[A/N =D Hi, um… okay, just read and review please? And I'm finishing up on the next chapter coz' this ones pretty short, more of a prologue… and the next one will be longer. And the words in italic mean thoughts. Thanks! =)]

Tears nearly falling from her eyes, she turned away from the two. She was an angel, he was a lion. What was she? A failure that's what.

She gazed at them when her tears had faded a little. She watched the couple embrace. She longed to be like that, she longed for someone to hold her and make her worries go away, she wanted to feel comfort you could only get from that, she wanted to be free from her loneliness.

Walking away, she wiped the tears from her eyes and thoughts that made her wonder.

I guess I'm a natural failure. Failed as an instructor and now failed... as everything else there is. I don't think I want love just because it's from him... I'm just... so alone... Why was I born like this? Why was I born Quistis Trepe? I wonder... if there's anyone out there... anyone, who was meant to stop my pain... to... love me. Where are you? Are you real? Come on... I want to be saved.

Watching the same pair, another one's eyes were on the couple. He ran a hand through his blonde hair and slammed his fist into his hand. He put his hands into his gray trechcoat's pockets and decided that even though... even though, he acted cool, maybe... he needed to be liked, loved, too.

He walked away his head swirling with thoughts.

Damn you, Rinoa! Squall, why did you have to be alive? I wish I could hate you both but I can't. I want to hate you! Then this wouldn't feel so bad. You had to be nice, if you were mean and awful then hating you would be so easy... I guess I can't blame you for liking someone, Rinoa... but now... I'm alone. Being dumped isn't a good feeling... now I feel like I'm not good enough for anyone... Hyne, this sucks... I guess I'm not good enough for anyone, really... I guess Seifer Almasy, was just not meant to be liked.

Quistis walked away slowly, her head facing the ground.

She dared not look at anyone she passed for fear that they'd see her so sad.

Then, suddenly, she fell to the floor with a thud. She looked up and saw Seifer staring blankly back at her.

"Oh, Sorry um… I mean, Sorry, I wasn't looking." He said apologetically. Then his eyes traveled somewhere else.

"Ah... I'm fine. I wasn't either for that matter." She said and adjusted her glasses. She noticed Seifer was staring at something in the distance. She shook her head.

She didn't dislike him, she was just wary of him; he was still Seifer. Even though Ultimecia was messing with his head before, he had to have a certain personality just to believe her.

"I'll be going now." She said curtly and left him. He barely heard her; he was still staring at Squall and Rinoa.

When he turned she was gone.
