Chapter 2:
"Hey babe! How are you?" Seifer greeted. "Not fine!"
"Why that look on your face my love?"
"Nothing! I was just thinking of something more sensible to do than to date you."
"Oh! Come on! I know you are dying to have a date with me, you just want to hide it."
"Bah! As if!" she whispered to herself full of disgust.
"Come, let's go! Let's have fun all day."
"Fun? Really? Well, I guess I have to come with him I don't have a choice." she
whispered to herself.
Later in Balamb town.....
Rinoa is really getting bored as time pass by. She has to think of a way to escape this
miserable date with Seifer. "Hey! What if? Right! Good idea!" finally she thought of an
excuse to get away from Seifer. "Ouch! Oh, my head is really hurting!" she said. "Hey,
are you alright?" Seifer asked full of concern. "Aww! I can't take this anymore! Please,
let's go back to the garden. I need to rest." she said full of feelings and determination.
"If that's the case then let's go back immediately". "Oh, thank you so much!" she replied
then she flashed a fake smile. "Haha! I win!" she whispered to herself.
On the other side of the story....
It's already five' o clock in the afternoon and tonight is the night Squall have been
waiting for. Tonight at exactly midnight, he will escape and run away from their
kingdom to have freedom and experience to live his life freely. "Tonight, I shall be free
to live a normal life without taking orders from my parents and without servants taking
orders from me." He had been planning for this big day and he won't let anything block
his escape. He planned every little detail and he even practiced once when everyone in
the palace was busy. "I'll make sure my escape will be a success." But what about her
mother? She surely would be very sad. "Hey, I've already decided. I'll just leave a letter
so she wont have to worry that much." He said to himself to oppose his emotional side.
While waiting for midnight, Squall had finished writing a letter for his mother. "I just
hope she'll understand me and she'll not be sad while I'm gone." Once again he read the
letter that said:
Dear Mother,
Maybe by now you're reading my letter I'm very far away from our kingdom.
I hope you'll understand why I did this. I want some space and freedom. Please don't be sad and lonely while I'm gone. And also tell Father that. And please take care of yourself; I will not be there to look after you. I love you so much. I promise I'll come back. Until then, goodbye.
Love,
Squall
It's already ten thirty according to his clock. He already packed everything he thinks he
need, some clothes, money and his gunblade that was given to him by his father as
birthday present except that, he didn't bring any other royal stuffs. "Only one and a half
hour then I'll have my freedom." he said.
After 1 ½ hour......
He glanced one last time in his room and left the letter on top of his table. He quietly left
his room then he made his way through the hallway without even a noise. He knew there
were guards near the entrance door so he chose to leave through the secret passage that
leads exactly in the town. After some minutes of walking he's already on his way to the
train station. He'll take a train to Timber Town then another to Balamb Town. There he'll
enroll to Balamb Garden. While waiting for the midnight train to arrive he noticed four
girls looking at him. He was wearing a hat so how on earth will they recognize him. He
didn't realized that one of the four girls was already in front of him. "Are you Prince
Squall? If I may ask." the lady asked him. "No, maybe I just look like him." He noticed
that the train arrived already. "Now if you will excuse me, I have to go" he replied
shortly then he ran quickly to the train.
