A few visits and something strange
"Yeah Quistis?" Asks Squall walking into her classroom.
"I need to talk to you." She says in her most instructor-like voice.
"Same here, Instructor."
"I know this is a stressful time for you Squall and-"
Squall slams his fist in his hands loudly.
"Quistis I'm not going to lie to you." He says a bit forcefully. "I'm not
a Headmaster. I'm a SeeD. That's why I'm not going to be taking over after
Cid leaves."
She looks at him almost shocked.
"You know Squall he's not going to be happy about this." She says sternly.
"Heh," he scoffs. "I know, but I just... don't care anymore. Cid can keep
this place for all I care... If he loves it so much then he can keep it, but
I don't want it."
"I see..." She pulls out a clipboard and starts writing feverishly.
"What are you writing?" He asks strongly.
"N-nothing Squall, just notes for tomorrow." She stutters.
"If you're worried about my mental health then stop it. I'm okay Quistis
and you know it. All this stuff is too much at once. First Cid wanting me
to take over, then Max, and now the bombings! I... I can't take all this at
one time, nobody can!" He yells hitting the table powerfully.
"I can see why you're worried." Quistis says very professionally.
"Damn it Quisty you've known me longer than anybody! You know why I'm so
mad."
She nods.
"And stop acting like a damn Shrink alright, I don't need therapy to deal
with this all I need is some time to think."
"I know what you mean Squall, but... Cid asked me to do this."
'Damnit Cid... why do you have to do this to me?'
"Why?" He asks coldly.
"I don't know, I guess he was worried about you too."
"Quistis I'm going to leave before I do something I'll regret and don't
follow me alright?"
She simply nods her head slowly.
"And tell Cid I'm not taking over."
He starts for the door.
"Oh and tell him to screw himself."
Squall walks out of the room angry enough to kill Cid.
'Why the hell does he-'
"Ah!" He runs into someone.
"Oh sorry Squall!" Says the familiar voice of Max. "Didn't see you."
"It's... okay Max." Squall says through tightly clenched teeth. "I thought
you were still in the Infirmary?"
"She let me out just a few minutes ago, decided I would go and talk to ya."
He smiles cheerfully.
"Right now it not a good time." He says frigidly.
'Seems mad." Thinks Max 'Better just leave him alone.'
"Alright Squall I'll catch you tomorrow then. Hey how about we have a
little match in the TC after lunch?"
"Yeah Max... bye."
"Bye."
Squall walks off towards his dormitory as Max walks to Quistis' room.
He walks inside her room as she looks up from her paperwork strew about her
desk.
"Yes Max?" She asks kindly. "Can I help you?"
"Yes you can Instructor." He walks over to her desk somewhat suspiciously
as if hiding something. "I need to speak with you about something."
"And that is?"
"Squall..."
She gives him a questioning look.
"What about him and... why?"
"Just want to get to know him better is all. Want to know why he's always
cold to everybody."
"Well it's a long story."
"Never mind then, I don't have a lot of time." He moves away from her.
"Wait Max. Why do you really want to know about him?"
"I like him."
"What!?" She apparently takes it the wrong way.
"NO! Not like THAT instructor! I'm not that sick okay? I just meant as a
person, he's a good guy."
"Okay. Now Max you know he's not really in a good mood right now so watch
out for him."
"I already saw. I better go, bye Instructor Trepe." Max walks the rest of
the way to the door and exits the room leaving Quistis with her work.
'It looks like my plans are working. The only thing I need to do is make
sure Squall doesn't take over. Then Galbadia can do whatever the hell they
want to this place.' Max thinks walking to the elevator. 'Then I can go
on with my life without Squall ruining it all and taking all that I want
from me. I'll beat him in his own battle and prove that I should have been
the one to kill Ultimecia, not him. And Seifer... he can join me.'
He walks into the open elevator and pushes the button for the first floor.
'In fact I might just kill them all. Including that lovely Rinoa, she's
beautiful. I see why Squall liked her. I will show all of people in Garden
that Squall is weak compared to the power of a sorceress's son!'
He reaches the bottom floor.
'Mother Edea how I wish you wouldn't have disowned me when I was young. If
only you had taught me something about my powers instead of shunning me for
them.'
Max makes his way to his room.
'Well I guess you may have to die as well. So sorry mother, but it was
your fault.'
He reaches for the control panel of his single dormitory and punches in the
code.
'Good night Garden... sweet nightmares.' He opens the door and walks inside.
'Let's hope they're all terrible.'
"Yeah Quistis?" Asks Squall walking into her classroom.
"I need to talk to you." She says in her most instructor-like voice.
"Same here, Instructor."
"I know this is a stressful time for you Squall and-"
Squall slams his fist in his hands loudly.
