Chapter 10: Shinn's Plan
Shinn's POV
While I was walking in the hallways, munching my jumbo size burger, someone suddenly knocks me out unto the floor. The impact was too much that I almost injured my arm; but, heck, my burger is alright, so I'm relieved in an instance. Although, I am mostly alright, my back is still in pain by the great impact unto the floor. So I lifted myself carefully and searched for that reckless person, who causes me so much trouble. And guess who the mastermind is? Blonde; check, fierce amber eyes; check, incredibly petite; check, war freak; double check. All in all…"Cagalli, what the hell are you doing?!" I demanded a proper explanation from her.
Well, this is unusual; she looked a bit restless and surprised. "Shinn!"
Upon standing up, I looked curiously at her. "What are you thinking running frantically like that?" I asked.
She tried to restrain herself and faced me directly, with eyes so sadly innocent. What the hell happened to the fierce blonde that I know? "I…I'm sorry Shinn…" Her voice seems like a broken glass. And with a frown, I know something was wrong.
I raised an eyebrow at her. "Did you eat anything unusual, Cagalli? You seem a little bit sick." I asked irreverently.
But heck, she just frowned like an idiot. I don't know if it's because she's angry or she just need some time to cool off. "Hey, Cags!" I hissed loudly while staring at her doll like body. Not moving, not speaking…Is she dead?
Although this would destroy my reputation, I just have to do it. I leaned closer to her and braced her shoulders. Then, I look at her face. "Cagalli, what is wrong? Is there something bothering you?" I asked concernedly. Of course, I am also a human being with dignity! "Hey, Cags…" I called again, but no response.
Getting tired of this nonsensical process, I shook her a bit. Maybe, this will shake her brain. Thinking about that, I chuckled in my mind. Well, back to my concerned self. So in this process, I was merely speaking to a wall, by her non-action. "This is really annoying!" I muttered under my breath.
"Just leave me alone…" Wait, did she just spoke? But; why the hell should she be so cold! For her information, I was just damn worried about her.
"Cagalli?" I looked at her dubiously.
She removed my hands and just walked far away from me…Is she having mood swings? Nah, she isn't even a girl. Well, like that, I just stared at her till she finally diminished in my sight. Am I overreacting? I guess so…But why?
After some rough time at school, especially in cagalli's case; I am now laying down my bed, staring at ceiling with no clues or whatsoever on the blonde's case. Pft! She doesn't even deserve my concern. But well, we do have similarities and we have known each other for some quite time…Hmm...
Is two weeks such a big factor for us? Well, she's been my classmate for all God knows; but, there really isn't anything special that happened to us during those times. I just happen to know her more, these past few days. And heck, she is one frightening war freak!
Upon thinking about it, I merely roll to the other side of my bed, and stared my wall, full of Luna's picture. "Oh, how I love her short pink hair, and how her smile brighten my days. She is just too perfect!" My smile grew larger upon remembering my goddess of beauty; but, was easily erased upon thinking of my blonde classmate. "What the!" I immediately rose from my position. "I shouldn't be thinking of my death!" I said to myself while wiping it off my mind.
Maybe, I should go to sleep! With that, I slump myself down my bed again.
The next day, like normal days, I walked through the corridors and upon finding my locker, I dumped my things there. Upon closing my locker, I saw a pair of amber eyes looking at me innocently.
"Shinn, may I talk with you for a sec?"
Although hesitant at first, she of course dragged me anyway. "Cagalli!" I tried to loosen up her grip unto my hand. But undeniably, my face grew red about thinking of her grasp on me. Wait, what the hell am I thinking?!
So after stopping at the cafeteria, she looked at me gleefully.
"What?" I asked
"Can you lend me some money?" She asked with a puppy dog pout to partner it. "Please?"
What the hell is wrong with her? And heck; why should I lend her some money after what she has done to me. She almost killed me many times and she always causes me some trouble.
I was about to refuse when she suddenly leaned closer to me, that my senses just took over for me. And absentmindedly, I gave her some money. Wait, did I just do that?
"Thanks, Shinn!" She smiled happily at me.
Am I on another planet or what? Did she just smile at me? "Umm…Cagalli…" I tried asking, but…
"What is it Shinn?" She looked at me dubiously.
"Umm…nothing…" I couldn't say it after all.
"Oh…ok." She then left to buy her food. Hopefully, when she comes back and tell me everything, but I doubt that will happen.
So while waiting for her, I sat down on the nearest chair and just stare at the people passing by. "She is so sluggish." I muttered. "What the hell is she buying anyways?"
While cursing her badly, my eyes suddenly set foot to a very familiar couple, Athrun and Lacus. They seem very happy and pleasing to anyone. "Peh! Loverbirds…"
But thinking about them, maybe Cagalli has finally given up on Athrun or…in this kind of situation she is having a time to heal her broken heart…and she is trying to…replace Athrun by hanging out with me! She is using me! I should have known!
I was to take action when I remembered how Athrun acts around Cagalli. Maybe, Athrun is still defiant about Cagalli's feelings…hmm…Maybe I should take some action.
