a/n: ahhh!! School started today and to my luck, I have the most horrible teachers ever. –sigh- how depressing.
Anyways, no more complaints from me and here's the next chapter! I actually finished a bit more than half of the teacher like around…2 weeks ago but I did not had the chance to finish the rest until yesterday. But volia! Here it is!
Chapter 6
Another normal, peaceful day, consisting of a nice blue clear sky as birds soared in the blue, students walking to their representative classrooms, students waiting for their professors to come in, and-
"ATHRUN ZALA!" a yell across the class room was being made. I guess this day isn't that peaceful.
As an angry blonde stomped her way towards the said man, many eyes were looking at the situation. "You bloody pervert! Stop sending those freaky e-mails! That e-mail was not funny!" Cagalli was indeed scared by that particular e-mail she received last night. "Just send me a bloody schedule and not some random crap! You don't have to get your revenge like this."
"What are you talking about…?" Athrun was indeed clueless.
"Don't act dumb Zala! You know what I'm talking about." Cagalli's screams continued to entertain the students around them. "Seriously, I have no clue what you are talking about. Sure, he wanted to get revenge but he never actually thought of putting it in action.
"Listen you ugly whore." Meer stood up from her seat beside Athrun. "If honey doesn't know what you are talking about, then he doesn't now stop trying to flirt with him." Cagalli looked at Meer and anger was starting to surface. "Look Meer, I just telling your boyfriend to stop sending me freaky messages! And this is not called flirting! Go learn some vocabulary!"
"Cagalli," Athrun interrupted the two females, "I didn't send you anything. I'm not even done with the schedule yet." Cagalli turned her attention back to Athrun. "You suck at lying. You were the only one there at the swimming pool when we practiced."
"Alright class," the professor walked into the room. "Class has started, go to your seats." Everyone walked and sat on their seats listening to the teacher and preparing for the lecture. As the professor was about to start his lecture, the door slid open showing a guy with green hair and red eyes. "Mr.Takashi, you're late." The professor eyed the person at the door entrance. All teachers were noted to keep a close watch on this student. Even though he wasn't found guilty, everyone knew he was a molester.
"Sorry professor. I had something to do." Yomi Takashi said grinning. The professor just looked at him and said, "Please by on time next time." Yomi just continued grinning, a freaky grin and walked to towards his seat, the seat beside Cagalli.
Athrun was still thinking about the incident before class started. 'What does she mean sending her an e-mail? I never sent her one. That's strange. I wonder what the e-mail was about.' As Athrun continued on with his thoughts, he was staring at Cagalli. He admits, he had a tiny, VERY tiny feeling for Cagalli but he knew she isn't a girl who wouldn't go crazy over him. For his concept of being a playboy, why go for a girl that doesn't even give a damn about you than going for a girl that would do ANYTHING for you, and I mean anything. Suddenly, he saw Cagalli's form straighten up and was slightly shaking. 'Why is she shaking?'
In front of Cagalli was a piece of paper with writing on it. You would just think it was an ordinary note pass from friend to friend during class for communication right? WRONG! It was completely opposite. The piece of paper was slid in front of her by the person sitting beside her. After seeing the note, Cagalli stared at it in shock and started slightly shaking. 'How…the…' The writing that was written on the piece of paper could be said to be Cagalli's nightmare.
"Love seeing you in nothing but a swimming suit that day. Especially your legs. Flawless, smooth and soft, I can't wait to touch them. ::wink:: I can't wait until the next time you go swimming."
A little advice, make sure you stay quiet about this and stop making little scenes before class. I can't promise what would happen if you don't stay quiet. ::smiles::
The note was exactly the same as last night except for the extra noting at the end. She stared in shock. 'He…He was the one who sent the e-mail last night.' She thought to herself. Slowly turning her head with courage, she faced Yomi. Receiving a wink from him, a freaky one, Yomi turned his face to the professor instead of his seat partner. Cagalli stared at the note he wrote again. As Cagalli read the note, she realized something weird, 'make sure you stay quiet about this and stop making little scenes before class.' What doe he mean little scenes before class? He arrived late, how could he have known the incident she had with Athrun this morning just before class started? That is just too weird!
