Chapter VII

Zell woke up alone. He looked around, searching for Seifer. "Seifer?" He whispered softly, wondering where the blonde was.

"Zell?"

The blonde turned and looked at the small brunette girl. "Selphie, Seifer's gone."

Selphie frowned, looking at the empty bed. "Maybe he's talking to Matron?" She bit her lip.

Zell nodded and left the bedroom. He shivered from the cold. "Seifer?" He whispered, hoping he would find the older boy. He made his way down the beach and frowned when he saw someone sitting in the sand. "Seifer!" He ran towards the boy, smiling.

"Zell, what are you doing here..."

The blonde smiled. "I was looking for you."

Seifer started laughing and looked up at him. "Why?"

Zell frowned and sat down next to him. "Because I like you, remember?"

Seifer shook his head, looking up at the sky. "You shouldn't." He whispered.

"Huh?"

The taller blonde turned towards Zell, glaring at him. "You know Zell, I don't even like you that much." Seifer said. "You are kind of annoying..."

Zell frowned, biting his lip. "You don't mean that."

"Yes I do." Seifer told him and got up. "I mean...look at you...why would I like you."

The smaller blonde pouted, tears filling his eyes. "I hate you Seifer!" He cried and ran away.

Seifer turned around. "Guess that's for the best." He whispered looking at the crumbled letter in his hand.

Seifer looked at the group, leaning against the car. Zell wasn't there...

"We will miss you." Matron said, holding Squall's hand. "Right Squall?"

Squall shrugged. "Whatever."

Seifer grinned looking at the brunette. "If I see you again I'll kick your ass for this moment."

The brunette nodded. "You do that."

Selphie pouted. "Zell will miss you too." She said.

Seifer shook his head getting into the car. "Nah, he won't."

Zell let himself fall in the flower field, closing his eyes. He pulled his legs close, resting his head on them. "I still really like you Seifer." He sobbed. "Even if you hate me..."
