As It Begins Again

Chapter 2
Rinoa and Squall sat down at a table. The cafeteria was crowded at this time of the day. Rinoa smiled sweetly to the boy across the small table.
"Squall, you know that was really nice of you," Rinoa placed her hand on top of his. "Saving Taryn that is." Squall looked away from her.
"Whatever."
"Well I don't care what you think, Squall," Rinoa looked around the cafeteria. "Could you go get me something to eat?"
"Sure." Squall got up and walked toward the line.
Quistis walked and sat down next Rinoa. "Squall has matured a lot since the Sorceress incident. I'm proud of him. I haven't seen him show so much emotion in a long time." Rinoa nodded.
"Especially, today," said Rinoa. "He's helping people even without having too. And Taryn was a complete stranger to him."
"Who would have ever thought?" Quistis said sarcastically. Rinoa laughed.
"Well not me," replied Rinoa. The loudspeaker turned on.
"Would Seed member Quistis Trepe please report to the Headmaster's office." Rinoa looked at Quistis.
"I guess I have to go." Quistis stood up and exited the cafeteria after shoving some people out of her way. Squall made his way back to the table holding two hot dogs in his hands.
"Do you know what Quistis was paged for?" asked Squall as he sat down across from Rinoa. Rinoa shrugged. The intercom turned on again.
"Would Seed member Irvine Kinneas please report to the Headmaster's office."
"I hope they're not in trouble," said Rinoa as she started to eat.
"I bet its nothing." Squall looked across the room. There was a crowd around a certain table in the corner. "I wonder what's happening there?"
At the corner table, Zell was busily shoving hot dogs down his throat. Everyone around him was cheering, including Selphie and Taryn. Maybe it won't be so bad staying here after all...thought Taryn as she passed Zell another hot dog. Rinoa and Squall walked up to them. Rinoa scrunched her nose in disgust.
"Eww, Zell." Zell looked up at her and grinned.
"Nothing beats free food!" Zell said triumphantly.
"You eat like a pig," retorted Rinoa teasingly. Zell glared at her.
"Don't call me that," Zell teased back.
"Then how about chickenwuss?" said a voice coming from beyond the crowd. Zell stood up abruptly and wiped off his mouth. Everyone's head turned to see who said that. Seifer stood there with a smirk on his face. Taryn stood up as Selphie threw herself in front of Taryn.
"You're not taking Taryn!" Selphie exclaimed. Seifer's eyes darkened as it fell on Taryn. They glared at each other for a second before Seifer lifted his eyes to Selphie.
"Of course not," Seifer said sarcastically. "I wouldn't even dream about it." Irvine walked up and placed his hand on Seifer's shoulder.
"I heard what happened to you, Seifer," Irvine said, sympathetically. "All I have to say is, man, that has got to hurt." Shocked Seifer looked up Irvine and then to Taryn. Taryn glared at him. Seifer's eyes darkened considerably as he gripped tightly on the handle of his gunblade. Turning swiftly Seifer charged out of the cafeteria. Squall relaxed.
"As long as I known Seifer," Squall said to Taryn. "He is really dangerous when he's mad. I should know. The scar on my face is only from sparing with him."
"Well that doesn't really count," said Selphie. "You got him back in the same spot."
"Yes it counts," said Rinoa to Selphie. "Squall may have gotten Seifer back but Squall was sent to the infirmary while Seifer just went straight to class."
"Oh."
"Yes," Squall said intently. "And now it looks like he's out for blood."
