Chapter 3

"Fuji, there you are. I've been looking every where for you!" Seifer yelled out as he burst through the door.

He walked over to where the two had been sitting with a slight strut in his step. "Fuji c'mon you know we're suppose to meet Rajin at in the auto garage so we can drive to Balamb for lunch. Don't tell me you forgot?"

Fujin nodded her head and walked over to the teacher's desk to collect her belongings. "Its 3:30 have you've been sitting here babysitting Chicken-Wuss all this time? Jeez Zell can't they even put you in detention without screwing it up for everyone else?"

Zell looked up at Seifer who was standing by Fujin. "You never even get the least bit tired of listening to yourself talk do you?" He said.

"Awe did crybaby Zell finally decide to grow a backbone?" he retorted.

"Ya'know I can't help but notice how I'm a SeeD and you can't even apply for a simple field test." Zell said as he stood up.

Seifer's smile quickly left his face as he started walking over to Zell. It didn't make matters any better as he over heard Fujin remark, "Zell.One. Seifer.Zero."

Once he was face to face with Zell he lifted his head up with that mischievous grin of his. "That was pretty good. You almost sounded like a man when you said it too, almost."

Zell shoulders started shaking, "What did you say?" But in the corner of his eye he could see Fujin staring at him. He tried to calm down. "Tch., whatever I'm outta here." And with that he left the room after giving Fujin one last smile as he was walking out the door.

"C'mon we're not going to get to go to lunch if we don't get moving. You got your things?" Seifer asked in a light mannered tone.

"Affirmative." She answered back.

Seifer looked at her. "Whats wrong with you? You look as though you miss something."

She thought about maybe talking to him about it, but decided against it. "Its.nothing." She said. She looked around one last time and then the two turned out the lights and headed to the elevator.

When Zell left the classroom he headed to the elevator and decided to walk around the main lobby. He had a lot of things going through his mind. He wasn't hungry witch was a little odd. But he just couldn't get her out of his mind what had just transpired in that small room he was just in.

I guess that's why she didn't want me calling her Fuji, because that's what Seifer calls her. He thought to himself. "Why does Seifer always have to have the last word? And Fujin, why can't I get her out of my head? The way she looks, her laugh, she even smells nice." He thought out loud.

He had never felt this way before. He's had crushes on girls before: Quistis, Selphie. But this felt like something deeper than that. By now he had walked around the lobby again and again. When he finally stopped to sit down he was in front of the hallway that led to the dorms.

"Hey Zell, what are you doing sitting there by yourself?"

Zell looked up to see Quistis looking down at him.

"Oh nothing much, just thinking to myself." He answered back.

She smiled at him. "Does it have to do with that girl from the library?"

"No, why?"

"Oh nothing I just heard you two were getting kinda close. Did I hear wrong?" She said while tilting her head.

Zell put a hand over his eyes to block out the sun that was coming in from the left. "Yeah pretty much. It's like I told Fujin; she's nice but I just don't feel the same way as she does."

Quistis nodded her head obviously agreeing with what Zell had to say. Then she had a look of intrigue.

"Since when do you and Fujin talk about your love life?'

As he thought about the time the two spent together Zell raised his head a little. "It was while I was in detention."

"So you don't like her? Why not? She's nice enough isn't she?" She tried to probe a little deeper.

Zell let out a small sigh. "If you have to know, I'm interested in someone else."

Quistis' eyes widened. "Really who is it? Do I know her?"

Zell started smiling. "Yeah you could say you know her. She's not like anyone I have ever met before.

Just as he finished talking he heard a small group of people from far off. He stood up and walked a little ways to see Seifer heading towards the parking garage, he watched as Seifer turned the corner. Then Rajin, and finally Fujin. Zell merely glanced at Seifer and Rajin as they headed out. But when he saw Fujin he went completely silent. He just stood there watching the way her hair bounced with every step. He was so busy watching her that he didn't notice Quistis trying to talk to him.

"Zell, Zell! What are you looking at?" She pushed him off to her right and tried to look in the direction that Zell had been putting all his attention to. All she managed to see was Rajin and Fujin turn a corner. Then it hit her.

"Oh my god. It's Fujin isn't it?"

Zell turned his head in shock. "What? How did you know that?"

Quistis with a sympathetic look simply answered, "Zell it's obvious, unless there was another girl you were staring at just seeing the way you were staring at Fujin just screams you have feelings towards her."

Zell turned away from her. "I've never felt like this about anyone, I don't know what I should do. All I know is I just want to be around her"

Quistis put a hand on his shoulder to try to comfort him. "It's ok Zell we've all been there at one time or another. Just try to be careful. Who knows how Seifer will react if he ever found out how you feel about her. And one last thing; remember to keep in mind that her happiness should come first, not yours."

