"Let the bodies hit the floor!"

Selphie chanted the words that her lips were now so familiar with. Saying the same thing over for hours did that.

Bearow had told her to stay away from her "so called friends." She gad talked to him every night since her friends had deserted her. She hadn't learned much of him but she trusted him. He was her only friend. He was real! She told him everything.

She was wiping the sweat from her brow as girlish laughter came from ahead. Quisti came into view dragging squall. He was wearing one of his rare smiles.

Selphie tried to sink into the shadows. for a moment she had thought it worked. Then Quisti stopped and smiled at her.

"Good morning, Selphie," She said lightly.

"Yeah, great day." Selphie replied shortly as she continued walking. Quisti sighed.

"See, Squall, that's what I mean?"

After Selphie had vanished from view Quisti turned back to Squall.

"She's always locked in her room."

"Except now." Squall said. They walked to the lunchroom in silence.

Seifer sat alone at the table in the corner. The couple took their usual places across from him and looked to him expectantly.

"Do you forgive me yet?" Quisti asked in a pleading voice.
"No, not really... I want my CD's. You should never have let her borrow them. They aren't yours."
"You know Seify when you talk like that you sound just like a 10 year old holding a grudge...."
He glared at her, furious with the tone of her voice. She had no right to talk to him like he was a baby. He was a grown man for SeeDs sake.
"Awww, Seify your pouting again. I can see it on that-"Seifer stood abruptly. Glaring daggers a Quistis he spun from the table running straight into Xu. He caught her by the hand as she flailed her arms on the way down. She stopped inches from the ground.
"I need shorter arms." She laughed nervously as he pulled her up to him. Kicking her feet back he jerked hard on her arm causing the blood to rush to her head. She stumbled for a second as the world before her turned white. "Woah..." she shook it off slowly. "Ummm... Oh yeah!!" she giggled. Then she stopped and blushed, noticing the stares of the group around her. "Squall." Her voice took on its usual business tone. "Headmaster Cid has something to speak to you about. He said it was very urgent." She stepped away quickly, off on another mission.
Squall looked at his friends with a raised brow. He stood slowly and stretched his arms.
"Well I better go see what he wants." He shuffled slowly out of the room.
Quisti and Seifer sat in silence staring at Squalls retreating frame.
"Well, that was odd."
"Yeah. So.... Are you done being mad yet??"
