Nida's Journal and/or diary
(first chapter...)
6.30 am. One of those too-early-in-the-morning people in the cafeteria. Glad to be like that. Hate it when the "famous" people show up, sorta. Nobody notices me anyway. Just want to drink steaming coffee and eat croissant, and be done with breakfast. Then face another aggravating day.
6.35 am. Damn. Quistis and Xu spotted me. Decides then to sit with me. Ugh. So that's why people think I'm gay... Must not be mad... they're my friends... breathe... okay, they're getting near.
Quistis: Good morning, Nida! Mind if we sit with you?
Me: (seemingly miffed, but they must have assumed that it's because of the fly on my cereal bowl.) Oh, no, go ahead.
Xu: Glad we decided to have breakfast early. Sometimes it just gets so crowded here... So, what are you people gonna do today?
Quistis: (sighs) Even if it's a Saturday, still gotta work. I have to tutor a bunch of junior classmen, then have to prepare the written exams, and so on...
Xu: I'm just gonna introduce some new students here... I'm free in the afternoon! So, if you have the time, Quisty, you wanna go to the mall?
Quistis: Sure!...that is, if I have the time...(notices me, sulking. Whoo boy. What a miraculous morning.) Oh, btw, Nida! What are you gonna do all day?
Me: (chewing on croissant) Wha? Oh... the usual... sulk in the quad, or library, or in dorm, or wherever my feet take me.
Xu: (laughs) Well, good luck Nida! When if you have the time, wanna come to the mall with us?
Me: Oh, sure... Well, off I go to the adventure that is my life...(stands up)
Quistis: Okay, good luck...
7.35 am. Just came out of Quad, after being forced out by idiot Garden Festival Commitee. What a bunch of dorks.
7.36 am. Have just considered joining the Garden Festival Commitee.
7.37 am. Laughs at own psychotic idea. Hmmm. Better go to the library... Might find another issue of Occult Fan... or finally read the Almanac of the Uncanny.
7.45 am. Finally reached Library, after being challenged by Triple Triad card geeks. Got an Elvoret and Quistis card. hmph. Fantasizes on when someday there'll be a Nida card. Laughs at that stupid thought.
7.46 am. Yeeeaaaah! Have got stack of Occult Fans 1-6! Also got Almanac of Uncanny! Must now find a secluded corner in Library... There we go.
7.48 am. Magazines are very interesting... enjoyed them very much. And--- wow, who's that? She's pretty.
7.49 am. Have just realized that pretty girl is Ellone Loire. Gosh, it's her! Always wanted to know her. Quistis always tells me that she's very,very sisterly and such.(hmph... but she never introduced me to her or anythang... damn. mental note: give her a piece of my mind... or not.)
Wow! We're practically sitting together! (although there are two tables between us, but there's nobody there, so...) But am getting embarrassed. Probably thinks I'm a geek, coz I'm all alone and am reading stuff like Occult Fan. Damn. Damn. Damn.
7.51 am. Whew, finally she stood up, about to leave. Am observing her from corner of eye. Gosh, she's cute. Oh---wait. Coming in my direction. Uh-oh! Uh-oh!
I felt her tap on my shoulder. Out of shock, I shouted an, "AH!"
Library goers faced me and went, "ssshhh!" Face went all red.
Ellone smiled, and probably giggled a bit. "Excuse me," (wow! she excused herself! ... why am I making a big deal out of this?) "but after you're done with those magazines, can I borrow them? I wanna read them too." Damn. She just wants the crappy magazines.
9.00 am. Just went out of training center to usher the lovebirds out of the secret place. Then was chased by stupid grat. Only if I had a weapon... Some SeeD I am.
8.00 pm. Just went back from mall, after 3 straight hours of being dragged by women who haven't shopped for 3 months. Gah. Bushed. Am going to sleep now...
