Feeling too tired to do anything about the tests, she left them on the table and exited the classroom. It had been another, very boring day in the life of a teacher.
"Geez, why did I ever ask my instructor license back?" she thought.
Even though she hated to admit it, she missed their adventures. All the travelling, seeing new places, living in constant danger and being able to face horrible enemies... it was something great compared to teaching. It felt like all the students were clones of each others: there was always at least one bully and one nerd in the class. Oh, and a bunch of drooling Trepies.
"Maybe I should quit Garden?" she muttered quietly while stepping on the elevator which brought her to the first floor. "Nah. What else do I have?"
Sad but true. She felt like being trapped in a place that had lost its meaning, and she wasn't completely wrong about that. There was no real meaning for Garden anymore, now when there wasn't a threat of a sorceress taking over the world anymore, although Garden had never had much to do with defeating Ultimecia in the first place, because in the end it had been just her, Squall, Rinoa and the others who finished her off.
Squall and Rinoa - deeply in love. Selphie and Irvine - the same thing. She was the only one of their team who wasn't dating anyone. Well, except Zell, but he didn't seem to care about being single. Probably the only thing that mattered to him were hot dogs. On some lonely nights she had wished that she had someone beside her, someone she could trust and who she could depend on.
Feeling like she was getting too sad, Quistis tried to reject the depressing thoughts from her mind as she arrived in her room. After closing the door and taking off boots she scretched her arms and took a nice position on the bed, trying to get some sleep. But before that she decided one thing:
"I gotta get rid of teaching before it kills me."
