*At Balamb Garden*
~Selphie has a date? With who? What about me? I thought she loved me. I guess I was wrong. Well it doesn't matter. I have Ashley. Is this really the end of our relationship? I don't know if I want it to stop. I don't know.........~ Irvine rolled onto his backside. He sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
Irvine: .........I can't sleep.........
He stood up and put his hat on. Irvine reached for his cell phone, which had 3 unread messages on it. He sat down in one of his leather chairs and pushed "play". His first message came on.
Programmed Voice: You have 3 unread messages. Message 1, Monday 4:26 pm. *BEEP*
Ashley: Hey Irvy, this is Ashley. I know I just called you but umm......... well, I was wondering if you could do anything after the dance on Friday. *giggles* Well, call me back on my cell. My number is 284-2958. Okay, love ya! Bye.
Programmed Voice: Message 2, Tuesday 7:09 am. *BEEP*
Rinoa: Hi Irvine! This is Rinoa. You know that fight you got in with Selphie? Well she doesn't care any more, so she says you guys should umm.........be like friends again ok? Call me back. You know my number.
Programmed Voice: Message 3, Tuesday, 12:56 pm. *BEEP*
Ashley: Irvine, this is Ashley again. I'm sorry to call you so much, but I couldn't wait for the dance. Do you think you could come over tomorrow at around 11? Call me.
Programmed Voice: End of messages. *BEEP*
Irvine: I'll call Ashley.
Irvine felt mad. He wasn't just mad, he was furious. ~I'll go out with Ashley and make Selphie feel bad! How could Selphie just do that to me!? She isn't supposed to do that! We're best friends.~ Irvine went on about Selphie until he realized that he did it first. That it was his entire fault. He was the one who asked out Ashley. He hurt Selphie first. He held up his cell phone to his ear. *Ring, ring*
Ashley: Hello?
Irvine: Hey this is Irvine.
Ashley: Hey Irvy! You got my messages?
Irvine: Yeah. I can do something tomorrow and after the dance. I'll come to your house tomorrow okay?
Ashley: Okay.
Irvine: Uhhh......... I'll see you tomorrow. I have something important to do.
Ashley: 'K. I love you.
Irvine: Same. Bye.
Ashley: Bye.
Irvine hung up and dialed Rinoa's number. A sleepy voice answered the phone.
Rinoa: Can I have a pepperoni pizza? Extra cheese please.
Irvine: Rinoa, this is Irvine.
Rinoa: Really? I know someone named Irvine too.........I'd really be interested in buying a pizza.
Irvine: RINOA! This is Irvine.
Rinoa: Huh!? Oh sorry. I had a dream about pizza.
Irvine: .........I got your call.
Rinoa: Cool. So you and Selphie gonna be friends?
Irvine: Yeah I guess. Can I talk to her?
Rinoa: Sure just a sec.
Rinoa covered the phone with her hand and called out Selphie's name.
Rinoa: Selphie! Phone!
Selphie: Coming. Hello?
Irvine: This is Irvine.
Selphie: Hi.
Irvine: Rinoa told me that you got a date for the dance on Friday.
Selphie: Yeah. He's really cute.
Irvine: That's nice.
Selphie: Yeah. I'm going to go now. Bye
Irvine: Bye.
Selphie handed the phone back to Rinoa.
Rinoa: Wow! You guys are great friends!
Irvine: No really.
Rinoa: I was being sarcastic.
Irvine: I hafta go.
Rinoa: Whatever. See ya.
Irvine: Bye.
Irvine tucked his cell phone in his pocket and strode out of his dorm.
*At Zell's house*
Rinoa was sitting in the chair at the computer, and Selphie was lying on her back on the bed. Rinoa put her cell phone in her purse and stood up.
Rinoa: I'm going for a walk.
Selphie: Okay.
Rinoa: Mrs. D is gone too, by the way.
Selphie: Okay.
Rinoa: Bye.
Selphie: Okay.
Rinoa: Aren't you gonna say bye?
Selphie: Bye.
Rinoa walked downstairs. Seeing Rinoa's cell phone sticking out of her purse, it reminded Selphie to check hers. ~Hmmm.........5 unread messages!!!~
Programmed Voice: You have 5 unread messages. Message 1 Monday 7:12 am. *BEEP*
Irvine: Sefie? Hi this is Irvine. I'm really sorry about the fight and stuff. I just called to apologize. See you at the dance.
Programmed Voice: Message 2 Monday 7:30 am. *BEEP*
Rinoa: Hiya Selphie. Irvine told me about the fight. I'm coming to stay with you. Bye.
Selphie deleted the two messages and listened to the rest.
Programmed Voice: Message 3 Monday 3:23 pm. *BEEP*
Zell: Yo Selphie. I was just calling to see how you're feeling. I'll see you at the dance! Call my number, 893-7256.
Programmed Voice: Message 4 Tuesday 8:33 am. *BEEP*
Quistis: Hi Selphie it's Quistis. Just calling to say "hi". You don't need to call back. Just wanted to say hi. See you later.
Programmed Voice: Message 5 Tuesday 7:11 pm.
