CHAPTER 3:
When she pulls away
Walking quietly down the street, Cagalli could only watch as couples seemed to be everywhere. Either walking side by side or sitting at the benches. The truth was, she envied them so much. Because unlike them, she could not do those things with a certain blue-haired boy who was walking beside her. Looking at him for a brief moment, she sighed.
This 'sigh' did not go unnoticed by the said coordinator's keen sense of hearing. Looking at the girl beside him, he could only frown. "Something wrong Cagalli?"
She shook her head and forced a smile. "Nothing…Just tired…"
Raising an eyebrow, he acted like he believed her 'reason' and continued walking.
Again he looked at the blonde girl. She was off staring to who knows where. Cagalli's acting odd today…. "Um…are you sure nothings wrong?"
"Yeah! I'm fine! C'mon the car is just some meters away!"
Okaaay….I can't even see the car. Athrun thought as he watched her hurriedly walk forward. Brushing the thought aside, he too, continued walking. While doing so…That's when he started to notice his surroundings.
There was a couple cuddling each other at the benches. Another couple, who was just meters away form them, was walking hand-in-hand. And another pair of lovebirds was busy sharing Ice cream in front of the vendor, who apparently, was disgusted by their public display of affection.
Couples….two people…..public…affection….
That's when it hit him.
He was a boy. And she was a girl. And they are a couple (But in secret). And they were in a park filled with couples…And Cagalli sighed just moments ago.
That only means…..
Quickening his pace, he finally managed to catch up with the blonde princess. "Cagalli."
She was surprised. Just moments ago, he was so far behind her. Now, he was their, behind her back! "Uh..yeah?"
Without a word, he took her hand and gripped on it tight, and continued strolling along with her.
She panicked. What the hell is he doing?! "Athrun!!"
"Hm?"
Not uttering a word, she averted her worried gaze towards her hand enthralled with his. Athrun looked at this and merely smiled.
"Athrun!!" she repeated, this time with gritted teeth.
He did not let go.
Seeing that there was no reasoning with this guy, she struggled to break free. After several attempts, she managed to do so.
"Athrun! What the hell was that about?? What if people see us and—"
But before she could finish, he grabbed her hand once again and pulled her back. Entangling his hand with hers once more. Tighter this time.
Cagalli blushed. He was DEMANDING to hold her hand. Even if it was in public…"Athrun…um…you'll get into trouble.."
Looking at the blonde girl with a gentle smile, he kissed her hand and said, "No problem. At least I got what I want."
Smiling, Cagalli leaned closer. Not minding the shocked stares of people strolling about.
(Pull her back)
When you see her at her worst
Ink was splattered all over her face. All over her uniform. All over her hair. Just…all over her.
And it was all thanks to a man named Kira Yamato.
"Um…Cagalli…I'm really, really, really sorry…I didn't mean to break the pen and splatter the ink on you.."
She was angry. No..angry was an understatement. She was beyond pissed. Looking angrily at her scared brother, she yelled.."KIRA YOU BIG IDIOT!!"
A bevy of colorful words came flying from her mouth as kira hurriedly made his way to the door. "C-Cagalli!! I demand you stop!! I'm y-your brother!! Viol-l-lence is not the key!!" As he made this statement, a book was about to hit his face. Luckily, he managed to open the door. Upon opening the door, he got ready to exit but alas…
Cagalli managed to hit the back of his head with her shoe. Yes. She was THAT desperate to hit him.
Athrun slowly made his way to Cagalli's office. The surroundings were silent….serenity filled the air…That is until he reached the corridor where the blonde girl's office was located at.
Curious, he hastily made his way to her office. Only to find a knocked out kira lying in front of her opened door. Hurrying his pace, he finally reached the office just as kira ran to who-knows-where.
Entering as he watched kira walk away, he asked, "Hm….and what did you two fight about now that got you so…" Looking at the person he directed the question to, his eyes grew wider.
Half of her hair….was covered in blue ink. Her uniform too. Not to mention her face. Her other shoe was missing. He was doing his best to hold up his laughter. In fear of being executed. "You…um ( snigger)…look…nice?(snigger)"
He just HAD to say that. Wopee. Way to go Zala. You just signed your own death warrant.
Infuriated, Cagalli looked at the nervous-looking boy and gave him a glare. A death glares to be precise.
He knew what that meant. He was SO dead. Slowly tiptoeing out from view, he was about to completely disappear, until…
"COME BACK HERE ZALA." A tone she rarely used was heard.
This was it. Athrun could only pray that she wouldn't pummel or shout curses at him. He didn't know what harsh punishment awaited him. He could only wait. Slowly going back to view, he stood awkwardly as he looked at her meekly. "Um…yeah?"
"EXPECT ME NEVER TO TALK TO YOU FROM THIS DAY ONWARDS."
Holy crap.
"Cagalli! C'mon! I was just kidding!"
She ignored it completely. But busied herself with the phone to call on Mana, her 'nanny'.
Athrun sighed. GREAT. Just GREAT. The silent treatment. That was hell. She did it to him once, and it wasn't pretty. Trying his luck once again, he reentered the room and stood still. "Cagalli…"
"Hello Mana? Um..yeah…no! everything's fine! I just want you to send in a new batch of uniform.."
Rolling his eyes, he walked closer towards the blonde girl. "CAGALLI"
" Yeah…the red one. I think I left some on the cabinet… "
Knowing that she just wouldn't notice him, he stormed out of the room. Just as he was at a safe distance away from the blonde girl, a brilliant idea came to mind. Taking out his cellphone, Athrun carefully typed away…
- - - - -
Her cellphone rang.
She opened it as she continued talking with her nanny. Opening her cellphone, this message greeted her,
Msg from Alex :
"I sw someone with yllow and blu hair
And with only one shoe. .
Her uni4rm was all drty.
I know I shouldn't be luking at other grls.
Sorry Cagalli.
But she was just too darn pretty…
don't be jealous okay?."
She stood there staring at the screen for a moment. Unconsciously a slight blush came upon her face. She was in a trance actually. That is until...
"Hello? Miss Cagalli?"
Noticing that she was still on the phone with someone, she shook her head and said, "uh..yeah…just bring the clothes as soon as you can. Thanks."
Putting down the phone, she sat on the couch and smiled intently towards her cellphone. That idiotic smooth talker! She hated to admit it, but she was getting all giddy inside. Thinking of a good comeback, she too, typed away for a reply.
- - - - - -
He was anxious.
Like on qeue, his phone rang. Opening hastily, a wide smile came upon his face upon reading the much-awaited reply.
Msg from Ms. Cagalli
"Flirt with her for all I care!
I stll have my boyfriend ATHRUN ZALA!
Actually, we're meeting for a movie date at my house later!
JEALOUS MY ASS."
He was shocked. She actually forgave him. And he even scored a date! With a huge smile on his face, he ran back to her office and saw that she was still reading his text message from earlier. (seeing the dreamy look in her face)
"Ahem. Cagalli?"
The blonde girl looked up. Surprised. "A-Athrun??"
"Who are you texting huh? Is that someone I know?"
"None of your business."
Seeing that she too, was playing along, he decided to carry on. "Well then, don't be late for our date later." And with that, he left.
Cagalli sat back again, sighing. That guy can sweet talk me and I can't help but fall for it! Argh!
Just as she was in the middle of her soliloquy, Athrun peeked in once again.
"Oh. And by the way, Cagalli."
"What now?"
"Tel that guy that he has to stay away from my multi-color haired, messy uniform, unbalanced shoes and extremely cute girlfriend."
(Tell her she's beautiful)
