Well…English was a slightly hellish lesson, that's all I could say!

Irvine chatting me up on one side of me, and Sasha saying how cute Squall was on the other side. I couldn't take much more of this!

I sighed. There was a knock at the door…not again.

Our teacher (the really LOUD one) went up to get it. It was a small girl with long brown hair and huge eyes.

"Can we borrow-OH MY GOD is that HER?"

"Excuse me?" said the teacher.

"It's HER! The princess!"

Oh great. Another admirer.

Why did she have to do this? Ok, so she might like me…but why, in the middle of an ENGLISH lesson, embarrassing me? And Squall was there too! This was terrible. Now he'd know I was a princess for sure.

"Yes, Rinoa Heartilly is in this room," the teacher smiled at me and I felt myself turn red. Why me?

"Wow!" the younger girl squeaked. "Can I…can I meet her?"

The teacher nodded. Is no one even going to ASK me first?

"Rinoa, I'm such a big fan of you, you're just…amazing," she beamed at me, walking closer to my desk.

"Um…thanks?" I began then paused. Actually, no. I wasn't gonna stand for this! If I could stand up to our Chemistry teacher, I could do the same now…I'd start off simple, though.

"Why are you a fan of me, may I ask? What have I ever done that's different from other people? What's your name, by the way?"

She was quiet for a moment. "Well, my name's Victoria. And umm…well you're just so cool, Rinoa!"

How annoying…I'd get her to insult me yet.

"Yeah. Whatever. Do you actually know me?"

She paused again. "Well, I've never met you. Until now," she added with a huge smile.

I sighed loudly, and stood up. Victoria looked quite intimidated yet excited.

"Listen to me, Vickie," I said with a bit of spite on her name.

"Wow, no one calls me that," she breathed. I rolled my eyes.

"Well now they do. Listen. This stupid world is full of stupid little people like you who have no clue of what's going on around them so they have to fill their stupid pathetic lives with stupid things like….me," I trailed off.

The class was silent. Cool.

"Um…," Victoria began. "You're not stupid!"

"DO YOU EVEN KNOW ME?" I shouted. Wow, that was unlike me…but I was mad. I mean, seriously. Some little girl completely idolises someone she's never met? But hey, I guess that's society today. And I hate it. And I hate my life…why can't I be normal, then I wouldn't have to deal with any of this stuff.

I decided I couldn't take it any more. I felt a tear run down my cheek and I rushed out of the classroom.

I sat down and cried quietly to myself. Then I thought how crazy I was being. It was nothing! It was just some girl. I'm sure Victoria could have been really nice if I had got to know her.

Then I listened to the other side of me. The depressed one. The one that hated my life and hated…me.

I listened to that side, because that was the truth. Everything that could go wrong with my life had went wrong.

Well…there was Squall.

Yeah, right. He's really gonna like me now.

And anyway, he's just some cute guy…it's not as if I'm in love with him, I'll find someone else…who don't care that I'm a princess…

Then the door opened, I quickly looked up. It was our English teacher coming to check up on me…

"Rinoa…is everything alright?"

How many more stupid things can you say?

"Does it look like it?" I snapped back.

"What's wrong?" she wanted to know.

I chose not to answer that. But even now she was being nice to me…if any normal person were to walk out in the middle of class, I'm sure she'd have something to say to them.

But she asks me what's wrong. Hmm, let's see. I want to be NORMAL. I want a NORMAL LIFE. Which will never happen…
