a/n-woot, another chapter.

Recap:

While the two were arguing, Lacus took the opportunity to ask Kira. "So what club are you trying for?"

"Uh…maybe the music club." Kira replied.

"That would be great!" Lacus exclaimed.

"You think so?" Kira questioned.

"Yeah! We'll have time to practice with each other." Lacus said happily.

"Then I can't wait." Kira said with a smile.

Chapter 4

It was around evening when everyone in the school received an e-mail of their semester schedules.

Cagalli was looking through her e-mail. Everything seemed fine, and her schedule wasn't really tight. (Well, at least she didn't think it was tight) The blond was about to log off, when she noticed a note at the end of her e-mail by her principal.

Dear Ms. Cagalli Yula Attha, I would like to thank you for deciding on joining the team so fast. Mr. Athrun Zala has informed me of your ability on swimming and I would like to represent our school. I have given permission to Mr. Zala, the swim coach, to give you extra training if there will be any competitions that will come up during the school year. I wish you the best of luck through out the rest of the school year.

Your Sincerely,
Mr. La Flaga

The blonde's eyes widen in surprise. "What!? I said I MIGHT join doesn't mean I have to join the club!" Cagalli looked at the e-mail again. "I can't believe I'm letting Zala control my life…"
Cagalli continued to stare into the screen. "No, I'm not going to let anyone control my life here. I'll show you Zala."

The Next Day

A sleeping blond was peacefully sleeping when suddenly her alarm clock hit 7:15 am. Groaning in her sleep, she used her pillow to cover her ears to stop the sound hitting her eardrums. Sadly, it was unsuccessful. Finally giving up, Cagalli finally came out of bed to get read for her first class of the semester which starts 7:30 am.

Athrun was sitting alone in his first class; Physics Advanced. His first class was early in the morning, which started at 7:30. It was 7:25 and his class was already packed with students. He was sitting alone in the classroom while everyone was chatting with their friends. Athrun felt lonely, all of his male friends started class at 10:00 while he started at 7:30. "How unfair…" The handsome mid-night boy sat near the window, not attempting to make any new friends yet. He was sitting quietly in his desk when a pink-haired girl approached him.

"Lacus?" Athrun stared at the girl in disbelieve.

"Oh no, Lacus is my cousin. My name is Mia Campbell." Mia answered him.

"Oh, never mind then." Athrun then resumed staring out into space, not attempting to acquaintance with the Lacus look alike.

He's a pretty interesting guy, Mia thought. She flipped her hair and proceeded to talk to the handsome boy.

"So you are friends with my cousin?" Mia asked.

"Yeah, I've known her for a long time." The blue haired boy replied without looking at her.

Mia had a side view of his gorgeous face. "You know," she started, "you are pretty cute."

"Why thank you." Athrun said, finally facing her.

"Alright class," the professor walked in, "it's 7:35, I'm five minutes late. Please take your seats."

Mia looked at the seat beside Athrun, it was empty. "Mind if I sit here?" Mia asked.

"Not at all." He did not have any friends, might as well.

"Welcome to Physics Advanced class. I am Professor Hambling and it seems like I will be one of the two teachers that will be teaching Physics Advanced this year. I am not a strict teacher as I say so myself. But if I have to be firm, I will. I-"

"Sorry I'm late professor." A blonde was standing at the door.

"Please take a seat to the empty seat at the back." The professor requested while pointing at the empty seat.

Cagalli looked at the direction of where her professor was pointing to. The empty seat was in front of a blue haired boy, Athrun Zala. She nodded and made her way towards her seat.

When she finally took a seat, she heard a whisper from behind her. "Hey, never knew we'll be in the same class."

"What a nightmare," Cagalli muttered under her breath.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A group of friends were sitting in the shade under a tree eating their lunches.

"I hate all of you," Cagalli started, "why do all of you peeps start your Monday classes later than me and Athrun?"

"It's not our fault; you just took a lot of courses unlike us." Lacus stated.

"I still hate you guys…"

"So how were your classes you two?" Shiho asked Cagalli and Athrun.

"Not bad," Athrun said, "I met your cousin, Lacus."

"Mia?"

"Yeah, she seems…very interested in me. She keeps talking to me and asking about personal questions during class."

