I think I have fallen in love with you.

CHAPTER 2: PROJECT PARTNER

" Cag, it's your fault again!" shouted Mirry while they are running to Eternal high.

" I told you I'm not a morning person! I can't help it either!" shouter back Cagalli.

"Wow, and what makes you tied up your hair? But tell the truth you are prettier than before in that hairstyle. But this is the first time I saw you tied up your hair." Comment Lacus.

" Yup, Cag. You sure attract many boys in school later!" comment Mirry.

" Shut up! I just feel like tying up my hair and I won't attract the boys. Cuz Lacus already attract all of them!" Cagalli replied while blushing.

Eternal High

When the three girls walk in the hall almost all of the eyes are gazing them. Some eyes were on Lacus beauty and some eyes on Cagalli new look most is girl since it's the 2nd say and the boys barely know her

"See? I told you. You attract boys." Tease Mirry.

"Hey! It's Lacus and you okay not me." Said Cagalli.

Athrun, Kira and Dearka just walking around heading for their locker to put their books. Suddenly they heard a few girls gossip.

"Did you just see that? Cagalli Athha tied up her hair! She never tied up before..but she really look nicer then before!" whispered some girl coming from the hall…

"Oh, so I see she took my advice," thought Athrun while smiling.

Kira put his hand on Athrun forehead.

"Hmm… no fever! Why are you laughing there?" said Kira.

Athrun didn't answer Kira question and just walk straight to the hall while on the way to the locker which need to pass by the hall. When they reach the locker they saw the three girls on theirs too.

(A/N: Athrun's locker is beside Cagalli same goes to DXM and KXL)

" Hey, so I take it as you took my advice huh!" whispered Athrun to Cagalli near her ear. That makes her blush.

All of them frowned at the sight they saw. Lacus and Mirry can't believe Cagalli is blushing because of a guy. And for Kira and Dearka can't believe that Athrun actually acts like this.

Cagalli just quickly her books into the locker and just run to her class. The others just standing there like a crazy people, frowning.

Class…

"Okay class, I'm your science teacher, Talia Gladi. And this year we need to do a project. And this required partner. 2 person per group. And I had already group up you all, now I will read out and this project due on 3 weeks after." Said Talia.

"Lacus Cylne pair with Kira Yamato"

"Dearka Elthman with Miriallia Haww"

" Cagalli Athha with Athrun Zala"

"What? I'm paired up with him? No way…Miss Talia can you please change?" shouted Cagalli.

"I'm afraid not, miss Athha." Said Talia.

" Just give up! You are destiny to become partner of mine!" whispered Athrun behind her. She can feel his breathing while his leaning forward whispering to her. She blush the 2nd time at the same day.

"They are cute if they become a couple, ne Kira?" whispered Lacus to Kira try not to let the teacher notice.

"Ya, I haven't seen Athrun act like this before.. Anyway what about we meet after school at the library? We need to do this project regarding to the information." Suggested Kira.

"Okay, no problem! How about we go for lunch? I mean with Mirry and Cagalli if you don't mind." Said Lacus

"Um… ya, of course!" agreed Kira.

Lunch break…under sakura tree

" Why are they joining us? Isn't this a secret place only between us?" said Cagalli.

" Come on, Cag. We're friends aren't we? Friends should share their secret!" said Mirry.

" Kira and Dearka are never mind. But why is he here too?" said Cagalli pointing to Athrun.

" Oh, just because I'm Kira and Dearka's friend, too bad!" said Athrun while laughing at the same time.

"Fine fine fine, let's start eating…come on before the bell rings." Said Dearka hungrily.

Library after school

"Okay, Kira. Let's start. I will go for the book searching and you will go for the Internet searching. K? Said Laucs.

"How could I reject a beautiful girl suggestion? I will go for the Internet searching. See you 2 hours later." Said Kira. While Lacus hear the "beautiful girl" from kira's mouth she can't control but blush.

In the coffee shop

" Arggggg…. Enough! I won't continue. If I still continue I will be mad by then!" shouted Dearka.

