Author's Note: I don't own anything. Please don't sue. Thanks for reviewing
people!! ^^ Or otherwise I wouldn't have known about all the mistakes I
made. This one is a bit shorter (what am I saying? It's just SHORT), with
curses. I'm running out of ideas… ;_; … anyone know any good Queifer I can
read to get my inspiration back??
Chp. 2. – Lesson Number One
Quistis was sitting at her desk and grading papers, at the same time eating her lunch. She was supposed to tutor Seifer after dinner that day, but she didn't know what she was going to do. The SeeD test wasn't a written test based on academics, and she was certain Seifer would have no problem fighting in the mission. Infact, if he had only followed orders last time, he would have passed. Maybe that was what Cid wanted her to teach him, but how? She was beginning to get hopeless.
Quistis leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples. She thought she heard whimpering, and looked up. She saw Selphie walking in the halls, on the verge of tears. Quistis wondered why, Selphie was always so bright an cheerful and happy. No one ever made her cry, at least, not anyone that she could remember.
"Selphie?!" Quistis called out.
Selphie stopped and looked around for the source of the voice. She spotted Quistis and walked into the classroom, sniffling.
"Hi Quistis." She greeted the Instructor sullenly.
"What's wrong Selphie?" Quistis got up form her desk and walked over to Selphie. Quistis saw that her eyes were a bit red. Her older sister instinct took over and Quistis gave her a tissue and a hug.
"S- Sei – Seifer called me a bimbo!" She cried. Quistis sighed.
"Oh Selphie. Don't worry about him." Quistis said. "He doesn't mean it, he's just being a jerk."
"Go that right!" Selphie sat down in one of the chairs. "He's being mean for no reason or whatsoever! All I said was 'hi'. He insults people who give him weird looks. I saw him kick at a dog who barked at him!" Selphie blew her nose. "He's so mean now, he wasn't like that before."
Quistis nodded, trying to calm her down. She didn't understand it, it was only a year he was away, but he had changed so much. "Remember how he was when he was a kid? He was always mean. Don't worry about it Selphie."
Selphie laughed. "Like when he knocked over the stool I needed to get down from the tree house?"
"Or when he drove his bike over the clothes we were washing?"
"Or maybe like when he slammed the door on our fingers?"
"And when he pushed Irvine into the water when he couldn't swim yet?" Quistis added. She smiled when she saw that Selphie was laughing again.
Selphie sighed in content, Quistis always managed to make her feel better, even if it was only something small. She was like that when they were young too. She looked around the classroom, and spotted the lunch on the desk. "What's that?"
"Oh," Quistis walked back over to her desk. "I need to finish grading papers since I can't do it tonight. I have to tutor Sei –" She stopped, and changed the subject, not wanting to make Selphie cry again. "So, when are you and Zell going out?"
Selphie looked up in surprise, but smiled. It wasn't like Quistis to be so blurt, and she could see it, since Quistis suddenly looked uncomfortable and was a bit pink. Selphie's own cheeks were a light red. "Me? And Zell? Whatever gave you that idea?"
"Oh nothing." Quistis quickly replied. 'Where'd that come from?'
"I don't really know. Zell likes the girl in the library." Selphie sighed, "maybe if _I_ was in the library more he'll like me too." She blushed, for real this time. Selphie placed her hands on her cheeks to cool it down. "Uh – I mean! –I gotta go! Selphie jumped up and headed for the classroom door. After a while, she turned around. "Quistis?"
"Yes?" Quistis asked.
"I know I bet Rinoa that Seifer will fail the test, I hope you get to keep being an Instructor."
Quistis smiled at the short brunette. "Thank you Selphie."
`~*~'
Seifer glanced at the clock on the wall of Quistis' classroom. It was 8, and Quistis was late. _Quistis_. Not him. What a thing to rub back in her face.
Out of breath, Quistis ran into the room. She blushed when she saw that Seifer was already there. He stared back at her, panting like she ran over and down a mountain. She leaned on her desk in such a way that Seifer could see down her blouse. Seifer stared at her cleavage. Quistis frowned, and followed his eyes down. She held the blouse opening closed.
Seifer laughed. "You're late Instructor."
Quistis sat down in her chair as dignified as possible. "I was stuck in traffic."
"And why were you in traffic?"
"That's none of your business!" Quistis snapped. She wasn't exactly very happy right now, and his attitude was getting on her nerves.
"So, what do you plan to teach me?" Seifer leaned back in his chair. "If anything, I should be teaching _you_ how to pass the test. I don't need help."
"But I'm not the one who didn't pass!" Quistis exclaimed. "And you're not the only one who can fight Mr. Almasy. I know perfectly well how to defend myself."
"Fine then. What do you suppose you'll be teaching me?" Seifer asked casually.
"I was thinking about it, and you are right, you don't need help. But because you didn't follow orders last time, you didn't pass." Quistis stated, staring at Seifer. "That's what I'm going to help you with – following orders."
"And just how do you suppose you do that?" Seifer asked, amused.
Quistis smirked. "I have just the idea."
"This is pathetic!" Seifer shouted to Quistis, who was behind the chair tying up a knot. _His_ knot, which was tying him to the chair. Quistis had ran out a few minutes ago to buy something, and then came back to tie him up. Quistis could laugh, but she kept it back.
She stood up after making sure that the knot was tight. There was no way Seifer could go anywhere. The chair was nailed to the ground, and Seifer wasn't psychic, so the chair wasn't going to go anywhere – neither was Seifer. Quistis walked over to the bag and picked out a red ripe tomato.
"What are you going to do? Seduce me?"
"No!" Quistis snapped. "You're going to follow orders, that's what you're going to do, and since you were such a jerk yesterday, this assignment is perfect for you."
"What did I do yesterday?"
"Call Rinoa a slut, not to mention turning up the volume on the radio so loud I couldn't sleep."
"So what? The boy who sleeps in the room next to my other side wasn't complaining."
"Because they're too afraid to!" Quistis yelled. "Now come on! Stop changing the subject!"
Seifer glared at her. "What a bitch. Loosen up."
Quistis throw the tomato up and down in the air carefully, and glared back at Seifer.
"What are you going to do with that?"
"I'm going to teach you a lesson." She told him. "You have to follow my order, which is to stay in that chair, don't make a sound, and closed your eyes, or you'll get tomatoes in your eyes." Quistis held up the fruit. "While you're doing that, I hit you with my bag of fruits."
"What am I!!?? Some clown?!!!" Seifer yelled, leaning as far as the rope would let him. "Fuck you! Hyne! No way!"
"Yes way!" Quistis yelled back. "Now close your eyes or I won't untie you!!!"
Seifer groaned, but closed his eyes. Quistis grinned, 'This is going to be fun!' She took aim, and let go.
SPLAT!!
AN: Yes I made mistakes before, so this is again my 2ed time to post this chapter up. I'll remember to reread it over next time….
