Quistis watched, puzzled, as a note was slipped under her door into her room. She wrenched the door open and looked outside. There was no one. Shrugging, she picked up the slip of paper, slipped on her reading glasses, and read the following words:

'To my beloved Miss Trepe:'

She stopped momentarily to scorn the 'my' in the greeting. She absolutely detested being treated and spoken of as a possession.

'I was watching you today. And as you walked by, I felt the breath escape from my lips. Your radiant beauty outshines the sun.'

At this, Quistis sighed. It was probably another Trepie. Another stalker. How annoying! Her hopes of ever having a love letter not from a Trepie was dissolving.

'The sound of your sweet voice is like music to my ears.'

*This guy has ears?!* Quistis thought, amused.

'Please meet me tonight at the "secret area." If you come here, you'll find me, I promise.'

Quistis groaned. *Another Rinoa/Squall wannabe. Great.*

Since it was already about 11:30, she decided *Oh what the heck. Why not, there's nothing else to d.*

~20 minutes later~

Quistis tromped through the training center, thinking. *If it's another lesbian Trepie….And if another person tries to rape me…*

Author's Note: Her grip on the can tightened.

When she finally arrived at the "Secret Area," she found the cowboy, Irvine, standing there. Her hair practically stood on end in shock. He heard the leaves crunching and turned around.

"Quisty!"

Back at the dorms, a bloodcurdling scream was heard.

Squall sat up in bed. "What was that?"

"It's nothing, go back to sleep. "Rinoa flumped back down. She was staying in his dorm due to the lack of any other room elsewhere.

"But it sounded like Quistis!"

"It wasn't, go to sleep."

~Throughout Garden~

"HEELLLLPP!!!!" Qusitis ran all over the whole garden, shouting. "SAVE ME!!" Irvine was barely a foot away from Qusitis, yelling "Come back! I love you!"

Desperately, Qusitis took the mace can and squeezed on the lever as hard as she could.

"OWWW!! HOW COULD YOU,QUISTY! I LOVE YOU!" but he continued running.

"I know! That's why I had to mace you!" Quistis panted.

Blinded with pain and sorrow, Irvine smashed into the wall.

*BAM!!!* Quistis winced. She lost no time in running to the dormitory. Unfortunately, it was the wrong dormitory. She'd gone into the guy's dorm.

Author's note: Uh oh……bad news…..

In the hallway, she saw Seifer making out with another girl. She recognized the girl as a student in period 3. She started crying, not realizing it until a drop hit her hand. Then, she asks herself, Damnit, why am I crying?" Seifer suddenly looked up and saw her. Quistis came back to reality and ran away.

~In the Morning~

"Good morning class."Quistis said in her usual tone.

Author's Note: Seifer is in period 1.

"Today we'll be studying the history of GFs, open your textbooks to page 325. Who would like to read out loud?" All the Trepies raised their hands. She picked one of them to read and assigned them problems 1-6, telling them to turn it at the end of the period. Seifer got up and walked to Quistis. She didn't say or do anything. In fact, she seemed to be pretending that he wasn't there.

"Instructor?"

"Hmmmm?"

"Can I talk to you um…." Seifer eyed the 15 pairs of jealous eyes glaring at him. "Alone?"

"Sure." They went outside of the room.

"Why are you hiding it?"

Quistis gave her best blank look at him. "Hiding what?"

"You know, last night?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." A head popped out "Hello, Quisty! I love you!"

"AHHH!!" Quistis screamed, jumping into Seifer's arms.

"Awwww…don't do that, you're just trying to make me jealous! Stop it!" Irvine whined.

"Let go of me!" Quistis yelled, pushing away.

Seifer let go and she dropped to the floor with a thud.

"Not like that!" she rubbed her back. "Damn you!"

"You're the one who told me to let go." Seifer looked hurt.

She waved her hand in frustration and returned to the classroom.

~ In the Cafeteria~

Quistis was chatting with Squall and Rinoa when…" I LOVE YOU Quisty!"

"Damn you!!" Quistis knocked him out with her lunch tray. Squall and Rinoa watched in shocked silence. Then, Squall advised quietly, "You really shouldn't beat him like that."

Quistis was so overcome with fury, she just stood there, fuming. Her pupils had turned blood-red.

Anyway, Irvine, who suddenly seemed invincible and could never die; popped up AGAIN, this time, when she was going to take a shower.

"BUG!!!!!!" she screamed and whammed a sledgehammer on him a few times. She fled from her dorm to Seifer's.

"Seifer?" she called, tentatively knocked on the door. She didn't want to go to Squall since he'd disapproved of her beating Seifer up. Zell wasn't that big on ideas for beating people up.

The door swung open and standing there, was that girl from period 3.

"Seifer's in the shower." She answered. "Should I tell him you came by, Instructor?"

"Oh…no don't. It's alright."

"Well, ok then, see you tomorrow, Instructor." She closed the door.

Quistis stood there, shocked and dazed. She'd hoped that the girl and Seifer didn't have that kind of relationship, but… she was wrong. No hope in fooling herself any longer. She shook her head and rubbed her temples. She couldn't…be… in love with…Seifer!! He was her student after all, it wouldn't be right. Right? She slapped her hand to her head in frustration, and left.

"Hello Quisty!"

Quiseis maced Irvine once more and left for her dorm. And of course, she secured all entries.

"Damn it all!" Zell exclaimed.