The group was sitting in one of the tables in the cafeteria. (Consisting of Kira, Lacus, Dearka, Miriallia, Yzak and Shiho) Almost everyone was there expect they were waiting for two people to show up from a certain physics advance class. As they waited, a blue haired male walked towards the group and grabbed a chair with him which he placed beside his own chair that his friends were saving for him. "Hey Athrun and hi Meer." Miriallia greeted. Even though Miriallia hated Meer because she was so slutty, she had no choice but to act nice to her. She didn't want to go to Athrun's bad side by being mean to her… for now. Although Meer was not formally introduced to the group, everyone in the school knew who she is. "Hey, Meer's joining us for lunch today." Athrun explained his girlfriend's presence. "Oh, I see. I thought Cagalli would be with you." Miriallia said. The group wondered why too. They were coming from the same class, why didn't they come together? "You know where she is?" Lacus questioned.
"Oh she's coming." Athrun replied. "Speak of the devil, she's right there." He pointed his finger to the entrance of the cafeteria and all heads followed to the direction. Walking into the cafeteria was Cagalli but she wasn't alone. Beside her was a light blue haired guy, laughing and talking with her. "Who's that?" Dearka asked pointed to the guy beside Cagalli.
"Hey. This is Auel Neider, my best friend from childhood." Cagalli introduced Auel when they approached the group. "Hi." Everyone greeted them in unison. "Can Auel join us for lunch, he said that he wanted to meet you guys."
"Yeah, sure, I don't see a problem with that." Lacus said with a smile.
As the day passed, the group enjoyed themselves in the cafeteria engaging in different conversations. Mainly, everyone except for Athrun and Meer who were having another public make out session, were spending their time learning more about Auel. Some of the members sitting near them were disturbed by their actions but they didn't want to say anything, knowing it would be useless. In their opinions, Auel was an awesome person. The group noticed Auel was carefree, had a good sense of humor and was he was very friendly.
"So how did you two meet?" Shiho questioned them. All of them were interested on how the two met. Before, when the pair just entered the cafeteria, they seemed to be really close. "Ah, I don't really remember. It was years ago." Cagalli said. "Do you remember Auel?"
"Of course I do, how can I forget?"
As Auel was telling the story how they both met, laughter was being heard by the group. Athrun and Meer had finally broken apart after their little make out session, both panting to regain their normal breathing state. While trying to regain their breath, the pair had finally joined the group on listening to Cagalli and Auel's childhood.
Everyone was laughing to all the stuff Auel was talking about. Using this little chance, Athrun caught a glimpse of the laughing blonde sitting between Auel and Lacus. The laughing blonde had no clue that a certain someone was stealing glances at her. 'Come to think of it…she is pretty cute.' Athrun thought to himself. 'Oh wells, I'll go to her when I'm over with Meer.'
"Athrun, do you want to go back to your room to finish up?" Meer asked seductively. "Sure, why not."
It was later that night that it was this time, Lacus was hanging out in Cagalli's room. "Hey Lacus, you remember that e-mail you read yesterday night?" Cagalli questioned her. "You mean the one you thought Athrun sent you to get revenge?"
"Yeah, that's the one. I found out who e-mailed me that." Cagalli was scared. I mean, this was Yomi Takashi we are talking about. Some molester manic. "Was it really by Athrun?" Lacus was curious. Would Athrun really do that?
"Apparently, no. It was Yomi Takashi, the one I told you before. The one with green hair and red eyes." Lacus gasped in horror. "Y-Yomi? Isn't he the-?"
"Yes, he's the so called molester. I think he snuck into the pool the day Athrun and I went to practice." Cagalli was afraid, very afraid. I mean, who wouldn't be? A molester was stalking you. "Cagalli, you really need to tell the principle about this!"
"I would but take a look at this." Cagalli handed Lacus the piece of paper Yomi gave Cagalli that morning. "Cagalli, it doesn't matter! You're practically being targeted! You need to tell the principle."
