:Cagalli POV:
This is it, today will be the day that I, Cagalli Yula Attha will ask, Athrun Zala to go out with me. I haven't quite exactly figured out how I am going to do it but I know an idea will come to me sooner or later.
I took one last look at myself in the mirror, blonde hair hanging down in light curls, amber eyes, school uniform, swollen hand, yep I look like a real winner. Every guys dream, oh well it is as good as it is going to get. I quickly grabbed my bag and made my way out the door. I have to hurry because Dearka, and Flay are probably already waiting for me outside in the car. Gotta love having Dearka as a chauffer.
Sure enough there they sat. Dearka had his window rolled down so when he noticed me he hit the side of his door, "Hurry sleeping beauty! Not that I usually would care being late, but I have a test today in first period. I have to pass it for lacrosse."
Oh boy. Lacrosse. The closer we get to games the more wild our school becomes. Even Kira gets all wound up, I thought Lacus would be against it considering her personality but in all reality I think she finds it sexy. Eww anything involving my brother and the word sexy is just gross.
I launched myself in the back seat avoiding whatever was in there, "Sorry. I had a rough night."
Flay turned in her seat so that she was facing me, with an innocent look on her face, "Rough night? How so?"
"Oh you know how so! I had nightmares the whole entire night! It was bloody awful." I looked out the window in a huff.
"Hahaha, you kill me Cagalli. I love you to death." I heard her shift in her seat so that she was most likely facing forward again. She was on a new topic about a party this weekend. I know she will ask me to go but like most of the other times, I will abruptly decline. They just aren't my scene.
Once Dearka pulled in his parking spot he quickly turned his car off and tossed his keys to me. "Gotta run! Lock my car after you get out, please." Flay let out a giggle and hurried out as well.
Me on the other hand I took my good ole' sweet time. My perfect record here is already ruined anyways. What's another tardy going to do? After locking Dearka's car I began to slowly walk towards the school's entrance.
"Hey Cagalli!"
No way. I can't talk to him yet! I glanced behind me to see Athrun quickly approaching. Not really thinking I took off sprinting. I heard him shout, "Are you seriously running away from me right now!?"
No Athrun, I'm just getting my morning exercise.
1..1..1
Ugh, I completely forgot that Athrun is my partner in shop class! Just when I thought I was doing well at avoiding him, Murdoch drops the bomb that today we have to start sitting with our partners. Turns out we will be doing more than just helping each other study for the exam. Oh well it's not a big deal, because there is no way I'm asking him out during class and risking people hearing it.
I made my way to the empty stool next to him and plopped down on it harshly. He turned expecting anyone but me I'm sure judging by the surprised look on his face. "You're my partner?"
"Obviously."
"Fantastic."
Sarcasm, how lovely. I wonder if he is any good at building things? I mean if I have to be stuck with him, I feel I deserve to at least get a good grade from it.
"Heh, at least now you can't avoid me anymore." He commented.
I glanced to him playing innocent, "What do you mean? I haven't avoided you?"
He smirked, as he rested his elbow on the table, "Right. So every time I called out to you, the running, and hiding are just a part of your daily activities?"
I shrugged my shoulders, "You never know."
He rolled his eyes, and reached for my hand. "What are you doing?"
He held my hand in his gently as he inspected it, "I'm checking your hand dimwit. You need to go see a doctor, it's pretty bad swollen."
This is weird. Maybe he should go see a doctor. Since when does Athrun act like he has compassion? "Uhh, no it will be fine. I just need to ice it more after school."
Athrun didn't complain when I pulled my hand away from his. He did however question me more on the doctor situation. "What? Don't tell me Miss Cagalli Evil Attha is scared of visiting the doctor office?"
Did he really just use evil in my name?
"No! I'm not scared of going to the doctor!"
"You are so."
"Am not!"
"Are so."
"Am not!"
"Are so."
"I am not scared of going to the damn doctor!"
Oops. After my loud outburst the whole room became quiet and everyone turned to stare at Athrun and me. Kira furrowed his brows in confusion. I put a hand to my head and looked out the window, while Athrun busted into amused laughter. I would slap him if I knew I could get away with it. Murdoch told Athrun to quit laughing and for everyone to get back to work. Not that Athrun and I have even started.
"How about I take you?"
I turnt around quickly to look at him, "What?"
He must have found my surprised face entertaining, because he broke into another fit of laughter. After a few more minutes he finally composed himself enough to speak. "I basically offered to take you to a doctor."
