Summary:Squall and his family just moved to Balamb. He thought his new life would be peaceful; meeting his old pals and turning over a new leaf until he met her. Rinoa Heartilly, the girl who puts noise in noisy and the girl who owns Squall's room. But there was one problem, she was a lost spirit and he was the only one who could see her and she isn't planning to leave without a fight.

Roommate

"Is everything in the truck, hon?" The voice of the forty-year-old man traveled in Squall's ears and out. Glancing up the window of the second floor, Squall thought his father's head looked like a bobble item.

"Yes dear!" Her mom shouted. The seventeen-year-old teen couldn't help but smile. Finally, they were leaving the noisy and busy life in Esthar. He'd been living there for 5 years and until now he couldn't imagine how he survived the lifestyle they had there.

He used to sleep at 12 midnight, it was the only time of the day that Squall could call serenity, and wake up at 6 because of the noise. Ellone, his sister, would also do the same. It was the only time of the day where people get to go to sleep. They were home schooled ever since they moved to Esthar but it would be finally over after they get settled in Balamb.

"Hey Squall!" The brunette woke up from his thoughts with the angelic voice of his sister. He turned and saw the raven beauty signaling him to come quick. "We're living this dump, hurry!" He jog-ran to the car his family was in and sat next to his sister.

"Everyone in?" The man with long hair asked, adjusting the rear view mirror to get a quick look at his two beloved children.

"Yeah!" Squall, Ellone and Raine said in unison. Laguna smirked and started the engine. He maneuvered the car out of their old driveway and into the road.

"In just a matter of hours will be noise free" Their father announced. Ellone and his mom celebrated with his father while he just smiled quietly. Though he didn't show what he felt, he was really happy inside. He just has difficulty expressing anything he feels, even if it was love or anger. No one could really tell, he was just quiet, he would often distant his self from others but never to Ellone. Only Ellone could tell if he was angry, sad or happy. She was the closest human being to Squall and he loves her so.

Ellone glanced at the smiling Squall and said, "Wow, you're smiling?" The brunette immediately erased his smile. "I'm just kidding" Ellone said.

Squall smiled again. "Better inform the media" He joked. That made Ellone giggle and punch his brother playfully on the shoulder. Setting their eyes on the road, the family happily left the place they've never grown accustomed to.

"So you want me to go to that house" The brown headed guy said proudly, trying hard to cover his nervousness under his gruff voice. He pointed at the white house behind the gate. It was not like those haunted houses you see on TV, it was a normal house. But it wasn't that normal, neighbors say that every night, especially around 12 midnight, the lights on the second floor specifically the only room of the right wing would turn on and off and after two minutes it would stop. The house was abandoned 3 months ago but the management of the subdivision is still maintaining it. They said with just a rumor to scare trespassers, especially naughty children and teens.

"Yeah" His friend said with the known 'dare' tone. And flipped his blonde hair out of his eyes.

"Come on Zone get it over with, I want to go home" A blonde girl complained. She propped her arms in the handle of her bicycle in boredom.

"Shut up Rikku!" The pressured Zone said. The blonde glared at the man and dared to punch him but she knew better than to get into a fight with him.

"Come on, I'm dying with premature boredom!" The red headman shouted; his energetic ego suddenly disappearing. The thrill that he was feeling a while ago just vanished and was replaced with a bored mood.

"I'm really getting bored; we've been here for almost two hours Zone" Rikku complained once more.

"Just do it Zone so we could get the hell out of here, the patrolling bodyguards might see us here" Zidane mentioned angrily.

"Fine, fine!" Zone dismounted his bike and climbed over the fairly tall gate of the house. Reno and Rikku's energy suddenly came back when Zone got closer and closer to the front door. The dare to Zone was to stay inside the abandoned house for five minutes and he wins 500 Gils and if he loses he pays each of them 170 Gils.

