Chapter 2: A Clue

Cagalli ran through the hallways, as if it she was running away from death. She had covered up her now tearful face, with her hands. As she approached the girl's restroom, she barged in through the doors, and into a stall. She wept quietly in there.

Athrun quickly lets go of the girl, as he asked her, "Are you okay?"

"Yes," the girl nodded as she had a slight pink running across her face. "Thank you for saving me, before I fell to the floor." The girl thanked him, as she bowed and quickly picked up her books. With that she left the sight of Athrun's.

"No problem" Athrun managed to get out, before she had left. He then remembered about what Cagalli had seen. With that he quickly ran the direction she had gone.

Lunch was officially over now. Everyone had gather back into their classrooms, as the afternoon lectures were going to begin soon. Just as Lacus and her friends had entered the classroom, Lacus noticed that Cagalli was not to be found.

"Milly, have you seen Cagalli?" Lacus asked as she gave her a concern look. Milly looked up at Lacus, and then at Cagalli's seat.

"No, not since the lunch incident." Milly responded. Lacus just nodded as she was now getting worried.

"If your looking for that loser, Athha. She's in the restroom crying like a little baby, boo hoo" Meer had said, as she imitated a baby. Fllay and Lunamaria had giggled at this, as Meer join in with the laughter. Lacus gave them a slight glare, with that she ran out the classroom to search for Cagalli.

"Hey Lacus, would you like it if Stellar and I join you?" Milly asked as she walked out to the hallways. Lacus looked back at her, and just smiled.

"No it's fine, you guys just get in class, and I'll be back soon."

"Lacus...watch out!" Stellar yelled as she pointed in Lacus's direction to make her look forward. Lacus turned around to be faced with a big bump.

"Sorry, I was in a hurry to find a friend," Lacus had quickly explained as she rubbed her bottom.

"Lacus, are you okay?!" a familiar voice said. Lacus looked up to find it to be none other than, Kira.

"Kira?" Lacus questioned confused. "Oh, and I'm alright." She smiled to show him proof as she got up and dusted herself off. Kira just stood there as a slight blush came on his face.

"Sorry I bumped into you" Kira looked down as his chocolate, brown hair covered his violet eyes.

"No, it fine. It was basically my fault, since I had been running in the hallways. Please don't be sorry." Lacus said, as she bent down to see his face. Kira blushed at this, as he quickly lifted his head. Lacus stood back to normal, and smiled at him.

"Uh..um..oh..k-kay" Kira shuddered, as his face became a tomato. Lacus giggled.

"Well see you Kira" Lacus waved, as she ran off to find Cagalli again.

Cagalli was still weeping a bit. She didn't know why she couldn't stop. She knew she was stronger than this. But she had no clue, why it makes her suffer so much. Her heart was aching, as if in pain. She was jealous, as you might add. Even though Cagalli didn't want to admit it. Suddenly as Cagalli thought about Athrun, she heard a voice call her name, "Cagalli?" She knew who it was, Lacus.

Lacus looked at the bottom of the stalls to see where her friend was. She quickly spotted her, and walked over to that stall. She knocked on the door.

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

"Yeah, I'm fine." Cagalli choked out, as she wiped away the tears. 'I don't want Lacus to worry' were Cagalli's thoughts.

"Well can you open the door?" Lacus asked.

"Yeah," with that Cagalli opens the door with a big smile on her face. You can tell that she was crying by looking at her puffy eyes. Just then a growl had came from Cagalli's stomach. This caused the girls to look at each other, and then they both erupted into laughter.

"Cagalli, did you get to each lunch, at all?" Lacus question her tomboyish friend.

"Heh, no, not at all" Cagalli chuckled as she brought a hand to the back of her head, and began to scratch it while laughing.

"Then, after school we'll go over to my place to have a big dinner!" Lacus squealed as she hugged her friend tightly. Cagalli smiled as she hugged her back.

"Thank you Lacus, you're the best" Cagalli said, as she hugged even tighter. Lacus smiled at this.

Athrun:

Athrun ran and ran, but didn't seem to find Cagalli. He decided to give up, and just talk to her tomorrow.

"Why do you have to be such an idiot at times?" Athrun questioned himself, as he leaned against a wall, staring out the window. He let our a sigh as he slid down and sat on the cold, hard floor.

After School:

"Yay, school is finally out!" Meyrin cheered as she ran out the building in a flash. Everyone just blinked, but then began to exit out too.

"Man, school can be so tiring" Milly opinionated. Stellar just nodded, as she strolled along behind her. Suddenly a clash of boys had came along too.

"Hey there, sweetie" Dearka whispered into Milly's ear as he grabbed onto her waist from behind. This made Milly blush and giggle.

"Dearka, stop it. We're still on school grounds" Milly teased him, as she gave him a peak on the cheek. Dearka let's go of her, as he holds onto her hand.

Shinn had came up, and stood by Stellar. They both had just witnessed the scene, Stellar had blush, while Shinn just sweat dropped.

