THE BET

-x-

Chapter 1 Join The Bet

-x-

It was three o'clock in the afternoon and the park was full with many people. There were mothers who brought their child to play at the park or some kids playing with their peers. In the middle of the park, there was a fountain where five good looking guys were sitting near it. These five guys got the most attention in the park, yet neither of them seemed to care about that.

"Hey, I think they are all staring at us, am I right?" asked one of them with shoulder length silver hair. He wore a white t-shirt with abstract picture on it and black pants. He turned his head to his left side where all his friends were sitting (he was sitting at the end of the row).

"Yeah, I know it, just leave it, Yzak." Another guy with shorter black hair, who was sitting just beside the silver hair guy – Yzak – replied it reluctantly.

"Maybe you'll ignore it, but I won't. That is my intention." The navy blue hair guy with emerald eyes, who was the main attention, interrupted the other guys conversation. He was the one sitting in the middle, who placed a gentle smile on his face.

Yzak just looked to the navy blue hair guy with a confused face, while another guy took part in the conversation. "What do you mean Athrun?" This time, it came from a guy with auburn hair, sitting beside the blue hair guy –Athrun.

The last lad in the group, a guy with tanned skin and blonde a bit spiky hair punched the auburn guy's head slowly. "Don't be stupid Kira! You realize that Zala could make any girls fall for him, don't you?" the blonde hair guy said that.

"Damn straight you were right, Dearkka Elthman." Athrun said that cheerfully as he tossed his hands with Dearkka, the blonde guy, in front of Kira.

Kira seemed in a deep thought, while the others had continued to another conversation. "But, I still believe that there will be one girl who couldn't fall for Athrun's charm." Kira murmured softly.

Even though it was soft, but it was loud enough to be heard by the others. Dearkka looked at Kira with a disbelieve face and asked the other lad, "So, you don't believe in Athrun's charm, do you?"

"It's not like that, but, maybe you can say it like that. I just believe that there will be one girl who will not fall for him. That's for sure." answered Kira.

The black hair guy suddenly interrupted, breaking the tension between Athrun and Kira. "What the hell are you guys talking about?"

"Shinn, you are as slow as a snail." Dearkka mocked Shinn and chuckled until Shinn glared at the former. "Nah, anyway, we are talking about Athrun's charm. Do you also believe that there will be one girl who wouldn't fall for it?"

Shinn thought for a moment before shook his head weakly. "No, not really. I just think that all girls will fall for his charm, but it will be just like that. No more, no less. I think."

"We can stop talking about this topic, can't we?" asked Yzak, who was getting infuriated with the topic. He was thinking, 'What's so wrong about that? Geez, I can't believe they are arguing over some stupid statement.'

They could sense that Yzak didn't like the topic, so, all of them nodded slowly except Kira, who was still in his thought. Suddenly, he had an idea. "I know!" He exclaimed it happily that all his friends turned their head to him. "How about we do a bet Athrun? If I can find a girl that will not take an interest or fall to your charms in two weeks, you must obey whatever I tell you for one month, how's that?" It took a few minutes for Athrun before he nodded his head slowly. "And, if I have found the girl, you have another one month to change her opinion and make her fall for you charm. But, if you fail again, well, you have to obey me for another two months. How's that?"

"You mean you want two bets?" asked Athrun to convince both of them. The others just looked at both guys, thinking it might be a bad idea or not? Kira nodded to reply to Athrun's question. "Alright then. Two bets for you." They shook their hands to approve the bets while telling the others as the witness for these stupid bets.

And that's the start of the bet.

The next day, Kira tried her best to find a girl to win the bet, which mean a girl who would not fall for Athrun's charm, but so far, he found none. And it almost two weeks already, yet Kira hadn't found the girl yet.

"Geez, I must find the girl. If only some miracles could happen. Gosh, I wish I didn't start that stupid bet. I can not imagine myself obeying him for one month! Like hell!" shouted Kira as he was passing by the street. All the pedestrians were looking at him as he was a new kind of species.

He was walking to nowhere, just wandering around, hoping that there would be a miracle happen and he could just find the perfect girl. Beware Kira, because what you hope might be happen soon.

Kira was too concerned in his thought that he didn't realize there was a girl walking to his side and suddenly they bumped to each other. He was lieing on the hard pavement material and when he tried to get up, he touched something soft. He did not what it was until he heard a scream above him.

"WHAT ARE YOU TOUCHING AT? PERVERT!" shouted a girl with blonde hair, who was on top of Kira and whom Kira bumped into.

Feeling nervous, Kira quickly took back his hands and followed the girl to stand up. He apologized to the girl many times. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." Kira apologized once again yet to no avail. "I really am sorry for that. Pardon me. Anyway, are you alright?" asked him with concern.

That caught the girl attention. She shouted back at him. "Don't you see? I was fine until you bumped into me. If you paid attention more to your surrounding, you would not bumped onto me, you know that?"

"Right, I apologized once again. It just, I was in a deep thought just now. Sorry." Kira bowed to the girl this time.

