Tomo: Hi everyone. Note that I do try to keep these characters in character but I am putting them in a modern dramatic high school feel. Also because I feel an intense need to make a video representing this story; (how I really envisioned it) I will be making some videos representing some parts of the story. ^_^ Alrighty enjoy~!

~Chapter II – Wait a minute~
Squall tried and tried but to no avail he could not sleep. He couldn't help but wonder where his cell phone would be. He also couldn't help to think that the girl who called him was Rinoa. Rinoa…? He thought. Rinoa the princess. She's certainly not princess like. Then it occurred to him. He looked at the pink cell phone and saw the number that recently called it. It was his number. Finally, settled down knowing he had a conclusion. He looked at the ceiling and soon enough the silent Squall fell asleep.
"Hey…" she called out to him. Squall could barely recognize the voice. He then felt a warm embrace. He wasn't so sure who it was but he knew it wasn't Quistis, but something about this person seems too familiar to him. He tried to move but couldn't. He looked at the person, trying to make out who it was. He noticed a woman with short hair and all he could see was a green shawl.
"Sis!" He cried out. She let go off him and started to drift away.
"Memory…" She said, and surely it echoed through his mind. Once he started going after her, she disappeared.
"Sis!" he repeated. Squall tripped and fell forward. He recovered and looked up to see a girl with wings. "Angel?" He slipped out. The girl shook her head and raised her pointer finger towards her face. Squall couldn't make out who it was but he could see her smile. He then felt a bit warm. To him, her smile was inviting. She extended her other arm and reached out to Squall. Squall didn't feel the need to accept her hand. He felt confused and angry at himself for not understanding anything. He looked up again and noticed something was in her hand this time. "What's this?" He questioned. She didn't reply. He tried to make out what the object was but it was too radiant to look at.
BEEP BEEP
Squall suddenly sat up and slammed his alarm clock. He looked down and covers his head with his hands. He then ruffled his hair in confusion. All of this doesn't make any sense. Well a dream is just a dream he decided and discarded his thoughts about the dream.
"Ohairo~!"
Squall looked up to see someone right up in his face. He backed away slowly and the girl kept getting closer, so close that he could just see right through her eyes. He then remembered those same eyes last night when the girl bumped into him. He kept moving back until he hit the wall. The girl leaned in closer.
"Hmmmmmm…" She looked at him with interest. She then back away from him and sat on his bed. She then lifted his cell phone and held it towards her face. "Is this yours?" Squall then reached out for it but she quickly hid it behind her back. "Uh uh!"
"What are you doing here in my room?" he questioned while scratched the back of his head.
"That's my secret. So Mr. imsocool where's my phone?" she mocked him by crossing her arms the same time he did. Squall pulled out her phone from his jacket and held it. She then held his phone out to him. Squall again tried to grab it but failed when she pulled it back from him. She giggled and she simply asked, "So what's your name?"
"Squall Leonhart." He said in a flat tone.
"My name is Rinoa Heartilly. Please don't call me princess." She said while starring at her shoes.
"Could I have my phone now?"
"Nope!" She jumped off his bed and put her hands behind her back. She then leaned down to see Squall eye to eye. "You have to apologize to me about last night."
"Whatever." Squall felt too tired to even comprehend anything at the moment. "Just give me my phone back."
"You want it? Come get it." Rinoa then started to head to the door, slowly.
"Whatever."
"Hey! At least try to be more…I don't know. Something!" She exclaimed. Squall got up and held his hand out, a sign for her to give his phone back. "Nooope I'm not satisfied with your behavior Mr. imsocool."
"Whatever. I'll just get a new one." He remarked. That statement made Rinoa really lose a bit of her patience.
"Fine. WHATEVER." She mocked and left his dorm and slammed the door. Neither of the two had their phones returned. Squall felt discontent about this weekend and he just sat on his bed about to doze off again. Why do I feel so tired? He wondered. He shook his head and stood up to get into his usual outfit. Once he was finished, another one had intruded.
"Morning Squall!" Selphie smiled as she waved at him. Squall did not reply. He simply leaned on a wall and looked at her, waiting for her to say something to him. "Um, I was wondering if you've seen the princess?"
"She just invaded my privacy a moment ago." He grumbled.
"Oh? Darn it, I've just missed her." Said Selphie, which almost sounded like it was scripted. Squall gave her a questioning look. "Oh well! Hey Squall…Hehehe," she giggled.
"What?"
