Author's Notes: OK this is an AU fic. Balamb is a high school. There aren't
SeeDs or anything like that. So these are your normal every day high school
kids with a little bit of drama in their lives. Well here's chapter one. We
get things rolling a little bit here.
~Chapter One~ ~One Dream Shattered, Another Dream Come True. ~
It was lunch break ant Balamb Garden and Squall was staring at the object of his affection, Rinoa Heartilly. Almost every one kind of figured Squall had a thing for her, but no one knew for sure except Zell Dincht. While Squall was staring he was fantasizing about her being his princess and him being his knight in shining armor. His best friend Zell quickly and rudely interrupted him from his thoughts.
Zell was a VERY loud guy. He was always hyper and very talkative. Sometimes it took Squall forever just to get him to shut up. It was ironic, how two totally different people such as Squall and Zell could get along, let alone be best friends. Everyone soon got to accept that and decided to stop wondering about their strange friendship.
Zell sat across from Zell ranting on and on about he finally got a hot dog. "Dude it's about time I get one of these," Zell began. "While you're fantasizing about Rinoa lover boy, I'm dreaming about something more practical.MY HOT DOGS! Dude these things are so-" He was cut short when a girl tripped and bumped into their table causing Zell's tray and his beloved hot dog, to fall down to the dirty floor.
Zell was speechless.at first. He could hardly believe his eyes. It was the last hot dog. It wasn't even just a hot dog, it was his dream that had finally come true, but had quickly been shattered and turned into a nightmare.
Squall had to hold himself back from laughing. He didn't think Zell would really take this little "disaster" seriously. And Zell surely wouldn't do anything to hurt the girl physically or emotionally, but Squall was in for a surprise.
Zell turned beat red. He was fuming. Squall could have sworn he saw steam coming out of his ears. Or it could have been his overdue of gel in his hair, Squall thought. He chuckled to himself. "WHY YOU LITTLE.." That's it, Squall thought. Take cover cause this is going to be bad.
Zell had gone completely mad. He was screaming his head off. "YOU IDIOT DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU"VE DONE?!?!?" Zell was clearly scaring the crap out of this girl. "I'm so sorry," was all she could manage to say before Zell went off on her and was about to have another one of his little episodes.
"Sorry isn't enough sister! You ruined my hot dog, my day, and my dream, hell you ruined my life! You've really done it this time Selphie! It's time some one teaches you some manners and it's time you also learn how to walk straight!" Zell was being real harsh with her. Selphie was sorry and she felt really bad. Wasn't that enough?
Selphie began to sob, "I didn't mean to ruin your hot dog or anything! It was an accident you big meanie!"
Squall meanwhile had enough of this. He knew Zell had a right to be angry, but to make Selphie, only the most energetic and happy people in the school to cry over a hot dog? That was going way to far. Squall nearly exploded.
"Zell, will you just shut the hell up?!?!"
The whole lunchroom went silent.
"Friggin hell."
Zell was cut short by Squall facing him and backing him in a corner. Squall found himself hovering over Zell, and grabbing him the collar of his jacket.
"The girl said she was sorry. I'm sick of you acting like a god damn baby! I'm just sick of it. It's just a damn hot dog."
"But." Zell stopped himself from continuing his sentence when Squall tightened his grip on Zell's jacket.
"There's no excuse. You made a girl cry over a damn hot dog. I mean what the hell? You stupid mother-"
Squall was cu short when Zell paled and muttered to Squall, "You don't want to finish that sentence." Squall realized that Rinoa was right behind them trying to comfort Selphie, her best friend.
"Oh great," Squall thought. " I blew it. Rinoa was right behind me when I exploded. Damnitt! Now she's going to think I'm just another coldhearted jerk. I don't blame her. I mean after all I did kind of over react, and especially saying those things to my best friend. That's not going to go towards my favor. But.I did no wrong. I was defending Selphie. Agh, look at me. I'm talking to myself again. Jerk..."
