Forgiving or forgiven
"I need to find Seifer, Fujin and Raijin. The headmaster demands that they are sent to his office together." Zell said as soon as he got to the detention centre.
He looked around the rectangular room and shivered. The detention centre was one to be avoided at all costs. It was like a prison, only everyone got their own cell. Depending on the crime depended on how long they spent in there.
They were sparsely furnished, with a bed, toilet with door and walls, a desk and a chair. The desk and chair was for the students to continue their studies so they wouldn't fall behind, and extra work was set daily.
If you were only there for the night, because you were found outside after curfew, you only had a cell, no bed, no nothing, except a bathroom. It quickly taught students to not get caught.
"Fine. They're in cells 3, 4 and 5." the supervisor said. "I'd be careful how you handled them, though," he added, handing him the keys.
Zell walked towards the appropriate cells. Seifer and Fujin were talking, and Raijin had fallen asleep.
"Come on, Headmaster Cid wants to see you in his office. Are you going to come on your own?" Zell inquired.
Seifer looked up from his conversation. "Yeah, as soon as Raijin wakes up."
"No, the headmaster wants to see you now! Wake him up!"
"Let me out of here, and I could reach him properly!"
Zell unlocked Seifer, Fujin, and opened Raijin's cell. Seifer walked up to him and started to roughly push his shoulder. Raijin just mumbled and turned over.
"Hey, Fujin, help me carry him to the bathroom," Seifer said. Between them they carried him to the bathroom and poured cold water on his face. He spluttered, and opened his eyes. Fujin dropped his legs, and Seifer pushed him upright.
"Come on, Headmaster Cid's been waiting long enough as it is!" Zell said impatiently.
They walked out of the detention brigs with Zell behind them.
Seifer stopped. Everyone in the main hall had stopped to look at him. The only expressions he saw was fury, hate and resentment. A lump formed in his throat, and he swallowed audibly.
"Ok, what's the hold-up?" Zell demanded.
He looked at the crowd. "Alright, this isn't a zoo, carry on what you were doing before my fist has an appointment with your faces." The crowd started moving.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Get moving!" Zell said when he saw that Seifer still wasn't moving. They quickly walked to the elevator. The elevator pinged and the crowd of students that was there rushed past the party of four waiting for the elevator to empty, whispering. They got into the elevator, which started moving towards the third floor.
When they got there, they discovered Squall, Quistis, Irvine, Selphie and Rinoa.
'There must have been an announcement when we were in the detention centre. Why doesn't the intercom reach there? What if there was an emergency?' Zell thought to himself.
Seifer looked around the room for a moment, and then walked out of the elevator, shoulders slumped. He saw Cid, as usual, behind his desk, and looked at him. Cid pointed to a corner with three chairs. The posse sat down, while the other six saluted in front of Cid. They stood at ease, and Cid cleared his throat.
"Well, everyone, you should already know why we are here." Cid began. "Seifer, we have decided that you are to be entered into the SeeD program once again, along with Fujin and Raijin. Does anyone have any questions?" Cid asked, looking about expectantly.
"Yes. What happens if he breaks Garden code again?" Irvine asked.
"Well, I'm afraid he would be kicked out again. Any other questions? Seifer, surely you have one."
"Yeah, I do. Will I need someone supervising me for a while until I can show that I can behave?" Zell snorted.
"Yes. That will be your room mate, Zell Dincht. Any more questions?" Cid looked around and was met with silence. "Ok, you are dismissed, except for Seifer, Fujin, Raijin and Zell. We need to sort out room arrangements."
Seifer looked at Zell, and saw what he feared. Zell was fuming with rage, probably at being assigned a room with him. He sighed. Why couldn't people just accept him? He had changed, yes, but he hoped it was for the better, and that Garden was going to enhance that change in him.
"Zell, I'm afraid it was unavoidable," Cid said. "It might turn out to be a mistake..."
"Too right, it's going to turn out to be a mistake! Tell me one time that we were able to stay in a room together without practically ripping each other's throats out!" Zell shouted.
"You're getting along now alright," Cid pointed out.
"Yeah, that's only because I haven't spoken to him yet! I bet that if I talk to him now, insults will fly, as usual!" Zell fumed, going red.
"Zell," Seifer said softly, standing up.
"What?" Zell was so caught up in his rage that he didn't realize Seifer didn't call him chicken-wuss.
"Zell, I'll try to get along with you, so long as you do the same. I hope that we can become friends eventually," Seifer said quietly, walking over to him and placing a hand on Zell's shoulder to try to get him to calm down. Zell had a look of shock on his face. Seifer wasn't surprised, he couldn't remember the last time he had been nice to Zell, by calling him by his proper name.
"....."
"Alright, that's sorted." Cid said joyfully, clapping his hands together. "Seifer, do you have any belongings that you wish to be in Garden before we leave?"
"Yes. It will mean that I will have to go back to FH to get them. You have got our weapons, so we have no difficulty there..." Seifer trailed off.
"It's settled, then. Seifer, go and get your stuff with Fujin and Raijin. Zell will escort you there. Seifer, your and Zell's dorm room is room 2047, in A block. Fujin and Raijin, you will be sharing, and your room is 2048, also in A block. After that, we leave." Cid said. Zell saluted, and they all got into the elevator.
Well? Was it any good? I hoped to get it that bit longer, so I hope that's OK. Please review! I need reviews for inspiration! Thanks to my very small group of readers.