"Why?"
"Because I feel responsible. My parents (despite what you may think) raised me not to let a wounded girl go untreated. Well something like that anyways." He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
I stared at him in disbelief. "It's not like you slammed my hand in the table. And despite what I think? Whatever just forget about it!"
He opened his book, "So why are you carrying Dearka's keys?"
I looked down at the lanyard hanging around my neck, "Oh no reason. This morning he left them with me so I could lock the car. I just haven't had a chance to return them to him yet."
He snorted, "Knowing you, you're probably thinking it has some secret meaning of him having potential feelings for you. Well let me lay the facts out for you, he doesn't sweetheart. You're just a friend to him and that is all you will ever be, but if you ever get lonely..." He leaned towards me, "... I'll show you a night that you will never forget." He finished with a wink.
I punched him in the face. Hard.
"You're seriously scum, Zala."
He went to stand up from the floor probably to retaliate. I didn't wait around to find out though I picked up my things and made a hasty unorganized exit. I didn't even take the time to glance towards Kira.
After coming to my senses it dawned on me that I just punched the guy I'm supposed to be confessing my 'love' too. I can already see what a beautiful relationship we would have.
1..1..1
:Athrun POV:
That bitch just hit me! No not hit, she literaly punched me in the face. I can handle her kicking me or slapping me but punching me in the face!? I should chase after and kick her ass! Ugh, but I have a reputation to keep and I don't really want me attacking a girl to be a part of it.
Then there is the other reason I can't kill her, Kira respectively. Who just happens to be walking towards me.
He stopped and crossed his arms, "Well?" He said sternly.
I couldn't help but chuckle as I rubbed my sore face. Kira's face was mixture of concern, confusion, shock, and anger. "Your sister is starting to show her true colors is all."
Kira narrowed his eyes, "Really? You didn't say anything weird to her did you?"
"Nothing but the honest truth, Kira." For once I was relieved when I felt annoying arms wrap around me.
"Oh my! Athrun are you okay? I always knew that girl was trouble, but I never realized she was this barbaric! To think she actually punched you!"
I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes, "Yeah no kidding, but I'm fine Meer."
Kira however didn't fight his urge and rolled his eyes. Something told me he wasn't a big fan of Meer not that he ever said. He let out a grunt, with a muffled, "I see that your busy, later" before walking off.
I changed my attention so that I was now focusing on Meer. She smiled at me, "How about you come over to my place this evening? I can be your nurse."
I smiled in return to her, "I'll have to think about it."
1..1..1
"So what happened?"
I let out a sigh. It was the end of the day and I was getting my stuff to go home out of my locker, when Flay decided to show up and ask me about the whole punching Athrun thing. After grabbing my bag I shut my locker and turnt to face her, "Nothing it's actually just a misunderstanding."
She had a skeptical look on her face, "What kind of misunderstanding?"
I shrugged, as I pulled Dearka's keys away from my body to hand to her, "A class assignment. He wouldn't agree with what I wanted to do. You know how serious I get when it comes to school work."
I could tell she was going for it. In reality she knows I'm a book worm. She looked at Dearka's keys confused, "Why are you handing these to me?"
I smiled, "I have a ride with Kira. So can you give those to him for me?"
She laughed, "Brother, Sister bonding time, why am I not surprised? Sure no problem. Text me!"
I nodded and waved as I began to walk away, "Thank you! And will do!" Sorry for lying to you Flay but I have to go make things right with Athrun. So that I can help you.
1..1..1
"Well what do you want?" He said impatiently.
He was standing across from me with his arms crossed and a hateful look on his face.
"Don't waste my time with something lame. This better be important." He added.
I don't know what to say right now. Hell I don't even have a clue how to start this conversation! We are in the empty science lab, and I can tell he's still really pissed off from what happened in shop class. After parting ways with Flay I found Athrun in the school parking lot heading for his car. That's when I ran and grabbed him to only drag his ass here. Did I do this for nothing? I never confessed to a guy before. How do I.. Ugh! Then there is the whole part of convincing myself that I like him. I really should have thought on this better.
"If your not going to say anything, then I'm leaving." He said, heading for the door.
Ehh, he's leaving? No he can't! I have to stop him. "Wait!" I protested.
I quickly made my way to him and grabbed his shirt trying to prevent him from moving anymore.
He glared at me and shouted, "What do you want?! Get on with it!"
Alright Cagalli this is your chance, go for it! You can do it!
