Chapter 13
Kappa Gamma
Meanwhile, Squall was driving back to his own dorm, AKA the Kappa Gamma house. As he pulled into one last corner, he then saw the humongous mansion like frat house.
Whew and I thought I was lost... they changed a lot since the last month I was here.
Squall unloaded his things and took them to the doorway. "This place sure has changed; I guess the president needs to fit his monstrosity of luggage into such a small doorway so he changed it." Squall muttered to himself as he approached the huge double oak doors, which he presumed to be quite the weights.
He pushed the huge doors as hard as he can but as expected he wasn't able to move the damn door. "What the hell, how am I supposed to open these friggin' doors?" He cussed under his breath. But as soon as he was about to throw a tantrum, the door swung open, both doors, and he found himself looking directly at his best pal: Seifer Almasy.
"What's cracking Leonhart??" the blonde threw Squall's things aside and pulled him into their secret handshake, which the other freshmen inside found quite funny.
"Everything is as it should be, Seif. I mean I am here in one piece aren't I?" Squall said as he was being pulled into submission by the president of one of the elites.
"You still haven't changed! You're still clueless! Captain Puberty!" Seifer boomed. It was a funny sight; the freshmen and upperclassmen alike were flocking the entrance hall to watch childhood friends battle it out.
"Well, unlike you, I changed my mind about staying single for life." Squall said, totally off the topic.
"HAHA" Seifer laughed so loudly, that it reverberated in the huge hall, up to the rooms. "Well, do you like what I have done with the place?" he asked.
"Nope. It makes me feel closer to home, which might I remind you, is not a very good thing for me." Squall said as Seifer let go of him. "And besides, you know I am such a minimalist." He said as he picked up his suitcases and decided to head off.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Seifer called while pushing past the spectators to follow Squall up to the sleeping quarters. "Uh…"
"What? I'm just trying to get to my room." Squall said cocking an eyebrow to Seifer, who was now panicking.
"Well, I changed your room, pal. I placed you in the room right next to mine instead of opposite it." Seifer said. Everyone turned their heads to Seifer's position.
They all knew that the room that was next to Seifer's is the VP's room, which in their case was inexistent. The room right in front of Seifer's was supposedly the third to the biggest room in the house, someone who has a high rank in the hierarchy or the person whom the Pres would want to put there, are the only people who are allowed to take it.
"What happened to my room?" Squall was now ascending the stairs and was also hauling his luggage, which Seifer stole from his arms, to carry to the room right next to his. "Look, I know you want the whole sun and moon rooms, me being the sun," Seifer was now pointing to the Sun room, "and the," he now pointed to the room opposite it, "you being the Moon."
"Yeah, I know about that. What I am inquiring about is why I am now in the Star room?" Squall now faced Seifer and cocked an eyebrow.
"Well," Seifer put down his share of the load on the floor and went to open the Moon room. "If you must know…" then he pushed open the door to unveil the very, very intricately designed roof and walls of the huge room. The bed was at the middle of the room, on a huge blue rug. The room was of navy blue and black, a lot of furnishing was in it and the furniture looked of what vamps would buy.
"Oh my Hyne." Squall was dumbstruck and disappointed at the same time. "Didn't I want a minimalistic feel? What the hell is this?? I feel like Count Dracula!" he said as he pointed at the huge chair with black leather upholstery and silver arms and feet.
"Well, I thought it didn't match the whole "Moon and Sun" thing!" Seifer threw his arms up the air and pushed past Squall to the curtains and show him the balcony. "There's a balcony! Aren't you happy with the balcony?" then he gave a stupid smile.
Squall just groaned and decided to let it go. "This room is…fine with me, Seif."
"Really?! I mean aren't you pissed? Won't you hate me for this?" Seifer was now relieved and was acting like Squall was the president.
"If I hated you for this, I would've taken the Star room. So, this room…" Squall said as he placed his luggage next to the huge cabinet. "Is yours as big as this?"
"Yeah, just a bit though, I mean I do have a girlfriend and I want her to be as comfortable as possible." Then he winked at Squall, like a playboy and laughed.
"Pshhh. Do you think she would really fall for that?" Squall asked. "Who is your girlfriend anyway?"
"Well, I don't think she'll fall for it, but it is worth a try. We could let women stay here, but only for a week per month. Nothing more than that, we're elites that is—"he was cut off by Squall's interjection. "Don't sway from the question, buddy."
"Oh okay! I give up, you still are the Captain." He raised his arms in defeat and closed the door behind him. "You see," he was uneasy and blushing, which Squall found scary. "We're not REALLY together, I mean, we are just… friends."
"Are you talking about Quistis Trepe?" Squall asked.