"How am I going to do that? I don't even have proof."
"The e-mail, show the e-mail to Mr. La Fllaga."
"Even if I showed him that, it is no use. The sender was unknown remember?"
"Then what should we do?" Lacus was also scared for Cagalli. She didn't want her best friend to be stalked by a molester. "I don't know what to do either, and I'm scared. Truthfully, I'm really scared." Cagalli confessed. "Why can't he go to some other slutty girl? Why me!? I thought I'll be the last one he'll stalk! ARG!" she punched her pillow releasing her emotions.
"I'll tell Mr. La Fllaga to keep an eye on him and tell him what is currently happening. He wouldn't know that I'll tell him. We'll find a way out, don't worry Cagalli. Just promise me you'll be careful okay?"
"Alright, thanks Lacus"
Around a coupe of weeks later, news of Athrun and Meer's break up was known all across the school. Through these past weeks, a lot has happened. Cagalli had been continuously receiving the disturbing e-mails from Yomi Takashi. She had told Lacus about it and Lacus told the principle. It was a better idea for Cagalli not to tell the principle herself since Yomi Takashi might be watching her al the time. Everyday, she would be really careful. She had promised Lacus to take care of herself and telling her not to worry too much. She didn't want Lacus to worry too much; she didn't want to be a burden to her. Athrun was single again and Meer had broken down crying to her slutty friends during class time. Poor girl, she didn't accept the fact the handsome male broke up with her and continued clinging onto him. Kira and Lacus were growing closer and closer with each other. It was obvious Lacus liked Kira but none of the friends, except for Athrun knew he was a playboy also. Kira and Lacus had been on a few dates during the past few weeks. Dearka had continuously begged Miriallia to go out with him for weeks. Poor guy, the consistent girl still rejected him. As for Yzak and Shiho? Both were still being a couple. Shiho had total control with his behavior when the group sat together. How Shiho is able to control Yzak like that still remains as a mystery within the group.
The swimming practices were still going on and each sessions wasn't really pleasant. Every training, the ONLY one would be swimming would be Cagalli. You might be asking where are the other members right? Well, all the other members were obviously girls and the source their attraction was the handsome blue male. Now that they knew Athrun was single again, they would arrive at the pool with revealing bath suits are even worst, bikinis. 'This is a bloody training class! Not some beach day!' Cagalli always finds it disturbing. Athrun had warned her about the all girl members thing but she never really expected to be like this. While Cagalli was the only one swimming, the other girls would surround their so called coach. 'Annoying sluts.' So basically, every time during training, she would just be swimming around just for the heck of it since no one was paying any attention to her. The girls were busy surrounding Athrun either saying "GO OUT WITH ME!", "MARRY ME" or even worst, something like "MY BED IS READY FOR YOU". Athrun would just be busy flashing smiles to them all day.
"Cagalli!" the said blonde could hear her friend approaching her while she was sitting on a bench outside just outside the school building reading a book. "Hey Lacus, what's up?" Cagalli was observing her friends expression and she could tell something was making her really happy. "Guess what!" Lacus said in an excited tone. Yup, she was definitely really happy. "I don't know."
"Kira just asked me to be his girlfriend!" the pink haired girl announced to her friend.
"Really? Oh my god! Congratulations! I'm happy for you." Cagalli was indeed happy for her. She could tell Lacus had liked Kira for a while now. From time to time, while it was only the two of them, Lacus would spark a conversation about Kira.
"Yup! And we're going out for dinner tonight. I don't think I'll be back early." Lacus informed her. "That's okay, I can eat dinner myself. It's not like I can't cook."
"Yeah, sure."
As the time went, Cagalli and Lacus had less and less time to spend with each other. Of course, Cagalli did not mind since Lacus was out with Kira and she knew Lacus's affection towards the brunette. At first, the blonde got annoyed but it couldn't be helped right? Since the two were going out; she had no reason to stop them. It was perfectly normal that both of them would be around each other 24/7.
The blonde was sitting in a classroom, listening to one of her lectures again. Cagalli was sitting in one of her classes daydreaming until a certain person nudged her.
