A/N: 5 reviews!!!!! I'm not really expecting it for every chapter just the first two or three, just so I know ppl are reading. Neways here it is…. Chapter two….
See ya around……maybe
Waking up is weird. It's like a long blink, you fall asleep (Close your
eyes)
then wake up (Open your eyes). A long, long blink. Anyways, I
opened my eyes and
looked around. A lot of white......the dorms weren't this white. I
Quickly sat
up to look around some more but couldn't concentrate on anything.
Some one had
stabbed me in the stomach....not really but it felt that way
"Ahhhhh!" it just came out as I fell back onto to bed. I hadn't
wanted to
scream. I just looked around some from the bed. Probably the
infirmary? Oh yeah
the fight....... when I get my hands on that lil' fucker I'm
gonna..........
"Alex is everything ok?" some woman in white asked, running in,
probably the
doctor. Followed by...
"What happened?" and....
"Is everything ok?" all three of them looked at me with pitying eyes,
Squall the
biker man, the doctor, and Irvine. Actually Squall looked as if he
couldn't care
less, so I ignored him.
"Why am I here? I don't want to be here, I want to take my SeeD
test." I hate it
when people look directly at me, or just at me. I just hated being
looked at period.
"You were injured last night in a fight with Seifer. Do you
remember?" the
doctor seemed to like hearing her self speak so I didn't cut her off.
"Yeah," instead I replied back with snappy answers. "I want to
leave" I sat up
and the pain returned, but since I didn't lie back down the pain was
now more
like someone twisting the knife while it was in my stomach. I
closed my eyes
tight and felt the tears welling up. Instead of crying I brushed them
away and
re-punctured my lip where I had last night. Ah blood, a familiar
taste from
previous times of biting my lip. I do that often.
"No, no, don't do that." Wow, someone cared what I did for once.
My mom's just
like 'your body, your choice' But being me I just ignored him too
and stood up. I covered my
face with my
hands and realized that pain came when I touched around my eye.
Oh yeah, that ass
wipe punched me in the eye too.
"I need to get changed an...and ready for class" I was stuttering.
Why? Oh well,
I'll just stumble around in this disoriented state that I'm in until I find
my
dorm.
I leaned on the wall for support and slowly started out of the room.
She said a some stuff that I couldn't understand ''cause I was still
trying to
make out the blurred objects in front of me.
"Irvine, I can tell that she's not going to stay here all day so will you
watch
her today?" now that I heard.
"Yeah sure," was he really going to spend all day with me? Cool!
Wait why am I
getting excited over this? It's just a guy I fell on yesterday.
"I'm going now," I left the room. I got halfway there when my legs
gave way and
I fell. The whole time they were shaking but.....yeah. I had left
before Irvine
and he went the other way around. And I think he turned the
corner just as I
fell. He jogged over to me and helped me the rest of the way to my
dorm. I'm
guessing that he knew that 'cause he didn't make a big fuss about
it, or say
much, 'till we got to my room.
~*~
The person who I shared a room wasn't there thank god. And I
decided not to go
to classes so we just sat on my bed and talked.
"So, how did the whole Seifer fight thing start?" He thought I
started it, I
could tell by his eyes. I can tell a lot of things by looking at peoples
eyes. I
took a deep breath
"I was hungry and took four hot dogs and he came up to me sayin'
isn't that a
bit much pig, or somethin'' like that and I'm like 'what's it to you'
he's like
'you can't eat all of them' and I'm like 'watch me' and he started to
take one
but I kicked him in the shins and he says 'bitch' as I pass him and
pulls my
hair back to him and knocked the tray outta my hands! And I'm like
'asshole' and
punched him in the stomach and tried to leave again and he
tripped me and I
tried to punch him again but some guy held me back and Seifer
punched me but I
didn't flinch so he did it again in my eyes and same, I didn't flinch
so he
kicked me really hard in the stomach and I curled up cause I
couldn't breath and
he elbowed me in the back. Then he kicked me some more while I
was down and then
you and Squall I think it was, came. "
Did I just say all that? Oh my god, I never say that much to anyone
accept my
parrot! Oh jeez now he's gonna think I'm a freak, but why do I
care? I want to
talk to Zoro!
"Interesting.........so what classes are you taking?" why did he just
shrug it
off?
"Um, I haven't decided yet. But I uh.......hear that there's a
Gunblade class
here that I'm so taking." Gunblade are so cool and I can do some
fancy moves with
them.
"Really? Well then you'll be in Squall's class, he's the Gunblade
specialist in
the school so he teaches it." Hotshot leather pants guy is a
gunblade
specialist?!
"Cool, what do you teach?" Probably rodeo, haha.
"I just became a SeeD a month or two ago. I don't teach anything."
