Cagalli pushed hard the gym door and entered. No one was around, while wiping away the tears that strolled down her cheeks; she sat down at one corner. Just when she was about to hug her knees, the door opened and Athrun's face appeared. She just stared at him blankly and turned her face away.
Athrun sat down next to her. "Cagalli, please look at me".
She ignored him and laid her head on her knees. Athrun felt sad and hurt at the same time. He was sad by the way all those lunatic fan girls of his treated her and hurt because she didn't wanna look at him.
"I'm sorry if I hurt your feeling by saying that you're my girlfriend. It's just that I really, really want you to be my one and only girl in my life," he confessed, tried taking her hand.
She quickly shoved his hand away. He waited for her to say something but she just kept quiet. He sighed and leaned his body on the wall. "Please say something. You make me feel like I've done something really terrible if you keep quiet like that".
She felt like a bee had stung her. "WHAT WAS HAPPENNING JUST NOW IF IT'S NOT SOMETHING REALLY TERRIBLE?! OH, I GET IT! IT WAS SOMETHING REALLY NICE THEN!" she suddenly roared and turned to face him.
He winced, as he didn't expect her to be this angry. "Cagalli, calm down will ya'? I know you're pissed off but look at the bright side. They will no longer bother you now that you're my girlfriend. I won't allow them to even go near you," he tried teasing her, expecting her to blush but apparently he thought wrong. Her eyes turned to fire and she gritted her teeth.
"LIKE I FUCKING CARE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER THIS! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU AND YOUR BITCHY FAN GIRLS! ALL OF YOU CAN GO TO HELL!" she screamed hysterically.
He felt like she just slapped him hard on the face. She breathed heavily and tears strolling down her face. He quickly wiped it away. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!" she shouted, pushing his hand away.
He just ignored her and pulled her into his embrace. She hit him repeatedly on the back but he just endured the pain. "Let me go!" she barked, pushing him away.
"You don't really mean that, I can tell by the look in your eyes," he whispered softly, slowly broke the hug. He stared at her deeply in the eyes and she instantly felt calm.
"See? I know you never meant everything that you said just now," he caressed her cheeks gently. "Tell me what's bothering you, Cagalli. Please feel free to share everything with me; I'm always here for you".
Her eyes brimmed with tears again. "I don't know…" she hiccupped, "I mean; I'm not sure what's really happening to me…"
He kissed away all of her tears and hugged her back in his arms. She buried her face at his chest and cried her lungs out. He patted her head gently and kissed the top of her head. "Shh, it's okay. Everything's gonna be alright," he murmured.
She slowly leaned back from him and looked down at the hard floor. "Thank you for lending me you shoulder. I shouldn't have been acting like this. It's just that I was kinda angry because your fan girls underestimated me. I know that I'm not as pretty as them, nor I have curvy body like them. But I have feelings too. Nobody's really perfect and…" she kept talking without even realizing that Athrun was staring at her with a strange look.
Only when she looked up did she noticed him staring at her. "What? What's wrong?" she frowned.
"Nothing's wrong, in fact you look even cuter without that big, ugly glasses of yours," he said huskily, winking while showing her glasses with his other hand.
Her eyes widen with shocked. She hadn't realized when exactly he took her glasses off her face. A tinge of pink blossomed on her cheeks.
"I love it when you blush. It makes me wanna kiss you but I know you don't really like it when I kiss you without permission, though I know you enjoyed it very much in the end. So, no worries," he grinned slyly.
She turned red by the words he said but she quickly cleared her throat. "Do you even listening to a word I said earlier? Obviously no," she changed the subject.
He chuckled. "I do listen and let me tell you this. You are the most beautiful, perfect and smart girl I've ever laid my eyes on. No matter what people say about you, I would always love you," he leaned closer to her and no words were needed to describe what happen next.
It's been a week since the horrible incident in the cafe at the college. Suddenly, a loud screaming came from the student lounge. "WHAT?! MY ATHRUN AND YAMATO GIRL ARE A COUPLE?! HOW DARE SHE DO THIS TO ME!" Mia Campbell shouted angrily. All of her followers winced. They didn't expect her to be that angry. "THAT UGLY BITCH WILL GET IT FROM ME!"
"She must have put something in Athrun's drinks or something coz I can't even believe that he would fall for an ugly bitch like her," a dark-haired girl said, trying to make Mia felt even angrier at Cagalli. The others just nodded their heads.
"Yeah, she must have been doing that coz there's NO WAY my Athrun would go for her!" Mia gritted through clenched teeth. You are so gonna pay for this, Yamato!
