Thanks to everyone who reviewed! And I do check my works, its just normal for me to call Seifer Nick.
Chapter 9
( Rinoa's p.o.v. )
Quistis was nowhere in Garden. Selphie wasn't to be found anywhere either. I just decided to wander around until one of the two came back. I had visited Connor before Anna saw me and he was still in his skateboard-induced coma.
I sat down on a wall across from a window and watched the morning glories come back into bloom. Soon enough I got bored and backed away from the wall I was leaning on. I turned away just to be pushed back into it. A firm grip was placed around my throat. I looked into firry green eyes as his voice reached my ears. "So you blame Anna for all of this?" His eyes now fastened to mine. I glared into them contently as he tightened his grip around my neck. " I asked a question, now answer me!" I tried to shake my head, but found it hurt to move. He hit me across the face as I gasped for air, but found nothing. The tears started rolling down my cheeks, leaving white streaks where they had fallen.
Two voices came from down the hallway. Seifer looked to his left, dropped me and took off running. " So she told you to fuck off?" " Yup!" " well, didn't you just! With her boyfriend?" Their laughter filled the corridor and by that time I knew well who it was. Anna and Kacy were coming towards me. I got up and headed towards the nearest door, which happened to be the cafeteria. As soon as I entered all eyes were on me.
I scanned the room looking for someone I knew. My eyes landed on Irvine. I edged my way over to him. " Rin, what's wrong?"
(Squall's P.O.V.)
The house was empty. There were no guards, no butlers, maids, no one. Adam and Zell followed close behind me, all of us being fully equipped. We had made it to the top level of the mansion and still no sign of anyone. We started going into every room, searching for anything. The last room of the house was the kitchen. Attached to the refrigerator was a small index card. It read
You're too late to save Rinoa, Squall. We're taking care of her back at garden.
I passed the index card around so the two behind me could read it. Zell was already headed out the door before I could ask them what they thought we should do.
(Quitis's P.O.V.)
" So Rinoa and Squall are gonna hook up?" Selphie asked as she bounced with excitement. " I'm not saying that. Not at all. But he did hug her back the other night. " I smiled as I remembered watching his face relax a little. We headed into the cafeteria. I grabbed my usual mocha-chinno latte with a little added sugar while Selphie went for the chocolate milk.
I spotted Irvine's tall cowboy hat. Then I noticed someone else sobbing on his shoulder. I ran over to the table but before I could open my mouth to speak Irvine held up finger and motioned for me to sit down. I sat obediently and waited for her to raise her head up. After a while she finally did and asked me to go to her dorm to talk with her for a while.
She told me more about her father, and what it was really like living in the mansion. I really had no clue what this girl had been through. She then became interested in my life.
" Holy Hyne! It's a quarter past midnight! Where did the day go? " I spoke up, suddenly coming back to reality. " What are you worried about? We have a few days off because Cid didn't want to deal with the grade rush, remember?" Rinoa spoke like the time was nothing. " yea, I guess you're right. Anyways, I need to head back to my dorm so I can get some sleep." " Nonsense. You can stay here for the night. Plus, even if we are off, it is past curfew. I have two twin beds in my room. I never did figure out why though." We snickered at that.
So Rinoa and I had our first teen-age based, no work allowed sleep over where we bashed each other with pillows and sang random verses from random songs. We got in trouble for being too loud though and decided to go to sleep at about 4 am.
