CHAPTER 2

Turn right then left then right again…..

Cagalli followed Athrun's directions just the way he said it. And in no time she was standing right at the front of the administration office. She took a deep breath before she opened the door which once opened, revealed a woman sitting behind a desk. The woman looked up at Cagalli and smiled. A sign of recognition in her eyes

"Welcome princess Artha, the principal has been expecting you." She said using her hand as direction towards an office. Cagalli understood, and made her way towards the office. And it begins.

-Athrun-

Athrun and Lacus were heading towards their classroom where their teacher and classmates must be waiting for them. They had volunteered to get the new class schedule from the admin office, and on their way back, Lacus decided to visit the ladies. That was when Athrun bumped into the frantic Cagalli.

Athrun and Lacus hadn't walked that far away from where they left Cagalli, when Lacus noticed Athrun's red stained cheeks. He must have had quite an encounter with the lady from before cos he rarely blushed by just a meeting. So Lacus decided to tease him a little.

"So Athrun who is the girl you met earlier?" she asked in her sweet voice

Athrun still in deep thought snapped out of it "huh, who, ah, oh. She's just a new kid who looks lost, so I decided to help her out." He said. Trying to hide is shaking voice. But Lacus noticed, so she decided to continue.

"Do you know the class she'll be put into? cos I think she might end up in our class. Her face suggests it but you won't know because she looks so young and pretty from afar but you can tell her age by the way her body is and her face definitely has the radiance of a person of our age."

Athrun just looked at the pink haired beauty with fascination. How could she know all this by just one look from not too far away? "Well Lacus I don't know about that. We'll just have to wait and see" he said. But Lacus pressed on

"So do you know her name?"

Damn! he had totally forgotten to ask her. But anyways he'll see her later. It was a school after all. Sighing, he said to Lacus "No." moving ahead of lacus now "But don't worry, I'll still see her again. After all, she does go to this school."

Lacus just watched Athrun walk up front. I think Athrun likes a girl. She thought to herself. This is going to be fun.

Cagalli was now walking through the hall way, but this time with a map and class schedule. After the welcome lecture Principal Durandal gave her about the schools prestige and how it has kept itself at the top for years and how it plans to stay that way through diligence, discipline and hard work. Men, that lecture had been way too long. If she had had the space, she was so sure that she would have fallen asleep. But he sent her off to her new class at the right time.

Stopping in front of a classroom, she read the heading "Room 406" She looked at her schedule. The class matches. Well Cagalli, this will be your class for the rest of your senior year. She thought to herself. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door.

The Physics class was interrupted by the door opening. Every eye was turned towards a certain blonde that stood by the door. This made Cagalli feel uncomfortable. The worst part of starting a new school is meeting the class and the gasp that they will give when they know she is royalty.

The teacher was the first to break the silence. "May her help you?" SHE said with a kind and gentle voice. This made Cagalli feel a little bit at ease.

"Yes ma'am. I've been assigned to this class." She said, handing her schedule to the lady. The lady took it and looked at it for a while, before she said "Very well then. My name is Murrue Ramius and I'm the Physics teacher. What's your name?"

This is it…"Cagalli Yula Artha." And she was right, gasp came afterwards. But out of the surprised faces the one who seemed more shocked was a blue haired lad who was sitting by the window at the back. But Cagalli was yet to notice him.

"So we have royalty in our mist." Murrue said "But don't worry, I'm sure the class will treat you like any other student" she said facing the class. Handing over Cagalli's schedule back to Cagalli, an idea popped into her head.

"You know what, why don't you seat with the best student in my class. And I'm sure he'll take good care of you and show you around and all the rest of it, right Athrun?" saying excitedly.

This got the attention of the blue hair by the window, who before now was still shocked that he had bumped into the pretty princess. He will admit that she had been on his mind since he left her in the hallway. And Lacus had to make worse by asking questions.