I let go of his shirt and stepped away from him to look at his face. "Look, I know I'm not exactly attractive, or entertaining, not to mention I'm simple and plain with absolutely no charm about me whatsoever. The best thing I got going right now is my intelligence. Which adds up to me not being the type of girl you usually date, but I'm going to ask, Athrun Zala will you go out with me?"
I blinked, no reaction? He stood there like an emotionless statue. I mean I figured he would at least laugh at me? Aw, he frowned. Uhh, is he mad? He took a step towards me, I took a step back for safety measures. He looked anxious, he turnt towards the door and kicked the trash can beside it. I watched as the trash spilled out across the room and the can slammed against the wall before falling to the floor.
"Are you joking?! What is your deal!? Are you bi-polar or something!? Yesterday I was disgusting, blah, blah, then today you have the nerve to punch me in the face! Now you're telling me that you like me, and want to be my girlfriend!? What the hell is wrong with you!?" He screamed furiously.
Well he is definitely pissed. I never imagined him to actually be kind of scary. What should I do?
"Damnit, speak! You never seemed to have a problem with it before!"
He looked like he was on the verge of hitting something, I don't care long as he doesn't hit me.
"Geez, Athrun. Just relax." I started to walk towards him. "I'm not messing with you. I'm being serious here. I really like you, I always have." I said, stopping when I stood right in front of him.
He rolled his eyes, I placed my hands on his, "I want to be your girlfriend. As much as I hate to admit it, you are right about some things. I think I was mean to you because I was trying to get your attention."
I can now add liar to my college applications when describing myself. I glanced up to him and noticed he was starting to smile? So I guess that means he is falling for it. Ha, I should keep it up. "I've been thinking about it more recently, I always had a thing for you, and I even envied the girls you were with."
I turnt my head trying to play shy. When really I just didn't want him to realize this is all total bull crap. As if I would ever like him, and like hell I would ever be jealous of those skanks he has been with. Give me a break.
He still hasn't spoken. Maybe I should butter him up with a lot of compliments to boost his already conceited ego. This is the final go, let's watch as that big head of yours explodes! "Athrun, you're just downright sexy, smart, and athletic! Seriously! Who wouldn't have a thing for you?"
He smirked proudly, "Fine, why don't we just hook up? Saves a lot of time."
Eww, you pervert. "Yeah, I'm not that type of girl. If I ever hook up it will be with my boyfriend. Not with any random guy. Sorry."
That's true except I want it to be with a real boyfriend, not a fake. Hopefully I can work my way around that stuff later.
"Oh, you weren't kidding. You really are boring, Cagalli. When we were younger I never expected you to be the innocent type. How do you expect me to like such a lame girl like you?"
He was teasing but it still caught me off guard. "I know, I just wanted to try. Don't you ever wonder what it is like to have a real girlfriend? Not just some girl you have a short fling with?"
He raised an eyebrow, "Hmm, that's true. You do realize that I don't just settle with one girl? I'm a very friendly person Cagalli. I treat my friends with great affection, which pisses off my girlfriends. Not wanting to deal with the whole misunderstanding I just leave them."
What an arrogant jerk. He has to be the biggest jerk I have ever met in my life! Who would even trust a guy like you in the first place is what I want to know? I smiled, "It's okay. I know you are popular and girls are around you a lot. I don't care, I will trust you. You can do whatever you want, I'll understand."
He sighed, "Why do you want me to go out with you so bad? If you don't even care what I do?"
Ugh, just say yes already! I want to go to my dorm!
"High school is getting closer everyday to being over. Before I'm thrown out I want to have at least one relationship. So I know what it feels like. As for the whole girls situation, they are just casual things for you, I on the other hand will be the one by your side with the official title, aka girlfriend. That's why it isn't a big deal to me."
He nodded his head in approval. "Ha, alright you win. I just hope you realize what you are doing and what being my girlfriend means. You will have a hard time, girls won't be happy, they will do bad things to you. Be prepared."
He said it as if he was really proud about it. He really needs to be dropped down to size. I laughed, "I know. Maybe once in a while you will stick up for me?"
"I can't be with you 24/7. If you get hurt it's not my fault."
Ugh! I forced a fake smile, "I understand."
He smiled and took my uninjured hand into his, "Good, now that is all settled, it's time I do my first official duty as your boyfriend."
I followed him out of the classroom through the hallway my hand still in his. "What might that be?"
He turnt to look at me with a devious smile, "Why taking you to the doctor of course!"
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo!
