Part 2-Revenge

Selphie look up, disbelieving. Quistis.taking revenge? I can't let that happen, Selphie thought. Rin's my best friend! And I am letting Quistis just BEAT her up? "Quisty." Selphie began. "You don't have to. . .I mean, maybe Rinoa was just kidding!" Selphie forced a smile onto her face, knowing it was hopeless to fool Quistis. She was probably insane to think that she could; Quistis, with piercing eyes that could scan the classroom in a minute, and detect cheating; Quistis with merely a tap of her finger silence the classroom? Yes, Selphie indeed had to be insane to believe it.

Without a trace of a mere grin, Quistis shook her head. "Selphie, this is enough! Rinoa humiliated you, she broke into your room, and now she stole that locket of yours. Now, Selphie, I know how important that locket is to you. Don't you go pretending you don't care. You can't fool me. Now we are going to get that locket! If she doesn't give it," Quistis sighed heavily, as if a heavy burden was on her. "Then we'll take it by force." To emphasize the point, Quistis smacked her whip against her palm.

Selphie had half a heart to stop Quistis. After all, Rinoa and Selphie were once best friends. Can't they make up again? But looking around her trashed dorm room.Selphie shook her head. Maybe they wouldn't make up. Maybe they couldn't. Or maybe they.shouldn't. Looking up at Quistis, she reluctantly said, "Where can we find Rinoa?"

"Rinoa Heartilly, you open this door right now!" Quistis commanded. Her and Selphie were standing outside Rinoa's room door, knocking the heck out of that door. This must have been the fifth time Quistis knocked, without an answer.

There were mumbles and murmurs inside, so the two girls knew there had to be someone inside. Selphie reddened, knowing it was probably Rinoa and Squall. The last thing she wanted to witness was those two.erm.reproducing.

"Damn you, Rinoa! Open this door!" Quistis screamed. She was about to whip that door when Rinoa, her body wrapped in a robe, opened the door.

"What's wrong with you, Quisty?" Rinoa yawned. "People are trying to sleep ya know!" She waved her arms drowsily around. "The whole hall is quiet except for you!"

Quistis frowned at her, but didn't say anything.

"Look, Quisty, if you have nothing to say, I suggest you leave!" Rinoa eyed Selphie behind Quistis. "I have things to do you know!"

"You mean PEOPLE to do!" Selphie retorted. "How can you just leave Squall like that? We weren't even cheating on you! How can you think that, Rinoa? I was your best friend! I would NEVER do that. You forget I have IRVINE!"

Rinoa scowled at her. "Yeah, WAS my best friend! I know what I see, MIZ TILMITT! I'm not blind you know!"

"Looks like it," Quistis mumbled under her breath. She was going to say that out loud when she saw a figure-walking stark naked-to wrap his arms around Rinoa. "Baby," the figure said. "Can we get back to bed? It's getting cold without you." He nuzzled Rinoa, who giggled.

Quistis gaped at the figure. Not because he was naked, walking around the dorm without a care. It was because he was Seifer.

"SEIFER?!?!" She gasped. "Seifer?!?!?"

Seifer looked up at Quistis, with shocked eyes. "Quisty, darling.how- how-are you doing?" He glanced nervously at Selphie, who was standing there, glaring at Rinoa and him, taking it all in.

Quistis' eyes brimmed with tears. "I'm fine," she choked out. "Just fine!" She hastily used her palm to wipe the tears away. "To find out that my former friend is with my former boyfriend.yeah, I'm absolutely fine!"

Seifer reached for Quistis' arm. "Honey, it's not what it is!"

Quistis froze. "It's not what it is? You tell me what it is, then, Mr. Almasy! Let me guess, Rinoa raped you?" She snatched her arm away, disgusted.

Seifer paused, not knowing how to answer. Shaking his head, he sighed deeply. "Quistis, I'm sorry to hurt you, but-"

"Shut up, Seifer. I don't want any of your crap. You know nothing is the truth. Nothing. Not our relationship, not the gifts-nothing! You leave me alone now. From this moment on, I had never known you as more than a student! You know what? I don't even care!" Quistis took off her engagement ring and tossed it at Seifer. "Hmm, why don't you take this secondhand ring, and give it to your SECONDHAND girlfriend!" She snarled at Rinoa. "Have fun with Seifer, RINOA."