"She's interested in all handsome guys."

"Why thanks Lacus, I'm flattered." Athrun said proudly.

"Ugh… I hate that class." Cagalli stated flatly.

"Why? It can't be that bad." Milly said curiously.

"The professor started teaching already; it's hard to understand his concepts. An ugly green monkey sits beside me and keeps staring at me. When I turn my head and ask him to stop staring at me, he smirks at me. MAN! What is wrong with that guy?!" Cagalli summarized.

"Am I hearing it right? Does he have green hair?" Milly asked

"Yeah, I think his name is Yomi Takashi or something like that."

After hearing that name, most of the people gasped in horror.

"Why are you people so scared?" Dearka asked stupidly.

"Dearka, haven't you heard of him? He's said to be a molester and takes pictures of people changing. He was just released out of the criminal record because people couldn't find enough evidence to press charges."

"No wonder the teacher kept glancing at him during class time!" Athrun said.

"Then why did this school had to accept him!? He's dangerous!" Kira yelled.

"The school can't, everyone is welcomed to the school and there's no proof that he's a molester." Yzak said.

"It looks like this school year is going to be more dangerous than what I expect." Cagalli commented.

"You won't be in much danger, I think his victims are mostly girls." Athrun said smartly.

What a stupid guy, the group of friends thought.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The school days had already class and everyone in the school was able to get to know their classes and their classmates. Weekend had finally arrived.

Everyone had heard Yomi Takashi was attending the school. Every girl in the school stayed alert to stay safe 24/7.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since it was the weekend, the 8 friends decided to go out for a while to get away from school.

Athrun definitely needed a break from school. Even thought it was only 5 days of school for him, but he needed a break. Just last night, Athrun managed to scare Kira out of his wits.

Flashback

It was in the middle of the night when Kira heard a knock on his bedroom door. He looked at the clock on his bedside table. 2:55, who would knock on his door at 2:55?! Hesitantly, h egot out of bed and opened the door to find his best friend at the door.

"Athrun, it's almost 3:00, I need my sleep." Kira yawned in between his sentence.

"Kira…"

"What?"

"I think I'm having a MAJOR problem." Athrun confessed.

"Can't we talk tomorrow?" Kira asked while giving another yawn.

"Kira, this problem has been bugging me for the past week, I need to get it over with. I need your advice."

"You won't stop bugging me until I say I'ill help you right?"

"You know me too well." Athrun invited himself inside Kira's bedroom. He dragged the chair from Kira's desk near the bed while Kira sat at the end of the bed, ready to listen to his best friend's problem.

"Kira…" Athrun started.

"Continue…" Kira said tiredly.

"I…"

"Anytime soon…"

"I think I'm gay…" Athrun said weirdly.

Kira heard his sentence and slowly, making sure Athrun won't get offended; he slowly covered his manhood area using a blanket.

"Athrun…very funny, I need my sleep. I'm not in the mood for a joke."

"I'm not joking Kira. Everything is wrong with me!"

"Athrun, you have a playboy reputation to live up to, you can't just turn gay!"

"I don't know what's wrong with me. Kira, I really need help."

"I can't really help you. If you are interested in me, I'm sorry, I don't swing that way."

"Kira, I'm serious. I've been thinking about Cagalli lately."

"Cagalli?" Kira asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, I thought he was a pretty interesting guy. He was slightly feminine but he was interesting guy. I thought he would be a pretty awesome close friend to have." Athrun stated.

Kira stared at his best friend, having no clue what to say to him.

"But lately, I think I'm not thinking right. I've found myself staring at him during class time. This is not possible Kira, I even sometimes daydream about him! I DON'T WANT TO BECOME GAY KIRA! I EVEN HAVE DREAMS ABOUT HIM BEING MY GIRLFRIEND! Kira, you've go to help me."

"Hey man…chill…it's nice to change…once in a while." Kira said unsurely.

"I don't want this kind of change Kira! When I look at his eyes, I get absorbed by them. I don't want to become this way…" Athrun was scared. He couldn't believe that he was dreaming of a guy that he met a week ago.

"Athrun…it's okay, I'll still be your best friend even though…you are not who you use to be." Kira stated. Even though he said that he was thinking how stupid his best friend was to not figure out Cagalli was a girl. He had been in most of her classes for crying out loud and he still hasn't figured it out.

