Chapter 5- Decision
Upon hearing those words coming from someone who's claiming that she's the daughter of the owner made Tolle and Kira to stop for a moment. They don't know if they'll believe or just ignore her. Flay noticed that Kira and Tolle was doubting her words and she's starting to get the attention of people near them. To avoid further argument, Kira did was he was told.
"If that's what you want ma'am, I'll start today." Said Kira suddenly. Tolle was surprised with what Kira said. Flay sit down and looked Tolle meanly.
Scared to be fired, he followed Kira in getting the menu. "Do you believe her Kira? That she's our boss?"
"Whether she's our boss or not I guess we need to do what she wants us to, she's a costumer."
Tolle looked at Flay but Flay still looked meanly at him so he removed his eyes away from her immediately. What's her problem? We're already following her. Thought Tolle a little annoyed.
When all is done and Flay wasn't there anymore, Kira and Tolle went to the personnel room to change clothes so that they can go home. "I'm sorry Tolle, you'll go home late." Said Kira feeling guilty.
"Don't be sorry." He put on his school uniform and they went out. It's really late at night. Only few people can be seen walking on the street. They ride the bus, when Tolle was near his house he say goodbye to Kira and went down. Kira was sitting in the back of the bus with no one sitting beside him. He looked outside the window and saw Cagalli (the girl that shouted him when they went to the big house) as the bus passed by. It's her. He thought.
"Why do you keep following us?" Cagalli asked Dearka who keep insisting that he'll bring her and Miriallia home.
"I'm not following you; it's Miriallia that I'm following." Dearka said as he tries to get Miriallia's big bag. Miriallia didn't let him and insist that she can go home. "I'm just trying to help you."
"I can go home by myself, you don't need to."
"I waited for you for four hours and that's what you'll just tell me? To leave you here and let you go home and walk in this dangerous place?"
Cagalli stop which made Miriallia and Dearka stop. "Nobody asked you to wait for her. Is there someone?" Cagalli said angrily. She saw a bus coming. "I'm going to take a bus and Miriallia's coming with me." She holds Miriallia and when the bus stop, the two of them runs towards there leaving Dearka.
The next day every one was talking about the candidates running for the student council. Lacus was asked yesterday but she didn't tell her friends until Miriallia asked. Many heard their conversation and start to listen to them.
"Rusty Mackenzie is going to graduate this year, which means that they need a new president for the student council. Why don't you try? I can sense that you'll win for sure."
Lacus answered Miriallia gently, "There are many students here that are more capable than me." Since Lacus was seating near the window, she noticed Flay with a guy walking in the school ground. She suddenly remembers that that guy was the president of the drama club. She stands up and went to the window to look at them closely but their teacher came in so everybody went to their proper seat and start the lesson. I didn't know that they were friends. Lacus thought suspiciously.
After the class, Cagalli told Lacus that she won't be able to go home with her because they'll be having a practice again. Since Lacus have nothing to do at home and they have no test or homework for tomorrow, she insists that she'll go and watch their practice. It was an enjoying practice for the basketball team and Lacus though she only watched them. When the practice was over. She rushed home because it's passed 8 o'clock.
When she's home, she saw Natarle who was waiting for her in front of the door looking mad at her. She greeted her but she was just ignored. "Where have you been?" Natarle asked.
"I've been from the school Ms. Badgiruel."
"I didn't know that you have a night class." Natarle said starting to get annoyed. Lacus didn't speak and just stood at her place. "Do you always go home this late?"
"I don't always go home this late…" Lacus explained.
"Only when your father isn't here?"
"No." Lacus answered immediately.
"I didn't know that you grew up with no self discipline." Said Natarle trying to insult Lacus. Lacus didn't speak again which makes Natarle angrier. "I'll ask your father to give you a curfew after our dinner."
"Curfew?" Said Lacus surprisingly. "Why would you do that? I seldom go home late."
"So that you'll be disciplined, do you understand?" Lacus just looked on the other direction and didn't answer. Natarle hold Lacus wrist. "I'm asking you, do you understand?"
Lacus gave no respond so Natarle let go of her. Lacus feeling a bit hungry went to the kitchen. "You're not allowed to eat!" cried Natarle. Lacus looked at her with some annoyed look. "Why are you looking at me like that? Dinner time is 7 o'clock and it's passed 8. That will be your punishment for today."
"I thought you'll be asking father about giving me a curfew after our dinner?" said Lacus trying to control her feelings.
"Yes we'll be having a dinner, but not here and not with you." Natarle look at her watch and saw that it was time to leave. "I'm going now, go to your room and have some rest." She went out somewhat happy.
Alone in her room and feeling bad for the night, she didn't cry. She just lay in her bed thinking what she has done wrong with Natarle for treating her like that. "Why is she treating me like this? It's like she have a grudge on me." She sits in her bed and thinking, why is she living here anyway when she and father aren't married yet?
Next morning, Lacus woke up early to eat breakfast with her father but he wasn't there and instead its Natarle who's there. Disappointed, she still greeted Natarle and eats breakfast but faster than before to avoid hearing what Natarle will say. "I've talked to your father last night about what you have done."
"What did father said?" Asked Lacus nervously.
"He said that I was right in giving you a curfew so starting today, you must go home before 7 o'clock but don't worry, I'm not that strict, If you have a true and valid reason I can let you go home as late as 8." Lacus was surprised, she wants to say something but instead keep quiet to avoid argument.
He favored with Ms. Badgiruel; it's like believing her without even asking me. Thought Lacus while going inside the classroom. When she went inside, she was surprised when Yzak stood there waiting for her. "Good morning Yzak." She put her bag in her chair.
"Will you run? I came here to ask that."
"How about you? Will you run?"
"I thought of that for two nights and yes, I will run for vice president." Yzak continue. "And you? What's your decision?"
Lacus smile "I… I won't run." Yzak realizes that Lacus haven't made up her mind yet.
"If that's your decision as this moment. But if you change your mind, you can go in the student council office. We'll be waiting for you." Said Yzak seriously. "So please make up your mind now." Yzak left the room just in time for the bell.
It was time for the history class and they'll have a play. Cagalli goes with Lacus in the rest room to change clothes. The rest room was almost full and one toilet place is available. Because they're rushing, Lacus pull Cagalli inside and the two change clothes. When they're almost done and the rest room was almost deserted. They heard girls coming in.
"Is he going to run for president?" Asked a voice.
"Yes, he said he doesn't want to be the drama club president anymore." Said a familiar voice. Cagalli recognize it as Flay's." If he became the president, I'll ask him to remove the basketball team for girls since it doesn't have any win."
"Do you think he'll do that?"
"Of course, when I told him that I'm going to date him he remove Lacus' name in the list for the Cinderella play and put my name instead. So I'll give him my support." The two went out laughing. And someone went in again.
"No!" Cagalli cried while going out with Lacus in their toilet. "I can't believe this." The girl looked at them while they went out.
"You have to run! Or else…" Cagalli was controlling her anger. Lacus walked quietly with her thinking about what she'll do. "After you, now she's targeting our team!" continue Cagalli.
End of the Chapter
If you noticed wrong grammar, spelling, or my story doesn't have unity or any kinds of error feel free to tell me. It would be nice to know what you feel about my work.
For everyone, I would like to say I'm not a Flay hater, and I'm sorry if I'm making Lacus a weak character.
