Nida's Journal and/or diary
(chapter/part 6-WHAT?!)
7.00 am. In cafeteria. Looking for Quistis and possibly the disgruntled Xu, but can't. Just sat down and ate hash browns by self when heard Trepies talking with each other.
Trepie #1: Where's Instructor Trepe keeping herself lately? I haven't seen her in a while...
Trepie #2: I heard she's comforting her best friend. You know, that secretary chick? (man those Trepies are some spies!)
Trepie #3: Really? What's with her?
Trepie #2: Nobody knows really. She even won't tell it to her other best friend... er... what's-his-name... (hmph.)
Trepie #1: Never mind him. I just wanna talk to Instructor again...
Trepie #3: Isn't she noble? She really knows how to take care of her friends........
Trepie #2: Blablablablablablablablablbabla?
Trepie #1: Blablabla! Blablablablabberblabbertyblabla.....
Hmmm..... Have now got a clue about Xu... But if those Trepies don't even know it, it's something big.
7.05 Why won't they tell me? Why?
7.06 Will figure out later. Just have choked on waffles. cough.
10.00 am. In the rehearsal room. Calmly listening to bandmates as they fuss about the first song. (right. calmly.)
Squall: Whaddya mean, we still have no songs?! It's been a week now!
Seifer: Well don't look at me; I don't know how to write music...
Zell: Uh... I have a song I wrote by myself, but I don't know if it's worth it...
Squall and Seifer: ....great.
Me: Er... a song's a song, I guess. Let's hear it first.
Zell: Alright... You asked for it...
(He then did a wild intro consisting of fast consecutive strumming.)
Zell: At first I was afraid!
To eat a Pizza Pie!
Kept thinking, "This is not a good!
This is a Pizza Pie!"
And I spent O so many nights just eating my hotdogs and fries
And I grew strong!
Just eating my hot dogs and fries!
There was a box!
From outer space!
I saw it, then I grabbed this weirdo box from outer space!
I opened it and then I saw
A pizza pie that's extra large
I tasted it, consumed it within 5 seconds like peanuts!
And now---------owch!
(before he could get to the refrain, a drumstick went flying into the air and hit him on the side of the head.)
Seifer (who apparently threw the drumstick): That's the stupidest song ever, Chicken Wuss!
Squall: I don't know. It was kinda catchy!
Everyone: (Stares at Squall)
Squall: What?
Seifer: Anyway, how are we gonna win this thing if we don't even have a few decent songs?
Zell: (still rubbing side of head) If you didn't like my song, just tell me, okay?!
Squall: (turning serious again) Seriously, how are we gonna win this thing without songs?
Me: (who is silent for quite a while) Er... why don't we just play some songs that are already made?
Seifer: Huh? ..... Enlighten us.
Zell: Wha?
Squall: (rolls eyes) Explain...
Me: I read the rules, and it says that there's really no need to compose new songs. We can just play the songs of the-----I don't know---- Linkin Park, or the Gorillaz, or something.....
Squall: Great. We wasted a whole week fussing about composing when we could just do that....
10.34 am. Now, they're fighting over who's gonna be the lead vocalist. Humph. So much for practicing...
Zell: I should be the lead vocals! I can sing pretty good!
Seifer: Oh, please. I'm still deaf from that &*!@%$# pizza song...
Zell: If your gonna whine about it, why don't you sing?
Seifer: How am I gonna sing, doofus? I'm the drummer, genius!
Zell: Well then who's gonna sing?
Squall:.............. how about Nida?
Me: Nuh-uh......
Seifer: Yeah, I wouldn't wanna have a deadhead for our lead singer...
Zell: Waitaminute.... How about Squall?
Squall: (with eyes wide open) NOOOO!!!!! NEVAH!!! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!!
Seifer: (with evil smirk) Oh, yes we can... Heheheh.... (grabs cellphone outta nowhere)
10.36 Apparently, Seifer used his cellphone to call Rinoa. A minute after Seifer called, she suddenly appeared in the rehearsal room.
Rinoa: Squall? You're gonna be their lead singer, right? (in a singsong voice so sickeningly sweet)
Squall: (eye twitching) B-b-but Rinoa.........
Rinoa: (in an even more sickeningly sweet voice) Squall?..........
Squall: Awwww maaaannnnnnn.......
Rinoa: So you're gonna do it?
Squall: No!
Rinoa: Pwetty Pweeaaassee?
Squall: Ergh....
Rinoa: Withcherryontopandsugaronitandvanillaicecreamandchocolatesyrupandhoneyglazed onuts?
Squall: (mutters) Oh, all right....
Rinoa: Yessss! My job here is done... Well, good luck, guys! I'll be rootin for ya!
Zell: OK, bye Rinoa!
Seifer: (smirking a sweet-revenge type smirk) Yeah, thanks Rinoa!
Squall: I don't believe this.......
