CHAPTER 6
MEETING ONCE AGAIN
SQUALL
I stood there not being able to think of what to do. I was mortified! So this is what she's been doing all the time she's gone. Maybe that's why she broke up with me! She don't like me anymore. She realized what an asshole am I and she found another guy. But not just another guy. Its SEIFER!! My mortal enemy and rival. It's like she's deliberately hurting me like this! After one "serious" relationship she just jumps to another?! Girls aren't like that!! Most girls cry a lot and grieve a lot after a relationship. But maybe she's not like most girls. She's not serious about me. She didn't love me the way I expect her to be.
And of all people?!! Seifer?! Boy, she really knows how to hurt a guy.
Maybe they have already been seeing each other behind my back even before. And now that she's been freed, she runs to her Seifer!! I didn't expect it to be like this! All this time I've ben regretting myself for hurting her. I thought she's so miserable right now.. And I decided to come to her and renew myself. But heck NO! She's been having the time of her life without me!!!
(I don't really want to think about this)
DAMN!
I watched as the two flirt with each other as if they knew I was watching. After Seifer purchased a bouquet of flowers, he handed them to Rinoa then got his wallet from his pocket and gave the store keeper some bills. I can tell that he bought the most expensive and beautiful flowers in the flower shop to impress Rinoa.
(I also buy her flowers although only those who are not so expensive. But atleast I still do. And besides, its already enough to show my thoughtfulness.)
They began to walk away from the flowershop. I decided to stalk them to find out what they have been doing. I try to stay away as far as possible but still try to caught up with them. I don't want them to see me. I blend with the townpeople so as not to be noticed. After a 10-minute walk, they went in an apartment. I supposed this is where Seifer lives becauseI know that he wasn't allowed to stay at Balamb Garden courtesy of me of course. The headmaster actually decided to give Seifer a chance to stay at our garden but I protested coz he just might cause some trouble in the campus. Being a respected leader, they approved of my suggestions.
I figured the Seifer might be planning to trick Rinoa on to something, After all, Seifer doesn't do a thing unless he has some evil scheme to it. I don't trust Seifer. Even some students said that he actually change. They don't know Seifer the way that I do. Since childhood, he has been a hobby of my pain. It maybe a way to get revenge on me. Maybe he's using Rinoa or maybe Rinoa is with him all along. Either way, I know he's up to no good.
My head began to hurt. I still cannot take the fact that Rinoa has dumped me in exchange for Seifer........... There must be some explanations to this. I can feel that Rinoa still loves me. Maybe.... Rinoa sees what a jerk am I then left me... But why Seifer???!!!! This is insane... My eyes begin to water. But I try my best to keep them from falling. I can't cry here... I can't breakdown here where a lot of people can see me.
But I can't let him have Rinoa!! I have to get her back somehow! I can't see anything inside the house. But it pains me seeing them making out behind the windows I've been staring for a couple of minutes now. I have to stop my imagination for imagining stupid things. I slowly walked away walking backwards still not letting my eyes leave the window of the apartment.
(I'll come back, Rinoa... I'm going to get you back.. Eventhough you have already hurt me. I can't afford you to be with somebody.. epecially with that Seifer.)
I whispered as if Rinoa can hear me.. then wipe the tears in the corner of my eyes that almost escape to my cheeks....
RINOA
Seifer has been really sweet to me today. He bought me the most beautiful flowers I ever saw. I know he doesn't have that too many money coz he's not really a high-class SeeD yet... and so his salary is not that high. But yet, he bought me this expensive flowers just to cheer me up. Squall on the other hand, is the highest commanding officer therefore has the highest salary but he would never ever waste his wealth to buy me any special gifts. And this Squall, is so insensitive. He definitely doesn't know how to please me. He just knows how to please himself. And most of the time. he acts as if he doesn't have a girlfriend! He only goes out with me whenever he has a freetime, which is a very rare case, coz he'd rather be with his friends (or some hot girl) rather than me. And whenever I'm with him, for him its seems more like torture that he has to stay with this bratty, totally boring girlfriend of his. While Seifer, probably the sweetest, most romantic, and most sensitive guy ever.
What did I see in Squall anyway? The most obnoxious, pathetic, lying creep ever!!!
And yet..... I AM still madly inlove with him... Yes.. that's true... I ca't seem to take my mind of him.. eventhough I know his out there in his desk, still have some working to do, or probably in bed with some other girl........ While Seifer, just a room away... but.............
(What am I doing???)
(I've got to stop comparing them..)
I'm with Seifer now, he wouldn't like it if he finds out that I'm still so into Squall... I have to stop my feelings for him. I have to forget about him. I have to move on with my life... with Seifer...
He broke my heart. I love him with all my heart leaving nothing to myself. And yet,this is what he had done to me. I tried to be patient with him a lot of times thinking he might change. But he didn't.
Leaving him for good is probably the smartest thing to do. It will teach him a lesson not to take me for granted.
What? Who am I kidding? He probably still hasn't noticed that I'm missing. He doesn't give a damn about me. I'm just one girl he used for his sexual desires. And now that he had already used me, he's treating me like trash.....
(I should stop thinking about him if I'm gonna have to move on!)
I stare at the flowers Seifer had given me. What adorable and pretty flowers they are! I have to atleast pay him what for what he has done for me, I thought.....
I went outside of my room and found Seifer reading his notes. It seems like he has a big test coming up for tomorrow. I can see with the look in his face. He looks serious and carefully absorbing the facts from his pad.
His face lit up when he saw me.
"Oh, hi Rin... anything you want?"
"Nothing, I'm okay.. I'm just trying to see what you've been doing", I replied.
"Oh this, its nothing, why? You want to go out or something?"
