*A/N ok I thought that maybe I could take a small turn and peak through the
characters eyes. I'm pretty sure it'll be easy to tell who's brain is
speaking if not I'll give there names some where. F.Y.I. I think most of
the updates will be like this for a bit maybe 3 or 4 chapters at the least

No one ever said that life was easy. Nor did I ever expect it to be, but still at least Hyne could have given me instructions. I hate it I hate every minute of it from the time I get up to the time I go to sleep. Everyone says I'm like my father, cold, heartless, and arrogant. However, I'm not, nor is my father those things either. For as long as I can remember my father was always kind to me. My mother was different, it was like she tried to accept me but she couldn't. It was as if she was trying to be a mother to me like as if I wasn't her child. I know she loves me but still, it's a different love then my fathers. His love is that of a father's to his offspring. But my mother's is like the love a child shows for a pet. It's strange I know.
My brother on the other hand is a different story. I know he loves me, he always protects me. My brother and me are no more then maybe a year and 3 months apart. He looks a lot like my dad but he has my mom's hair and skin. I on the other hand inherited my father's hair, eyes, and attitude. My mother says in a way I look like my father when I'm upset or sleeping. But she never says I look like her. I had asked my brother once and he said that was because his mom wasn't the same mother as mine. I think I was around six when he said it. I can still remember the pain when I asked my father. He was so pissed he beat my brother till he couldn't walk. Of course, mom intervened before anything horrific could happen to Derrick but still dad was pissed and he left the house with me for a few weeks. When we came back he rarely spoke to Derrick and if he did it was to yell at him or discipline him for something. When I was eight they sent Derrick to Balamb Garden. Dad was sorta happy he was gone, mom cried for a few days, and I was lonely. My brother was the only kid close to my age where we lived.
After my brother left I always pondered about what had made father so upset about what Derrick had said. Was it true that the woman married to my dad wasn't really my mom? I was 8 years old for Hyne's sake and I wanted to know why my brother was sent away and what was the truth behind it. I had asked my uncle Raijin once but he seemed to change the subject. He said it wasn't his place to tell me it was my father's, so I let it alone. The idea hadn't crossed my mind until two months ago when I met a boy. He was in my magic class. Our instructor Mrs. Leonhart said he was a transfer from Centra. I didn't know Centra had a garden but who was I to say anything.
"Kids this is Ki'ran Valinteen. He's come to us from Centra Garden. I'm sure you guys will treat him justly and show him around. Ki'ran your seat is next to D'meera. Dee raise your hand."
Great all I needed was to sit next to the class newbie. But he was cute. Moreover, his name was as strange as mine was. I wonder if he knew what my name was. My dad said it had some kind of meaning in an ancient language and his matron had said I was a special child. But I was never informed about anything until now when I decided to accept Ki'ran as my desk mate. Funny huh how fate works only two days ago I was sitting next to Jenner Dincht till he decided he'd break my heart and leave me but I'll get to that later.
"Is this my seat?"
"Yeah I'm not gonna stop you from sittin here am I? The names D'meera Almasy. And you're Ki'ran Valinteen I heard."
"Yeah", he smiled and Hyne he was beautiful. He looked like and angel an angel with long black hair, and his voice was like bells whispering on the wind. Hyne I could feel myself blushing as I looked at him. I can't remember anything about that class now except for the fact that my best friend Jared had to nudge me occasionally so I could wipe the drool. I couldn't help it he was HOT!!!
I was sitting in the cafeteria with my posse when my brother came in. My brother the all so mighty and powerful Commander of Balamb Garden. Heh heh I still kinda think the look on my father's face was funny when the announcement was made during my orientation that day. My brother was the Commander of SeeD and he was only 18 now. His best friend was the headmaster's son and a major pain in the ass. Talon Leonhart to me was a moron. He took after his ditzy mother. His sisters were ok though, although they we stuck up they were fun to talk to about crap like boys and gossip. If you wanted to know who was who and doing what you went to them.
As for my brother's other friends I could care less about. There was Neila Trepe, whom I knew for sure was my brothers fuck buddy. The girl was like her mom a whore in my eyes. It there were ever a picture dictionary made and the word slut came up Neila's picture would be right next to it. Then there was Jenner Dincht, Neila's half brother. He was an alright guy for a while until we started dating. Sometimes I wished I had listened to Jared but I'm an Almasy, we're not ones for listening. Jenner and I were only dating for three months until he decided he would cheat on me. After that I wanted to leave. Now Headmaster Squall's brother Aurdrian Loire was a different story. His father was the president of Esthar. Aurdrian was the headmaster's younger brother and a part time member of our posse. Unlike any of us, his father was the eldest. President Loire was pushing 62, which made Aurdrian an easy target for being made fun of. So when we could we would defend him.
"Uhm… Garden to Dee you there Dee?"
"Huh. What Jared?"
"I was asking you about this new guy and you spaced out. What's he like?"
"Beautiful….." I sighed. Of all my friends, Jared was my best. I told him everything and anything that was on my mind. Just then, Mr. Kinneas decided to grace us with his presence. I liked Mr. Kinneas, he was cool.
"Howdy y'all. So what's up Squirt? My boy here givin you a hard time?" he smiled I love it when he smiled just like I loved it when my dad smiled, they both had lovely smiles.
"No sir. Just discussing they new kid. Hey Mr. Kinneas is there really a garden in Centra?"
" Don't know Squirt don't know. I'd have ta check. Why?"
"Because she likes the new guy dad." Jared grinned evilly. Damn him damn him to hell. He always liked to make me mad. I'll get him back later.
"Ooohhh I see. Well I'll make it my first priority to find out then. Anyway, your ma want's you to get home to eat supper Jared. D'meera you welcome as always to join if you wish. Oh and this came for ya." He handed me a package simply marked Princess. I knew right away it was from my father. I opened it, found a letter, and some sort of garment wrapped up in tissue. The letter was short.
To my princess,
Finally, you're taking that damn exam. Well do your best and remember Almasy's never quit nor take crap from anyone. Hopefully I'll be home in time to attend your party. Don't worry about dancing it's only the waltz of the moon no biggy get your uncle Raij to teach you if I'm not back in time.
Love always
Your father
Seifer
Ps hope you like the gift. It's old but it fits you perfectly take care of it see you soon
I unwrapped the garment and was shocked to see it was my father's old trench coat. Of all the clothes my father wore, his gray trench was his fave. Now it was mine. I put it on without hesitation.
"Wow it looks nice on ya Dee."
"Thanks Jared hey maybe I should wear it to dinner tonight huh?"
"Yeah it'll look awesome. Well I gotta go I'll see ya in a bit ok."
"Sure. Just warn me if your mom's cookin ok I don't feel like dying before the field exam."
"Ha ha I will. I let dad know your coming so he could set you a plate. Bye"
