Music Background- Precious Rose by Naomi Shindoh
Chapter 4
"Athrun! Hurry up, can't you?"called Lacus impatiently from outside.
Athrun, who was still drinking his coffee, glanced at his watch. The time was still earlier. He wondered why Lacus felt so excited. Today was only an ordinary Monday. And as far as he remembered, Lacus never liked Monday. Monday always been the most tiring day among the seven other days. "Hey! We have a plenty of time, you know!"
Lacus appeared at the door, hands at hips. "Today is Monday, Athrun and in case you've forgotten, there will be an assembly today! I don't want to be late!" she said sternly.
"Okay, okay..."Athrun gave up eventually. He looked around for his mother but there was no sign of her. "Mom, we are going to school!"
"Okay! Take care, Athrun, Lacus!" Came the reply from the back of the house, giving Athrun and Lacus the meaning that their mother was at her mini garden. Their mother, Lenore Zala loved gardening very much. That was why she insisted to have a small garden at the back of the house.
The two left the house sharp at 7.00 a.m. It was still early for Athrun since the assembly would started around 8.30 a.m. But Lacus was still nervous and doubted whether they could arrive at school in time and forced Athrun to walk faster. Athrun noticed that she kept looking around as she was looking for someone. It gave Athrun a thought.
"I think you are not worried about the assembly but about Kira, right?"he guessed.
His twin's face became slightly pink; it resembled her hair. "W-what if I am? I can find myself a boyfriend if I want!"she retorted.
The blue-haired guy turned and glared at her. "Don't you remember what Mom said about having a boyfriend at school, Lacus?"
"Mom said, I can have a boyfriend if I want but I must make sure my study is at the top. Oh, come on, Athrun. We are 16 already. It's our time to enjoy, don't you think so?"said Lacus.
Athrun frowned and shook his head. "I come to school to study, not to enjoy!" he said sternly.
Lacus narrowed her eyes towards her twin. She was already bored with Athrun's anti-sosial live. Athrun never had a girlfriend or befriended with any girl before. She was quite glad when Athrun started to befriend with girls at Eternal High. But he was still didn't bother to have a girlfriend even though he was popular among the girls. "I wonder why there is such guy like you in this world anymore...but, Athrun, if you keep saying that, I won't be surprised if Cagalli turns to Auel instead."
Auel's name brought back Athrun's anger. He didn't know why but since he saw Auel and Cagalli being so close at the night when they went to the funfair together, his blood would start boiling everytime he heard the name. "She is not mine, she can pick anyone she likes."
"Who are you talking about?"
"Cagalli, who else?"
"Me?"
"Yeah...ehhh?"Athrun was so surprised when he saw Cagalli was walking beside him. "Cagalli!"
Cagalli grinned as she patted Athrun's head and messed his hair slightly. It had been her habit since her first day at Eternal High and met Athrun. "Heh, you two are talking about me? Care to tell me what?"
"Er...that..It's nothing, actually..."stammered Athrun as he tried to avoid Cagalli's gaze. He felt so uncomfortable walking beside her.
"Actually, Cagalli, we are talking about you and Auel. Kira had told me about he and Meyrin. They've broken up, right? You like Auel, don't you, Cagalli? Now, you have chances to be his girlfriend. He seemed had kept her eyes on you." Lacus said.
Kira, who was walking beside her, nodded. "Yeah, I'm always wondering whether it was you who asked him to ditch Meyrin..."
"Hey! Why the hell should I do that! Okay, I like Auel but only as friends! I was just kidding about the two breaking up!"explained Cagalli angrily.
"Liar. You told Meer that night you want Auel to be your beyfriend."said Athrun coldly.
The blonde glared at him but something in his voice just now made her felt urge to explain everything to him. It felt like..she didn't want him to think wrong about her. "That...I just said it, I didn't mean it! Auel sure is cute but when I found out he already had a girlfriend, I've given up on him. I told that to him, when he asked me to go out with him."
