In the Apartment

"I really wanted to tell you how I feel but… but I'm too shy…still…even if a have this chance to say that I like you, you like someone else and it's still pointless."

As I walked straight in the aisle going back home to my apartment, tears in my eyes continuously fall. Sad to say I didn't recognize it. My chest is crumbling in pain…jealousy…envy…? I thought of a million times to forget about my 'dumb retched feelings'. I tried, I was doing it perfectly. Everything runs smoothly but as soon as he is always there. "Darn! I hate it!" I must avoid…

I returned to my apartment. My body and clothes are both wet so I decided to have a shower. After a few minutes I put my new clothes on and sat beside my sofa and lied down. I forgot to check the telephone if there were voice calls when I was gone. Yes there is a recent voice call, the phone signaled a red spot. I clicked the button…

"Ei! Cagalli, are you there?... I called you on your phone a while ago but you're not answering it.

Ummm… OK, the reason why I called is that you have forgotten your notebooks inside my bag. I'll be going there ok? wait for me… Bye, take care!" he said then cut the line

I stared at the windowsill. "He's coming" I thought while I looked at the dark gray sky outside; the rain is still pouring but heavier than earlier. "Nope he's not…coming…with this condition…"

Someone knocked at the door. I peep through the door hole and I saw him outside. I vaguely smiled… he's here. He was waiting for me to open the door; I was standing in front and hesitated to open it. I remembered what happened a few hours back then down the streets at the corner of the school gates. I take a deep breath and gave a deep sigh.

"Cagalli...?" he knocked again at my door

He thought I'm not there, so he started to walk away… "No!"…I immediately opened the door. He was shocked seeing me; he turned back and smiled…

"I thought you're not at home yet" he smiled gently then leans on my forehead

"…are you ok...your pale…"

/"there he goes again…"/

"Yes I am alright!" I frowned at him

"I think… you have…a fever."

"No way! Darn it! Stop staring! Get away!"

I turned my face away him, blushing once again.

"I don't have fever"

I let him sit on the sofa. I made him a tea; he likes tea. I twist my head to see him; he was silently sitting on the couch.

"I better get you some tea…"

"No Thanks Cagalli, you don't have to mind. I will be here just a couple of minutes to give you these."

He opened his bag and gave me the notebooks and my list of reports.

"Here you go!" he said

"next time don't ever leave without your things…" he smiled

"'coz you will really be in great trouble if you left it somewhere else…"

"Ya, right!" I frowned at him again

After a couple of minutes-

"Are you going somewhere else today?" I asked

"not really, I'll just meet up with Lacus in the restaurant." He gleefully answered

"OH, it means you have a date with your girlfriend…today…."

"It wasn't really a date…ok…sort of"

I took a sudden gulped in my seat.

"Well you better get going now."

I smiled but I was again faking with him.

"But I guess she's not there yet…and our scheduled time is 7:00 pm, it's still early…" he said

Sudden Silence...

"it is not pleasing to keep a girl waiting..." I'm irritated

silence again...

He bowed down...he stood up from the sofa, and clutched his bag to his shoulders.

"ok..so, a have to go now…I don't want her to wait if she's the one first to go there."

I showed him to the door

"Yes. Bye…" I waved my hand outside my room apartment and then closed the door.

"take care... "

After a while I heard someone knocking again. It was him. He returned to give me something.

"arthrun?"

"take this" he handed a tablet to me

"what is this?" I asked

"medicine…"

"for what?"

"in case you'll have a fever." Then he walked away silently into the corridors of the apartment.

I wanted to call his name out and ask him if he will be back later, 'coz I'm feeling very lonely… starting to get sick…

here…alone again inside my room.

I closed the door and run to the mirror and look at myself. I am pale, he was right. I check myself, my body was hot. I remembered about the tablet he gave me in case I'll have a fever. I took it and it taste like sweet strawberry candy . He always knew what I like.

After it I went to my bed, and take a rest.