"Shinn?" And in my great happiness, my goddess Lunamaria was the owner of thy great voice.
"What is it Lunamria?" I tried to restrain myself from such beauty in front of me. But the truth is, my heart was pounding rapidly. Maybe she's going to confess to me or something. Oh, how I would love that to happen.
"Have you seen Athrun?" It seems like rocks started to fall to me by her question.
With great dismay, I just pointed Athrun's place and frown in dismay.
"Thanks!" She said. Then, she disappeared from my sight.
Cursed that human being! Cursed that Athrun!
While cursing the blue-haired student, Cagalli has finally arrived. "Hey, still there?" She asked upon seeing me pacing out, while unconsciously gritting my teeth.
"Finally!"
"Sorry, if I'm late." She said sincerely. Is she trying to fool me by her innocent attitude? "By the way, I saw Luna coming here. What is it about?" She asked curiously.
"She asked about Athrun…" I told her in great in an obvious piss off mood.
Her eyes widen in surprise at first, but she immediately washed it off. "I see…" That is all she said.
"I really have no chance at all!"
"Well, I do think she likes you…" She said to comfort me. Well, it did work.
"Really? You are not fooling me?" I confirmed.
She glared at me for a second. "Hmm…Why would she asked you of all the people here if she doesn't feel comfortable with you?"
Her words were promising. Maybe, Luna does like me…but is a little shy to express it!
With plans forming in my head, I immediately grabbed Cagalli's hand in enlightenment. "Cagalli, will you be my girlfriend?" I asked excitedly.
"What?!" She glared at me fiercely.
Cagalli's POV (Flashback…)
I was shock of what I have heard in their conversation. I'm gifted with incredible hearing skills, so I can even hear what the caller was saying. It was all about my best friend Lacus, and it seems like they were just using her. I can't believe this. Athrun was a fake all along. Now, I know! He was indeed a cruel bastard! How could they trick my best friend? HOW?!
Before he could even finish his conversation with his caller, I immediately searched for my best friend and to tell her of Athrun's plan.
Running restlessly at the hallways, panting and was almost out of breath; I don't care as long as I could tell Lacus of Athrun's evil plan.
Upon finally spotting my friend all alone, I immediately come to her side. "Lacus!" I shouted, so she could hear it loud and clear."Cagalli?" her long pink hair was lifted smoothly by the air as she turned to gaze me. "What's wrong? You are so restless…" She said worriedly.
I look at her frantically and grab both her shoulders, as what I have to tell was the most shocking revelation there is. "Lacus, listen to me carefully…" I started.
"I heard Athrun speaking to someone on the phone and I have accidentally heard of their plans." I almost swallowed my throat, for this was the crucial part. "Lacus, Athrun was using you all along to get what they want. He has been fooling you!" I told her the truth about that scumbag.
Her eyes widen in shock. "Cagalli, please don't make things up…" Her voice was fragile as ice. "We all know that when we are angry we commit some delusions of our own…" Is she trying to say that I made these things up?! How blind could she be?!
"Lacus! I know what I have heard!" My brow started to twitch in anger. She was already getting on my last nerves.
"Cagalli, please…I don't want you to be my enemy." Her eyes were shockingly blinded by the truth. She dared threaten me. Is our friendship nothing compared to the relationship she had with Athrun?!
"Am I not enough for you to believe me?" I asked, hoping she would pick me.
"Cagalli, I don't know." She evaded any eye contacts with me.
"Am I not your fiend, Lacus?" I gulped, knowing this was more crucial than the other one. "Lacus…" I held her chin and faced her to mine.
But she just removed it and tears started to flow from her rosy cheek. "Cagalli, I have known of your feelings for me…but…there's no need for you to do such things coz…I can never love you more than a friend" Her eyes were so pure and intimate, yet this deceiving scene shown me the other part of her, cruel…
"Lacus, though I may have an unrequited love, this doesn't mean I should formulate a ruckus to stop your relationship." I said out of annoyance; and hah?
"Cagalli…" She just stared at me sympathetically. How my love for her had changed into anger. She is truly not the lacus I know. This Lacus is weak and blind!
"Don't act friendly towards me when you can't even believe me!" I slap it off her face. (This isn't literal)
"I believe you Cagalli, but in our circumstances; it is hard to believe if what you're saying is true!" She retorted. Who could have known that this perfect woman is more foolish and arrogant than that bastard?
"You are the most sympathetic being I have ever known…" I said sardonically.
"Cagalli, you should sympathize yourself!" This really pissed me off. "You're telling lies because of your selfishness!" Woah! Did she just call me selfish when I am so damn worried about her!
I can no longer take this and slap her on her cheek. May it be printed forever as well! "I am not selfish! You are just blind! I did this because of you and if our friendship is not that strong then be the end of it!"
With that, I run like mad at the halls, crying my heart out.
"I'm sorry…" A shadow of what seems to be the cause, muttered in silenced as he just witness a friendship's downfall.
A/N:
