Chapter 5 Foreword

First of all, I am terribly sorry for not updating so long. I am just really busy this year and I haven't got the time to write.

Gundam Seed Destiny, the sequel to Gundam Seed has been broadcasting in Japan. By watching all the episodes up to date, you can tell that Lunamaria has a crush on Athrun. Personally, I don't very much dislike her, however for the purpose of this story; she is made one of the small antagonists. Please bear with me. I apologize if anyone feels they were mislead or offended. Everyone has their own different opinions. And this story is AU too. The main story line has nothing to do with the official Gundam Seed/Gundam Seed Destiny plot.

And for those who still don't know who Afmed is, I repeat again that he is NOT an original character created by me. He is an actual Gundam Seed character. Please go back and read Chapter 4's foreword. And if you still don't get it… go watch Gundam Seed or google his name )

Thanks to all of you for your genuine continuous support. I promise I will do my best to continue this fic.

Here's the chapter Enjoy.

Chapter 5 – Jealous?

I never knew how much I cared when you were with other girls… I never knew how bitter jealousy tasted…

Another morning filled with the bright sunshine. A young boy with navy blue hair walked down the mansion hallway. He stopped in front of a room, reached for the doorknob. Inside the room, there lies a beautiful girl with golden hair. The boy walked in as quietly as he could. He stared intently at the angel's face until…

"A…Afmed…." The girl called in her dream.

Athrun frowned. 'Who is Afmed?' The time was getting late for her to get to school so Athrun pushed back his feelings. Shaking her body as gently as he can, he whispered: "Cagalli, Cagalli. It's time to get up."

She turned towards him, mumbling: "mmm, just a five more minutes".

"You are going to be late for school." It had become Athrun's daily morning routine to wake Cagalli up. And everyday, she would say five more minutes.

Cagalli opened her golden eyes. The sunlight penetrated through the windows, shining brightly, lighting the room. "It's morning already?" Cagalli pouted. Athrun smiled, "Come on, breakfast is ready downstairs. Go take a shower and get dressed. Then I'll drive you to school." Athrun turned to leave the room.

Cagalli sighed, "I dreamt of him again… Argh. Get a hold of yourself Cagalli, it's time to move on."

-Lecture Hall in a University-

"Okay settle down everyone. Let me start the class by introducing a new student, her name is Lunamaria Hawk. Ms. Hawk, why don't you come in."

A girl walked inside. She had a light pink skirt that went little above her knees, with a white jacket on top. Her magenta hair fell right on her shoulder. "Hello everyone, my name is Lunamaria Hawk. Nice to meet you all." She bowed slightly, and turned toward where Athrun was sitting. She flashed a smile at him.

'Why is she smiling at me…? Although she looks familiar…' Athrun thought. He eyed Cagalli at the corner of his eye. She was staring at the cherry blossoms outside the window. She looked as if she wanted to get out there and play under the sun. Athrun chuckled.

"May I sit here, Athrun-kun?" Athrun turned his head. He was surprised about how she knew his name. "Sure, I guess."

Of course, all of this was projected into Cagalli's eyes. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable with that Lunamaria girl. 'How the heck did she know Athrun's name? And why are they on first name basis already? Why would I care? It's not like I have anything to do with it. Blah…' The professor had started his lecture. The entire class listened quietly with only small whispers among themselves once a while.

"Um… Athrun-kun, I don't quite get what the professor was talking about. Can you help me a bit?" Lunamaria leaned over and whispered.

"Is it okay if I explain it to you after class?" Athrun whispered back, "class is almost over."

"Okay." Lunamaria smiled.

Now, Cagalli feels extremely uncomfortable. But she managed to shake it off, 'who cares, he has his life, I have my life.' She looked outside again. Beautiful cherry blossom pedals danced in the air. It was bright and sunny. 'It would be nice to have a walk outside with some fresh air after class,' Cagalli thought.

Ding-dong

"Okay class, that's it for today! Your homework is on the board. I want a full page data analysis report by next Monday. And don't forget, your midterm is coming up, you should start studying. Have a nice weekend!"

"Now, what did you have trouble with?" Athrun asked.

"This," Lunamaria pointed to a section in her textbook. "I didn't catch what the professor was saying… and I was wondering if you took notes on it."

