Irvine sat with his legs resting on the small long table, watching Selphie fix the decorations for the Spring Garden Festival. He pulled down the brim of his hat, covering his eyes. He had such a deep, dark complexion. But it wasn't something one would see through so easily. Zell and Quistis slowly made their way to Irvine and Selphie. Zell pulled up a chair, sitting down beside Irvine.
"Yo, what the hell you watchin' her for? That shit look hella boring," he uttered. Ever since the past couple of months, it was quite unusual to find Zell Dincht and Selphie Tilmitt ever getting along. Fatal attraction, most said it was.
Selphie quickly walked over to him, "What did you say?" Zell made an annoyed look on his face.
"B-O-R-I-N-G, boring!" Selphie then began to pull up what seemed to be imaginary sleeves, and moved closer to him. Irvine quickly grabbed Selphie by the arm.
"Come on, now, Selphe," he began, giving her a comforting smile. Selphie pouted, but then finally calmed down as she went back to what she was doing. Quistis stood beside Irvine, shaking her head, with a warm smile. She then slowly glanced over to Irvine, who had turned into the other direction, and seeming deep in thought.
"NO! You are such a cheater, IRVINE!" Selphie peeped out, elbowing Irvine in the chest, harder than she had meant to.
"Selphie, how could you say I cheated, when you were just looking at Zell's cards a second ago?" he questioned, with an innocent, boyish expression.
"What?!?!?!? Selphie! I shouldn't trust a bitchy girl like you!" Zell shouted out loudly.
"Zell, don't listen to Irvine, he's lying," Quistis chimed in.
Zell looked up at Quistis, who was lying down on her stomach on the bed, "How could I believe that? Selphie's got Cheater written all over her face."
"Ah! Where??? Give me a mirror....," Selphie said, sarcastically, flashing Zell a mean look. Irvine took another drink out of his wine that rested on the round table beside him. Quistis sighed, as she let her head fall back against Zell's shoulder, as she laid on her back. Quistis sat up, then reached over to the table beside the bed, grabbing a magazine.
"Girl Next Door?" she imposed, holding it up to Irvine. He got off of the floor, then quickly moved up to the bed.
"Yeah, Girl Next Door," he replied to her question. Quistis gave him a look of uncertainty, but smiled afterwards. Irvine reached over Quistis, for his glass of wine. After taking a quick drink, he handed it to Quistis. Then moved back to the floor, to continue his game.
"Look at him, acting so casual, when you know he's actually burning up in there," Rinoa uttered, staring at Irvine, who was being approached by a tall brunette. Quistis smiled, stirring her cup of coffee.
"He's actually not that bad looking," Rinoa began, "He's actually kinda cute." Selphie and Quistis immediately exchanged glances, then turned back to Rinoa, who had her hands under her chin.
"So what? Are you planning to leave Squall, now?" Quistis questioned, with a taunting smile. Rinoa turned to her, with a grin.
"Hey, I'm just saying how I feel," she replied, turning back to the center of the table, "But, you have to admit, Irvine is cute." Quistis took in a deep breath, then slowly, nervously glanced away.
Selphie smiled, "Of course, Irvy is absolutely charming!.....don't you think, Quistis?"
"Yeah, anything you say," she replied, returning to her cup of coffee, without eye-contact. Rinoa and Selphie looked at eachother, oddly. But resumed to their lunch. When Zell came running in their direction, he quickly pulled up a chair in between Quistis and Selphie.
"Are they gone?" he questioned, nearly a whisper, as he breathed heavily. The three young women glanced at the door.
"Who's gone?" Rinoa questioned, out of curiosity.
"A tall blonde, and a bru--oh, fuck, you'll realize who I'm talkin' about!" he replied, his head under his arms. Quistis then began to laugh.
"They're not even here, Zell," Selphie uttered, with an annoyed look. Zell's head, then arose slightly, as he glanced around the room.
"All right, thanks," he replied, as he stood up, then quickly paced outside the Quad. Irvine slowly made his way to the table, as he sat down beside Quistis. She suddenly felt that Rinoa and Selphie, sat staring at her, as if mocking her.
"What you lovely ladies talking about?" he questioned, turning one last look at the girl that he had just talked to. Rinoa smiled, and began to shift in her seat.
"Umm, listen, I need to run, Squall's probably looking for me," she began, as she stood up, then began pulling on Selphie's arm.
"Oh, don't worry about me, I could stay, no rush there," Selphie uttered, with a smile.
"Selphie!" Rinoa scolded. She immediately stood up, pouting at Rinoa, as the exited the room.
"Aren't you gonna go with them?" Irvine questioned, looking over to Quistis.
She smiled, her arms crossed over her lap, "I don't even know where they're going."
"So what you up to today?" he asked, looking around the nearly packed Quad. Quistis hesitated, but finally answered.
"Probably nothing, as usual," she replied. Irvine then turned back to the young blue-eyed woman.
"Yeah, same here," he replied, simply. Quistis turned away, her arms crossed in front of her chest. A part of her felt like she should just get up and leave, while the other half was tempted to stay.
"Yo, what the hell you watchin' her for? That shit look hella boring," he uttered. Ever since the past couple of months, it was quite unusual to find Zell Dincht and Selphie Tilmitt ever getting along. Fatal attraction, most said it was.
