Chapter Four
"I don't wanna get up...raaaaah!" I shot straight up from the infarmary's bed, and looked around. It wasn't snowing outside, and I finally realized that dancing with Seifer...had been a dream.
"Ah, so our sleeping Ice Queen awakens! It's about time." I sighed when I reconized that--that voice was the ledgendary S3's leader, Seifer. I put my protective wall up, dispite the number that my heart was doing to my mind. Seifer and his posse, along with the rest of Instructor Loire's battle techniques class.
"What do YOU want, Seifer?" I asked in my monotone voice that Squall had taught me over the summer. He laughed, ready for a comeback to pour out of his mouth, but was soon stopped by Instructor Loire.
"Mr. Almasy, now would be the time to shut that mouth of yours." He turned to me. "How are you, Miss Trepe? Are you alright?" I shrugged and nodded as Dr. Kadowaki came in with an insanely long needle with a glowing, blue liquid in it.
"Okay, everyone out! Shoo! You can wait in the common room!" Once everyone was out of the room, she turned to me. I sighed and rolled up the sleeve of my injured arm. "Yes, Quistis. I'm sorry it has to be this arm, but..." I smiled at her, assuring her it was just fine.
"Yeah, it's okay, Ruth. I'm not insanely afraid of needles. As long as it take all the pain away..." She smiled and nodded. I had been permitted to call her by her first name when no one was around, since she was the only woman at Balamb Sky High that had tread the paths where I had once walked, during my last two years in this highschool.
Dr. Kadowaki injected the needle, and talked to keep my thoughts from the needle and the pain from my...injuries. "So, Quistis, how was your first day of your senior year here?" She smiled up at me, exaturating "senior".
"It was..." I sighed. "...okay, I guess. Other than the part when I fainted from the loss of blood, it was boring."
"No friends in any of your classes, today?" I shook my head. "Do you have any in any of your classes with anyone you know, tomorrow?" I nodded, while she pulled the needle from my tender flesh.
My eyes widened when I could move my arm, and the pain subsided a bit.
"Whoa! That stuff works in no time at all!" Dr. Kadowaki laughed.
"Surprised?" I laughed.
"Well, yeah! Whoo..." I yawned, and stood up to stretch my cramped limbs while Dr. Kadowaki threw the needle in the garbage, and washed her hands. I looked at the clock on the wall, and gasped.
"Oh, man! I've got to meet my friends!" I turned to Ruth Kadowaki. She smiled and nodded.
"Have a great time, Quis. See you tomorrow!" I smiled back, and ran out of the room, bumping into Seifer. Literally. And I (not to gracefully) fell onto my bottom. I glared at him as I got up. He smirked.
"What do YOU want, Mr. high-and-mighty? Can't you see I'm in a hurry, here?" I said, brushing the imaginary dust and grime off my skirt. I no longer wore my over-jacket, thanks to my blood that gushed through it, and revealed tight, white dress-shirt that thankfully didn't have even a drop of blood on it.
His attention was actually on my face as he shoved my silver bag into my arms.
"Well, if you asked for the truth..." I rolled my eyes as he smirked his trade-mark smirk.
"I don't want to know, Almasy. Now, if you'll move before I make you do so..." He didn't budge. So, I elbowed him in the stomach, and walked with confedence out to my volkswagon convertable, put the top down, and started the car, blasting another favorite song of mine on my cd of mixed techno songs.
Three hours later...
After dropping Xu and Rinoa off, it started to rain.
Really hard.
Quistis was on the side of the road, the top not coming up.
And her engine broke down.
And she couldn't walk, considering her house and her friends houses were miles away.
...Or so Seifer thought, watching her from his adoptive father's hummer, just around a dark corner away from hers. He thought he could probably get her into his bed that night by playing her knight in shining armor.
"Oh, hyne...her shirt is see through...ohhhhhh...wish I had a camara..." He thought as he watched her get out of her car, checking the engine long enough for him to take a look. The next minute, she was grabbing her blood-covered jacket from underneath her seat, along with a pair of white tennis shoes from her trunk. She took off her heels, but them in her pack, put on the jacket, buttoned it up, and laced up her tennis shoes. She locked up her car after finally getting the top up, and started to jog.
And he slowly followed her in the hummer.
When she realized that she was being followed, she took her whip from her pack, and hooked it onto her belt for the feeling of security.
"Now is your chance, Seifer! Go in for the kill..." He smirked at the thought, and sped up, rolling down his windows to see her. She kept her eyes ahead, concentrating on her goal in the distance.
"Hey! Ice Queen! You like to run in the rain! Because you looked so hot in that white shirt just a few minutes back!" She froze in place. Smirking to herself, she turned to the hummer.
"Almasy, that was the crappiest pick-up line I have ever heard, today!" He feigned a frown and dissapointment.
"I'm hurt, your highness! I expected to be dubbed your knight!" She rolled her eyes.
"You have HORRIABLE acting skills, Almasy! You'll need to work on that!" With that, she started to jog again. Seifer laughed, still not giving up.
"I bet that I can go faster than you can." She scowled at him, and stopped.
"What the heck do you want? Why can't you just drive away, and leave me in peace to run?" The amusement never left his eyes.
"Since you really DO want to know..." He was out of the hummer, now sauntering towards Quistis in his airy, arrogant walk that made every girl faint in their tracks. She stood with her arms crossed over her chest, her chin up, despite the feelings of the lack of her self-confedence under his penetrating, beautiful green-eyed gaze. She mentally shook her head at that thought. They were now standing a foot from eachother, and now she was getting nervous. So, she started to back away, trying to still look confedent. He only laughed, and reached towards her with one hand, bowing himself under her gaze. "...I want to give you a ride home." She raised an eyebrow at his curt, gentleman bow only used for ballroom dancing, and his right hand outstretched to her.
And then it struck her.
She had another thing to tease him about, or parhaps to use as blackmail...
She started to laugh, and he looked up.
"What?" When she had stopped, she looked at his bow and outstretched hand yet again.
"You ballroom dance? The Seifer Almasy?" She started to laugh again when he frowned, turned around, and stalked to his car. How the heck did she figure that little...secret out?
Well, he would save that conversation for later.
For now, she was now in the hummer, driving towards her house.
Until the unspeakable happened.
It started to snow, and in only a matter of a minute, the road up ahead was blocked with snow and trees, from the lightning.
"Hold on, your highness." She grabbed onto her seat, and tried to keep herself composed as he made a sharp "U" turn, and drove towards his house.
"Where are we going, now?" His expression turned serious as he turned towards her.
"My house, your high..." She glared at him.
"Call me 'your highness' one more time, and I'll strangle you with my own whip." He sighed.
"Whatever. We're going to my house. You're welcome to spend the night..." He looked at her, amusement back in his eyes. "...Quistis." She sighed, and threw her arms up with a sigh.
"Okay, okay. There are no other options. Whatever..."
And thus they journeyed forth to the house of...Seifer Almasy.
