Hello all. I've decided to write a Zell and Selphie because I can. Read review No flames and italic is thought in Zell's POV. If any one is OOC I'm sorry.
Deep Within
Zell sighed resting his chin on his hand. Class was all ways boring but it was even more boring now that he had class with the new Instructor… what's her name. "Okay I'll admit I forgot her name, but either which way she is still the boringist woman on the planet." He heard some one else sigh in annoyance he looked over to his left to see that it was Seifer who gave him this weird look.
'What' he mouthed.
He simply shook his head then looked away.
"And there will be a test next week." Said the nameless Instructor
"Test? On what how boring this class is?" "Hey Squall." He whispered elbowing the silent teen that was sitting to the right of him.
"Hmmm?"
"Did you take any notes I zoned out."
"No."
"Seifer?"
"I don't take notes."
"Oh man." He sighed.
About that time the door opened and Selphie came running in. "I'm so sorry Instructor Fusion, I had to show this new kid around, and I have a note to prove that and-"
"I've told you another tardy and I was giving you detention for a month."
"But…"
"That's not fair!" yelled Zell who stood up from his desk. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Zell." Said Squall.
"Sit down and shut up." Said Seifer.
"It's not fair. First you sit there and lecture on and on about something extremely boring then you give us a test now you are punishing Selphie for no reason and…"
At detention…
"Hey Zell…"
"Yeah Selphie?"
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Defending me… it was really sweet of you."
He blushed. "Your… um… welcome hehe."
"Are you going to the dance?"
"Dance? What dance?"
"The spring dance duh. So are you going or not?"
"I wasn't planning on it."
"Oh." She sighed sadly. "So… why didn't you want to go?"
"I don't know." He said shrugging his shoulders.
She chuckled.
"What?"
"I had all ways thought that you'd be the kind of guy that was into going to dances."
"I don't really like them."
"Why not?"
"I… can't dance…"
She eyed him oddly. "Oh." She said in a skeptic tone of voice.
He opened his mouth to say something when the Instructor walked in.
"You two may leave now." She said.
He got up and began to leave.
"Wait Zell!" Selphie called.
"Hmm?" he asked when he stopped.
"I was wondering if you'd go to the dance with me."
"Huh, uh yeah sure." He said blushing again.
She smiled. "Good well I guess I'll met you at your dame say 8ish."
"Sure."
"Okay, bye." She said waving then left.
Zell quietly began to walk back to his dorm.
"Hey Zell!" Called Irvine.
He stopped and looked back the brown haired cowboy. "What?"
"I'm going to met up with Squall for lunch want to come with?"
"I-"
"Please, I have to have some one to talk to."
"Fine." He sighed.
"Thank you."
The two began to walk to the cafeteria. "I was never quite sure if Irvine was his friend or not, it all ways had seem to be that the cowboy wanted him around when ever it benefited him the most."
"Oh no." sighed Irvine when he noticed that Seifer and his group were all ready in the cafeteria.
"Seifer, another piece of questionable company. 50 of the time he was okay but the other fifty he torments me."
"Hi." Said Seifer flatly.
"Apparently his in one of his nicer moods. Maybe he's bipolar or something."
"Yo." Said Irvine walking over to the table where Squall was mostly ignoring Seifer because he didn't really know him that well.
Zell followed not wanting to speak with Seifer.
Squall looked up at him and gave him a half smile.
"Squall was friendly but not at the same time."
"Hello how are you today." Said Zell.
He shrugged. "…Fine…"
"Talking to him though was like pulling teeth."
Squall handed him a piece of paper.
"Eh?"
"New orders."
"We hadn't had a mission since the Sorceress incident."
"Cool what's the job?"
"Just read the damn paper."
He glared at him and began to read. 'SeeDs, your mission is to escort and protect a young girl. More details will be given later.' "That's it?"
He handed him a picture. "This is her."
He looked at it the girl looked only to be about twelve she had sort blonde hair and blue eyes. For some reason he felt uneasy.
"Something wrong?" asked Irvine.
"No."
"You sure. You seem spacey."
"I'm fine."
Squall sighed and decided to continue telling him about the girl. "Her name is Lidia."
"Lidia." Zell spoke softly.
"Are you sure you're okay?" asked Irvine.
"Yeah I'm fine." He handed the papers back to Squall. "I'm just tired that's all. I guess I'll see ya later." He said getting up.
Normally things never bothered Zell but for some reason that picture did. He quickly walked to his dorm pushing the thoughts of the picture far back into his mind.
"Zell."
He turned around to see Selphie.
"Are you okay? You seem upset."
"I'm fine…"
"Zell I"
"I said I'm fine I'm just tired. I'll see you later okay." He said smiling.
"Okay…" she said watching him walk away.
