Seifer was released from the authorities several hours later. They had no proof that he was even involve. School resumed the next day, and him and Zell seen each other for the first time since the incident.

"Seifer...sorry 'bout the Selphie case...I never really new her..." Seifer ignored Zell's apology, and started to type faster.

"Listen...Seifer...He lured me into getting high with him...I didn't even know what I was doin'." Seifer jams his things into his bag, and leaves in the middle of his class. Despite his instructors orders he keeps walking. After Seifer gets a few steps down the hall Zell catches up with him.

"Seifer I'm really sorry...I shouldn't have--" Seifer turns and kisses Zell passionatly, and he starts to cry.

"Seif, why are you cryin'?"

"I'm sorry Zell for bein' a jerk to you...I had no right, but I really need you now..."

"Yes, Seifer you had every right...I was in the wrong...dun cry...c'mon lets head to our room." The couple head back to their dorm, and Seifer tells Zell all about Squall.

"You've gotta tell someone!" Seifer just shakes his head.

"I'm the prime suspect..." Zell nods apparently having forgot that minor detail.

Over the next few days the pair skips all of their classes, until Cid tell them they must go back. Toward the end of their last our class, Seifer is called to the headmasters office, so he tells Zell bye and leaves.

Once class is over Zell walks out into the hall, carrying his stuff and some things Seifer had forgotten. Zell spots Squall walking in his direction, and Zell turns down into a different hall. The path Zell chose was empty, because all students were to stay out of it due to renovations. Approaching the end of the hall, Zell is grabbed from behind (by the neck.) Zell drops his books. He tried to scream, but cannot make a sound. he is thrown into and empty classroom. Zell wipes some blood from his forehead, and sees Squall advancing toward him.

"Squall...please...no" Squall kicks Zell hard in the face. He continues to kick,hit, and slam Zell around. Suddenly the door flies open and Squall is pryed from Zell.

"Mr. Almasy have a seat." Seifer enters the headmasters office.

"Sorry to interrupt your class, but I cannot put this off any longer." Seifer frowns at this comment, and the fact he left some of his things behind.

"Seifer I'm going to have to ask you to leave the Garden..."

"WHAT?" Seifer stands so furiously he knocks his chair over.

"Please calm down...many people here are afraid of you, and intend to leave if you do not..." Before Seifer even has the chance to object someone bursts into the room.

"HEADMASTER THERE HAS BEEN AN ATTACK!"

"Calm down Mr. Young, what has happened?"

"Zell Dintch was assaulted by Squall Lionheart!" Seifer has a horror stricken look on his face.

"He is in critical condition in the medical wing!"

"Thank you, Seifer I think you should take this time to leave..."

"But headmas--"

"But nothing you will go!"

"But--"

"NOW!"

"CID DAMNIT...Listen to me..." Seifer starts to cry.

"Squall...Selphie...he did it!" Seifer loses it, and passes out.
