Chapter 12:
Everyone had welcomed Rinoa back in the garden when she finally returned. She went immediately to her dorm room and took a quick shower. She was so happy to be back home where she really belong.
After changing into a set of clean clothes, she heartily collapsed into her bed.
"Ding!" "All SeeD candidates, please proceed to the 2f corridor. I repeat, all SeeD candidates must proceed to the 2f corridor now." Quistis' voice boomed at the speaker.
Rinoa's smile faded from her face. "They'll be announcing those who passed the test." She remembered sadly. "I'd just stay here. It'll be useless to go upstairs anyway." She said to herself. She never expected that this day would happen. She always knew that she's going to be a SeeD and and her return from the field exam will signify triumph instead of this kind of misery.With that, she buried her face in her pillow and wept quietly.
There was a light tap on her door.
"Rinoa, can I come in?" Selphie called from the other side of the door. Rinoa stood up and grabbed a handful of tissue paper from her closet and wiped her tear-streaked eyes. She opened the door and let her friend inside.
Selphie immediately noticed her puffy eyes. "Rinoa, what happened?" she asked.
"It's nothing Selphie. I just feel tired." She replied.
"Oh?" Selphie won't believe her. "But you shouldn't. They'll be announcing those who passed." Selphie said.
"It's no use." She said weakly, thinking how much effort she had spend in order to be a SeeD.
"So? Nobody says you're already eliminated since you didn't make it in time. Should you not feel excited instead of moping around in here? You're just making yourself miserable, you know?"
Rinoa didn't answer.
"Okay. I'll just wait for you in 2f corridor but be very quick," Selphie reminded her before rushing outside.
Rinoa composed her thoughts and finally decided to follow Selphie upstairs.
"Selphie got a point," she said out loud. "Nobody says I'm already eliminated."
She went outside and used the elevator to reach the second floor.
