As they approached the front gate Quistis turned to Squall and said, "Now you will be ordered for your SeeD test. There is no need to be nervous, I know you can do it. Believe in yourself Squall and you can do anything your heart desires."
As Quistis left Squall thought about the SeeD test. He held his chain (Griever, a lion and sword chain that Squall wears around his neck for good luck.) As he let go of the chain a young girl ran into him.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" the young girl, embarrassed, said.
As Squall helped her up he said it was alright. He asked her if she was ok and she shook her head yes and replied with a thank you.
She turned around and started to walk away, but then she turned around and replied, "Pardon my rudeness, I forgot to tell you my name, I'm Selphie Tilmitt, I'm a new student here. (Selphie, 17, is a spunky young woman with a carefree spirit. She has an innocent appearance and a light-hearted personality. Her happy go lucky disposition and laid-back attitude tend to catch others guard.)
"My name is Squall Leonhart, um, I was just on my way to the main hall for the orders from Cid for the SeeD test." Squall replied while looking at the gate.
"Oh! You're going to take the test too!? How cool! Maybe I will see you then? Well I better get going! Nice meeting you!" she exclaimed while heading off through the gate.
Squall shook his head and began to walk through the front gate. He suddenly stopped then realized that from now on everything would be different.