Zell hugged Quistis for her wonderful advice. They said their goodbyes and then the two went their separate ways. Zell thought he could use a good work out and maybe tire himself out. Quistis went to the cafeteria for lunch and maybe to talk to Rinoa about what Zell had told her.

In a small restaurant in Balamb, Seifer Rajin and Fujin had just sat down and ordered their regular plates. When they were kicked off of Garden they spent many days in that restaurant just sitting talking to each other making sure they wouldn't be separated again. Seifer was the first of the three to start the conversation. Like he always did.

"Man, I just can't stand that Crybaby Zell. I don't know how you could put up with him for so long Fujin. Doesn't he get annoying as hell?"

Fujin with as calm a tone as she could put out simply replied, "No.Pleasant."

Seifer was almost in shock. "Pleasant? Don't' tell me you actually liked having him around you. He cries about everything. I don't even see how his friends can stand him."

She stood by her argument. "Pleasant."

"Whatever." Seifer replied back. He quickly tried to change the subject. What about you Rajin, what did you do today aside from baby sitting Zell?"

Rajin swallowed hard and drank some juice to wash down the food he was eating. "I was in the library and over heard one of the girls talking about Zell. Ya'know the one with the pigtail? Well she's like in love with him ya'know. She acts like their betrothed or something, I don't know what she could be thinking."

"See even Rajin agrees with me." Seifer almost shouted out.

Fujin became really silent and just finished the rest of her meal without talking for the rest of the time they spent in the restaurant. How does he feel about her? If he feels the same then does that mean that moment we shared meant nothing to him? Then was he just using me? What kind of a person would do that? Guess that's what I get for letting someone get close to me. That will be the last time I let that happen again. I don't want to see him for a while at least. And to think I defended him against Seifer. Although he did push Seifer's buttons in the classroom. Fujin let out a small smile thinking about it. Then quickly wiped it away. NO he's bad I can't think of him like that.but he has such a cute smile. No I can't trust him I can't let him get to me like that. But then what if he feels the same way I do? What were to happen if I lost that because he's with another girl or if he just up and left? I don't know what I would do then. I should just forget it ever happened and forget him as well. Fujin felt hurt. Thinking that Zell was just using her to pass the time not really caring about her and the way she opened up to him made her feel betrayed. Just when she started to feel like she wasn't alone anymore it all crumbled down again.

"Hey Fujin. We have to head back now ya'know." Rajin snapped her back into what was happening. She cleared off her plate put her tray away. She stepped out of the restaurant and got in the car that would take them back to the garden. Seifer looked at her on the way back.

"Hey Fuji you ok? You seem quieter than usual. Anything you want to get off you chest?" He flashed his smile and she looked out the window.

"Negative.He's doesn't.matter.anymore."

Seifer's eyes narrowed, "He? Whom are you talking about?"

Fujin sighed and looked back out the window with a sad look on her face. "He's.Forgotten."

When they reached the Garden most of the students were all in their dorms. Seifer and Rajin felt tired and bid Fujin a good night before heading off. She decided to stay up a while and maybe walk around a bit. It was a little after 10:00pm when she saw him. He had just come out of the library. That same girl was following out. She watched as they talked from afar. Then she saw the girl give something to Zell and then kiss him on the cheek. She felt too hurt to watch anymore and started to walk back to her single dorm. Zell rubbed the back of his head like he always did when he got nervous. But he couldn't accept her gift.

"I'm sorry Amber, but I can't take this. I know you have a crush on me but I'm so, so very sorry but I don't feel the same way as you do."

She began to cry and then ran off in embarrassment. Zell reached out to her but she was gone before he could do anything. He turned around and could have sworn he saw a shadow moving. When he followed it he saw Fujin walking down the hall. He tried calling out to her but she didn't respond. So he ran up and caught up with her.

"Hey just the person I was looking for. I want to talk to you." But she cut him off.

"Leave.Me Alone."

Zell was confused. "But why Fujin? I thought we had something here."

She reached her room and turned around to face him. "Not.Right.Together. Your.Forgotten."

He tried to reach for her arm. "But there's nothing going on between me and her, honest."

She kicked his shin. "Jerk." Then she went into her dorm and shut the door on him.

He was trying to talk through the door, trying to reach her. "Did I do something wrong? Please you have to tell me. Don't' do this Fujin please. I'm begging you. Don't tell me that out talk didn't mean anything. That when I made you laugh it wasn't special. That when you feel alone you don't wish someone like me is there with you. C'mon open the door.Please? Push me away all you want but I'm not going anywhere. Please tell me what I did wrong."

But there was only silence. Zell slumped down to his knees and rested his head on the door. He was desperately trying to think of something else to say. But he couldn't think of anything. So after ten minutes he picked him self up and went to his room. All the while Fujin sat on her bead crying, hurt because of what she saw. And crying because she just didn't want to be alone anymore.
