Quistis Trepe sat alone in the Quad of Balamb Garden. It seemed that was how it always was... she was always alone, "the loner." It's kind of funny now to think of herself with that title, seeing as how just a few months prior, Squall was always the one labeled as such. But now...it was hard to even find him alone.
He was always with her.
Of course, Quistis had no problem with Rinoa. On the contrary, they were very good friends. It was just the fact that you could never get a private moment with Squall, because she was always around.
Quistis didn't mind the fact that Squall had fallen in love with Rinoa. She was actually quite happy for them. She was also happy for Selphie and Irvine, and Zell and Marie. (The girl with the pigtails.) She was the only one in "the orphanage gang" that was always alone.
She dreaded going to lunch everyday. Not because of the food, or the people. She dreaded going to lunch because she'd have to sit there every day, eating her salad, watching all the happy couples do silly things like tickle each other, or feed each other, and all those other ridiculous "couple-things."
Quistis jerked out of her reverie as she heard muffled giggles coming from the entrance to the Quad. She turned around to see Selphie and Irvine half- stumbling their way in, with their faces glued to each other, and Selphie, barely audibly, giggling through it all.
Quistis sighed and stood up, clearing her throat. "Couldn't you two get a room or something?"
The pair quickly pulled apart, apparently noticing her presence for the first time. Selphie quickly put her hands behind her back. "Heh...uh, hey Quisty!" She giggled nervously. "We uh...didn't know anybody was in here!"
Irvine tipped his cowboy hat to her sheepishly. "Hey Quistis. We were just uh..."
Quistis cut him off. "You don't have to make excuses, Irvine. It's quite obvious what you were doing. You two have fun, I was just on my way out," she said with a smirk as she walked past them and out the door.
She walked through the halls, not exactly sure of her destination. Being as bored as she was, she decided to take the scenic route back to her dorm. She stopped by the Infirmary to stop in and see Doctor Kadowaki, who seemed happy to see her. "Quistis, it's so great to see you! I could really use your help!" She motioned to the rooms opposite her desk. "You see, a few students were training in the training center, and ran into a bit of trouble with a T- Rexaur, leaving just me to take care of all of them. Could you be a dear and bandage up that one for me?" She pointed to the first room. "I just need you to fix up a few cuts here and there."
Quistis looked towards the room Dr. Kadowaki had indicated. "Sure, no problem." She grabbed some bandages and antibiotics from the cabinet opposite Dr. Kadowaki's desk, and walked into the room.
The ex-instructor's eyes widened at the site of the person who lay before her.
[Author's Notes]: Sorry if it sucked! And I know it's short. I'm a new author, trying my hand at fanfiction, after finally being persuaded by my cousin. (Some people might know her as SelphieBabe) But anyways, reviews are VERY much appreciated! I should be updating this story quite often, so if you like it, then keep checking in! Thanks guys!