"I was wondering if you could help me with the upcoming Garden Festival. You don't have to perform or anything, I just need tough guys like you to do tough things." She looked at him and noticed the disinterest on his face. "Oh please? This festival means a lot to me! I know I've been asking a lot lately but I really want help with this…please?" She begged.
Squall looked at her then at the ceiling. He sighed and replied, "Sure. You really have dedication."
"Yay!" She jumped at him and gave him a tight hug.
"Let go."
"Oh, sorry. Hehe I'm just so happy!" Just like that, she hopped out of his dorm.
Squall had suspicion about why the two girls decided to enter his dorm uninvited. Why did they want to see him? He felt that their reasons where too simple; then again, the female mind was too complex for him to understand in the first place. Trying to prevent a headache, Squall stop thinking so much about it and finally was ready to head out.
Currently in the Quad, huge news went around about the famous daughter of Julia (the successful musician) was in Balamb Garden.
"Yo did you hear that Rinoa is here?" Zell called out in surprise.
"No need to shout it chicken-wuss." said Seifer. "I don't need any more people getting in my way."
"Rinoa this, Rinoa that. I wish she stopped getting so much attention already." Quistis snarled. "I mean she's a princess and a pop princess as well. What's next? Queen of popularity? That is my title and she'll never take that from me."
"Um, excuse me? Could I sit here?"
"Yeah yeah." Quistis replied. She then turned to see Seifer and Zell starring straight behind her. "What now?" She turned to see Rinoa smiling.
"Um I am guessing you guys are Selphie's friends right? I just wanted to chill here for a bit till she shows up."
"Well you are welcome to relax with me anytime." smirked Seifer which made Rinoa laugh a bit.
"Are you going to sing for us today?" Zell asked.
"Maybe…" Rinoa looks down at her shoes. Zell started to feel the rush, the rush he gets when he likes someone. He then notices his uncontrollable leg shaking.
"Zell, do you need to go?" Quistis asked.
"N-No."
"Wow the chicken is so scared he's about to piss himself?" chuckled Seifer.
"Shut up!" Zell quickly got up and left. As he was leaving Selphie joined the crew.
"What is up with him?"
"I think he needed to pee?" Rinoa tilted her head to the side and watched Zell leave. Selphie gave Rinoa a hug and sat down next to her. "So I tried returning his cell phone but he was too much of a jerk."
"Who's the jerk?" Seifer questioned.
"Squall, who else would it be?" said Quistis. Seifer's eyes turned harsh. That loner boy met her? This is going to be a bit tougher than I thought. Seifer pondered.
"He always finds some way to get in my way." He quietly spoke. It was not audible for everyone to hear but Rinoa questioned his concerned look on his face.
"Something the matter Seifer?" She asked.
"Huh? Oh no, it nothing really. It's just that Squall is a type of guy who doesn't give a damn about anyone's feelings. I'd stay away from him if I were you." Seifer made sure he made himself presentable to Rinoa; by being friendly and 'nice.'
Rinoa then laughed. Everyone had a questionable look on their faces. She noticed their reaction and laughed even more.
"May I ask what's so funny?" Quistis asked.
"Oh sorry, it's just that he said it like I was planning to date him and I am most certainly not!" laughed Rinoa. Soon, Seifer join in on the laughing. Quistis felt a bit uncomfortable. She couldn't figure it out but she is most defiantly not happy. She then got up and left. "Are people always busy around here?"
"24/7 people have some things to do." Selphie replied. She then had an idea for her Garden Festival. "Hey Rinoa, could I ask you to do a tiny favor for me?" She smiled widely. Rinoa sighed and already knew what Selphie was thinking.
"Yes I'll perform for your Festival." She sighed.
"Wow you're pretty submissive." Seifer said seductively in a playful manner. Rinoa then hit him on his arm. "Never mind then." He smirked.
"You're such a flirt you know that?" Rinoa giggled. Selphie then had a concerned look on her face and grabbed Rinoa's arm.
"Rin? Could I speak to you for a moment?" Selphie then dragged Rinoa away into an area where they could talk privately, without her consent.
"Hey what was that for? I was having fun. Seifer is such a ni–"
"Nice player? Yeah." Selphie cut her off.
"Ooh? My type." She brushed off. She then turned away from Selphie but Selphie stopped her from going.
