Chapter 2
“You never used the GFs in the battle. That was risky even for someone with your skill.”
“I’m still here but why don’t you just ask the question you really want to ask.”
“Oh I don’t need to do that. I asked Headmaster Cid for your file and it told me everything. Your father, the experiments…”
“Ënough!” Alexandra spun towards Quistis with burning rage on her face. “I appreciate your interest in my skills and your encouragement but I don’t want your nose in my business.”
Quistis tried to keep the smile from her face but failed miserably. She remembered when Squall had given her a similar rhetoric and it made her laugh then too. They were standing in the hall between the training area and the dorms.
“You are a lot like him you know. I used to laugh at him too. I like to think it helped toughen him up.” Quistis said with a laugh and started walking again. “We need people like him, like you. These are hard times.”
“I hope I am not being graded in comparison to the Commander. I want to be graded on my own merits.”
Oh no. You are not being compared to Squall.” Quistis stopped outside the sullen girl’s door. “I’ll leave you to get some rest. Go to the commander’s office at 1700 hours. He will explain your part in the mission.”
“Yes Ma’am” Without further comment, Alexandra went into her room and closed the door. She took off her jacket and hat and laid down to rest but she couldn’t sleep. Memories kept knocking at her consciousness. She rolled onto her side and drifted into a hazy slumber where all she could hear was herself screaming for her father to stop hurting her…….
Squall, Zell and Irvine walked out of the training area and went to the cafeteria and took their usual table by the window. Zell put down his tray of hotdogs and proceeded to gobble them down. Irvine watched Zell for a few moments with a look of disbelief on his face, he simply couldn’t see how any man could fit that many hotdogs in his stomach.
“I’ve never seen a person with that kind of ability before. How do you think she learned it?” Irvine asked.
“Quistis pulled out her personal file and gave it to me to read. She said it explained some things about her abilities. I haven’t read it though. I don’t like people poking their noses into my business so why should I do it to her. I have a meeting with her later on and if she wants to tell me she can do it herself.”
“I was talking with some of the other students about her while I was in line here. They say she is very withdrawn, surly and likes to visit the training area every night after lights out. A few people have heard crying from her room but that’s about it.” Zell chuckled. “A few of the instructors have said it was like training a female you.”
“Can you imagine what that would be like when it’s that time of the month?” Irvine said laughing with Zell. Squall, however, was not impressed. “I don’t think she would like us discussing her periods Irvine” He wore his trade mark scowl as he grabbed a hotdog off of Zell’s plate and started to eat.
“Uh oh! Maybe Squall has found some competition for Rin..” Irvine started to say then Zell punched him in the arm with a furious look on his face. Squall stopped eating and stared straight ahead for a few moments before getting up and leaving.
“Sweet Hyne’s ass Irvine! What the fuck is with you?” Zell said furiously.
“What are you talking about man? Where the hell is Rinoa anyway? I haven’t seen her since Selphie and I got back.” Irvine said.
Zell sighed and wiped his mouth. “I called Selphie when it happened. She was supposed to tell you.”
“Dude, we were on vacation. Do you know what happens when Selphie and I are on vacation? We fuck so much she is lucky if she can remember her name the next day.”
“Ok spare me the details till later and after I have had a few beers in me.”
“So what happened?” Irvine asked quietly.
“Well...Rinoa told everyone that her and Squall were just not right for each other after all, that they wanted different thing then she said she was going back to Timber.” Zell looked around to make sure no one was too close before continuing. “Squall and I were in his room drinking the night she left. Squall was really packing it away too. He got quiet then out of the blue he asks me if I wanted the real story behind Rinoa leaving. Well of course I had to hear this. He said that she didn’t want to have sex. He said she was great with kissing and cuddling but anything else and she got colder than Shiva in winter.
Irvine whistled. “Squall was getting blue balls in other words.”
“Oh yeah. Big time. He said he tried everything to get her in the sack. I kind of doubted that since he’s been so introverted most of his life so I asked him what exactly he did.”
“And?” Irvine asked after Zell had been quiet for a few moments.
“Rinoa is colder than the Trabia snowfields and Squall tried everything but raping her.” Zell said ruefully. “Honestly I was surprised by what he told me. I always thought the roles would be reversed. According to what Squall told me, he should have had Rinoa in a warm puddle of goo but she just kept shying out of it. Squall finally had enough and Rinoa left.”
“Poor guy. No wonder he looks like he’s about to explode. He really is!” Irvine said grimly.
“I’m still here but why don’t you just ask the question you really want to ask.”
“Oh I don’t need to do that. I asked Headmaster Cid for your file and it told me everything. Your father, the experiments…”
“Ënough!” Alexandra spun towards Quistis with burning rage on her face. “I appreciate your interest in my skills and your encouragement but I don’t want your nose in my business.”
