Chapter 10- Deep Trouble
Monday…Cagalli stepped into the classroom with a smile on her face. As soon as she came in, boys began teasing her, " How does Athrun feel like?" Cagalli gave a puzzled look.
As she walked to her seat, girls shot her a glare. If looks could kill, Cagalli would have died at that moment. Cagalli sat beside Athrun and whispered, " Why are the girls looking at me that way?"
Athrun shrugged, " It must have something to do with the incident on Saturday." Cagalli said, with a wicked grin, " They will get it from me."
Just then, Meer walked over and stuck her tongue out at Cagalli. Athrun snapped, " Don't be rude!" Meer said, " I am not. She is the one being rude."
Athrun snapped, " Just get lost!" Meer pouted and stomped off. Yzak entered the class with some of his friends. They were laughing together.
Just then, Yzak spotted Athrun and Cagalli glaring at him. Yzak immediately waved goodbye to his friends and walked over to Athrun and Cagalli.
Yzak said, " What's up? Both of you look so angry." Athrun said, " Were you the one who spread all the news?" Yzak pointed at himself, " Me? No way! I bet it was Kira. Kira likes to gossip."
Cagalli waved her fist, " That Kira! Wait till he gets it from me!" Athrun gritted his teeth, " I am not going to forgive Kira!" Yzak consoled, " Don't be too angry with Kira. When he knows you are angry with him, he will surely avoid both of you."
Cagalli nodded her head, " That makes sense." Yzak smiled, " I better get going." After he had finished speaking, he walked over to his seat. Both boys and girls kept looking in Athrun and Cagalli's direction.
Most of Athrun's fan girls were gossiping among themselves. Cagalli pointed at a group of fan girls and said, " They must be talking about how bad I am, and what I did to deserve a hug from you."
Athrun patted her shoulder, " Calm down, I will sort that out." Athrun stood up and was about to walk over to the group of girls when Cagalli took his hand. She looked at him, " It's alright."
Athrun blushed and returned to his seat. Both of them were silent for about a few minutes. Suddenly, Cagalli shouted, " Kira! Stop!" Athrun looked at Kira.
Kira was very surprised and puzzled. He looked at Athrun, but Athrun only shrugged. Cagalli walked over to Kira and shouted in his face, " Why did you tell everybody about the incident?"
Kira shook his head, " It's not me. It's Dearka. I saw him telling his friends just now." Cagalli retorted, " Yzak said it was you." Kira insisted, " It's not me! Yzak lied to you."
From his seat, Yzak could hear the commotion going on. When he heard Kira said he lied to Cagalli, he stood up and shouted, " I didn't lie! Kira, you are the liar!"
Kira pointed at Yzak, " You better shut up!" Just then, Dearka walked into the class, " Hello!" After Dearka walked in, Luna, Lacus, Shinn and Mir walked in.
Cagalli held Dearka tightly by his collar. Dearka said, " What's wrong?" Cagalli glared at him, " You told everybody about the incident!"
Mir interrupted, " It wasn't him." Cagalli looked at Mir, " Then who?" Luna stammered, " It… It was Yzak…" Cagalli turned to Yzak, " What?! You said it wasn't you! And you promised me not to tell anybody! You broke your promise!"
Yzak retorted, " Luna, we aren't enemies. Why are you doing this to me?" Luna looked down and mumbled, " I am sorry."
Cagalli let go of Dearka and went forward to Yzak, " You think it's very funny?" Yzak shook his head. Cagalli raised her fist and punched Yzak in the eye.
Ms Murrue came into the class at that moment. She shouted, " Cagalli Yula Athha!" Cagalli mumbled, " I am dead."
Yzak massaged his black eye. Ms Murrue walked over to him, " Yzak, are you okay?" Yzak nodded his head. Ms Murrue turned to Cagalli, " Follow me."
Ms Murrue led Cagalli into the principal's office. Ms Murrue told Mr Durandal what happened. Mr Durandal said, " Thanks, Murrue. You can go now."
Ms Murrue walked out of the principal's office, leaving Cagalli alone with Mr Durandal. Mr Durandal looked at Cagalli, " Ms Cagalli, please tell me what happened just now."
Cagalli looked at the floor and her face went red. She stammered as she told the whole story to Mr Durandal. After listening to Cagalli's story, Mr Durandal said, " I see. I will punish Mr Yzak Joule for breaking his promise. You may go now."
As Cagalli turned to go, Mr Durandal said, " Call Yzak Joule to come to my office later." Cagalli smiled and nodded her head. As Cagalli returned to her class, she wondered why the principal didn't punish her for punching Yzak.
In the class…Cagalli stepped into the class. Everybody asked her, " What happened?" Cagalli just smiled and whispered to Ms Murrue, " Mr Durandal wants to see Yzak Joule in his office now."
Ms Murrue stood up, " Mr Yzak, Mr Durandal is looking for you. Go to his office straight away." Yzak passed Cagalli as he walked out of the class.
Cagalli stuck a tongue out at him. Yzak cursed Cagalli as he proceeded to the principal's office.
Outside the office…Yzak knocked the door and he heard Mr Durandal telling him to go in. He walked in and said, " May I know why Mr Durandal is looking for me?"
Mr Durandal signaled Yzak to sit down. Yzak flopped onto a chair opposite the principal. Mr Durandal began, " Ms Cagalli has told me the whole story. I think it is very wrong of you to break your promise."
Yzak protested, " But Cagalli punched me." Mr Durandal looked at him, " But you broke your promise. It will cause Ms Cagalli to be embarrassed for maybe her whole life. Does a punch really hurt so much?"
Yzak shook his head. Mr Durandal said, " Since you agreed with me, you have to accept the punishment." Yzak mumbled, " What's the punishment?"
Mr Durandal said, " I haven't thought of the punishment yet. But I can assure you that it will be the most distressing punishment. You may go now."
Yzak walked back to the class, mumbling under his breath. He walked into the class quickly and sat down beside Luna. Luna asked, " How was it?" Yzak hissed, " I am in deep trouble!"
