Chapter 4:

"She was your mother? I'm sorry; I didn't mean to-" Selphie
apologized.
"Don't be! You didn't know." Rinoa calmly told her.
"Wait, why is your last name Heartily? Wasn't your mother married?
What's the story behind her death? Tell me everything." Selphie asked.

Rinoa looked down. "Ready for a long story?"
Selphie nodded. "I have all the time in the world"
"Here goes nothing. Well, my mother's stage name was Julia Heartily.
She married a man named...General Caraway. Her first album "Eyes On
Me" went platinum and was a huge success. She and the general married,
and a while later I was born. She continued to release music, and a
couple days before my fifth birthday, her newest album went platinum
ten times. She went out with her friends to celebrate..." Rinoa paused
for a moment, then continued. "They had a big party, with tons of
alcohol. She had a little too much to drink and... She drove straight
off a bridge. Her body wasn't found until a day later. The general had
just assumed she had partied all night long but..." Rinoa sat down for
a second. Selphie gave her a sympathetic look.
"The general always was a mean man and always drank, but when my
mother died, he did it more than usual. I grew up with him like that,
and it went unnoticed until I was older and started getting in
trouble. I was taken from him when I was about 14 and was sent to
boarding school across the country. I eventually ended up getting
kicked out, and was sent to many different schools, one of them where
I met Kristin. I got into the Galbadian School of the Arts, partly
because they like the way I sang and danced, and partly because of who
my parents were. I got kicked out of there recently, as you already
know, for being caught in a room full of empty bottles of Jack Daniels
and Speed. Juvenile court decided that I was to have one last chance
and attend Balamb Garden, and they let me live with my mother's
friend, since she lived in Balamb. So the reason I changed my name too
Rinoa Heartily was because I resent the general and want nothing to do
with him. How he's still general of an entire army confuses the hell
out of me." Rinoa said as she finally finished her story.
"Wow" was all Selphie could say.
"Anyways, what time is it?" Rinoa asked.
"It's 6.00," She answered.
"Uhh! There's still four hours before we go! I don't know if I can go
that long without seeing Squall! He's so cute!" Rinoa squealed.
"Haha! You guys would make a cute couple." Selphie said.
"You really think? I don't know if he likes me though. I mean, why
would he?" Rinoa asked.
"Tell me your joking. There are too many reasons to why it's obvious
he does. Reason number one: He barely talks to us, and you get into
actual conversations with him!
Reason number two: He never goes out to places like the Riot Room.
Reason number three: He never and I mean never smiles, and he starts
to smile at the sound of your name.
Reason number four: He gets all-nervous around you. He's the kind of
guy who always has to act like the cool bad ass.
The last reason is that there are a lot of girls that like him, and
he's never shown any interest in them, he doesn't even say hi when
they talk to him. He doesn't comment on them when some asks him about
that chick that likes him. Now, promise you won't tell a soul I told
you this, but..." Selphie told her.
"I promise, now tell me!" Rinoa said dying from the suspense.
Selphie continued, "Well, I was in class and I sit behind Squall.
Irvine and Squall were talking with a couple other guys about
something when your name came up. Of course Squall started to blush.
One of the guys said 'That new chick, Rinoa I think, is really hot.'
and all of the guys, including Squall agreed. When he said that he had
this stupid grin on his face. Here's the best part! Kristin sat beside
one of the guys and she got an insane look of jealousy on her face. It
was so great. She thinks she's so hot. Anyway she was all like, 'Rinoa
Heartily is just a slut'. All the guys looked at her and Squall said
'your just jealous 'cause no one finds you attractive.' it was
hilarious. Everyone who heard that started to crack up, including me."

"Are you serious? Wow, that's a self-esteem booster. But, I dunno..."
"What do you mean?" Selphie asked curiously.
"What if he only likes me cause he thinks I'm easy?" Rinoa asked
"He doesn't! He's not like that at all. You guys have stuff in common
too. Rinoa, as your best friend, I'm telling you that he is totally in
too you. Trust me." Selphie told her.
"Awww, thank you Selphie, you the best!" Rinoa said.
"No problem!" Selphie said as she looked at her watch. "Hey it's 7:00.
We've been talking for an hour! Now all we have to do is do something
for another three hours and were on our way!"
Rinoa got an evil grin on her face "Hey Selphie..."
"W-Why are you looking at me like that? What are you planning?"
Selphie said
"If were using fake ID's to get in, you can't go dressed like a little
school girl." She said, "I think you need a make-over."

Squall and Zell were watching TV when suddenly Zell asked, "So, do you
like, like Rinoa?"
"Yeah she's cool." He answered simply
Zell glared at him. "Come on, you know what I mean. I've seen the way
you look at her. You got a crush on her, don't ya?" Zell teased.
Squall started to blush. "Whatever..."
"HA! You do! This is great! I never though I'd see the day when Squall
Leonhart would fall in love!" He shouted.
"Zell, I never said I was in love." Squall said.
"Sure, sure." Zell said smugly.
"Whatever. I'm gonna take a shower." Squall told him as he got up off
the couch.
"I think you need to take a cold one Squall!" He shouted.
As Squall turned the corner, Zell saw him give a one-fingered solute.

