Athrun POV

There she is, the girl I admired so much, Meer Campbell. What's not to like about her? Her pink hair that is softly flowing up to her waist. Her fair skin, rosy cheeks and red lips. She looked like a goddess. I watched her exit her way out of the cafeteria and all I could do was stare at the door waiting. Maybe she would come back?

I'd do anything for her to notice me. She has been my classmates since we were first year, but she paid no attention to me. She only dated guys that are on a higher batch. Couldn't I match them?

"Earth to Athrun!" My bestfriend Cagalli snapped me out of my thoughts by slamming our table. She really uses violence you know? "Are you normal? Why do you have that goofy smile plastered all over your face? It's creeping me out."

I just then realized, when you see the one you admire. You're expression changes and becomes all lovey-dovey. Oh well. That's what love can do to me.

"Sorry Cagalli, I just can't help but admire Meer, she looked so beautiful today." I dreamily sighed. Meer's face already back in my thoughts.

"Yeah. Yeah. You've been telling me that many times already. Why don't you just go to her and ask her out?" She raised me an eyebrow.

"It's not that easy." It really is. Imagine me, going up to her and asking her out. Many guys in this school also like her. She deserves them more than me. They're more good-looking.

"What do you mean it's not? She's my friend, I could easily ask her if you wanted me too." She interrupted my train of thoughts again.

"She's your friend. But not mine." I countered back.

"When are you going to have the courage to confess to her? We are almost graduating you know."

She's right. After 1 month, we were going to graduate high school, have different lives and move to different colleges. "Well, I can do it. I'll confess before we graduate."

"Oh yeah. Sure." She said in a tone that she didn't really believe me.

"Look Cagalli." I said, catching her attention and making sure that she heard every word I said. "I promise to confess my love for Meer before graduation. If I'll be a wimp and back out. I'll treat you anything you want for a whole day. I swear I will."

"Oh." She said sounding more interesting. "Then why don't you lose instead? It's going to be hard work for you."

"Come on, Cagalli." I said, my eyes pleading.

"Just kidding. Sure, sure. But I'm not helping you. You have do it on your own."

"Wait! You told me you could help me ask her out."

"That was before." She smirked. "I changed my mind, I won't help you. Figure it out yourself."

I was about to speak but then the bell had to ring. I stood up and threw my food in the trash bin. Me and Cagalli went out of the cafeteria. I had some hope in me. Meer would like me.

We went for our lockers to get our books. There was something that was inserted in my locker, I pulled it out and stared at it for a moment. It was a sealed white envelope, I looked at the envelope from every angle hoping to find out where it was from, but the only words that were written were: "To Athrun". Forgetting my books I carefully opened the letter and pulled out the letter. It read:

To Athrun,

I am not really sure if you looked at my direction today. I might just have an illusion of you looking through my eyes, staring at me badly that made me feel nervous, but it felt really great, it was like I'm melting. But even though you did or did not, at least I had a chance to glance at your lovely face brought by the flame that is residing in your piercing emerald eyes and expressive smile, though that smile wasn't meant for me. I cannot understand why I am still crying and waiting for you to recognize me as someone that you can lean on, trust, and love. I want to tell you that I am someone different behind all those laughs, someone who really cares so much about you… I am not someone that can express what I feel in front of people…I'm trying to hide. I'm afraid.. and I know that you would avoid me if you will have any know about my feelings for you… Last three years was the happiest and bestest time of all.. I felt the power of romance…

Athrun was dumbfounded who could have wrote this letter? He looked around to find anyone that can answer his question, but to no avail.

"Hey Athrun, what's that." I heard Cagalli running to me, I think she was beside me already, but I did not pay attention. I busy finding the girl who wrote this letter in my hands.

"Uh.." Before I could respond, the paper was already in her hands.

"Lemme see." I observed her while she was reading the letter. She gave it back to me. "You have a secret admirer eh? Who could have wrote it?" She said nudging me.

"I have no clue. But I'm hoping it's her. Come on, we'll be late for class." I said while I slipped the letter in my books and closed my locker shut.

I couldn't really concentrate myself in doing Algebra. My mind wandered to whom the letter might be from. I mentally was solving a mystery and guessing if any of the girls in our class was the one who wrote it. But my thoughts kept coming back to Meer Campbell. She could've wrote it. She is after all good in poetry. I've read the poems she wrote for english class.

Maybe it is her! Yes!

But then again maybe not. After all, who was I to her?

As my mind debated. Meer Campbell, looked at my direction. Of course there I was gaping at her, but she didn't mind. She actually winked at me and smiled! That was the first time! Oh God! It is her! Finally!

It's her! It's her! It's her! I couldn't actually believe it. Why would she wink in the first place if she wasn't the one who made the letter? It has to be her. I'm sure of it.

I ripped a piece of paper from my notebook and scribbled as fast as I can. My teacher doesn't really want students passing notes and chatting while her class is going on. When she catches us, oh boy, Ms. Rammuis really explodes.

I finished scribbling and passed the paper to Cagalli, she was right beside me so she was able to read it fast. She gave me a thumbs-up then busied herself with our lesson.

Oh boy. It was her. It was. I can't wait to talk to her.

NORMAL POV

Athrun you're such an idiot. Can't you tell from the beginning?
