AN: Alrighty then, here it b, the second chapter to my story. Mucho thanx to the peeps who reviewed, I REALLY appreciate it. Hahaha, I figured I wouldn't get any. You guys are great. Alright, I'm just sorta rambling now, so go read my story! Then review!
Quistis spun around so quickly she got a head ache and almost fell over. "Holy crap Almasy! What the hell are you doing here?!"
"What? Your precious puberty boy didn't tell you? I've been readmitted to Garden." He said matter of factly, "and YOU are gonna be my instructor."
He laughed at her reaction. Quistis glared back at him, "I haven't the slightest clue why they let a betrayer like you back into garden, though I intend on finding out. And as for me teaching you, in case you had oh so conveniently forgotten, I don't have my license. And the only reason I don't have my license is because I had a certain intolerably stubborn jackass in my class who didn't want to learn!" so I guess that was what Squall was trying to tell me. I'm so stupid, why would Squall ever want me, when he can have the perfect little princess?
"Who, chicken-wuss? I didn't know he had it in him…" Seifer replied with a look of mock confusion. Quistis merely responded with what Seifer took for a growl and stalked off. Seifer's grin faltered slightly. I guess I shouldn't have joked like that. Oh well, she'll get over it.
Quistis, who was still fuming, stalked out of the ballroom, out of the garden and to the beach. She didn't care if it was past curfew for being outside gardens walls, or that she was completely defenseless without her whip. Not that any monster was stupid enough to get in her way when she was in this kind of a mood, she could probably kill them with simply a glare. Why would any one be stupid enough to let Seifer back into the garden?! I might have felt sorry for him, but for hyne's sake! He betrayed not only garden, but the entire world, he tried to kill us all so many times I've lost count AND he tried to sacrifice Rinoa to Adel! After all that they still Let him in?! And they made me his instructor! These people are mad! He should be executed, not forgiven! By now Quistis was madder than Zell when he was to late to get a hotdog, and that was pretty damn mad, figuring Zell had a temper the size of a t-rexaur. After yelling a stream of cuss words at Seifer's re-admittance (that probably would have impressed him, rather than make him mad) and her bad luck at being his instructor, she sat down on the sand and stared out at the endless expanse of ocean and tried to calm herself down. Wait a minute! Maybe Seifer was just lying to me to get me pissed off! Surely Cid would have told me himself that I was to be Seifer's Instructor, instead of letting me find out on my own! Happy with her excuse, Quistis got up and walked back to her dorm. "I'll just go to Cid's office in the morning and everything will be sorted out." She said to herself with a content smile. Unfortunately, her good mood was immediately replaced with a bad one when she saw, yet again, Seifer, standing against the wall just outside gardens gate, arms crossed with the same smirk he always had. "talking to yourself, Instructor? That's a very bad habit, you know, someone might think your crazy."
"Seifer!!! What the- what are you doing? Following me? You know, stalking someone isn't exactly my idea of sane! Now go the hell away!" she yelled as she once again stalked away from Seifer.
Hyne she's moody. You'd think she'd just loosen up for once. All I wanted to do was apologize. Not that she'd believe me. Probably thinks I'm still that asshole I was before. Not that she's entirely wrong, but I have changed. She sure looked beautiful tonight though, even if she was a little bit to red, but you know, that might be because she was mad… wait a min- did I just think Quistis is beautiful? Sheez… I must have had too much to drink or something.
The next morning dawned and the first rays of light snuck in through Quistis' blinds and hit her face. She woke up and stretched, "Ahh, alright, time to go talk to Cid," She was about to walk over to her closet and grab something to wear, but she happened to glance in the mirror. Apparently she had forgotten to take off her make-up last night and her face was smeared with the color. "But maybe I should take a shower first…"
Quistis walked into her bathroom and let her clothes fall to the ground and stepped into the scalding hot shower. She let the water run over her body, relaxing her muscles that had been immensely tense ever since she first heard Seifer's voice the night before. AHHH! Why do my thoughts always end up drifting to either Squall or Seifer?!
