Chapter IV - Meeting The Rival
Zidane was in his room, on his bed thinking about the guy they saw earlier "Who is he?.." he whispered.
"Is he Garnet's boyfriend?" he put his pillow on his face.
"NO! think positive!! He's not Garnet's boyfriend! NO!!!" saying to himself
"maybe, I'll forget about it if I sleep.." he nodded and took his blanket. Cover his body and he went to sleep..
The next morning, Zidane woke up. He look outside the window and it was still dark then he look at his clock. He saw it was 6:00 A.M. "Oh, wow.." he whispered scratching his head. He stood up, fixed his bed and went to the bathroom. After that he change his clothes and go down stairs.
At the kitchen, he saw his mom reading a letter and her face looks happy. He approached his mom
"Morning, mom." he sat on the chair and grab a bread in front of him. "Wow, you're up so early." his mom said
"Uh, yeah.. I didn't know why I woke up this early. Shocking huh?" his mom laughed and continue reading the letter. Zidane peek at the letter that her mom was reading "What's that mom? you look happy.." he asked "Oh umm.. Well, I got promoted on my job" she replied
"That's great, congrats mom!"
"But Zidane,.. I'm leaving you guys.." Zidane's happy face turn into a sad face
"What? leaving us? w-what do you mean?"
"They destined me to Alexandria, they want me to continue my job there." She explained
"But,.. What about us?"
"You're old enough to take care of yourself. I need you to watch over Mikoto." she said to him. Zidane was looking down and his face was sad.
"When are you leaving?" he asked in a low voice
"Next month."
"Already?!" he shouted
"Zidane, don't worry. I'll come home if I have long day off." Zidane sighed and took a bite to the bread he was holding. His mom stood up, walk to him and hug him "Cheer up, It's hard for me too, and here..." she hold Zidane's hand and gave something to him.
Zidane open his hand and saw a key.. "What's this mom?" his mom smiled
"I bought you a new car, so you can use it when going to school, or going somewhere." his eye got bigger when his mom said car
"Car?, what about your car?"
"Kaija can have that. Your car is inside the garage." he stood up and went to the garage, he open the light and saw a black car. "Oh my.. This is the car that I wanted!!!" he looked at his mom
"Thank you so much!" he hug his mom so tight
"y-your welcome.."
"oh sorry.."
"Well I have to wake your sisters up so they can get ready. You can pick up your friends and go to school." she went inside leaving Zidane, who's looking at his new car.
He went inside their house and get his bag "Mom, I'm leaving!" he shouted
"Ok, take care!" he went inside his car, start the engine and drive outside.
He went to Blank's house to pick him up. He gout out of the car and went to the door, he press the doorbell twice then someone open it "What are you doing here?" Blank said with a serious voice
"I'm here to pick you up." he grinned
"What are you-" suddenly Blank saw a black car outside their gate
"You lucky bastard..." he whispered "Let's go?" Blank was still looking at the car, then he went inside and get his stuff. He rushed outside, locked his door and went inside the car with Zidane.
They went to Cinna's house next and they saw Marcus and Cinna. They stop in front of them, the two got scared and step back slowly. Blank and Zidane open their window and smiled at them
"going in or not?" Zidane asked them while they're staring at them.
"tight.." They whispered, then they went inside the car.
At School
They arrived at school, they park and went inside the school. They heard girls screaming at the hallway, Zidane saw Eiko
"Eiko!!" he approached her
"What's going on?" he asked
"Oh, there's a new student, though he kinda looks like you.." she replied
"Uh-oh.." Cinna whispered
"I think I know who it is.." Blank said
"Me too.." Zidane added
Suddenly, the bell rang. The students went to their classrooms and same as Zidane and his friends. When they're inside their classroom, Ms. Beatrix came in "Good Morning class!, as most of you already know that we have a new student." You can hear students whispering about it, specially the girls. Ms. Beatrix look outside the door "Can you come in?"
Then a guy came in inside the classroom the girls screamed when they saw the guy.
"Hey!! Quiet!" Ms. Beatrix shouted to the girls, then she look at him again "Will you introduce yourself?" she asked to the new student. He nodded and faced to the whole class.
He smiled "Hello, I'm Daine Dalmasca. I came from Ivalice." the students look at each other and whispered to each other when they heard 'Ivalice'
"Isn't that a rich country?" one of the students whispered "I hope I'll have a great school year with you guys." he smiled. Ms. Beatrix looked at him
"Thank you Daine, be nice to him class." She said to them "Daine, you can sit next to Zidane over there, that blonde haired guy over there." she said to him
"Thank you." He said, Daine walk to his sit in front of Zidane. Daine saw Zidane, he smiled at him then Zidane smiled back, then he sat down.
