Emma placed all the books she held in order correctly. She had nothing else to do since it wasn't so busy this day, and it was also her job. It seemed like all the books were familiar to her, as if just by touching them she knew their title. While doing this, she had a lot on her mind.
"...(Why am I doing this? It's not like it was my destiny or fate to be known as "the girl from the library with pigtails"... At least,I still work for Garden... Thugh I'm not of much use here.....)..."Emma thought silently while she ran her index finger up and down the spine absentmindedly.
Her other thoughts started to kick in. Like how she met Zell Dincht, and howshe felt about him. She tried to get the words to him that she was crazy about him.
Yet there seemed to be another complication: She sensed she had been showing him the way she felt for him, and that he didn't like her back which made her feel lonely and unliked. It seemed to hurt, it was like being pushed away from one of your friends. But only this time, it was her best friend. She wanted to break the walls around his heart. Emma shook her head feeling failure.
She knew he was a SeeD and that he had fis duties, but she did want to know him better. And it seemed like he was overoccupied in his work. And that made her impaitent and her heart ache.
Her deep thinking was inturrputed by her friend, Andreia.
"Emma, are you okay? You've been holding that book for over five minutes now and you seem to look a bit sad, even from behind."Andreia asked, looking a bit worried by her friend's actions.
"Well...,"She pulled Andreia into the bookshelf behind that one."...There's this one guy... He-"
"Let me guess, he seems to be ignoring you, which really may not be the problem, but, you do look forward to getting him and telling him all that you've been feeling for him."Andreia seemed to know everything when it came for her friends in a problem. That's why Emma could always trust her for her problems.
"Um...,"Emma sulked her head, but lifted her head again and started to nod."Yes."
"Okay, just tell me his name, so I know I'm seeing him if I see him."
"His name is Zell... I think that's enough you need to know since there can't be any other Zell around this Garden."
"Well, I'll keep it a secret. I'll work if you need me to."
The library door opened, and Emma went to it. As if it were a coincidence, it was Zell.
"And what are you doing here?"Emma asked looking up at him."Do you need something?"She winked at Andreia, which set Andreia back to work.
"Not really, but,"he paused, for her full attention." Um, would y-you, well, l-like to go to the Garden festival with me?"
She thought for a moment.
"(...I guess I should give him a chance... From there I could talk to him there, but I hope I can trust him not to go anywhere... But at least I'll be with him... I guess I was wrong about him.) Oh, sure. I'll look really forward to it."
The intercom went on with a message.
"Will the following please come to the office, Quitis Trepe, Zell Dincht, Irvine Kinneas, Selphie Tilmitt, and Rinoa Heartilly, I repeat... Will the following please come to the office, Quistis Trepe, Zell DIncht, Irvine Kinneas, Selphie Tilmitt, and Rinoa Heartilly... That is all, thank you."Squall said clearly.
"Well, I've gotta go now, see ya later, Emma!"He said starting to run off.
"Yeah, bye..."she said in a low depressed whisper. She wanted to run off with him.
"So, he the one you talkin' about?"Andreia said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah,"She said taking a glance at her friend, then back at the door."I can only hope."She held her silver necklace with a tiny diamond close.
The Garden Festival was only a few days away. She didn't know what she would do that night, what she would wear, what she was going to say to him, if she could do it, and settle the avoidance.
