So folks! I re-edited it and i hope this version better! Again I do not own FF8 characters!
"Xu, send Commander Leonhart and Instructor Trepe here now," Cid requested his secretary. He was quite fond of her. She had, astonishingly, sorted out all his files in a period of three weeks, an extraordinary feat.
"Yes, headmaster," Xu replied machinelike. She wondered what her best friend would be in for now.
Will Quistis Trepe and Commander Leonhart please report to the headmaster's office please?
"Oh, Rinoa. I guess you'll just have to go without me," Quistis sighed and stood up.
"Perhaps could I get you something?" Rin smiled as she walked out of the bathroom, wearing a pair of baggy sweats and a baggy tank top. "Yeah, haven't you realized that you're taller than me?" The tall blonde chuckled slightly at Rinoa's appearance.
"Just get me a salad okay?" Quistis shut the door behind her and both women started towards the main hall.
"THAT"S ALL YOU'RE GONNA EAT?" Rinoa shouted, worried that she had an anorexic beside her. Without thinking, she added, "Is anorexia contagious?"
Quistis laughed at this statement. "No, Rinoa. Of course I'm not anorexic! I just don't need a lot of energy."
"Whatever…" the sorceress joked. Both burst once more into laughter. This was certainly a side of Quisty she had never seen. Rinoa liked it and continued her way towards the cafeteria.
The Instructor walked in the elevator and pressed the 3rd floor button. She waited patiently for the doors to close, when suddenly a pair of hands pushed them open once more. She gasped, dropped her books and almost fainted in her astonishment. She stuttered weakly, "A-Almasy? What in the name of Hyne are you doing here?"
The ex-knight casually strode in and the doors finally closed shut. "Nice to see you too, Trepe," he shot back. He looked at her and knew that she hadn't changed at all. Ironed uniform, polished shoes and straightened tie; the woman was the symbol of professionalism. Normally, he would have called her class of people "geeks", but he knew that she was everything but a geek. "For your information, I reapplied."
"YOU WHAT?" Quistis shouted, still in disbelief. He betrayed all of them for the Sorceress and, in spite of everything; he expected to be welcomed with open arms by the Garden population. He's either insane or really desperate, thought Quistis. If what he said was true, then she really hoped that he changed his attitude and hopefully deflated his head. She had to admit that, amazingly, he hadn't smirked at her yet. Although she knew he was more mature, nothing could have prepared her for the depth of what he said next.
"Quistis, can you forgive me?" he asked seriously, looking at her deeply. "I know I must have caused you and the rest of the gang a lot of pain, and I just want to apologise… I really regret my actions and I hope you can understand what I went through. I didn't mean it, I-I" Quistis was about to scream "impostor". She hyperventilated, clutching her chest. This is not the Seifer I know, it's a lost man searching for forgiveness…As much as I don't want to admit it, but I miss the Seifer I once knew and liked… "I forgive you Seifer."
"Thank you, Quistis. You don't know how much that means to me," he grinned awkwardly and held out his hand. She gladly shook it and then both stooped down to pick up her books. They finished the task just as the elevator bell chimed.
"You're welcome, Seifer," she smiled warmly at him. "And do try to lighten up a bit. I'm starting to miss the old smirking Seifer." She walked out and reached the office door. " Well, are you coming?"
Seifer shrugged, but concealed a grin, and followed his childhood friend inside where his destiny would be decided.
I promise Seifer will be back to his original self in the following chapters! Read and Review pleeeeeeeeeeeaaassseeee!
