A/n: Thank you soo much to all who had reviewed! I really appreciated it! Here's chapter 3!

Chapter 3
'That's Squall Leonhart?! Oh shit...'
Squall clenched his fist, mentally reminding himself that he can't hit a girl.
"I...I'm so sorry!" The poor girl stuttered.
"You will leave this school and get out of my sight or you'll be wishing that you parents had never brought your pathetic existence to this world." Squall growled and stormed off.
"Woah! You're in the record book for making him this pissed, lady." Irvine added casually as he walked past with Zell keeping his silence.
"He really meant what he said. My condolences." Seifer said emotionlessly as continued walking.
'What's that supposed to mean? I'm not gonna give in to him...am I?'
Rinoa slowly inhaled more air, trying to swallow the whole incident. 'Damn! How's that for my first day?'
"Rinoa..." Selphie called for her friend softly, "I'll...I'll go get some more of that liquid!" With that, she rushed off, leaving her friend still rooted to the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Squall, where're you going?" Zell panted as he caught up with his friend who was probably walking as fast as a chocobo would run.
"Home! Where else do you expect? You think I'll parade in this?"
"Well, I'm getting to class, heh, trying to score with that hot babe sitted two rows in front of me! See ya!" Irvine waved to his friends as he entered the classroom down the corridor.
"I'll follow you! I dun wanna go through another of Mr. Olsen's lecture." Zell said.
"What about you?" Squall asked Seifer.
"I'm with you guys. Could you ring your chauffer, you really need to change quick." Seifer answered as he covered his nose.
"Stop making things worse for me." Squall muttered as he took out his phone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*At the Caraways' home*
"Mum, I'm home!" Rinoa called out tiredly.
"How's your first day?" Julia asked happily.
"Great, just great..." Rinoa answered as she climbed up the stairs to her room. "Mum, what would you do if I wanted to leave Balamb Academy?"
"That bad a day, huh? Noa, you know that your father and I worked really hard to get you in. Things would have been easier for us if your father was still a gener-"
"No use brooding over it! It has been two years since he stepped down already!"
"Yes, and I don't see why you still won't want to change your last name back!"
Rinoa had adapted her mother's last name since she was seven as she was sick of how people would treat her differently and were probably even scared of her because of her status as the daughter of one of the most powerful man in the region. Scared of her...she wouldn't want that. Rinoa Heartilly would be able to live an ordinary life that Rinoa Caraway could never have!
"Mum!" Rinoa said frustrated, "We've been through this conversation a thousand times! And besides, Heartilly sounds nicer than Caraway!" (A/n: I think so too! Don't you?)
"Back to your school, what's so bad about it? It's of the upper class, of the rich, life that would be so much more comfortable, wouldn't it?" Julia looked at her daughter who seemed to be lost in thought.
'Life there comfortable? You will leave this school and get out of my sight or you'll be wishing that you parents had never brought your pathetic existence to this world. Those words from THE Squall Leonhart who could do anything with a snap of his fingers? How is my life there ever possibly gonna be peaceful? Besides, we aren't even part of the rich, why bother so hard about fitting in?'
"Mum, about leaving the school? It was just a thought..."
"Okay...go take a warm bath now, I'll call you for dinner later."
"Got it." Rinoa called from her room. 'That's it! I'm getting back to school tomorrow! No way am I gonna let some jerk push me around!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Next day at school*
Rinoa nervously walked into the academy as she griped her books so hard that she left imprints of her nails in it. She prayed silently that somehow the horrid incident had just vaporized in time.
"Rinoa!"
The young girl found her friend calling out to her. "Hey Selphie!" Her voice quivered even as she tried her best to sound cheerful, "Err...what's new my friend?"
"Rinoa, do you know how much trouble you'll be in if Squall Leonhart finds you her-"
"My, my, look who we have here." A mocking voice interrupted Selphie's words. Rinoa looked up to see the person she feared and loathed most with his lackeys close behind.
"Did someone forget what I said yesterday or is that someone trying to defy me?" Squall spat his last few words.
Rinoa looked down for a second, frightened and feeling pathetic. 'No! Who's afraid of this mutated looking, messy haired, leather clothed, Mr. Macho wannabe freak?!'
"Hey yo-" She started.
Squall raised his hand to her face cutting her off, "You've had my warning, now I'll just have to keep my word." He turned his back to her and walked off.
"Get out of my way!" Squall barked as he pushed a girl who happened to be unlucky enough to be crossing his path, knocking her books out of her hold. Irvine and Zell trailed behind ignorant of what he did. Seifer bent down to help the girl to her feet and proceeded to pick her books up for her.
"Thank you so much, Almasy!" The girl gushed as though her prince charming had came to her rescue.
'At least, one of them ain't *that* bad...' Rinoa thought not knowing that a smile had stealthily crept to her face as she watched Seifer disappear around the corner.
"Uh oh! Rin didn't you hear what Leonhart said! Aw man! You're in biiiggg troub-" Selphie looked at her friend who was spacing out. "Err.Rin? You there?" She started waving her hands in front of Rinoa's face.
"Huh? Did you say something?" Rinoa asked as she snapped out of her daze.
"Whacha smiling at?"
"N-n-nothing! Umm...Selph?"
"Yeah?"
"What's the name of that guy with the cowboy hat?" Rinoa inquired, trying to figure who was Mr. Nice Guy.
"Oh that's Irvine Kinneas! He's a flirt!"
"So that blonde guy is Seifer Almasy then?"
"Since you've already met Zell Dincht, I'm guessing you asking about the other blonde...yeah, that's Seifer Almasy." Selphie confirmed.
"Oh, okay!" Rinoa smiled.
"Hmm..." Selphie said thoughtfully, "Well, let's get to class!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What are you planning to do about that girl?" Zell asked.
"She's gonna get 'The Treatment'. So, Irvine have you found out what's her name?" Squall answered.
"Rinoa Heartilly. Damn, she's really cute too bad you want her out of here. I could have scored big time! Oh, by the way, what's 'The Treatment'?"
Squall raised an eyebrow, "It's 'The you-hafta-get-out Treatment'!"
"Umm...what's that anyway?"
Squall slapped his forehead, "Man, don't you guys ever learnt?"
"So what is it?" Seifer asked, obviously irritated.
"Well, it's *whisper whisper whisper*"
