A/N: No one probably noticed this but the two main couples here are of different age yet they're classmates. My bad. I haven't realized it until I was writing chapter 2. But well, since this is fanfic, I can do something to fix it up. In this fic, Cagalli and Lacus are accelerated. So, okay? :D
Stalking Stalkers
"Okay class," Murrue Ramius, the music teacher said as the lesson started that afternoon. "I'm going to give you early your final project for this semester. The final output would be a concert that your class will organize. And ALL of you should participate. No exceptions."
Oohs and ahhs were heard in the class. One girl, Meyrin Hawke, raised her hand. "Miss Ramius, are we going to perform in groups or individually?" She asked.
"It's up to you as long as all of you would to perform." Murrue said. "I talked with principal La Flaga already and he agreed to get us a musical director, some assistants and the things that we would need." It wasn't so hard to ask. Mu La Flaga would give everything she asks. She really doesn't like doing it but hey, this is for her class. So, it's alright to exploit this weakness sometimes. "But if you're going to form a group, only four members are allowed."
"Athrun! Let's be partners!" Cagalli exclaimed as she tugged at the blue-haired boy's sleeve.
Athrun frowned. "No." He said then he turned to Lacus who's beside him. "Lacus, let's be partners."
The pink-haired girl looked at him with a smile. "Sure!" She said then she spared a glance at Kira who's approaching his sister.
"Cags!" Kira exclaimed. "How about we team up with this?" He asked, his purple orbs twinkling. He saw how Athrun rejected his sister again and he couldn't just bear to do nothing about it. He's actually the first one to discover the blonde girl's feelings for his blue-haired bestfriend. He tried to talk her out of it but it proved to be futile. She's very determined to have Athrun. But still, it doesn't stop him from being protective of her. So much as he wants to partner with Lacus, he wouldn't leave Cagalli alone. "You know." He gave her a knowing wink. He and Cagalli play the piano and guitar respectively. Plus, his sister's got a nice voice.
Cagalli smiled weakly. She knew Kira's just trying to cheer her up. She was about to say yes when Lacus piped in.
"How about we form a group?" The pink-haired girl exclaimed cheerfully. "Athrun can play piano and violin. I can sing."
Kira smiled. "Sounds great. What do you think, guys?" He asked Athrun and Cagalli.
"Uhh… sure." The blonde girl mumbled, secretly delighted at having Athrun as a groupmate. The blue-haired boy just shrugged.
"Stupid Athrun. Leaving me alone." Cagalli mumbled irritably as she walked towards home late that afternoon. After dismissal, Athrun instantly pulled Lacus out of the room and left without any word. She got a little- okay, fine, REALLY hurt- at that but couldn't do anything. The couple already left! Kira couldn't take her home because he has a meeting with the student council. She sighed. "Should I give up on him?" She asked herself as she got her phone and logged in to facebook. It's been three days since she last went online. After she got in her account, she instantly went to Athrun's profile to stalk him. Aside from being his true-to-life stalker, she's his virtual stalker, too.
She frowned when she saw that his wall is, again, full of love confessions from lots of girls and gays. She made a face. She really has lots of rival over her blue-haired prince. She's not worried about them for she knows that Athrun isn't the least interested on any of those girls. He has his gorgeous emerald orbs set only on Lacus Clyne. She frowned sadly at that. It's hard to compete with Lacus. The girl is so beautiful and so perfect! Plus, she's Cagalli's bestfriend! She couldn't really steal her bestfriend's fiance, could she?
"Oh, too late for that, Cagalli." She castigated herself. "Plus, I know Lacus likes Kira." She added as she turned into a corner. She's so sure of it for she would always see the pink-haired girl stealing glances at her brother when he's not looking and she constantly blushes when he talks to her. She never did once blush in front of Athrun. "Yeah, so-" She stopped talking when at one turn, she bumped into someone. Because of the impact, she landed on her butt. "Hey! Watch where you're going, will you?" She snapped as she hastily got up. Then she noticed that her phone's gone. "Oh, crap. My phone!"