"He...asked you to go out with him? Cagalli, he asked you that? And you said no?" asked Kira, his eyes widened. "How come you didn't tell me about it?"
Lacus looked at her interestedly. "Yeah, tell us, Cagalli. When and how did he 'propose' you? And where?" she asked eagerly.
Only Athrun didn't say or ask anything. But quietly, he was listening. He might look not interested but he was really interested. He kind of couldn't believe Cagalli didn't agree to become Auel's girlfriend. She showed clearly that she liked Auel. But, somehow, he was glad with it.
Cagalli took a deep breath before explaining it all. "Okay, he called me last Saturday, telling me that he and Meyrin had broken up. I told Kira about that and I see he had spread the news to the whole world. ("Hey! I only told Lacus!" said Kira) Then, he asked me whether I still want to be his girlfriend since he found out I'm better than Meyrin. But, I said he is a good friend and I don't want to lose such a friend. The story ends. So, the moral value of the story is...er...what, yeah?"
Unfortunately, no one laughed.
Kira and Lacus changed a disbelieving look while Athrun stared at his own fingernail, smiling slightly. Cagalli stopped walking and stood in front of them, arm-folded and pouting. "Hey! What's the matter with you three?"
Lacus gave her a faint, unconvicing smile. "It's just hard for us to believe, Cagalli..." she said, with Kira nodded in agreement.
The blonde turned to Athrun instead. "And you? What's wrong? You look like an insane, smiling for no reason like that!"
Athrun looked up, looking very cheerful. "Hey!" he protested. "I have a reason to smile. You don't have to know what, okay? What you all must know is, we will be late if we don't hurry up!"
Athrun was in a good mood for the whole morning. He greeted everyone he met, and even treated Meer warmly. Meer was very shocked when Athrun didn't blush when she pretended to kiss him. Instead, he smiled and pushed her slowly. Everyone, included Lacus was wondering why he was in such a good mood. He never been that happy since he started attending Eternal High.
Cagalli, at the other hand, was having a problem. She didn't notice it at first but when a lot of people didn't reply when she greeted them, she began to feel curious. Later, she found out that Meyrin had spread the news that Cagalli was the cause why Auel ditched her. That was why most of the girls acted cold towards Cagalli as they thought Cagalli had snatched someone's boyfriend. It wasn't a big matter to Cagalli, actually, since there were some peoples who still believed her. However, she didn't want everyone to think bad about her. She asked Meyrin to tell everyone the truth but the red-headed girl simply ignored it.
Auel was very angry when he found out about it. At the lunch time, he dragged Meyrin to an empty block. Everyone could hear their shouting match. The block wasn't empty, actually, when the two were arguing. A lot of people were watching them.
"You shouldn't do this, Meyrin! She has nothing to do with it!"retorted Auel furiously.
Meyrin smirked evilly. Some of the guys who were watching, gulped. They never saw Meyrin smirked like that. Meyrin always looked cute and innocent.
"She has something to do with it! I know you ditched me because you've fallen in love with her!"
Athrun frowned a bit when he heard what Meyrin said. He glanced at Cagalli to see what was her reaction. She was gnashing her teeth and muttering something that sounded like, "How dare she...I wish I could kill her..."
Auel blushed a little but he shoved it in no time. "No, I'm not! I like her, but only as friends! So does she! Meyrin, I want you to stop all this now! Poor her..."
"Why should I care about her? She is only a new student! A new student should act like it!"spat Meyrin.
"...You...You, Meyrin..."Auel lost his words. He looked very scary. "You can do anything to me, Meyrin but don't disturb her!"
"Oh, how valiant..." Meyrin mocked.
Auel's face was red in anger now. His whole body was trembling. "...If you are not a girl, Meyrin, I swear I've killed you now. But I won't hit a girl. ...Fine, Meyrin...I don't think Cagalli will mind if your damn friends don't care about her...she has a lot of friends more...But...if you lay a finger on her, you will regret it for sure. Mark my words, Meyrin."
