As It Begins Again

Chapter 6
"Oh geez," Rinoa rubbed her eyes. "Maybe we shouldn't have talked all night long." Taryn nodded drowsily.
"Get dressed and let's go to class. We have that exam today." Taryn got dressed into her original attire, a black skirt and a red sleeveless shirt. Rinoa got dressed in her black skirt and shirt with a blue over-shirt. "Come on..."
Selphie lifted her head off her pillow slowly. "Bye, bye." Taryn and Rinoa waved goodbye at a sleepy Selphie. They hurried and ran quickly down the hallways and into the elevator. Rinoa pressed 2 as the elevator slowly closed its doors.
"Hey what's in the basement?" asked Taryn as she examined the elevator keys.
Rinoa shook her head. "You don't want to know." The elevator stopped. "Come on let's go." Rinoa and Taryn ran down the pathway and into the classroom. The classroom was packed with those who had hopes in becoming a Seed. Taryn and Rinoa walked toward the back of the class and grabbed seats across the aisle from each other. The instructor turned around.
"Well, today is the exam on your knowledge of weaponry, skill, and magic," the instructor said.
"Oh my god!" Rinoa exclaimed. "It's Quistis...I thought she wasn't a teacher anymore." Taryn shrugged at Rinoa from across the way. Quistis began to hand out all the tests. A sound caught the attention of the class. Seifer made his way into the classroom with Xu trampling behind him.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Seifer," Xu said in frustration. "You'll never be a Seed."
"Why don't you leave me alone!" Seifer exclaimed. "Edea gave me permission to take the test. If you have a problem with it I suggest you take it up with her!" Xu huffed in disgust and defeat. She slowly left the classroom. All eyes were on Seifer.
"Well Seifer," Quistis said. "Take a seat and let's begin the testing." Seifer made his way to the back of the room. There were no empty seats except the one next to Taryn. Seifer smirked. They glared at each other as he sat down.
"That was a nice little trick you pulled on he yesterday," he said under his breath.
"What trick? For all I'm concern you fell in yourself," Taryn retorted. Seifer's face turned grim.
"Don't you dare hurt her!" Rinoa exclaimed under her breath to Seifer.
"What are you going to do about it? Sick your boyfriend at me. Sorry to disappoint you but I can take Squall on any day of the week." Rinoa just glared at him.
"You know one time you meant something to me, Seifer," Rinoa said harshly under her breath. Taryn's eyes widened. "When you were hurt by Edea, it tore me up inside. And then Squall..."
"And then Squall...what?" Seifer replied harshly. "I leave you alone with Squall for one minute and the next thing I see is you hanging all over him at the ball."
"Geez, Seifer. You make me sound so awful. You just think of what you did last year. And then tell me who was the one that was worse."
"Who do you think led me into what I did last year?" Seifer questioned Rinoa harshly. Rinoa sat there stunned completely. Quistis walked up to them.
"That's enough!" Quistis exclaimed under her breath. "There's a test conducting here. I suggest you hurry up and start yours." All three of the students turned their attention quickly to the test. Rinoa gave Seifer a weary glance from the corner of her eye. Minutes passed and soon the test was over. Each student got up and left the classroom quietly. Taryn and Rinoa got up and walked to the instructor's desk and placed their test on it.
"How did you think you did?" asked Quistis.
"Ok, I guess," replied Taryn. "That was kind of hard though."
"Well you know what they say," Quistis said. "If you do bad on the written you'll do great on the physical part of the test."
"Or vice-versa," Rinoa added.
Quistis nodded. "Exactly."
"When did you become an instructor again?" asked Rinoa in suspicion. "Was it because of Irvine's new job as and instructor."
"Of course not," Quistis said in a hurry. "It's just that since all the racket is gone from last year. I found out that I have so much time on my hands now. I just decided to take on a job again."
"Hey why don't you get married and have kids," Taryn piped in. "That would certainly keep you busy."
"Yeah with who? Irvine?" Quistis said sarcastically. "I think not. Well I'll see you girls later, I want to grab a bite to eat before my next class." Rinoa and Taryn waved goodbye to Quistis as she left the room.
"Did you mention Irvine?" asked Rinoa.
"No," Taryn replied. "I think she mentioned that herself."
"Hmm, this should be fun," Rinoa said mischievously. "Let's go find Irvine." With that Rinoa grabbed Taryn's hand and they ran down the hallway.