"Hey Stellar" Shinn spatted out, as he faced Stellar. Stellar turned to face him, as the slight pink was still on her cheeks.

"Hello Shinn, how are you?" Stellar smiled at him. This made Shinn blush as he turned around, so she couldn't see it. Stellar was confused, as she try to look at his face by walking to the other side. But that didn't work as Shinn would just turn around to the other way.

"Aww, Shinn is blushing!" Dearka teased him, as he began to chuckle. Shinn was now flaming red, as he ran over to Dearka and punched him in the guts.

"Owwie" Dearka managed to get out, as he clutched his stomach on the ground. Milly just shook her head. 'You'll never learn Dearka' She thought.

"Hmph, it's what you deserve" Shinn said as she dusted off his hands. Stellar just stood there blinking. She began to laugh, as she looked at the helpless Dearka on the floor. Shinn was surprised by this, but began to laugh too. Milly soon joined in with the laughter with them as well.

Just then, Kira and Athrun had came up to the two of them.

"What's up guys?" Kira asked them. Everyone had stopped their laughter, and Dearka had gotten up and dusted himself off. They all then looked at Athrun.

"Oh, this is Athrun, everyone. He's in our class remember" Kira said trying to refresh everyone's mind.

"Ohhhhh yeah" everyone said. Kira and Athrun sweat dropped.

"Anyways, where is Cagalli and Lacus?" Kira asked the group.

"No clue" Milly responded. Everyone else just shrugged their shoulders, signaling that they didn't know.

Suddenly Kira felt his cell phone make a buzzing sound. He looked at it, and it was a text message from Cagalli.

"I got a text from Cagalli" Kira announced to the group. He then began to read it, "Kira, Lacus and I had already gone home to Lacus's house. So don't wait for us. Sorry we didn't tell you guys sooner. Please forgive us. Love, Cagalli."

"Well there you have it, she left. So we might as well leave too" Shinn said, as he began to walk off. Stellar looked over as Shinn walked away, and decided to catch up to him.

"Mind if I come along?" Stellar asked him. Shinn looked over to see, Stellar. He quickly blush, but responded this time.

"Sure" was all he said. With that, Stellar waved goodbye to everyone, and the two were off.

"Aww, isn't that cute?" Dearka asked being his stupid self. Milly just punched him in the head, as she began to walk off, dragging him.

"Well, were off Kira and Athrun. See you guys tomorrow at school." Milly said as she saluted, and then began to drag the unconscious Dearka along. Kira waved goodbye, as Athrun just smiled.

"Well Athrun, I guess it's just us two. What do you want to do?" Kira asked him. Athrun shrugged, as he didn't know.

"Want to just go and chill at my house?" Kira had asked.

"Sure, sounds cool" Athrun finally spoke. Kira smiled, and with that the two were off to Kira's house.

Lacus's House:

"Yes, finally out of school, and now I can relax!" Cagalli sighed, as she tossed her backpack over the sofa, onto the floor. With that Cagalli jumped over the sofa and landed softly on it. Lacus giggled, as she walked into the kitchen.

"Well, I'm going to see what's in the fridge. So you can eat something, before dinner" Lacus explained as she rumbled through the fridge.

"Well looks like your stuck with an apple, till dinner" Lacus chuckled as she tossed the apple at Cagalli. Cagalli caught it in her hand, as she took a big bite from it.

"Oh well. Anyways, can I go on the computer to check my e-mails?" Cagalli asked Lacus as she took another juicy bite.

"Yeah, sure go ahead. I'll get started on dinner" Lacus said, as she walked back into the kitchen. Cagalli smiled, as she went upstairs to the computer room. She quickly signed onto one, and then signed onto aim.

Cagalli's and Kira's House:

"So this is my and Cagalli's house" Kira said, as they entered the doors.

"Cagalli?!" Athrun said surprised.

"Yeah, her and I are twins" Kira smiled, as he and Athrun walked in, and sat on the couch in the living room.

"Oh" was all that came out of Athrun's mouth. Kira laid his backpack on the ground, as did Athrun.

"Hey, we'll have dinner later, wanna stay?" Kira asked, as he walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah sure" Athrun said, as he looked around in the empty room.

"Hey Kira, do you have a computer here?" Athrun asked him.

"Yeah, you can go onto my computer. My room is upstairs to the right" Kira explain, as he began to get the stuff out for dinner preparation. Kira also got out a cook book, as he began to cook dinner.

Athrun had made it into Kira's room, and surprisingly it was clean. He thought that guys room would be a bit more messy, but Athrun knew Kira. And Kira was a neat freak. Athrun chuckle at this, as he sat down onto the comfy chair and signed onto aim.

'Oh Cali's on' Athrun thought, as he double click on her screen name and typed.