Everyone were talking about the argument for the whole day. Auel and Meyrin were given detention because causing chaos during reccess. The two didn't say anything but nodded obediently. They knew it was their own fault.
To Cagalli's worry, Auel didn't say a single word to her since the argue incident until the last bell rang. As soon as the teacher went out, he dashed to the staffroom to do his detention with Miss Gladys. Cagalli wondered if Meyrin and Auel would do their detentions together. She couldn't imagine what would happen if they would.
Kira, Lacus, Cagalli, Athrun, Yuuna, Meer and Flay walked home together. They still discussed about the Auel-Meyrin incident. But Cagalli had warned Athrun, Lacus and Kira to not telling the others about Auel asking her out. She didn't want anyone except for the three to know about it. Maybe she would get into a bigger problem if everyone knew about it.
"You know what, I think Meyrin deserved it. She isn't a good girl for a good guy like Auel." Meer gave her opinion.
Flay nodded, agreed with her bestfriend. "Yeah, I think so too. Auel doesn't deserve someone like Meyrin. I saw her once. She was kissing that Vino Dupre at an empty corridor." she said.
"But what she did to Cagalli is too much, right? She shouldn't do that!"said Yuuna angrily.
Cagalli smiled. Deep inside her heart, she felt glad that she still had some friends who believed her. She must admit that she didn't like Meer and Yuuna but at least they believed her. Her other friends also believed her, like Tolle, Miriallia, Shiho, Yzak and Dearka. And to her surprise, even Meyrin's sister, Lunamaria said she didn't believe Meyrin! "Thanks a lot, you guys. It's okay, at least, I still have you all."
"Well, sis, I'll make sure everyone are at your side. I never thought this matter will be this serious. That Meyrin sure is dangerous. I heard she has many boy friends outside school."said Kira.
Lacus shook her head slowly in horror. "If only Auel didn't ditch Meyrin...these all wouldn't happen..."
"I asked Auel many times about it; why did he ditch Meyrin but he said he wants to keep it secret. Hey, Athrun, are you okay?"asked Cagalli when she noticed Athrun didn't say anyhing.
Athrun seemed just awake from a deep sleep. "Ah..Um...I'm okay...just thinking, you know...what kind of detention do the get?"
"Mr Neider, Miss Hawke, I want you two to arrange these files according to the classes and the years. The faster you finish the job, the faster you will go home. Before you two start, I would like to give an advice as a teacher. You are lucky that this school doesn't forbid its student to have a boyfriend or girlfriend, but no matter how serious yor love problem is, please solve it outside school, understand?"
Auel and Meyrin nodded. "Yes, Miss Talia."they answered in unison.
The two began to do their work without talking. There were more than 5000 files in the room. The files contained the details of the pupils that ever attended Eternal High. Some of the files were at the right location but most of them were not. It was a very hard job to arrange them all and it looked like this was the punishment for a very serious misdeed.
Meyrin grumbled under her breath as she arranged the files. She wanted to say it loud but there was Miss Talia, watching them as she read a book that looked like a novel. This was Meyrin's first time having detention and she was sure everyone at school knew about it, included her twin sister, Lunamaria. And she knew Lunamaria was very happy when she found out her sister was having dentention. Meyrin still could remember that Friday's night incident.
-Flashback-
They went home from the funfair by Auel's car. Meyrin was relucant but Auel insisted to send them home since they went to the funfair by his car. No one spoke a word on the way home. Meyrin didn't dare to open her mouth because Auel still looked angry at her sight. Even though he looked cheerful in front of the others just now, as soon as he got into the car, he wore back his angry face. The face was enough to scare everyone, including Lunamaria.
