Garnet sat at her desk in her Study hall. Already two days and she hated it at this school. At least some of the girls stopped taunting like Ruby and her friends.... but the others just wouldn't. Garnet remembered her talk with her mother earlier.

"Mother please.... They know!" Garnet begged. Her mother had visited to check on her, And Garnet was trying to get her mother to take her home.

"Garnet I am truly sorry but I cant, there are no more schools that I can take you to." Her mother told. Garnet had gotten really mad after that.

"Grrr.... You just don't care about me, you're happier when I'm gone! That's why you don't want to take me back!" After saying that Garnet stormed off. Although she was mad, she knew the words she had just spoken weren't true.

"Ok please make your way to your next class." A teacher said as the period ended. The class filed out. Garnet made her way to her one favorite class, Music. She didn't know why she liked it so much but she really enjoyed it."

"Everyone take your seats! This period you will all be split into partners to work on your first music Project." After a minuet of groans and moans the teacher began to assign the partners. She handed a paper to Garnet saying who her partner was. 'Oh no' Garnet thought.

"Hey partner!" Garnet lifted her head and saw her 'partner.' Zidane Tribal. He sat down next to her as the teacher explained the project. It was nothing special, just researching some musician.

"Alrrrrriiiiiiiiggggght we have...some dead guy.... Fun!" Zidane said sarcastically making Garnet laugh a little.

"YOU SMILLED!" He blurted out after. Garnet looked down. "You know, you look a lot prettier when you smile." Garnet smiled and he smiled back.

"How was school?" Cid questioned. "Fine." Garnet said dryly.

"I Heard you have to do a Project." Hilda said.

"Yes I do."

"With a partner?"

"Yes."

"Ok well, when do you plan on working on it?" Hilda asked.

"Well seeing I cant go anywhere I guess I will work on it at school." Garnet answered.

"Since it is a project... I guess you can work on it here."

"Ok," Garnet said. "Can I go now?" She asked. Cid and Hilda nodded.

It was about three days later and Zidane and Garnet where working on the project in the Lindblum castle library. "This is soooo boring." Garnet muttered.

"You're telling me." Zidane said closing his book.

"Hey Garnet."

"Yes?" Garnet looked up smiling.

"Do you wanna go out and get a drink...or something?" Zidane asked. Garnets smile suddenly turned into a frown.

"what....did I say something wrong?" Zidane asked.

"Oh no, no, no, no, I'm sorry I cant because of...the rules." Garnet looked down.

"What rules?" Zidane had a confused look on his face.

"I m not aloud to go anywhere out of the castle because of something I did...." Garnet told Zidane.

"Well what if a guard comes with us?" He asked. He didn't seem to be to excited about that idea.

"It wouldn't hurt." Garnet said getting up.

"Fine... just stay in the guards view." Hilda said after a while of begging. 'YES' Garnet thought. 'Wait!' she began to think everything over. 'You have to remember what happened the last time you did this?' She questioned herself.

"Something wrong?" Zidane asked as they walked out of the castle.

"N-nothing." She muttered.

"Well, well, If it isn't little Garnet?" A voice mocked. Garnet's eyes grew wide as she recognized the voice and began to turn around.
