Chapter 3:

"You're the most beautiful lady I've ever met" the man in front of her said. The face of

the man was blurry and unclear. She was sure she doesn't know the man. ". "Thank you

for the compliment but, "May I ask who you are?" she asked him. "Oh! Forgive me. Let

me introduce myself, I am –,

"Kriiiiiinnng!!!" the alarm clock in her end table rang..

She irritatingly grabbed the alarm then said "How dare you disturb my sleep and my

beautiful dream." "Sigh,  that was a beautiful dream and if that guy was real I'm sure he'd handsome."

There was someone knocking on the door and that was a sign that she should get out of bed or she'll be late.

She was sure that Selphie was the one knocking on the door. "I won't be long." she said.

Then she went inside the bathroom.

Meanwhile....

At last the train stopped and that means that they have arrived in Balamb Town. When he

got out of the train he felt totally free at last. "Now all I have to do is find Balamb

Garden." Nobody in their kingdom knew that he have secretly arranged his enrollment in

the garden. He walked until he reached the car rental station. "Excuse me? May I ask you

something?" "Oh, sure what do you want to know?" asked the shopkeeper. "Where can I

find Balamb Garden?" he asked politely. "Oh, just take the path when you get out of

here." "Oh, it will be more convenient if you rent a car." "I think you're right, how much

will it cost?". "Just 3500 Gil and there, you've got a car!". "Ok! I think I'll take the

Skyblue Van.". The shopkeeper gave him the key. "Have a nice trip!" added the man. He

got in the van then he started the engine and he went on his way to Balamb.

At Balamb Garden...

"Waahhh, at last were finished with that boring class." Rinoa said. "I almost fell asleep!" she

complain once more.

"Be thankful you were seated at the back or else you'll be scolded by our Instructor."

Quistis said as if she was lecturing.

"Well let's just forget about it and let's have some fun." Rinoa suggested.

"I'm sorry but I'll be going out with Irvine" Selphie said..

"Oh, I almost forgot." "Zell will introduce me to her mother later so I should make

necessary preparations to impress her and also for her to like me." Quistis said and she was

blushing.

"Fine! It's as if the whole world is abandoning me!" she said.

"Hey, we're sorry but we have planned it long way before." Quistis said.

"Yeah, we too have planned it way back then but we'll make it up to you!" Selphie

added.

"I understand." She said. "Have fun!" But really, deep inside she was sad because she

doesn't have someone to spend Friday nights like this. She felt left out because

almost every pretty girl in their garden already have a boyfriend. Also, Rinoa doesn't even

have a date for the party that will be held in two weeks and five days from now. "Please

whoever you are destined for me please come soon." She prayed then she made her way

to her dorm room.

Anyway,  what happened to Squall? Let's see...

Squall was glad when he arrived at the parking lot of Balamb Garden. He knows that the

secretary of the headmaster was already waiting for him. He made his way to the hall. He

was busy finding some documents in his bag when he bumped into someone. "I'm sorry!" he said.

But the girl seems to be out of her mind. The girl was very pretty and for

the first time, he felt his heart beat very fast. Increasing every second. Before he

completely get out of his mind because of amusement he asked the girl "Are you alright miss?" he waited for an answer.

But the girl didn't reply. "Miss?" he asked again.

"Oh, sorry" the girl finally said.

He knows that he'll be late for his appointment but he can't leave the beautiful lady in

front of him. Just thinking of something might happen to her make him feel very worried.

"Miss I can't leave you here alone so can you please come with me? I won't be long." he

said then he held her hand.

Rinoa felt a hand held her. She looked at the man and she saw a very handsome guy but

she doesn't know him. His face was familiar but she can't remember where she first saw

him. Realizing that he was holding her hand she suddenly want to pull her hand back but

her heart tells her that she is safe with him. She also felt her heart beat fast, increasing

every second. When they were inside the elevator she felt that she needed to know who

this man was. "Excuse me but who are you?" she asked.

"Oh, forgive me let me introduce myself I am –

The man didn't finish what he was about to say the elevators opened and she realized that

they were in the Headmaster's Office.

"Wait for me here and please don't leave while I am gone." she sensed gentleness in his

voice.

She found herself nodding as if her whole body was moving alone and her mind can't think normally.

She just looked at the man heading for the door with her still mesmerized.