Four periods have passed the bell once again rang. The students starting to go to the cafeteria to get and eat their lunch. When Zidane and his friends was going to the cafeteria, he saw Garnet and Daine together. He stopped and looked at them. "Hey! Why did u stop Zidane?" Marcus looked at him then look at what Zidane was looking.
"Yeowch.." Cinna whispered, then Garnet saw them and approached them together with Daine.
"Hi Zidane!" Garnet greeted
"Hi" Zidane replied
"You met him right?"
"Yeah, earlier"
"Oh, I wasn't there that's why I didn't know. Well anyway, This is Daine." She introduce him again
"Daine, this is Zidane and his friends. Blank, Cinna and Marcus." then Garnet introduce them to Daine. They smiled at him and shake his hand, when Daine was going to shake Zidane's hand he said "I heard a lot about you, Zidane" shaking his hand, Garnet smiled
"He's from Ivalice, he's staying here until college" Garnet said
"Oh, ok well I'm going now need to do something. Nice meeting you again, bye" Zidane said leaving them. Then his friends followed him and said goodbye to Garnet and Daine.
"Hey Zidane, what happen to you?" Cinna said while following him, he didn't answer
"Jealous.." Blank said, Zidane stopped. "I'm not jealous.." he said in a low voice.
"Yeah right.." Blank said
"I SAID I'M NOT JEALOUS!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!" he shouted and left them, Blank sighed and saw Garnet behind them
"Is he going to be alright?" She asked them, looking concern
"Yeah, he'll be fine don't worry." Blank said to her.
At The Garden
"Ugh!! Why does he have to be here until college?!" he shouted.. "They look pretty close to each other" he said. He sighed and sat on the bench, looking down suddenly...
"Hey" he look up and saw Daine
"Uhh.. Hey." Daine sat down beside Zidane "You okay?" Daine asked
"Yeah. Why are you here?" Zidane said in a low voice.
"I just want to talk to you and know more about you." he said to Zidane "I know you want to know something about me too." Zidane look at him shockingly.
"Are you anything to Garnet?" Zidane asked
"I know you'll ask that." Zidane look at him "Well, her mother and my mother are friends for a very long time. My mother liked Garnet so much, same as her mother she liked me too very much. So they wanted us to get married someday." Daine explain to him.
"So you mean... your her fiancé?" looking at him with a shocking face.. "Yup, so it's my turn to ask you." Daine look at Zidane seriously
"Do you like Garnet?"
"Huh?" silence was starting to come out of the atmosphere. Zidane look away "No, I-I don't like her.." he lied. Daine made a little laugh.
"If you do, I just want to tell you that. I love her and she's mine." Zidane's body got colder like someone stab his heart with a knife.
"Just want you to know, buddy" Daine said to Zidane, he pat his back and Daine left him.
"Fiancé..." he whispered
At Home
"Sigh..." Zidane was like this since Daine said about the marriage thing and he wasn't talking too.
"What's wrong with him?" Kaija asked like she doesn't care "I don't know he's like this when he left us."
"Did Garnet dump him or something?" Kaija said looking at his brother while sipping her soda.
"Nah, I think It's about the new guy at school who's related to Garnet." Kaija looked at him and sighed he push Zidane's head "You're pathetic. I told you! but you didn't listen!! now you're hopeless." She said to him going back to the kitchen
Then suddenly someone knock their door. "I'll get it." Mikoto said, she went to open the door.
When she open the door, Zidane wasn't looking at the door. He was looking down. Then he felt that someone was sitting next to him. The person smell so good, that scent was familiar to Zidane.
Then Zidane saw the person's feet and legs even her skirt?... What? a skirt? Who will be wearing a skirt in this room. It won't be Blank, Marcus and Cinna. Kaija doesn't have a legs like that and Mikoto is too young to have a legs like that.
"Can we talk Zidane?" Zidane's heart beat once, no one in this room will sound like that. Zidane look up and saw an angel.. I mean!! he saw Garnet beside him looking concern.
"G-garnet.. What are you doing here?" he said with a shocking face.
"Daine told me what happen, and I got mad at him. Then Blank called me saying that you've been acting strange." Garnet explained then she hold Zidane's hand "Can we talk about this?" Zidane blushed, looking at her concern face.
He slowly nodded, his friend's eye got wide and looking at Garnet and Zidane's hands. Kaija was looking too, she was drinking soda with straw and her eyebrow was up. Kaija sighed. Mikoto was smiling. "Can we walk outside while we're talking about it?" Still holding hand, he nodded again and still looking at her.
Then Garnet let go and stood up. "We'll be back later." she said to them, Zidane stood up too then Kaija whispered to him "Good luck dufus.." then they went outside..
