**Look! Aren't you lucky. Another chapter so soon. The reason being is that I'm going on holiday for 2 weeks (such a long time!) and thought I better give you something to last you!! Please read and REVIEW so I have lots of things to read when I get back. I don't mind if they're bad reviews, just please review!! (Okay, so I'm babbling now!)**

Disclaimer : * Sigh * I STILL don't own anything! This is becoming upsetting.

"Well! If it isn't one of our wounded soldiers? Feeling better?" Quistis couldn't help the bitter tone that slipped into her question. She'd meant to be reasonable, she could see already that it wasn't going to work. She'd known as soon as she'd seen him. He'd hurt her earlier today. He should have let her help him!

"Get a life, Quistis." Seifer didn't even bother to hide the contempt in his voice. His head throbbed and he was in no mood to be nice to Quistis. He knew it had been over six months since it had happened but that wasn't the point. She'd still hurt him.

"It's you that doesn't have a life, Seifer." That's it, she couldn't try anymore. She couldn't try to be reasonable anymore. She hadn't done anything wrong. He was the one who'd hurt her. All she'd done was tell the truth. Why was he still being so horrible? Except..her consciousness nagged her.she hadn't told the whole truth.

"Why? Because I don't have yours? I'm fed up of trying to live up to your supernaturally high expectations of me." Maybe now was the time to tell Quistis the truth? Maybe, she'd stop being such a bitch if she knew.

"Why shouldn't I expect you to do well?"

"Because I can't that's why." He answered after a pause. Why did she treat him like he was supposed to be brilliant, then was disappointed when he didn't live up to her expectations? She never cut him a break.

"Why not! You could be my best student, Seifer! You have so much talent!" He was so stubborn! He didn't even look as if he was listening now!

"I can never be your best student! Not while I have this hanging over my head. I need.I need.." Ergh! He couldn't get it out. He needed to tell her he'd lied to her. He wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything until he did. He couldn't stand to have this hanging over him but if he told her she would hate him even more.

"What? You want what?" Her tone became gentler. Something was bothering him.

There was a long pause, was he going to tell her or not!?

"I need to.." Then noticing the impatient look on Quistis' face he changed what he was going to say. "Oh, forget it! You don't want to hear what I have to say. You just want to save your teacher's licence. I don't feel like being used at the moment!"

"How do you know about my teacher's license?" She asked quickly, how could he, of all people, know that!

It was too late though. Seifer had left and so was all chance of persuading him not to blow his field exam. See, she wasn't that bad of an instructor. She knew Seifer inside and out. Well, maybe not that well. Maybe not as well as she thought.

** Hmmmm. I'm not very happy with this chapter. It feels all wrong. All they seem to be doing is arguing with each other. But it is going somewhere, really!**
