Chapter Two
Meeting the Gang
I followed Selphie into the cafeteria. We took a seat at the table to the left of the line where there were already two people sitting there. A guy and a girl, both grading papers. I suddenly realized that the guy was the one from the hallway earlier. The girl however was new to me. She had long brown hair with one green eye and one, blue eye (note: Just like Yuna! I'm sorry I love the eyes like that its awesome)
"Arina this is Kataya Volkova. She's a new History instructor here." the brunette glanced up from her papers as she said
"Hello."
Just then, a blond dude came over carrying about 4 different trays.
"Okay we got….ewww Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza for Kataya." he set the tray in front of her. (Note: Becomes Evil that's my favorite kind of pizza so do not diss it you do you die vermin! becomes happy again Just kidding!)
"Hamburger for Squall." he sat the tray down in front of the male brunette, who didn't even look up from his papers as he took a bite out of the hamburger.
"Salad for Selphie" he handed the tray to Selphie.
"And hotdogs for Zell. Thank you Zell." he thanked himself and began scarfing down hotdogs, until he noticed me.
(Note: okay b4 I go on I just want to make a small disclaimer: I do not own the line "thank you Zell" I read it in a fic called 'dedicated to you' By : Tinforever so I advises everyone to check that out)
"You didn't tell me that we would be having company." Zell said around a mouth full of hotdog. I dug around in my bag and pulled out a bag of chips. They were for the train in case I got hungry but I didn't so what the hell eats 'em not is my idea.
"Hi I'm Arina, I'm new.
"What's the Delio i'm Zell Dincht." he said shoving yet another hotdog in his mouth.
(Note: sorry I talk so much but please don't make fun of Zell saying Delio because I say delio don't I Lauren?)
"Anyways, this is squall Leonhart. He teaches math… even though we had to tutor him through it." Selphie laughed.
Zell looked down at squall and whistled in his face.
"Yo, professor you with us?" Squall didn't even look up from his paperwork when he replied,
"No. I'm with this huge stack of upgraded papers due at 3 o'clock"
But when she replied he kind of snapped Zell's hand off, NOT LITERALLY! But anyways Zell came back with a comment of his own
"Damn squall. I'm glad Rinoa isn't here to see you being so mean." Zell must have said the wrong thing because squall was up and over that table so fast it made my head spin. Again not literally. Squall Grabbed Zell by the collar and punched him in the face. He managed to do it about 3 more times before Kataya pulled him off of Zell. Zell just laid there, nose bleeding and his shirt? Rather wrinkled. Squall picked up his stuff and left the cafeteria.
"I'm really sorry you had to see that side of Squall so soon." Selphie apologized as Zell sat back at the table and used a napkin to clean the blood off his face.
"What'd I say?" he asked
"How about I don't know….. HER NAME!" Selphie ended off in a yell. Zell looked as if he hadn't realized he said until she did.
"Who is she to him?" I asked. It was a touchy subject but I wanted to know.
"Rinoa Hartilly. She was Squall's Fiancé. She passed away about to months ago" Selphie explained. I could tell she was sad about it too. They must have been friends
"Oh, i'm sorry I shouldn't have brought it up." I replied.
"It's alright, just keeping it on the down low around Squall; you see Arina Squall used to be fun… but now? not so much, but he's still our friend no matter how much her pisses us off." Zell explained like he was Mr. Know-It-All.
"Wow, you must really care about him." I said. He looked away and nodded. (Note: keep that in mind. it's my crappy attempt at foreshadowing that will come into play later)
I watched as Kataya put her papers away. She must have finished grading them.
"What about you." I asked
"Me? Oh I just transferred from Timber Yesterday. It seem Balmb Garden needed a new instructor so the called Me." she replied happily.
"I'm from deling city." I said
"IM FROM BALAMB!" Zell said proudly and happily
"Trabia." Selphie looked up.
"Cooliosis. Look I got to go see Squall about how behind I am so ill sees all of you later." (Note: I also say cooliosis) I got up and walked as quickly as I could to the elevator and took it to the second floor. I ran down the hallway to Squall's classroom. The automatic doors slid to the side to let me in. He was at his desk, headphone-clad, grading papers.
"ummm…excuse me?" he looked up and pulled the headphones down.
"I came to talk to you about my assignments." I said nervously.
"oh. Okay well…ummm… don't worry about it you studied inequalities at your old school right?"
"Yes." I replied.
"Then you're not that behind. Besides tomorrow the SeeD exam. Are you going to take it?" he asked.
"Yeah that's why I'm here. You see my old school had the entire requirement to take it but not the exam itself." I explained.
"Cool well ill sees you tomorrow then
"Right tomorrow. BYE!" I said happily and ran out of the room toward my dorm room. If only I knew the surprise that was waiting for me there…
Illyria's note: Well what did you think? Sorry these first few chapters are really short. I want to know what all of you think about Squall being an instructor. Well got to go bells about to ring!
Illyria…out!