"Ms. Athha."
A nudge…
"Ms. Athha…"
A nudge…
"Ms. Cagalli Yula Athha"
A nudge… "Leave me alone Athrun." The blonde said, clearly annoyed of the actions that were created by the blue haired boy.
"Ms. Cagalli Yula Athha!" The teacher screamed. It was then that she knew everyone's head in the classroom was turned towards her direction.
She looked at the blue haired boy for an answer on what's happening by she was interrupted the teacher, "Ms. Athha, I would appreciate that you pay attention in my class."
"Sorry Ma'am." Cagalli lowered her head, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"So I was saying," the teacher stated, "there will be a project that would be due sometime soon." The sound of groans and whines were heard after they heard the word 'project'.
"I haven't set a date but when I have, I'll inform you all as soon as possible. Now, you all will be working in groups of 3 and I will be deciding your partners since I know if you were to work with certain people, I know nothing will be accomplished. Let me tell you all, you will NOT be allowed to trade with other people. Understood?"
A few 'yes…' were heard and so the teacher took out a sheet of paper and started calling out names.
As the teacher started calling names, every girl in the room was praying that they would be in the same group as Athrun.
"Next group will be…" as the teacher started off the name of the next group. "Cagalli Yula Athha, Athrun Zala and…" the teacher narrowed her eyes at the next name, "Yomi Takashi."
Cagalli stiffened her form as she repeated what the teacher said.
…Cagalli Yula Athha…
…Athrun Zala…
……and Yomi Takashi…
This cannot be happening…
This…
cannot…
be...
happening…
to…
me…
"Cagalli!" the girl felt a shook on her arm. She looked up to the eyes of the person shaking her and met with emerald. For a moment, the pair stared at each other. 'I never knew how beautiful how those eyes are…' Cagalli thought. Upon realization, both of them looked away and muttered a quick 'sorry'.
"Come on Cagalli, all of them are waiting. Let's go."
"Alright, let's go!"
Everyone from the group was already sitting there waiting for two people to arrived.
"Hey, sorry we're late." Cagalli apologized as the pair walked up to the group.
"No harm done. Sit down." Kira said.
"I will later, after I go buy something to eat. Be right back guys." Cagalli told them. As she walked past the group, unknown to the blondee, she accidentally dropped her wallet.
"Hey Cagalli!" Mir shouted out as she noticed something fall out of Cagalli's pocket. "You dropped something!" Unfortunately, the blonde could not hear her.
"Let's look inside! Maybe we can find something interesting!" Mir said with a slight sign mischief in her tone.
"Yeah! Maybe she has a secret boyfriend or something that we don't know about." Shiho said excitingly. At the words 'secret boyfriend', Athrun felt a tiny tug in his heart. 'What the hell was that…' he thought to himself, referring about the tiny tug.
"I… I don't think this is a good idea. I mean, it's Cagalli's stuff, we can't just," Lacus said.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine." Kira reassured his girlfriend. Him too, also had the interest to know if Cagalli had a secret someone or not.
As Mir opened up the wallet and leaned herself towards the center of the table, everyone also leaned forward to take a look.
Looking through the blonde's pictures they all laughed and giggled at how cute Cagalli was.
One of them was a picture of a 4 year old Cagalli with her father they all assumed. The little girl had a smile on her face as she went down the slide. Another one was a picture of Cagalli and Auel when they were small. The children were playing on the swings, having big smiles plastered on their faces. Another one was a picture of Cagalli and her father again. Most of the pictures were pictures of a small Cagalli with her father while some were picture of her and Auel playing happily together. When the group of friends looked at the last picture, everyone had a confused face. It was a picture of a beautiful woman holding two babies. (a/n: I am sure all of you know this picture) One of the babies had soft yellow hair and the other one had soft brown hair. By the looks of this picture, the babies seem to be newborns. Everyone was wondering what this picture was about but Kira's eyes widen as big as dinner plates. He continued to stare at that picture.
"What are you all doing?" Everyone turned to the source of the sound. They saw a very angry Cagalli looking at them after seeing what they were all doing. "May I ask why all of you are looking at my wallet?"
