I slowly walked to work, enjoying the warm summer breeze that whipped my blonde hair around my face. The streets weren't crowded yet, and it was actually quite peaceful. It reminded me of Besaid, which I was still trying to forget.
I knew Yuna was doing alright, or so it seemed. She had monthly concerts at the blitz ball stadium, which I never attended. I was temped to go, but I knew it would just bring back all the pain.
/I wish I could just talk to her..at least once../
I looked down to my feet, like they were going to give me answers to my problems. I knew that if I ever talked to her again, I would probably kiss her, which wouldn't go over too well.
/If only she knew how much I love her, maybe she's come talk to me again..maybe we could be something../
I shook my head, trying to rid those thoughts. She still loved Tidus, she would never love some stupid fan boy like me. After all, that's practically what I was, a fan boy.
I took out my red key card and slid it into the slot to unlock the door. I knew I wasn't the first one here, but the door always seemed to be locked in the morning. Probably so I couldn't sneak up on anybody and scare them.
As I walked towards the ticket booth, I messed with my uniform a bit. It was a plain button up white shirt, blue bow tie, and black slacks. The manager went crazy if we looked bad, and I didn't really feel like getting yelled at today.
I stepped into the booth, looking as tired and depressed as before. The girl who worked the booth with me, Arcia, gave me a worried look.
"Seig, are you alright?" She asked, as I sat down.
"I'm fine." I replied, "Just a bit tired."
I knew Arcia had a major crush on me, but I ignored her. I had too much on my mind already, and a girlfriend would totally push me over the edge. They always seemed so needy.
Somehow, I knew that Yuna wouldn't be like this, if I could get her to even consider dating me. She wasn't selfish, like all the other girls that liked me. Most only dated me for my looks, not my personality, which really made me angry. That's why I dumped them, not like they were helping me at all anyway.
Soon, the stadium was open, and people began flocking in. There wasn't a game scheduled for today, so I wondered why so many people were showing up. Suddenly, the manager opened the door to the booth.
"Change of plans, Yuna's having a concert today!" He said, "Hurry and get ready, it's going to be a madhouse!"
I groaned out loud as the manager left, and Arcia raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong?" She asked, sounding as if she actually cared. Maybe she did, what do I know?
"It's nothing." I replied, "I just don't like crowds."
"Then you picked a bad place to work." Arcia said, clearly not believing me.
"I only worked here because I couldn't work anywhere else." I said.
"Bull shit." Arcia said, "You're young, strong, and good looking. You could get any job you wanted."
I had nothing to say to that, since I didn't want to make a bigger fool of myself. The day already seemed horrible, but it was only going to get worse.
