Selphie had just got done teaching a class, when she bumped into somebody, causing her to fall to the ground "whoops, sorry about that," she said, her eyes going wide, when she realized just who she had knocked into. "S.....Seifer!"
Reaching a hand out, Seifer helped, a surprised, Selphie up. "Sorry, Selphie. But hey, good running into you . . . Literally, haha."
"Uh huh, um so what uh brings you here?"
"Oh Squall didn't tell you. I thought for sure he'd warn his teachers," Seifer said, giving the girl a puzzled look.
Feeling quite confused, Selphie looked at Seifer. Seifer isn't acting . . . well like Seifer. He even said, sorry, when it was I that bumped into him. "Told us? Told us what?"
Sighing, Seifer ran a hand threw his hair. Is she going to blame me for what happened too? "That he let me back in Garden."
Selphie's eyes went wide, "he did," she exclaimed?
"Yeah," Seifer nodded, "look, about what happened, I'm really sor . . . "
Putting a hand out, Selphie shook her head, "stop. Don't say it. You have nothing to apologize for. Not really. Squall knows that, otherwise he wouldn't let you back in."
Seifer was surprised, "you mean, you don't blame me for stuff I did?"
Selphie smiled, "of course not. Some people might, but I don't, and I don't think the others will either."
"Others?"
Selphie nodded, "yeah, Zell, Quisty and Irvine. We already know Squall doesn't blame you."
"I'm glad. In that case I have the biggest favor to ask." Seifer grinned, thinking about the little hotty, he was rooming with. "It has to do with a party."
Eyes lighting up, Selphie grabbed Seifer's arm, leading him down the hall, "oh, do tell."
Paperwork, paperwork. Oh, and look, some more paperwork.
Somebody doesn't like paperwork, Shiva giggled.
Oh, how could you possibly tell?
Oh, sarcastic.
Squall rolled his eyes, pushing his finished paperwork away from him, only to have more piled on his desk. "Sorry," Shion said, sympathetically.
"Not your fault," Squall grabbed the paperwork and started to go over it. "Oh and Shion, can you call Zell Dincht to my office?"
Shion nodded, picking up the microphone. "Excuse me, would SeeD, Zell Dincht, please report to the headmasters' office." Shion, clicked the microphone off and set it back on Squall's desk.
Squall glanced at the small girl, "thanks, I would of did it, but," he waved to the pile of paperwork.
"Oh, you're welcome. I didn't mind." Shion smiled, leaving his office and going to hers.
Hmm, what in the Gaia could he want? Have I done anything, I shouldn't of? I don't think so. Maybe a student has complained. Why, I don't know? Zell sighed, and walked into the Squall's new secretary's office.
Shion looked up and smiled, "can I help you?"
Zell smiled at the cute redhead, "oh, I'm Zell. Somebody called me over the loudspeaker."
"Oh, right," Shion blushed, "that was me. Mr. Leonhart wants to see you." Shion picked up her phone and pushed a few keys, "Mr. Leonhart, Zell's here. Oh..okay." Shion placed the phone back on its holder. "He said to go on in." Shion pointed to the door behind her.
"Thank you," Zell said, going over to Squall's door, and opening it.
Zell hesitantly poked his head in the room, "You wanted to see me."
Squall looked up from his paperwork, pushing it away from him, "yes, come in."
Zell did as he was told, a worried look on his face. Oh, no! Did one of the guys slip that I'm in love with him? Hyne, I'm going to get it now. "What's up," Zell asked, trying his best to make his voice sound normal?
Squall nodded to a chair, "sit."
Zell did, gulping, at the look on Squall's face. Squall looked upset about something. Yep, someone told him. I'm so dead!
"I called you here, because of Selphie."
Eeee, I knew it. Selphie can never keep a secret!
"And well Irvine's our friend, and I don't want to see him hurt."
Huh? What? What does, Selphie telling Squall, I'm in love with him, have to do with Irvine?
Zell blinked, confused, "I'm sorry, what?"
Squall sighed, "I know of your relationship with Selphie."
Zell's eyes went wide, "WHAT!? Selphie!!! No way. Why would you think that? I would never cheat with anybodies girlfriend." Or boyfriend.