3.00 pm. Walking down the halls of Garden and saw Quistis hugging Ellone and saying, "Oh I'm so happy for you!" Then they saw me. But then I noticed Ellone was......with some other guy! They all walked towards me.
"Hi Nida! Guess what?" Quistis asked me.
"No, let me tell him, Quisty..." Ellone said.
"Hi, guys... what's going on?" I said.
"Okay.... First of all, Nida, meet William. He's my fiance' from Winhill." Fiance'?! Owch! That fell like a ton of bricks...
"Hi, Nida!" William greeted me with a steely grin, and offered his hand.
I shook it. "Hello, William!" I tried my best to look glad, or at least normal.
Ellone smiled wider. "Good! You know, I've been trying to find you since this morning!"
"Why?"
Ellone and Quistis looked at each other.
"Well, coz this is big news... We're getting married!"
WWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTT????!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
"Yeah, next month! Isn't it great?"
"Yeah, I'm happy for you..." Aw, man.... So this is what it is like to have loved and lost....
I heard them talk with each other more, then I heard William say, "Bye!" and he and Ellone walked off. So now it's just Quistis and me.
Quistis suddenly turned serious. "Hey, Nida... Have you seen Xu?"
"Xu? No, I haven't seen her all week... Why?"
"Oh, it's nothing..."
I looked at her. "Please, Quistis! Tell me what's with her lately!"
She looked troubled. "U-um... Sorry, Nida.... I promised her not to t-tell anyone..."
That really took the cake. "Man!" I said, before storming away.
12.05 am. Moped around in dorm since I left Quistis in the halls. Why is life this hard? I know I may be over reacting, but thing happened so fast.
12.06 Decided to just think in Secret Area. Not many people there this late at night, coz now they ask for special passes to go in there past curfew. Good thing I drive this Garden; special privelege.
12.10 Did not care about stupid grats anymore; just trudged my way into the secret area and miraculously didn't encounter anything.
I saw a woman in there, all by herself, smoking. She looked pretty familiar... she then heard me, and turned around.
It was Xu.
"Nida, what are you doing here?" She said groggily before she took another whiff of smoke.
"No, the question is, what are you doing here, Xu? And you're smoking!"
She sighed, and crushed her cigarette with her foot. "I was just thinking..."
Then I took the opportunity to ask her about her. "Xu, I've noticed a lot of changes in you lately... what's wrong with you? Quistis woudn't tell me... But i wanna help you out, too..."
She suddenly froze, and stared at me. "You wanna know what the frickin' hell's wrong with me?"
She came closer, and then suddenly shouted at me. "YOU WANNA KNOW? DO YA? WELL, I'LL TELL YA!"
she took a deep breath, and started again. "First, my mother tells me to stop bugging her and get my own life! Then, I found out that she and my dad are gonna have a divorce! Then, my brother runs away from home, and now I'm probably gonna get fired coz i'm not doing anything right lately! And you ask me what the hell's wrong with me?"
I was shocked. Had no idea she was so troubled like that. And I was always whining about being a nobody...
Before I could say anything, she suddenly collapsed.
"Xu?!" I caught her before she fell to the ground.
Then I saw a couple enter the secret area. It was Rinoa and Squall.
"Nida, what's going on here?" Squall looked at me, then at Xu.
"She fainted. I have to get her to the infirmary..."
Rinoa stepped closer. "The infirmary's closed now... but I'll revive her..." She cast a spell on her. Then, Xu awoke.
"Wha... where am I?"
"You ought to take her to her dorm room, Nida..." Squall helped her up.
"N-no, I can take care of myself..."
"No you can't," Rinoa added. "We'll feel better if Nida went with you."
"A-all right."
12.25 Took Xu to her dorm room. Was still in state of shock on the happenings that happened. Really, really tired, but Xu needed help.
"Thanks, Nida. Thanks for even listening to me..."
"That's alright, Xu; Hey we're friends after all, right?"
She nodded, then opened her door. But then she faced me, then buried her face into my shoulder, and cried out loud.
"Sniffle.... Life's not fair, Nida! Why did my parents have to fight? Why did Xavier have to run away? Why can't I do anything? Why? Why? Why?" She kept ranting and ranting about. Man. She really was stressed.
Think, Nida, think! What will I say to her? I just burst out some ramblings of my own.
"N-now, don't worry, Xu..." I stammered as I patted her back. "Everything will be better in the morning... Just promise me you'll rest, okay?" That sounded good... i think.
She nodded, and walked in her dorm. I can still hear her sniffling as I walked into my own dorm.

usual end-of-the-chapter author's notes: (crawling from under a rock) I LIVE!!!!!!
Oh, no... I just know you people are gonna give me a piece of your mind for not making nida end up with ellone! but i want to make this more dramatic, soooo.....
By the way, Zell's pizza pie outburst don't belong to me, all right?
Also, the songs in the last chapter songs don't also belong to me. (duh...)
Man, my arms are tired.... review this, mah friends, and i'll think of the next chapter...
