Chapter 11
"Tell me Cagalli, youre acting really strange today. What happened?" Milly raised her eyebrows waiting for an explanation.
"No-nothing," her reply only made others more suspicious.
"Oh I knew it, its related with Athrun right?" Milly said knowingly.
"No no it has nothing to do with him." She stammered.
Lacus smiled and spoke understandingly, "Cagalli, maybe we don't know you well, but it is our first time we saw you act so nervous and strange. Thats ok if you don't want to tell us, but we are your friends, so if you need help or someone to talk to, don't hesitate finding us." She placed her hands on Cagalli's shoulder while Milly and Mia nodded their heads, agreeing with what Lacus had said.
Cagalli looked up to them and smiled, "Thank you all of you. But its not that I don't want to tell you, but well," she ruffled her hair, "Promise me don't tell this to anyone even to my twin brother."
The three girls nodded their heads.
"I err you know."
"Yeah what is it?" Milly asked impatiently.
"I - I think I'm starting to like him." Cagalli blurted.
Lacus smiled, Mia clasped her hands cheerfully and Milly started to giggle.
"Oh we knew that," Milly informed her.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Oh no Cagalli, but lately your behavior around Athrun has changed. So we assumed that you're starting to like him. And we were sure when you wanted to give him a Valentines chocolate." Lacus talked calmly.
"Speaking of chocolate, did you give it to him?" Mia asked her.
Cagalli looked at them and started to blush, remembering how they almost kissed.
"You are blushing!" Mia sounded amused.
"I am not!" She defended.
"Oh yes you are," Milly teased, "I predict that he kissed you right?"
"He did not! "
"No?" Mia raised her eyebrow.
"Well almost." She admitted.
"Almost? I don't think I understand." Lacus said puzzled.
"Err when we were almost kissing, Dearka came so we jumped apart and acted like nothing has happened." She said shyly.
"That stupid Dearka!" Milly muttered.
"Speak of the devil, here they come." Mia spoke.
The boys walked to the girls table and sat together with them.
"Hey," Kira greeted.
"Hey Milly, miss me?" Dearka said to her and leaned to kiss her cheek.
Milly stiffened and gave him a glare. Dearka confused with Milly's behaviors and started to whine.
"What wrong with people today, first time it was Athrun and now you. Did I do something bad or what?" he said annoyingly.
Milly kept glaring at him while Athrun looked at him and started to speak, "Could you stop whining?"
Dearka was taken back and stopped at once, unknowingly what has happened and what had he done.
The rest of the boys discovered the tensions and they ate in silence. After they finished eating, the boys started to go back to their class. Athrun started to rise from the chair and whispered to Cagalli.
Meet me at schools gate after school.
Cagalli turned her head and looked at him.
Lacus smiled, "I don't know what he said to you, but good luck. Don't worry your little secret is safe with us."
Like what he had said, Cagalli searched for him at the gate. She walked toward him and greeted, "Hey what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to thank you for this." He showed her the chocolate that she gave him, "and I wanted to give you something," He said as he gave her a box.
"What is it?" she took it and started to open the box.
Cagalli's eyes softened when she saw lion doll, "Thank you, but you don't need to give me this."
"Thats ok, so do you like it."
"Yeah it's cute. But how do you know about my favorite animal?"
"I asked Kira, he is your brother, he must know about your favorite."
Cagalli nodded her head, "Yeah he must be, thank you Athrun."
"Glad you like it, and Cagalli…"
"Yeah what's wrong?" Cagalli said looking at him.
Athrun shrugged, "Nothing just forget it."
Athrun drove her home and bid her goodbye and kissed her cheek. Cagalli waved and said thank you to him. Seeing him from afar, she started to smile and touched her cheek.
