Cagalli was lost for yet another time in a day. She had been circling the same place for two times and she has no idea where to head to. She tried to get to the main hall and then started her way back to the dorm but to no avail, she just can't find her way back. She went back to the library and entered. She is going to ask for another map if they have one but the librarian was nowhere to be seen.
I might as well grab a book and
read while waiting for the librarian to return
Cagalli walked around the spacious library and sat at the end corner grabbing a book and read. Not after a few pages, she felt her eyes drooping and eventually fall asleep on the floor thinking that the librarian won't leave so soon. Unfortunately her worst nightmare came true, the librarian was getting ready to leave unaware that Cagalli was still inside the library.
Athrun was busy getting his homework done and trying his best to ignore the calling of Mia outside his dorm. It's been half an hour and that girl still haven't give up and he groaned in annoyance. He 's flipping his homework to make sure he had finish all the questions and he put his book aside. He took out his laptop and begin to message Kira who was now busy doing his project with Lacus.
Kira being a computer freak always brings his laptop around and will never leave it behind except when he was taking his bath and sleeping. He chuckled slightly but silently avoiding any sound from being heard by Mia. He begin to check his online list but sighed when Kira is not on.
Probably busy with Lacus
He checked again and saw Miriallia is on the online list and he grinned evilly. He clicked on her name and started to message her but stopped when he knew that he message her as Athrun, Dearka will get to know. He logged off and reentered as an anonymous and message her.
Miss Miriallia,
I have something important to tell
you. It's about your boyfriend Dearka Elsman. I heard him talking
bad things behind your back and you being such a sweet girl, I
couldn't let him get away with this. SO here am I informing you about
this.
Make sure you slap him on the cheek
HARD!
A helpful person.
His evil smile has not faltered from his face and he click the send button. He waited for awhile and on the online list, Miriallia's name was no longer there. She punched his fist up in the air as the sign of victory.
That was for writing nonsense inside
the book Dearka!
His outer appearance of being confused always get bullied by Dearka most of the time but he never had the perfect chance to pay him back and now he did. He knew Miriallia means a lot to him but couldn't help to grumbled about her over controlling mode and Miriallia wouldn't even let Dearka go easily. Dearka being such a sweet talker, it wouldn't be a problem.
This argument should probably take a
week time.
No longer heard the sound of Mia, he opened the door slightly and Mia was no where insight. He went back to his room and grabbed his book and noticed a map inside. He took it out and noticed that the map is all crumpled and he knew exactly who does this map belongs to.
Hmm! She must have dropped it when I
dragged her and I took it accidentally.
He took all his books and rushed to the library before it closes. By the time he reached there, the librarian Madam Rosetta is already closing the door. He picked up his legs fast and called out to her.
"Madam Rosetta! Wait!"
The librarian turned to his direction and blushes slightly giving him a smile.
"Mister Zala! What are you doing her in this time? You know the library closes at 6."
"I know but I really needed to hand this books back and borrowed few more books."
The librarian seems hesitate to opened the library for him. Knowing Athrun Zala well enough, she knew he will be hanging there more like an hour to find his books. Athrun who of course know what she was thinking quickly piped up.
" Will you give me the key? I will put my name in the returned and borrowed list. I promised I will lock the door and make sure everything is in order. Next morning, I will be here before 8.30 to give you the key." saying all at once in one breath.
The librarian think about his idea and finally agree. She handed the key to him and reminded him all the things he needed to do. Athrun quickly agreed.
"Thank you Madam Rosetta."
"You are welcome dear." and she walked away.
He opened the lock and entered the library. He put the books he had borrowed aside and quickly went to search for another book he wanted to read for his past time. He went to shelves and shelves, his eyes glancing through the shelves. He did not noticed a figure on the floor, sleeping and ran into it causing both of them toppled to the ground. The figure yelped so loud that Athrun had to closed his ears with both hands and with that action of his, he fell on top of the figure, face inches with the figure.
Cagalli opened her eyes slightly wincing a little at the weight on top of her. When she opened her eyes, she went berserker and kicked off whoever on top of her and quickly stand up from the floor. Athrun on the other hand rubbing his leg that was just kicked. He looked up and he instantly paled. He gulped.
I am so dead
"I am so sorry. I was concentrating on the books that I didn't see you there."
"OH YEA! LIKE I AM SOME KIND OF AMOEBA THAT YOU CAN"T SEE ME THERE!"
"NO! NO!"
Athrun know he wouldn't win her over with just bickering so he decided to use his brain to win her for this once. He was really not in the mood to do so and he was still worried that Mia would take another stroll to the library to look for him.
