Sorry for the long note (SKIP AHEAD TO CHAPTER ONE IF YOU WANT):
Hello before you start reading. Please let me explain a few things. Okay first off, I don't know how the school system at Ashford Academy works or anything like that exactly. But I tried researching from sites I could obtain access from and seeing from the anime and so forth and see what I can come up. Plus I don’t know too much about the classes so let me just say that if I put something you’d think sound ridicoulous or doesn’t seem like it belongs, like I said, I didn’t see any specifics of what class they are running and all although I saw like a reading out loud kind of class and hear about Gym class and saw a Science lab. So from the episodes I watched, I did with those things given to me and see what I can come up with/cook up. I also tried to study the characters and see what many fansites had to say about them and try to decode/interpret what they are like from the episodes and everything, so I can keep it a fanfic. If that makes sense.
This story is also an Alternate Universe fanfic which means there will be no Geass war or anything involving battling and how the characters feel about each other although I try to keep the characters from the series within this fanfic. Also despite it being a Code Geass category fanfic but it’s not in terms of the Code Geass series 100% and what I mean, it’s not like it’s all the action with the Knightmares battling and all that stuff or how it’s my alternate ending to the series or whatever but it’s supposed to be a romantic comedy involving Shirley x Lelouch. (Hence the title Shirley x Lelouch?) Just so you know. Plus I put in characters that are dead in the series or just don’t seem to fit in the school setting just for the fun of it and they don’t get killed or whatever, so they’ll be a fun addition to this plot
Since I’m a big fan of adding Ocs to my fanfic. This will have some. I’ll have about at the very least 4-5. But don’t worry the main focus will be on the characters in the fanfic.
Anyway, comments and critique are welcome and I hope you enjoy it. Does anybody know how to format it the right way. I never had an idea how some of you people do it while writing fanfic.
Also I asked if I could put my fanfic on here that wasn't KH related and I had to make sure and the mod said it was okay....so yeah.
Okies then, enjoy!!!!!
Thanks for reading this. XD

It was another morning as the bell rung at the prestigious hallways of Ashford Academy. The students were milling about as some were chatting with their friends while some others were rushing to get to their next class. Among them was an orange-haired girl named Shirley Fenette. She had been looking forward to the Student Council meeting after school today since the Swimming Club practice had been cancelled. Milly Ashford had told her a few days ago at their next meeting they were discussing how to make the school event more fun and that’d be doing something they’d never expected to.
Too bad it was only third period of the day where she had one of her dull day class. Oh well, at least she would not have to be stuck in those classes forever. "Shirley! Hey!" a voice called and she looked to a girl with brown hair that was up in a ponytail and her eyes, even from afar, had reflected the blue sky outside the school’s window. Her name was Kelsie (or Kels for short) Finnsgrove, her classmate in Gym class and one of the school’s Girl’s Tennis club members.
"Hi Kels!" She said calling her friend by her nickname, waiting for her friend to catch up.
As her friend caught up, she smiled at Shirley. "Oh my gosh am I glad to see you." Kels and Shirley hadn’t seen each for other while since Shirley had been busy with swimming club practices and dealing with Student Council plannings as well as schoolwork.