"Rinoa, remember who you are. You are a princess, and pop star and you are extremely pretty. Seifer is the kind of player who wants a trophy girlfriend and keeps his huge reputation as a player. He's no good. I am just warning you." Selphie then sighed and changed the subject. "So what exactly happened with Squall?"
Rinoa rolled her eyes and sighed. She crossed her arms and looked up at the ceiling, trying to remember the moment. "He wasn't fun. I tried the 'come and get it' thing but he didn't play along so we didn't get our phones back cause he's so much of a jerk." Selphie then laughed and placed her hand on Rinoa's shoulder.
"Look, I told you bothering him right when he wakes up was not a good idea."
"But it worked in 'Prince Stonehart!'" Rinoa squealed out.
"That drama is so unrealistic; you should know that things don't work out like that in real life." With that being said, Rinoa sighed and turned to towards the place Seifer was. He was no longer in sight. Rinoa felt disappointed and turned to see Selphie. The two headed off and Selphie gave Rinoa and grand tour.
Zell who nervously left the Quad headed to the library. He went straight to the desk in the back and sat down then sighed.
"I should have listened to myself when I said I was going to like Rinoa the moment I meet her." Zell then smacked his head with his palm and then lay back on the chair. He looked up to see Squall staring down at him. "Whoa!" He then fell back but he quickly tries to recover as fast as possible. He stood up and brushed dirt off his knees. "What are you doing here?"
"I just came here to take out a book. So I heard from people that you nearly piss your pants? Your cowardness has gotten worse." said Squall.
"I didn't freaking piss my pants for crying out loud!" shouted Zell. He was then quickly shushed by everyone. "My leg was shaking and I was just nervous when I saw Rinoa."
She's still here? Squall thought. "Do you know why she's here?"
"I don't know. She's seems to be really good friends with Selphie so I guess she might be visiting. That or she'll perform here in Balamb Garden," said Zell as he scratched the back of his head.
"Perform? Perform what?"
"WHAT?" Zell exclaimed, again he was shushed. "Don't you know? Rinoa is a pop sensation!" He whispered loudly. "Have you been living under a fucking rock to not know about it or heard Rinoa singing?"
"I have better things to do then to listen to some pop star that is bratty." Squall remarked. Zell gave him the 'wtf' look and Squall simple gave Zell the 'whatever' look. With that Squall left Zell to do whatever he was doing. As he headed out the library he heard loud music coming from the Quad. He walked in to see a large crowd in front of the stage. Squall then noticed Selphie dancing on stage. As the music stopped Selphie took a microphone and spoke.
"Hi everyone, I have a special guest this wonderful Saturday! Introducing Rinoa! Just dancing to 'Wait a Minute.'" The moment she said Rinoa the crowd screamed. Squall leaned on the wall and observed the princess getting ready. Might as well see this 'pop star,' he thought.
The music started. Rinoa had already got the whole crowd to clap along with the song in the beginning. About few seconds after she started dancing. It was full of powerful movement and it gave a lot of attention to her hips. She was getting more and more into the music. Her music technicality was spot on and Squall could help but commend the girl for her talent. Few moments later it ended.
"That's all for today! You'll see more at the Garden Festival! So buy your tickets today!" Selphie smiled. The crowd then cheered and then dispersed. Just as Squall was about to leave as well he was knocked down. Rinoa and Squall quickly got up and Rinoa said;
"Ooh sorry! I—"
"You!" They said at the same time.
"Meanie!"
"Whatever." Squall replied. "Brat." He mumbled under his breath.
"Arggh you are sooo…you know what? Forget it. I shouldn't be wasting my time." Rinoa then sassily walked by him making sure the attention went to her ass. Squall fell for it but quickly looked at his feet as soon as he knew what he was doing.
"So you two met huh?" Selphie giggled.
"She broke in my room." Squall remarked.
Meanwhile at the dormitory, Seifer stood in front of Squall's dorm room. He got in and quickly went towards his desk. He carefully looked through the drawers. Nothing special was there in his opinion. Seifer noticed a scrunched up pillow and searched it. Still wasn't what he was looking for. I need to find something that would eliminate him from Rinoa's mind. He then saw Squall's coat hanging and check the pockets. He pulled out a pink cell phone.
"What's this?" Seifer knew what he was holding. In his hand was the most expensive phone made for the princess only. He placed it in his pocket and grinned. There is no chance in hell Rinoa will have any interest in him anymore.
"She's mine now."
"Who's yours now?"
Seifer quickly turned around to see an angry Quistis at the door.
"You." He said playfully.