After 11 minutes ride, they arrived at Hawke's house. Meyrin went out from the car without saying anything. Lunamaria raised her eyebrows. She thought there was must be something wrong with the two. Meyrin never acted cold towards Auel; she was clingy and always wore her fake, sweet smile if Auel was around. It made Lunamaria irate but when Meyrin didn't do it, it somekind made her felt weird.
"What's wrong, Auel? Did you two argue?"she asked, still inside the car even though Meyrin had bursted into the house.
Auel let go a soft sigh before answering. "Yeah...we've broken up..."
The news shocked Lunamaria very much; she nearly fell. "Broke up? But why?"
"I think you know why. Yeah, I've found out all the things she did behind me. And I would like to thank you, Luna, for keeping it secret all this time."
Lunamaria's jaw dropped. So, Auel had known about it! It was a happy news for her. It meant that Meyrin couldn't threaten her anymore. But she didn't want Auel to think bad about her. She didn't mean to keep it secret. If only he knew how much she wanted him to know. "No, Auel! It's not like that! I-I want to tell you but- but Meyrin threatened me with my secret! I'm sorry, Auel. I really am!"
The blue-haired guy forced a smile. "It's okay, then...I must go now, Luna."
Lunamaria nodded and got out from the car. "Thank you for sending us home. Drive carefully."she said, closing the door.
"Okay. Take care too." Auel replied inside the car before disappearing from Lunamaria's sight.
Unfortunately, Meyrin was watching from the window. She gritted her teeth angrily. So it was Lunamaria who told him everything, she thought. It was really unexpected; Meyrin never thought Lunamaria would dare to do it. As soon as her sister entered the house, Meyrin began to retort.
"Huh, I never thought you will do this, Oneechan!"
"Do what?"asked the confuse Lunamaria.
Her sister glared at her. "Don't play innocent! You told Auel about my secret! That's why he ditched me! How dare you do this to your own sis!"
The accusation was too much for Lunamaria. She never imagined Meyrin accused her like that. Her tears nearly fell but she held them back. Meyrin even yelled at her, her one and only sibling. Their parents never teached her to be like that and Meyrin never did that to her all this time. "Meyrin, I never told him! You can ask he himself! Don't accuse me like that! And..And how dare you yelled at me, Meyrin! I'm older than you!"
Meyrin laughed mockingly. She really wasn't the sweet, cute-looking Meyrin anymore. Instead, she looked very evil. "Huh! You were only born before me by coincidence! We were at the same hour, the same day! Don't act like you are 5 years older than me! I don't care! I'll tell Burrel about your secret! Serve you right!"
-end flashback-
And she did what she said. It was the first thing she did when she reached school. She told Rey about Lunamaria's secret. But the answer shocked her very much.
"I know about it, Hawke. Lunamaria told me yesterday; I don't know where she got my number. But she told me everything. She said she likes me and wants to be more than my friend. Yeah, she also told me her habit of kissing my photo before go to sleep. Oh, she did mention about you; she said maybe you will tell me as well. Honestly, Hawke, I don't think it is an embarassing habit." said Rey with a hidden smirk on his face.
Meyrin couldn't imagine how her face looked like that time. She really hated her sister. All this time, she always threatened her with secret but now she couldn't do that again. She had lost her reason to order Lunamaria around like she always did. Unable to embarrass her sister, Meyrin thought another thing to make Auel suffered. Then, she remembered about what Auel ever told her; about a girl who said clearly she liked Auel. Meyrin began to believe that the girl was the cause why Auel ditched her so suddenly. She gathered all her friends; boys and girls, and storied how the girl, by the name Cagalli Yula Attha, snatched her boyfriend. Most of them were convinced but Cagalli's boy friends like Shani Andras, Orga Sabnak, Sting Oakley and Clotho Buer didn't. Same went to the others who were in Cagalli's class and the ones who knew her well. They knew Cagalli wouldn't do that.
