Trapped in the world of Final Fantasy 8

Chapter 6 – Life at Balamb Garden pt1

Mark was given a quick tour and then taken up by Irvine to the third level of Balamb Garden where Headmaster Cid was.

The whole place was high tech and the place was filled with bustling SeeD's and Cadets that attended Balamb, after several minutes he was guided to a large pair of red arch shaped doors.

'Well this is it' said Irvine 'well in ya go!'

'Sure…Whatever' shrugged Mark, brushing back a strand of white hair that kept falling in front of his face.

The seeD sharp shooter and Mark pushed the door opened and entered a large well furnished room with a desk near the back where a fat portly man dressed in red was looking through a stack of papers. He looked up and smiled slightly

'Ah Irvine good to see you, and you must be our new cadet Marcus Greenwood?'

'Yep that's me' replied Mark, as Irvine walked forward and handed Cid a sheet, with the information he'd recorded of Mark's estimated level and skills.

Headmaster Cid read through it a few times and his eyebrows rose slightly when he read Mark's results.

'Very impressive' said Cid 'I'm sure you'll be a valuable addition to seeD'

'Thank you sir' replied Mark, going against his nature and being polite.

'Well I've had a room set up for you Marcus, and you'll start your lessons on the following Monday, seeing as its Friday now. I'll have Irvine take you there and…Before you forget heres your lesson plan' said Cid handing Mark a yellow planner with his lessons printed upon the back.

After that Irvine and Mark left down to Level one, where most of the dorms and lessons were.

According to the map, Mark's room was near the northern part of the cadet living quarters.

As they walked Irvine chatted to Mark about Balamb garden and the cute girls in the school. Well it was more like Irvine talked and Mark listened.

His room number was 122, and he'd be sharing with a seeD in training

(Non-seeDs had to share)

Irvine gave a key card for his new dorm room. He swiped the card through the scanner and the door slid open with a faint hiss. Inside were two bedrooms, a bathroom, all accessed from doors about the kitchen/dining room

'Well see ya' said Irvine, tipping his hat and leaving. Mark gave a small sigh and slung his rucksack on the floor and chucked his suitcases on the bed of the second bedroom.

'Well you're in Garden now, god job, now we'll be able to proceed with the plan' stated the voice in Mark's head.

'Yes I know, but for now I suggest that we lay low for the moment, till the time is right to destroy the others' said Mark in his mind to the other awareness.

After that Mark put away all his clothing and other stuff and took a quick shower, he hadn't had one since this morning and he tended to get cranky if he didn't wash regularly; Mark a clean freak, go figure.

He found out later that his roommate was a girl called Lin, who unfortunately walked in the bathroom just as he was leaving the shower. Talk about embarrassment.

'Who are you?' she gasped in shock as Mark quickly wrapped a fluffy towel around his waist.

'…your…new roommate' said Mark blushing slightly

'Oh right, they told me about that this morning, but I thought you weren't supposed to arrive at garden for another hour.'

'Irvine drives like a bloody madman…' shrugged Mark 'we got here early'

'Ok then, my names Lin Misawa' she said extending her hand for a shake, Mark stretched out his hand for a shake and told her that his name was Marcus Greenwood.

'We'll I'd better get dressed then' he said hurrying into his new bedroom. Lin shook her head an went into her bedroom to get her homework out of the way, otherwise Instructor Trepe would be after her blood.

She had no idea of what was sharing her dorm room with her and the havoc he could bring…But soon they would.
