Chapter 3: "The Surprise"
"Hey Cagalli!" Athrun called. Cagalli looked back only to see Athrun……kissing Meyrin!
"What the??!" Cagalli screamed in her thoughts. The scene almost broke her heart in pieces, itsy bitsy tiny pieces. But, Cagalli is a strong-willed girl and she doesn't want anyone to know that her heart is being torn into pieces. Instead, Cagalli after realizing what just happened quickly turned around and grabbed Shin's hand, who was also in a state of shock, and made their way out into the school's garden.
"Hey, are you alright Cagalli?" Shin asked worriedly. "Of course I'm fine Shin, that does not affect me at all, after all, we're just friends, I mean, we were just friends." Cagalli replied not daring to look into Shin's eyes afraid that he might see tears forming in her eyes. She quickly wiped the tears off and looked at Shin with a fake smile. "But…Cagalli…" Shin said noticing that her smile wasn't true at all. "I have an idea! Why don't we go get ourselves some soft ice cream after classes? My treat!" "Okay, if that's what you like, I'll see you then later!" Shin said while walking away from Cagalli who realized that he was gonna be late for geometry class.
After Shin was out of Cagalli's sight, warm, salty tears came flowing down her smooth skin. Her sobs were quiet but she didn't know that Shin who was hiding from the bushes. "I always knew that she did have feelings for him, he'll pay for what he did to my first love."
Back to the scene of the crime:
Upon seeing Cagalli leave with Shin, Athrun immediately broke the kiss which was against his will in the first place. "Wow Athrun! I didn't think that you would ever kiss me like that!" Meyrin was jumping gleefully while hugging Athrun's arms. "Meyrin…" "Yes Athrun honey?" "Will you please get off me? Right now. And I really mean now." Athrun commanded her coldly. "After stealing a kiss from me, you want me leave you? I won't, ever, that kiss meant everything to me, that was my first ever kiss. I won't ever leave your side from now on." Meyrin said with a stern face then retreating back to her fan girl face, still hanging on to Athrun's arm. "I said get off me!" Athrun was now really angry, he still can't believe that Cagalli would hold on to Shin's hand, he was really furious, he didn't think that his plan would backfire, he thought that Cagalli would pull him and then kiss him too or something like that wouldn't let his plan fail. "Get off me now! Right now!" After Athrun's shouting, Meyrin still held onto Athrun's arm never letting go. Athrun was really full now, with rage, he then threw Meyrin into the floor.
Everyone was surprised at Athrun's sudden outburst, many were whispering, "How could he do that? After stealing a kiss from her." "I thought he was a patient and gentle man. It didn't even cross my mind that he could do such thing." Athrun heard all of this. He had enough, he made his way out of the corridors and into the garden.
Cagalli still remained in the garden, crying. Shin is still in the garden too, watching her, and then he suddenly saw Athrun coming her way. He stood from his hiding place and towards Cagalli. "It's payback time." He murmured to himself.
When Shin approached Cagalli, he pulled her into a hug, she was surprised at first but returned hug and cried in his chest, making his uniform wet. But he didn't mind his uniform getting wet; he had to protect Cagalli and make Athrun pay for what he did to his love.
"I hate myself! My plan made Cagalli closer to Shin more! Darn! I hate myself so much!" Athrun said while walking towards the garden when he spotted shin and Cagalli. "They are hugging each other! Darn! I really hate myself now!" "Wait! What are they doing now?!" "How could they?!" Athrun shouted at his feet for dragging him out into the garden and making him see what he's seeing right now!
