Chapter II ~ Unanswered Questions
Light seeped through the curtains and landed on Squall's sleeping face. He tossed and turned during the small part of the night that he slept. Suddenly he fell off his bed to the cold, hard floor. His eyes were puffy and red. He was shivering as sweat drops rolled down his forehead. He stood up and stumbled over to his bathroom. Washing his face off with a towel, he had another flashback. A girl was standing there waving to him. She had long, golden hair that was glistening in the sun. Then suddenly she was crying and the flashback was over. A single tear found it's way out of Squall's eye and down his cheek. What is going on? Who is that girl I am remembering? Questions kept coming and coming until...
"Hey!!! Squall!!! Wake up!!! The cafeteria is serving blueberry pancakes!!!" Zell pounded on the door of Squall's dorm room.
"Shut up Zell!" Squall hurried and washed his face. His shirt was wet so he just took it off since it was going to be hot later anyway. He opened the door to see Zell practicing a few of his limit breaks.
Zell covered his eyes and said,"Geez Squall. Are you trying to blind me?!" Zell laughed and started running to the cafeteria shouting, "Watch out guys! Squall doesn't have a shirt on! Cover all the girls' eyes!!!" Squall looked down and shook his head. Zell will never change.
Rinoa saw Squall walk into the cafeteria and ran over to him and hugged him. "At first I didn't believe what Zell was saying, but now that I know he was telling the truth, I'm happy!" Rinoa giggled and dragged Squall over to the reserved seeD table. At the table were, Zell inhaling a pile of syrupy pancakes, Irvine covering Selphie's eyes, and Quistis smirking at the sight of Squall without a shirt.
"Good morning sleepy head," Selphie said to Squall while trying to get Irvine's hands off her eyes.
"Good morning Selphie, everyone," Squall sat down and Rinoa went to get her and him some blueberry pancakes.
"So how did you sleep?" asked Quistis trying not to stare at Squall's chest.
"Fine..." another lie from Squall, who was looking down the whole time. Rinoa finally returned with two plates of pancakes. Everyone sat in silence and ate. The room seemed to fall into a silence. You could only hear a few silent whispers and forks scraping on plates. Squall couldn't eat. He could just see that girl's face in his mind. All his thought's were on who she was, how he knew her, and what happened to her. He got up and left the table with out saying a word.
Leaving the cafeteria he heard the faint sound off Zell asking if he could have Squall's pancakes. Then he heard footsteps getting louder as someone got nearer.
"Go away!!!" Squall yelled as he turned around and saw Rinoa standing there. Before Rinoa could say anything he scurried of to his room.
What's happening to me? What am I seeing?... How can I fix what's wrong...?Squall fell asleep after long hours of trying to answer questions. However, his nap was not a pleasant one...
