Chapter 2- Roommates
Seifer, Raijin and Fujin went to Seifer's room, in the Dorms.
Seifer sits down on his bed "Damn! Squall won't get off my case... I can't make a step without him breathing down my neck!"
Fujin "REST"
Raijin "Yeah, Fujin's right, ya know!? You should get some rest. Squall won't go on like this once you become a SeeD, ya know!?"
Seifer "... You think?"
Fujin "YES"
Raijin "Hey, Seifer, I heard you were getting' a new roommate, ya know!? Wonder what's he gonna be like."
Seifer "..."
Raijin "Well, we'll see you later, ya know!?"
Fujin "BYE!" the two walk out of the room, leaving Seifer alone with his thoughts
Seifer "... New roommate... Wonderful!" lies down on his bed
After a few minutes, Seifer hears footsteps on the hallway. "(some guy must be lookin' for his room)". He gets up and looks out the window. His room had a beautiful view of the shores of Balamb. Watching the sea calmed him down. A few seconds later, someone walks into Seifer's room.
Seifer turns around "!!!"
Man "No way!!! Don't tell me YOU're my roommate!"
Seifer "Don't worry, I'm not thrilled with the idea, either!"
Man throws his bags on the empty bed "... Great!... The name's Lani Synne, and I think we'll get along as long as you just stay outta my way."
Seifer is furious "Well, I'm Seifer Almasy, and you'd better behave while I'm around, unless you want me to add a scar to that pretty forehead of yours!"
Lani "Just try it!"
Rinoa just walked into the room "HUH!? You're Seifer's new roommate!?! (This isn't good at all...)"
Lani grins to Seifer "Girlfriend?"
Seifer "Nah, we've been good friends since we were kids."
Lani sits down on his bed "Heh, thought so... Heard she's Leonheart's property..."
Rinoa "Excuse me!!?? That wasn't a very nice thing to say, you know!"
Lani "... I wasn't trying to be nice..."
Rinoa "... Well, anyway! I came here to ask you two to be careful... Squall's got his eye on Seifer, and if you make any more scenes you'll both get thrown out!" turns around, intending to leave, but remembers something and turns back to Lani "Hey, by the way, what's your name?"
Lani "... Lani... you're that Galbadian girl... Rinoa, right?"
Rinoa "Yeah, how'd you know?"
Lani "... I have my ways..."
Rinoa "(What...?)... Uh... yeah, whatever... See you later, Seifer!"
Seifer "See ya!"
After Rinoa left the room, Lani took a book out of his bag and started reading. Seifer was a bit surprised... he didn't expect to see a guy like that reading in his pass-time. Since there wasn't anything else for him to do, Seifer tried again to get some sleep. A few hours later, when he woke up, his roommate was nowhere in sight.
It was afternoon. Rinoa was helping Squall sort the files of all the new students. Zell was in the Training Center. Selphie and Irvine were working on organizing the party after the SeeD exam. Quistis was walking down the main hall, thinking. She was wondering where will Squall send all the SeeD candidates to give the field exam... There weren't any disturbances anywhere, and it didn't seem like some would break out anytime soon. As she was passing the Library, her eyes met an unexpected sight. She stopped and went near the bench just outside the Library.
Quistis "Well, I have to admit, I never thought you'd be such a dedicated student."
Lani answers without taking his eyes off the books "I'm just full of surprises, aren't I?... It's really simple actually: I came here to become a SeeD, and that's exactly what I'm gonna do... If I have to study to achieve my goal, then I'll study..."
Quistis "What about the problems you've been having with Seifer? They could stop you from reaching your goal just as much as not studying."
Lani finally stops reading and looks Quistis in the eye "That's different, Instructor. I don't like it when people invade my personal space without a real reason... especially if they're tough-guy wannabes..."
Quistis "So, that's what you think of Seifer?"
Lani "Isn't it obvious? He lost to you guys every time in the Second Sorceress War, and yet still he's acting like he's the toughest guy in the Garden... And now, if you don't mind, I'd like to get back to my studying."
Quistis "Not at all... Go right ahead."
The Instructor left Lani with his books and went on ahead to continue her walk. ("Seifer... Tough-guy wannabe... Maybe he's right?...")
Woo! Another chapter done! Am I getting good at this? You tell me... in you reviews!!! You haven't forgotten to send me a review... have you?
Seifer, Raijin and Fujin went to Seifer's room, in the Dorms.
