Chapter 10 – The Party

(Back to Rinoa's Point of View)
I awoke from some pull of my hair. I opened my eyes and looked to the side finding Squall sitting in a chair next to the bed fiddling with my hair. "Aham" I coughed. Squall came to reality.
"Oh sorry!" Squall said popping up out of the chair letting my hair go. "Uhh... smooth hair" Squall said looking away in embarrassment. I though it was cute.
"Thank you." I said smiling and bringing my self in a sitting position on the bed. "Sorry I fell asleep all of a sudden here. I didn't mean to."
"It's alright" Squall responded still not looking at me.
"Well I guess I should go change into something nice for the party" I told Squall getting up from his bed and walking out.
"......" Squall was silent. I guess he really is embarrassed of fiddling with my hair.
I entered my room and got washed up. I changed into a black tank top, black skirt with some slits like a knife cut through it and hanging down from the side was a chain and a thin black no sleeves jacket that reached my knees. I left my hair down and added mascara. I put on my favorite black timberlands and grabbed my mysterious mask. I got out of my room all ready for the party and Squall was there waiting for me.
"So should we go?" Squall asked me smiling.
"You're going to carry a gunblade?" I asked him curiously.
"Oh! Umm... it's an accessory. It's a Halloween party. You have your mask and I have a killing weapon."
"Ok? Let's go"
We walked out of the Students Dormitory Section and found the place to be empty and the lights dimmed. There were only two kids walking around.
"Wow! Is it always this empty during holidays?" I asked.
"Not really. There's probably another party somewhere else and it must have got all around the Garden"
"Hope the party won't be like this."
We went to the Quad and found hardly anyone there. The lights were turned off and candles were lit. It was way creepy in the dark but I'm not scared. Really I'm not. Everyone was quite and hanging out in couples. Just chatting, some were making out. You could say only 10 people were here.
"What a dead party" I told Squall.
"Goes with the holiday doesn't it?" Squall said. Selphie came from a corner to us holding a beer in her hand. She dressed casual in baggy sweatpants and a nice tight top. Nothing bright.
"Hey, you came!" Selphie yelled and hiccupped.
"Are you drunk?" I asked. She hiccupped again and was about to fall on the floor when Irvine came out catching her. Irvine didn't wear his cowboy getup. Just jeans and a white tee but he surly didn't forget his cowboy hat.
"Yeah she is" Irvine said holding Selphie to stand.
"Where is everyone?" Squall asked.
"There was a party somewhere else and pretty much everyone went. Including Headmaster and the Instructors. Well accept for Quistis."
"Have you been working out?" Selphie said feeling Irvine's muscles.
"Give me that" Irvine said taking Selphie's beer bottle away from her.
"No! You big meany poo!" Selphie said banging her hands lightly on Irvine's chest.
"I'll be back just want to put her in a seat" Irvine said leading Selphie.
"Whoa can you believe it?!" I said and turned around to face Squall and found a beer bottle in his hand too. He looked at me with a guilty face and threw the bottle over his shoulder and smiled.
"All gone!" He said.
I rolled my eyes at him and grabbed his hand leading him around the place to look for someone to talk to. When we suddenly heard a girl scream! I turned around and looked at Squall with a worried face.
"Don't look at me I didn't do it! ......Rinoa, don't worry... it's probably just someone trying to make this party more frightening."
I reassured myself with those words and continued walking around. Well if I could. I didn't know what I was stepping in that made my boots all squeaky. So I stopped walking. Squall bumped into me.
"...sorry" He said. I bent down to the floor and ran my finger across the floor. I found my finger to be red. I stood up and showed Squall. "Smells like fresh blood"
"It's just cherry juice right?" I asked Squall not showing him that I'm terrified.
"Yeah" Squall said with sarcasm. I knew he was trying to frighten me.
"FYI I'm not scared so you can cut the crap." I said with anger in my voice and turned around. "AHHHHH!!!!!" I yelled and took deep breaths. The person took off their mask. It was Quistis.
"hehe... scared?" Quistis said with a mischievous look on her face.
"Quistis she's frightened enough put your mask back on" Squall said and I giggled in relief. Quistis gave a disgusted look on her face at what Squall said and she turned walking away.
"Not scared?" Squall asked.
"Maybe a bit" I replied gripping on Squall's hand. Irvine came up to us again. Selphie was following behind him. Selphie put her finger to her mouth telling us to be quite and keep it a secret that she was behind him.
"Selphie is behind me isn't she?" Irvine said and I nodded my head. He turned around to Selphie. "I though I told you to stay. You need to sit for a while. You'll get dizzy!"
"You silly puppy!" Selphie said giving him a hug. Irvine turned back around to us with Selphie holding his waist.
"So I heard you scream" Irvine said.
"No! I wasn't screaming... it's just... I'm angry my shoes are covered in this... juice" I told Irvine trying to make him look stupid for saying that.
