Rinoa's POV
I was already tired of waiting when Squall met me in the quad. It was bad enough that he had to run off to his meeting with Seifer right after we went shopping, but he wouldn't even take me with him. Things may have turned out badly in the end but I still miss Seifer. I would have two knights if I could… And I really wanted to show off my new dress, I knew that there would be time at the ball but I wanted to do it when the only pretty thing to look at was me.
"Sorry we're late," Ellone said holding onto Squall's arm. They almost looked like a couple, it's hard to think that they're brother and sister, but they are both gorgeous. I grabbed Squall's other arm, I don't like the way that she draws so much of his attention.
"It's okay, it was worth the wait."
"The meetings ran a bit long…" He said sheepishly and I nodded. I think that he and Seifer must have gotten into a fight because I've had this uneasy feeling from Squall for hours.
"How is Seifer doing? You know I could have been helpful with last minute decorations if you had taken me with you," I asked pulling his arm a little bit closer. I tried to reach into his mind and find what he was thinking but he pushed me out right away.
"Seifer is fine. He's been adjusting here really well, he and Dad seem to get along," Ellone said with a bright smile.
"Well, Isn't that nice…" I wonder what Squall is hiding form me…
"It really would have been nice to have you on the decoration committee, next time there's an event like this I'll give you a call."
"Okay," I said with a big smile.
"Well I'll let you two go, although you should save a dance for me okay," she said patting Squall on the head. "Remember what I said okay?" He nodded and my curiosity was peaked. Maybe I'll be able to steal a glance when he's sleeping…
