Riona woke up in the nurses office. Her head hurt even though the rest of her body really broke her fall. Her arms and legs hurt too. She noticed something of a cast on her left arm. "So, you are awake. Who knew falling from that high could get your wrist fractured. Now don't panic, fractured isn't broken, that tiny cast will be off in a week and a half tops," the nurse told her. Riona sat up and the room whirled around. She couldn't remember anything. She tried to think hardly. For some reason she saw Squall's face in her mind and then everything came back to her. She fell from the rope. Right after Squall and Seifer were fighting. Riona looked around the room, no other patients, Squall got off safe. "Am I allowed to leave?" Riona asked. "Well I supposed so, but come back if you have the slightest problem, classes are already over and you can miss tomorrow!" The nurse explained. Riona went back to her room and collapsed on her bed. Selphie and Irvine we engulfed in TV. Seifer walked into the room lazily eating a candy bar. "So I suppose Squall told you," Seifer said. "Told me what?" Riona perked up. "He didn't tell you? Now that was something incredibly smart I didn't expect," "Tell me what!" Riona complained. "Not even Tilmitt told you?!" "TELL ME WHAT?!" Riona squealed. "Oh. . nothing," Riona rolled her eyes. And decided to go do something. She made her way down to the game room where Quistis was shooting pool with herself. "Riona!" she waved, "How are you? that was an awful fall!" "I'm okay, Quistis, what hasn't Squall told me?" Riona asked hopefully. "I have no idea why don't you ask him," "because you all know too!" Riona said unhappily. "Well whatever it is that little dimwit didn't let me in on it," "I thought you liked Squall?" "I do, and that's exactly why I'm upset he didn't tell me," Riona left. What was Squalls room number? Oh yeah he is in the same dorm as Quistis so that means he is in 67. Riona came to the door and put her hand up to knock when a person appeared. "Hello is Squall there?" "NEGATIVE" "Do you know where he went?" "NEGATIVE," "Can I come in and wait?" "NO, LEAVE," Said she. Riona sighed and turned around. "WAIT" "What is it?" "SEIFER," "What about him?" "DORM, YOU," "Um..yes I share a dorm with him," "BYE" Riona gave her an odd look and turned around bumping into Squall. Squall looked astonished. He immediately asked her inside and if she was okay. Riona bugged him by asking what he was hiding from her. Squall said that Seifer was just playing mind games with her. But Riona insisted to ask. "THAT'S NOT IT SQUALL! And you know it don't you? What are you keeping from me! Is it something about me? If I don't get it out of you I'll get it out of Selphie!" "No you won't," Squall said simply. "SQUALL! Tell me! Ohmygod it has something to do with today at gym, when you were fighting with Seifer!" Riona said remembering, "Squall tell me! PLEASE! I have a right to know if I'm going to be hanging around you," "can't" "DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK IN SENTANCES? TELL ME! SQUALL! WHAT IS" Riona was cut off by Squalls kiss.
What was he doing? He just kissed her! Squall didn't even like her that way. No it was just one of those sper of the moment things, to shut her up plus he was happy she was okay. Uh oh wha t is she going to think about it. Wait why did he care? Oh yeah she was his friend, nothing more. Wait why did he add nothing more, he wasn't considering, nah couldn't be and yet she was so beautiful he almost craved her. .Wait.NO! Okay okay I must admit the truth to myself. I like Riona.
Riona stood and stared awe struck. Squall just kissed her! "I-uh-what was that?" Squall cleared his throat, "uh.I," Riona tapped her foot. "nothing," "Oh what, so I'm nothing? You just felt the need to kiss me to, what, shut me up, get me so dazed that I would stop bugging you and serve you like a god? Confuse the hell out of me? Make me feel unimportant? Make me heart broken? Well let me tell you Leonheart you sure did some of those things! You shut me up momentarily, but I am not going to be dazed over you! You confused the hell out of me, made me feel unimportant, and guess what Leonheart I'll admit it you even made me heartbroken but now I see what good of an idea it was to like you!" Riona stomped off and slammed the door. She walked into the cafeteria. A boy came up to her with two glasses of water and threw it in her face and in her hair soaking her. Then he stomped away. A few people chuckled. What the heck? Riona ran up to him. "What was that for?" Riona asked. "Oh I supposed you don't know?!" "Um if I knew I wouldn't be asking!" "You sent me a note saying you liked me and knew I liked you too so we should meet somewhere and then you stood me up!" "What are you talking about? I don't even know your name!" Riona yelled. The boy threw more water on her. Riona spied Greg the kid who made up the bogus story about the lunch room, chuckle. SEIFER! Riona pulled the boy over to the table that Greg was at. He was a small kid and a year younger than everyone else, because he skipped up a grade. Riona pushed him up against a wall. "What did you do?" If it wasn't for her arm he wouldn't have been able to push her back but he did. The boy who liked her stepped in front of her. He was sort of small, about a 3rd inch taller than Riona, but that was short for a guy .He had muscles he was the smallest one on the football team and he got knocked down a lot but he was a fast runner. Greg happened to be the right size for him to push Greg around easy. "Stop! What did you do?" The boy said with his deepest voice. "I didn't," "WHAT DID SEIFER DO?" Riona said and she gave him a kick. "H-he," Greg studdered, "He s-sent the note because you r-ratted him out f- for Leonheart," the boy said sliding down the wall. Riona turned to the boy. "I'm really sorry," she said and then walked over to a table. The guy went to a different table. Riona bought some chocolate and thought about Squall. Why did he kiss me and then act like nothing happened. Like it was just something to make me shut up and then get me to go away. Almost like he knew I liked him and that was the perfect thing to do to me. Seifer was he really the nice one? Was she blinded by love? Was this what Seifer was talking about or was Seifer threatening her. A tear ran down Riona's face and she hoped it would be hidden behind all the water that was thrown on her. She was still very wet.