"Cool"
We talked for an hour or so about me, him the garden, Zoro, and
then my
internal clock (A.K.A. my stomach) told me that it was lunch time.
But what happened to Seifer? Is he gonna be in the cafeteria?
"What's up?" I guess Irvine saw the 'I don't want to go in there' look on my
face as we approached the cafeteria.
"Um nothing" I got rid of that look fast
"I'm just gonna grab somethin and eat outside, not as much noise"
Don't be there
Seifer please, please, please, please, please.
~*~
Hotdogs? Again? Eh.
"Two please" I got my drink and hotdogs, and we started out and
the whole time
every pair of eyes was looking at me.
"Hahaha! Yeah I know!" Seifer was there. I could hear him close
but we were
leaving so it didn't bother me.
I saw him getting soup, but then I looked away
What I didn't see him was him heading in my direction, not looking
where he was
going until he walked into me and knocked the tray outta my hands
again
"Watch where you're going!" I yelled, and all the talking stopped.
The room was silent.
I knew he didn't mean to when I looked up angrily into his eyes, but
I also knew
he wasn't sorry for it either.
Irvine looked ready to step in if I needed it, he and I both knew that
I was in
no condition to fight.
"Don't think so," he laughed and looked over at a table where the
guy who held me
and some girl with grey hair were sitting.
I didn't even think, it was instinct what I did next. With my good foot I
slammed it down on his and tipped his tray of soup onto his trench
coat which
absorbed the green pea soup quite quickly.
"Ahhh!" it was hot so I can understand him yelling. I was happy
and would have stared at him longer but Irvine dragged me out. He
didn't say anything 'till we were outside.
"Ok," he said taking a deep breath, this should be interesting. "I
don't wanna sound like a wuss cause I'm not, I'm a sharp shooter,
but if you don't want your life to be a living hell wile your hear then I
suggest not to mess with Seifer."
I stared blankly at him, hot as he was, he was wrong. As my father
always said: Never make the first move but if you ever are in a
fight then hit the person twice as hard as they hit you, and never
stop fighting till you can't stand up. You might not always win but
they'll know that you will fight back.
Then he went off and became a Galbadian soldier and I've never
heard from him since.
"If he wants to fight me then bring it on. I'm no wuss either." I was
mad at him he was telling me not to be me! I am a rebel, I never
surrender, I don't go around looking for fights but I'll never pass up
a chance to be in one either.
"I just don't want to see you in the infirmary again in the state you
were in
last night." I can't believe this! Why does he care!? Nobody cares
about me so why al of a sudden does he!? He's doing what my
father did. Says he'll always be here, that I can count on him, trust
him. Then when I need him the most he's gone. I'm not ever going
though that again, I'd rather have no friends then to go through
that.
"Why are you doing this?! Why are you pretending to care?!" I
could feel tears on my face. I quickly wiped them away taking half
my face with them I pressed so hard. Why do I get emotional when
I'm around him? I started hitting my forehead really hard and
bighting my lip. I didn't want to talk or think about that thing that
just left me with a witch for a step mom.
"Don't do that" he took one of his gloved hands and held my wrist.
just like that guy did when Seifer pounded on me, he was gonna l
et some one hurt me again!
"Tell me, what happened?" his voice was soft and comforting, but
he didn't know me and would hurt me like everyone else did.
I could taste blood again.
"It helps if you tell people before you do anything that you'll regret"
he lifted my chin with his finger so he could look into my eyes. My
hand was still in his. Trapped so I couldn't defend myself.
"Nothing, it's nothing, I have to go........." I started to walk away, my
limp almost gone but he held onto my wrist. Here it comes he's
gonna hit me, he's gonna do it, he's gonna do it. I closed my eyes
tightly
"If you ever need to let anything out......I'm always here." He let go.
started at him for a sec or two then left to my dorm.
~*~
I stayed there the rest of the day and doodled. I thought of
suicide
and lightly dragged the switch blade across my wrists but decided
to see what day 3 would bring. At least I'd wake up in my bed,
sorta.
Today I was going to the training centre. I took out my new
Gunblade my nanny sent me on rush delivery when she heard I
was going to Balamb. But she made me promise not to open it till I
was ready to use it, and I keep my promises. So I got the long box
out from under my bed, took off the lid and removed the paper
covering it. It lay there, shining, never been used and really sharp!
I like sharp things hehehe.
I picked it up and looked it over very carefully. There was an
engraving of a Dragon breathing fire on one side of it and like a
mirror on the other side. Now I was complete.
I looked closer at it and read the words that outlined the fire:
Alzera, keep this close, you never know when you need a
reminder of your true family
Love
Nanny.
Also in the box was the belt that I'd wear everyday to keep my
gunblade close.
