"Headmaster, the new transfer student is here." Xu said as she entered the headmaster's office.
"Good, bring him in." Cid stood up and walked to the other side of his desk. A crimson-haired boy walked in, wearing a Trabian SeeD uniform with a gunblade sheathed at his side. He walked up to the older man and saluted.
"Trabian transfer student number 35595, Sakaki Oyoshimo, pleasure to meet you." He said in a cold, firm tone.
Cid blinked, {Wow... straight to the point,} He held out his hand, "I'm Headmaster Cid Kramer. Pleasure to meet you too, Sakaki."
The newcomer shook his hand, never taking his eyes away from Cid's face.
Cid cleared his throat, "Well... do you need me to find someone to show you around?"
The boy looked down, "I saw the map... I'll find my way around."
The headmaster looked at his watch, "Ok then, the other students are at lunch right now, you should head there."
"Yes sir." He said before heading out.
{Hmm... this boy seems familar.}
~=~=~=~=~
"Yes... the best time of the day." Zell happily took a bite of his hotdog. He was suprised that they had some hotdogs today.
Quistis yawned looked at her watch. {Today's just dragging on forever...}
Squall took a drink of his water, "So, Irvine... how is your day?" He tried to make conversation.
Irvine blinked, "Squall breaking the silence? That's a laugh..."
"What? I'm allowed to speak."
"Yeah, Irvy. Even Squall likes to hear other people's voices..."
{Why did I ever say anything...} He thought to himself. "... Whatever."
Quistis looked at Squall, "Well, that lasted long."
Zell reached into his pocket and pulled out some change, "I'm gonna get a drink." He walked over to the soda machine and heard someone sit down behind him. iSounds like the discliplinary committee has arrived... wonder how long I get to keep my drink./i He grabbed his drink and walked back to his table and noticed half of his chips were gone. "... Who took my chips?"
Selphie wiped her fingers with a napkin, "Irvine took 'em!" The cowboy blinked.
"Well, well. What do we have here?" They heard Seifer's distant voice.
"Looks like a recruit for the committee, ya know." Raijin said as he sat next to the boy in the seat that Seifer usually sat in.
"NEWCOMER." Fujin took another seat at the table. The redhead continued to look at his plate, completely ignoring the others.
Seifer sat in the last seat. "Why would you want to sit at our table?"
The teen continued to look down, his hair was covering his eyes. "No one else was sitting here..."
"That's 'cause it's MY table!" Seifer snapped.
Sakaki got up and grabbed his plate, still looking away from the others. "... Whatever." He started to walk away before Fujin stepped in his way. He turned around to find Raijin. He turned the last available direction...
"What did you say to me!?" The blonde said, standing in his way.
{I can see this will be a fun Garden to go to...} He thought to himself
"Enough!" Quistis's voice ringed in Fujin's ears. The four turned to her. "Why are you picking on the new guy? He didn't know that you always sat there."
Seifer looked at the surronded boy, "You wouln't be so lucky next time... Let's go." The three walked out of the cafeteria.
"Why don't you sit with us..." She looked at his ID, "...Sakaki."
Sakaki looked at Quistis's table. He locked eyes with Selphie for a second, "I'll be fine." He walked to a different table and sat down.
{... Who is that boy? He looks familar.} Selphie thought to herself as Quistis sat back down.
"Well... that was unusual." Squall said, looking at the boy, who was still wearing a Trabian uniform.
"Yes... I gave him an offer to join us, but he didn't take it."
"... What's wrong with us?" Irvine took a quick look at the newcomer.
"He doesn't like people," Selphie remembered him suddenly, "Really quiet, stays out of the way... You'd get along great, Squall."
"... Whatever." Squall and Quistis said in unison. Irvine, Zell, Selphie, and Quistis laughed.
Sakaki walked by with his empty tray. {... Her perfume smells heavenly.} He sighed and he put his tray away and walked out of the cafeteria.
Selphie watched him walk out of the room. "... Is Sakaki going to school here?" She thought out loud.
"...Who?" Irvine broke her thinking.
"That boy, his name's Sakaki. Did he transfer here?"
"Guess so..." Squall took a bite of his hotdog.
"The ID and uniform are from Trabia... must've just came in today." Selphie said, taking some of Zell's chips.
"I saw you that time!" Zell grabbed Selphie's drink.
~=~=~=~=~
{... Who was that guy?} Sakaki thought to himself as he swung his red gunblade deep into his enemy Grat. It let out a yell of pain. {What's so special about a table?} He pulled his gunblade out of the monster, then drove it into it's stomach-ish area. {Who was that girl that stopped them?} He pulled the gunblade's trigger, blowing a hole in the monster's back. It fell over, dead. {And why was she acting so nice to me?} He started walking further into the training center. {Is she Selphie's friend? Should have I joined them? Did they feel insulted by my rejection? Should I worry about those other three people?} A T-Rexaur yelled out in fury nearby. He ran over to the monster's location, to find it fighting three people. Some guy in black with a blue gunblade, that girl that helped him earlier, and {... Selphie}. He stood there and watched the three fight the monster. The man with the gunblade gave it a swift swing in the throat, causing it to fall. Sakaki sighed, {I'll never be able to get close to her...} He sheathed his gunblade and walked away.
"... Isn't that the new guy?" Squall watched him as he went around the corner.
"Yeah... He looks kinda lonely." Quistis looked over.
"We should ask him to join us!" Selphie said, as cheerful as always.
"No," Squall put his leadership to the test, "The three of us are fine."
"Well, meanie, I'm gonna join him." Selphie put her nunchaku on her belt and walked in his direction.
{Note to self... Selphie always gers her way.} He took a step in the same direction, "... Whatever." He turned around and started walking.
Quistis looked in the two directions, then followed Squall.
{Do I have a fear of all people, or is it just her?} Sakaki thought to himself. He scooped some water out of the small pond-ish thing and rubbed it on his face.
"Hi Sakaki! Remember me?" He heard a cheerful voice behind him.
Sakaki jumped up and turned around, {Selphie!? She remembers me!?} He regained his composer, "H-Hi... Selphie."
She looked into his startled eyes, "What's the matter?"
He looked into the same calm, cheerful eyes that have been driving him insane for years, "... Nothing." He turned around and started walking.
"Wait! I wanted to train with you!" She said as she walked up next to him.
He looked at his watch, 10:00 "I'm done training for now..." Sakaki didn't dare look at her.
"Oh," Selphie sighed. {He's always keeping people away from himself,} She thought, {Like Squall.}
He caught another whiff of the brunette's perfume, {Selphie, you tease me with every part of your body... without even trying!} He picked up his pace.
"Wait! Hold up!" Selphie chased after him, who was still picking up speed.
"Selphie... don't do this to me." He thought out loud, {Crap! Did she hear me?} He started running.
She gave up chasing him and watched him run off. "... What did I do?"
==========
Finally, I have achieved the common goal of all FFVIII fic writers... I became a character! Oh yeah, back to my usual string of narrating questions that dully ends all of my chapters.
What's with the new guy? Why is he afraid of Selphie. Why does everyone compare him to Squall? Will he have another meeting with the discliplinary committee? Review my fic and tell me what you think, I'm taking suggestions for things for the characters (that aren't Sakaki) to do, and I'm in deep need for a story title.
