"What the hell was that for?" I shouted, still
shaken by surprise. He turned to face
me, our eyes met for a few seconds. Seifer's face seemed hurt. He
quickly turned away and hastily walked out. I stood there, breathing hard. It's
getting late. I turned toward the
sky, and stayed there to watch the sun set. The glorious, vibrant colors spread throughout the sky, giving the
horizon a beautiful shimmer.
I didn't know how long I've been there on the balcony staring at the sky, and I didn't realize it was dark. Looking at my watch for the time, I began to head to my dorm.
Reluctantly, I picked up my bags and books, and
slowly strolled down the dim-lit corridors of Balamb Garden. It's quiet.
I couldn't stop thinking about that face….Seifer's
face. Dammit, it's stuck in my
mind. I'm beginning to feel sorry for
him; that I slapped him. Who am I
kidding anyway? Served him right to
lunge out and kiss me like that. The
thought made me blush. True…but
slapping him was a bit harsh…was it?
Arriving in front of my dorm door, I stood
there. Sigh. What the hell. I turned around and headed to Seifer's dorm. Why am I doing this…….Should I? Seifer's
a big guy, he can take one slap to the face….but… before I knew it, I was
at his door. I took a deep breath. Should I reconsider this apology?
Knock knock. I stood there for an answer. No answer. Oh, he better not make me stand here with all these heavy things. I knocked again. No answer. I made a face.
Figures. Always cooped up in there, won't even care who's at the door.
Just as I was to walk away, the door creaked
open. I turned around, but I didn't see
Seifer. I got a little curious, so,
silently walking to the door, I entered his dorm, leaving the door open.
It's so dark. I stretched out my right arm to feel for the light
switch. Come on, where is it. Fumbling around, and touched the wall,
moving all over to find the switch.
My foot hit something hard. "Ow—" I covered my mouth, holding back the
pain. Continuing on, I moved across the
wall, until I bumped onto something big.
"Oof!" I stumbled backwards, but the extra weight
of my bags pulled me down to the floor. I landed hard with a thud. I
tried to look to see what it was….but dammit, it's too dark. Suddenly, the door slammed shut, and heavy
footsteps started coming toward me.
