The supper bell rang at about 6:30 pm. Selphie had caught up with me as I was walking down the hall to the cafeteria.
"Hey Squall." She said sweetly.
I nodded to acknowledge her presents, in hello.
"Did you give Seifer his book?"
"Yes, I did." I answered.
"Well? Did he talk to you about what he wanted to talk to you about?"
I sigh. "No, he didn't." I didn't mind Selphie, actually I considered her a friend, but sometimes she's just too concerned about other people.
"Squall, I'm worried about him." She said, her voice full of care.
See? What did I tell you. "Selphie, he'll be fine, trust me."
I heard her groan in worry as we entered the cafeteria. She spotted Seifer sitting alone in the corner the minute we entered the room. He was drinking a coke and eating his sandwich.
"Let's go sit with Seifer!" Before I could get a protest, she grabbed my wrist and dragged me over to sit next to my rival. Of course she would sit across from him and I would be stuck sitting next to him.
Seifer glanced up at Selphie and threw down his sandwich. "I suddenly lost my appetite."
I chuckled when Selphie began to pout.
"That was a nice hello!" She yelled.
"Well, how was I suppose to say hello to you?"
"'Hello' plain and simple would have been fine for us!"
Seifer looked over at me and grinned. "Hello."
Selphie rolled her eyes. "I meant at me too! Gah! I'm gonna go get my food. Squall, whatcha want?"
Again, before a could speak she was already up. "Wait, nevermind. I already know."
Now Seifer and I were alone. //What do I say now? Maybe he will start the conversation.// I looked over at the blond man and sighed. //Hell no. He'll just start a fight with some damn insult.//
"Squall?"
"Yeah?"
He cleared his throat. "Have you checked the assignment board yet?"
I shook my head. //What is he getting at?//
"We're assigned together." He drank the rest of the coke and then threw it at Zell's head. I heard an "OWWW!" and then some swearing behind me. I rolled my eyes. Childish those two are. Always will be.
"What do you mean? What assignment?" I questioned.
"It says we are to go to Esther to help out with some type of monster invasion or some shit." He tossed me the envelope. "I thought you would have checked."
I narrowed my eyes at him and then proceeded to open the envelope. Selphie came over holding a tray filled with plates. She handed me a ham and cheese sandwich and a bottle of water. She tosses Seifer another coke. Amazing what she knew about us.
"What's that?" She asked through a mouth full of jelly donut.
"It's a SeeD assignment." I said.
"Oh." And she asked nothing more about it.
The papers in the envelope said we were to leave in two days at 9:00 am in Balamb. //Woohoo, this will be fucking fun.// I so didn't want to go to Esthar. I didn't mind the job, but I did not want to see my father at the moment. I would have been totally thrilled to walk through an ice lake naked, rather then see my own dad.
"Alright you two, I'll catch ya later." Seifer said and stood up. "Oh, and thanks for the book Selphie." He walked off, getting talked about and stared at as he went.
Inside I was angry with those people that pointed and talked about him. They should just leave him alone....
"I'll see ya Selphie. I'm going on to the training hall."
"Ok Squall, bye-bye!"
I got up and left for the training hall, not even eating my sandwich.