Everyone sweat dropped, not knowing what to say.
"Erm…Cagalli, we're sorry. We were just curious. We didn't mean to make you upset." Mir tried to explain.
"I'll like it back thanks." Cleary getting ticked off. The girl grabbed her own wallet back and ran to go buy some food.
"That…was not really pleasant…" Shiho muttered.
"But really, who was that person?" Dearka suddenly asked.
"No clue. I remember something about she only lives with her father when I first met her." Lacus explained. "It might be her mother."
"It might be her nanny or something."
"or an aunt?"
"It might be her idol from a TV show or something!" Dearka blurted out stupidly.
Soon, a variety of possibilities were shooting across the table.
"But who was the baby with brown hair?" Yzak questioned.
"Her cousin maybe?" Athrun answered.
As the group continued to brainstorm, Lacus noticed Kira was very quiet and was staring into space. Too quiet for her. "Kira?"
Kira snapped out of his staring into space turned to Lacus.
"Kira, are you okay? You seem… a little off. Do you want some water or something?" Lacus questioned.
"Um…it's okay. I'm fine. Lacus, I need to check something. I'll be right back okay?"
"Yeah alright, be back soon." Kira gave Lacus a peck on the cheek and left.
The group questioned where Kira was going and Lacus just said he was going to check something. Unknown to what Kira was doing, they just sat there, waiting for Cagalli to go back to the group with food in her hands and hopefully be not mad at them.
After 5 minutes, Cagalli appeared in front of them, holding a bag of food and sat down, eating her food hungrily. She noticed Kira was missing but she assumed he went to the washroom or something. As the blonde ate her food, her friends constantly questioned on the photo they were looking at earlier.
"Was she your mother?"
"Was she your nanny?"
"Was she your idol you saw on some TV show?" Mir rolled her eyes at how 'brilliant' Dearka can be.
Cagalli continued eating her food while she listened to the questions that were being fired at her.
20 minutes of pure eating for Cagalli flew by, meaning 20 minutes of continuous questioning was happening. After eating, she finally decided to tell them. Hey, I mean, friends were suppose to hide stuff right? "Okay okay! I give up! I'll tell I'll tell!"
"Sweet!" Dearka yelled.
"Well…if you guys saw that picture, I assume you saw the other pictures as well?" The group nodded.
"All of you could have guess the man was my father, the other was Auel." The group continued nodding.
"Well… I'm an adopted child." Everyone stopped moving their heads and looked at me.
"Since I was just born, I didn't know who my real parents were. I was raised by my father, Uzumi Athha."
"So that woman is your birth mother right?" Lacus asked me. I nodded my head. "I never really did have a mother though."
"But who's the brown haired boy?" Yzak questioned her.
"I don't really know much. I was never informed of anything. I just know that woman in that picture is my birth mother and the brown haired boy beside me is my twin brother."
"You never met them right?" Athrun asked.
"Nope, I never had the chance to. I never met my mother or my twin brother but I think I remembered my mother's name."
"What was her name?" Lacus asked with curiosity
"Her name was-" Cagalli started but she never finished since she was interrupted by someone behind her.
"Her name was Via Hibiki." The sound of that voice led everyone to look at a certain direction. In front of them was a panting Kira trying to regain his breath.
Everyone in the group looked at him in confusion.
"Her name was Via Hibiki, isn't that right Cagalli?" Kira asked her. Cagalli looked at him in a surprised way.
"How did you…" the blonde trailed off.
a/n: whoop! I'm done! So what do you all think? I think it's rushing but that's just me. Because then…I don't want you guys to get bored with the everyday lives and stuff.
Thank you all for reviewing my last chapter to all those who did :)
As I was saying, I around half the chapter typed 2 weeks ago but then… I found it a bit short to be posted so I waited until an idea popped in my head. I hope it was worth it? Hopefully it was. I apologize for the mistakes I have in this chapter. I have no time to look over it but I will check for any mistakes after I get back from school tomorrow.
And now thanks for reading and please leave a comment!
