Squall's POV:
You have got to be kidding me. Why was I acting like a four year old kid? I was snapping at Cloud for asking a simple question, because I was annoyed. What started as confusion from Seifer's little display of hostility had soon escalated into feelings of anger and I couldn't handle it anymore.
More importantly, what the hell was HIS problem. I gave an honest and polite answer and in return I had him storm off like he was about to kill something. Possibly it may have been the fact that I'd been quite sincere in what I'd said to him and he took it like I was an offensive jerk like Wakka that set my blood afire.
I spent the rest of the class brooding in silence. Today had sucked hard – I go from being the jealous and possessive freak first and second period, to a total basket case in the third, then to a pathetic little victim that someone like HIM thinks needs defending in fourth period, to being a stubborn jerk who was abusing his closest friends because he was in a bad mood for fifth and sixth period.
One thing for sure – Today I had Seifer Almasy on the brain. I should have realised what that meant then, though in my stubbornness, I didn't. Having him in my thoughts only provided yet another reason why I couldn't wait to get the hell away from this place. Selphie and I were going to be going to Clouds place this evening and I had been looking forward to it all day. I was counting down the minutes till we were granted the brief respite which was brought by the end of the school day.
Ten minutes to go… Nine… I was eager to end this suffering. Get home and then at 7:00 go to Clouds. I couldn't wait.
The bell tolled finally and Selphie leapt to her feet in excitement. I must say I felt as happy as she looked. Glancing quickly around the room, I spotted Cloud hurrying towards us and the Almasys leaving. I shot Seifer's back a contemptuous look before smiling at Cloud.
"Sorry for earlier" I managed to say to him. He smiled at me and said that it was fine. Heading back to Selphie's car together we ran into Lenne and Yuna. Seemed they hadn't enjoyed their day any more than I did mine. We stood in the car park for a while, talking though my mind kept wandering to Seifer and every time it did I wished to pound my face into a wall as hard as possible.
"Want a lift home Cloud?" I heard Selphie ask but he shook his head. He didn't live too far from the school and I think he had to stop and buy some stuff on his way home anyway. "See you tonight then" I said. "Sure. Later" he said and turned his back on the school and walked down the path.
The conversation on the drive home was mainly the girls complaining about homework and such but I didn't mind too much, it allowed my mind to wander. I had to admit that today proved I was emotionally crippled. I didn't have mood swings, that term didn't even come close. It was much worse than that and no matter what I thought, I could not find justification for my actions.
To put it simply; I hated myself.