"Right Athrun?" this got Athrun out his thought. "Yes Ms Ramius. "

Cagalli who noticed Athrun the moment his name was mentioned started to make her way to sit beside Athrun. And he was quite far, even if it was a small class. Cagalli could see the faces of her new classmates. There was this one that fascinated her out of all. A boy sitting beside a brown haired girl, he had silver just like an old man, and the scowl on his face made him look worse. Cagalli had to hold her laugh when she passed by him. The pink haired she saw earlier was sitting right in front of Athrun, and a spiky brown haired boy sat beside her. And in the next to them was obviously the twin of the pink haired cos the resemblance was uncanny. And Cagalli thought the girl was glaring at her; come to think of it most of the girls in the class were glaring at her, but why? Cagalli decided to brush it off. She took her seat beside Athrun, who was smiling,

"We meet again, Miss". Cagalli was starting to get pissed off with this guy calling her miss. But she had to put that aside cos the teacher resumed her teaching. So she just forced a smile and said

"Hmmn" with a nod.

The hour just seems to draw slowly, because the class was too quiet. They were now in Algebra class. All you could hear was the teacher talking and the occasional pen on paper, excluding that, nothing more. No side talks, no retorts from students, just an attentive class. And this got on Cagalli's nerves. And she thought Military School was worse, but she was wrong. At one or two occasions she caught Lacus turning back to smile at her. That really touched Cagalli unlike the person sitting right next to her who hasn't even looked at her since he said his 'hello'. He must be really into his studies, She thought. But Cagalli saw the glare she got from most of the girls in the class, especially Lacus's twin. She might look like Lacus but she ain't as pretty as her.

BELL RINGS…

"Finally were semi-free!" Cagalli stood up and shouted, attracting the class towards her. It was now lunch break and Cagalli couldn't help her shouting for joy. Even if it caused some stares. You couldn't blame the girl; quiet was not her nature and never will be.

By the time she had gotten her composure, half of the class had already gone for lunch. Leaving only few people left in the class, who were also preparing to leave. She looked beside her to see maybe Athrun was there, but sadly he wasn't. She sighed a heavy sigh, cos she was hoping he would show her around. Oh well, he's loss.(A/N she meant he's loss to console herself.)

Just has she left the class, having no clue has to where she should go, she heard a voice call out to her

"Took you long enough princess." Cagalli looked to her side to see Athrun a few feet from their classroom door. He had been resting on the wall, waiting patiently for her to finish.

"You've been waiting for me? But why?" was all she could say.

"Because Ms Ramius told me to take care of you, and I gave my word. What did you think that I was going to bail on you?" Cagalli gave a guilty laugh while scratching the back of her head which only confirmed to Athrun that she had thought so. Shaking his head, he leaned off the wall.

"Come on lets go, we don't want to be late for lunch. And my friends are already waiting for us. "

"Friends?" Cagalli said as if hearing the word for the first time.

"Yes friends, you know you the one you hang out with when you are free" Athrun said

"Of course I know. I'm just surprised that they want to meet me, that's all." She spat out

"Well they want to. So come on or we are going to be late"

They walked side by side to the cafeteria. Athrun was stealing glances at Cagalli, and quite frankly he didn't know what was going on with him but he was getting to like the blonde beside him. All through class he couldn't stare at her, for fear of overlooking at her. She was very pretty he had to admit to himself, and since he saw her he hadn't been able to keep his mind off her. And to top it up she's the princess! The princess of Orb, and practically the most important teenager in Orb Union. Nobody will want to mess with her. And when he thought nobody, he knew who he was talking about. He too had seen the glare girls in the class had given her, especially Meer Campbell. But things like that couldn't be helped; Cagalli had been the only girl to successfully sit beside him without him pushing her away, and after that was Lacus.

They were almost at the cafeteria when Cagalli asked an odd question

"Do you think your friends will like me? I know I'm the princess and all and I can have as much friends as I want. But I am not really a people person, especially those who call themselves 'my friends' for their own personal gain."

Cagalli hadn't wanted to ask Athrun this, but she had to tell him and let him know. She had been through so many schools and it had all been the same thing, friends who want to benefit. That was why she preferred being the outcast, the stubborn and rebellious one. No one would follow her if she was like that. Plus it was very soothing.

Athrun just looked at the princess and smiled, "There's nothing to worry about. My friends will see your true self." He said assuringly. And this seemed to calm Cagalli a bit, so now to meet new friends, she thought. But she was in for a surprise.

As they swung the door open, Cagalli gasped in surprise. Taking in the view she was seeing in front of her. Then after registering it in her head,

"Oh shit!"

What exactly did Cagalli see to make her curse? Well find out in the next chapter of taming the princess.
