Chapter Seventeen: Suspicious Behaviour
Everything had returned to normal at Balamb Garden. Seifer had resumed his role of the asshole, and took to calling Zell "Chicken-Wuss" again. Ceres and Zell got quite serious in their relationship. Quistis went back to being the instructor, and Selphie went back to being.. well.. Selphie. Squall was still quiet and cold and Rinoa still hung on his every word.
The only thing that remained different was the absence of the Headmaster. The SeeDs were hard at work trying to find him, and they weren't accepting that many missions because the search took of up most of their time.
Ceres had begun to develop a suspicion, and over the past few days, it had grown and grown. She had talked to Seifer about it, not naming names, just asking random questions.
She had also talked to everyone else she knew, including the suspect themself. Ceres lied in bed, contemplating how she could turn her suspicions into fact. She knew who did it, and why they did it, she just didn't know how to prove it.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She sat straight up, and called Zell, Selphie, and Seifer. They all met in the "Secret Area" where Ceres revealed her thoughts and her plan. They all agreed that it would be a really good idea, and, if it turned out they were wrong, at least then they could eliminate one person from the list of possibly suspects.
"You realize you're putting yourself in danger, right Selphie?" Ceres asked.
Selphie nodded enthusatically, "Yeah, I know, but, it's okay! You guys will help me if anything happens, right?"
The others nodded quickly. "Don't worry, ditz," Seifer replied, wrapping his arm around Selphie's shoulder, "We'll help you if you get lost."
Selphie smiled and playfully punched him in the shoulder.
"Let's go and get some sleep. The plan starts tomorrow, 'kay?" Ceres said, yawning.
The others agreed, and said their good-byes, making their way back to their dorms.
When Zell and Ceres reached Ceres' dorm, she turned to him and asked, "Will you please stay with me tonight?"
Zell smiled and nodded, "Sure".
That night, with Zell's arms wrapped protectively around her, Ceres fell into a happy sleep. She finally felt safe..
