Thanks for reviewing! Ok, I think I shall use both! But Meer will come in first. Meyrin will come in later. Thanks! Sorry I took longer than usual. I kept on rewriting some parts. Also sorry to those who are expecting more of the baby project but there won't be anymore unless I think of a better idea for that part.

Chapter 6

Cagalli Hibiki sighed as she walked towards her locker. Athrun has been acting weirdly. She couldn't understand his odd behaviour. Firstly he had been cold towards her right after Mr La Fllaga spared them from the agony of the baby project. He reverted back to his usual ice-prince-mode. She felt a little depressed then. She didn't like him ignoring her. Then something happened yesterday.

Flashback...

"Let go of me Yuna!" Cagalli snapped.

"Aww don't be like this darling..." a boy with wavy lavender hair tied up in a low ponytail said, leaning closer to Cagalli.

Suddenly, she saw his dark silky midnight blue hair flash across her face. In less than a second, Yuna flew to the ground.

"She said let go. Don't you understand English?" Athrun gritted through his teeth. He looked murderously angry.

Taking her hand, Athrun took off with Cagalli. They left Yuna on the floor baffled. Cagalli wanted to yell at Athrun and say that he didn't have to butt in as she could take care of herself. But something about his expression made her change her mind and she decided to keep mum.

Athrun noticed the silent blonde. She usually had something to say. Moreover, she obediently followed him and allowed him to drag her out. Worried, he turned to her and asked, "Are you ok? Did he do anything to you?"

Cagalli looked back at him confused. "No. Like I would let him! Why?"

"N...nothing," Athrun replied.

The two continued walking until Cagalli realised she was outside her house.

"Thanks for sending me home Athrun. I'll see you tomorrow," Cagalli said before she went in.

Athrun merely nodded and walked off.

End of flashback...

Opening her locker, she sighed again. Seven fan mails/ love letters. She had just cleared her locker this morning and yet they found their way into her locker again. She had been receiving these letters since the first day she came to school. Boys and girls alike would send her these letters. She couldn't bear to throw away them away even though she considered them as junk and found them annoying. How could she when her fellow students took the time and trouble to write to her? So she just left the whole lot of letters in a corner in her room and would read them in her free time.

The day was now over and all Cagalli had to do was to go to the chiller room and help Miss Ramius collect a few items. Then she was free to go home. She stuffed her bag and phone inside the locker, figuring that she would need both hands to carry Miss Ramius' things.

... ... ...

Meer Campbell was the current manager of the baseball club at ArcAngel Academy. Because of the way she acts and dresses, many would term her as 'slutty'. But there were also quite a large number of boys who would swoon over her and worship her like a goddess.

She got almost everything she wanted, everything except one boy. And that was the ice prince, Athrun Zala. No matter what she did, she just could not get his attention. When she tried the more direct approach of asking him out, he rejected her straight in the face.

Flashback...

The baseball club had just finished one of their practices. "Here you go Athrun," Meer winked as she handed a bottle of water to Athrun.

Athrun barely looked at her. He ignored her and immediately turned away, getting another bottle of water from the bench.

Meer didn't give up. She took his evasiveness as a sign of him playing hard to get. Trying one more time, she stood in front of him, completely blocking his way so that he could not escape. "Are you free this Saturday? Let's go out on a date," She smiled seductively as she closed the gap between them, drawing random circles on Athrun's chest.

Sweeping her fingers off, Athrun replied coldly, "Firstly, I don't like people touching me. Secondly, I am not free and never will be. Now get out of my way."

"Come on now sweetie pie, you don't have to be shy..." Meer held her ground. She was confident that he would go out with her. No boy could resist her charms.

"Did I not make myself clear? I said I do not want to go out with you, not now and not ever. Get lost, you are annoying me," Athrun said icily as he pushed her aside and walked off.

End of flashback...

That of course humiliated Meer. She was beyond furious and embarrassed. She found it hard to accept. Many boys would want to be her boyfriend, but not Athrun. She had the mentality that if she can't get him, no one else can. That was why Meer Campbell very much loathed Cagalli Hibiki.

Cagalli was by far the only girl able to capture the attention of the ice prince. To add fuel to Meer's hatred for the new student, Meer's popularity plunged drastically ever since the arrival of Cagalli.

Cagalli's popularity skyrocketed in just a few days and she had become one of the most popular students in the school. She was idolised by both the male and female students. She was not only beautiful, but talented at well. She was good in her studies and she was now the star player in the tennis club.

Meer could never be compared to Cagalli. Cagalli had the looks and the talents. Meer only had the looks if you count the fact that her looks were 'borrowed'.

Her blood boiled every time she would see Cagalli with Athrun. She swore to herself that she was going to make the blonde pay dearly for it.

That opportunity arose when she caught sight of the blonde walking along the corridor alone. "Perfect!" Meer thought. She decided to follow Cagalli. She trailed her across the school and into the chiller room. The chiller room was a gigantic fridge, though food was not stored inside.

"This will teach you a lesson!" Meer smirked as she closed the door, trapping Cagalli inside. Apparently, the chiller room door could only be opened from the outside.

... ... ...

Cagalli Hibiki pulled her knees closer to her chest as she wrapped her arms around her legs. She buried her head on her knees, trying to keep warm. She was freezing. She was stuck inside the chiller room for almost an hour now. She had left her phone inside her locker, there was no way she could call for help. She felt her eyelids getting heavy; she was very sleepy.

"Cagalli? My goodness! What are you doing here?"

Cagalli heard the familiar voice and she looked up.

"A...Ath...r...run?" Cagalli stuttered. Her voice was hoarse and it was difficult for her to speak. She was just too cold.

"How long have you been here? You're freezing!" Athrun ran to her. Cagalli's lips were pale and she was shivering so badly. Athrun felt a sharp pang in his chest. He did not like seeing her in that state.

"Bang!" The two looked towards the door to see it shut. This time, it was a janitor who closed the door. It was late and most of the students had gone home. He thought that one of them just forgot to close the door.

"Damn it! No!" Athrun cursed as he ran for the door and banged it with his fist. "Hey! We're still in here! Open up!" But it was no use; he shouts couldn't go through the thick steel door.

Athrun walked back to the shivering blonde. He took out his phone and sighed, "No battery. What good timing."

Taking off his V-neck pullover, Athrun draped it across Cagalli's shoulders. She accepted it gratefully and wrapped it closer to her body. She was still very cold. The extra layer of cloth did keep her warmer but it was not enough. Suddenly, she felt strong and warm arms wrapping her body. She found herself being pulled into a tight embrace and she immediately turned red.

"A...Ath...runnn w...hat are y...you d...d...doing? L...let me g...goo!" she tried to speak as she struggled against Athrun's hold over her.

"Sharing my heat," Athrun replied, still not letting go of her.

Cagalli gave up arguing back, she was just too cold and too tired. Knowing she would regret it later, she snuggled closer to Athrun, her comfort now was more important. She didn't notice that Athrun was blushing too.

To be continued...

Sorry if you're a bit disappointed with this chapter! This one is shorter but I'll try to make it up next chapter! Athrun is a bit OOC with Meer right? But he has to be this way since he's the ice prince. If there is any way I can improve my story please point it out! I know I may have some typo or grammatical errors but I'll try my best to minimise them. Thanks! Please review!
