Truth and lies (part two)
Selphie was sitting in the table and as soon as she noticed Seifer entering the room, she waved her hand to lead the blond to her table. Seifer walked firmly across the cafeteria and didn't care about the evil looks which some people gave him. He sat down opposite Selphie and turned his ocean-eyes on the yellow-dressed girl.
''Nice that you made it so quickly.'' Selphie grinned and drank her tea. Seifer took a bite from the roll he had collected from the table. Green eyes watched him up and down.
''Mm, but why did you want ME here? I thought that someone else of your friends would have come.''
''I wanted to come here with you! Besides I think that you have changed your attitude and that you are nice.'' She said and smiled happily. Seifer took this as a compliment and was about to look back to Selphie when he saw something which made him feel bad inside.
Squall was standing in the doorway with Rinoa. Rinoa was talking to him about something but Seifer didn't hear their conversation. He felt jealous, Rinoa was hugging his man! But now it was clear, Seifer wouldn't have a chance on him. He felt the striking pain on his chest when Rinoa's lips hungrily met the lips of Squall, who answered to the kiss as hungrily as she did.
''I love you Squall, and I want you to hold me tonight..'' Rinoa whispered and pressed herself closer to Squall's small body. Squall just smiled and smoothed down the raven-black hair. He loved to hold Rinoa this way, he loved to feel her heartbeat.
Seifer's eyes were suddenly filled with hate and disgust towards what he saw. Selphie wrinkled her eyebrows and asked with silent voice.
''Seifer? Are you okay?''
Seifer turned his cold eyes on Selphie. Behind the disgusted look there was disappointment and sorrow. The tall blonde didn't answer, he just shook his head and pressed his eyes on the bottom of his empty class.
''I'm fine, just fine, marvellous..don't care about me just eat and have fun.'' Seifer tried to smile, but he wasn't sure if he could hold his tears back anymore. His appearance got hard and he started to bite his lower-lip. Seifer left running and noticed that Selphie ran after him. He didn't care! He didn't care about anything anymore! It was so hard to act-out that you had a hard shell protecting your heart, when you didn't have one.
Seifer remembered the promises from far. He had promised to Squall that they'd be friends forever. That was the time of innocence, the time of happiness. But then was then and now was now. Things had changed and Seifer couldn't denye the fact that he was in love with his current rival. Somehow he had always felt this way.
He stopped to the yard, which lead to the frontgate and sat down to catch his breath. Selphie arrived shortly and knealed before him, puzzled look on her face.
''What was that all about Seifer? You still love Rinoa do you not?'' She asked voice lowered, still breathing heavy, but soon she was sitting next to the blonde. Seifer didn't move a muscle, he just started to the sky with his eyes and the silence between them was terribly.. silent.
''Rinoa? What makes you think that? Rinoa is bitch, worst of a kind what I know, after she dumped me I have never desired her again. She was no good, and she is definetly nothing more than a thief of hearts!'' Seifer exploded and explained to Selphie who just listened him talking in silence. It seemed that she started to understand him.
''So, you..love Squall..?'' Selphie questioned, with green eyes round like balls on her othervice cute face. Seifer nodded his head and was ready to leave.
''Now that you know you might aswell punch me down and tell everybody what kind of a puff I'm..'' Where was his attitude? Where was his anger and the famous Almasy-purposefulness? For the first time of her life, Selphie saw Seifer Almasy as soft as a pillow. He was almost pitiful to her eyes. Firmly Selphie pressed her arm on his shoulder and smiled lightly.
''Why should I punch you? U know, feelings are always feelings and we can't help them. Love is one of those feelings which we are not able to hide.'' Selphie said and smiled wider already. Seifer turned to meet her eyes.
''How did you know that I loved him?'' Seifer whispered, he noticed that his thoughts had betrayed him.
''Somehow I saw it, the way you always look at him isn't very normal if people hate each other. The look in your eyes isn't cold when you look at him, you appear to be soft inside. And Seifer, don't fall down! There is always a new day coming!'' Selphie laughed and jumped up, stretching her arms and neck.
''I guess that you are right. I should cheer up!'' Seifer said and closed his eyes. He hoped that a new day would come already. Selphie looked at him once more.
''If you need to talk you know where to find me, and never give up on your dream.'' She smirked and left him. Seifer remained there thinking on his own. Selphie's reaction was good, she didn't start to hate him no matter was he gay or not. His mind was spinning around and he didn't feel like going to the lessons today, so he decided to take a day off.
***************************************************************************
Seifer sat there and thought everything what had happened to him. When he thought it once more, he had to confess that he felt something for Squall. But Squall was so far away from him, they could never be together.
''Why are you so down Seifer?'' Asked someone with almost cheerful voice. First Seifer thought that it was Selphie, but this voice belonged to a male.
''That's non of your bussiness..'' He said almost angrily and rubbed his cheek. He saw the shadow of the talker, which didn't move away as he had expected. This made Seifer feel annoyed and he lifted his eyes.
''Ohh, it's the cowboy! Irvine why don't you hit the road..'' Irvine just stayed put and watched him with a calm face.
''I said go away and leave me alone!!'' Seifer shouted and stood up.
''Not until you tell me what's wrong..'' Irvine said and crossed his arms on his chest, his brown hair flew with the wind around them. Seifer was puzzled. What was wrong in him now? Why did Squall's friends suddenly act so nice to him?
''I'm not willing to take your pity Kinneas! I don't need your damn sympathy! You can just go to hell and leave me alone.''
''In hell am I not gonna leave you alone!!'' Irvine shouted and his face was serious. ''You look bad and people around you are feeling bad too, even the innocent..only because you have a problem. Things can't continue like this!! You must tell me..''
''Why is everybody suddenly so curious about how I feel? Well let me tell you how I feel! I feel depressed because people I love can't love me, because they love someone else!!'' he said. Now he had done it, told his trouble to people who he used to hate before. First Selphie and now Irvine. They both were strange to him.
''Hmm, well as a matter afact I have the same kind of broblems...'' Irvine sighed and placed a hand on his cowboy hat. He pulled it to cover his eyes. ''We just have to accept the facts which are given to us..'' Irvine continued and smiled strangely under his hat and walked away.
''Some strange guy he is..'' Seifer thought and shook his head. Time had ran so fast, that it already was late evening when he left towards his dormitory.
