Uh, my first Vlll fic, so be a little nice please. But be honest too. Zell is my fav character, but I'm sad that he has no one, so I did him a little favor. So here it is.
Zell stayed at the garden, tried to stay out of everybody's way. He saw a lot of new people, a lot of new faces. But he was still a teen, but he wanted to settle down with someone. No one would've seen that in him, but he wanted to hold someone at night more than anything. Anything he ever wanted. But he'd had never be a ladies man like Irvine, so he envied him in that way. In a weird way. Girls learned to like him, learned to love him. Zell had never fallen in love before, he was still a virgin. Wasn't a complete loser, he had kissed someone before. But only on a dare in his first year of SeeD.
He figured it wasn't his personality; he wasn't a bad guy to get along with. He was pretty easy to approach and talk to. He liked rock music, which wasn't a popular choice among the pretty preppy girls. He was into the cute punky girls anyway; preppies didn't give him a second look anyway. He liked girls who showed their individuality and uniqueness in anything that they wear. Chicks like that were hard to find like that at the garden, only girls with the I.Q. of -7.
'Too bad' he thought, as he made his way to the cafeteria to get a hot dog. Or at least try. Once he entered, he noticed the line was short. Unusual.
"Maybe they're already sold out' a thought shot across his mind, but he got in line anyway.
One by one, inch by inch, he made his way to the counter.
"You're in luck today, Zell." The cafeteria lady knew his name by heart by the countless times he lost his temper from being so close to getting a hotdog, then being sold out. "Last one; it must be your lucky day."
The hot dog was placed in his hand, and he was speechless. The first time in years, he finally got a hotdog. It must be his lucky day. "YES!" He jumped up and did a little victory dance. "Oo-ooo" She sang as he swung his hips.
The kids behind him all groaned and left the line. During his victory dance, he felt his self bump something from behind. He quickly turned around to see who it was and apologize. He stared down at a girl who was on the floor, with a hotdog lying on the floor next to her. She looked up at his scowling.
"Thanks a lot, idiot! You made me drop my hot dog. Now I have to get another fuckin' one!"
Zell was speechless. Twice in one day, in one hour, in one five minute increment. He stared down at a beauty. She wore a black skirt, with black tights, and short black boots. Her forest green shirt cut across her shoulders and the long sleeves flared out at the end. To match, she had forest green streaks through her short choppy brown hair. A side part caused her bangs to cover up her left eye. Adding a nose piercing on the right side of her nose. She had to most deep, dark brown deer eyes.
"Well! Aren't you going to help me!" She yelled up at him.
Zell snapped back and grabbed her hand to help her up. She brushed herself off and took his hotdog, then took a bite.
"H-Hey! What do you think you're doing!" He had finally said something to her.
"Hey..." She mumbled with the hot dog bite still in her mouth. She pointed at him and then swallowed. "Shut up. You made me drop mine so it's only fair."
"But it's the last hotdog of the day!" He told this mystery chick.
"Tell it to the judge, buddy, 'cause I don't want to hear that crap! So stop whining."
He watched her finish the hotdog in front of his face. This looked like she did that intentionally. So he started to walk out of the cafeteria, but she stopped him.
"Hey, kid…"
"I'm not a kid! I'm probably older than you are!" He told her. "And…I have a name."
She crossed her arms; it seemed she was getting irritated. "Okay, so what is your name?"
He turned completely around so he could face her. "Zell. Zell Dincht."
She laughed a bit.
"What's so funny!" He asked her crossing his arms as well.
"Your name, that's what." She confessed, and her tone seemed to lighten up. "What kinda of name is Dincht?"
He was starting to get pissed. "Whatever. I don't have time for this." He started to walk off again.
"Hey, whoa, hey!" She started to run to run up to him, and walk beside him. "I'm only kidding! Only kidding!"
They started to walk out of the cafeteria, but he started to say something to her once they got outside the Quad.
He looked over to her. "What do you want?"
"Don't you wanna know my name?" She asked.
He rolled his eyes. "What's your name?" He asked.
"Pearl. Pearl Cambria." She told him.
Her name reminded him of one of his favorite bands. (AN: Ya'll know what band that is, dontchya?)
"Nice name." He complimented her.
"I know, it's pretty sweet, ain't it?" She smiled at him.
He chuckled a little bit. "Why were you following me?"
"Because you're the only guy that has given me his hotdog."
He smiled, he had forgotten.
"Also," She continued. "You're the only one that'll talk to me. All the other fuckers around here won't take a second glance at me"
"Why?' He didn't understand.
"Why?" She repeated. "Look at me!"
So he did. She was a little shorter than he thought. She was very filled out in the chest are, but had the curves of an hourglass. Just how he liked it. Long lean legs for her height. She was fuckin' beautiful.
"Yeah?" He looked down at the ground. "You're beautiful I don't get it"
She laughed in a condescending way. "Ha! You're too cute. Don't you see, I'm different."
"So? You don't like being different?" He asked her looking up at her face.
She smiled and took a good look at Zell. "Ya know, you're not such a bad guy. Do you wanna meet up later?"
Zell was shocked, taken back a little. Pearl was very upfront and forward. All he could do was nod.
"Good, it's a date. Meet me here at eight, tonight." She turned around and walked away. "Bye." She gave a little wave.
He gave a small wave back.
Okay that's it; you can give me a little helpful flame please. Oh, if you like Vll, I have a story on that too. Any who, give me some ideas what you would like to see in the next chapter. Cuz I would appreciate it, and I would use it if I like the idea. Well, PEACE OUT!
