Rinoa's Diary

12 April
6:07 AM

Holy Hyne! It's almost been a month since my last entry! I haven't written for so long because I lost this diary. But, I found it again under my bed! I bet Angelo hid it for an April Fools trick. Bad dog! Well, lot's have happened in this month's time. Now I am able to read people's minds and I can make people do what I want them to do with my sorcery. This took a long time to master, but I did it. Now some people in Garden are looking up to me. I'm very proud of that. But that's only a small portion of Garden that's looking up to me. I haven't been around Squall at all, even though he does continually knock, and so does Quistis and everyone else. Once Selphie said, "Rinoa... you don't seem to be with us anymore! You're always in your room..."
They still haven't figured that I've been training. That doesn't matter. My anger with Squall has died down. I am willing to accept him as a friend I guess. I will go to the cafeteria today, what a surprise it will be for them all! I miss the noisy the room and the famous hot dogs that Zell's in love with. Even though I don't see my old friends that much, maybe once in a week or so, and just a little glimpse, I still remember them perfectly well! Hmm, it's almost time for the group's usual breakfast time. I will go join them right now!

Wow were they surprised! Squall actually smiled, like that smile he had given me on the balcony of the night of the party for the defeat of Ultimecia. I smiled back at him. Selphie was overjoyed, she was her old self.
"Riiiinoooooa!!!!!!! Oh my gosh!!! It's been so long since you've had breakfast with us all!!!!!! Oh my gosh!!! I'm so happy!!!!!!!!" She had cried jumping up and down.
Quistis gave that sisterly smile, "I'm so glad you're not keeping yourself in that room of yours 24 hrs!"
I giggled at that, "I'm not in the room 24 hrs! I go out sometimes..." But I didn't state where.
Squall smiled again, "Rinoa... I'm glad you've come..." He kind of blushed as all his friend's eyes were on him.
Everyone exchanged their happiness that I have come to join them. It was a very good breakfast and Quistis started on the topic of a competition that was being held at Garden. I was very interested. Quistis said it was a magic tournament for the best users of magic. If I were the same person a month ago, I might have been to scared to join, but now I'm not. Squall also added in that himself and the others are in it to, since it's a competition between all the countries. I asked if I could join to, and they nodded very happily. This competition seemed very fun! Galabadia, Esther, and Trabia's represetives are all coming to Garden to compete. This is the first time they are having this competition to. Every country was to send fifteen representatives who would compete for their country. I'm so excited! It's in the next week and half! April 30th to be exact! I have a strong confidence in myself. This afternoon, we are all meeting in the training centre to train. Oh, there going to be so surprised at what I can do now! The training centre's monsters are now kind of easy to kill. But that doesn't matter. I'm happy to be with my friends again.

Today's training was wonderful! Squall was so impressed! I read his thoughts, and I'm very pleased by what he is thinking. He doesn't even know I can read his mind. It's so funny!
Wow, she's improved... Was his first though I listened to when I had simply casted a strong holy spell that killed all the enemies around us. All my other friends were very impressed.
"Have you been practicing Rinoa? I don't remember you using your sorceress powers so well!" Irvine had praised.
I had grinned. I noticed with the corner of my eyes that Squall was looking at me. I have been trying to work on another ability. Ability to see with my mind. I'm getting at it, but I still need lots of practice. I also noticed that I don't have the same feelings towards Squall anymore. I don't hate him anymore, I don't love him anymore either. He's like a friend now, just like Irvine and Zell. I'm not sure about him though... the way he look's at me to. Well, whatever! I'm going to practice this seeing with my mind thing right now. It may come in handy someday.

Oh Hyne! Today must have been the most wonderful day of my life! I'm tired, I have bruises, but I don't care! Today was the Magic Tournament! I was scared at first, but my sorceress powers did not fail me, nor did Angelo. At 12:00 lunchtime, the Galabadia, Esther, and Trabia contestants had all arrived. It was such a busy moment! There we so many people! The tournament took place outside in the green grass. The Balamb Team was against the Galabadia Team first, while Esther and Trabia were against each other at the same time. The winners would go against each other, and afterwards, and new group would fight. There were 45 fights in total. Fifteen times using all your different contestants again the other country's different contestants. Then we would switch countries and do that all over again. It was very tiring! Squall was against some guy name Shawn. Squall won of course. It was really hard just to just magic, but not hard for me! After Squall was my turn, against a girl named Liana. She was very good at using magic, but it wasn't good enough to beat me. I once again read Squall's thoughts.
She doesn't seem to be the Rinoa I use to know... she's so... brave?
I smiled at that while reflecting a spell Liana had casted. Zell lost a fight, but we won it back the next round. Trabia was the easiest to beat. Esther was kind of hard since they had such advanced tech that they also had some advanced magic spells, but that didn't hold us back. Galabadia has always been known to have great power, and at the final, we tied for first. It was a very exciting day, and I enjoyed it very very much! Hopefully something like this will occur again!


5 May

Oh I'm too lazy to write down the time today! Today was so frustrating! Squall knocked at my door, and I answered since we were friends after all. Except, he had come to me to talk about our relationship...
"Rinoa...." He had started, but I had already read all of what he was going to say.
"I'm hear to ask you about...our relationship," I said it for him exactly how he said it in his mind. Even the hesitating part! He was so shocked his eyes grew wide.
"How did you know?!"
I had giggled happily. "I forgot to tell you that I can read people's minds now!"
"Oh really...? Wow...."
I had read his mind once again. It's just fun! He had thought This really isn't the old Rinoa... she never really cared about her powers...
I reminded him that I could still be reading his mind right as he thinks. He chuckled.
"Back to the topic... I've noticed that you're not angry with me anymore..."
"That's true, I'm not"
Squall had looked me right in the eye. Somehow, I couldn't get into his mind then... as if something was blocking me. "Do...do you still love me?" He had blushed so red he looked like a tomato!
But I didn't know what to say. I didn't really have that type of feelings for him anymore... or did I?
"...I don't know... I'm not so sure anymore Squall..." I had said very uneasily.
He had frowned. "I hope that we could go back to being like before..."
"Like the old times?" I had said.
He had nodded. I think I agreed, cause he hugged me. I guess I should give him a change. But all these thoughts are so frustrating! But yes, I will start over with Squall, like how I started over myself.


Author's note: As you can see, throughout the weeks and months, Rinoa's personality is beginning to change. I am personally a Rinoa fan, and I'm just hoping this diary would make people who didn't really like Rinoa THAT much, like her even more ;) But other than that, it's for your own enjoyment! I will be writing more soon ^.^ I mean, Rinoa will be writing more ^^
