*Okay, so I'm tying something new here. Please stick with it. This is set
before the game, and the rest of the chapters will probably be based
loosely around what happens in it. I'll have to change some bits though. If
you spot any mistakes in this please tell me. This story was up before, but
I'm rearranging it, because it didn't make much sense how it was, and I had
no where to go.
Please R&R. Constructive criticism welcome.*

"I promise."
The voice echoed round and round his head, swirling, making him dizzy. Funny thing was, he'd believed her. How stupid can you get?
"I promise. I won't leave you."
Yeah right! Seifer slammed his head back against his pillow. Like he'd never heard that before. Thing is, like an idiot, he'd believed her.
"I promise. I'm not going anywhere. I don't want to, anyway. I want to stay with you."
Uh huh! That's why she left. Because she wanted to stay with him. Riiiight. He didn't mean physically leave. She was always around. But she started to drift away from him. Her work took over. It was more important to her than him. He saw less and less of her. And when she was with him she was always so detached. Not like she used to be. So passionate, so full of life, so open. Now she was cold.
So cold she broke her promise.
So cold she forgot to talk to him. He'd had to do something. Anything. To make her remember he was still there.
So they ended up fighting. And she said something he'd never forget.
"I don't love you anymore!"
It hurt so much. But he couldn't let her see it. He didn't want her to see that she'd hurt him. So he covered it up. If she could be cold so could he. If she could act like she didn't care, so could he.
So he lied.
"News flash, Instructor, I was never in love with you, anyway. I was just bored." He practically spat the words out, sneering over the word "Instructor". It was the first time he had used that word. It was the reason she'd left him.
She started, as if she'd been hit, when he said those words.
"Don't say that, don't say things you don't mean." She whispered. She'd gone very white. Her eyes seemed larger, and for a fraction of a second, they appeared vulnerable, innocent. But his next words put a stop to that.
"But I do mean it. I even had a bet on with Rajin that I could make you fall in love with me and that I'd be your first. You know what I mean?" His voice, amazingly, came out sounding steely, as smooth and deadly as the blade of Hyperion.
Her eyes flashed. "Well, you lost that, didn't you? Because you weren't my first. Someone else beat you to it!" Her voice was challenging.
There was a throbbing in his chest. He hadn't meant it! He was only trying to hide his pain. Somehow, he managed to challenge her back. "Who?" His voice coming out low, and dangerous.
There was a moments hesitation, and then, in a voice softer than a summer breeze, came her answer. "Squall."
She looked up at him, seeming torn. Then, without another word, she turned and fled.
All Seifer could do was call after her, "Quistis!"
She never even turned round.
*Gasps dramatically. Does that mean Quistis did the dirty with Squall, and Seifer! Read on to find out! And don't forget to review!*
