Chapter Six
It was quite in the headmaster office while the students where in side, nothing could be heard from the out side. There out side the office stood four Instructors. All waiting to see if one certain student passed. Rinoa was sitting on the coach; Selphie was looking out the window, Zell was punching the air and Irvine was setting on Xu's desk with his hat down in front of his eyes. Nobody was talking, nobody wanted to talk but they knew if there didn't talk soon they would get bored. Rinoa looked up from her spot on the floor and asked, "Do you think that he passed? I mean Seifer is capable enough to pass."
Selphie turned and walked over to Irvine and pushed his feet off the desk taking a few bit of paper with them, Selphie then sat on his lap. "I just hope he doesn't."
Zell picked up the papers and placed them on the desk. "I hope he does, after all he is one of us, is an orphan like the rest of us.right?"
"Zell right!" Irvine spook up finally. "Seifer's one of us. He an orphan to. We can't really act upon him differently can we?"
Selphie jumped up. "HAVE you all forgotten what he did? He tried to take over the world with Ultimacia! God am I the only one how remembered!"
Rinoa got up and walked to Selphie saying, "No we have not forgot. It's just that's in the past and we must forgive past mistakes and get on with our live, look to the future!" Rinoa stopped in front of Selphie and placed her hands on her shoulders. "Just give him another chance, come on what do you say?"
Selphie didn't have time to answer as the doors flew open and six students come out with very big smiles on their faces screaming and shouting. "I can't believe it we passed!" "I know. And who would have thought that he passed as well!" "I'm going to call my mom, she going to be so proud of me!" all the students left.
All the Instructors looked back to the door. There stood Seifer Almasy looking at a bit of paper. Behind him was Squall and Quistis talking looking at him. Quistis bowed and walked out closing the door behind her. She looked to the other Instructors and them back to Seifer and smiled, "Congratulation Seifer on passing the exam." All four of the Instructors mouths dropped right to the floor. Quistis and Seifer laughed.
Quistis turned to leave, but before she left Seifer lend down and whispered, "I told you I'm not a Trepie."
Quistis turned around and said in a low voice, "Yes you did. Look I need to ask you something. Come to my room later, okay?"
"Fine with me Instructor." Seifer walked followed to leave the room. "Looks like you guys still got me what ever happens." Seifer laughed and walked out.
After Seifer was out of sight Quistis looked to her friends and laughed at their faces, Squall walked out of his office and locked the door. He turned to see Quistis laughing and his other friends in shock. "I see they know about Seifer then!"
Quistis tried to stop her laughing, "Looks like it." Quistis walked out of the room leaving Squall to deal with their friends.

In side Quistis's room there are photos all over a wall of herself, another girl and a blonde teenage boy. In the photos Quistis is 13. The other girl is the same height and age as Quistis she has long black hair that goes to the bottom of her back and brownish-red eyes and very pale skin. The blonde teenager was Seifer, also 13, before he meet Fujin and Rajin. They looked happy in all the pictures. Quistis walked over to the wall and looked to pictures. In the middle of the wall was a picture of the orphanage. In this picture Quistis and Seifer were holding hands smiling, Seifer was holding a red flower and Quistis was holding a blue one. Quistis smiled thinking back to the day that picture was taken.
Flashback
In the flower fields a cool breeze was blowing, and in the middle of this field sat a boy with tears staining his little face. No one knew he was out here but he knew if his only friend wanted to find him she would go out there first, because that was the place where they said they would stay friends forever. The boy looked up with red-coiled eyes to see his friend running towards him. The boy stood up and turned around so she would not see him cry. The girl hugged him from behind. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to find you." The boy turned around and pushed her away from him. The girl fell to the ground and started crying. "Why you do that? You never hurt me!"
The little boy was getting angry. "Well you hurting me!" he sat down beside his friend and pointed to his tear filled eyes. "You see? I cry coz you hurt me Quisty!"
"But.but how I hurt you?" asked Quisty.
The boy stood back up, "You leave! We promised that we stay together."
Little Quisty got up and hugged the boy again. "But Matron said I have to go. I know it not fair. But." Quisty sat down taking the little boy with her, the boy turned to face her. "I know we will see each other again."
"Fine!" said the boy and picked a light blue flower and gave it to her. "But when we are old, you can be my wife and we have kids, but no like cry- baby Zell.k?"
