Chapter 5
Next morning, Cagalli saw Meer standing near her locker, "Cagalli I wanted to talk with you for a while."
Cagalli sighed, she thought Meer would be angry with her, "What is it?"
"Hey don't put on a bitter face, I didn't come here to have a fight with you. I admit that I am a bit jealous, but it doesn't mean I hate you. " Meer continued and her face relaxed, "Maybe you know that I was Athrun's ex-girlfriend, and when he broke up with me, I was still waiting for him to come back to me, but I guess I was wrong. Yesterday, I could see everything, he said that he only likes me as a friend and nothing more." She smiled to Cagalli, "And you better keep him for you, don't give him to another women. You are lucky, don't you know it?"
Cagalli wanted to bang her head to her locker when she said that. Lucky huh? She shrugged, "I can't say I'm lucky," then she continued with smile from her mouth, "Thanx you are so kind, really different from other Athrun fans."
Meer chuckled, "Well I think I should warn you, better stay away from them, especially Meyrin. She really hates you. She thought that she will be Athrun's next girlfriend, but then you came here and snatched Athrun from her."
" Hey – hey, " Cagalli protested, "I didn't steal him from her!"
"Kidding," she grinned and looked at her watch, "Ok then, see you later, I need to go to my class."
Cagalli smiled and felt comfortable with her kindness, "See ya."
When she opened her locker she could feel someone behind her, and she knew it was Athrun. She stiffened when he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. She shoved his arm but he kept his arm where it was. He leaned to her ear and quietly whispered, "Still friends?" She glanced at him and answered, "It depends." He smiled and then he spoke rather loud, "So how is my girl doing?"
"Fine," she said coolly.
They headed to class, Athrun's arm still around her. Cagalli desperately tried to shove it away, but it was in vain. People eyes went to them, almost all girls stared at her with jealously and Meyrin among them. She glared at Cagalli with fire in her eyes. Cagalli disgusted with her so she placed her arm around Athrun's waist and smiled pleasantly to her.
Athrun glanced at her, he was a bit surprised. He saw the direction where she was looking and gave her the understanding smile, "You hate her, is that it?"
She growled, "I am, she is horrible, you can see it from the look on her face, reminds me of Cruella from 101 Dalmatians movie."
He chuckled and grinned, "Well I don't care for her, I have you as my girl, no?"
Cagalli glanced at him then elbowed him and he laughed.
"Here, this is my class, see you later, " she said with toneless voice.
When she went inside, Milly and Lacus dragged her to her seat and questioned her.
"How is your date?" Milly's eyes flickering.
"How did you know about that?" Cagalli asked.
"Kira told us," now it was Lacus who spoke.
"Come on tell me what had happened from the party until your date." Milly demanded an answer.
Cagalli sighed in defeat, she told them about what had happened, from the Heine incident until the date with Meer's involvement. Milly and Lacus put their hand to their mouth, preventing from a loud laugh.
"You threw what? Shoe? Oh God, I can't believe it." Milly laughed.
"Oh, at that time I wanted to kill both of them, I wished I could throw a garbage can at their face." Cagalli was annoyed as she remembered that scene.
"Well at least he apologized to you, as far as I know he's never done that." Lacus laughed and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"He is and I really can't understand him, argh just forget about it!"
------
The following days went like usual, Athrun acted as a real boyfriend, Cagalli felt annoyed at that but she got used to it. What had troubled her was that Dearka renewed the bet, he informed them that at least they must have a date once in a while, Cagalli accepted the terms unwillingly. Athrun asked her again for a date this weekend, Cagalli had no choice but to accept.
During lunch Dearka asked her, "So Cagalli, tomorrow you have the date again with Athrun?" It was a statement not a question, she thought dryly.
She nodded her head mutely, Dearka frowned and asked, "Hey are you still angry with me?"
"Why should I?" she replied coldly as she sipped her drink.
"Because the bet's renewal?"
Cagalli put the glass down mildly and stared at him, he cleared his throat and said, "Hey don't get angry because of that, if you locked yourself everyday at home how will you two get close."
Cagalli growled, "I know I know, and I accepted the term right?"
Athrun held her hand and covered with his, "Easy girl, don't let him anger you."
Cagalli glanced, she stepped on Athrun's foot. She could see he winced a little, but he still held her hand, "I am not angry, just a bit upset."
Kira teased, "What a lovely dovey couple we got here!"
Cagalli sent him a deadly glare, "Say another word and you are dead!" Kira laughed nervously while Athrun smiled, "Kira, how come your scared of your sister?"
He replied, "Mind you, she is scary."
Milly then chuckled remembering the coffee incident, "Well Cagalli, you're not putting something again in his drink now?"
"Don't tempt me please," Cagalli said.
"Poor Sir Andy, he was the victim of your scheme." Athrun gave a short laughter and the rest of them laughed while Cagalli frowned remembering her one-hour detention.
Yzak looked at his watch, "Hey guys we need to go to class now." They agreed and went to their classes.
When Cagalli wrote the notes from the board, Milly whispered to her and gave her a piece of paper. She read that,
Hey do you need help for your dress tomorrow, I can choose one for you.
Cagalli stared at her then wrote an answer,
No need, I will wear my usual dress, shirt and pants.
Milly replied,
Hey shirt and pants are you kidding me? Try something nice like a skirt or something, I bet that Athrun will like it, I could sense that he will like you sooner or later. And I hope you two have become a real couple, Athrun needs someone like you.
"What!" Cagalli stood up abruptly, the rest of the class and teacher jerked and eying her strangely.
"So Cagalli what's wrong, do you have a question?" The teacher asked her.
"I-I err no, sorry." She spoke nervously.
"Then please sit down."
Cagalli sat down and whispered to Milly who sat beside her, "What do you mean? We will not become a real couple that is the bet! Okay!"
Milly shrugged, "You will not know about what will happen."
