[Chapter Three]
Miss Popularity
Xu held her stomach within the comfort of her left arm. The whispers died down, all eyes trained on the center that currently occupied the fallen and the victor. Seifer raised the gunblade to his shoulder, and said quite haughtily. "Game..Set..and Match"
Xu grimaced tightly at those words, but crouched over she still had a way of bringing him down. Leg was shot outwards from her crouching body, and she found that Seifer stood just in range for him to get tripped up. Blue eyes just met the forward thrust of the tan leg, but his reaction time was slow.
Legs were pulled from beneath him, and he fell hard onto the pavement. Air was knocked out as the ordeal was done and the audience was calculating the aftermath. Xu chuckled, leaning heavily onto one of her katals. Metallic eyes met his in one fiery moment, "Not yet Seifer, I'm not finished with you."
Wincing, she moved away through the crowd, which automatically lead a path for her. Seifer could allow lay on his back, and feel the humiliating eyes upon his fallen form.

Hours passed, but the talk of the fight never even hindered for the moment. Many people now were taking sides with what seem to be the two leaders of Balamb. But neither Xu nor Seifer would take any part in what the students gossiped around the school. This was their fight and their fight alone. Seifer took his place, alone as usual, on the far south wall of Balamb, near enough to the training grounds to see any worthwhile action. On the PA system, loud enough for him to read rang the tones: "Will Seifer Almasy and Xu Seagill please report to the Headmaster's Office..I repeat.."
Seifer groaned at the voice, from which he heard too often, and stood up from his position poised near the wall. It was most likely about the fight, and knowing Cid, they most likely would be dealt in some sort of punishment. As he walked into the main entrance, a crowd of people rushed forward to him; he rolled his eyes. Class changes.
Xu had also heard the PA system requesting her attendance in the Head Master's office. Since she was in the library, stupid Technique class she thought angrily to herself when the project was given to her, and made her way across the wave of students in class changes. She felt a hard grip on her shoulder, and a wave of tension broke forth into her mind. She growled and wheeled around, into the eyes of a very handsome young guy. Metallic eyes met that of the ocean. Squall Leonheart that was the name that came to Xu's mind. It didn't matter that he was well sought after by all girls…No one touched her.
Her hand positioned and made itself known as a red mark upon Squall's left cheek. Squall let go and stepped back hesitantly. He had been looking for someone else…but this surely wasn't the person he sought. Seifer raised his head once the crowd had stopped suddenly at his feet. Dark eyes made forth unto the duo forms of Squall and Xu. He saw the throbbing red mark on Squall's cheek and the moody look upon Xu's face.
He only smirked, and moved on.
Oh yes, Xu had became popular in her few short days at Balamb…but that would soon change. He thought this secretly to himself as he ascended the stairs to the main elevator. He heard the noise die down as he stepped into the elevator…as he stepped in; someone stepped in after him.
"God..not you again."
