Chapter 6 – The Mixed Salad Part One
Note: during the weekend the students can stay in their own houses or stay in the school.
"Lacus!" Athrun knew that his fiancée, Lacus is always here in the music room since it is the only place where she can practice her song and her piano skills.
"Athrun" lacus replied. She stood up and walked towards Athrun. Haro, the noisy robot followed behind her.
"Um…I'm sure you got the invitation, right?" he asked her. He acted rather nervous and he always blushing whenever he saw Lacus around.
"Yes. I'm going to perform as well. I heard that your father had won the election." Lacus continued and caught the jumping Haro on her hand.
"Ah, that. I might give him a call. Um…about the ball thing, will you be my partner for the dance?" Athrun asked nervously again. In his head, he already knew what she might say, either a yes or a no.
"I was thinking of bringing Kira along. I hope you don't mind" Lacus explained and hoped that everything is going just fine.
"So how about the last dance?" Athrun insisted. He knew this might happen. Since Kira moved to this school, they'd been together all the time. Athrun knew that his relationship with Lacus is only because of political pressure, their fathers are like good friends but still, Athrun likes her because Lacus is Lacus.
"Alright. That's fine with me." Lacus answered.
Outside the room, there's a girl's voice calling for Athrun. "Mia?" he thought. Athrun jumped in surprise and sweat is all over his body.
"I better get going before she finds me." Athrun left the room immediately and left Lacus all by herself in the room.
The expression on Lacus face somewhat changed to a sadder one. She knew that Athrun likes her very much and so does she but she only thought that they are merely best friend. How can she ever have a chance of expressing her feeling without him getting hurt?
"A ball?" At first Cagalli thought that Kira meant the bouncy thing but then she knew what he's on about. She never knew that Kira is a kind of person who actually loved those kinds of events. No, she got it wrong, again.
"Lacus invited me. She said that it's gonna be on Saturday night." Kira explained rather nervously. He wasn't sure if it's appropriate to talk about it with someone who he just met a few days ago.
"So, what's the problem?" Cagalli asked him confusingly. He looks normal.
"It's like…you know…, I'm not that…um…really not sure about this…I'm not used to this kind of stuff." Kira finally let it out.
"I'm sure you gonna be alright. Just be yourself. I mean, it's not like I attend heaps of them before. Just be positive." Cagalli advised him. "Oh maybe you want to meet with this person, Mana – san. She's a great helper. I might give her a call, if you want."
"Arigato" Kira smiled at her.
Cagalli looked at him. He smiled at her? It's not like it's a big deal. Okay, here's the thing. He smiled at most of the times but somehow this one is different. Cagalli's heart beats faster and red blushes appeared on her rosy cheek.
"I'm…I'm just happy to help" Cagalli replied nervously.
