"Tell me how you can believe everything you hear, she ain't tellin' you.
So please, don't believe anything she says to you..."
Quistis' eyes widened, as she stared in confusion at the short brunette who stood in front of her, the expression the same. She hesitated, as she slowly tried to figure out the words to comply.
"What?" Quistis managed to choke out, her blue orbs piercing at the young woman.
The frightened look on Selphie's round face slowly faded, as a smile crept upon her thin lips, "Gotcha!" There was a long pause, as Quistis' mouth gawked open in utter surprise, lost in thought all at once.
"Selphie," Quistis began, reluctantly, "That was not something to joke about." There was a soft giggle as Selphie quickly tugged at Quistis' arm pulling her out of the room.
"Awww, don't be such a poor sport, Quisty," she retorted, as she slowly leaned behind her friend and shutted the door. "Rinoa wants to see you in her room."
Quistis slowly crossed her arms over her chest, as she began to feel stranger than usual to see Rinoa all dressed up in that thing she called a wedding dress. Sure, it was pretty, if you were stuck in old ages. The sudden thought caused the young blonde to laugh, softly to herself. Selphie's eyes quickly turned to her friend, as so did Rinoa's. Quistis quickly flashed the two a nervous smile, as she gently placed her hands on the thin mattress.
"What?" Quistis uttered, slowly resuming posture. Selphie's eyes widened, as a hint of a smile appeared. Rinoa paused, then letting out a depressing sigh, as she studied her reflection in the tall, lanky mirror.
"What do you guys think?" she questioned, lifting the sides of the gown as she gently swayed from one side to the other. There was a short pause, as Selphie suddenly stood up from her chair, her arms behind her back, as she paced around her bride of a friend.
"Well,..., its....," the young woman began, hesitating. Her eyes quickly turned to Quistis, who paused at the tension, "Quistis, what do you think?"
"I---," she uttered, as she felt a funny feeling sweep over her, "I think, Rinoa...has her own taste.." The room soon grew silent, as all eyes reluctantly fell on the blonde woman.
Rinoa sighed, as she took one last look at the gown, "Listen, the least you could do is be honest with me. Now, I know you two hate it."
"Oh, its not like that," Selphie muttered, kicking a foot slightly into the air.
"It's ugly," Rinoa finished.
Selphie smiled, as her eyes slowly fell back onto her friend, "If you put it that way."
"I've got another day or so...," the brown eyed girl said, as she slowly took a seat beside Quistis, who gently placed a comforting arm around her. "It's just hard...."
"No pressure here," Quistis smiled, as she gently leaned her head against Rinoa's. Selphie paused, as her hands laid on her hips, her eyes fazing the two, solemnly.
"Are you sure?" the petite woman asked.
"Sure about what?" Rinoa questioned, a bit concerned, as to what her friend had been implying.
"You know..., the wedding thing," Selphie finished, her eyes focused.
"Of course she's sure," Quistis said, as she turned to Rinoa, a smile upon her lips. "Right?" Selphie shrugged, as she plopped down beside Quistis.
"Yeah...," Rinoa uttered, softly.
Quistis slowly turned her head aside, as she then noticed Irvine sitting at a table by himself. He hadn't at all seemed to notice or give any care as to how she was in the very same room with him. Earlier, he had just walked by without a least bit of a hello. It made her wonder, even if she did claim to want it that way.
She slowly turned her eyes away, as she noticed Zell, sitting himself down. "Yo," the blonde man greeted, as he suddenly stuffed a hot dog into his mouth.
"Hey, Zell," Quistis uttered, with a smile, as she resumed her cup of tea.
"No kids today?" he questioned, causing her to be confused. He slowly took down a chunk of hot dog stuck in his throat, as he continued to make things clearer, "Classes."
"Oh," Quistis smiled, "No, not today." There was a long pause, as she watched the young man continue on with his hot dogs, as though she werent there. "What's wrong?" Quistis questioned, causing his eyes to gaze into her own.
"Nothin'," Zell replied, just what she had expected. It made her ponder, why he hadn't at all been himself that whole time. She honestly haven't seen too much of him to count.
"I know!" Selphie exclaimed, as she suddenly approached behind Zell, with a wide grin. "Zelly and the library girl aren't seeing each other anymore!"
Quistis turned to him. Zell's eyes quickly glared at her, as he then slammed his hot dog onto the table, "What the hell you talkin' about?!? I wasn't seein' her!"
A big smile fell upon the petite girl's face, as she took a seat beside him, "Then why you gotta be mad?" There was a long pause, as Zell's eyes never left Selphie.
"Tch! Somethin' you know, you can't even be less annoying," he remarked, suddenly getting back to his food.
"Oh, now I'm annoying?" Selphie question, her eyes widened as though she were confused.
"Not now, been," Zell retorted, a cocky grin upon his lips. Selphie paused, as her eyes grew tense, as she quickly slapped him on the shoulder.
"Damn!" Zell yelled out, causing attention to stir around the room. Quistis sighed, as she slowly stood up, leaving the two to argue. She slowly tried to block out all noises that encircled her, as she trudged towards the exit, only the sound of her boots clattering that she heard. She then noticed Irvine exiting, a couple feet ahead, a tall red head at his side. She felt an odd feeling sweep over her, as she slowly continued towards the exit.
All right, so Irvine was quick. Not in a nasty way. But it sure did seem that he had gotten over people quite fast. It caused Quistis to be disgusted at times. She solemnly walked towards the dorms, as her thoughts never seemed to drift off of that recurring thought in that very same moment. How could he do that to her? To someone, he claimed to care for? Or had he stopped?
"I see that you're in love, I know its not with me. But I don't want the truth to haunt my memory. Now I realize that you're not mine, but I'm hopin' it will heal in time."
