Chapter 12:
What it's worth
Garnet flopped down on her cabin bed, sighing heavily.
Should a queen feel this way?
Well, she didn't care. Queens didn't matter to her right now. It was the dagger inside, that made her feel good.
A few seconds later, Eiko Carol, threw open the door shouting,
"THAT WAS THE BEST DANCE EVER!!"
She giggled uncontrollably, sitting down next to Garnet,
"Well?"
She inquired, smirking. Garnet shrugged, blushing. Eiko put a "thumbs up" sign,
"Is he a good kisser?"
Oh yeah.
"W-what!? How am I supposed to reply to that?"
Garnet asked, embarrassed. Eiko hugged onto Garnet,
"Usually you would say yes, or no!!"
She chirped, she was smiling oddly.
Since when did she care about Zidane and my feelings.. anyway??
A puzzled look crept upon Garnet's face. Just then, the phone rang loudly. (Yes, they have phone's too.) Eiko rushed up to it, picking it up, anxiously,
"Hello!!?? ....."
Eiko put the phone down, and pointed at Garnet, handing the phone over.
"H-Hello?"
Garnet asked, biting her lower lip.
"Hiya, Garnet!"
This voice could belong to the one... the only...
ZIDANE TRIBAL!
"Oh. Hi Zidane."
Garnet said, sighing.
How did he get my number?
"What's up?"
Zidane asked.
"Well. I just have one question; how did you get my number?"
Garnet answered.
"Oh, I looked it up in the "Old Ye Numbers"."
Zidane laughed,
"I mean.. the eh, phone book."
Garnet rolled her eyes,
"So. Is there something you .. want?"
She asked, getting straight to the point.
"Maybe another smooch or two?"
Zidane interpreted. Garnet sighed,
Back to the old Zidane again?
Zidane chuckled,
"I'm kiddin'. I just called to ask you something."
He said, laughing. Garnet tapped on the old desk,
"Will you go out with me?'
Zidane asked. It was a serious question, no doubt. Garnet could feel her heart beating fast, then.. it skipped a beat. Eiko was watching her carefully, eyes glued.
Go out? With Zidane? Oh dear.
Garnet looked down, and stopped tapping the old desk.
"............ Maybe."
She said, and before Zidane could reply, she hung up. Eiko greeted her, jumping up and down,
"Whelp!? What happened!?"
She asked.
Nothing?
"Zidane and I talked."
Garnet lied, hoping to fool Eiko. Eiko stopped jumping,
"Oh..."
She walked into the bathroom. A few minutes later, she pounced on Garnet,
"ABOUT WHAT!?"
She asked, yelping like someone just stepped on her foot.
"The dance."
Garnet replied.
*~*
"Two more days.. two more days.."
Garnet looked at Kuja. This was getting quite maddening. It was time for "camp choir", and everyone was pooped. Garnet was standing in a line waiting for Mrs. Harper to assign them seats. To her luck, she was seated by Kuja, and Amarant.
How dull.
In the front of them, sat Zidane, Lani, and Squall. Zidane was getting a bit nerve wracking, talking off the wall. Kuja, definitely rubbed it in.
"Obviously little Zidane has some friends. Very eccentric isn't it?"
What's eccentric is that I have to sit by two fags.
"Shut up, Kuja."
Zidane grumbled, and continued on with his conversation. When they went to go get music folders, Zidane caught Garnet off guard. Right in the behind.
"ZIDANE!!"
Garnet shouted.
"H-Hey, I was just--"
Zidane was interrupted by Squall's "you idiotic bastard" look.
"I wanted to know if you'd go out with me?"
Zidane said, rapidly, giving Squall a crazy look reply. Garnet swallowed,
"If you do that, then I definitely won't go out with you."
She explained. Zidane walked back with her,
"Hey. It's just you got one of those grabby asses."
He said. Kuja noticed the conversation,
"HA! Zidane asked the princess out? How stupid! I can't believe you did, Zidane! What a bas--"
Kuja was cut off by Mrs. Harper's evil glare. He swallowed hard, and then sat down.
"Today. I'm going to announce you to a new student.."
Mrs. Harper said, getting everyone's attention.
"Her name's Noelle."
Everyone stared blankly at the new face. Noelle had bleached blonde hair, light blue eyes, and had faded eyebrows. She was wearing jeans, with a long white shirt that entitled Abercrombie. Garnet noticed Zidane's eyes popping out of his face.
It's sick, how guys can just go like cartoons, isn't it?
"Noelle. You will be sitting by Rinoa."
Noelle smiled at the class, and then headed towards the seat Mrs. Harper was pointing to.
*~*
After camp choir, Garnet headed back to her cabin. A knock grew her suspicious. She ran towards the door, and faced Rinoa Heartilly.
Rinoa?
"Rinoa? What's the matter?"
Garnet asked, worriedly. Rinoa walked into the cabin,
"I have to be partnered up with that new girl. Her name's Noelle."
She murmured.
"What's wrong with that?"
Garnet asked. Rinoa beamed at Garnet,
"Duh. Look at her! And I thought I was the bomb shell here!"
She snapped. Garnet looked at her, dumbfounded.
"She acts so nice. But inside she thinks she's all that!"
Rinoa shouted. Garnet shook her head,
"Right.."
Rinoa nodded, begging for Garnet to believe her,
"You should hear how she talks to the boys!"
Rinoa said, getting Garnet's interest.
How does she talk to the boys?
"All the boys have asked her out! She said yes to only one though."
Rinoa sighed,
"He's hot."
Garnet rolled her eyes,
"So what? Be yourself, Rin. Don't worry about her. She's just a blonde stuck up."
N / A:
No offense to blondes!
Rinoa nodded,
"You're right........"
Garnet closed her eyes, tightly,
"..... Did Zidane ask Noelle out?"
She asked, holding her breath, almost. Rinoa glared at her,
"........ I don't know."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
END OF CHAPPY!
Man. I think I'm obsessed with myself? Nah, I'm not really all that. I just don't really like my name. Noelle sounds like a preppy name, don't you agree?
I don't know why I changed my pen name! It's what my friend told me to do!
OK! So jealousy time! And remember Kuja saying "Two more days" whelp, there's two more days until camp ends! Good luck, ya'll!
~Noelle~