When she finally exited the bathroom half an hour later towel drying her hair, she noticed a piece of paper had been slipped under her door. She picked it up and read it
Quistis:
Cid wants you to come to his office at ten-thirty to discuss some thing about your instructors license.
-Squall
P.S.- You gotta go shopping with me and Selphie today at noon! And you can't get out of it like last time, cause your goin', whether you want to or not!!
The last part was obviously written by Rinoa, not only because the hand writing was much neater, but also because the day Squall wants to go shopping is the day chocobos take over the world. What Rinoa was doing in Squall's room Quistis didn't even want to begin to wonder about. Oh well, there's no getting out of it, I guess I better go with them. I haven't been shopping in along time, anyways. She glanced over at her clock. "Oh my hyne! I can't believe it! It's already ten-twenty five! Im gonna be late!" She ran over to her closet and pretty much threw her usual outfit on, she didn't have time to put her hair up, so she just grabbed her brush, put on her boots and raced to the elevator. She quickly brushed out her still damp hair and straightened her clothes as best she could, then walked over to the desk where Xu was typing. "Hello Quistis, right on time," she said without even looking up. "the headmasters waiting for you in his office. Oh, and, I like the new hairstyle." Quistis ignored the last comment and walked into the office.
"Ah, Quistis my dear. I hope you've been doing well?" Cid asked in a fatherly manner.
"Err, yes, Headmaster? I have something to ask you. There have been some, shall we say, rumors floating about that you want me to teach Mr. Almasy. They aren't true, are they?"
"Well, actually, that was what I called you here for. You see, we have re-admitted Mr. Almasy to the Garden and train to become a SeeD one last time. If he fails his next field exam, he will be banned from any option at any Garden under any circumstances of becoming a SeeD. And we have appointed you his Instructor, seeing as you already have been and you two, err, know each other so well."
"But headmas-"
cid held up his hand to silence her, "Just hear me out on this Quistis. We have come to conclusions that while fighting against us under the rule of the Sorceress Ultimecia, Seifer was being possessed. My wife has vouched for this and requested that we give him one last chance."
"But-"
"AND, Seifer has great potential, provided he learns to follow orders better, he could quite easily become one of the best fighters at Garden. All of the students already respect him, or at least they're to scared to say anything to him. I have already been over all of this with Squall, and he has also agreed, under much pressure from Rinoa and Matron, mind you, that it is for the best. If another war breaks out, we definitely do NOT want him as our enemy again."
Quistis sighed in desperation. There was just no winning. "Alright Headmaster. I'll teach Seifer."
"very good! Oh and, If he does manage to pass the test, which, with you instructing him, I'm sure he will have no problem doing, you will of course regain your position as a full-fledged Garden instructor. Now off with you, you can start lessons tomorrow."
Quistis gave him a half-hearted salute. So what if I do get my instructors license back, I don't believe trying to teach Seifer Almasy to mind his manners is worth a position as the Queen of the world! "Hyne damn you, Almasy!"
"And now you're talking to people who aren't even there. I really am starting to believe you are crazy, my dear instructor. Have a nice meeting?" Quistis jumped. She turned around to see Seifer.
"Yes Seifer, I had a very fine meeting. I guess I will be meeting you tomorrow then. The Quad, 6:30. If you're late, I'm sure I can think of some very gruesome punishments, so I'd be punctual if I were you. That is, unless you want to be scrubbing the girl's bathrooms with a toothbrush for the next two weeks?" she answered with a fake smile.
"Wouldn't dream of it, Instructor." He said with a fake salute and then he sauntered into the Headmasters office. I think we'll start by working on that attitude of his. She thought, and this time she had a real grin on her face. Then she set off to her dorms in hopes of avoiding Selphie and Rinoa. She REALLY didn't feel like going shopping now.