Emeraldeyes47: Hey Cali, what's up?
GOLDENxORBS: Hey there Alex! Nothing much, just hungry since I didn't get to eat lunch. T-T
Emeraldeyes47: chuckles at your smiley lol now why is that?
GOLDENxORBS: Just really complicated stuff, there was a new guy at school, and every time I see him. My heart feel as if it skipped a beat.
Emeraldeyes47: Well this guy seems like a competition for me.
GOLDENxORBS: Lol, idiot. xD
Emeraldeyes47: haha there's that Cali I know
GOLDENxORBS: Thanks Alex, you always make my day.
Emeraldeyes47: That's why I'm here x)
GOLDENxORBS: Anyways, what's up with you?
Emeraldeyes47: Well I met this really cute girl. But I think I might of made her upset, because of a misunderstanding.
GOLDENxORBS: Aww, maybe you should talk to her tomorrow.
Emeraldeyes47: Yeah I plan to.
Emeraldeyes47: But it sucks cause I barely got to talk to her, since some crazy fan-girls came out of no where, and almost killed me!
GOLDENxORBS: LOL! Haha I feel sorry for you. So you have lots of fan-girls at Zaft don't ya? Lol xD
Emeraldeyes47: Well not really, I just moved to Orb and was a new guy at school, and I guess the girls went crazy. Lol sucks being a transfer student. .

"Cagalli, dinner!" Lacus called for her.

"Coming!" Cagalli yelled back, as she didn't read the last sentence he wrote and typed back.

GOLDENxORBS: Sorry, I have to go now. My friend made dinner so yeah. I'll talk to you tomorrow alright?
Emeraldeyes47: Oh it's cool. I have dinner too. Alright talk to ya later. Bye.
GOLDENxORBS: See ya, Bye!
GOLDENxORBS has now signed off. (A/N: As you guys have noticed, they don't use their real names over the internet. So yeah those are the name they told each other)

"Athrun, dinner is ready" Kira called out to him. Athrun quickly signed off of aim, and walked downstairs to have dinner with Kira.

"Looks yummy, Kira" Athrun smiled, as he looked at the delicious food.

"Thanks, well let's dig in!" Kira said, as he sat down, and so did Athrun. They soon began their meal.

"Hey Athrun, if you want, you can sleep over tonight. Since I think Cagalli's going to be sleeping over at Lacus's anyways. Also your parent's aren't living with you, since their back at Zaft right?" Kira questioned him.

"Yeah there still there. They transferred me here, cause I wanted to see how it was in Orb. Oh and yeah I'll stay over tonight." Athrun smiled at him, as the two finished their meal.

"That was great, Kira. You're an awesome chef!" Athrun complimented him.

"Thanks again" Kira chuckled, as he and Athrun washed the dishes.

"Anyways, you can sleep in Cagalli's room, cause we don't have a guest room. And my bed is too small. Also my floor is really hard. So you can sleep on her bed. It's huge!" Kira said, as it made Athrun laugh.

"Alright." Athrun said, as the two went up the stairs. "Well night Kira."

"Night." Kira said, as he entered his room to the right. On the left was Cagalli's room.

Athrun turned the knob as he was surprised at her room. He would of thought it would be more girly and pinkish. But it was the opposite, well kind of. Instead of pink, it was green. Everything seem green. Even her walls. Her carpet was white, but there was a rug that was a lime-green color. He looked at her desk, and their was her laptop. As he walked over he could see pictures of Cagalli and Kira when their little, and their appearance now. Also pictures of Cagalli and her group of friends. This made Athrun smile, but he was soon getting tired. He took off his uniform jacket and shirt, as he only had his white wifebeater on. He also took off his pants, and only had on his stripped boxer. He quickly slid into the green blanket and comforter.

'This is soft, and it smells nice' Athrun thought, as he pulled it over his head, and dozed off.

Lacus's House:

"Are you sure you don't want to sleep over, Cagalli?" Lacus asked, as they both stood at the door.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Kira will probably die without me there" Cagalli joked.

"Oh okay, well see you tomorrow at school" Lacus said, as she opened the door.

"See ya" Cagalli said, as she entered the taxi. Lacus waved goodbye, as it drove off.

"Yes, I'm finally home" Cagalli said, as she paid the taxi driver, and got out the car. With that the taxi drove off. Cagalli got the keys out of her skirt's pocket. (A/N: Yes, she's wearing a skirt, cause it's the uniform at her school) As she found her keys, she quickly put it into the lock, and turned it. She locked the door back, as she walked into the kitchen to smell food.

"Looks like Kira made himself a meal for once" Cagalli said to herself, as she walked up the stairs and opened Kira's door to find him fast asleep. Cagalli smiled, as she quietly shut the door, and then entered her room. She tossed her backpack on the floor next to her desk, as she went into the restroom to change to her pajamas. She had a dark green tanktop on, with camouflage sweat capris. She then quickly jumped onto the bed, as she hits something hard with her arm. She had thought it was just her desk. She was too sleepy to notice, with that she fell into a deep slumber.