" Come on Dearka. Calm down. Do it slowly, don't force yourself to hard. You will die from stress then." Said Mirry while taking a sip of tea.

"I think we should stop now. We had done this for the past 2 hours. Come on mirry. Let's stop for today!" said Dearka.

"Alright. Tomorrow same time we will meet at here, okay?" said Mirry.

"Okay. No problem. Mirry, how bout I walk you home?" said Dearka hope that Mirry wont reject.

" O-..Okay!" said Mirry blushing.

Back to library

"Kira, you are here already! I found some books. But not much. I think of going to the national library to find some more information this Saturday! Can you make it?" suggested Lacus.

"Oh I see.. I also can't find much of the information from the Internet though. Saturday? Um… okay, I will go and pick you up." Said Kira.

"Oh, I got to go now, see you tomorrow." Said Lacus and she run to the door.

On the street

"So. Mirry. Do you have any boyfriend? Asked Dearka suddenly.

When he saw Mirry face with shook he continue, "Oh, I'm just wondering a pretty girl like you have a boyfriend already only…I don't mean anything else." Said Dearka nervously,

"Owh… I used to have one but I break up with him." Said Mirry after she managed to come out with her voice.

" So how bout you? Do you have any girlfriend?" said Mirry,. When she saw his shook face she continues, "I'm just wondering that's all!"

When Dearka wanted to answer her a "no". a girl suddenly called out his name.

" Dearka, long time didn't see you. Where have you been? Why haven't you come and find me?" said the girl.

"Oh, Dearka. I see you have a girlfriend here. I better get going before it's too late. See ya!" said Mirry with a bit of disappointed tone.

"Mirry ..Mirry" shouted Dearka trying to explain. But unfortunately she runs too fast to hear his voice. Dearka turned to the girl and said." What are you doing here? I thought we are over?"

"Mou, Dearka. How can you say that? I love you so much and you said we are over. I know you are a playboy but you just can't say that. But I see you really like the girl with orange hair." Said the girl

"Look! I really really do like her. And I can abandon to become a playboy because of her." Shouted Dearka

"I won't let you. I can tolerant you become a playboy but not a serious guy in love. I can't let other girl have your heart." Said the girl.

"Look, Mitsuki. Don't you dare to do anything to her. If not I will kill you personally." Said Dearka angrily.

Clyne mansion

" Hmm… Ya! I have a nice day with Kira today. It was fun. I even asked him out to the national library this Saturday. And guess what? He offered to pick me up." Said Lacus happily.

" Look how happy are you!" said Mirry on the phone.

"Oh ya. How about you? How you and Dearka?" asked Lacus.

"What do you mean by how? We just discussing about the project!" said Mirry while blushing.

"My,my… nothing happen at all? I can't believe it. You both didn't talk bout other thing except for the project?" said Lacus.

"Erm… there's something. He asked me whether I have a boyfriend? And I said no. When I ask him back, before he answer I already know his answer and I just run back home." Confess Mirry.

"How did you know the answer before he actually answer you. And you just run back?" repeated Lacus.

" I mean I saw a girl calling him and look like is his girlfriend?" Mirry said while rowing her eyes.

" Oh gosh.. Mirry. You didn't hear his explanation and you just run off? May be that's not his girlfriend or whatever.?" Said Lacus.

" May be. But he won't like me even though that's not his girlfriend. I'm just not pretty enough for him. I mean every girl in school is better then me!" said Mirry sadly.

" Don't you dare to said that again. Mrry, you are one of the pretty girl our school and love doesn't see face. If he really love you not because of your face it's because he loves you!" said Lacus nearly shouting.

"Okay Lacus. Calm down. By the way I got to go now. See you tomorrow." Said Mirry.

"Okay, good night!" said Lacus.

"You mean you and Athrun didn't start your project yet? Even though you don't like him but he is still your partner." Said Lacus.

" I know I know. But I just don't want to be his partner. I hate him." Said Cagalli

"Or you like him? Hahahaha" said Milly while laughing.