Despite being in the same Gym class, Kels would always be talking to somebody else while Shirley had to stick with Milly. She was glad to see her friend as well. "So what class are you going to?" Kels asked her.
The two started walking and ignoring the other students that were getting by to their classes or their destination. Shirley tried to think about it. "I’m going to Historical Studies class." She replied, making a face that could only mean to one as to be in distate and disgust.
Kels smiled and nodded. "I see. So is Lelouch in the same class?" She asked, sounding casual about this. Shirley felt her face turn the same color as the rose that was in the gardens outside of the school. "No." Then she got quiet and looked around to see if anybody was listening in on their conversation. "Why are you asking about Lulu?" She hissed as she looked around. Kels only smiled at this in response. "Because Lulu’s been AWOL for the past few days and some girls were talking about claiming him but don’t know when to do so." Oh no, not this. Shirley thought to herself. Of course, she’d have competition. Didn’t she know that ever since the first time she met Lelouch? It was only a few years ago when he helped her out in a pinch once. "Shirley, you okay?" Oh right, she was talking to Kels.
"What!? How could they do that?" She asked, bursting out loud. A couple of girls that were walking by, stopped startled and stared at her. Oops. She just had said that out loud didn’t she? "Sorry. My bad." She apologized as the girls began giving her strange looks. She even heard one of them whisper. "Isn’t that girl from the swimming club?" and "What’s she’s so upset about?"
Shirley moved on and Kels followed her. "Do what exactly?" Kels asked as they were hurrying along the hall to Shirley’s next class. Oh right. She almost forgot about their conversation for a second. "Claim him." She sighed. "You know they can’t hog Lulu just because he’s one of the greatest guys in school. They just can’t. Wouldn’t they be hogging him to themselves?" She continued on without bothering to hear what Kels had to say. "Besides, I personally think we should all share him, right?" Kels gave her a wary look and was about to say something when they both approached a corner. When they turned, Shirley and a tall figure crashed into each other.
Suddenly Shirley’s books began falling to the ground. Some of it even fell open, revealing texts and pictures of her textbooks and reading novels that she borrowed from the library.
"Oh my gosh, I’m sorry!" Shirley apologized, without directly looking at whom she was apologizing to. With that she and Kels hurried to pick up the books but with swift movement, the hands began picking up her books and handed to her.
"Oh my gosh, I’m sorry!" Shirley apologized, without directly looking at whom she was apologizing to. With that she and Kels hurried to pick up the books but with swift movement, the hands began picking up her books and handed to her.
She had only managed to grab three books while it held out rest o f the book. "Are you okay, Shirley?" She heard a familiar voice say. Could it be? It couldn’t be could it? She saw that that the hands belong to an arm that was covered in black-colored uniform with the school’s symbol. A guys uniform.
She slowly raised her emerald-like colored eyes to meet eyes with a black haired boy whose eyes were purple. Lelouch Lamperouge! She thought as she looked up at him. Her face automatically reddining the same shade as the roses that were outside in the garden.
"Lulu, I’m really s-sorry about t-that!" She stammered, feeling really nervous. Why did she have to get so nervous? He was really friendly and considerate of others in school. Isn’t that why he was on the Student Council? Or was it that time when she......
"It’s fine and I’m sorry I didn’t see you." He gave an apologetic yet a modest, charming smile. Oh my god. The smile. That ridicously yet handsome most adorable smile. Stop it Shirley, you can be normal around him. He’s just another classmate. She reminded herself mentally. But your in love with him. a voice reminded her from the back of her head. She couldn’t let him see her thoughts raging.
She had to be confident and smile. They were on a schedule and couldn’t waste a minute. So appearing confident, she smiled and looked at him straight in the eye. "Oh no, worries. I’ll be fine." She said. "Anyway, I have to go." She said to him. She turned away. "Come on Kels," she said to her friend. Kels looked at Lelouch and shrugged. Then followed behind Shirley. Once she did, Shirley immediately grabbed her arm.
"Just deal with it, okay?" She said. And with that, the two of them began to scurry away. Shirley holding Kels’ arm. She didn’t turn to glance back since she didn’t want to see his expression. But if she did, she would of saw that a mixture of curiousity and confusion crossed his face. What was that all about? I’ll never know what that girl’s thinking. He thought, the same charming smile appeared on his face. Oh well, might as well get a move on or the Professor might give me detention or chore duty. He thought as he strolled onward to his next class.
I’m no match for those other girls anyway even if we do know each other.
The words formed in her head as she was running. She let go of Kels’ arm. "Sorry about that Kels." They both stopped nearby her Historical Studies class. Then she slapped herself. I’m beginning to sound like Nina Einstein now. She thought. Nina Einstein was one of her friends in the Student Council and was quiet. She wore glasses and had stringy-black colored hair. Shirley liked her but sometimes she couldn’t understand why the magazines Nina bought to the Student Council meetings had Princess Euphiemia on the front cover of them.
Be positive Shirley! A lot of girls had that happen. At least Lulu was nice about it. She sighed as she thought about his breathtaking smile that he flashed at her. Even if it was a small smile, it meant a lot to her. Sometimes when she watched him in Literature class, he didn’t seem to smile or appear bright and cheerful like some guys she knew. She wondered why he didn’t smile that much or was it just his personality.
"Well I guess we have to part ways even if your classroom is next to mine," Kels said as if she hadn’t been impacted by Shirley’s attempt to scurry away and drag her with. Shirley smiled. "Yeah, I guess so. Oh and sorry about that. I guess I got nervous and yeah," She trailed off, looking as there were now only a few students going to their classes.
The bell would ring soon. Kels smiled at her as if everything was fine. "No problem. But we’ll talk at lunch okay with Milly and the other girls?" Oh no. She had to discuss it with Milly and she knew how much the President had liked Lelouch ever since who knows when. Probably the first day of school. "Okay, that’s fine." She nodded and the two waved goodbye as they entered into separate classes.
As she entered, she remembered that she had to endure a boring historical class today but then she remembered if she sat near the window, then she probably might see Suzaku and Lelouch’s PE class doing warm up and sit ups outside.
Today was their day to be outside and work on since they signed up for Fitness and Sports. Of course Lelouch never bothered to attend Physical Education class and tried to ski it but for some reason, she always looked outside to watch to see if he ever show up. Usually she saw only a few acquaintences she knew and Suzaku. She also knew he was one of her friends’ crushes and she had to keep an eye out for him for her friend.
Although it felt weird to watch Suzaku and see who he was friends with aside from Lelouch but he was pretty athletic and she didn’t mind mind watching him when the teacher came discussing a boring topic although she had to pretend to listen and make sure not to catch her look out the window. It was tricky but most of the time, she managed it.

It was tricky but most of the time, she managed it.
As her teacher droned on about a war that happened in France, Shirley looked outside and saw that the Gym class were outside doing stretches. Then suddenly her eyes caught two things: First, Lelouch was dressed in Gym clothes with his plain white shirt and black shorts. Despite looking lanky, he still was handsome in Shirley’s eyes. Oh my god, Lulu’s attending a Gym class! She thought but saw he looked bored at this. Aw poor guy. I guess he was dragged in. She remembered he would ditch the classes so many times that he would get in trouble with teachers but he skipped detentions too. Somehow he managed around those too. She saw that the Gym teacher, a guy by the named of Jeremiah, whom they hired at the last minute was blowing on whistle and while the others were done stretching. Lelouch was just getting started and looked miserable at this.
"Shirley Fenette, are you with us?" The teacher interrupted her thoughts. Oops. She had just had been busted. She jumped up and pried her eyes away from the window automatically. She was now in for it. She saw many of her classmates were staring at her.
"Y-yes?" She asked facing her teacher, a woman with stern expression and dull-colored blonde that was pulled up. She was wearing shiny red lipstick.
"Can you please explain to me what you’re doing?" The teacher asked her. This was not good. She thought to herself. Way to go, Shirley! She thought to herself. How would she explain herself now? She couldn’t obviously tell the student body who she saw or they’d laugh at her or worse, tell Lelouch in person. She didn’t need him to know. Not now anyways.
EDIT: Chapter 2 will be up tomorrow! And I made a minor error, so I'll change it.