Rinoa got Selphie to calm down a bit, and she got Irvine, Selphie's boy friend, to watch her. Rinoa marched right over to Zell. He had a sorry expression on his face, which Rinoa slapped right off.
"Zell, how could you explode like that over a freaking hot dog? My god, could you be anymore shallow?"
Zell didn't know what to say. "I'm really sorry Rinoa." Rinoa just sighed. "It's not me you should be apologizing too Zell, it's her" Rinoa gestured towards Selphie.
Meanwhile Squall was standing in the corner and he was feeling really embarrassed. He was hoping that Rinoa would just forget about him, and leave him alone. All hope was lost though when Rinoa started to approach him.
"Oh god.what do I say? I have to be smoothe. Oh shit, what am I saying? I'm gonna blow it and look like a fool."
"Umm, Squall?" Squall was immediately interrupted from his thoughts. He was caught off guard and he stared at her blankly.
"Thanks for defending Selphie." Squall wasn't expecting her to say that, not that he was complaining. He decided to hear what she had to say and welcome it with open arms. Rinoa continued to speak. "Zell got a little carried away, and it's good to see that you got him in check," she giggled. Squall tried to hide his face when he blushed. Rinoa smirked at his gesture.
Squall cleared his throat. "So, umm you're not mad at me for, you know kind of going berserk?" Rinoa couldn't help but laugh a little at what Squall said. "Why would I be mad at you? It's not like I'm your mother. Rinoa covered her mouth realizing what she just had said. She felt so stupid. She knew Squall had n parents and was an orphan. "Oh great, me and my big stupid mouth."
"Squall I'm sorry.I didn't realize what I was saying." Rinoa felt terrible. Squall felt awkward and h wanted to tell Rinoa that he took no offense, but he was lost for words and didn't know what to say.
"Rinoa it's ok. You didn't mean it." Squall spoke softly and gently put one hand on her shoulder and using his other hand he grabbed her chin and delicately lifted her face up to him.
Rinoa loved the feeling of Squall toughing her and him and her being this.close. It was like time stopped. "But I- " She was cut short by Squall laughing silently.
"Look Rin, if you feel that bad, there is a way you can make it up to me." Rinoa caught the little mischievous smirk on his face. "Oh he looks so cute when he smiles. Wait, what's come over me? What am I thinking? I've known Squall for years and now all of a sudden I'm getting these feelings.I mean, me and Squall."
Rinoa played along. "What do you have in mind?" she asked playfully. Squall was so excited; he couldn't believe he was going to finally ask Rinoa on a date, every guy in Balamb Garden's dream.
Squall didn't want to get to confident though. " Well umm let me take you to dinner. Only if you're not busy and you don't got other plans. Only if you want to."
Rinoa was ecstatic. She tried to hide all of her excitement. She couldn't believe that Squall wanted to go on a "date" with her. Plus he looked so sincere and cute; there was no way she could resist.
Rinoa grabbed Squall's hand. "I'd love to go out to dinner tonight." Squall was relieved by what he had just heard. He was never so happy. "Pick me up at about...seven?" Wow, I can't believe I'm doing this! Rinoa thought.
"Seven's great. I'll see you then." "Yeah, well Squall I have to head to class before I'm late. You know how Instructor Trepe gets." Squall chuckled at her comment.
Rinoa turned to leave, but turned back around and ran up to Squall and planted a quick kiss on his cheek. "Bye," she whispered softly in his ear. This time she left.
Squall knew that tonight was going to go his way. Everything was going to go perfect. But what he didn't know was that Seifer was watching his every move from a far off table in the corner.
"Squall, don't think you'll be getting to close to Rinoa. cause once I'm through with you, you won't be able too." Seifer had an evil smile on his face. He got up and stormed out of the lunchroom. Seifer was going to have it his way or else.
A/N: There's going to be a lot more of Seifer next chapter. This chapter didn't turn out how I quite expected it too. I was having a little bit or writes block. Well I hope you enjoyed it. Well don't forget to review!
