Chapter 2: War and Boredom equal Tough Decisions Squall's POV
I woke up as usual to the sound of the alarm clock ringing in my ears. I had stuff to do today. Which was rare, since normally nothing happens around here that concerns me. I had to get suited up and ready to go see Martine in about 10 minutes. More than enough time.
The uniform they had me decked out in was ridiculous. Elite uniform my ass. Sure the girls loved it but Hyne it was just so uncomfortable. I spent a total of about 3 seconds at the mirror combing my hair. It was getting long, with strands that go down to my chin. I pushed the thin strands out of my cold steel blue eyes and looked into the scar that ran just between my eyes. I've had that scar for as long as I can remember and I have no clue how the hell I got it. Funny huh?
Anyways, Martine asked me to go to his office again. Damn bastard. He's telling me about a raid and how I'm not allowed to go AGAIN. There's not enough action around here. Martine just makes all the crap-ass metasite's fight in raids and shit like that and the elite's like us don't get to do anything. There's absolutely no more challenge anymore. Okay, who cares if I could wipe out half the rebels by myself? That's no fun, and what's even more boring is just sitting around doing nothing. The rebels are a group of people who oppose the main government which is of course run by Martine. Those guys actually built themselves a pretty nice garden and are putting up a decent fight but Martine's won it once he sticks all his metasites into the fight. The rebels have some metasites as well, but no where near as strong as ours. Martine's just toying with em' right now, he knows he's won. But he's a strange man and I hate strange guys...
Anyways, Martine won't even let me fight anymore and now all I do is sit around playing video games or something. It's so sad...I'm stuck here day after day, hour after hour without any friends since everybody here just treats me like some sorta huge celebrity or something so noone will be my friend, plus I won't let anyone be my friend.
Well, that was a nice meeting. It lasted 30 minutes and half the time he was sipping his coffee. Now he just kicked me out with a swift "Enjoy yourself" and I'm back to my boring life. I decided just to go back to my dorm since I really didn't feel like training today for some odd reason...
I can't stand this anymore, it might sound like a great life, but take it from me, it sure as hell isn't. I gotta get away from here. I'm walking down the halls and three different girls are giving me frickin idiotic looks, guys are saluting me, and all these instructors are asking me to be their demonstration guy for their next class. "It would be a great honor" they say, pfft who needs it?
Ok, I'm getting the hell outta here and I don't give a shit what Martine or anyone else thinks. They can't stop me.
AN: Still a slow chapter that just explains things. But Squall will meet Rinoa and her friends in the next chapter. Please R&R!
