My Roommate


Chapter 9

Rinoa's POV

A smile on my face, cute memories in my mind and the sweet dream I had last night. That's how I woke up this morning. Why? Only because of him. He carried me all the way from the training center to my bed. Wasn't that crazily romantic? (Ohhhh ...how much I LOVE him). I sat on my bed and searched around my blanket looking for Squall's bandage. I found the small piece from his T-shirt around my ankle. I took it off my leg and pressed it against my lips kissing it softly while throwing my body back on my bed fast. (He smells really GOOD). While I was lost in my daydreams of him my alarm clock rang, telling me that it's time to get up. (Stupid clock!!) I gave it a mean look. (Anyway I can steal fantasias about him in class) I thought smiling. I get up from my bed then went to the bathroom and took a fast hot shower.

I entered the classroom and I saw Selphie setting next to Irvine they were talking about something (What is going on between those two ? They are together 24 hours a day??) I walked to them.

"hey guys!" I said

"Good morning Rinoa" said Irvine then Selphie.

"Good morning" I replied

"So what are you two talking about?" I shifted my sight alternatively from Selphie to Irvine.

"Not now… we'll talk in the cafeteria later, everyone will be at the usual table" Irvine said

"everyone?"

"Yeah me, you, Selphie, Zell and Sally"

"Oh" I nodded

Then the GF instructor entered the class (I really don't know his name! do I know anything that happen at the clasrooms?!!) he greeted the class with his usual words. I didn't give him any attention I just turned my head looking for Squall in the back seat. But sadly (For me) I didn't found him (Where is he? He's never late for class!). I spend all the class time waiting for him, but he didn't show up (What if something happened to him??) I looked at my watch (When will that stupid bell rang? I gatta go and check on him)

Finally the bell rang announcing the end of my suffering …. I walked out of the classroom heading to our room (our?!! I like that word!!). I was near the dormitory and my hopes were getting up every minute as I get closer to him. A happy music started to play in my mind and a big smile covered my face I felt like I was walking on the air. But the music suddenly stopped and my smile vanished when Selphie took my arm and dragged me away from him telling me "Irvine wants to talk with us in the cafeteria"

"But Squall-"

"You can see him later"

"But-"

"Hey can't you wait a minute"

(But I want to see him…now!) I gave her a sad face as I saw the dormitory disappear.

I want with Selphie to the cafeteria and saw Irvine, Zell and Sally there. They were talking and they stopped when they saw us.

"hi" I smiled

"Rinoa, didn't I tell you to meet us at the cafeteria?" Irvine said

"Hey sorry Boss"

"Ha ha you're funny… maybe you should be a standup comedian instead" I gave him the you-are-silly look, which is basically an angry look…

"Anyway …. Selphie dragged me here, so what do you want?"

"It's about fun and only fun" Irvine said smiled in confident

"sounds stupid to me" I complained, cause I really didn't want to be here,,, everyone gave a mad glare. So I took a seat and listened.

Then he started to talk about his 'master plan'… and it was really fun and exciting and I liked it. But the main subject in my mind was Squall and it stayed like this in my head all the way to his room.

I knocked on his door softly but there wasn't any answer. I knocked again and again… but I had the same reply (maybe he is not here… oh I'll enter his room anyway) so I opened the door and I was greeted by the darkness of his room. I felt my way to the window and I opened the curtains. My eyes straightly looked to his bed and I found him. A cute shirtless Squall on the bed (isn't he cute?!!) I smiled at the view. (But why is he breathing fast? And he's sweating too much, it's not hot in here) I put my hand on his forehead (Oh he's hot…poor sick Squall. I better call Dr. Kadowaki) I took the phone and dialed her number.

"Hello?" I heard a voice.

"Hello… Dr. Kadowaki?"

"Yes" she answered

"Hmm my roommate is really sick… I think he is feverish"

"O-k-a-y … can you bring him here?" (She's properly confused about the 'he' word)

"No I don't think so… he's unconsciousness and he's too heavy for me to carry"

"Oh… then give me your room number and I will come and take a look at him"

"Its 55… please hurry"

"I'll try" then she hang up

I put the phone down then looked at him.

After about 15 mins the doctor came…

"Hi…. You're the person who talked with me on the phone?" she asked

"Yes"

"Where is HE?"

