Cupid * chapter 2*
Besfrenz
"Foeline Aeignjel, 17 years old, Weapon: Mooncutter, a type of boomerang blade, Um…. Where were you from???" The headmaster's assistant, Xu, glanced at me and asked. Uh oh, where was I from.
"Um… Dollet?"
She raised heer left brow, as if wondering why would I need to think about my answer. Can't blame her, who in his or her right mind would forget where one was from. But I never thought taking on this matchmaker assignment would be that tough. I couldn't even understand how could Hyne expect me to memorize everything in just a day? My new identity, every detail about the Balamb Garden and what happened within its last ten years, and most important, all about the PAIR! I can't imagine how in this world I can bring them together. One was a sorceress knight, and the other a SeeD, trained to fight the sorceress. Of course it had been 3 months already after the defeat of Ultemicia, the sorceress who tried to compress time, maybe, um… what was her name? Ah yes, Quistis Trepe can forget what that Seifer Almasy had done to all of them… On second thought, it's impossible.
"Earth to Ms. Aeignjel, I said you may leave now. Just make sure to report to your class on time tomorrow."
"Yes Ms. Xu."
"And one more thing, I already told someone to give you a tour around the school."
Just that moment, a knock was heard on the door, then an energetic brunette came bursting in.
"Ms. Tilmitt, this is Foeline Aeignjel," then Ms. Xu turned to look at me, "This is Ms. Selphie Tilmitt"
"I smiled at her and shook her hand, then she gave me a big grin. She asked me.
"Do you want to join the Garden Festival Committee? We always new members and it would be fun…."
"Excuse me, I think you should show her around first before anything." Xu interrupted.
"Oh yes, that's right, how thoughtless of me."
Before I can say anything, she pulled me out of the room and dragged me into the elevator.
"You know, the Festival will…."
I couldn't stop smiling, she sure is enthusiastic, maybe even a little too much. She couldn't stop telling me how great and fabulous the Garden Festival would be. After a few moments, the elevator came to a stop. I stepped out and saw a handsome cowboy flashing me his most devilish smile.
"Hello, I'm Irvine Kinneas, I think, you're new right? Of course, I had never seen such beautiful blond haired lady around here before, except for Ms. Trepe of course. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?"
He took my hand and planted a small kiss on top of it. I turned to look at Selphie and saw that she's red with anger glaring at Irvine.
"Her name is Foeline Aeignjel and I was supposed to give her a tour, but now that you're here, I suppose that she won't need it anymore."
"Oh, Sefie, you know that I don't care about the other girls, you are the only one for me. I was just being hospitable, you know, to make her feel more comfortable."
"Oh Irvine!"
"Oh Selphie!"
She sure does forgive easily. I smiled to myself. Then they started kissing and hugging. I coughed a little just to let them remember that I'm still here.
"Oh, um… I'm sorry…. Would you mind…" Selphie looked at me and blushed. And I know exactly what she meant.
"No, sure, go on, I know every little detail about…. I mean, I'll just look around by myself."
"Ok, thanks. And I almost forgot, your roommate is Seifer Almasy."
"What? He's reaccepted to this garden?" Hyne sure left this little detail out.
"You know him?"
Uh oh, my stupid, big mouth. My mind raced for an excuse…
"Ah, of course, I heard about him somewhere, he's quite famous as the Sorceress's Knight."
"Ah, I see. Good luck with your roommate."
Yeah, good luck to me. I need all the luck I can get. I waved my hands to Selphie and left.

I entered my dorm room, and was quite surprised to see that it was organized and neat. Maybe that Seifer guy has a good side. I looked around in his side of room out of curiosity. Nothing special here, just some clothes and uniform, a bed, a desk, a closet, no pictures or other decorations at all. He must be feeling so lonely. Then suddenly the door opened, and came a strutting Seifer.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Get the hell outta here!!!"
"Um…. Actually, I'm your new roommate, the name's Foeline Aeignjel."
He frowned at me and examined me from top to bottom, as if sizing me up. I stared at him and realized that he was actually quite handsome, with his emerald eyes and light blond hair. Then he shrugged.
"Whatever. Just keep out of my way. Or I'll put you to the list."
What a friendly start!!! I glared at him but then realized that he wasn't looking at me. I sighed and started to unpack.
"Why don't you have any pictures or what to decorate your side of room?"
………
"Where's your hometown?"
………
"May I see your Hyperion?"
………
"Hey, you were never a silent person, you were supposed to be obnoxious and rude, not quiet!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Uh oh… "Nothing, just from what I heard." Actually it's in the file, but I wasn't suppose to tell you that I know everything about you, right?
"Whatever! Just keep your comments to yourself, I'd rather talk to myself than spend my time chitchatting with you."
What a jerk!!! Poor Quistis….. I thought to myself….