As Squall got dressed, he looked at his watch. '9:20. another 40
minutes.' He thought.
He walked out in the living room where Zell was still watching
cartoons. And he wasn't just watching any cartoon. He was watching
Pokemon!
"So, Zell, what is this episode about" Squall asked
"This is the one where Ash has to fight Sabrina, but he has to get a
ghost Pokemon, because her and her poke- Ahhh! I was just flipping
through the stations! There was nothing on! I used to watch this show
when I was little! I saw this episode when I was baby sitting!" Zell
shouted
"Sure, sure. They should be here in ten minutes anyway." He told Zell
"Oh yeah. So where are we going again?" Zell questioned
"Were going to the place where Rinoa's aunt plays. The Riot Room, I
think it's called." Squall told him.
Eventually the channel was turned and they ended up watching a weird
show called "Shingo Mama".
"That is a man in drag." Zell said
"I think it's supposed to be an angel." Squall told him
"That is a man in drag." Zell repeated
"It's just a television show..." Squall told him.
"That is a man in drag." Zell said once more.
"Zell, when they get hear, you and Selphie can sit in back." He
commanded.
"I wonder why." He said sarcastically "Fine."

"Rinoa!" Selphie shouted, "We have to leave! Hurry up!"
"Ok, ok, I'm ready. Hey, I told you that's your color. And that shirt
looks hot on you!" Rinoa said
"Oh, thank you. And thanks for not dressing me like a total skank."
She replied
"No problem. Your a good girl." Rinoa said. 'But not for long....' She
whispered to herself.
"Now lets go! Wouldn't want to keep them waiting." Rinoa joked.

They walked across the street and up to the large house. Rinoa rang
the doorbell and Squall opened the door.
"Hey Squall!" She said coyly
Squall blushed "Hey. Are you guys ready?"
"Of course. Let's go." She told him. As soon as she finished her
sentence a large dog came running towards her.
Squall grabbed the dog by the collar before he could knock her to the
ground.
"Oh, your dog is so cute!" She said scratching behind his ears.
"What's his name?" The dog wagged his tail.
"Clash" Squall answered. "Hmm, He usually doesn't like
strangers...hey, we should probably get going now."
The group headed to the car. Squall jumped in the drivers seat, and
Selphie and Zell immediately jumped in the back, leaving only one
place left for Rinoa.
"So, Rinoa, where is this place again?" Squall asked
"It's 1631 Sunrise Boulevard, next to the Maternity shop. Go figure."
She said as she picked up Squall CD case. She looked through it until
she saw one she wanted to put in.
"Hey Squall, do you mind if I put a CD on?" She asked
"Go ahead." He told her.
"Ok." She took out the Nine Inch Nails CD and put it in the player.
Zell and Selphie looked at each other and Zell whispered, "They're so
weird"
Selphie nodded in agreement.
Rinoa looked back at them and asked, "What are you guys saying?"
"Uhh, we were just you turn it up?" Zell asked
"Hmm." Rinoa said giving them a weird look, "Fine."
"Now that they can't hear us," Zell whispered to Selphie "we can talk
about them."
"Yeah! Rinoa is sooooo into Squall, but she keeps telling me that he
isn't interested in her. She so insecure..." Selphie told him.
"Dude! Today I was asking Squall if he, you know, like liked her and
he started to blush. Every time someone even mentions her name he gets
this stupid look on his face. It's funny as hell." Zell finished his
sentence just as the car came to a halt. Rinoa turned off the music
and unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Okay you guys," She shouted as she opened her handbag "Here are your
fake ID's."
Zell took his and examined it. "Hey, this looks real! Thanks!" He
said.
"Don't thank me, thank Roko." She told them.

The group walked into the club as they looked for an empty table.
Rinoa searched the building for Faye. It wasn't quiet crowded yet, but
would be soon. "Hey guys, I'm gonna step out side for a second." She
told her friends. They nodded and she left.
"Rinoa!" She heard a familiar voice calling her.
'No...' She thought. Reluctantly, she turned around
"Rinoa, what are you doing here? I haven't seen you for a while..."
The man said.
Rinoa cringed and put on a fake smile. "Hi Seifer..."
"You know, it's been along time Rinoa. I haven't stopped thinking
about you." He said.
She looked down. "Really, so who's name were you screaming when you
were doing Beverly?" She asked in a bitchy tone.
He turned his head and answered, "You know that was just a fling. I
was confused. I love you all along, I just had to make sure that I
really did."
She smirked. "That's bullshit. If you really loved me, you never would
have done the things you did."
"I told you I was sorry. I didn't mean that stuff. Come on Rinoa,
please forgive me..." He said apologetically.
Rinoa had to look away. She felt tears coming on, but pushed them
back. "Last time this happened to us, you went and screwed me over
again. You expect me to go through the same shit, over and over?"
Seifer rolled his eyes "Look Rin, I know you won't find anyone else
out there. They don't want you because they love you; they want you
because you're easy." he said coldly as he grabbed her by the
shoulder.
"Since when the hell do you know anything about love Almasy?" A deep
voice said from behind Rinoa.
"What the fuck are you doing here, Leonhart?" Seifer said in an angry
tone, letting go of Rinoa.
"I'm here with Rinoa." Squall answered putting his arm around her. She
smiled at the warmth of his body and decided to play along.
Seifer looked shocked at first and then irritated. "Rinoa, what the
fuck are you doing with this guy? You don't even know him, he could be
a complete psycho."
"The only psycho I see here is you Seifer." She answered.
Seifer gave her a cold stare. If looks could kill, she would have been
dead. "This is the same old bull, Rin. Once he gets tired of screwing
you, you'll come crawling back. You always do." He said as he walked
away. He purposely rammed shoulders with Squall on the way out.
Squall and Rinoa walked back inside. "Are you gonna be okay?" Squall
asked considerately.
She looked up at him into his clear blue eyes and smiled. "I'll be
just fine. Thanks."