"in here, please come in doctor" I took her to Squall's room then she threw me out, and closed the door. It didn't take long for her to come out…."So?" I asked

"He's going to be alright"

"really? What was wrong with him?"

"I cast an Esuna spell on him. He will wake up any minute now… be sure that he have some rest so he can get his strength back"

"Okay… thank you Dr. Kadowaki"

"You're welcome" then she went out of the room. I heard someone moving so I entered Squall's room. I found him trying to get of his bed but no way. I pushed him back fast.

"No, no Squall the doctor said that you need to rest"

"Rinoa, leave me alone, just get out" he removed my hands from his shoulder and tried to get up again

"Guess what? No again…. you're sick… and you need my help" I pushed him back again

"No I don't" he pushed me trying to get up

"Yes, you do…" I pushed him

"Rinoa no kidding there are classes I should be at today" he grabbed both my wrists and I couldn't push him…."hey let go, you stubborn asshol—" I said as I struggled to free my hands from his… but I couldn't, he was stronger than me. In a final attempt to free myself, I tried to bite his hand off mine, but he noticed my failed attempt and quickly twisted my arms and held them to my back.

When he did that, I lost my balance (Yeah really,,, that's what happened?!!) okay I could have regained my balance and not fall,,, I could have but I simply didn't. so now he's finally on the bed shirtless sweating and I partly on top of him with my hands behind my back, and our lips were inches away. My head was spinning, couldn't think straight I felt as his breathing became slower and deeper. Thank God the room was still dark.

He's sick I reminded myself, why do I treat him this way even when he's sick,,, always teasing him cant I be kinder to him?

"Don't worry about the classes that you missed, I'll write everything for" I whispered, then I took a deep breath to clear my mind

"You don't have to" he said finally while letting go of my heads,

"Yes, I do … you saved my life yesterday " I said lifting myself up.

"I don't know??" he didn't resist this time.

"Don't worry at all, you just lie down and relaxes and I'll take good care of you" I said as I covered him with his blanket.

I walked out of his room and closed the door behind me, I leaned over the closed door and told myself to breath.

I went to Selphie's room and I found her chatting with someone online.

"Hey Selphie"

"Oh... Hi Rinoa" she kept looking at her screen. And her fingers on the keyboard writing.

"Can you tell me all the importing things that we had today in the GF class?"

"Hmm I am kind of busy"

"Oh so you rather chat with an unknown person …who could be a killer by-the-way ….than help your friend?"

She rolled her eyes over then said, "I didn't tell him my real name"

"Who cares? Would you please help me?" I said with a desperate look on my face.

"O K A Y" she said not looking very happy.

"Thanks" I hugged her head, as she was still sitting down.

I walked happily to Squall's room holding a notebook where I write every single thing that the instructors said today (He will definitely be happy). I knocked on his door as I entered it.. He was sleeping so I put the notebook on the small table near his bed. (Sweet dreams Squall) I went out of his room quietly as I entered.

Squall's POV

I felt that there was someone in my room as I was almost awake. I opened my eyes and saw Rinoa walking in slowly. I kept pretending to be asleep, I couldn't face her now after I nearly kiss her when she was leaning over me. I felt weak after she left the first time, she made me feel weak, or maybe my sickness is getting to my head but I didn't want her to come back.

She walked slowly out of my room after putting something on my nightstand. As soon as the door closed behind her I got up and sat on my bed. I took the notebook that she had left behind, and flipped through it. Found 3 hand-writing lectures, on the first few pages. Made me a little bit angry that I needed her help. Am not used to depend on anyone but myself. Beside it's her fault that am sick today, as I had to take a long cold shower yesterday after carrying her all the way back to her bed.

I almost throw the notebook against the wall when I noticed something else was written on the last page. It looked like a poem… and 'Stolen look' was its title. I know that I shouldn't have read it but I did.

(Stolen look)

In the Corner of his eyes

I saw my face

He's looking at me

So what is the case?

Every time I look

He's looking back

But when I smile

He never returns it back

So what's the case?

Those painful eyes

Are looking at me

Telling me a story

How love can be

Between two strangers

That never knew

What love it is

Until they saw

Each other eyes

In the corner of their meaningless lives.

End of the poem.