Suddenly Mirry bumped to someone. The someone manage to caught her hand before he drop onto the floor.

"I'm sorry. I didn't see the road." Said Mirry.

" Erm.. Never mind. I didn't pay much attention too. I'm sorry too." Said the "someone"

Mirry heard the "someone" speak as she remember someone speak exactly like him and reminded her of Dearka. And when she look up she saw only one guy, Dearka.

"Oh, it's you Dearka. Erm… guys I got to go. I will see you later in class. See ya!" said Mirry to Lacus, Cagalli and Dearka while running to the school gate.

" Wait, Mirry. wait for me. I need to talk to you!" shouted Dearka and rush to follow her, while Lacus chuckled.

"Did I miss something?" said Cagalli confusingly.

Locker

When Lacus and Cagalli go to their locker. Cagalli saw Athrun and Kira standing by theirs too,

"Lacus, let's go to classroom together. I have something to show you. It's about the project." Said Kira.

"Oh okay." Answered Lacus knowing that Kira wanted to let Cagalli and Athrun alone.

And two of them just say bye to them and rush to hide themselves in a corner.

"So when you want to start the project? Lacus and Mirry paired already start doing theirs." Said Cagalli

"It's actually up to you. It's you the one don't want to paired up with me not me. So if you asked it, why not we meet at the secret place after school?" suggested Athrun.

" FINE!" shouted Cagalli and just walk to her class. Athrun just stand there and chuckle at her action.

"Mirry, why are you avoiding me? I said I need to talk to you!" shouted Dearka from behind.

Mirry didn't answer his question and continue waking forward. That makes Dearka angry and run faster and finally catch up with her and grabbed her wrist. He doesn't care whether he hurt her or what she said he just pulled her with force to a corner.

"What do you think y-" Mirry shouted and stop when she feel Dearka's lip on hers.

Dearka feel shocked that she didn't resist but she looks like enjoying it. Few minutes later, he pulled apart his lips from hers and begins to speak. His eyes looking right into her sky blue colour eyes.

"Mirry, don't you get it? I love you and Mitsuki is not my girlfriend. Why don't you let me explain and just avoiding me?" shouted Dearka firmly.

When Mirry wanted to speak up suddenly…

BRINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG….

"Let's go back to class!" said Mirry while hearing the bell ring.

Dearka just stood there while Mirry already go into class 2-A. he doesn't know what Mirry feel to him. Will she return his feeling? Or will she hate him? He actually tells her he loves her! At that moment he thinks that he is an idiot.

After school at the sakura tree

Athrun sat on the sakura tree branch to wait for Cagalli. After waiting for nearly 30 minutes, he started to worried about her,…

"oh no, how can I forget I need to meet up with Zala after school.." mumbled Cagalli.

"oh see whose here… My dear Cagalli honey…" said a guy right in front of her.

" Who are you to called me that!" shouted Cagalli angrily and look up to the guy. She got shook when she see who is that,.

" Yunna, what are you doing here? And don't ever call me that. 1st I'm not your honey and never will 2nd I hate you." Shouted Cagalli loudly.

"But I love you, dear Cagalli honey. How can you say you hate me? I know you love me as I do!" replied the guy named Yunna.

" Shut up before I beat you up. DON'T EVER CALL ME THAT AND I HATE YOU!" shouted Cagalli even louder then before.

Yunna grab Cagalli's hand and push her toward the wall. Although Cagalli is stronger than a normal girl but still Yunna is a guy. She can't do anything and can see tear formed in the corner of her amber eyes.

Athrun wondering around to find Cagalli since he waited for so long. And heard some conversation.

"But I love you, dear Cagalli honey. How can you say you hate me? I know you love me as I do!"

" Shut up before I beat you up. DON'T EVER CALL ME THAT AND I HATE YOU"

"It's Cagalli voice…" Athrun thought.

He quickly ran towards the voice.

Nearer …

Nearer…

And

Nearer….

When he reach there he saw something that make him shook and hurt at the same time….
