Squall ignored the knocking on his door and continued on with his project. The knocking came again, followed by a voice. "I know you're in there, Squall! Why is your dresser in the hallway?" It was Selphie. He ignored her again but she opened the door and let herself in. He looked up at her annoyed, with purple spots all over his face and arms.
Selphie looked around the room curiously. The bed had been pushed into the middle of the room and one and a half of the walls were a deep shade of purple. "I'm not gonna ask." she said.
"Whatever." Squall mumbled and resumed painting. She watched him work, he appeared to be concentrating really hard.
"I just came to remind you that there's going to be another little Garden Festival tonight. The whole gang will be there." Selphie informed him. "It starts at eight. You will come won't you?"
"Whatever." he mumbled again and she gave up. She left him alone with his painting.

The library girl with the ponytail sighed as she pushed the cart of returned books down the aisle. She put one of the books back in its place on a shelf and was about to move on when she noticed that the whole book shelf was shaking. She looked around but there was no one else there. Continuing on, she returned another book to the same shelf and found that it was still shaking. Stepping back, she looked up and was surprised to see that there was someone perched on top of the of the shelving unit.
"Uh, excuse me." she called to them with her little voice and got no response. She looked closer and saw that it was Squall LeonHart up there, the friend of her crush, Zell Dincht. Whatever was he doing up there? "Excuse me!" she called again, louder this time and the SeeD looked down at her. "You'll have to get down from there!" He shook his head and continued to sit cross-legged on the book shelf.
The girl kept persisting but couldn't get him to listen to her. Fed up, she started returning more books, hoping that he would leave if she ignored him. Once in awhile, she'd glance back to see if he was still there and he indeed was. The other library staff also attempted to get the teenager down but with no luck.
For the rest of the afternoon, the library operated like usual. Balamb students came in for research or just to find a good book to read, oblivious to the teenage boy who was still sitting on top of the shelving unit. The girl with the pigtail noticed that he had a book with him and was reading it. It was a children's book but he appeared to be deeply engrossed in it.
After finishing the book for the second time, Squall dropped it over the edge, without a care. It plopped onto the floor next to a fellow student who curiously looked up to see where it came from. They saw a pair of feet dangling over the edge. The person walked away from the aisle, shaking his head, thinking he was going crazy.
Squall finally got bored of sitting on the bookcase and decided he wanted to get down. He then realised how high up he was and began to panic. He couldn't see a way down and now he couldn't even remember how he got up there. This couldn't be good. He looked around for a ladder or anything that would assist him on his way down but found nothing. 'Be brave, Squall.' he thought to himself and prepared to jump.
Spy music began to play, or at least in his head it did, and Squall leapt off of the bookcase while shouting "GERONIMO!" at the top of his lungs. His loud outburst attracted a lot of attention from the people in the library and he ran out of it. He sneaked around bookcases, carts, tables and chairs, believing he was a 'spy' as the music continued to play in his mind. Once outside, he leaned against the wall next to the library door, breathing heavily. He tapped his watch and spoke to it, "All right, Red Eagle, I'm out. Over."
The SeeD, who obviously was not well, began to wonder around Balamb again. He soon forgot about his whole 'spy' experience and then, realising how hungry he was, he began a search for something to eat.
