Chapter 32: Truthful Moment
When Athrun had shut his locker he was immediately greeted by Cagalli's sullen face.
"What's up," he said.
"Are you about to go home?" she didn't meet his gaze.
"I'm actually staying a bit to work on a project."
Cagalli sighed.
"Is something the matter?" Athrun asked.
Cagalli bit her lower lip and shook her head. She then proceeded to turn around and make her leave, but, instead, she stood still, her back to him. Her shoulders slumped as she heaved another sigh.
"Actually," she faced him, "there is something that is bothering me...maybe not bothering me, but it will probably be a pain if I don't say it."
Athrun leaned against the lockers, arms folded. He carried a curious yet serious expression that caused Cagalli to blush.
"I...um…" her arms started swinging back and forth, and her gaze darted everywhere. Athrun eventually raised a brow to her. Cagalli felt her temperature rise.
Athrun propped himself off of the lockers. "Cagalli, I really should get going."
"No, wait!"
The hall suddenly seemed so quiet.
"I need you to know something," she said.
"What?"
Cagalli swore she could hear herself gulp. Her heart raced and her hands felt moist. Before she knew it, she word vomited.
In a flurry, she said: "I like you. I really really like you— attracted to you and I have been for a long time." Her mouth clamped shut.
They both stared at each other with shock written on their faces. No one said a thing. When one of them finally took a step forward, the other had run away.
Told you I was back uploading. Hang with me!
