Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of the characters featured in the story no matter how much I wish they were mine. Squaresoft does. Sob..

(Where am I? I know I've been here before but when? Who is that little adorable child who is running down the cliff? He seems familiar, but . I am quite sure I'd never seen him before. Who are you? What are you trying to tell me..)
'Slam!' I awoke with a start. Drat. It's just my dictionary. Just as I was picking the book up, I heard a familiar sarcastic voice say, "My, my aren't we sleepy this morning. Didn't my favourite Instructor get her beauty sleep? God, she's so hardworking marking her test papers. or was she up thinking about her ex-prize student Commander Leonhart?"

*Damn. Just who I wanted to see. can't he just leave me alone. Why did Cid re-admit him to Balamb Garden anyway?*

"I believe you have a test about 'Junctioning of GFs' tommorow. I'm sure you want to pass the SeeD exam this year. You can't afford to fail this year. It is common knowledge that Garden doesn't keep overaged students and you know that."

I felt a wave of satisfaction hit me when his face lost some of its confidence. Revenge is so sweet. Too bad the confidence only disappeared for like one milisecond.

"Gosh, I'm so touched that my Instructor actually still cares whether I graduate or not. I thought that she only had eyes for her 'pet' Leonhart. Too bad that he's already taken by Rinoa."

Keep it down, keep it down, that bastard's just trying to annoy me. I'm not going to use my 'Save the Queen' and silence him once and for all because it is gonna cost me my licence. I worked so hard to get it back and I'm not gonna lose it. Ever. So I decided to ignore him and continue with my marking.

'Ah.Looks like my precious Instructor is giving me the cold shoulder again. Have I just touched a raw nerve???"

I'll just ignore him. Saves me my energy, saliva and time.

"Well, looks like I may have to wait till the end of my life before my dear, sweet Instructor agrees to go to the Fire Cavern and complete the test."

I couldn't avoid answering. "Well, are you ready in the first place?"

"Finally you opened up your mouth and answered me. Obviously, yes, I'm prepared for the test. That's why I came to you anyway."

Damn him. "Well, Mr Almasy, can you at least wait till I finish stacking up my papers before I come with you to give dear Ifrit a visit? Or are you so desperate to die?"

"Then hurry up, Instructor. At the rate you are going, Ifrit would be asleep by the time we walk out of Garden."

I didn't bother replying to that. Why is he such a pain in the neck anyway? I packed my stuff into my drawers and picked up my 'Save the Queen'. "Let's go."

"Finally. I thought the sun would have set by the time you are ready. Have you checked you inventory? I've no intention of using my items on you, Instructor."

I simply ignored him and went out of the classroom.
