{Totally sorry it took me FOREVER to get this chapter… truth is… I
was too lazy to write!! I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, sorry for
making everyone wait!!! I feel bad now ( I'll try not to do that too often
k? But I still luv ya all for reviewing!!! So nice of everyone to do so!
Okay, last chapter… Quisty and Seify (best couple ever… by the way… hehe)
are finally together!! And… Rinoa and Squall are having problems…
*gasp*!!! Anyway, I guess you'll have to read on to find out what actually
happens! Enjoy!}
Squall stormed past us. I grabbed his arm, but he turned around to face me. He glared at me, which sent shivers down my spine. I couldn't understand why he did that to me.
"Don't touch me Quistis." He said as he pushed me back into Seifer. Seifer immediately pushed me back up, and walked in front of Squall. Seifer pointed a finger at him.
"Don't you ever treat Quistis like that." He said sternly. I couldn't help but smile. Seifer obviously cared for me. And I loved him for that.
"Go away you fukkin' lapdog. I don't care how I treat people, and you shouldn't care how I treat anyone either. So shut the hell up and leave me alone." Squall whispered harshly and stormed off. Rinoa, who had bursted into tears, ran out after him.
"Seifer… I think I should go talk to Rinoa and Squall. I'm sorry for what happened…" He cut me off by kissing me on my lips.
"Don't be… it's not your fault… I'll see you tomorrow at noon in the cafeteria… okay?" He smiled at me.
I gave him a kiss, and ran out after Rinoa and Squall.
* * *
I slowed down my pace as I approached Squall's dorm room. Rinoa was sitting down, hugging her knees and leaning against Squall's closed door. I approached her, but she quickly got up, wiping the tears from her face.
"Please… Quistis, I need some time alone." She whimpered as she walked away. I stood in the middle of the corridor for a while, thinking what to do next. I finally decided to check how Squall was doing. So I quietly walked over to his door and tapped on it lightly.
"Go away Rinoa. I don't want to see you right now." He said.
"It's me, Quistis." I replied.
The door suddenly flung open. Squall grabbed my arm and pulled me in, closing the door behind. His room was pitch black. He didn't turn on the lights, and I wasn't planning to do so.
"Quistis… she lied to me…" He said softly. He sounded really hurt.
"I'm sure she didn't mean to. I'm sure she thought that she was pregnant but…" he cut me off.
"No… It's not only that… she likes Seifer…" He whispered into my ear.
I backed away from him, tripping over something and stumbled onto the ground. I felt Squall's weight on me.
"… no… no she doesn't. You're just imagining things…" I managed to choke out. (There's no way she could like Seifer. Seifer's mine… she can't take him away from me… not now… not ever…)
"She does Quistis. I know she does… just like… I love you…" his words penetrated into my mind. (No… that's not possible. Squall's crazy. He can't possibly like me! He never has… and never will… and besides… I have Seifer right now…)
"No you don't Squall. Don't' be ridiculous." I said as I tried pushing him off me.
"I should know if I do or don't Quistis… and I'm certain that I do…" He grabbed my hand and pushed away as he leaned closer towards me.
"Squall! This is all wrong! There's no way you like, there's no way Rinoa likes Seifer! This can't possibly be! I love Seifer… Squall it's a fact." I said trying to push him off again.
"Quistis, I know you really don't love Seifer… you have always liked and loved me… I know Quistis… I'm sorry for doing this to you… I'm sorry for not noticing you… until now… until I can't have you any more… Quistis… I'm sorry." He whispered.
"This is absurd! Get off me Squall, I don't like you! Maybe I did before, but I don't anymore! Get off me!" Amazingly, I managed to push him off to the side. I quickly got up and ran out the door. (This is all wrong, this is not right. I love Seifer… I do not love Squall. And Squall does not love me. And Rinoa doesn't like Seifer. And if she does, there's no way in hell is she going to get him that easily. He's mine. All mine. Seifer. I love you Seifer…) I thought as I ran into my dorm room. I slammed the door and jumped onto my bed. (This is all wrong. I love Seifer, not Squall. I do right now, and will forever. There's no way I'm going to love Squall now that I have Seifer… no way…) I hugged Sibbie and closed my eyes to fall asleep.
