A/N: Holy shit, I was only planning to write Chapter 2 today! Instead I write and post both Chapter 2 AND 3 at the same time, PLUS I get Chapter 4 started! WHOOP! GO ME!

Irvine: Yeah… whatever. I'm gonna go get a milkshake

Zell: You're just jealous 'cuz I got my first kiss in the other chapter, cowboy! Get it!

Irvine: First, that was a HORRIBLE pun. Second, I'M GONNA KILL YOU! (starts strangling Zell)

RP93: NOOO! MY MAIN CHARACTER AND MY FAVE CHARACTER! (tries to settle dispute)


Chapter 4: Bizarre Love Triangle

I sat, tired, but somewhat entranced at my table. I took a gulp of my glass of milk, as Irvine sat down. "Hey. You look…. dazed." Irvine said, looking at my condition. I smiled weakly. "I got my first kiss yesterday." I said. "Whoa! Congrats dude! How was it!" Irvine asked. Wow. He seemed as if he was more excited than me. Well, that's original… "Well, except for the part where she kept repeating 'Oh-my-god-I-cheated-on-my-boyfriend' part, it was…. Magical." I responded. "Wow…. You're so entranced, you didn't even bother buying hotdogs!" said Irvine, looking at the bare surface. I looked at him confused. "What's a hot dog?" I asked him. Irvine's jaw dropped. "Whoa… I NEVER thought this day would come!" he cried, and sped off to spread the news. "Typical." I said.

But as I took another sip, I nearly choked. For there was Jessica, shyly in the arm of….Seifer. And they were coming up to me! Knowing that this would be trouble, I picked up my glass, and began to leave. "Hey, wait up, Chickenwuss!" I turned around, my left eye twitching to the owner of the voice. Seifer grinned at me.

"I assume you've already met Jessica, because of what happened yesterday…" he hinted. Damn! He knew! I looked at Jessica, but she just looked away. "Look, I know it's hard for you to get a girl, but try not to hit on another guy's girl, alright? Tch, I bet you didn't even wedge that in your thick skull!" teased Seifer. Fujiin and Raijiin (who were behind him) laughed. But then I suddenly laughed, which confused Seifer. "Really, Seifer. Well, I don't think that Jess belongs to you either. Jessica, remember that time when you told me that Seifer was kicked out because he had no reason to attend?" I asked Jessica. Jessica nodded. "What are ya getting to!" Seifer demanded. "HE LIED! HE TOLD YOU A DAMN LIE!" I cried. The whole Cafeteria went silent. "What?" Jessica asked, confused. "Seifer was kicked out for serving a sorceress. He tried to eliminate SeeD!" I continued. Jessica looked at me shocked, slipping away from Seifer's grip. "Jess… you don't actually believe him…." Seifer started. But I went on. "With his actions, Seifer endangered thousands of people's lives. In fact, he was the one who took over Lunatic Pandora-" I continued, but Jessica ended my sentence. "And caused Esther grief…"

Jessica stood there, looking dazed and confused. Everything was silent, and there was not one small shake in the Cafeteria. Finally, Seifer started to twitch, then he looked at me angrily. "YOU BASTARD!" he cried, and attacked me. We began to have a fierce fight, exchanging blows on the Cafeteria floor. I could feel blood on my flesh, yet I still fought. I heard screams around me, yet I still fought. Finally, two Garden Faculty members came and separated us. "Enough! Mr. Almasy, your visiting time has ended, and you are not allowed to visit Balamb Garden for one month. Miss Himiko, please assist Mr. Dincht to the Infirmary." said one of the Garden Faculty members.

My vision was blurry, but I could swear that I saw Jessica's figure bend over and help me up. Along the way to the Infirmary, I felt tears fall on my face. Jessica was heartbroken. And it was all because of me…

I couldn't remember much at the Infirmary. I remember having my injuries and wounds bandaged, and the bleeding stopped and cleaned. Then the rest was pitch black. When I woke up, I saw Jessica at my bedside, still dazed and confused, and crying. I sat up, still feeling a bit weak, but then she spoke. "Everything was perfect… until you came along. I would have been happier if I didn't knew the truth. I would have been more happier if I hadn't met you." said Jessica. "What! He lied to you! How could you love a guy like him!" I cried. "So what reason do have to love you back?" said Jessica. Her blurry green eyes pierced through mine. "I don't want to see you. Never again in my life." she replied, and left.

'The pain inside…. was harder to bear than the pain on the outside….' I had fallen…
