Chapter Seven: Suicide
She was about half asleep when the phone rang. She groggily picked it up, "Hello?"
"Miss Almasy?" Xu asked.
"Yes?" Ceres responded, quickly becoming wide awake.
"I have spoken with Headmaster Cid and he has come up with a suitable punishment."
"And what's that?"
"Until further notice, you both are under suspension, you may not leave your rooms unless it is for class or to train."
"OK" Ceres answered, 'It's not really that bad,' she thought to herself.
"Also" Xu continued, "You and Mr. Dincht may not have any contact at all.
"WHAT?!" Ceres screamed into the phone, "WHAT THE FUCK!?"
"That is all, have a good day Ms. Almasy," Xu responded, hanging up on her.
Ceres threw the phone against the wall, "You stupid fucking bitch!"
She sighed and threw herself on her bed, tears welling in her eyes. The past few weeks had been complete bliss. She was beginning to think that she was in love with Zell Dincht..
'It's just like before,' Ceres thought to herself, 'Everytime I finally find something or someone who makes me happy, they are taken away...'
She reached under her pillow, and took out her razor blade. "Hello, old friend of mine," she muttered. She hadn't cut herself since Seifer was assumed dead. But, she hadn't felt this bad since then.
She took the razor and carefully dragged it across her skin, barely flinching at the pain as the bright redness began to appear on her arms. The more she thought about it, the madder she got, the harder she pushed.
A knock came from her door, "Is anyone there?" came a voice that could only be Selphie.
"Go 'way.." Ceres mumbled. She tried to stand up, but only managed to stumble a little bit.
Everything was going black. "Are you ok?" Selphie called through the door.
"Yeah!" Ceres yelled back, "I'm just going to get some sleep!"
"OK!" Selphie answered, and Ceres fell on her bed, listening to Selphie's foots
teps echo throughout the halls, then die down to nothing.
Ceres sighed, 'Why did it all have to get so complicated?' she asked herself, 'Why did I have to fall in love? I'm not here for that, I am here to avenge my brother..'
"My brother.." she said to herself, forcing herself to sit up. She stood shakily and reached by her couch and grabbed her brother's old weapon. "I'll avenge you, Seifer.." she said, her voice shaking almost as bad as she was.
Slowly, she made her way to Cid's office, suprisingly, no one stopped her. If only they knew what she had in mind...
