We walked into the cafeteria. It was smaller then I thought with only a few tables towards the
left. Selphie's friends had slid two tables together and were sitting at them. Zell and Quistis
were on one side and Rinoa Irvine and Squall were on the other. Selphie sensed that I
was a little nervous.

"Don't be worry. I'll introduce you to them."

We walked over. Zell looked at me. "Hey you're Iris right?"

Before I could even responded Selphie answered for me. "Yes this is Iris Lanca the new
student. Iris this is Zell, Quistis, Rinoa, Squall, and Irvine." I shook each of their hands. Zell
pulled out a seat and I sat next to him. Selphie sat by Irvine, who was looking at me oddly.

Finally he spoke.

"I think I remember you...you used to be at Galbadia right?"

"Yes..."

He grinned. "You don't remember me at all do you?"

I felt a little embarrassed. "Not really."

He didn't seem offended by it. "That's ok I have a good memory. I sat by you in Instructor
Emelson's class."

Suddenly the memories flooded into me. Irvine Kinneas, Galbadia's biggest player. I smiled.
"I remember now."

He kind of shut up about that subject than. I think he could tell by my smile that I remembered
what he was like.

The rest of lunch was pleasant. Everyone told me about the different people around Garden.
Headmaster Cid, Xu, Nida, etc. At one o' clock we all got ready to head back to class again.
I picked up my bag and followed the gang to the door. Just as we were leaving the disciplinary
committee walked in. They moved out of the to let everyone pass. I went to pass as well but
Seifer blocked the way. "Well it seems you've made some new friends."

I looked up at him. "I suppose so...what does it matter to you?"

He leaned against the frame of the door. "Well It's part of being the disciplinary committee.
You know, making sure the new kids have their head on straight."
Raijin spoke. "Is that a new thing we're doing or something? Because we never–OOMPH"
Seifer hit him in the stomach.

"Don't listen to him he doesn't know what he's talking about." He held out his arm for me to
take. "How about I escort you to class?" I wasn't really sure what to do. Selphie and them
weren't great friends with him but...

I took his arm and we headed towards the classroom once again. I was a little suspicious but
he seemed ok. It didn't seem like the Seifer I had heard so much about. We walked into the
classroom and I sat in the seat next to Zell. Seifer reclaimed his old seat. Zell leaned over
towards me. "What's up with you and Seifer?"

"Nothing. He's just being like that because I have detention or something." Zell looked
disbelieving but didn't say anything. I looked back at Seifer. He was etching something into his
desk with a small blade. I sighed. He's not exactly charming.

After class I went back to my room to put my books and notes away. My dorm was very quiet
compared to the noise of the halls. The room next to mine was unoccupied so I was all alone.
I sat on my bed and looked at my alarm clock. 4:45 P.M. I didn't even get to rest and I
already have to leave again. I grabbed my bag and quickly messed with my hair before leaving
once again.

I reached the detention room only to see that I was all alone. I sat down in a front seat and
took out my notebook and started doodling again. One of my favorite things to do is draw. I
started making a picture of everyone at lunch.

"Very nice." I jumped, startled that someone else was in the room. Seifer grinned. "The only
problem is you're not allowed to draw in Detention."

"Well what am I going to do for the next hour then?"

"Stare at the wall. Or me."

I rolled my eyes. "What fun."

The next few minutes passed by slowly. Seifer was looking at a magazine of some sort. I put
my head in my hands, the events of the day making me tired...

BAM! I snapped my head up. He had dropped a pile of books on the floor. "There's also no
sleeping in detention." I looked at my watch. Only fifteen minutes had gone by.

"I can't take this! This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of! I spend an hour doing
absolutely nothing just because I was trying to get to class on time!"

He seemed to be thinking. "Tell you what. Meet me tonight in the "secret area" of the training
center and you can leave now."

"Why?"

"Just meet me there. You'll find out later."

I picked up my things and left. Debating whether or not to go.


Ok I'm going to try something new. I want everyone's opinion. She'll either go or not go, you
readers (if there is any hehe) will decide. I'll continue doing this with this fic.