Zone opened the unlocked door, and entered the poorly lit living room. There was no furniture just an empty space. Zone hesitantly sat on the floor as he waited for the time to pass. Only the ticking of the wall clock and his heartbeat was the only thing his ears could depict. Though the almost silent room was deafening he has to stay there to win the loot.

The teen sighed nervously, scanning the room. He glanced at the wall clock, it was 11:57, and he had to stay there for five minutes. It felt like five minutes had already passed. He quivered a little when he felt cold wind passing through his body. As beads of cold sweat formed in his forehead his heartbeat became rapid. He closed his eyes hoping that when he opens them everything would be over.

….Tick, Tock, Tick, to….

His heart thumped faster inside his chest, when the sound of the ticking clock stopped. He opened his brown eyes and bravely looked at the device, the seconds' hand had stop moving.

'It's really getting hot in here' he nervously said to his self, feeling more sweat form in places he was sure he placed deodorant on. He closed his eyes once again, praying 'The Apostle's Creed' over and over. Even his thoughts were trembling as he recites the prayer. His prayer became vocal when he heard light footsteps; though they were almost soundless Zone heard it.

His eyes suddenly shot wide open when he heard a ball rolling down the stairs. His prayer became louder and faster. He stood up and leaned helplessly on the wall as a ghostly voice resounded in his ear.

"Why are you here?" It said.

"…I believe in God the father almighty…." He spoke the prayer at a fast tempo. Then it was gone, he heard the clock ticking again and the normal temperature returned. He sighed with his eyes still closed.

"Come on Zone, five minutes is over!" He heard Rikku's voice. He felt as ease when he heard her voice.

'Finally' He thought. He opened his eyes.

"…Boo…" That word made Zone literally jumped out from his spot. There was a floating figure in front of him. It was transparent but he was sure it was a girl. It was headless, she was holding her head with her right hand and she was floating. Zone stormed out the house horrified, screaming his prayer. He jumped over the gate still screaming, mounted his bike and rode off.

The three laughed at the mortified teen, as they followed his silhouette down the dark road, the lamppost in front of the house started flickering and so as the adjacent lampposts.

"I think we better go" Rikku suggested with a nervous tone.

"…ye…Yeah" Reno added. The three rode their bikes at a rapid speed. It was better to go now than to wait for something to fright them.

She giggled menacingly when she saw the look on their faces…it was pure fright. She really made a good job this time, if only she could pat her shoulder for a job well done.

"That's what you get when you mess with the wrong girl" She said with a smile on her face. But her joyous celebration quickly faded, when she realized the sound of the ticking clock was her only companion…again. She looked at the road with sadness in her eyes she was alone once more.

Glancing up the clock, it was already 12:30. Usually she would be wondering around the neighborhood trying to occupy her self with the depression that was slowly consuming her. It was no secret that everyone was scared of her; she knew that. She would often hear mean things about her like she killed people and kidnapped kids, and even if she rejected all of those it still hurt. She was the topic of every teenager's conversation in the park, and she was the reason why nobody ever bought the house again.

She walked through the window and out the gate. She felt like crying, being alone for 3 months was hard. With no one to talk to, the girl felt like she wanted to die…but that couldn't happen because she was already a spirit, she even has no clue how she died, where her body is and where are her relatives. She knows that a spirit would usually wonder in the place they most likely spend most of there time, a good example is the house, as for her she woke up in the room in the second floor.

"Maybe I used to live here" She thought bitterly. "But why aren't there anyone living here? There must be at least a family that once cared for me" Her voice fainted as a thought of having no family crossed her mind. Those were the questions that kept on puzzling her, until now she still wants to know if someone did care for her.

She sat on the swing of the park. Swinging her self lightly. It was dark, but she was used to it, though she was still scared of ghosts even if she was considered to be one. Sighing heavily, the young woman looked around. She had been there always, something about that park made her feel serene and even for a few minutes she could forget all about her problems.
