Rinoa's eyes widened. Everything she had been thinking this whole time...about the kind of girl Quistis was, had suddenly gone down the toilet.
The way their hands fumbled over one another...with such...desperation. The way they kissed one another, almost furiously, it were as if they needed one another so badly, that their lives depended on this very moment. But it all added up to something that was easily defined as Disgusting.
Rinoa tore her eyes away from the situation that was quickly unfolding before them. "Squall...I-"
She didn't know quite what to say. He must be devastated...I can't believe she's actually cheating on him...
Squall...
Squall turned away. He looked as though he was going to be sick. "I...can't believe..." he muttered between gasps for air. He started off away from what he had just seen, pacing...and then running the the opposite direction, Rinoa chasing madly after him, unsure of what to say or do next.
Squall stopped. Throwing his arms up in the air he shouted.
"Squall...I'm...so...so...sorry" Rinoa huffed, extending her arms outward him. He must feel awful...
"Oh my god Rin! Don't appologize! it isn't your fault!" he exclaimed brushing her off swiftly.
YES! he thought. He was silently celebrating an awful but exciting new development. He stopped for a moment to quickly ponder what this all meant. Quistis is with Seifer. Gross. I know. But wow! Maybe this means she's finally going to leave me alone...
everything is coming into place. He almost caught himself smiling on that thought. I can finally be with Rinoa...
"...so you're alright then?" she blinked. He watched her standing there. She looked dazed. Just absolutely blown away. Poor girl, she'd just witnessed something rather ugly. She's so cute Squall thought as he watched her.
"Hahah, of course I'm alright!" he finally smiled. "That was just...really...REALLY...weird." did I just exclaim the word 'really' ...wow, it's kind of rare for me to put so much of a strain on my usual monotone voice. I wonder if she thinks i'm weird... Squall was lost in his own rather odd thoughts.
The two began walking again. This time in silence.
Guys... she thought as they walked. They're always trying to act tough...but as soon as Squall gets home...the walls are gonna come down on him. How could she be so damn heartless!? Rinoa could feel her cheeks flushing pink at the very thought of it. Quistis and Seifer...of all the people in the world.
Quistis and Seifer.
"Squall...do you wanna get out of here?" Rinoa asked. She felt as though she needed to get him away from here, or perhaps he would go insane. He had just lost his girlfriend. And she was positive that he was just putting on a brave face, whilst secretily...Squall was dying inside.
He turned to face her. "Um...sure?"
"We can go back to my place if you like..." she smiled, surely he doesn't want to go and face the Selphie and the others after what he's just seen?
"Uhh...Okay let's go back to the car then."

People make mistakes. People make big and stupid mistakes.
"Seifer?" a dry voice rasped out through the darkness.
The man groaned, before rolling over onto his side to face the woman beside him. Her large eyes met with his. Uh-oh...
"What the hell did you put in my drink?" she asked, with a little too much bitterness in her tone.
And to this his eyes narrowed. At the same time, the two jumped onto their feat, glaring at one another menacingly.
"You dirty bastard! what did you do to me!?" Quistis hollered, her two hands balling into fists.
"Quistis! you've gotta quit pulling this shit on me!" he roared, taking a couple of steps towards her. "I fucking care about you!" he went on.
"...And I know that I mean something to you aswell" he finished, with his piercing green eyes, he watched her, as she turned her back and began to storm away from him. He plopped himself back down on the sand and put his head in his hands. What did this woman want from him? What was he doing that was wrong? Why did she keep running away from the one thing they both needed?
"She must be crazy..." he spoke aloud.