The girl smiled and took the flower. "K!" Quisty stood up and ran over to another lot of flowers and picked a red one. She ran back to the boy and gave it to him. "Keep this flower, it can remind us of new promise." The boy smiled. "I like it when you smile Seify."
End flashback
Quistis smiled and walked over to the table in the middle of the room. She had always wondered why she always bought the blue flowers and always had a red one in the middle of them. I wonder if he remembers. Oh well it doesn't matter if he doesn't. Hay that a point! What happen to. There as a knock at the door that surprised Quistis. "It's open!" she called. The door opened and Seifer entered with his famous smirk on his face. "What is that smirk for?"
Seifer laughed and sat down, "Well I never thought I would prove you wrong Instructor."
"Well there's a first for everything, and I'm not you Instructor anymore." Quistis sat down and placed an ashtray on the table. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Seifer had a bewildered look on his face. * Since when did she smoke? * Quistis laughed and light one of the cigarettes. "If your wondering I started smoking when I was 16." She got up and opened her window, then sat back down. "You can have one if you want. And don't say you don't smoke because I have court you smoking in the Training Centre with Squall after you finished fighting."
Seifer laughed, lends forward and got a cigarette and lit it. He sat back and looked at the flowers. *Why the hell has she got one red flower in with fuck knows how many blue flower's?* Seifer looked to Quistis who was looking to the photo wall. "Quistis?" Quistis turned to Seifer and smiled. Seifer looked back to the flowers. "Why have you only got one red flower?"
Quistis looked down at the ashtray. Quistis took one last drag of the cigarette and then put it out. "Well it goes back to the orphanage." Seifer and Quistis talked for hours about the orphanage and Quistis told Seifer what the promise was, Seifer just laughed.
Once they had finished talking about the promise it was eight o'clock at night and never noticed. "Hay you think you the only one who's been shot down a few time? Believe it or not but so I have I."
Quistis sat up and looked at him. "Since when has the great-sex-god Seifer Almasy been denied what he wants?"
Seifer laughed and kissed Quistis on the forehead and got up, bring Quistis with him. He took her to the picture wall. He pointed to a photo of Quistis and the black haired girl sitting next to each other in their SeeD uniforms. "Do you remember her?"
Quistis looked, "How could I forget. We were very close friends." Quistis smiled. "Me, you and Crystal. We were always together."
"Yeah well. I thought I was in love with her!" Quistis looked at Seifer. Seifer smiled, I asked her out and she said no."
Quistis looked back at the photo, "I remember." Seifer looked to her in shock, "She said that she said no. She said that she knew that you were in love with some one else."
Quistis looked to Seifer and smiled, "Well I guess she was right." Seifer turned and walked back to the table and sat down. "I could never understand her, she seemed to always know what we were thinking and feeling. It really freaked me out."
Quistis sat down next to Seifer, "What do you think she saw in you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well you said she knew what we were thinking and feeling, so what do you think she saw in you feelings?"
Seifer looked at the flowers and fingered one of them, "Well I don't know, but I did have very small feelings for you back then. Maybe she saw that, I don't know." Seifer looked to the window. "After she felt you became an Instructor and that's when I finally figured out that I did indeed loved you." He chuckled, "I know I'm slow, but Hyne it took me two years to figured things out."
Quistis looked down at the floor, "Tell me, what do you see in me?"
Seifer got up and walked to the window, "I don't know. it's hard to explain! I guess I like everything about you."
"Well then what you mostly like about me?"
Seifer smirked, "That almost like the last question." He took a moment to think. "I .I really don't know what I like about you more than anything, but if I had to choose I guess it would have to be. you determination."
"My determination?"
"Yeah!" he sat down on her bed. "You're always so determined to do this right, never like it when you get things wrong. And if you do something wrong you try to set things right, to the way you want it."
Quistis walked over to Seifer and kissed him on the check. "What was that for?"
"For telling me the truth." Quistis smiled and sat down next to him. "I have to admit that I like you for the same reason."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Well you know when everyone found out that I had a crush on Squall?" Seifer nodded. "Well I also started to like you at that time. You always seemed to be trying to get a reaction out of Squall and also you kept on trying to pass you exam. You where determined to do the things you wanted to do, even if it meant being in the wrong, and that's something I could never do."
Seifer got up, "Well I guess we like things in each other that seem to be the same thing." Quistis nodded. "Well it quite late, I'm going to bed." Seifer walked over to the door, but before he walked out he turned around and said "Goodnight Quisty."