Meyrin's plan went very well but she never thought she would have detention because of it. And she felt very angry with Athrun, who didn't show any symphaty towards her. Instead, Meyrin noticed he was at Cagalli's side. But it didn't make she gave up on him, but made she felt even wanted to make him fall into her!
"Hacchiu!" Athrun sneezed suddenly. He rubbed his nose gently. "Did I catch the cold?"
"Are you all right, Athy?"asked Cagalli.
Athrun rolled his eyes towards her. "I'm fine but don't call me that, Caggy! It reminds me to that Campbell!" he said, frowning. The images of Meer calling him that were still in his head even though he didn't wish to remember them.
Cagalli pouted. She hated the name Caggy that Yuuna gave to her. "Hey! I hate that name! Caggy...how dare that Seylan make my name sounds so silly!" she retorted.
"So, don't call me Athy! Gee...That Campbell soup really make me mad...Athy... what she's thinking...Athrun is not too long, is it? Why must she makes it short?" grumbled Athrun.
Kira and Lacus looked at themselves and giggled. They finally could talk freely after Meer, Yuuna and Flay separated with them. The two knew Athrun and Cagalli was having a hard time with Yuuna and Meer. Flay didn't make anyone mad but she had a kind of habit of cutting off anyone who was talking. Athrun, Cagalli, Kira and Lacus also couldn't talk about Auel asking Cagalli out in front of the three even though they really wanted to talk about it.
"So, Cagalli, what will you do to the girls? I never thought this matter will be this serious. I mean, it's not like you are going out with Auel, right?"said Kira as he looked at his sister. "Maybe you shouldn't tell anyone that you like Auel at the first time."
The blonde shrugged. She also didn't expect that her compliment on her first day at Eternal High would get her into troubles. "Well...I dunno...But not everyone believe the story, though. Tolle, Milly, Shiho, Yzak, Dearka and even Lunamaria told me they don't believe it. So do Shani, Sting, Orga and Clotho. I don't really need the girls, just don't like them thinking wrongly about me. "
Kira narrowed his eyes when he heard the names Shani, Sting, Orga and Clotho. "And who the hell are there Syaney, Stingray, Organ and what...Clothes?"he asked.
His sister at him deathly. She didn't like him to play with her friends's name. "Shani, Sting, Orga and Clotho! Don't play with their names! They are my friends! Not from our class actually. They are in Meyrin's class. Anyway, I'm quite glad I didn't accept Auel's offer. Maybe they'll torture me worse than this if they found out."
Lacus turned to her twin and saw he was frowning. The pink-haired guy smirked. "Yeah, and if you accepted Auel's offer, someone here would be hurt..."
Both Athrun and Cagalli turned to Lacus by hearing this; one with a red face while the other one wore a confuse face. Before Cagalli could ask who was Lacus talking about, Athrun had shown clearly to them who it was. "Lacus! Shut up!" he shouted and then turned to a deep shade of very bright pink when he realized Cagalli was staring at him.
Kira laughed at his face. Athrun tried to hide it by turning to another side but it was too obvious to hide. Cagalli also blushed sligtly as she wondered whether Lacus was saying the truth. Lacus laughed quietly along with Kira.
"So it is Athrun?"asked Kira.
"Obviously, Kira. Look how red his face now, it is redded than tomato, you know." Lacus answered.
"Oh yeah...I wonder who woke me up at 6.00 a.m this morning just because she wanted to walk with Kira..."Athrun replied as he rolled his eyes towards his twin sister.
It was Lacus's turn to blush but she didn't blush as much as Athrun. Instead, she turned to Kira who wore the same confuse expression that Cagalli wore just now. "Of course we want to walk together, right, Kira? The more, the safer. We are also bestfriends, aren't we? Is it weird if I want to walk to school with my bestfriend? And not to mention, we are not alone."
Kira clapped his hands. "Wow! You should be a lawyer, Lacus! I'm sure you will win all the cases."
