Chapitre Sept- Love Advice?
"You're going to the end of the year ball with Kira right?" Cagalli sat on her bed, tapping her fingers on her desk. She spoke through an intercom; the receiver on the other end was her best friend Lacus.
"I was thinking about it…" She began.
"Come on Lacus, you have to go. It'll be fun." Cagalli began.
"Really? But I mean… what about you?" Her best friend asked, concern sounding in her voice.
"Don't worry about me-" The blonde was cut off by her father's sharp voice, "Cagalli! Dinner's ready!" "One minute!" Cagalli replied. "Go, it's in a few weeks and that's final." Cagalli pressed the power off button and the call ended.
She stood and hurried downstairs to find her father setting the table. It was one of those TV dinner nights Cagalli and Uzumi shared every once and a while.
They sat at the table, and Cagalli picked at her food, her mind traveling everywhere but here. "So, Cagalli… How was your day?" He asked, chewing on some carrots.
"It was fine. And yours?" She asked, placing down her fork.
"Well, work was rather busy today." He said. There were a few moments of silence and Cagalli got up. "Where are you going?" Uzumi questioned.
"I'm finished." She responded.
"You barely touched your dinner at all." Her father said, then he simply pushed his plate towards Cagalli for her to take. He switched the channel on the television and fell silent.
She took both plates and put the plates in the dishwasher along with their cups and silverware. Then she retreated to her room upstairs and logged onto the Internet.
The next morning the alarm clock pierced the air, and Cagalli rose while rubbing sleep from her eyes. A talk show host spoke on the alarm's radio as she got dressed, and she slipped on her clothes for the school day.
She went into her first period class, still half asleep and not entirely aware of her surroundings. "Hey Cagalli. How was your weekend?" Miriallia took a seat next to her. The redhead was cheery as usual and a big smile for everybody.
"It was alright. I just overslept and tried to get in some time for my homework." Cagalli replied, tiredly.
"There's a newspaper club meeting after school. We're looking to recruit new members. Do you want to join?" Miriallia asked.
Miriallia stared at her, and Cagalli was barely listening.
"Cagalli?" Miriallia repeated her name.
"Mm? Oh-yeah, sure." She said, even though she had no clue what Miriallia had just asked her.
"Great! You're the best!" Miriallia hugged her and went to sit down in her rightful seat, in the opposite corner of the classroom.
"What is she so happy about this morning?" Lacus asked, greeting Cagalli.
"Hmm? I don't know." She murmured, resting her head in her arms and taking a short snooze.
After school Cagalli was wide- awake and started to walk to through the main lobby when a head grabbed her arm and dragged her away.
"It's this way silly. Come on." She recognized Miriallia's voice.
"What? Where-" Cagalli began.
"Don't tell me you forgot. The newspaper club, remember?" Miriallia turned about and Cagalli shouted, "Look out!"
"Ah!!" Her friend lost her balance, and was about to trip down the stairs until a familiar tall blonde balanced her with his arms. "Wow, thank-you." Miriallia said, relief flooding her features.
The redhead slowly looked up, her blue orbs meeting his brown ones. "You should be more careful next time." He smiled slowly.
"Dearka Elsman? The nerve!" She shoved him and walked by with a huff.
He frowned, "Why does she dislike me so much? Every time…" He sighed with another groan. "Oh- Hi Cagalli. What's up?" He asked.
"Nothing. I'm just… joining the newspaper club." She replied.
"Me too. It's this way." Dearka led the way to the computer lab.
Cagalli took a seat at a computer next to Miriallia. Mir explained the rules, and what Cagalli's job was to be. She was given Mir's old job as a photographer and Miriallia took on the job of captioning the photos, writing the article, and laying out the pages that were to be printed.
Later that afternoon Cagalli brought up Dearka. Miriallia's eyes narrowed, and she irately clicked away at the computer.
"Mir?" Cagalli pressed her friend to answer.
"That jerk…" Mir mumbled under her breath. "Look, I used to have a crush on him in high school, right?" She began.
"I follow." Cagalli nodded.
"Well," She cleared her throat, shooting daggers at Dearka who simply looked away. "I wrote him a love note and he told only the entire high school about it. He acted so high and mighty about it, and I never talked to him ever since."
"So… you never found out if he liked you back?" Cagalli asked.
"I don't give a damn. That jerk." Miriallia huffed. The club drew to a close and Miriallia logged off the computer. "Thanks for coming Cagalli-" Mir started.
"Hey, Mir!" Dearka called, making his way over.
"What does that good for nothing jerk want now?" She hissed. "I'll see you later. Bye Cagalli!" Miriallia ran off.
"Mir, wait!" Dearka jogged over to where Cagalli had once stood with Mir. But Mir was gone and out the door in a few seconds.
"I'll talk to her if you want." Cagalli offered.
"That's alright… it's…" Dearka murmured.
"Do you like her?" She guessed. A bright flush came across his skin as he tried to hide his embarrassment.
"I was going to ask her to the dance. But now I'm starting to wonder if she'll ever forgive me." Dearka exhaled slowly, "It's just I was so happy. I guess she took it the wrong way."
"Don't worry Dearka, I'm sure she'll come around soon." Cagalli smiled.
"You really think so?" He asked, a glimmer of hope shining in his eyes.
"Yeah, I really do."
-Please R&R, pretty please??? I'm thinking Shinn needs a date to the end of the year dance. So who should it be? Luna or Stellar? I'm sorry for asking, but if you care please, please include who you think (Luna/Stellar) in your review.