"Huh, but I saw you yesterday."
"You saw us."
"Yes," Squall nodded, "yesterday morning, I walked in on you two hugging."
He couldn't help it, and started to chuckle. "Selphie was comforting me about something. That's all."
"Really?" Squall slightly smiled. Why do I feel so happy? It has to be because of Irvine. Yeah, that's it.
"Of course. I wouldn't do that to any of my friends. I'm not like that."
"I thought it seemed out of character. I'm glad to hear that." Squall frowned, "are you okay?"
"Okay," Zell blinked, confused?
"You said, Selphie was comforting you about something. Do you want to talk about it?"
Oh, eee, how do I get out of this one? 'Oh sure, I want to talk about it. You see I am in love with you and am stressing because you're straight. Zell smiled, "I'll be okay. I really don't feel like talking about it."
"Oh, well," Squall frowned, "I'm here when you want to talk." Why do I feel upset that he went to Selphie first?
Smiling, Zell stood up, "okay, thank you. I'll see ya in the room, later." Zell waved and headed out of Squall's office.
"Yeah, see ya," Squall whispered.
Squall, are you okay?
Yeah, sure Shiva. I just feel funny.
Oh, jealous?
Squall frowned, Yeah. Why?
"So, what do ya say," Seifer asked Selphie? They were both sitting on the girls couch, and Seifer had just finished telling Selphie about his new roommate's birthday.
Grinning, Selphie jumped up, "oh this is going to be great."
"So you'll help?"
"Of course. So when is his birthday?" Selphie grabbed Quistis's laptop, and quickly sighed on. Quistis let her use it whenever she wanted. Smiling, Selphie opened Gaiasoft word.
"It's in a few weeks. And it's his sweet sixteen."
"Ooh, sweet sixteen." Selphie quickly wrote a few ideas down.
"Yeah, he's new and shy, so he didn't want it to be a to big of deal. But he was okay with me inviting you guys, that is if you want to come."
"Oh course we do...eee, this is going to be so fun. Hmm, should it be a themed party? Romeo and Juliet."
Seifer laughed, a amused look on his face. "I don't think that theme will work, either. I mean he could be Romeo, but who would be Juliet?"
Selphie smirked, "why you of course."
Seifer blushed, "okay just what are you saying, sugar girl?"
"Seifer, I have eyes. Every time you talk about him, you get this far off look in your eyes. And besides, you were always checking Squall and Irvy out."
"What!?"
Selphie laughed, "don't try to deny it. I'll let it go, that you were checking out my boyfriend."
Seifer rolled his eyes, "whatever. Okay, so I'm gay."
Giggling, Selphie wrote some more things down, "I knew it! Aww, Seifer has a crush on a cute blonde."
"Be carful where you say that," Seifer warned, "people will think you mean Zell."
Selphie shrugged, "so, let them think what they want. And Zell's a little cutie, anyone how snags him will be one lucky gu...er girl"
"Oh, ho, ho, no you don't, Selphie. You were about to say guy. Zelly is gay?"
Selphie slapped her head, feeling so bad. "I'm so dead. Please Seifer don't tell anyone. Only me, Quisty and Irvine Know about Zell. Pleaseeeee don't tell!"
"I won't. Don't worry." Seifer gave Selphie a puzzled look, "that's weird. You'd think Zell's best friend would know. So why doesn't lion boy know?"
Selphie paled, "oh, well, it was sort of an accident how Irvy and I found out. Zell had been telling Quistis and we overheard. I guess he hasn't told Squall, because you know, Squall doesn't seem open minded." Selphie hoped he would bye that line.
"I see," Seifer smirked. He hadn't bought that lie one bit. "So Zell's fallen love with his best friend."
"Of course not. No...no. um..hehe,...."
"Don't lie. Selphie you're the worst liar."
Slapping her head again, Selphie moaned, "I know. Oh, I'm so dead!"
"Cheer up. I won't tell. Doesn't mean, I can't try and make lion boy jealous.
Grinning, Selphie closed Quistis's laptop, "thanks. Okay, this party is a go. I'll make invitations for the others. Anyone else you're inviting?"
"Raijin and Fujin."
"Kay, got it."
