"Cagalli, open up this door!" Kira shouted, pounding on her bedroom door. She winced at the sound of his voice and immediately woke up. She blinked and rubbed her eyes.
"We're gonna be late if you don't wake up now!" he shouted again and then, she heard his footsteps slowly faded downstairs.
"Okay, okay! I'm awake already!" she started to rose from her bed when suddenly she remembered about yesterday's incident with Athrun. She felt her cheeks grew warm and she touched her lips. The way Athrun kissed her makes her heart beating fast. "So that's how it was like to be kissed. It feels just like a dream to me…"
She quickly shook her head to get rid of the thoughts and make way to the bathroom. A few minutes later, she came down to see her brother scowling at the dining table. She just shrugged, grab a French toast that was on the table and started eating.
"Why do you always woke up late, Cagalli? I think I've already told you hundred time before not to stay up too late. For example, like now. I'm the one making breakfast while you just enjoy eating it. Doesn't it ever occurred to you to at least once in a while, you do the cooking?" he began his lectures.
"Will you quick giving me headache? I've much of it from father's department, thank you!" she said matter-of-factly.
Kira suddenly chuckled then ruffled her hair. "Haha, I don't doubt about it. Serve you right, though," he grinned wickedly. She stuck out her tongue and rearranges back her hair. Then she felt something's wrong with her face.
"Argh, I almost forgot the glasses!" she scrambled back to her room. Kira just shook his head; he was well aware of his sister's clumsiness. But he still couldn't figure out why she didn't wanna tell the secret to their friends.
"Why are you still keeping secret about who you really are? I mean, I know there are lots of bad guys out there that would kidnapped you for money but still, I think there's no harm in telling our friends, right?" he asked her when they were in the car, heading towards their college.
"Easy for you to say, you're not the Orb Princess. Just imagine if one of our friends accidentally slipped out that fact? I think I'll pass that, thank you very much," she said firmly.
"Oh, you are quite right. I'm so sorry for even brought up the topic. Gomen ne sis!" he apologized.
"It's okay but don't ever talk about it anymore. I don't like it," she said.
They just kept quiet until they arrived at the college. As Cagalli bade goodbye to Kira, she quickly ran to her class as she was almost five minutes late when suddenly someone grabbed her by the arm.
"What the…" she couldn't finish her sentence as Athrun sealed her lips together with his. She widened her eyes in shock and tried to push him away but he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. Luckily the hall was deserted and no one was around except them. She could feel that her body no longer rejecting him and she finally gave in by kissing him back and wrapping her arms around his neck. After a few minutes, they broke the kiss and Cagalli dropped her arms from his neck. However, his arms remain around her waist.
"I miss you," he whispered huskily. His emerald eyes gazed deep into her amber eyes. She blushed and tried to look away but Athrun quickly held firm her chin. "Don't you feel the same?" he asked.
She looked down, staring at the floor instead of looking into his eyes. "I don't…I don't know…" she murmured.
"Please look at me," he said, lifting her face slowly. He noticed that she had two pink spots on both her cheeks. He thought that she looked very cute at the moment and wanted to kiss her again but he knew, by doing that they won't be solve the 'problem'.
"Could you please let go of me? I'm already late for my class," she changed the subject, put both of her palms at his chest to push him away. He caught one of her hands and kissed it. She became breathless by his action.
"Okay, I'll let you go this time as I'm already late for my class either. But believe me, after this I won't ever let you go!" he kissed her one last time and headed to his class. She just stood there, her glasses askew and she was speechless for a while before she quickly ran to her class.
"Tell me, why exactly were you late almost fifteen minutes this morning?" Mir asked Cagalli, munching on her fries. They were at the cafeteria for lunch. With them were Kira, Lacus, Dearka and Shiho.
"What? You were fifteen minutes late? I thought you made it to your class in time as I did mine. Besides, your class isn't that far away from the parking lot," Kira frowned. Cagalli almost choke on her soda. Then, her face suddenly became warm.
"Cagalli, why are you so red? Are you having a fever?" Shiho felt Cagalli's forehead. "Funny, your forehead doesn't feel warm".
Cagalli quickly shook her head. "I'm fine, don't worry about me. The reason that I was late because…" she stopped talking as she saw Athrun's making his way towards their table.
"Hey guys! Mind if I sit here?" he asked, his eyes seemed glued on Cagalli. She felt her heart was beating fast and she immediately stared at her food.
"Not at all, dude!" Dearka high-five Athrun and started pulling a chair beside him but Athrun already pulled a chair next to Cagalli. Everyone stopped eating and looked at him.
He just acted like nothing happened and started eating his food. "Why do you guys look at me like that?" he asked innocently. They all just shook their head and continue eating. Cagalli wanted to move her chair a little from Athrun but then she felt her hand being grabbed. She looked down and saw Athrun linked his fingers with hers. She tried to pull away but he gripped her hand firmly.
"Let go of my hand!" she whispered furiously, ignoring her blush.
"No!" he whispered back.
"Please Athrun," she begged.
"I've told you earlier, I won't ever let you go," he said, a little loud this time.
"What did you say just now?" Kira looked at him.
"Nothing. It's just that your sister a.k.a my girlfriend won't let me hold her hand," he said, grinning slyly at Cagalli. Everyone gasped and stared at both of them. Cagalli's eyes were wide in shock.
"Is it true that you and Athrun are going out together?" Lacus asked. Kira, Dearka, Mir and Shiho seemed to be waiting for her answer. Athrun just continue to smile devilishly at her.
Cagalli shook her head quickly. "No, no! Don't believe a word he said. I'm not his girlfriend!"
"WHAT?! YOU'RE ATHRUN'S GIRLFRIEND?!" Mia Campbell, Meyrin Hawke, Lunamaria Hawke and hundred more girls shrieking at the cafeteria. Apparently, they had heard what Athrun was saying. Athrun just nodded triumphantly at them.
"You can't be Athrun's girlfriend. You are too hideous for him!"
"Yeah, not to mention ugly too!"
"You must have cast a spell on him, you bitchy witch!"
The fan girls started calling her names, as they were angry at Athrun's statement.
"That does it!" Cagalli stood up and face the crazy crowd. "For your information, Athrun is my boyfriend! You should feel pity on yourself as he had chose ME, the hideous, ugly, bitchy witch instead of you all!" she shouted angrily. Just to make things worst for all his fan girls, she grabbed Athrun by the collar and kissed him hard on the lips.
It was Athrun's turn to widen his eyes before closing back and wrapped his arms around her. Everyone else, except those mad fan girls in the cafeteria clapped and cheered for them. "You go, girl!" Dearka whistled loudly.
Cagalli immediately broke the kiss, grab her bag and walked out of the cafeteria without a word.
"Cags, wait up!" Mir and Shiho called in unison. They started to chase after her when Kira stopped them.
"Just let her be. I think there is only one person that would solve this problem," he said, looking at Athrun and patted him on the shoulder.
Athrun, who was still in awe because of her bold action, quickly nodded his head. He started running after her; practically shoved the fan girls away from blocking his way.