I changed into girl clothes. When I was happy I wore girl clothes,
when I wasn't I wore guy clothes. But yes, I was in a happy mood. I
put on a tight purple tank top with really thin straps, and light green
clam-diggers. My red hair was tied up in a ponytail and my feet
were blessed with white boot-shoe things. The black belt that held
my gunblade looked some what out of place but who the hell
cared?
I have a gunblade!
I half jogged half ran to the training centre. I was gonna kill
something! I stopped running/jogging when I got to then entrance. I
slowly walked in looking everywhere for anything that moved. I
was ordered not to fight t-rexsaurs until I was a SeeD so I only
fought those little walking plant things.
Yeah, so I was walking along talking to myself, I do that a lot.
"But um......what happens if I do come across a t-rexsaurs? It's
very fast and I can't outrun it. Um.........?" Brilliant Alex this is
gonna look good on your file 'almost dies fighting a t-rexsaurs.'
"Shit" I am an idiot, then I heard something and drew my gunblade.
Your gonna die, your gonna die, your gonna die, what an optimist
you are. I heard it coming from behind. I didn't know what it was
but I could block it. Within seconds I swung my gunblade over my
head and blocked the attack on my back. I heard a clang so I
assumed it was another gunblade person. I kept the gunblade
linked with whatever had attacked as I turned around.
"Can't you just leave me alone! What the hell's your problem!"
Seifer stared at me with fire in his piercing eyes.
"You soooo stained my coat with pea soup" he smirked an evil
smirk I knew only too well. He took a swing at my face but I
blocked it.
"And your point is? Oh and you should try not to let your opponent
know your next move, it just makes it easer to block," I smiled at
him sarcastically making fun of him, and he knew it.
"You think your good eh?" he asked as if talking to a beginner
which I so was not.
"Yup" I twirled the gunblade around my fingers like people do with
hand guns and smirked at him. It was heavy I'll admit, but with a lot
of practice your fingers get stronger and hold the weight. Making
fun of him was fun, and I didn't have to say a thing!
"I'm board of this little game, now if you'd excuse me I'm going to
finish training."
As I started to leave, a monster that stood like 15 feet turned the
Corner
"Shit!" as I turned to run in Seifer's direction another one came
from that direction.
"Shit, shit! Were surrounded!" I was panicking, not only am I not
suppose to fight t-rexsaurs, but two of them?! And I didn't have any
magic on me accept a few cures.
"Naw really"
"Shut up Seifer, do you have any Magic? I only have like 3 cures
with me."
"I have nothing, I followed you in here to beat you up again." He
was as freaked as I was, I don't even think that he's a SeeD yet
but he's probably been hear a while.
"Um, um, um ha! We both charge the smaller one, you duck under
it's legs and I'll stab it a few times, then I'll go under and we get the
hell outta hear ok?"
Hehehe my brilliant plan will probably get me killed but it was a
plan wasn't it?
Seifer nodded
"ok one.....two....three!" I ran straight for it ready to kill, Seifer was
ahead of me. All of a sudden he stopped and shoved me while I
was running.
I hit hard but I knew his plan, the rexes go for the fallen prey and
the other
one gets away safe.
Shit.
"Fuck you Seifer!" he laughed at me as he ran and said:
"See ya around......maybe"
Ok, so here I was trying to fight two t-rexsaurs by myself with a
gunblade and no magic. The bigger one lunged at me, jaws wide
open, but I dodged just in time to be right in the path of the little
one doing the same thing, but I rolled out of the way of that one.
That went on for like ten more minutes and I dodged all of them
barely.
"Fuck you! Leave me alone!" I yelled, dodging another attack. I got
hit that time, it's razor sharp tooth caught my shoulder in a role.
Man, I was sooooo tired!
My legs felt like Jell-O as well as my arms, so much in my arms
that I had to drop my gunblade. Around there is when I caught my
foot on a root while doing a role and landed face first into the dirt
path. Ok this is it, bye, bye Alex.
"Blind!" someone yelled "Blind!" I'm guessing that he blinded the
rexes.
"You ok?" he asked as I was getting up
"Yeah but my gunblade, I hafta get it!" I ran to the fallen gunblade
and put it away.
"Ok lets go!" I followed the blond around the dirt paths until we got
back to the entrance.
"Fuck! I hate Seifer!" I punched the concrete wall with my bare
hands. It hurt like hell but it took my mind off my slashed shoulder.
"Ouch, what did he do?" he was panting a lot
"I'm going in to train right? He followed me in to beat me up and
then those two show up, I come up with a plan to escape, and it
could have worked but Seifer tripped me. That distracted them and
he got away scott free.....Fuck!" I did it again. With my other hand.
"He's been here like all his life and still hasn't become a SeeD,
hehe" he seemed to be trying to cheer me up.......and it worked, I
smiled at him.
"By the way, I'm Zell"