"Actually, Lacus, if you want to walk alone with Kira, I don't mind. It will be my pleasure. You know what, he woke me up sharp at 5.20 a.m this morning and at that time, he was fully clothed. Tomorrow you can walk with Lacus alone, Kira. I'll walk with someone else, perhaps Auel and Athrun can walk with Meer."said Cagalli, smiling triumphantly.
Athrun smiled. "Yeah, I'm agree with Caggy but there's a problem with the last bit. I don't want to walk with Campbell Soup and I won't! I rather walk alone! But Caggy, you've got the right point. What if we leave them alone now?"
They exchanged a meaningful smirk. Cagalli winked and put her thumbs up. "Oh, I know what do you mean. Okay, ready, GO!"
With the shout, the two dashed, leaving the blinking Lacus and Kira. The two looked at themselves, looking puzzled. Lacus raised her eyebrows. "What's wrong with them?" she asked curiously.
Kira shrugged. He also didn't have any idea why Athrun and Cagalli suddenly ran. "Dunno. But we have a plent of time, don't we? Let's not rush up."
"Sure. I hate running, though. And we should give them a private moment, shouldn't we? Don't you think they deserve one, after what they experienced with Yuuna and Meer?"asked Lacus as she began to walk slowly.
Kira followed her. "Yeah...I think so too..."
"Hey, Athy! Let's stop! This is my house!"said Cagalli when they reached a double-storey house.
Athrun stopped and panted. Just a little while ago his fair face was red in embarassment but now it was red again, but because of the heat. "..Uh...I've told you, don't call me that..."he said, in his pant.
Cagalli also panted. "...Well...you call me Caggy just now..."
They took some times to stop panting. Athrun looked at the house. It wasn't too big but not too small, either. He tried to compare the house with his own house. His house was bigger and had a small garden behind it. His house also had a small basketball court. But the house didn't have any of them. It only had a small yard with several flowers and a swing.
"So this is your house?"he asked Cagalli.
"Yeah. Wanna come in? My mom is in, we won't be alone." said Cagalli.
Athrun shook his head and leaned against the fence. "I think I'll wait for them here. It's okay, you just go inside."
The blonde seemed hesitate. It wasn't nice to leave a friend outside. Her mom always said that. She could accompany him but right now, she really wanted to have a drink and lay down on her feathery bed. "Are you sure? I can get you a drink, you know..."she coaxed.
"I've said, it's okay."Athrun insisted.
"If you say so..."
She was about to walk and left him when Athrun pulled her hand. She turned to look at him but he was looking at another side. His face was glowing red as he pulled her closer. Cagalli's heart began to beat faster and she could feel her cheek was burning. "Athrun?"
"...um...that...I just want to say...I...I'll always be here if you need me...and...I really don't believe the story..."he whispered and gave her a soft, heart-melting kiss at cheek.
The time seemed had stopped for a while when he kissed her. Cagalli's eyes and mouth widened. Athrun's lips were still at her cheek. It felt like heaven for her. Athrun was the first guy who kissed her, except her brother and her father. Even thought she had no idea why, the feeling of disappointment attacked her heart when Athrun let go of her.
No one spoke a word after that. Athrun looked both embarassed and shocked and was covering his mouth with his hand, with an expression of disbelief on his face. Cagalli, at the other hand, was touching the spot where Athrun had kissed her just now. Without a word, she ran inside the house, leaving the red-faced Athrun alone.
The blue-haired guy leaned against the fence again, his hand still at his mouth. He almost couldn't believe it. He kissed her! He had done the thing that he always wanted to do everytime he looked at Cagalli! It was weird...he never kissed any girl except Lacus and his mother. In fact, he never touched any girl except of the two. He didn't know where he got the courage to kiss her. It happened so suddenlty so he couldn't blame Cagalli for running away without a word like that.
"OMG...I kissed her...I kissed Cagalli Yula Attha...her cheek is so soft...and her body...is very warm...God, I wonder if this is love..."
