{Okay, okay… I'm alright… but I only had 1 review =( Oh well…
*sniffles* but I understand, nothing really happened yet. Lol. Anyway,
hope you enjoy!}
I spun around to face my speaker. A tall man with blonde hair and wore a scar on his face stood behind me. An outline of a beard growing could be seen. His grey trench coat was dirty and slashed everywhere. It seemed as if he's never been home for a long time. His hand clutched tightly to a gunblade.
"Of course I'm not looking for YOU." I sneered at him. He was the world's most hated man, if only felt right to hate him too. But I knew, deep down, I didn't truly hate him.
"Deny it all you want. But I was looking for you too." He said looking behind him uneasily.
"And why would you be looking for me?" I questioned. Something seemed awfully suspicious about him.
"I need you to help me get back into the garden." He answered, still glancing behind him every couple seconds.
"Everyone in the garden hates you. Why would you want to be back in a hated place?" I said matter-of-factly.
"It's much safer than out here. And I know not everyone hates me." He grabbed my hand and tightly held it. "Please." His pleading eyes made my heart melt.
(He's… hot… oh no, no, no, no, no, NO! I couldn't have just thought that! This is Seifer I'm talking about. SEIFER! He's not cute! He's evil, he's bad, he's… he's… he's… hot. He's so muscular, he's … oh no! I did it again! No! This is all wrong, not right. This is a nightmare! I can't possibly be thinking like this! Totally wrong! Seifer is evil. He tried killing me. Bad. Evil. Wrong.) I pulled my hand away and opened my mouth to say something, but was interrupted.
"There he is! Kill him." An immense man commanded four other huge men. They all wielded swords and came charging towards us, but stopped a few feet away. The largest man, probably being the leader of the pack, came up to me. He looked to be like two feet taller than me. He grabbed my chin roughly and tilted my head upwards. I tried to break free, but he obviously was too much of a match for me.
"Hmmm, not bad, not bad." He said.
Suddenly, Seifer broke his grasp and made him tumble backwards. He held his gunblade pointing towards them. His other arm shielded me from them. I never expected Seifer to do something like that.
"Back off, or I'll kill you." Seifer said sternly.
The other four guys drew their swords out and held it in a ready position, but all the big man did was laugh. I knew why he was laughing. Sure Seifer's strong, he could probably take two of them down, but five was too many, even if I helped. Seifer was outnumbered.
"How about this. You hand over the woman and I'll spare your life. AND I'll tell the others not to go around looking for you to kill you." He bribed.
"She's not for sale."
The man glared at Seifer and drew out his sword, but luckily Selphie, Rinoa, Squall Irvine, Zell and his girlfriend came rushing out. They all drew out their weapons except for Zell –who was still at least half drunk and didn't know what was going on— and his girlfriend –who didn't know how to fight—.
"Hmph, underestimated you again Almasy. Never thought you'd still have allies. You're lucky this time. Come on boys." He and his group began walking away.
"We were only defending for Quistis." I heard Irvine mutter.
"Quisty! Are you alright? We were so worried when you didn't come back!" Selphie ran up to me and gave me a big hug.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Squall glared at Seifer.
"Well, it's nice to see you again." Seifer smirked that stupid smile of his.
"Answer me." Squall never left Seifer off his sight.
"I'll see you later Quistis." He turned his back towards us and walked away.
"Quistis, what did he want?" Squall demanded.
"I… I … I… don't know." I didn't know why I just lied to Squall. For Seifer! (I am totally losing my mind. I need a break. A long, long, long break. And I need it now!)
"Squall! Don't be so mean to her! It's not her fault Seifer's here!" Rinoa snapped. "Come on, I think she needs to rest."
Rinoa and Selphie walked me to the car. The rest followed. I heard Squall muttering some curses under his breath. The car ride back to Balamb Garden wasn't a pleasant ride. Everyone felt uncomfortable to be stuffed into a tiny car with so many people, and nobody breathed a word. It was too quiet.

"Headmaster, I would like to request a vacation." I stood in Cid's office, early the next morning.
He looked at me strangely before saying, "A vacation? But your instructor's exam is coming up. Are you going to skip it?"
"I desperately need a vacation."
"Is it because of last night? Irvine told me what happened. Are you going to be alright dear?" Matron asked as she walked into the room.
Matron had always been such a kind person, except during the Sorceress Wars, but that was a different story. I liked Matron a lot, and I felt happy that she would always be on my side no matter what I did. Just like when she still cared for Seifer, despite his actions towards us. (Why did I just think of Seifer? I'm going on a vacation, then I can get rid of having Seifer in my thoughts. I'm going to have a great time without worrying about Seifer)
"Yes."
"Alright then, you may go. But only for two weeks." Matron smiled warmly at me.
"Thank you." I skipped out the door and ran to the elevator. I really needed a break. When the elevator came to a stop, I quickly ran into my dorm and began packing. (Peach battle outfit? No, I'm not going to bring that, I'm on a vacation! SeeD uniform? Definitely not. Don't I have any normal clothing? Well, I DO have that red dress, but it's too fancy. But then again, I don't have any other clothes. I should really go shopping.) I packed the red dress in my bag and some other hair accessories. When I finished, I carried it and walked out to the front gate. (I'm traveling really light. I should go shopping. Now to determine where to go. Hmmm, Deling City?) I boarded a cab and began my trip to Deling City.

"Rent is 600 gil a week here." A short, slender lady said.
"Well, I was kind of looking for something cheaper. Around the pricing of 100 gil a week. I will only be staying here for two weeks." I said, as I counted my money over and over again. I already spent too much for the new clothes I bought. Two pairs of tank tops, three pairs of jeans and a baby blue sweater, just in case.
"Well, there's only one house left then, but you'll have to share it with another person. Do you still want it?" She asked me.
"Sure."
"Okay." She led me into a small house, and unlocked the door. "Hmmm, seems like he's not home. But to warn you ahead of time, so you can't sue me, this guy doesn't seem like the nicest person to be around. I heard he's quite vicious." She whispered to me.
"It's alright. Here." I handed her the money and she handed me a key. I dropped all my stuff down and looked around the house. There were two rooms, a small kitchen, a bathroom, and a small living room. (I think I'll take a bath) I grabbed a towel, and some clothes and headed for the bathroom. I turned the tap, poured some bubble bath stuff in, and watched the water pour down. Then I undressed and got into the bath tub. (Hmmm, this feels nice.) Suddenly, I heard the door open. (Hmmm, he must be back) I thought, not thinking clearly, until he opened the bathroom door. I shrieked. It was Seifer…
{Oh no, I have to go to school soon! Darnn. Oh well, anyway, I'm gonna try upload this really fast… so if there's lots of mistakes.. sorry! Btw, please review!}