"Yes."
Then Seifer blushed.
Squall roared with laughter. He was thrown into a fit of laughter and was now rolling on his back.
"Shoot. I'm sorry for losing cool, dude; but c'mon! Trepe? She's super hot! I think she's outta your league." Squall said as he stood up from his position and sat up.
"Well yeah, but I had my chances…I blew them." Seifer was now sad. He looked at the brunette as if he was gonna cry.
"Hey! Aren't you the one who told me never to cry about women? Why are you going to right now?" Squall asked as he tried to stop himself from laughing again.
"Well, Quitis, she's different. She was my best pal last year and now we grew apart because I confessed." Seifer continued. "She didn't reject me because she didn't like me or love me or anything, she rejected me because, according to her, she was going to be busy this year." Then he sat on the huge Dracula-like chair.
"So she likes you but cannot be your girl because, she's going to be busy?" Squall cleared. Seifer just gave him a nod and said nothing.
In a matter of seconds, they started laughing and were now over the whole "I can't get a girl" thing.
"That was a stupid conversation, Squall." Seifer said as he tried to surpass the fit of laughter.
"I know, but hey, at least I know you're a softy!" Squall laughed.
Seifer threw a pillow at him to shut him up and shot a question which caught Squall off guard. "So, what about you buddy?"
"Do you have a REAL girlfriend?" Seifer cocked an eyebrow at Squall and laughed.
Squall blushed scarlet but nevertheless remained calm. "Well, I do. And this isn't like those one-nighters I had back in military school. "
"Wow, my man Squall has a wifey!" someone yelled from the door.
"What the… who are you?" Squall asked as he went to open the door.
"What's happenin?!"
A long haired brunette opened the door just as Squall touched the door knob. "Hey!"
"Hey, Irvine." Squall said curtly. "Nice to see you're still alive."
"Nice to see too, Squall." The cowboy said. "So, according to the local news, that our dear friend and president doesn't read, YOU GOT A GIRLFRIEND!"
Then Irvine laughed, which was later on followed by huge crashing sound, which was Seifer trying to shut the cowboy up. "You are starting to sound like Dincht!" The blonde yelled as he straddled the cowboy down. "Ey,ey! Gerroff me! Y'all better call the cops on this guy!" Irvine said as he turned scarlet. "Oops, let loose my "Hey y'all" self."
They all laughed at his statement and his sudden notice of his accent. "Your accent is still there huh? This is soo funny." Squall said as he settled on the bed.
"So," Seifer started as he tried to stand up from his position and helping Irvine too. "Who's the girl, Squall? Or should I ask this cowboy from "hey y'all" state?"
"Well, she studies here too." Squall stated.
"That's it?? That is the only clue you're going to give me? Your best pal??" Seifer said as he pretended to act hurt.
"I told you, I saw it in the paper last night. He kissed her in front of the whole Elite community at their last Gala!" Irvine said as he frantically searched for the newspaper cut out.
"It was on the news?" Squall asked as if not moved.
"Yeah, and I have it here, I think…." Irvine said.
"Move!" Seifer removed the cowboy's jacket and searched for the paper on his own. "Here! Wow, good kiss man, they got your good side!"
"Thanks?" Squall said tentatively.
"Read the caption, Seif! You'll love it!" Irvine said as he settled in the huge chair.
"…the snobbish prince of Esthar just became the biggest star in the Charity Gala, by making a scene of kissing a girl named…" Seifer stopped talking and said, "Its cut off…"
"Damn you, you should've cut the correctly!" Seifer blamed Irvine and threw him the paper.
"Hey it's not my fault my mom is such a dragon!" Irvine countered.
"What the… am I suppose to care abou—"
"Shut up, both of you." Squall said. "Her name's Rinoa, she studies here. Same level as us, Irv."
"Yeah? Then I might know her, I memorized all the women's names." The cowboy put up his hat and gave them a flashy smile.
"Yeah, yeah, you never change." Seifer said.
"Well, I don't change that quickly." Irvine said. "Is she coming over today?"
"No." Squall said as he stood up and shooed the two out of his room. "I'll be introducing you guys soon, but as of now I am tired, so get out."
"Grumpy." Seifer muttered as he went on his way downstairs and Irvine on his way to the Star room.
Now time for me to have some alone time!
Squall thought as he stretched on the huge bed.
This place isn't half bad… anyway I'll SMS Rinoa to tell her I can't come.
He extracted his phone from his pocket and keyed in a message to Rinoa, to tell her they have to cancel because he has a huge headache. Then he flipped his phone closed and fell, almost instantly, asleep.
A/N: so yeah that's the chapter! next chap is Rinoa's time! :) R&R cyuz! :)