Her ringing cell phone killed Cagalli's thought. She was at her room, lying on her bed and still thinking about what happened in the afternoon. It was too good to forget. Relucantly, she got up and took her cell phone. She really hoped it wasn't Athrun. After the kissing incident, she didn't know what to say to him. And she didn't even tell anyone about it, including Kira.
To her relief, it really wasn't Athrun.
"Hello? Auel, right?'
"Hi. Yeah, it's me."
Cagalli glanced at the clock. 4.15 p.m. "You just got home from detention?"
"Yeah...weel, not at home yet, actually. Still on the way home. Phew...arranging files isn't an easy job, Cagalli..."
"...This is all my fault, isn't it? You argued with Meyrin because of me..."
"Oh, don't say that...she deserved it. You are innocent, how dare she accused you like that."
"I think so...Hey, Auel...um...Athrun kissed me just now." Cagalli didn't know why she told Auel but she really needed someone to share it now.
"Really! Where? Lips?"
"No, cheek. But...this is my first time, Auel. All this time, only Kira and my father ever kissed me..."
"But you said you had a boyfriend before."
"...Well, I did have a boyfriend but he never kissed me. Ahmed, my ex, only a bestfriend who always helped me...that's why I called him my boyfriend... but Athrun is different..."
"Okay...do you think he, I mean Athrun, meant something?"
"I dunno...it happened so fast...he pulled my hand, whispered he will always be there if I need him...and then, kissed me...he didn't say anything after that...he himself seemed shocked."
"...Um, in that case...I think we can do a little quiz here..."
"A quiz?"
"Yeah..okay, do you always blush around him?"
"...Um...not really...well, I did blush sometimes but I think he is the one who blushed a lot around me..."
"And when he is close to you, do your heart beat faster?"
Cagalli still remembered the feeling when they stood really close with each other because Athrun wanted to tie her ribbon for her on her first day at Eternal High and also the feeling when Athrun pulled he closer and kissed her just now. "Yeah..."
"The last question, um...I know Meer always clings on him...what do you feel when she do that?"
"...Hate it. Well, it's not like I'm jealous or what, just..."
"You love him, Cagalli. You love Athrun."
"...B-But... no, it can't be...May-Maybe I like him but...love him...isn't it too early for to feel that? It hasn't been even a month..." She stammered. She had expected the result of 'the quiz' to be like this but it was stil hard for her to believe.
"Cagalli, I only knew Meyrin for two days before I fell in love with her."
"But-"
"Oh, come on, Cagalli, accept it. Athrun is perfect for you. But... Cagalli, if you are serious about Athrun, I want to warn you something..."
"What?"
"Meyrin. She had locked her sight on Athrun. Maybe she will do something worse to you if she know about this."
"...I just don't know how to face him tomorrow..."
"Hahahaha...You know what, Cagalli? You are acting like he just kissed your lips! Don't worry, treat him like always. I must hung up now, see you tomorrow."
"See you..."
After cutting of the line, Cagalli lied back on the bed and stared at the ceiling. She was still unsure about her feeling towards Athrun. She must admit that sometimes, she couldn't stop herself glancing at him. He was very handsome on her sight. And when he smiled, she would immediately feel hot around her face. Even though she tried to control herself not to blush, sometimes she couldn't help but to blush.
"Yeah, and if you accepted Auel's offer, someone here would be hurt..."
She still could remember what Lacus said earlier; if she accepted Auel's offer, someone, among them, would be hurt. She knew Lacus meant Athrun, since it couldn't be herself or Kira. And Athrun showed it himself that he was the one who Lacus talked about. His blush and reaction told Cagalli everything.
"...So...he loves me too?...OMG...I wish he didn't kiss me...Now I feel very uncomfortable..."
Ja! (Momiji's quote) How is it? I hope it isn't boring. Please review and tell me what do you think! And forgive me for any typo, grammar and spelling mistakes, okay?
