"I'm in love with Lacus Clyne." He said in a low voice. He turned away from Fllay. He expected comments from her. He quickly turned around, wishing that she wouldn't say anything bad about Lacus.
"Kira," she started in a low and eerie voice. The sound of her voice intimidated Kira. She placed a hand on Kira's shoulder. "Kira, you know what?" She leaned her forehead against his back as she closed her eyes. Kira got surprised at this.
"What are you doing, Fllay?"
Phase 12: Troubled Hearts
Fllay smiled, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Kira was getting uneasy. "Um... Fllay... Don't tell you're..." He stuttered. Fllay placed her lips near his ear. She whispered something to Kira that gave him quite a surprise. "What did you just say?!"
Fllay lightly laughed. Gently, she pushed Kira away. "I scared you, didn't I?"
Kira sighed in relief. He turned to the red-haired girl and weakly smiled. "Fllay, I appreciate your concern but..." He scratched his head. "I don't want to trouble you."
Fllay shook her head. "If you're going to refuse my offer, I swear I'm going to blackmail you." She showed him a fist.
"But Fllay... Lacus is..."
"No buts!"
"Fllay..." He sighed. "I hope things go well for the both of us."
Tennis Court
Stellar was busy warming up for her practice match with her teammate. As she was doing stretching exercise, she saw Lunamaria sitting on a bench near her. She quickly went to her and greeted her with a smile. But Lunamaria gave her a frown, as her eyes glared straightly at her.
"Um... What's the matter?" Stellar innocently asked.
"Hmph... So, Asuka is really you're boyfriend, huh?" Lunamaria hissed, as she crossed her arms.
Stellar nodded her head.
"Of all the boys in school, why did it have to be him? He's the worst guy in school."
"That's not true. Shinn is really nice and kind."
"Oh really... I don't see him acting so tenderly to others."
"Well... Shinn is not really a friendly person, but he's awfully nice to me."
"And to that Hibiki girl too..." Lunamaria sounded pissed.
"Hawke-san, are you mad at Shinn?"
"No, I'm not!" Luna suddenly blurted out. She bolted out of her seat, as she clenched her fists. "I'm mad at you!" She pointed a finger in front of Stellar's face.
Stellar was puzzled. "And why is that?"
"Because I'm... I'm in love with him..." Luna said with hesitation.
Stellar's eyes grew wide after hearing that. "Hawke-san, I didn't know."
"Now you know," said Luna. She turned her back at her. "I'm going to take Shinn from you..." Instantly, she ran off.
Stellar dropped to her knees and stared blankly at the ground. What should I do? I can't let her take Shinn away from me. Shinn means a lot to me. I love him so much. She began trembling in fear. "Shinn," murmured Stellar.
Clinic
The nurse was busy attending to a blonde guy who got wounded from baseball practice. He got hit on the head by a bat. As the nurse prepared the bandages, he turned to his best friend who was seated right beside him.
"I can't believe you threw that bat away so carelessly." Dearka murmured.
"Hmph, you're the careless one. It was so obvious that the bat was going to hit you, but you didn't evade it." Yzak retorted.
"Hey, I'm the one who got hurt here!"
"Well, it's not my fault why you're hurt!"
In a flash, both of their mouths were sealed with tapes. The nurse grabbed their hands and forced them to shake hands. "Instead of fighting, why don't you two kiss and make up?" She had an aggravated smile on her face.
Yzak removed the tape from his mouth. He glared at the nurse furiously. "You should stay out of other people's business!" He yelled.
"My, my... You're so rude, Yzak Joule." The nurse replied calmly.
Yzak rolled his eyes away from the nurse and faced Dearka again. "We'll talk later!" He quickly stomped out of the clinic.
Dearka sighed, as he removed the tape from his mouth. "He's such a hothead. He kind of reminds me of Cagalli." He turned at the nurse with an apologetic face. "I'm really sorry about Yzak."
"I understand."
Once outside, Yzak encountered Miriallia. He immediately hauled her into a corner, as he greeted her. "Hey there, Hawe... Dearka has been looking for you."
"Oh really?" replied Miriallia. "Where is he right now?"
Yzak gladly pointed at the clinic. "He's in there, because he got hurt during baseball practice." He smiled wickedly. "He's hurt pretty badly." He told her that because he knew that it will upset her.
"Oh no... Dearka..." She muttered. She ran to the clinic. As she entered, she saw Dearka sitting on a bed, while holding the wounded part of his head. "Dearka, are you all right?" She asked, looking worried.
Dearka blushed at the sight of her. He lowered his head, as he smiled. "Yes, I'm fine."
"Are you sure? Yzak told me that you were hurt pretty badly."
Dearka raised one eyebrow at her. "Yzak told you what? I can't believe him." He started mumbling some curses about him.
Miriallia held his hand. "You know... You should be careful when you're playing." She said in a soft voice. She looked at Dearka with her kind eyes that made his heart melt.
All of the sudden, Dearka's fury over Yzak faded away. Thanks to him, I got the chance to be with her like this.
Standing near the door of the clinic was Yzak. He was presently spying on the two. I have to admit, those two make a good couple.
Park
Cagalli sat under a big tree in the park. She sat there with a frown on her face. She kept thinking about Shinn and Stellar. Somehow, she felt awful seeing them together. Why? Am I in love with Shinn? Her eyes grew wide, as she shook her head. No, that can't be. I can't be in love with my best friend.
"Cagalli, are you all right?"
At once, Cagalli looked up at the person. "Athrun, what are you doing here?" She asked the blue-haired guy who just sat down beside her. "Don't you have soccer practice today?" She continued.
Athrun leaned his back against the tree, as he stretched out his arms. He turned to the blonde and nodded his head. "Yeah, but I decided to skip it."
"You shouldn't do that."
"Don't worry, I won't do this again."
"That's good to hear."
"Um... Cagalli... about that time..." Athrun started slowly. "When you suddenly ran off..."
"What about it?"
"I saw the tears in your eyes. Why were you crying?"
Cagalli froze in silence. She swiftly turned her head away, because she didn't want to answer his question.
"Please answer me..."
"I'm sorry but I can't tell you."
"Why is that?"
"It's too personal."
"But I thought we were friends and friends shouldn't keep secrets from one another."
At that moment, Cagalli realized that she was upsetting Athrun. She turned back at him. "I'm so sorry." In an instant, she hugged him as tears descended from her golden-brown eyes.
Athrun, without hesitation, hugged her back. "Cagalli..." He whispered into her ear. He brushed through her golden locks. "Seeing you cry like this... makes my heart scream in pain. I don't want to see you looking so sad." He carefully pushed her away to face her. He wiped away the tears in her eyes using his thumb. "Please remember that I'm always here for you. I'm always ready to help you." He smiled at her
"Athrun," said Cagalli. "Thank you." She smiled back at him.
He placed his hand on her cheek, making her blush. Slowly, he leaned forward and placed a kiss on her temple. Of course, she was shocked. She pulled herself away from him, as she held her forehead. "What the hell were you doing?!" She asked him, sounding a little pissed.
Athrun chuckled at her reaction. "Isn't it obvious? I'm trying to cheer you up."
"Well, if that's the case... Well... Um..." She stuttered.
"So, are you ready to tell me about your problem?" Athrun turned serious.
"I don't know how to say this, but I think I'm..." Cagalli started.
