Chapter 11- Meaningless
The team rejoiced after their tiring but winning game. Though their sweaty, they still went to Cagalli's house to celebrate. It's a double celebration for Cagalli since Lacus told her everything that happened. Mr. Athha wasn't there and only Mrs. Athha who cooked a wide variety of food from snacks to sweet deserts to heavy dinner. Since Lacus has a curfew she decided to go home early and say goodbye to everybody. Meanwhile, Kira gave back Tolle's phone. He also told him that Miriallia, friend of Lacus, was the one who found it.
"Thank you to my phone, you and Lacus meet again." He said looking at his precious phone. So Miriallia and Lacus are friends. He thought happily.
"And who is this Miriallia?" Teased Kira.
"Uh… no one, just Lacus' friend just like what you've said." He replied nervously then continues his work.
Monday came, Lacus was waiting for Flay's arrival early in the morning but instead she saw Miguel so she talked to him. "I don't want to make things worse so please come with me in the principal's office before the speech begins."
"Why would I go there?" defense Miguel. "I don't remember doing anything to anyone."
"Can you please stop being a liar? I have everything that I need to prove that those images were false. Why do you play dirty?" Miguel just kept quiet feeling nervous while Lacus continue. "It's just a school election." She gets something from her pocket and shows him a photo which surprised him. "Please talk to Flay and come with me in principal's office. I'll be waiting for the two of you…"
"What if we don't come?"
"Then you leave me no choice but to tell the principal and students here that it was all your doing." Lacus put the photo back in her pocket and leaves Miguel alone in the corridor not knowing what to do. I hope they'll come. I don't want to make this issue big.
When the speech is about to start and every student are called to the hall, Yzak talked to Lacus to just go to the principal's office alone and never mind Miguel and Flay. The two went there and told everything, she showed the proof to the principal.
"I'm sorry for not trusting you and Cagalli. Please go to the hall and make your speech in front of them like nothing happened. You and Cagalli won't be expelled."
"What about that Miguel? Isn't he going to be disqualified?" Asked Yzak. "All of this was his doing." The principal looked at Lacus.
"I don't want him to be suspended or disqualified. All I want is for him and Flay to say sorry. I don't want to use this situation to make me the winner."
"But he…"
"Please Yzak." She looked at Yzak trying to convince him that it's ok. He didn't argue anymore and they immediately went to the hall. Everyone was surprised when they saw Lacus together with her fellow teammates in the stage. What they know is that she's already disqualified. Flay was one of the students who were surprised and starts to feel scared. She remembers what Lacus told her last Saturday.
The speaker called Lacus first. As she stands in front of everyone, she sees Cagalli cheering her in her seat and Flay looking at her. "My fellow students and teachers. I believe that all of you are surprised why I am allowed to be standing here in front of you. First, I'll explained about the issue that I know made most of you think of me and my friend Cagalli as people who does dirty things. It isn't true." The crowd whisper to one another. "Like what my school mate Flay Allster said, we need evidence to prove something." Miguel stands to his seat. Lacus again looks at Flay who seems to be afraid for the next word that will come out from her mouth. They kept staring at one another for a few seconds before she continued.
"I have that evidence." Yzak was glad that Lacus is now defending herself while Flay stands from her seat and gets out of the hall. "But it's very personal that I won't be mentioning the names of those who did this to me." Miguel feels relieved but guilty. When Lacus finished her speech and it was his turn. He told everything to the students, he say sorry to everyone especially to Cagalli and Lacus but Flay's name wasn't mention.
After the speech, Miguel became the next talk of the campus. He also withdraws from running in the student council after the speech. After two days, the election began. Many said that Lacus is already the winner but she wants to hear the official result next week though she also believes them.
"You told me that Tolle is your friend's friend, do you know where to find him?" Asked Miriallia to Lacus shy while playing with her fingers.
"I really don't know I just give the phone to his friend in the park. If you want I'll call him and asked for Tolle's number." Answered Lacus. Miriallia blushed and walks away from her as she holds her cheeks.
In the restaurant, Flay was sitting alone crying. Kira gave her the juice she just ordered. She looked at Kira. "Do you need anything else?" he asked then Flay looked away. Why is she crying? Maybe Lacus already told the truth and she feels guilty.
"Why are you looking me like that? Do I look miserable?" cried Flay.
"No… It's just… I don't like seeing people crying." Said Kira honestly, Flay stop crying and wipes her tears with her hanky. "That's nice." He said smiling then walks away while Flay still looked at him.
When the result came, Lacus became the new president and Yzak was her vice president. Most of the winners came from their group. After class Lacus runs to her house to tell his father about this since they haven't talk after he slapped her. When she's came Erica's putting baggage in the car. "Where's father?"
"Oh, Ms. Lacus!" Erica hugs her merrily then let go. "Haven't your father told you?"
"Told me what Ms. Simmons?"
"That he'll go to a business trip together with Natarle, he just left this morning and I'll be following them." Now finished putting the things in the car. "Don't worry Ms. Lacus, he'll be back this summer for the wedding." Then she went inside the car. "Goodbye Ms. Lacus, I hope to see you this summer and I wish you'll be smiling when we meet again." Then she closed the window and told the driver to go.
Lacus was left alone crying in front of her house. "He didn't even say goodbye to me." Cried Lacus. "Winning in this election is meaningless." Her cat, Kira, walks around her.
At home in Kira's house. Kira was looking in the calendar and saw that only two weeks left before his birthday. "My birthday." He's not really excited in his birthday since they don't prepare anything special for him. Only Miki and her mother prepare for him like baking cookies and cakes and his father don't greet him unless her mother told him to. He read one of his books but soon gets bored. He remembers Lacus. "No! I will not call her at this time of the night. She might be sleeping by now." He said to himself. His mind told him not to call but something keeps telling him to call.
He stands up and looks at the clock, its 11:00pm. "I will not call her!" he shouted trying to stop him from getting the phone but he still finds himself in front of the telephone. He dials the phone and the phone is ringing from Lacus' house, he heard a noise from Miki's room and immediately put the phone down and rushed to her help.
Miki's lying on the floor breathing heavily with high fever. Kira puts her on bed and doesn't know what to do. His father won't be back until the next day and her mother take overtime. He gives Miki wet towel and put on her forehead to lessen the heat coming from her body.
Meanwhile Lacus came after doing her home works from his father's library. "I thought I heard the phone ring." She looked at their caller I.D. and saw Kira's number. "Why did he call?" Curious of his late phone call, she dials his number.
Kira worried and doesn't know what to do next gets the phone. "Yamato residence, what can I do for you?" he asked tiredly.
"It's me Kira, Lacus…"
"Lacus? Why did you call? Is there a problem?" he asked.
"That's my line. Why did you call here? And why is your voice sounds different? Are you having a problem?" asked Lacus worriedly.
"No." Said Kira trying not to make Lacus worry.
"Don't hide it Kira. I know there's something bothering you. What is it?" insisted Lacus.
"My sister has a high fever, I don't know what to do, I gave her wet towel but nothing change."
"I'll go there, now Give me your address." She replied impulsively.
"No way, it's too late and dark outside." Answered Kira who also became worried for Lacus. "Don't worry."
"Kira… Just give me your address, I promise I will be alright." Kira gave his address and did what Lacus has told him. Lacus immediately change clothes, get some medicine, went to the kitchen and wake Martin to drive her to Kira's house.
Martin drives the car and Lacus was seating looking outside worried. "I hope she'll be alright." She said to herself. Kira's looking at her ill sister now breathing heavily.
"Everything will be alright Miki." He whispered as he holds her hand.
