New day, old problems
Squall wakes up the next morning to a loud ring in his ears.
'I hate mornings.' he thinks turning off his alarm clock.
He gets up slowly and gets ready for another day.
"Good Morning!" Says Selphie as cheery as ever as he walks out of his
dorm.
"There's no such thing as a good morning."
"Ooh, cold." She giggles slightly. "Irvine's watin' for ya!"
"Why?" He shakes his head still trying to wake up.
"Don't know. said something about some guy named Max?"
'What's wrong now?' he thinks to himself.
"Whatcha thinking about?" Asks Selphie.
"Nothing."
"I know you better than that Squall."
"Max... He's a little weird."
'Did he just say somebody else is weird!?' thinks Selphie.
"You better watch out for him okay Selphie?"
"Yeah!" She says smiling.
Selphie runs down the hall away from Squall with a large smile on her face.
Squall goes in the opposite direction and literally runs into Max.
"Hey Squall!" He says cheerily.
'First he's serious now he's back to "Selphie Mode"'
"What's wrong?" asks Max.
"Nothing."
"You." is what Squall wanted to say, but he decided against it mentally.
"Okay." Max keeps walking past Squall.
"Wait Max. I need to talk to you."
Max stops and turns slowly towards him.
"What about?" He tries to sound cheery, but has a hard time.
"I just got your record from Headmaster Cid."
Max looks at Squall with a slit amount of anger.
"And?" He asks through clenched teeth.
"It's quite interesting. You're a Mercenary?"
"Y-yeah. I work for myself. Is that a problem?" He asks in a threatening
tone.
Squall shakes it off.
"Just as long as you don't go terrorizing anybody in Garden."
"I would never!" he says dramatically.
"Watch yourself Caron. If Cid doesn't do anything you'll deal with me."
'How dare you!' thinks Max. 'No one calls me by my last name!'
"Fine Squall. I'll try to be a 'Good Boy' for my stay here." He says
sarcastically.
"Don't push it Max. I can have you kicked out of here quicker than you
think."
"Try me." He walks away chuckling. "Just try me Leonheart!"
"SQUALL!" Yells Rinoa angrily as she runs down the hall. "WHERE HAVE YOU
BEEN!?"
'Not now Rinoa I really don't need this.' He starts to walk away slowly.
"No you don't!" She runs in front of him. "I've been looking for you for
the past week and all of a sudden you turn up here!"
"I don't want to talk to you." He says coldly.
She looks at him hatefully.
"I don't care! You left with out even telling us and then you just expect
us to say 'Hey Squall we don't care where you've been come on back!' We're
not IDIOTS!"
"I know everyone else isn't, but I'm not too sure about you."
She gasps at the joke more than the insult.
'Did Squall just make a joke!?'
"Leave me alone Rinoa, just because we beat Ultimicia doesn't mean my job
is any easier."
"That's all you care about? What about 'us'?"
He shakes his head angrily.
"Don't you understand.? There was never an 'us'. So just leave me alone."
He turns and walks away from a somewhat speechless Rinoa.
'I hate it when he does that!'
She storms off in the opposite direction and walks past Quistis.
"Morning Rinoa." She says kindly.
"Hey Quisty." She tries to sound pleasant.
"What's wrong this time?"
"Squall." One word explained it all to Quistis.
"Oh. He make you mad again?"
"Yes! He left without telling me!"
Quistis giggles quietly.
"He did the same to us so don't think you're special."
'Now she's turning on me!' Rinoa storms off again. "Bye Quisty."
'That girl needs to get over him, it's unhealthy."
Squall wakes up the next morning to a loud ring in his ears.
'I hate mornings.' he thinks turning off his alarm clock.
He gets up slowly and gets ready for another day.