I do want to go out with him. Maybe sat by the shores of the beach. But it seems like he's studying and trying to hide that fact from me. He knew me too well, he knows when I want something. But seeing him earlier, I felt guilty if I force him to come with me. He hasn't have any enough studying lately coz he's busy making me happy.
"Oh, c'mon.. what are you doing? It's gotta be something.."
"Well, we have a test tomorrow at the garden, and I was just reviewing these notes. I already know them, so if there is something you want, just tell me."
I was amazed on how he put other things behind just because of me. He just gave some lame reasons so that I wouldn't notice. But I knew that this weekend, this is the first time he opened his notes. So I figured, he still don't know a thing. Instead of pursuing him, I realized I'd just let him study. He needs it.
"Well, how about if I make you some snacks while you study. I don't really want to bother you. So just stay here here reviewing your notes and I go to the kitchen so as not to bother you."
"But you're not bo....." I didn't let him finish so I cut him off.. "I insist! And besides, your'e gonna like what I'm going to feed you."
Feeling atleast relieve, he put his eyes back on to his notes. And with that, I disappeared into the kitchen.
-------
"CLICK!!"
The oven finally sounded. My cookies are done. I hope Seifer will like it. Cookies are my specialty and I want Seifer to taste it. I pulled a tray from its position then put my cookies to a bowl then place it to the tray. I grabbed the glass of juice that I made earlier and put it to tray together with the bowl of cookies. This will probably put Seifer's stress away. After all, I made the best cookies back in the garden!!
I saw Seifer's hand by his forehead with his eyas closed. He must have dozed off. I arrange his notepads to order for itis quite a mess. Suddenly Seifer looked up.
"I thought your'e sleeping."
"I was just resting my eyes." Behind his stressful face, he never failed to give a smile.
"Why don't you take a break for a while? Here, I've made this snack especially for you."
"Thanks." He grabbed a cookie then took a bite. Then he smiled more....
"Mmmmm.... did you bake this? This is like the best cookies ever!", Seifer said excitedly.
"Of course.. you deserve it..", I said sincerely.
He grabbed me in the hips with his free hand and move closer to me, with food all over his mouth, he whispered "I love you, Rin.."
I wiped his mouth with the towel in my hands then said, "Me, too......."
I will eventually forget about Squall...I definitely will.... I said to myself......
SQUALL
I walked hurriedly to the corridors of the classroom poking my head with every room I passed by looking for Quistis.
Where is that Quistis? And why does the headmaster have to assign me to deliver these papers to her anyway? There are lots of other students standing there beside him. Why always me. This is just a lame task to do. And anybody can do it. He doesn't need a SQUALL LEONHART to deliver these test papers to Quistis.
Usually I just follow his orders without complaining. But lately, I seemd to be more grouchy. I know why... I've been like this ever since Rinoa left. *sigh*.. how I missed her.
I finally found the room Quistis is staying. I waited by the door trying to get Quistis' attention who is busy explaining something to her students. One of the trepies, finally informed her that I was calling for her. Quistis turned to me and sighed with relief like thinking 'thank God the papers finally arrived'.. Its test day today and these students are already 10 minutes late because of me. Despite her annoyance for the tardiness, Quistis managed to smile and say 'thanks'. I just rolled my eyes and walked away. Quistis still has this thing for me and probably more than happy that I was the one who had to deliver the papers.
I was walking with my head down low when somebody came running from behind. A student who is probably late.. I thought. I looked forward only to see Seifer running away before dissappearing to one of the classrooms.
Seifer?
Visions of him kissing Rinoa came back to my mind. I realized that I'm clenching my fist as if getting ready to punch a boxer. I'll kill him if anything happens to Rinoa.
Wait a minute.... if he's here, then probably Rinoa is all alone to his apartment! This will be a good chance to talk to her. I desperately want to get her back. Obviously, Seifer and Rinoa are already together, but I don't care. She's mine in the first place. Hope the headmaster allows me to leave the garden for a while.
----------
"Alright, but make sure you'll be back as soon as you can." I sigh with relief as the headmaster mentioned these words. He's ear is still stuck to the telephone. I never expected him to allow me. I have lots of unfinished tasks latelty coz I was bothered with Rinoa's dissappearance. But instead, the headmaster concluded this short conversation by allowing me to go. I can tell that whatever they are probably discussing is probably important that's why he doesn't want to be bothered.
"Thanks!" I left the room but the headmastr didn't seem to notice it....
I change to my best strolling clothes, sprayed a lot of perfume, combed my hair a million times, polished my shoes trying to come up with a mirror image into it. Its like I was going to a high-classed party! I kinda liked it though. I hope Rinoa gives me a chance.....
---------
I looked at my watch, there are still two and half hours before the students are be dismissed. I'm only a block away from Seifer's apartment. But I can already feel my heart racing of nervousness. The beating in my heart goes faster as I came closer and closer. Until the apartment came in to view. At that sight, I hesitated.
I can't do this? What could I possibly say to her? Maybe she's happy with her life now. Maybe she doesn't need me anymore.
But I looked at my life right now. I'm so miserable. I have to do this.
I go back again taking steps closer to the apartment. This time, much bigger and faster steps. Until I find myself directly outside Seifer's apartment. I swallowed hard before placing my fist inches away from the door.
*Knock-Knock!*
-------------------------------------
What do you think will happen????
------------------------------------
Well??? What do you think????? Do you like it??? Please Review!!!
Thanx for all your reviews and opinions!!! I appreciate all of them!! Love you all!!!
And don't worry, Squall won't take Rinoa back so easily... that bastard!! hehehe....
Chapter 7 is comin up!!!
