Chapter 9
Cagalli hummed to herself in the bathroom, Athrun was waiting for her at the school's gate. She was getting used to having Athrun around her. She didn't deny she liked his company, but nothing more, she convinced herself.
When she was about to come out from the stall, she heard the door open. She recognized the voice, one of them was Mia and the other she suspected was Mia's friend, the one who called her a bitch at her locker. The girl who had short and dark hair.
"Tell me, was it you who pushed Cagalli from the stairs?" Mia asked her friend.
"I did not!"
"Don't lie to me Samantha. I saw you following Cagalli into the house." Mia spoke angrily," Admit it and apologize to her."
Samantha glared at her, "Okay, it was me who pushed her so what? I hate her, I don't know what has gotten into your mind. You befriend with her? Are you crazy?"
"You… why do you hate her so much, she's done nothing wrong!"
"I just can't believe that Athrun is actually going out with her," Samantha exclaimed, "She is ugly and there's nothing special about her. And you know what? You think I like you, Mia? No, it isn't, I hate you. I hung around with you because I wanted to get close with Athrun. And I hate that ugly bitch even more than you."
Mia looked at her disgustingly, "You are a crazy girl, and you are obsessed with Athrun. And Cagalli is not ugly."
Okay that's it, I couldn't stand it any longer. That girl not only pushed me, but also calling me a bitch and ugly. "Hey," Cagalli opened the stall.
"Cagalli," Mia spoke surprised that Cagalli heard the conversation.
"Thank you Mia for defending me, "Cagalli said to Mia, smiling.
"And you, Samantha right?" Cagalli turned to face her, "I wanted to give you something."
With the smiling face Cagalli came to her and slapped her right cheek hard. Samantha's eyes widened and Mia stared disbelievingly.
"That's what you get for pushing me from the stairs. Thank God I didn't punch you on the face" Cagalli went to the door and said to Mia, "Later Mia."
"Bye Cagalli," Mia waved and chuckled.
Cagalli walked along the corridor trying to calm herself, she saw Athrun coming to her.
"Hey," Athrun waved to her, "I waited for you at the gate, but you didn't come so I came looking for you."
"Athrun," She replied.
"What's wrong Cagalli?" He studied her face, "You look like you want to kill someone."
"It's none of your business."
"Come on, tell me."
"You really want to know?" She raised her eyebrow.
"Yeah, I want to know," he replied and nodded his head.
"The girl, named Samantha, called me an ugly bitch," she yelled at him, "and she's the one who pushed me from the stairs."
"She did that?" Athrun looked stunned.
"Yeah, she did, but leave her, I already slapped –"Athrun cut her off with grabbing her hand.
"Where is she now?" he looked at her, he was definitely angry.
Cagalli tried to break her free, "Just leave it Athrun."
"Tell me, where is she?" she sighed in defeat, it was an order not a question, "She is in the girl's bathroom."
Athrun dragged her to the place, they saw Mia heading toward them, Cagalli smiled at her weakly and Athrun ignored her. Mia stared wonderingly and followed them
Samantha just came out from the bathroom as she was rubbing her red cheek with her handkerchief.
"Hello Athrun," Samantha smiled charmingly.
"What did you do to Cagalli?" Athrun yelled at her.
"Calm down Athrun," Mia saw Athrun's rage and was trying to calm him down.
"I didn't do anything," she lied and Cagalli could see the fear in her eyes.
"Don't lie to me!" Athrun snapped, "You pushed her from the stairs, didn't you. Admit it!"
Samantha looked at him in fear, her voice trembling, "Ye-yes I did."
"Now apologize to her."
Samantha apologized, "I'm sorry Cagalli."
Cagalli knew she didn't say that from her heart, but she didn't want to make any more fuss, "That's ok, I already slapped you on the face so we're even."
"Do that again and I will make sure you will regret it." Athrun glared at her.
He grabbed Cagalli's hand again and dragged her.
"Athrun let me go!" Cagalli yelled, "Calm down can't you?"
Athrun calmed down a little and released her hand.
"You don't need to make her scared like that you know," Cagalli said trying to enlighten the situation.
"She deserves it."
"She does, but don't worry and I told you, I already slapped her face."
Athrun looked at her blankly and grinned, "I guess you slapped her hard. The red mark shows it all."
Cagalli sighed in relief that Athrun was back into his original mood again. She stared at him, "Anyway thank you."
Athrun smirked charmingly, "Your welcome, that's what a boyfriend is for."
Cagalli sneered, that stupid smirk again. She shrugged and smiled, at least he wasn't that bad.