* * *
I woke up drowsily as the sun's rays blinded me. I yawned and reached to the side for Sibbie. I gasped when I didn't feel it, but relaxed when I saw it lying on the ground. I quickly washed up and got dressed. When I was ready, I walked out my dorm room to be greeted by Selphie. She was wearing her usual yellow out fit, and as usual, she was all perky and happy. We both walked to the cafeteria together. As we turned into the cafeteria, we saw everyone huddled in a corner. Seifer and Squall were standing across from each other, in the middle. Armed with their gunblades… pointing at each other.
"She's mine Seifer. She always liked me better. Even when we were little kids in the orphanage. She cared for me more. She's mine." Squall hissed at Seifer.
"She may have liked you before… and she may have cared for you more when we were little, but now she loves me, and there's no way you're going to take her away from me that easily!" Seifer shouted as he charged at Squall. Both of their gunblades collided against each other and they began fighting. We all watched in fear as sparks were seen whenever they're gunblades danced with each other. After a short while, they finally stopped. Again, they stood across from each other, gunblades pointing at each other. Only this time, they stood at the opposite end.
"Please stop this!" I shouted. Seifer turned to face me.
"Quistis…" he exclaimed happily. But suddenly, he screamed in pain. Squall had taken advantage and slid his gunblade through Seifer. I screamed and ran towards the fallen Seifer.
"Seifer! Don't die… please don't leave me…" I cried as I held him in my arms.
"Quistis…" He slowly managed to say. "I… love…y…" before he could finish, he collapsed.
* * *
"SEIFER!!! I screamed as bolted upright on my bed. I felt sweat pouring down my forehead. Breathing heavily, I finally realized that it was only a dream. Suddenly, there was someone knocking on my door.
"Quistis…are you alright?" I heard Seifer's voice.
I quickly got out of bed and opened the door to see him. I jumped up and hugged him tightly when I saw him. He carried me inside and closed the door behind us.
"Are you okay?" He asked again.
"Seifer! I was so scared! I thought I had lost you! Don't ever leave me!" Tears almost fell upon my cheek. I was still hugging him.
"It's okay Quistis. I'm here with you. Don't worry. I won't leave you." He voice was so reassuring. Slowly, I let go of him and sat on my bed, staring at him dreamily.
"… what? What is it?" He said after a moment of my staring at him.
"Nothing. I just wanted to look at you…" I smiled.
He grinned back at me, and playfully tackled me down on my bed. He began tickling me.
"Stop… Seifer… please stop." I managed to say between giggles, but that only provoked him to do it some more. "Seifer! Please stop!" I pleaded between giggles. But he continued. So I leaned in and kissed him on his lips. He stopped tickling me and kissed me back wrapping his arms around me. I was about to pull his trench coat off, but my phone rang. I gently nudged him off, and rolled over to the phone.
"Hello?" I said in my instructor's voice.
"Ms. Trepe? I didn't wake you up did I?" Xu asked on the other end.
"No."
"That's good. Ms. Trepe, headmaster Cid would like to see you immediately. Please come to his office." Xu said.
"Alright, I'll be there in about 10 minutes."
"Bye."
"Bye." I said as I hung up. I turned back to face Seifer. He looked a bit disappointed.
"Does that mean you'll leave me?" He asked jokingly.
I smiled at him and gave him a kiss.
"Of course not. I just have to see Cid." I walked over to my closet to find something to wear.
"… but I don't want you to go…"
"Seifer, I'll be back, don't worry!" I laughed.
* * *
"Headmaster? You asked to see me?" I said as I entered his office.
"Ah, yes. Quistis. I'd like to talk to you about your Instructor's Exam…" he began.
(… Fukk… I probably failed so bad on it. I was hoping he wouldn't remind me of it…) I thought.
"Your marks… for the Instructor's Exam… was… below average. Quistis, is something bothering you? I could have never imagined a person such as yourself fail this exam that badly. Quistis, you have passed it before… what is wrong my dear?" He asked. He sounded really worried about me.
