Zell's Heart Part Two
By: Brandon Logan
Ooh! Read on.
Zell was stiff. He wasn't sure what the sound was anymore. He was still prepared for the worst as Selphie calmly walked to the door and placed her ear on it. The sound wasn't coming from the door. Zell then realized what it was an burst out in laughter.
"What's so funny?" Selphie scowled as she placed her hands on her hips.
"I-it." Zell was rolling on the floor. He couldn't help but crying as he was seen cachinnating on the floor. "I can't believe I got so worked up over that!"
"What is it?" Selphie walked over and kicked him, not as hard though.
After a few minutes, Zell finally got the words.
"Ok, you see how It's only seven in the evening right, and your dorm is right next to the cafeteria? Remember how they said they were r-r- renovating tonight!" Zell then burst into another fit of laughter. Finally calculating this in her head she got the joke and she was also sprawled out convulsing on the floor along with Zell, generating enough laughter to power the whole garden for a week. She was practically crying as she rolled across the floor. She had finally gathered herself, but was still snickering when she found out she had rolled on top of Zell, who hadn't minded.
"Oops, sorry." Selphie blushed and stood up.
"It's alright." Selphie helped him up. "Why hadn't he kissed me? I was hoping he would."
"What?" Zell was already in bed. Inside Selphie was desperately hoping he didn't hear her. She wasn't supposed to say that out loud. What was she thinking?
The night pressed onward, and Selphie was already asleep, nestled comfortably against his chest. He had still been awake thinking of what he did.
"I should have kissed her. I don't know why I didn't. Maybe she was the one who has to kiss me? I don't know?" He wrapped his arm around the sleeping girl and pulled her close. Her slight grunt gave him cue that she was comfortable. He was actually quite comfortable sleeping with her. He spent another hour stroking her sort brunette hair.
"It must be the shampoo that makes it feel so soft and silky." He commented on himself, which gave him a slight snicker. "I wish this night wouldn't end." Zell studied her neat, no flawless room. She always kept her things neat and organized. Unlike Zell, whose room is also known as the garden's dump. He could barely find anything in his dorm room. Squall even had the nerve to take the time to draw a cross section of the room with layers.

"Ok the surface of the pile, which is the top, contains all the new and necessary items for his survival." Squall joked causing uproar at the table.

"He He, Very Funny." Zell could feel the girl's heartbeat against his chest. The erythematic beat of her heart soothed his soul. He still has memories of when he used to have a little crush on her when they both lived in the orphanage together.
"Little Seffie! That's what I called her, yea; she always wanted to play tag with me. I also remember that night down by the river where we shot some fireworks together. Ah, a night to remember." Zell spent most of the night reminiscing about memories shared with her. Memories spent until, Irvine came along.
"I didn't find it fair that my first love was swept away with a ladies man such as Irvine." Zell recollected. Zell's heartbeat raced as she started tossing around on him.
"Oh yeah, she moves around in her sleep. Oh No. Time for a rough night Zell."
She finally found a cozy spot right on top of him. He didn't mind as he draped her in his arms. His eyelids finally decided to give in. So he rested his eyes, and fell fast asleep.
In his subconscious, Zell was awake. He knew it was morning, because of the birds. The lightweight on top of him proved that Selphie was still there in is embrace. The only thing that bothered him besides the birds was his pounding headache. He didn't want to get up for some aspirin, because he wanted to stay with Selphie, plus it would wake her up if he moved. He was able to see more of her room in the daylight. He sort of mortified when he noticed her bed was lined with stuffed animals. He really didn't take that into account, it's probably because he was so lost in himself because of Selphie.
Selphie was wide awake, but she wanted to be in his embrace a little longer. She needed to tell him how she felt. She decided once he woke up she would tell him really fast, and hope for the best.
"Hey Selphie you awake?" Zell sat up but kept her in his embrace the whole time.
"Zell there's something I have to tell you." She spoke so low he couldn't understand a word she said.
"You feel like you have to smell me?" Zell tilted his head, confounded of what she just said.
"No it's just that.IloveyouZell." She said it so quick and soft that it confused him even more.
"Excuse me, what about a bell?" He looked over at the clock and realized the breakfast bell was going to ring any second.
"Oh Selphie, thanks for reminding me. You're such a sweetheart." He kissed her on the forehead and made his way to the medicine cabinet and grabbed a bottle of aspirin before slipping on some clothes and running off.
"You want anything from the cafeteria?" He poked his head back in.
"No thanks Zelly." She felt like she failed miserably, but she kept herself in high spirits.
"Cool, you still wanna join me though?" Zell was hoping up and down like a bunny from anticipation for running down the cafeteria and being first in line.
"Yeah, but I'm going to get ready. I'll be down there I five." She looked down towards the bed and clenched her fists. "Why couldn't I have spoken louder?" Regret flooded her like a flash flood, and it didn't feel good.
Zell ran down the hallway towards the cafeteria corridor.
"Look at this big line! Ah, they might be out of hotdogs by the time I get to the counter!" Zell regretted staying back and asking her, but inside he knew it was right since they were friends, he thought it rude if he would just run out without offering her anything.
Selphie sat on her bed for awhile, trying to recollect what she just
failed to do. "How am I ever going to tell Zell?" She sighed.
Meanwhile in the cafeteria:
"How am I ever going to tell Selphie?" He sighed.
