Chapter 7
Another Saturday another date, Mia invited them to her party. And likewise, Athrun will fetch Cagalli while Kira went with his friends. At her house as Cagalli expected was big, she even had the basketball court in the garden and it was bigger than Athrun's house! At the party, Cagalli talked with Mia, Lacus and Milly in the garden while the guys have their own conversation.
"He is so cute." Lacus said dreamingly, looking at Kira.
Cagalli looked at Kira, he was talking with Athrun, and he held a coke and laughed with the rest of the guys. She found it hard to believe that her twin brother was cute.
"Even I looked at him so many times, it's hard for me finding him cute." Cagalli shrugged.
Mia and Milly chuckled while Lacus replied her, "He is, Cagalli, you are lucky to have him as your brother."
Cagalli agreed with her when she said she was lucky. He cared about her a lot and sometimes to her dismay, he was a bit overprotective.
"Cagalli, how is your progress with Athrun?" Mia asked her with shining eyes, "Seriously I was so surprised when you told me about the bet, but this is so interesting, I can't wait to see who will win, but don't worry he is yours. So tell me did he kiss you?"
Cagalli stared at her blankly and said desperately, "Why people keep asking me the same question? First, Athrun's mother, second Dearka, and next is you."
Mia laughed, "Well, I am curious you know? During our date, he never brought me to his home, but he brought you and even met his mother. It seems Athrun really likes you."
Cagalli sighed, "Don't forget, he doesn't want to lose the bet and no, he didn't kiss me."
When Mia wanted to reply to her, but the sight of Meyrin came to them made her stop. Mia whispered to Cagalli, "Here she comes, your worst enemy."
Cagalli frowned and answered Mia, "Don't mind her."
Milly interrupted them and said quietly, "I think you can't ignore her this time, she's coming our way I'm sure she wants talk with you."
She stood in front of Cagalli and Cagalli asked her coolly, "What do you want?"
Meyrin didn't reply her, instead there was malice in her eyes.
Cagalli was irritated, "Look, I know you hate me and I don't like you too. So if you want to say something, say it now. I don't want to see you standing here watching me as if I am a rare creature or something."
"Bitch," at last she said something. Milly was angry at her sudden outburst, but Cagalli prevented her to say something.
"So I am a bitch? Well, tell me when your birthday is, I will send a mirror for your present so you can look at your own face on it. Maybe after that you will know who is the real bitch is. Oh wait, or should I give you an expensive cosmetic, I am sure it will hide your ugly face." Cagalli attacked her. Meyrin went white and she stood still, she lost her line.
Cagalli continued, "And I wonder, can you speak another word except 'bitch', should I teach you how to speak properly?"
Cagalli could see her fury, but she didn't care, she was really upset with her. Meyrin clenched her fist and she said furiously, "I heard Athrun invited you to his home, is that right?"
Seeing her anger Cagalli smiled mockingly, "Yes he did, oh don't you know his parents are so understanding. They really gave us a lot of time to be alone." Cagalli provoked her.
Speechless, Meyrin retreated from her. Milly, Mia, and Lacus giggled.
"Cagalli, you are so evil." Milly smirked.
She grinned back, "Yeah I know."
Mia continued asking her while she eyed Athrun, "but Cagalli how come you are not jumping on him, he is so sexy. Look at him, he so cute when he is sweating like that."
Cagalli looked at him, he was playing basketball with Kira and other guys. Their eyes met and he smiled. He continued playing and won the game. He wept his sweat with his shirt and looked at Cagalli.
He shouted, "Come on, play with us."
Cagalli shouted him back, "I'm not in the mood to play."
Athrun headed to her, and dragged her away. Mia, Lacus, and Milly eyed them in delight. He put his hand on her shoulder, Cagalli tried to break free, but he was too strong.
"I told you I don't want to play." Cagalli informed him.
"Then don't play, but at least you can watch me. I want you to see me play."
"Show off, is that right?" Cagalli replied her.
Athrun laughed softly, "Yes, it is my intention."
"Sit there, "Athrun ordered her to sit on the bench near the basketball court. Cagalli obeyed him, she sat on the bench and watched him play.
The game was intense, and she admitted that Athrun played really well. She looked at the environment. She realized many people are watching them play. And some of them cheering for Athrun, and most of them are girls. Athrun's group won the game.
Athrun gave Cagalli a victory gesture, and it made some of girls jealous. Cagalli only returned itwith a weak smile. He sat beside her, and Cagalli could smell his scent. The smell of his cologne and his sweat mixed into one.
"How's my game?"
"Not too bad," Cagalli mocked him.
He raised his eyebrow, "Not too bad? Now don't lie my girl." He patted her hands.
Cagalli shoved it away, "Okay, I admit you play pretty well. Happy?"
Athrun chuckled, "That's better."
Kira approached Cagalli, "Hey sis can you get my cellphone? I left it upstairs on the bag."
Cagalli frowned, "Why don't you get it by yourself?"
"Come on Cagalli, I just finished my game, too tired for it."
Cagalli stood up and mumbled, "Lazy brother."
She went inside the house and took Kira's bag. While she descended the stairs, someone pushed her from behind. She felt and her head and slamming onto the floor, she couldn't see the person who pushed her because she fainted.
A familiar voice called her, "Cagalli are you okay?" Cagalli assumed it was Kira's voice.
Hardly, she tried to open her eyes. She felt dizzy, and the room was spinning around.
She saw Athrun kneeling in front of her, he was holding her hand, even in the blur mode, she could see his worried face.
"Is she okay?" She heard Lacus's voice and she saw the rest of her friends standing there.
"She hurt her head badly," Kira replied.
Cagalli murmured, "Someone, pushed me from the stairs."
Kira's face was red with anger, "Someone pushed you? I will find out and make him/her pay."
"Calm down Kira, right now we better bring her to the hospital," Athrun calmed his friend.
Athrun carried her easily, Cagalli rested her head on his chest and she murmured something to him, "Sorry and thank you."
Athrun whispered gently to her, "Don't worry, and try resting for now."
