Chapter 1

"Squall! Where are you?" a girl shouts through the forest.

Squall is sitting by the river, not answering the girl's call.

"There you are. I've been looking for you, you know." the girl says when she's found Squall.

"Rinoa, will you please leave?" Squall asks.

"W- Why?" Rinoa asks startled.

"I just wanna be alone for a few moments, okay?" Squall explains.

"Oh... okay..." Rinoa says and leaves.

Squall throws a stone in the water.

"Why is love so difficult?" he whispers.

"You still got feelings for her?" a boy asks.

"I don't know..." Squall answers.

"I'm pretty sure you still do love her." the boy says smiling.

"Zell, shut up!" Squall says irritated.

"Woow, easy man!" Zell says.

Squall stands up.

Zell can see the anger in Squall's eyes.

"I- I'll leave." Zell says and leaves as fast as he can.

A few days later in Balamb Garden

"Squall acts strange the last few days..." Quistis says

"Yeah, he's certainly not himself anymore." Rinoa says.

"It seems that the 'dark side' has taken over him." Zell says.

"I haven't spoke to him lately, so I don't know..." Selphie says.

"He's comming!" Irvine warns.

"Hi Squall." Rinoa says when he's close to the group.

"Hi..." Squall says.

"What's wrong? You don't look so happy." Quistis asks.

"Nothing's wrong." Squall says.

"Then why aren't you happy?" Selphie asks.

Squall doesn't answer on that and walks further.

"I know." they hear Fujin say.

"What do you know?" Quistis asks.

"Problem... Squall." Fujin says.

"Tell us, please." Rinoa says.

Fujin starts to blush.

"Squall.... loves....not.... Rinoa..." Fujin tries.

"H- He doesn't love me?" Rinoa asks with tears in her eyes.

"Positive... He... loves.... Fujin..." Fujin says.

"What?!" the group says.

"W-why? Where did I go wrong?" Rinoa asks as she starts to cry.

"It'll be okay, girl." Irvine says to comfort Rinoa.

"No, it won't!" Rinoa says and runs away.

"Can't do anything about that..." Selphie says.

"Did he really say he loved you?" Quistis asks.

"Positive." Fujin says.

"He's nuts!" Zell says. "I'm gonna tell him he's mistaken!"

"Zell, don't!" Selphie says.

"Why not?!" Zell asks angrily.

"You can't stop feelings. You must leave him alone. Maybe he'll find out that Rinoa's still his number one choice... Maybe not...Maybe he does... But still. It's not something you must interfere!" Selphie says.

"Oh okay..."Zell says.

"Why did he leave me? And why Fujin?" Rinoa cries.

She's sitting on her bed, with a pillow in her arms.

Then there's a knock on the door.

"W-Who's there?" Rinoa asks and whipes away the tears.

"It's me, Squall." the person says.

"What do you want?!" Rinoa asks a little angry.

"I wanna tell you something." Squall says.

"You don't have to tell me you love Fujin!" Rinoa says.

"So... you already found out. I'm sorry I made you believe that I loved you." Squall says.

"Just go away! I don't wanna see you anymore!" Rinoa says.

"Okay..." Squall sighs.