It's not Mia know when the library closes
"NO WHAT!"
"Well you see miss. You are lucky to meet me here and that I ran into you because if I didn't, you will be trapped in this library the whole night until the next morning." he smirked slightly.
Cagalli expression seems to change a little. She was not sure whether he is telling the truth or just another trick to avoid the wrath of her screaming and yelling at him. Athrun was smarter and knew she wouldn't believe him so easily.
"Well if you don't believe me. Here's the key to the library and no one will be here except me and you. Madam Rosetta has left few minutes ago." he wriggled the key at her.
Cagalli looked at the counter and other places as well. It seems like he is right. The library is empty except the two of them. She felt so embarrassed and muttered a soft sorry to him. Athrun smirked a little and decided to play a trick on her.
"You are saying something?" hiding his smirk away.
Cagalli could feel the heat rises up to her cheeks. A part of her wanted to smack this green eyed alien but another part of of her knew that he most probably couldn't hear her apologies since she had said it so softly.
"I-I said I'm sorry." a little louder this time, her head bowed not looking at him but after sometime theres no response from him.
She turned and saw the guy was no where insight but lurking around the corner searching for books. Cagalli anger was getting higher and higher at his attitude of ignoring her apology. Athrun smiled behind the book. He got her.
Cagalli went forward towards him with her hands getting ready for another slapping to be done but Athrun was too quick for her. He spun around and smiled at her showing two of his books in his hand.
"Now this is real good book. I have been searching for them earlier."
Cagalli wanted to snap back at him but he already went another way round towards the counter. She being as stubborn as she can is not going to give up about her undone apology not knowing that Athurn was just playing a trick on her.
"Hey! Wait up!" she called out to him.
Athrun was now busy searching the stack of lists to write his name down but still he couldn't find it anywhere. Who knew that being a librarian needed to find files belongs to the students other than keeping them quiet in the library and taking care of book? Athrun swore that he saw Madam Rosetta took his stack of list from that drawer but he can't find it.
Hmm. Where could that lists go? It's dinner time soon
"Try searching the alphabets according to your name. That might help you." a voice piped in behind him. He turned andsaw no other than the blond herself.
"Oh Right! Thanks!"
As he continue to search for the lists, he suddenly remembered about the map. He took it out form the book and handed it to her.
"You can go now. I'm sorry.It's dinner time now and you can go to the cafeteria at the ground floor."
Cagalli took her map with gratitude.
"Thanks! You sure you don't need any help?"
"Nah! I can fix this." still busy searching for the lists.
Cagalli nodded her head and started to go but stopped.
"I'm sorry."
Athrun smiled a little and continue his search. Then something caught his eye at the table near his books. It's the list. He grinned and grab it causing the books to fell down on to the floor. Athrun who was too happy to noticed tripped on it falling on top of Cagalli. He grabbed her and turned around so that she won't get hurt and him landed on the floor instead.
Cagalli yelped and her hands quickly find something to grab and when she noticed there's noting to grab, she grab Athrun instead. She closes her eyes waiting for the contact with the hard and cold concrete but she get intouch with a warm substance.
She opened her eyes slowly and saw the face of the green eyed alien and for once felt grateful towards him but all that changes in just a second when she felt something on her chest. She stand up slightly and saw a pair of hands there that belong to green eye alien.
Athrun seems to have noticed too and quickly took his hand off, his face brick red. Cagalli with a red face both with embarrassment and anger slapped Athrun real HARD on both side of his face.
"PERVERT!" and she stormed away leaving the red face Athrun lying on the floor, whom never had a chance to explain.
"IT'S AN ACCIDENT!" he called out to her but he knew it was useless. She was way too far to hear it.
Athrun sighed as he lay down on the cold concrete floor and banged the stack of lists on his face.
What makes me think that this will actually turn out right?
Author's Note:
Oookay! This chapter is slightly longer and all of you must wonder why does he always get slapped. Well all I can answer is It's their first day and all Cagalli can do for now is slapping. I will do some other than slapping movement some other chapters.
And I won't be updating it everyday because school going to start soon which is two days more. Exams and homeworks are bout to giving me a hard time so please be patient.
Thanks for reviewing!
P/S: To Loving Arrow!
Shiho appeared both in Gundam Seed and Destiny but she's not really important. In Seed, I saw her appear once but only the back of her. In Destiny, theres more of her but I don't think she ever talk. LOL and Mia She's in Destiny. Spoiler! She pretend to be Lacus!