Athrun looked at Kira straight in his eyes. The gaze Athrun gave Kira made the brunette shiver.

"Stop staring!" Kira yelled.

"Your eyes…" Athrun started.

"What's wrong with my eyes?"

"It's the same as Cagalli." Athrun continued staring.

This scared Kira a lot! Grabbing his pillow, he threw it towards the midnight haired-boy and it hit him square in the face.

"Athrun! Don't stare at me like that! It freaks me out! Go to your Cagalli and stare at those eyes for god sakes!!!"

"That look so familiar.."

"You know what Athrun, I'm taking you out tomorrow. I think you need a break from school and it's only the first week." Kira sighed…look like this is going to be a long semester.

"Those eyes…" Athrun repeated.

End of flashback

"So how are you feeling Athrun?" Kira asked with curiosity. "Relax and don't think about it." The group of friends was hanging around a bar, talking, laughing and drinking.

"I'm fine. Just been thinking a lot." Athrun answered.

"Relax, this isn't the playboy Athrun I knew. Usually, he's stress-free."

"Kira, this is serious, I'm not really think I'm myself." Athrun confessed.

"Don't worry, everything is going to be fine. I promise you that, everything will be just right. I was planning to have some fun with you but I guess I'm not. Since you are going to know sooner or later." Kira said happily.

Athrun looked at the brunette confused. "What are you talking about? You don't make any sense at all. Stop joking around."

"Trust me on this Athrun, everything is going to be fine." With that, Kira left a confused Athrun alone.

"Hey Kira, is Athrun okay? He's just sitting alone staring into space." Lacus asked.

"Yeah, he's fine. He's just having some difficulties." Kira replied.

"What kind of difficulties?" Cagalli asked with curiosity.

Kira smirked. "You guys will find out soon enough."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday-back to school

Athrun's POV

Another physics advanced class. Sigh…when will this class end?

I was thinking about my problem the whole weekend and it definitely did not improve. I've grown more scared about my affection towards Cagalli. Yeah, he's a great friend but I don't want to swing that way. When did I become like this?

Once again, I find myself staring at him again! Where did my playboy attitude go? Did I play with girls that much that I'm having interest in guys? No! This cannot be!

"Athrun!" I turned around and saw the blond in front of me to ask me a question. I stared at his beautiful ember eyes. WAIT! BEAUTIFUL?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?

End of Athrun's POV

"Athrun!" Cagalli yelled.

"What?" Athrun asked.

"What's up with you? You've been spacing out lately. Are you okay?" she stared right into his eyes.

No...not those eyes again…Athrun thought.

"So are you okay?" Cagalli asked again.

"What? Oh, yeah I am."

"Are you sure?" Cagalli questioned.

"I'm sure."

"Alright then."

"Hey, Cagalli," Athrun started,

"What?"

"Did you receive a note from Mr. La Fllaga about the team?" Athrun asked.

"Yeah, thanks to you, I have no choice…." Cagalli muttered under her breath.

"Were you informed that the first meeting of every single club would be held next week?"

"No…"

"You know what? I want you to know more about your skills. Can you come to the swimming pool after school today so I can know how your skills are?" Athrun requested.

"What?! Why do I have to do that!?" Cagalli exclaimed.

"Because I want to know more about your skills on swimming."

"I am not going." Cagalli stated firmly.

"Why? I need to know!" Athrun said.

"I'm not going and that's final."

"I'll treat you to a meal. How bout that?" Athrun said.

Cagalli was silent for a while, thinking. She wanted some fun before she exposed her gender and she knows Athrun is still clueless about her being a girl but she also wanted a free meal. She was low on cash already, some how and she needed as many free meals she can get as possible.

"Well?" Athrun asked.

"Make it two."

"I'm not a rich boy!"

"Two! Take it or leave it. Stop lying, I know you're rich." Cagalli stated firmly.

Now it was Athrun's turn to think.

Cagalli smirked, she was in charge now!

"Fine…two meals."

Cagalli smirked again, "With everyone"

"Fine…." Athrun said sadly. He knows that he will regret this sooner or later but he doesn't know what surprise would be waiting him after school with his time with a certain blonde.
