A/N: I gave chapter one and two some more page filling now, because I wasn't really satisfied with how it was. In my opinion it was too short and it wasn't that good anyway. Now that I've expanded the story, I'm more pleased with it. Hope you enjoy it! Read and please review.

Their 'first' meeting

"Fifteen years old and already a SeeD. Congratulations, miss Trepe. You have done very well." She heard headmaster Cid say.

"Thank you, sir." She was feeling exhausted.

"Dismissed." Quistis saluted him and headed towards the elevator. She felt proud about herself. She now was the youngest SeeD that had ever existed. And she had worked so hard to obtain it. Between classes you could always find her in the library studying, after her evening meal in the cafeteria she always headed for the training centre and when she was done training (after 3 or 4 hours), she went back to her dorm to study some more. So she could proudly say that she had done well. She took the elevator down and it stopped at the first level where a boy, the same age as she was, stepped in. She looked at him while he pushed the button to go down. He was tall and had blond hair. The new SeeD-member thought that he had rather handsome features. She couldn't help but noticing those emerald eyes, enchanting her. It took her a while to realize that she was holding her breath and slowly let the air pass her lips.

"What are you looking at?" The boy asked.

Caught off guard, Quistis tried to find a good answer. "You took the SeeD exam today too, didn't you?"

"Yes." He didn't seem all too happy with her question.

"I thought so. I have seen you in my class once in a while, but I wasn't sure."

"Those classes were boring as hell."

"I beg to differ. They were really interesting. Maybe if you had shown up more, you would've past the field exam too."

"That has nothing to do with it. I passed my written exam anyway."

She noticed the doors opening and slipped by the arrogant boy, murmuring a "Better luck next time."

"Save it for someone who needs it!" He shouted after her disappearing form.

He was tossing and turning but couldn't catch some well needed sleep. His mind was racing over everything that had happened. The events of the day had irritated him. Thoughts of failure. The field exam had gone well in his eyes. There were three of them and they had to find their way around Timber to the place where they were stationed. The leader of the group was so incompetent and lost his way 5 times. That's why Seifer got so pissed off at him and took charge. When the group arrived at their post, things got boring for him. Nothing was happening. There were supposed to be some monsters running around town which they had to defeat to protect the civilians. But so far they hadn't run in to many of them and the beasts were probably not heading this way either. The new group leader decided to walk down the street towards a place where he suspected to be more action. The two other boys protested but after seeing it didn't help they decided to follow him. Monsters came, monsters died. All of them by Seifer's hand and he had fun. Then the end of the mission was declared.

Seifer got out of bed and headed for the shower, thinking that it might do him good. But still the thoughts wouldn't be washed off and he remembered how his instructor had lectured him about abandoning his post and ignoring orders. He had failed, much like everyone else in his class. They were too young to already make it into SeeD. They only had to take those field exams to gain experience. That was what all the instructors thought. But there had been one exception. Just one. And that was the girl he met in the elevator. He had caught her staring at him and as she was looking for something to say, he was studying her looks. Seifer had come to the conclusion that she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and wondered why he hadn't noticed her before. The girl had blond hair which reached her shoulders, glasses and she was wearing the 'grandma-version' of the school uniform. But he was looking past that 'grown-up'-look and in those icy blue eyes he saw heaven. He had been rude to her, which he regretted right now, but at the moment he was trying to hide the feelings that were forming deep inside of him.

In another dorm room, a girl was doing the same as him. Quistis already started to feel irritated just thinking of the young boy in the elevator. At first she had found him very attractive, but that was until he started speaking. The words coming out of his mouth undid the spell that his eyes had laid upon her. In her opinion that combination just didn't work, but the blonde wasn't stupid and knew that there were more good looking arrogant guys in the world. He had disappointed her. And still Quistis couldn't shake the feeling that something inside her felt very excited whenever she thought of him.
