The Order to Assassinate Irvine Kinneas

Chapter 4

Irene dropped Seifers gunblade on the ground next to him and turned around and started to leave. "Hey," Seifer called after her, only to get ignored. She left the Training Center stopping only to pick up her Excter. Seifer grabbed his Hyperon and stood up mumbling, "Damn, she's good." He started off towards the 'Secret place' in the back of the Training Center for some peace and quiet and to think of what just happened.

Irene walked towards the elevator. 'It's quieter with everyone in class,' Irene thought. 'I like it..... Except for the little fact that I'm going in the classroom. Oh well.' She entered the elevator and pushed the button for the second floor. "I wonder what the instructor will say to their late student." Irene smirked as she opened the door to the classroom.

The students looked up and a couple of them whispered to each other. The instructor turned around. "So, Irene, you decided to come to class," said the instructor. "Why where you late?"

"I was in the Training Center fighting Seifer Almasy. "Irene crossed her arms. "Its fun winning against someone you think is superior in fighting skills. My I sit down now, instructor?"

"Yes, over next to Branda." Irene nodded and walked over to her seat with her hands behind her back. "Alright class, now back to what I was saying about the usage of magic that you draw." She walked around behind her desk to the black-board. "Remember you would have to know this for the up coming test."

Irene glanced at Branda who quickly looked away and turned back to paying attention to the instructor. Irene quietly groaned. 'I know this already.' She put her chin in her hands and looked straight ahead. 'I'll pretend to pay attention, even though I don't care getting in trouble.'

Irene closed her eyes and let her thoughts drift. 'No,' she thought angrily. 'Don't think about him.' 'But he's...... so kind. He was nice to me when we talked.' She mentally argued. 'I have to kill him, remember?' 'Why?' 'What?' 'Why?' 'Why..... forget it! I'm not arguing with you!'

"Remember, study for the test tomorrow," the instructor said as the students started to stand.

"Are you alright?" Irene looked up.

"Yeah, I'm fine..... Branda."

"Branda!" a girl called as she ran over to them. "Hi, Irene."

"......."

"Oh, right, Irene this is Ebony. Ebony, Irene." Branda introduced us.

"Branda, do you want to come down to my dorm so we could study for tomorrows test?" Ebony asked.

"Sure." Branda said, but then turned to Irene. "You want to come to Irene?"

"No," Irene said simply. She added, "I think I'll study on my own."

"Kay, see you later," Branda called after her as she walked out of the classroom.

Squall sighed. He stared out of the Ragnarok with very little interest in what Selphie was saying. 'Why did I let myself get talked into coming?' he questioned himself. He spotted Rinoa sitting down in the seat behead Selphie. 'Oh, right.'

"There it is!" Selphie cried. "There's Trabia!" She pointed out the window.

Squall sighed. "Yes, I see it." He piloted the Ragnarok towards Trabia, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He quickly glanced up. 'Rinoa.'

"It won't be that bad," she whispered to him.

Squall sighed. "Alright I'll go on your word." he responded.

Irene entered the dorm hallways to her room when she bumped into Irvine. "Sorry," he told her grinning.

Irene shrugged. "Where are you going any way?"

"The Training Center," he said. "You want to join me?"

"No, not really. I mean, I have a test to study for."

Irvine shrugged. "Well, if it gets too frustrating come join me, alright?"

"Sure, whatever." Irvine laughed slightly. "What?" Irene asked, a little annoyed.

"Nothing, nothing at all. It's just that Squall says that, like, every other word." He laughed. Irene rolled her eyes.

"Weren't you going to the Training Center?"

"Yeah, and weren't you going to study?"

"Yes. Bye," Irene said and walked into her room which was near by. She smirked and grabbed her Exceter, which was now fully filled, and left her room after waiting a minute.
