A/N: Hope y'all liked the last chapter because this will be the last of the first day! YAY! The story will move faster from this chapter on. Or so I hope. Enjoy!

Previously:

"Bye now," Mwu said interrupting Athrun's sentence, "see ya at practice today, oh and it's…right now!" Mwu smiled while pushing Athrun to practice.

Chapter Six:

"Wow, I see he talked you into this," Kira chuckled seeing Athrun at practice.

"Ha! Thanks to you!" he said with sarcasm while running on the fields.

"Ok Peeps, today I will choose who will be the luckies that gets to be on first string," he said as everyone groan only to know how strict Mwu is on the field, yet he is very lenient in class.

"So...let's start with 50 laps!" he screamed as everyone laughed thinking he was only joking, "I'm serious! Now…GO!"

Everyone took off running trying to get the right pace so they won't be tired after running so much. By the twenty-fifth laps, Mwu blew his whistle signaling everyone to stop running.

"Ha! I'm just kidding 25 laps is normally enough for you guys to run," he said as he watched the team collapse huffing and trying to get the oxygen needed for relieving the lactic acid formed in their aching legs.

"Enough sitting, I need to see you guys to pass and score goals for my decisions," he said.

(A/N: I know nothing of soccer or any after school activity as that matter, except for the marching band, but other than that, my knowledge of sports are ZERO!)

Cagalli and the track team were walking towards the track only to catch a glimpse of a blue haired boy she didn't exactly want to see. Listening to her coach, she ran a mile for warm up, passing both Kira and Athrun on her way around the track. Barely looking at the two, she concentrated on her running, because she wanted to be recognize enough to go to state for the relay race.

Looking around the field her eyes caught a girl with auburn hair taking pictures of the track team and the soccer team. Cagalli smiled at her only to have Miriallia taking pictures of Cagalli's spectacular performance.

Mr. Waltfeld was the coach for the track team as he blew the whistle to the whole team.

"Everyone line up," he yelled, "We're officially picking the members of the track team to go to state this year. I want the best from all of you, and only the best will be able to make it."

Cagalli took a few deep breaths getting ready to hear the whistle for the run off. Three…two…one…and (the sound of a whistle goes off)!

"The first five to finish twenty-five laps go to state, while the others…will begin training with me."

A small smiled tugged on the side of Athrun's lips as he watched Cagalli ran the track…'Why the hell am I smiling?' he asked himself only to get slapped by Mwu.

"Pay attention, Athrun!"Mwu yelled in his ear.

Athrun winced after the sudden outburst in his ears. Athrun began to score goals and passed the ball towards Kira's way. He was doing great until he saw Cagalli had finished her 25 laps and was talking to Shinn.

"What the hell do you want, Shinn?!" Cagalli screamed.

"Temper, temper," Shinn said in a tsking manner.

Cagalli looked at him in a disbelieving way only to have him stuttered at her again.

Shinn let out a deep sigh and began talking…again, "Let me just get this over with."

"FINALLY!" Cagalli yelled showing her impatient-ness.

"Gee thanks, anyway, umm…well I know you're friends with Stellar, and I umm…"

Before Shinn could finish his sentence, Cagalli let out a loud laugh; this didn't go unnoticed by Athrun.

Athrun's eyes gazed upon the laughing blonde as he saw her with Shinn laughing. 'Looks like she's having fun,' he thought. 'Wait why is she laughing?' This got him curious.

'Man this is a pathetic year,' Mwu thought, look at them, distractions, not paying attention, and…what the heck? This is soccer not basket ball!'

"GUYS!!" Mwu yelled, "You dribbled with the inside of your feet, NOT your hands!" Wow this got Mwu furious.

"Take a break; I'm currently making the decisions for first and second string."

'Yes! Now I can see what they're talking about!' Athrun smiled as he went towards the two.

Inching and inching closer he listened in, into their conversation.

"Hey stop laughing at me!" Shinn yelled.

"Sorry, you were all nervous, just because…" Cagalli could finish her sentence due to her laughter.

'Man what are they talking about?' Athrun asked when he overheard Cagalli's laughter.

"Ok…Ok…" Cagalli said trying to reduce her laughter.

"Finally, but umm…anyway, Stellar… I wanna…" Shinn was really tongue tied at the moment, but he assumed that Cagalli knew what he wanted.

"You wanna…what?" Cagalli asked.

"Can you like…talk to her for me?"

Cagalli just laughed waving off a goodbye, "Sure!" She yelled walking away, "Tomorrow morning."

Oblivious to Cagalli and Shinn, Athrun only overheard what Cagalli said. 'Sure? Tomorrow morning? What did she meant by that?'

His thoughts dispersed as he heard the whistled sound by Mwu.

"O…kay… guys… I've made the decision for first and second string. So, let's start with the luckies who made first string," Mwu cleared his throat and began reading the list, "Dearka Elsman! Yzak Joule! Kira Yamato! Sai Argyle! Heine Westenfluss! Nicol Amalfi! Auel Neider! Sting Oakley! And last but not least…"

Athrun was indifferent about soccer before Mwu made him go to practice, because he wasn't planning on joining. But after getting on the field, he enjoyed it. Ever since junior high, he hasn't been joining any after school activity due to academic reasons. But now, he really enjoyed scoring goals and being on the team would give him something to do.

"ATHRUN ZALA!" Mwu said directing his view point towards Athrun and flashing him a smile.

Athrun only shivers to see him giving him that weird smile, but he tried to smile back…or at least to him it was a smile.

"See ya guys tomorrow at practice!" Mwu yelled then blew his whistle signal that practice was over.

The next morning the talked Cagalli had with stellar went smoothly. At least for Cagalli's standard it went smoothly. Cagalli mainly laughed about Shinn rather than making a good impression of him for Stellar. Fortunately luck was on Shinn's side as Stellar told Cagalli how much she had admired him. Luck was definitely on his sides when Shinn overheard the conversation between Cagalli and Stellar. After overhearing Stellar's admiration of him, Shinn jumped from the tree he was in, (A/N: Don't ask me why) and sad for him, he broke his leg.

'Yay! She's not dating him!' Athrun screamed in his mind, 'Wait! Why the heck am I so happy for?' he asked himself. Unlike the first day of school he had yesterday, today actually went smoothly. Although he had almost every class with Cagalli, and sat next or behind her in them, they haven't spoken a word to each other since. It took them almost a month to stop giving each other the cold shoulder, but eventually they got along. That is until a new student transferred.

(A/N) Sorry I would've put this up sooner but I was at a funeral for a very good friend of my sister. Have anyone heard of the Virginia Tech Massacre? Well he died due to it, the ceremony before the funeral was umm boring, but after we all went to the cemetary. After hearing all the heart-breaking cries it was hard not to shed tears for him. I couldn't cry at the time but I'm really sad...although I didn't know him as well as my sister, he was a very nice guy, but he had to die at such a young age. RIP Henh Ly.
