Dark clouds started to gather and an unexpected heavy downpour of rain followed. It's as if the sky itself was crying and sympathizing with a certain girl. Her blond hair was dripping wet; her golden eyes were full of different kinds of emotions, love, hatred, anger.
"I hate this." She muttered to herself.
"Cagalli!" called a very familiar voice from behind.
Even without turning around, she already knew who the owner of the voice was. A voice she yearned to hear for so long. And yet…
"Cagalli… please just listen to me…"
"What's there to hear? Don't tell me you're going to apologize? 'Cause I'll really laugh if you do. " she said sarcastically.
"I waited for you Cagalli… for so long I waited and up until now, I'm still waiting. Please believe me…" Athrun said, his voice almost pleading.
"Somehow, I find that hard to believe… since you've gotten yourself a fiancée."
"This whole engagement thing was the idea of my father, I had no choice but to accept it."
She turned around to look at him and said, "I'm really disappointed… you had no choice? You can't even oppose your father for the sake of our relationship. Is that the depth of your love for me?" then the tears she's been holding just fell from her eyes, "Did you even truly love me?"
"Oh Cagalli…"
When he reached for her, she pushed him.
She looked at him with eyes full of hatred and said firmly, "I hate you."
Then she ran and left him. He called her name but she ignored it. She just continued to run and run, hoping that the rain will wash even just a little bit of pain in her heart. She hated Athrun for not telling her the truth but she hated herself even more because she can't find the courage to believe in him.
Then suddenly, somebody just grabbed her hand.
"I finally found you."
She turned and saw a very familiar face, "Kira…"
He looked at her with those purple eyes and he seemed to understand the situation immediately.
"It's my fault! I'm sorry I should've told you about Athrun earlier." He said bowing down his head, "It's really inconsiderate of me."
"Whatever… I don't really care about it anymore… just… just leave me alone."
"I can't do that!" and all of a sudden, he just hugged her, "Won't you at least let your little brother comfort you?"
She was surprised at first but then she decided to take his offer and burrowed her head on his shoulder, "Stupid Kira…"
And there, she cried like there was no tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Yzak, who is still irritated because of her meeting with the brown-haired girl, was currently walking back to his classroom.
"That stupid girl, I hope I won't see that stupid face of hers again." He thought and sighed, "I wonder if Nicol already told Athrun and Kira about what we saw this morning, well I hope he did."
As he continued to walk, he saw Nicol standing in front of a classroom talking with a girl with dark-pink pigtails.
"Seriously, that Nicol…"
Meyrin can't contain her happiness. She just finished her lunch together with Nicol, although she was really conscious the whole time because there were a lot of people staring at them, nonetheless she was really happy. It's like her own heart was fluttering inside her.
"Thank you for eating with me and for walking me back here." She said shyly.
"It was my pleasure." Nicol said, smiling at her.
At that moment she just felt her heart skipped a beat, "Oh Nicol, I love you."
"Hey Nicol!" called someone.
They turned around and saw a silver haired guy approaching them. If she was not mistaken, it was Crescent Star's drummer Yzak Jule.
"I can't believe you, flirting around with girls." Yzak said.
"Flirting? Is Nicol really flirting with me?" just the thought of it made her blush.
"Hey now, I'm not flirting with her. She's Luna's younger sister." Nicol said defensively.
"Really? So you're Luna's sister." Yzak said looking at her, "Sorry for what I just said. I'm Yzak by the way."
"It's alright. I'm Meyrin." She said introducing herself, "Although I'm a little disappointed that Nicol's not really flirting with me."
"We'll go back to our class now." Nicol said, "See you again Meyrin." Then he pulled Yzak along. And the both guys left.
"Wow. I can't believe I finally talked to Nicol. It's like a dream come true." She thought dreamily.
Then she saw Auel, he was just about to leave their classroom. She immediately went near him and told him about Nicol, completely forgetting the fact that they just had a fight.
"Auel! Guess what? I just ate lunch with Nicol. It was so amazing!" She said, happily.
"Good for you." he said.
"Hey. What kind of reaction was that? Aren't you happy for me?"
He looked at her, his blue-green eyes full of anger. "Shut up." He said and started to walk away from her.
For a second, she felt scared because of his gaze. That was the first time he saw him with that kind of expression.
"What's wrong with him? And where is he going? Class is about to start. Geez…"
Auel was so pissed he doesn't know what to do anymore.
"Darn. I just showed her a scary expression." Then he remembered the way she smiled at that guy, "It's her fault for smiling like that in front of that Nicol guy."
He continued to walk abruptly and when he was about to turn he suddenly bumped into something really hard, making him fall straight to his butt.
"That hurts… did I just bump a statue?" he thought.
When he looked up to see who he bumped into, instead of seeing a statue he saw a girl probably the same age as him. She has short golden hair and a pair of rosy-pink eyes.
"Are you alright?" she asked lending her hand to help him stand up.
He accepted her help and stood up, "Well, yeah… I guess."
"What happened, Stellar?" asked the boy who was walking behind the girl. He has black hair and a pair of strong red eyes.
"I bumped into him." The girl named Stellar answered.
"Really?" the boy looked at him and then told the girl calmly, "You should apologize to him then."
"Okay." The girl said obediently as if following an order from her parent, "I'm sorry for bumping into you."
"Ah. No, it was my fault for not looking properly where I walk. Sorry." He said.
Then the girl smiled at him and for some unknown reason, he blushed.
"Darn. Did I really just blush here?"
"Let's go now Stellar, we're going to be late for our class." The boy said holding the girl's hand possessively as if telling him that the girl was already his.
Before going, the girl looked back at him and smiled again. Then the both of them left.
"That girl was really sweet and, well, cute too. If only Meyrin can be like that." The he remembered how the boy looked at him when he blushed because of the girl's smile, "But man, that guy was really scary. Did he think that I have a thing for his girl? I already have someone I like."
Yzak was about to enter his classroom when a girl from another class approached him.
"Hi Yzak! Can I please have our autograph? I'm one of your fans." The girl said excitedly.
"Sure." He said smiling and gave the girl his autograph.
"Thank you! I'll treasure this for sure." Said the girl and she immediately went back to her classroom.
"Heh. That was weird." Said a voice from behind, "Why would someone want your autograph?"
He immediately recognized the voice, it was the annoying brown haired girl. He looked at her and arrogantly said, "Why, you asked? That's because I'm famous! Are you regretting what you did to me now that you see my greatness?"
"Greatness my ass, whatever you do, you're still an annoying girly-boy." She said looking at him as if he was someone insignificant.
He was starting to get irritated again, "Look who's talking, you're just as annoying you know. Stupid girl."
Then she suddenly laughed, "Did you realize that you just admitted that you're annoying?" then she looked at him seriously, "You're the one who's stupid."
He felt like something just snapped in his brain, "Oh really, we'll see about that."
He pulled her close to him and did the most unexpected thing. He kissed her!
A/N: Yes. I know. It took me four years just to update. I apologize for that.
There were just so many things that were happening, like school and stuff. And truthfully, I forgot the whole plot of the story. XP.
So it's really hard to update this one. But I hope you will like this chapter.
Please send me your review.