"Here." Someone said as a hand gave her the green phone that she dropped when she bumped into him. She looked up and saw a handsome boy about the age of 18 smiling at her. He has short blonde hair and really expressive green eyes. It's so different from Athrun's cold emerald orbs. The boy's green eyes are smiling, too. "Sorry, I was in a hurry."
"Oh, I'm sorry, too. I wasn't looking." Cagalli said, blushing slightly. "And thanks for my phone." She smiled back at him. "I'm Cagalli Yula Hibiki. You?"
"My name's Adrian Carter." The blonde boy said, still with that charming smile of his. "Nice to meet you, Miss Hibiki." He then surprised her when he took her hand and kissed it.
Cagalli blushed even more. "Err… you can just call me Cagalli, Adrian. Nice to meet you, too." She said. "Umm… are you new here? I only saw you now. Not that I know everyone here. Hehe." She scratched her head as she grinned sheepishly.
"Yeah. I actually just arrived here in Orb yesterday. My father was assigned here so all of us have to come with him. I came from PLANTs." Adrian answered. He then glanced at his watch and shook his head. "Much as I want to still talk to you, I have to go. See you around, Cagalli! I might be entering the same school as you." He gave her another charming smile then he hurriedly left.
Cagalli smiled as she followed Adrian's retreating figure with her amber orbs. "He's nice." She then turned and continue her journey home.
"Where did you and Lacus go yesterday?" Cagalli asked as she and Athrun went to school the next day. Lacus didn't come with them for she said she's going on an errand for her mother first thing in the morning. The blue-haired boy offered to help her but she refused saying that she got things at hand.
"It's none of your business." Athrun snapped as he parked his red Lamborghini to its usual parking spot. He then got out of the car and went inside the building where their classroom is.
"Hey! I was just asking. No need to be rude." She said as she tried very hard to catch up with him. But because he's a tall boy with the height of 6'2, she can barely keep up with his long strides. And she couldn't help but comment about his height. "Wow, Athrun, when did you get so tall? You were just 5'11 last time."
Athrun frowned when he realized that she actually knew his height. "Annoying stalker…" He muttered under his breath but she heard him well enough.
She pouted at that. "You're just the only one who finds me annoying!" She exclaimed indignantly but he just ignored her and kept on walking. "Hey-"
She gasped when she passed by the faculty office, the door suddenly opened almost hitting her. She took a step back so she wouldn't be hit by the hard door but unfortunately, she lost her balance, thus making her butt go in contact with the floor. "Geez. Watch it, you dummy!" She snarled at that someone who opened the door, not caring if he or she is a teacher since it's the faculty room.
"Why do I always see you like this?" A familiar friendly voice asked which made Cagalli look up. There, she found a smiling blonde boy with expressive green eyes. Her eyes widened when she recognized him.
"Adrian!" She exclaimed, a little blush creeping on her cheeks. "What are you doing here?" She asked.
Adrian pulled her up effortlessly. "Well, I'm going to study here. Remember what I told you yesterday that we could be going to the same school?" He asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Cagalli said with a grin, too. "So, welcome in Zaft High. I hope you enjoy your stay here. What year are you and what class are you in?"
"I'm a senior. Section A." The blonde boy replied as he looked at his class card.
Cagalli's face lit up when she heard him. "So we're classmates, then. Great!" She exclaimed cheerfully.
"Hibiki, hurry up." Athrun's impatient voice made the two look at him. The two blondes look up and saw the blue-haired boy approaching them. When he realized that Cagalli's not with him anymore, he decided to go back. He knows the girl's sort of clumsy sometimes. He frowned when he saw Adrian. "Who are you?" He demanded in an arrogant tone.
"I'm Adrian Carter. I'm a new student here." Adrian said with a smile. "And you are?"
"Athrun Zala." The blue-haired boy replied with that annoying monotonous voice of his. He doesn't know why but he's really irritated. He then turned back to the blonde girl who, he noted in surprise, is blushing. What the heck? "Come on, Hibiki. We're almost late." He said then he turned to walk again.
Cagalli smiled sheepishly as she turned to Adrian. "Don't mind him. He's just a cranky old man." She said which made the blonde boy laugh. "Anyways, let's go?" Adrian nodded eagerly then they followed Athrun to the classroom.
Okay, that's it! Please read and review! :D