"Yeah, here," Athrun handed her his notebook, and carefully explained to her the solution to the problem. By the time Athrun had finished, he noticed that Cagalli was gone. 'Gee, where did you go Cagalli? I was gonna take you out for lunch…' Disappointed by Cagalli's disappearance, he decided to go find her.

"I get it now! Thank you so much!" Lunamaria bowed.

"It's no big deal. Um, I have to go now. See you next class." Athrun quickly stuffed his laptop and books into his briefcase and ran out.

'My dear Athrun, you haven't changed one bit… but you don't seem to remember me anymore… well… of course… now that you have her… But it's okay, in the end, you'll be mine…' Lunamaria thought bitterly.

Meanwhile, after seeing and hearing an unusual and awkward conversation between two people, Cagalli walked along a small trail covered by the canopies of cherry blossom trees on the two sides of the trail. As pedals fell gently, Cagalli couldn't help but to admire this beautiful scene of nature. Cagalli lied down on the grass fields, under the cherry blossom tree, looking up at the blue sky and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.

'It would be wonderful if I could stay here all day and never have to deal with those engagement crap…' She felt her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. Soon, she fell asleep.

A navy blue haired boy went all around the school, looking for his love. He was beginning to get worried. "Why did she leave first? I thought I told her we were gonna have lunch together…" he mumbled to himself. His eyes landed on a girl, who was napping, under the cherry blossom trees. He rushed over, how he was relieved to see his love, sleeping in peace. She looked ever so innocent, angelic. He quietly sat down beside her, feeling content just by watching her. Cagalli slowly opened her eyes, and she found herself staring into a pair of emerald eyes. "Hey," she said, still a bit drowsy.

"Hey, you feel tired?"

"I'm okay now," Cagalli sat up.

Athrun looked at Cagalli sternly, "why did you leave without me?" Cagalli avoided his gaze, but Athrun held her shoulders, forcing her to look at him.

"Well… since you were 'busy', I didn't want to bother you, so I left first." She stressed the word "busy" and looked away.

"Haha," Athrun laughed.

"What is so funny?" Cagalli demanded. She wasn't seeing anything funny or hearing anything funny. After a few seconds, Athrun finally calmed down.

"You were jealous, weren't you?" Athrun chuckled. It was pretty hard to imagine that a girl like Cagalli would ever be jealous over him. In a way, he was glad. But that didn't change the fact in which it was hilarious. Cagalli was blushing madly.

"Why would I be jealous over a jerk like you?" She frowned and got up, wanting to get out of this embarrassing situation. Athrun grabbed her wrist. He smiled evilly.

"What makes me a jerk?"

"Well… what you did just a moment ago makes you a jerk." Cagalli pouted.

"Oh, so, talking with another girl makes me a jerk?" Athrun pretended to play dumb.

"No!" Cagalli blushed again. She didn't know what to say.

Athrun chuckled at her naiveness. "I'm sorry," he skilfully spinned her around, and she landed perfectly in his arms. Cagalli was blushing crazily.

"Hey! Let go of me!" Cagalli pounded on his chest, attempting to get away.

"Since I was a jerk, I gotta make it up to you, right?" Athrun asked teasingly. It's just so much fun playing with her. He wrapped his arms around her petit waist, taking in her sweet scent.

Cagalli's stomach grumbled. "If you wanna make it up to me, let me go and treat me for lunch." She was ready for a big meal.

"Okay, that I can do." Before letting her go, he gave her a small peck on the cheek. "Com'on, I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat! I'm hungry too."

As the Sakuras continue to dance, the couple walks down the trail, holding hands.

I AM SOO SORRY for updating after like…. 6 months? I have just been soooooooooo busy that I couldn't find time to update… sigh… I was having a writer's block too… had to change chapter 2 times… . And I am still not happy with this chapter! It sounds soo boring… sigh… I swear this story is gonna turn into a soap opera kind of plot…. Anyway………… thanks for being patient with me… The plot up till now has been moving really really really slowly… I promise in the next 2 chapters it will move along… and it should become more exciting. I don't know when I'll be updating again. I guess whenever I get the inspiration and time? but I will finish this fic I swear. D