Trevor: H-hi Selphie. This is Trevor from Ecko' Unlimited. I was just calling to make sure we're still going together. I got this number from Zell. Please call me back at 827-5858. See you.
Selphie called Zell on her phone.
Zell: Yo it's Zell.
Selphie: Hey it's Sefie.
Zell: Hi Selphie.
Selphie: Hi. I need to go bye.
Zell: See ya.
~That was the dumbest conversation I've ever had.........except for that one time with the rock. He was onto me. I could tell. The way he stared at me with those beady eyes.~ Selphie called Trevor.
Trevor: Hullo?
Selphie: Hi Trevor, this is Selphie.
Trevor: H-hi.
Selphie: Ummm.........I got your message, and yeah. It's still on. I'll see you later okay?
Trevor: Okay. See you on Friday.
Selphie: Bye!
Selphie reached over to put the cell phone on the desk, but she stopped herself and brought it back. She hesitantly dialed Irvine's number. *Ring, ring, ring, ring*
Selphie: C'mon Irvy! Pick up!
Irvine: Hi, this is Irvine. I'm not here to pick up the phone right now, so I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Leave a message! *BEEP*
Selphie: Irvy? This is Selphie. I'm sorry for the way I acted and stuff. I hope you can forgive me.........I'll see you at the dance. Buh-bye.
Selphie sighed and put the phone on the table. She heard the door downstairs burst open, and she heard Rinoa noisily take off her shoes and run upstairs. Selphie couldn't remember the last time anyone acted normal around her. They were all nice and caring towards her all of the time. They didn't quarrel in front of her and they didn't joke around like usual. Rinoa started acting like how she used to. Selphie couldn't remember the last time she laughed.
Selphie: How was it?
Rinoa: It was great.
Selphie: That's good.
Rinoa: Yeah. I got some Ice Cream. Want it? It's Vanilla.
Selphie: Sure. Thanks for getting it for me.
Rinoa: No problem! Wanna see what's on T.V.?
Selphie: Sure.
They turned on Zell's television and watched the reruns of /i. Selphie laughed and smiled again. Mrs. D came home a little while later.
Mrs. D: Hey girls! How was your day?
Selphie: It was good.
Rinoa: Yeah. Went shopping.
Rinoa held up a shopping bag.
Mrs. D: That's nice. I got some waffles you guys can eat tomorrow morning. I'm going to be gone all day, so I'm going to turn in.
Rinoa: Okay. Thanks! Good night!
Selphie: Good night.
Mrs. D: Same to you!
Mrs. D walked downstairs into her new room. Selphie and Rinoa watched a few more episodes until Selphie broke the silence.
Selphie: I'm kinda tired. I'm going to sleep.
Rinoa: Same here.
They both got ready for bed, and when they finally turned the lights out, the stars glowed brightly outside.
Selphie: Isn't it beautiful?
Rinoa: Yeah.
Rinoa fell asleep some time later, but Selphie stayed up looking at the stars. Right before she fell asleep, she saw a shooting star. She wondered if she imagined it.
*Back at Balamb Garden*
Irvine's footsteps echoed in the empty halls. He didn't know where he was going; only that he didn't want to stay here. He passed Selphie's empty dorm, and he saw it was cracked open. Irvine uncertainly opened the door and walked inside. He went over to Selphie's bed, and he laid down on it. He realized that there was something hard under her pillow. He stuck his hand underneath and felt some sort of book. He pulled it out from under, and he read the words on the cover. "Selphie's Diary". He lightly touched the cover of the book, and then opened it. ~I shouldn't be doing this.........~ Irvine flipped to the last page that was filled in. He was startled by a sudden noise. He roughly stuck the book back under the pillow, but he ripped out the last page on accident.
Quistis: Irvine?
Irvine: H-hello Quistis.
Quistis: What are you doing?
Irvine: I couldn't sleep. What are you doing here?
Quistis: Well the door was completely open, so I could kinda tell someone was in here.
Irvine blushed then scratched his head. He stood up and walked towards Quistis.
Irvine: Hahaha. I'll be going now. Good night Quisty.
Quistis: Good night Irvy.
Irvine and Quistis walked out the door, and Quistis locked it behind her. She walked towards her dorm, and Irvine walked towards his. He opened his door and saw the lights were off. He peeked in Zell's room, where he was sleeping on his stomach. Irvine bent down to check the PS2. ~Hey! This IS my PS2! It wasn't Squalls!~ Irvine reached over and poked Zell in the stomach, then ran into his room. He closed the door and locked it. Irvine sat on his bed and turned on the table lamp next to the picture of himself and Selphie. He gazed at the picture and remembered when Squall took it. It was outside by the front gates, and it was on a bright sunny day. Right before Squall took the picture, Selphie took Irvine's hat and placed it on his head. Irvine smiled. He then realized he was clutching something in his left hand.
Irvine: Huh?
It was the piece of paper from Selphie's diary. ~Well since I have it, I guess I'll take a look.~ He unfolded it and started reading.
A/N: Is this story going anywhere?!?! I don't know either. See ya!
