The girl felt dizzy and she rubbed her forehead. Opening her eyes, she looked around. Where am I? She shot her eye in every direction. She was in a room, lying on a bed. She didn't see anyone in the room. The only thing that she saw was a small cutter (blade) on the tiled floor. Oh no. have they found me? A tear dropped from her eye and she picked up the blade and looked at it in a worried way. Her heart pounded in her chest. Then it's best if I end my life here. She opened the blade and put it on her wrist. Suddenly, someone caught hold of her hands and took the blade away. Looking up, she took some time to adjust the light and she saw a handsome boy looking down at her. Her eyes widened and she quickly took her eyes off his gray-blue eyes. Is that.? "Hey, what are you doing?" He said, putting the blade away. Putting it away from her. The girl only pondered and kept her eyes away from him. Silence met its statement. Uh. "Rinoa. Are you okay? Why were you out there?" he said, sitting on the bed next to her. The girl turned her head, shocked. "Excuse me?" Rinoa? His facial expression looked puzzled. "Huh? Aren't you Rinoa?" The girl turned her head away, looking panic. "Um. no." oh no.what if he finds out? Think! "M-my name is. uh. Alex! Yeah! Uh.my name is Alex and I come from. uh. Dollet. He.he." she sputtered, ending with a nervous laugh. She wanted to cover up the lie but she failed. Miserably. Oh.boy. The boy looked uneasy but didn't want to intrude whatever she's going through. "My name is Squall Leonhart. this is Balamb Garden. I brought you here because you were outside in that storm." Squall tilted his head to examine her face. Feeling uneasy, she said. "Is there something on my face?" "Uh. no but you look like a friend of mine. You sure you don't know her? Coz you look like her twin. Her name is Rinoa Heartilly." Her name made her eyes widen even more but she still shook her head and said no. His eyebrows arched back, he smiled at her and said goodnight. She replied his wish and she turned over in bed as he flicked off the switch. "Make sure you take a good rest." He said before closing the door and he went into the other room. What is she trying to hide? She looks exactly like Rinoa; her voice is like Rinoa. even dresses like one. What is going on here? Squall got into bed and closed the light, thinking of it no more till the next day.

In the other room, 'Alex' trailed her eyes out the window to see blizzard die and the pale moon rising into the heavens. It's moonlight painted her face a marble-white. The moonlight made her tear sparkle like a gem that's sitting on top of her cheek. But a smile spread across her lips. I found him.

The next day, Squall came down late to meet Zell and Selphie. They were seen sitting at the fountain opposite the cafeteria. "You guys, sorry I'm late. I." Squall said. "Yo, Squall!" Zell cut him off. He jumped off. "Where have ya been, man? We were looking for you at the library last night but Tom said you went out suddenly." He narrowed his eyes. "Are you okay?" Squall nodded. "Yeah. It was. uh. I suddenly felt dizzy. So I went up to the dorm." Selphie smiled and giggled. "Well, duh! Who wouldn't be dizzy if they were to sit and study non-stop for five hours?" Everyone laughed in unison. But sometimes Zell and Selphie were giggling about something as they eyed Squall evily. When the laughter died, Zell exclaimed loudly. "Let's eat!" and they trailed him to the cafeteria. "Oh, and Squall?" "What?" "The test is postponed. It'll be next month." Zell said, grinning. He eyed Selphie and laughed "WHAT?" Oh.MAN! All that studying for nothing!

Alex sat on the bed, her head deep in the sea of thought. I've found him. but what if they try to look for me? I'm sure Aldagio will notice that I'm gone. She strained her head and she buried her face in her hands. Then there was a knock on the door. She looked up to see Squall. "Oh.hi." She said. "Hi." he said. There was complete silence except for students making noise in the other dorms Squall scratched the back of his head, thinking of a way to start a conversation. And maybe I could shed a light on this weird situation. "Uh.Alex. You said you're from Dollet, right?" She nodded, starring at the floor. "How did you get here? I mean, there are no ships or trains coming here until next week." He asked. "Uh.I ran away before all that." "Ran away?" Alex looked at him and nodded furiously. "Mhm. I. uh. ran away because my. uh. landlady was abusing me and I.emm.. had no money to pay for the rent." She said. "So I ran away." Squall nodded but he secretly knew she was fibbing. But if he told her, it'll make matters worse. "Okay. Um, thanks." Alex smiled a bit and Squall went to his room.

Still not telling me. who is she?

Alex pondered at the door where Squall used to stand. Sighing, she looked at the snowflakes that mounted onto the windowpane. I'm sorry I had to lie.Squall. I can't tell you about my secret. I can't tell you about my origin. Because if I told you. You'll never believe me. But if you did, you won't accept me. I'm sorry.

So, how was it? ^^ I know, I know. it's a bit confusing. let me put it bluntly. She's not telling Squall a secret. Get me? Okay? Let's adjourn to the next chapter, shall we?