"Stop apologizing! Don't you see that your sorry goes to no where?" said the girl. People were watching them yet they didn't seem to care about that. The pedestrians were looking at this commotion and wondered what could happen next.

"Yeah, you're right." Kira finally back to his sense again. He smiled to her softly. "By the way, as an apologize, how about I treat you for lunch?"

The girl looked at him suspiciously. Normally, people would just say sorry and then walk by, but this guy seemed different and anyway, she did not think that this guy could possibly do anything wrong to her. Besides, he looked weak. She nodded for the invitation which made Kira smiled widely. Now that made the girl realized there's something familiar with Kira, however, she pretended that it was just her imagination.

"Alright, but first, I need to call my friend. Do you mind with that?" asked Kira as he reached his cell phone. Now the girl's suspicious arise again, but seeing Kira's genuine feeling towards her, she nodded slowly and waited for him.

Meanwhile…

Athrun was walking around the park to have some sightseeing. "Geez, the bet is easy. All I have to do is to be gentle with them and boom, they're already mine. Now, I need to think what I'm going to ask Kira to do for me. Hmm…let's see."

Suddenly, his cellphone was buzzing and he reached his pocket to take it. "Hello, Athrun's speaking."

"Athrun, it's Kira!"

"Oh, hi Kira. Do you now realize my charm?" joked Athrun.

"Yeah, whatever. I'm just thinking, do you have time now?"

"Anything for my best friend. So, what's this? You have finally gave up? Or you have found the girl?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Anyway, I'm just asking if you have time for lunch with me and my new friend?"

"Of course I have, so, where is it?"

"Well, the café we use to hang out with others. I'll see you in 10 minutes."

With then, they bid good bye and Athrun walked to the café.

At the café

Kira and the blonde girl had arrived to the café earlier than Athrun. They had asked for the menu and looked through it. Both of them had decided what food they're going to order and now they're waiting for it along with Kira's friend, Athrun. The blonde girl seemed so curious about Kira's friend. Not that she suddenly found interest with Athrun or something. Hell, she didn't even know Athrun for God's sake! She just didn't like the idea of waiting someone that she didn't know.

"So, who are we waiting?" asked the blonde girl curiously.

Kira just smiled to her while saying, "We'll see it soon. By the way, my name's Kira Yamato. Just call me Kira, if you don't mind."

The blonde girl nodded as she was putting the information inside her head. "My name is Cagalli Yula Attha. Either Cagalli or Cags is fine with me."

"Gee, what a weird name." Kira started. "But I like it anyway." He smiled genuinely to her as she smiled back as her reply.

"Same goes to yours." They were laughing with Cagalli's statement.

Suddenly, a navy blue haired guy approached them. It was now Cagalli turned around to see who that guy was. Her amber eyes met with those mesmerizing emerald eyes. For instance, she felt captivated with those, but then she turned around to ignore him.

The same went to Athrun. He realized the girl was staring at him and he found himself mesmerized by those innocent amber eyes. A sly smirk appeared on his face when he found the girl turned her head around. He thought at that time his charm had worked like usual, but hell did he wrong.

"I'm sorry I was late, Kira." Athrun apologized to them.

Kira stood up and pleased Athrun to sit beside the former. "Athrun, finally. We've been waiting for you like hell. Cagalli." He called her name and that got her attention.

'So her name is Cagalli. What an unique name.' thought Athrun.

"Please meet my friend." He pointed to Athrun. Athrun nodded his head then mentioned his name. "My name is Athrun Zala, nice to meet you."

"Cagalli Yula Attha." Cagalli answered shortly and changed her view again.

Then they sat on the chair. After Athrun ordered his food, they began the conversation again. "So, I see you're the guy we've been waiting for, right?" asked Cagalli to open a conversation.

Athrun just nodded his head.

"Yeah, it's me. Is there something wrong?" asked Athrun softly to her like he did to any other girl. But, somehow Athrun realized that this girl was different. He just didn't know it yet.

Cagalli quickly shook her head. "It's not like that. It just…" She looked nervous, trying to find the perfect word to describe him.

'Gotcha.' Athrunt thought in his mind, while Kira just watching the new 'couple' who seemed to forget that he was there at the entirely time. Kira let out a sigh thinking it might be a sign that Cagalli was falling for his friend. However, he didn't believe what he heard just now.

"I'm sorry. It just, I don't like your attitude. I'm sorry if I offend you in some way. I know guy like you and to tell the truth, I'm not really fond about that. Sorry."

And that made everything changed. It seemed that Kira had won the bet for now and it's up to Athrun's charm to make her fall for him in one month.

Err…actually that's the end of this chapter. I was laughing when I wrote Kira was scared. It was weird that a guy kind like Kira will scare. Hahahaha...

What will happen to both of them? Will Athrun do everything to win the bet? Will Cagalli find out about the bet? We'll see on the next chapter. By the way, I'm rewriting the next chapter so, please be patient :)

Please read and review it for me. Thx
