Chapter 3: The real world Rinoa's POV
"Rinoa!" it was the voice of the nanny we had for the last 8 years, Irene. "I'm coming! Hang on!" it was a normal Monday morning and I was getting ready for school. My dad's the general of Balamb Garden so naturally, I went there for school. I'm kinda sick of people who just stereotype me as the general's daughter and think I'm just the useless "damsel in distress". So I trained like hell and became one of Balamb Garden's best SeeDs.
Most of the time my dad isn't at the garden though. He usually stays at home or is on business trips to other parts of the world. So I get my ride from my next door neighbor and friend Irvine Kinneas. Irvine is the best SeeD at Balamb Garden. He's a sharpshooter but he's also quite skilled at sword fighting. On the way to school, we pick up his girlfriend and my best friend Selphie Tilmitt. A super energetic girl with energy to waste.
This morning was no different. I rushed down the stairs and out the door while Irene hastily shoved some toast in my mouth. Irvine's sports car was parked outside our mansion and he had his hand lazily resting on the windowsill. I jumped in the backseat and we headed for Selphie's house. "Hey Irvine" I greeted between bites of toast. "Mornin'" somehow, he always tried to act like a cowboy. From his hat to his accent, Irvine was one hundred percent genuine western. Selphie came bouncing out of her house to and climbed into the back seat to join me and we were off to school.
"Hey Rinoa! We're gonna be late!" Selphie said this every morning. But this time she had some truth behind her words. Even though instructor Trepe is one of my best friends, it didn't stop her from giving me detention. Selphie and I burst into the classroom DURING the bell and earned a nice "Good Morning" from Quistis Trepe, our instructor who taught weapon's history. Quistis was the youngest instructor at Garden, brilliantly gifted and strikingly beautiful, she was the object of many of the guys' affections.
Today, we were learning about Metasites. The extremely powerful beings that were the backbone of our army as well as the Galbadian army. The Galbadian army called us "Rebels" for some reason 'cause we didn't bow down and lick their shoes. "Metasites are humans that host a creature within them. They can call upon this creature at any time and create a sort of armor. Nobody knows exactly how metasites are created and the only evidence that someone is a metasite is a single scar somewhere on their body." I was copying furiously as she said this just like everyone else in the class.
"Geez why doesn't she give us photocopied notes on this stuff instead of making us copy?" whispered Selphie. "Yeah I know what you mean" I mumbled and then returned to copying down notes. "Metasites have extremely fast healing and they heal any wound in a matter of seconds so even deep cuts don't leave scars which is why they only have ONE scar on their body. Metasites are controlled via the brain and humans that host them sometimes go crazy since it's very hard to keep control of something so powerful." Quistis just went on and on. At the end of the class I had 3 pages of notes (which actually isn't that much since I write very big).
The next class we had was Physical Training. We were supposed to run laps and do push ups and sit ups to help us in our fighting. We all changed into our t-shirts and shorts and were just about to run laps when the instructor (Bayres) stopped us for a special announcement. Selphie just got out of the change room cause she's slow and she looked like she was gonna have a heart attack. "Hot guy! Hot guy!" she kept stammering. I rolled my eyes and laughed at her while at the same time wondering who this guy was that got Selphie so excited. "Hey you two! Snap back to reality will ya? I've got an announcement to make!" Instructor Bayres glared at us. "Alrite, we got a new student in our class. Please give a warm welcome to Mr. Squall Leonhart."
AN: OK there's chapter 3, I know I missed some stuff as to why Squall is all of a sudden at Balamb and why Irvine isn't in class like Selphie and Rinoa. But I'll clear things up in the next chapter! Please R&R! Constructive Criticism is welcome!
