Chemistry was so boring. Sure, I guess a lesson can't really be boring if you've got Selphie there, but still…BORING.

I sat at my desk, annoyed as always. Our teacher was droning on about something I had no clue about…I wasn't exactly top of the class in Chemistry.

Luckily the teacher wasn't paying attention to us so me and Selphie could talk.

"Doesn't he look so CUTE today," she was sighing.

"Would you shut up about him for one minute," I hissed. Ok, maybe the fact that we could talk wasn't a GOOD thing.

"No, I can't shut up about him," she looked at Irvine again.

"Well try," I turned round so she couldn't talk to me as easily, but she was very persistent.

"Hey, Rinnie,"

"What?" I snapped again.

"Nothing," she smiled sweetly. I rolled my eyes.

Anyway, so the teacher continued on. I honestly have no idea what she was talking about…

"I'm bored," complained Selphie.

"You're not the only one," I sighed.

I was about to fall asleep when there was a knock at our classroom door. I woke up from my mini-daze.

"Who do you think it is?" asked Selphie, seemingly interested.

I stared at her. "Who knows? And more to the point, who cares?"

"Me!" she smiled.

Our teacher was talking to some other random one, who then walked out. As our teacher walked back in I saw him. The guy. The one who I saw outside. The CUTE one.

"Selphie, it's him!" I grabbed her arm.

"Who?" she looked puzzled. Then I remembered I hadn't actually told her about him.

"Um…never mind,"

"Everyone, we have a new student joining us today," our teacher looked like she was almost forcing him to stand up there. "Squall Leonheart."

Ooh, Squall.

Since the only spare seat was in front of us, he sat there. Next to Irvine. Yeah, this is why Selphie claims she has the 'best view' of him. Just so she can stare at his ass all lesson.

As Squall was getting settled he turned round for a brief second, and our eyes met. Then he turned back round as quickly as possible. I smiled to myself.

Then I remembered I was a princess. Maybe that was why he looked at me. Oh WHY can nothing good ever happen in my life.

I can't really remember what happened for the rest of the lesson. But for the most part, it went something like this:

"……..an atomic structure of….."

He's cute.

"………blah blah electrons……"

Really, he is.

"…...and this is a compound of…"

I wonder if we'll be friends…or if he's just like all the others.

But something about him told me that he just wasn't like all the others. But hey, I'd have to get to know him, wouldn't I?

"Um, Rinoa, you're kinda…staring," Selphie whispered to me with a slight giggle.

"Do you blame me?"

"Well…no," and we both laughed.

I was still in my I-can't-help-staring-and-not-listening mode when the teacher said something…

"Rinoa, do you know the answer?"

Answer? I didn't even know was a question.

Since I had no idea what was going on, I said the first thing that came into my head that I'd been thinking all lesson: "Really cute,"

A few people laughed, and the teacher gave me a blank look.

"Umm…what I mean is…" Oh, nice one Rinoa. You've screwed up again. But what did it matter? These teachers thought I was a saint…they wouldn't blame me whatever happened.

"Ok, Selphie do you know?" See what I mean? Totally bypasses me as if I never said anything.

"Sorry but no…" she squeaked nervously.

"Selphie!" she stormed. "Pay more attention next time."

Now seriously. Surely I'm not the only person who thinks that's so not fair! I couldn't let that one go, I had to say something…so I stood up.

Everyone looked at me including the teacher who was smiling! Smiling? Does she not realise how ANNOYED I am? So I decided I'd let her know!

Easier said than done. I don't like voicing my opinion often. Sure, I'm opinionated…but I'm the only one who knows about it.

"Um," I began.

"Rinoa? Something you'd like to say?"

"Yes, there is actually," I said a little more forcefully. "I don't like to see you pushing my friends around…"

"Ok," she simply said. "Anyway. Does anyone know the answer?"

What was WITH her? I'd stood up in class and SAID something. And all she can say is OK? And what was with this stupid question that I'm sure NO ONE knows the answer? I really had to say more!

"Is that all you can say? Don't you understand me? I said, I don't want you pushing my friends around. And I don't want you to be easy on me, either. Just because I'm a princess, it makes no difference to the kind of person I am. I should get in trouble just like everyone else. So why can't you treat me the same?"

Wow, did I really say that? But I wasn't done yet.

"Every time I do something wrong, you put the blame on someone else and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of everything…"

Ok I kinda was done now.

"Well, Rinoa…it's nice to know how you feel. I'll keep that in mind. Please sit down,"

Well it wasn't exactly the response I wanted, but hey, at least I got something. I sat down very proud of myself.

"Rinnie! I didn't know you felt that way!" Selphie gave me a quick hug.

"Um…it's nothing, Selphie…" I wasn't too comfortable with the whole huggy thing. But Selphie's just hyper, so she can't help it.

Irvine turned round which immediately turned Selphie's cheeks pink.

"Rinoa," he grinned. "You're really sexy when you get all mad,"

I glared at him. He turned back round.

Selphie mumbled something about it not being fair.

"Ahh, Selphie…" I couldn't think of anything else to say.

And I can't think of anything else to write! So I'll end this chapter! Thanks for the reviews people! And sorry about the shortness of chapters, I'll try and make them a bit longer.
