Chapter 2
Rinoa Calls Irvine
"Hello. Irvine?"
"Hello. You have reached the Kinneas family, but no one is here to answer your call. Please leave a message after the beep, and we'll call you back as soon as we can. Thanks for calling. Remember to wait for the beep."
Beeeep
"Oh. Hi. I wanted to--well--you probably don't know me but…well, maybe you do. I wanted to--uh--I'm not being too clear here. I guess I'll call you back later. Sorry, I mean--bye."
Chapter 2-part 2
Rinoa calls Selphie
"Hello, Selphie? It's me. I just made the biggest fool of myself."
"No. It's Squall. Selphie isn't home."
"Squall? I'm sorry. I just thought Selphie would answer. She always does."
"Rinoa, you sound terrible. What's the matter?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Nothing? How can you sound so bad about nothing?"
"It's nothing. Really. It's about a boy."
"Well, I'm a boy."
"Squall, I know you're a boy."
"So maybe I can help."
"Don't be ridiculous."
"Well, thanks for the vote of confidence, Rinoa."
"Don't get insulted, Squall. Do you know Irvine Kinneas?"
"The basketball player?"
"Yeah."
"We're in the same gym class. He's always a team captain. When he chooses sides, he never chooses me."
"Sorry, Squall, but it's kind of funny, thinking of you and him in the same gym class."
"Stop laughing, Rinoa. I think I'm going to get really pissed off if you don't stop laughing."
"Well, admit it. You're not exactly the jock type."
"Oh, really? Have you ever seen me with a tennis racquet in my hand?"
"No."
"That's because I don't play tennis."
"Oh."
"You can laugh at that, Rinoa. That was a joke."
"Oh."
"Listen. Just because Irvine Kinneas can run, dribble, and shoot from anywhere on the floor doesn't make him a great athlete, either."
"Squall, you sound positively jealous."
"Shut up."
"Listen to you."
"Just shut the hell up."
"Make me."
"Why do you want to know about Irvine Kinneas?"
"None of your business, Squall."
"None of my business? But you brought him up! You asked me about him!"
"I told you you couldn't help me."
"You're right. You're beyond help!"
"You don't have to scream at me. You're not my brother. You're Selphie's. You're supposed to scream at her."
"She isn't here. And she isn't the one who's driving me crazy."
"How come we always fight?"
"I'm not fighting, Rinoa. I'm the shrimpy little nerd who shouldn't be in the same gym class with Irvine Kinneas. So how can I fight?"
"Come off it. I didn't mean that as an insult. Lighten up, okay? Where's Selphie?"
"I don't know. Out having her ears glued down."
"Squall! Stop that! You know how sensitive Selphie is about her big ears. You shouldn't tease her about her ears."
"Then what should I tease her about?"
"You're just being a pig."
"Oink-oink."
"Goodbye. I'm going to hang up now."
"Break my heart."
"Tell Selphie I called, okay? No. Don't tell her. Tell her it wasn't important."
"Okay. I'll tell her you didn't call and it wasn't important."
"Very funny. Remind me to laugh."
"Bye, Rinoa."
"Bye. Oh, Squall?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you have your notes for Miller's chemistry exam?"
"Of course."
"Can I borrow them from you?"
"Of course. Don't you always?"
"Yes. I guess I do. Thanks, Squall. See you."
"See you, Rinoa."
