Someone Like Me
Chapter 3: Fuujin
Woohoo! Chapter three! I'm just pumpin' these babies out one after another! ^_^ Alright another Fuujin chapter! I hope/wish that someone's enjoying this… if not… well… *shruggles* oh well then, ne? R&R. Don't be rude, no rants… If I suck… don't read it. ^_^ heh. Enjoy.
…gaze at me. That's all he could do. He had the nerve to keep his body sprawled on top of mine. His… eyes, they are so clear… no one has ever dared look straight into my eye… Yes, eye. My left eye is white and is so sensitive to light that I must keep it covered… which I do, with an eye patch… One that Seifer always thought looked cool. What is this feeling? I didn't know what to do… so I did the only thing I knew how.
"JERK." I say as I push him off of me. He lands on his backside wailing in pain and holding his wrist.
"Sheesh, Fuujin! It wasn't MY fault!" Zell cries, pain still in his voice. I stare at him for a moment, frozen in my spot. What do I do now? …Walk away. Hurry. I can't… he… helped me… I notice him look at my bare legs and realize that I am still only wearing my oversized button up shirt. I ignore this, though, knowing that I'm not much to look at anyway.
"HURT." I ask as I kneel down next to him. He quickly looks into my eye, startled I suppose. What? I can't worry about someone hurt? No… that's not like me.
"I think it's broken," Zell whimpers… He is a wuss… can't even take a little pain. I take his hand carefully in my own and look at it. When I look up at him, I see him staring at me with a red tint to his cheeks. I… is that a… a blush? I fumble for a curaga spell and use it on him. I get up and leave quickly, leaving Hotdog Zell in confusion. No one has ever blushed at me…
I race back to the Dormitory, my heart thumping in my chest. I'm so confused… That was so unlike me…
"Fuji-chan! What are ya doin' out here in yur pajamas? Did you lock yourself out?" a voice says as a figure approaches.
"SEIFER." I reply. How embarrassing…
"What happened? You look like you just got into a fight… Did someone hurt you? I don't need to kill someone, do I?" At this I chuckled… which is also not normal for me… But it has been happening quite a bit since the posse has returned... Not too much around the others but around Seifer and Raijin.
"No, eh? Then… were you at the Secret Area?" Seifer asks with a wide grin on his face. I feel my cheeks burn gently. A… a blush? I… blushed?
"NO. S… something in a dream told me to go to the Training Area." I reply.
"Uh huh. It's okay. I AM your best friend, you don't have to lie to me," Seifer teases. I feel my face flush brighter. How dare he accuse me of going to such a childish, repulsive place!
"JERK." I say as I punch him in the arm. I quickly unlock my dormitory door and enter as he continues to laugh. I fling the door shut in his face and he laughs harder.
"I guess *chortle* that you don't wanna go with me and Raijin to Train. *snicker*" Seifer laughs through the door. Sometimes I can't help but hate him.
"LEAVE." I command.
"Alright, alright. We'll meet you for lunch later. So, get some sleep," Seifer says, no longer laughing.
"FINE." I reply as I fall backwards onto my bed. I lay there for a few minutes pondering what I should do next. So many thoughts race through my head… I was far from wanting to go back to sleep. I stare up at the ceiling of my unlit dormitory thinking of the SeeD who had come to my aid in the Training Center. How did he know you where there? I think to myself. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Dumb luck. That's all. I shake my head disapprovingly at Zell's idiocy and decide that I no longer wish to think about the childish SeeD.
I walk over to my desk where a stack of papers lay. I figure that correcting my class' test papers would keep my mind off of recent events. It's not that I like correcting papers or even giving written tests for that matter; but it is a requirement to have at least two written tests per semester. I would much rather see my students in action than see how much they can memorize for a silly test. I lay back on the bed with my red pen in one hand and my other hand holding up my head. I get through the first five questions of one paper and pass out.
Why are we so alone? …Was it preordained? If I only had someone by my side… someone I knew would never leave me alone again…
Shut up, you! I don't need anyone! Just the Posse… No one else…
Come, now… You don't really believe that it will stay this way forever, do you? What a childish belief. You know better than anyone that Seifer wants to marry Quistis. (gasp! Teehee) You don't want to die and lonely, old maid.
That's preposterous… I can handle it…
Are you sure…………
I slowly open my eye. Everything is still somewhat blurry as I try to see what time it is. What a strange dream… It was pitch black and… there where voices… I stand up in a jolt, realizing it is 12:15 in the afternoon. I am late for lunch. Thank Hyne it was the weekend and I didn't have classes. I get dressed in my normal Posse uniform, which I always where on weekends because I have to wear my teaching uniform every other day of the week, and grab the stack of papers that are now sprawled on my bed.
I hurry through the halls towards the quad where the entire New Posse always hangs out. When I arrive at the Quad, I stop dead in my tracks. Him… Zell was bouncing around punching the air like he always does in his idiotic manner. His hand seems fine now… I couldn't move.
I feel someone's shoulder smash into my own. It was probably someone not paying attention and in a lament hurry.
"RAGE." I growl, feeling quite touchy at that moment. The student yelps and turns around.
"I… Instructor Fuujin! I… I'm sorry! Please forgive me," the student stuttered. I believe his name is Nida. He trembled slightly, afraid of my punishment.
"GO." I tell him, my tone of voice lightening up a little. He stares at me for a moment, avoiding eye contact.
"Thank you, I… Instructor," Nida hesitates as he jogs off. *sigh* What is wrong with you? Get going! Why are you just standing here. It's the same as every other day. GO! I take a deep breath and walk slowly towards the Posse. Seifer is not there yet and Zell is telling the others something. Please don't let him be telling them about last night. How would it look if they knew that I almost got defeated by a measly Training Center monster. That the IDIOT had to help me… Oi, where is Seifer when I need him? I continue slowly towards the table and hear…
End ch. 3!! Yeay! What do ya think! ^_^ heh. It will start getting more romantic shortly. Hehehe and if you're bored… well… sorry, I'm trying my best. I know my writing and stories aren't the best but, I love doing it any ways! ^_^ thankies and prepare for chapter 4! Yeay another Zell POV!
