Hi! So I absolutely adore Athrun, and Cagalli so I decided to write this story. Also it gives me a fun way to improve my writing. I hope you enjoy.

:Cagalli POV:

It's just another typical day here at Archangel Academy, rich kids walking around like they own the world, I guess in a way they will someday. You see I go to the most prestigious school in Heliopolis, it's an exclusive private school for the children of the famous such as politicians, actors, models, etc. So I'm sure you get the idea of how my social life is here; backstabbers, snobs, bullies, popular people, drama queens, the average high school setting. I do my best to avoid it all, I'm not exactly on their level. I mean don't get me wrong I'm "rich" as well but I prefer a quiet life. Like right now for intense I'm sitting in the hallway at lunch reading about scientific evolution rather than socializing myself silly.

"Have you eaten?"

Flay Allster, my best friend/ mother hen. Also the most beautiful, popular girl in school. Not to even mention fashionable, charming, lovely, and charismatic. No wonder every guy up the social ladder wants to date her. Leave it to her to try to bring me back into reality of life. Standing before me with a hand on her hip, and a stern glare.

"Yes of course I ate. What do you take me for?" Probably not the best reply to her considering she is slowly getting a crease of displeasure on her forehead.

She started by flipping her long red hair before saying, "An apple doesn't count Cagalli! You need real meals to be healthy."

Her mother- like- tone frustrates me. "I understand that. I'll make sure to eat a big dinner."

I knew it, she looks absolutely horrified by the thought. "Cagalli do you understand how bad it is to eat a lot at night for your weight?"

I smiled, this was too easy. "Oh I know, I don't see anything wrong with becoming fat I think I would pull it off quite nicely."

Flay blinked then slowly relaxed with a smile. "Well that is true you would look beautiful no matter what. But seriously come eat lunch with me?"

I closed my book and stood up to show her I would. We started walking down the hallway together. As people pass us they wave to Flay and smile happily then give me the look as if to say 'why is she with her?' It's understandable for them to question our friendship since I'm nothing like her. To be honest I'm rather dull in comparison. Flay tries to make me look hot, but I'm too shy to pull it off. I'm a goody goody, like I don't even have the guts to change my uniform like the others girls to make it cute. Oh well I'm not here for fashion, and socializing, I'm here to learn so that I can take my fathers place someday.

"Earth to Cagalli!"

Whoops. I glanced to Flay, "Uhh yeah?"

She huffed while she opened the door to the cafeteria, "Cagalli you're spacing out on me! I called your name three times!"

Double whoops. I grabbed one of the high class lunch plates, caviar, eww. "Sorry I was just thinking. What were you saying?"

Flay sat down at her seat, "Well Sai and I are hanging out today after school, and I think things might get intimate if you know what I mean." She finished with a wink.

I slyly glanced up to her, "Oh my. Well don't do anything Bridget Colde wouldn't do." Oh and for those of you who don't know Bridget Colde is a wild famous movie star.

Flay laughed, "Of course! Oh and guess who is coming this way?" Signaling that the person was coming behind me with her eyes.

I turned to look back to see our friend Dearka Elsman making his way towards us.

Dearka Elsman is the son of Tad Elsman, whom is apart of the Supreme council in PLANTS.

"Good afternoon ladies, mind if I join you?"

Dearka being a gentleman that's new.

"Oh of course you may sweetheart, but I was just on my way out but please take care of our princess here." Flay commanded. She abruptly left with a huge smile on her face. Must be going to see Sai.

"Good afternoon, Princess." Dearka greeted.

"Dearka! Don't call me that! I hate that title. " I said with utter annoyance.

"As you wish my lady." Dearka said with a smug smile.

How I would love to slap that smile off his face. Dearka is a childhood friend of Flay and after Flay and I became friends; we also became friends, close friends. He's very kind, athletic, hot, but can be a jerk (in the good way), very popular among girls, and I also have feelings for him. Not that I would ever confess because I can tell he has a secret thing for Flay. Besides childhood friends always end up together, right? He's taking care of me cause Flay said so. He's totally nice, I just hope that Flay can see it someday, even though that thought hurts me a little bit.

"Flay looks content?" Dearka queried.

Oh the poor dear, he's totally hurt. Seeing the girl he loves in another's arms, how tragic.

"Mm yeah. She and Sai are ditching school for the rest of the day and hanging out all evening." I said unknowingly. Oops sorry, Dearka. I'm so stupid, aghhh!

"Well hopefully this one doesn't end up like the others."

"Yeah, I know."

He shifted around in his seat and leaned in towards me to whisper, "You know there is someone who always messes things up for Flay."

"EHH! WHO?!" I totally shrieked. And to my embarrassment everyone in the cafeteria heard and is looking at me.

Dearka looked surprised at my sudden outburst, "Shh. Look I'll tell you but you can't tell anyone you got it?"

I nodded my head slowly. "Yeah I promise."

Dearka cracked his knuckles, "I thought it was odd that every guy that went with Flay would just dump her out of no where. I got sick of seeing her cry so I looked into it and found out that it was the same guy ruining the relationships."

I got a little excited, "So Flay has a stalker?" I mean come on how cool is that?

"No."

Well so much for that idea. "Well then who is it?"

"Don't be so down it's no average guy, actually it's the most popular guy in school."

Seriously out of all the people, Athrun Zala. Son of the most influential man in the world, Patrick Zala, who just so happens to be my father's biggest rival. He's so popular, and considered the hottest guy in the school, the more I think about him the angrier I get.

"Okay you got me, Athrun Zala, but why would he care what Flay does?"

Dearka sighed as the bell rang signaling that lunch was over. "Well they're are a few reasons. We will talk about it later."

With that and a quick wave goodbye he was gone. Ugh just when I was figuring things out this blows. Awe shit! I'm going to be late for class!