"… It was just a bad day for me, Sir. I'm sorry for disappointing you." I replied, unsure if he'd buy my excuse. He looked at me oddly, but continued on with his lecture.
"Quistis. I'm sure there's something wrong. Don't be afraid to tell me. I'm sure I can help you." Headmaster said.
"Quistis, my dear, if you wish not to speak of it, then you needn't. There's going to be another Instructor's exam in about 3 months. We'll let you take it over again. But if you fail that one, even we can't help you." Matron said when she walked into the office.
Headmaster Cid opened his mouth to say something, but Matron interrupted.
"You are dismissed dear."
I saluted them, and walked out the room. As I walked out, Seifer walked in. I looked at him, about to say something, but he ignored me. I felt a little hurt, but I continued on my way to the cafeteria.
* * *
"Rinoa! How could you do that to her?! She's our friend!" I hear Selphie exclaim when I was walking near the cafeteria.
"Selphie! We have to do this to her! It's for her own good! You want the best for her right? This is the only way that we can!" Rinoa argued.
"Rinoa, this is all wrong. You're gonna end up hurting her! You can't possibly do this to her! She's our friend! I can't let you do this to her, I'm going to tell her!" Selphie said. I just walked into the cafeteria. I walked up to their table.
"Hello Selphie, hello Rinoa." I said, ignoring what I heard. I didn't know who they were talking about, but I guess it was none of my business.
"Quistis, I have to tell you something. Rinoa and S…" Rinoa quickly cut her off.
"Selphie!" She exclaimed. "I'm sorry Quistis, Selphie and I have some things to attend to… I'm sorry we can't stay and have lunch with you…" Rinoa got up and grabbed Selphie's arm dragging her along.
(What is up with those two? And who the hell are they talking about? Who's her? And what about this hurting?) I shrugged and took a seat just in time to see Seifer walking in. He looked a bit angry, but took a seat at my table.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"Quistis… Cid just said that I have to leave tomorrow." He replied angrily.
"What?! But you did nothing wrong! How can he…" I began, but Seifer continued what he was saying.
"Cid has moved my SeeD exam earlier. I have to go to Dollet to take care of some issues. I won't be back until three days." He said.
"Then… that means… I can't see you for three days…" I sighed.
"Sorry Quistis…"
"Seifer! There you are! I was looking all of for you! I need to talk to you privately!" Matron came in.
"Sorry Quistis, I'll talk to you later… meet you later in my dorm room." He winked at me before leaving with Matron. I sighed again. I had lost all my appetite, and there was no point of eating if I wasn't hungry, so I got up to walk around the garden.
* * *
I entered the Quad and looked around. It was a mess, but there was no one there, so I decided to go in. I wanted some time alone. I wanted to rethink things. (Seifer has to leave soon… I failed my Instructor's Exam miserably… Rinoa might be hiding something from me… something that Selphie knows and was about to tell me… could it possibly be that she really does like Seifer? And Squall… he and Rinoa are possibly in a fight… but not only that… she said that he loved me…) I thought as I kicked an empty can.
"I'm so confused…" I said a loud. Suddenly, I someone put their hand over my mouth and dragged me into a dark corner.
"Quistis…" I heard Squall's voice call to me…
{Ack!!! What's going on now?! Noooo!!! Seifer and Quistis just got together!!! How could this possibly happen?! Will Quistis' love for Seifer last? Does she still love Squall? Does Rinoa like Seifer? And what is Rinoa hiding from Quistis?!? Why didn't she let Selphie continue what she was saying?! Why's this happening after things began settling with Quistis and Seifer? Noo! The perfect couple!! They MUST be together….!!! Right…? Oh wait… silly me… I know what all happens… hehehe, but YOU don't! Now you have to wait for my other chapter(s)… I'm sorry! But you just have to wait! Am I being too mean? Hahaha, well, I'm sorry! But please do review!!! Thnxs!}
Squall stormed past us. I grabbed his arm, but he turned around to face me. He glared at me, which sent shivers down my spine. I couldn't understand why he did that to me.
"Don't touch me Quistis." He said as he pushed me back into Seifer. Seifer immediately pushed me back up, and walked in front of Squall. Seifer pointed a finger at him.
