks to go!" flipping through the pages.

Stupid Algebraic! Stupid Cube roots! Stupid ! Stupid!

Athrun held out the paper to her and she flushed slightly. Okay! So she was a little slow on Math and he was trying his best to help her and it was a pretty good job too since she was able to finish two of five stacks.

Well I haven't touch mine!Let's get it started!

"Well you can finish this up in an hour or so!" she protested a little but started her work as well.

With you throwing tantrums, I am super lucky that I can even sleep tonight

No more time wasting as both of them or more like one of them trying to put some formula into the blonde's head. Athrun keep on shoving the paper, pestering her about the formulas and asked her to try to remember it not scolding the formulas.

"I AM TRYING TO REMEMBER IT ALREADY ZALA!"

Great! It's going to be a long day!

Fllay was running along the hallway trying to find a certain person. She was having problem with her studies or more like pretending to have problems and trying to get close to a brown haired guy which she always find cute and handsome. Fllay was smiling when she caught sight of him but frowned when she saw his hand over the pink haired girl shoulders.

She always hated Lacus Clyne for being such a goddess like, pretty, smart and have a very beautiful voice. Everyone could have fallen for that pink haired including Kira to her disappointment. What was her mistake? Is she not as pretty as her? From the starting of the year, she had been pretending to be a fool so that Kira can tutor her. Kira did but it wasn't enough, she wanted more of him.

And it her head, she was planning to have Kira by herself even that means plotting with her enemy, Mia Campbell.

Shiho was humming to herself, reading a book while walking to her dorm. She had refused to follow the rest of them and went to the library instead. It was her favourite place of all same as Athrun Zala. She and Athrun have a lot of things in common and that includes their not very sociable type. Despite Yzak since he practically scared everyone away.

She was so lucky to meet them and having Yzak as a partner, even though sometimes Yzak can be very hard to control his little temper. Thinking about that silver haired guy bring a smile to her face as she continue to read her book.

Yzak

Unnoticed she crashed into someone causing her book to fly off. She saw the browned haired, tanned skin boy in front of her apologizing frantically and she assured him that is alright. She remembered him as the one who punched Athrun on the nose and she chuckle which gained a confused look from the boy.

"Afhmed is it?"

"Ah-ah yes!" he scratched his head not looking at her eyes.

"You looked rushed. Who are you looking for?"

He looked up and dragged her away along with the book he had picked up. Shiho was bewildered at his action but followed as well. They hid inside the library at the back, very back making no noise.

"I was running away from that purple freak."

"Yuuna Roma Seiran? Why?"

Afhmed laughed silently at her question.

"I pushed him inside the toilet and locked him there along with some frogs. His worst enemy."

Shiho laughed along with him. A moment later, both of them calmed down. Shiho was leaning on the bookshelf suddenly shot up, remembered she haven't introduce herself to the new guy and held out her hand to him.

"I'm Shiho Hahnenfuss. Nice to meet you!" she smiled at him and he took her hand.

He smiled back at her and felt his stomach fluttered a little. His first friend in this school aside from Cagalli. He looked at the long haired Shiho and admired her attire. He decided that he liked her and thought that maybe they will be great friends in the future.

Shiho Hahnenfuss.

"Want a tour around the school?"

Afhmed thought for awhile and nodded.

"Why not?"

"ZALA! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LEAVE ME WITH THIS WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED YOURS!"

Athrun had fallen asleep after he had finished his homework and Cagalli who insisted she wanted to try doing her homework herself without his help. He let her of course and it turns out that she can't even solve more than five questions. So she's yelling at him trying to wake him up. He sleepily wrote something on the paper to Cagalli and the blonde was fuming again and have the biggest urge to hurt Zala terribly.

" IT WASN'T FAIR! YOU PROMISED TO TUTOR ME!"

I did! You got most of it right!

"BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH!"

Fine! Come here. I'll teach you again.

Cagalli sat back down trying to understand the explanation that Athrun had written down on the piece of paper. She yawned a little because she's the one doing the talking but still she is paying attention.

"Your meaning is?"

It was the famous sentence Cagalli had repeated herself for that whole evening. In short, she just doesn't understand. Athrun hoped that his jaw can completely heal so he can talk. It will be definitely easier for both of them.

My meaning is when you have this bracket, you will have to multiply following the formula that means not two times three equals to six. It's two times three equals to eight.

"Err...because it's a cube?"

That's my point! You finally get it! Hurray!

"But why?"

Athrun sighed. She just have to ask that question every single time she understand part of it. When he explained it, she will back to zero where she doesn't understand anything again.

Here we go again!

DON'T THINK ABOUT WHY! THINK ABOUT HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FINISH THAT STACK OF MATH!

"With your help of course!" exclaimed Cagalli with slight of irritation can be detected in her voice.

Athrun banged his head with the stacks of paper and sighed. Cagalli was glaring at him and pushed him urging him to continue his teaching.

"Fast! Fast!"

Lacus was happily chatting with Kira using the internet and they were discussing their plan earlier. They had decided to find Athrun the perfect match and they have selected few choices of girls. Yzak and Dearka meanwhile was figuring plan how to get rid of Mia.

"All going well!" Lacus happily exclaimed to herself lying down on her bed.

Wait till Athrun get himself a girlfriend and he won't be running away again from Mia

Lacus sighed. She was helping Athrun with his love life and she herself was stuck with hers. She liked Kira a lot but afraid that Kira doesn't feel the same towards her. After all there is Fllay which Kira found her quite funny and entertaining. He said that Fllay was interesting and he was having lots of fun tutoring her.

She was crestfallen but she never showed it to him but hide it inside her heart. She thought that maybe Kira like Fllay and she should be happy for him. Tears was at the corner of her eyes as she continue to chat with Kira.

Maybe someday you'll like me back

III

"Thank you Shiho! I was having lots of fun." Afhmed was smiling endlessly from the start of his stroll with Shiho. In his opinion, Shiho may be quiet but she was pretty amusing when she wanted to. She had been telling him jokes and he did the same in return which she laughed heartily.

"Me too but I got to go now. See you tomorrow!" waving her hand at him while running off in the opposite direction.

"See you tomorrow!" he called back at her, a smile on his face.

He walked back to his dorm and the image of Shiho was filling his brain and he smiled idiotically. He can't wait for tomorrow to comes, he wanted to see Shiho again and hear her laughter.

Shiho!

III

"FINALLY!" Cagalli was jumping up and down with the stacks of paper in her hand.

After a long battle with Math, she finally finished off her homework and Athrun was smiling in return. It was a relief to him that he won't be hearing her yelling at his ears again. He looked at her happy face and observed how her face and her hair shone under the light of the sunset.

He stood up and begin to pack up their things. Cagalli who forget her grudge towards him hugged him happily saying thank you again and again. Athrun blushed. Athrun handed her the paper and Cagalli took it.

It's late now! Let's go!

Cagalli just nodded hugging her homework tight with the smile that never left her face. She was humming, skipping along the hallway. Athrun thought that even after getting yelled at, he was able to see her happy face. It was worth it. He stopped on his track and Cagalli followed as well.

"What's wrong?"

He shook his head and Cagalli shrugged.

"You will be tutoring me again you know? Or else..." showing her fist and for once Athrun did not back away or feeling panic. He just smile at her and nodded his head. Cagalli feeling satisfy retreat back her fist.

"And don't tell anyone about it!"

He nodded again and Cagalli went back to her humming and skipping.

I would love to do that if I can see her happy face everyday! Thank God for Math!
