A/N: Aw……. I come back, and notice my only romance story has ONE measly review:'( Oh well. Thanks Soulie! Now to continue (and try to get more reviews!).
Chapter 2: The Lunch 'Date'.
So there we were, me and Irvine, slouching on the chairs in the Library. I was pretty bored, and Irvine kept babbling about his experiences with the past girls he dated. The quote 'Who gives a damn!' raced in my mind. Then Irvine finally started to help me. As soon as Lunchtime came. DAMN!
"Eheh, sorry 'bout that. But you can copy off the things I said, ya know." said Irvine, as we walked to the Cafeteria. "Whatever. But if I mess up, I'll give you the blame and make your head 'stuffed'" I responded angrily. But as we entered the Elevator, I quickly turned the other way. For in the elevator, was Jessica. Seeing that I was about to run away, Irvine quickly grabbed me and rammed me into the elevator. "Oh, it seems that the elevator's full. I guess I can wait." he replied. Jessica raised a brow. "What? There's tons of space." she replied. But Irvine had quickly pressed the button to the lower floor, and the elevator doors slammed shut, leaving me with Jessica.
We looked at each other awkwardly, then Jessica looked out through the elevator's glass walls. "Um…….. Hi." she said quietly. "Hi." I responded back. I felt so screwed up there. I had nothing to say! I had to say something interesting, or else things would get too awkward. So I hesitated a little, and looked around the elevator walls. Magically, it seemed that they were further in, and closer to me…. I cleared my throat. "S-so…… guess I'll buy lunch then?" I said. Jessica looked at me, and quickly nodded her head. "Uh yeah… sure." she responded. The elevator doors then opened and I felt more relaxed.
We headed to the Cafeteria, and managed to get us my favorite table. "I guess I should get our Lunch now…" I said, and stood up. "Wait….. I don't feel hungry right now… can we just talk a little first?" Jessica asked. Wait! But that meant lowering the chance of getting those hot, steaming hot dogs! "Er…. But if we wait, we might not get Lunch." I said. Jessica sighed, and waved her hand forward. "Go get Lunch then." she said. Feeling a bit guilty, because she really wanted to talk right now, I sat down. "You know what? I can get Lunch later. Who cares if we miss it? It's not like they won't make another batch, right?" I said. Jessica smiled. "Thanks. You know, I have a lot on my mind nowadays." she said. "Really now. Why is that?" I asked. "Because…." she started. Instead of finishing, she sighed again, and leaned her elbow on the table. "Because….?"I asked. But Jessica just shook her head. "Um, so….. You from around here?" she asked. "As a matter of fact, I do. I'm from Balamb." I answered. "Oh. I hear it's beautiful there." Jessica quoted back. "Well, it should be, considering it's a harbor town. Trust me, besides Fishermen's Horizon, Balamb's got the best view of the ocean around!" I said. "Really? Have you been to Fisherman's Horizon? Jessica asked. I knew now that she was interested. So I continued. "Yeah. I've been to a lot of places through my SeeD missions. Galbadia, Timber, Esther…." I stated. "Esther!" Jessica said excitedly. "Yeah… why?" I asked. Jessica put her hand over her collar. "I'm from Esther! My dad works for President Loire! I hear that the Second-in-Command of Balamb Garden's his long lost son!" Jessica piped. I laughed softly. "Squall Leonhart? Yep, that's him." I answered. "Wow… and you learned all this from your SeeD missions? I've gotta become a SeeD! That is…" Jessica's excitement ceased, and I knew something was wrong. "What is it?" I asked. "It's just that…. Seifer told me that the last time he applied for SeeD, he failed. He said that he wasn't allowed to attend any more exams. And because of that, there was no use of him studying anymore and he was let off!" Jessica explained. That wasn't true! Seifer was banned for trying to end SeeD! But I knew that if I told Jessica the truth, she'd just be unhappy. So I said nothing about it.
I stood up. "Well.. I guess I should get Lunch…" I said again, and went in the long line up.
Next chapter SHOULD come soon!
