Chapter 1: A new Garden

She silently walked through the halls of her new Garden. It was less big than her former one, Centra Garden, which had been destroyed by a large fire a while ago. So that made her a transfer student, totally unfamiliar with her new surroundings. Not that she gave a damn, frankly, she could care less about it. If she got lost, she could always ask for directions, right?

Suddenly someone bumped into her, knocking the both of them to the floor.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" the person snapped.

"I'm sorry, I didn't really pay attention."

She was pulled back to her feet and she stared into the grinning visage of a rather short boy with a large tattoo on the side of his face.

"No, it's okay. Sorry for snapping at ya. My name's Zell Dincht, who might you be?"

"Fujin. Fujin Lani. Can you tell me where the dorms are?"

Zell smiled broadly again, showing off his perfect white fangs. "Sure. This way!"

The seemingly hyperactive boy led her down the halls towards the dorms and Fujin took everything in silently.

"So, you're new right? There's a huge party every year when all the new students have arrived and that happens to be tomorrow. You should go, it's in the Quad." Zell explained to her when they had reached the dorms. "You can meet all the other students then!"

The blonde boy looked at his watch and his blue eyes widened.

"Oh nooo-oooh…I missed my hotdogs again.." he whined in a miserable voice and ran off to the Cafeteria, hoping to find a left over hotdog. In his haste, he didn't watch where he was going and he bumped into someone for the second time that day.

"Damnit! Watch where you're going, Chicken-wuss!" a tall blonde spat before standing up and walking her way. He was charming, in a sort of mysterious way and she couldn't help but take a step back when he stopped in front of her. "Another newbie, eh? I'm Seifer Almasy, head of the disciplinary committee." Seifer said and they shook hands. There was some kind of strange attraction between them and Fujin smiled. "I'm Fujin Lani, and for being a newbie, that ain't true. I'm a transfer student from Centra Garden."

Seifer smirked "I figured as much, you're too old to be a rookie."

The tall blonde spotted a familiar figure and he scowled, causing Fujin to turn and see what had caught his attention. It was a boy, about 15 years old with shaggy auburn hair and a far too serious expression on his face.

"Who's that?" she asked.

"Squall Leonhart. That kid is so fucking infuriating! Too damn cold." Seifer replied in an exasperated voice. Fujin smiled inwardly, she liked this Seifer guy already.

"Are you going to that party tomorrow?"

Seifer shrugged. "I guess, but I'm going to make a trip to Balamb first."

Fujin couldn't keep herself from being curious. "What do you want in Balamb?"

Seifer looked a little suspicious, but something in her eyes told him that she could be trusted. "Good drugs, not too expensive."

Fujin wasn't really surprised, almost everyone she'd known at Centra Garden had been using one way or the other, including herself. Her red eyes glinted mischievously.

"Be a good boy and get me some too." she said with a smirk. Seifer cracked up laughing. "I'm starting to like you girl, and there aren't many who have the privilege of saying that."

Fujin chuckled and ran a hand through her silver hair. "Well, thanks."

Seifer cocked his head to the side. "Well, it's been nice meeting ya, see ya later!" he said and walked into the direction of the Cafeteria. "DINCHT! What did I say about running in the halls!" Fujin heard Seifer yell and she smirked. Maybe this Garden wouldn't be so bad after all.





Well, that was it for the first chapter. Pleas tell me if you liked it! ( or if you hated it(…
