Rinoa Heartilly stared doubtfully at her reflection in the mirror. The SeeD
uniform looked good on a hanger, but on her it looked well, let's just say
not as good. She turned from side to side to look at herself all around and
make sure everything looked good. Well at least as good as it could get.
The door opened and in walked, Angel Parker. Rinoa's roommate and best friend. Angel was an old friend of Selphie's from Trabia Garden and had transferred to Balamb a few months before the missiles destroyed it. She had only been enrolled into Balamb for a few days when Headmaster Cid sent her off to do her tests to become a SeeD. She had achieved it on the first try, which Cid had thought naturally.
"Hey Rin." Angel set her knapsack down with a small sigh.
"Uh oh." Rinoa turned away from looking in the mirror. She knew what that sigh meant. She took a few steps closer to her friend before speaking. "What's wrong?"
Angel pulled her long blonde hair into a ponytail. Her tranquil green eyes pierced through Rinoa as she looked up at her. "It's getting boring leveling up in the Training Center. I wanna go out, yanno? Go on a mission."
Rinoa laughed slightly. "I think I've had enough missions to last me a lifetime. I'm happy just chillin' out right now."
Angel got up and walked into the bathroom. "Well you have Squall to keep you occupied." She explained splashing cold water on her face. "Know what I mean?"
Rinoa sauntered over toward the bathroom door and peeked in. She sported her usual stance; Arms crossed and leaning to one side. "I guess." She suddenly snapped her fingers and dashed over to Angel. "I know WHO can keep YOU occupied-"
"Rinoa! No. Don't bring him up again.I don't wanna talk about him." She held out her hands as if she was trying to physically push away her mental thoughts of him.
Rinoa retreated. "Ok, ok, I'm sorry. It's just that I hate seeing two of my best friends suffer." She turned and walked out of the bathroom, leaving Angel to her thoughts. Even though Angel seemed to have a lot of friends, she never really let any of them get to close to her.
Angel heard the bathroom door click shut behind her. "I'm not suffering." She muttered, halfway trying to convince herself. She looked at her "so- called perfect face" in the mirror and took down her hair. It fell neatly down her shoulders, loosly clinging to the sides of her face.
Tonight was a huge ball for all the SeeDs. Obviously, only full-fledged SeeDs were allowed to attend. Angel wasn't too hyped about it like she was a few weeks ago. Things chance, shit happens, and people break up. That's the way things are and that's the way life goes. You can't change it and if it happens once-what's the point in trying again?
Maybe that was Angel's problem. She gave up on things too easily.
KNOCK-KNOCK
"Angel, why don't you come out and get your dress on?" Rinoa's voice sounded muffled from the other side of the door.
Angel wiped an unconscious tear that had cascaded down her cheek. The break- up was her decision, it was silly for her to be crying. "You go ahead and get dressed first." She answered.
Rinoa shifted her weight from one side to the other. "I'm already dressed, I just need to get in there and do my make-up." She answered biting her lip. She didn't want Angel to change her mind about going to this thing tonight.
"Oh.ok." Angel and Rinoa put off that they're great friends, but Angel never shares anything with Rinoa. She always hid her emotions and feelings from everyone. She had learned not to let them get to her, but it was harder this time. She really had strong feelings for HIM.
The door opened and Angel turned away from Rinoa to pass her. "There ya go."
Rinoa silently watched Angel walk away from her problems once again. She shook her head and entered the bathroom to do her make-up. Rinoa couldn't help Angel until she admitted that she needed Rinoa's help.
