�You do realize that you are going to be his roommate,� said Squall with a hint of amusement in his voice, watching the color drain out of Selphie�s face. Seifer grumbled and left the office.
Thanks to Selphie, Seifer had to get up at 8 in the morning to go to class. The alarm clock rang. Grumbling, Seifer got up to take a shower. When he went to class, he tried hard to pay attention, but couldn�t. He logged on to the chat room. He read some of the entries and almost laughed out loud. Thanks to one of the entries, he did laugh out loud� in class. The instructor walked over and saw that he is in one of the chat room.
�Not paying attention are we Mr. Almasy,� Quistis said.
�No instructor,� Seifer said trying to keep a straight face.
�Mr. Almasy, go to the headmaster office,� said the blond instructor. Seifer got out of the class, looking angry.
�Seifer, what did you do?� Headmaster Cid asked.
�Nothing really. I know all that she is teaching,� said Seifer.
�I know you do, but you still have to pay attention,� the Headmaster said.
�I know, I know,� Seifer replied.
Blond haired Zell came running into the cafeteria. He stopped in front of Selphie.
�Hey Zell,� Selphie said.
�Hey, Headmaster Cid wanted to see you,� Zell replied.
�Headmaster Cid? Why?� Selphie asked Zell.
�Dunno,� Zell replied with a shrug.
�Bye,� Zell ran out with a wave.
�Bye�� Selphie replied with a tiny wave. Selphie walked out of the cafeteria and toward the elevator, wondering why Headmaster Cid would want to see her. She did need help with the Garden Committee and she asked Headmaster Cid if he could just look for more people to volunteer. She opened the door to Headmaster Cid�s office. She saw a very angry Seifer.
�Hi Seifer, Headmaster Cid,� said Selphie cheerfully after she saluted.
�Hi Selphie. You told me that you need some extra help with the Garden Committee, right?� asked Headmaster Cid.
�Right,� Selphie replied.
�Mr. Almasy here is kind enough to volunteer his free time to help out, right Seifer?� Headmaster Cid asked.
�Yes sir,� Seifer said in a strained voice. Selphie looked over to Seifer and saw that he had a look that says quite plainly that he�s going to kill Headmaster Cid and Selphie.
�Great! Seifer, tomorrow at 7 in the morning okay?� Selphie said in a cheerful voice. Seifer nodded and left without saying a word.
�Hi Seifer,� greeted Selphie. Seifer just grunted sleepily. Selphie giggled before she started talking.
�Today we need to finish painting the poster. I�ll go get the paint,� Selphie said and then walked away. Seifer took a look at the poster. It says �Garden Committee 2004� and under that �Love! Peace! And Happiness!� all of them in huge block letters. Selphie came back with big cans of paint. Seifer came over to help Selphie with the cans.
�Thanks,� Selphie said. They started painting. 4 hours had passed and they were only halfway done.
�We�re going to finish this tomorrow,� Selphie said in a tired voice. Seifer was very glad that they were quitting. He got up and walked away from the quad.
�Hey! You have to come tomorrow you know!� Selphie shouted at his retreating back.
�I know!� Seifer yelled back.
�Hey,� said a voice behind Selphie. She turned around and saw Irvine leaning against the doorway to her room.
�Hey, Irvine,� said Selphie cheerfully, hugging him.
�Wanna have breakfast?� Irvine asked.
�I would love to but, I have to finish painting the banner with Seifer. Sorry,� Selphie said.
�That�s okay,� Irvine said with a bit of disappointment.
�But I would love to have lunch with you,� Selphie said quickly.
�It�s a date. See you then. Bye,� Irvine said before walking out.
�Bye,� Selphie said. Selphie got up from her bed and walked over to Seifer�s room.
�Hey,� Selphie said to a sleeping Seifer.
�Hmm,� Seifer rolled over and went back to sleep. Seifer�s alarm rang then. Seifer got up grumbling. Selphie giggled. Seifer looked at her with a death glare.
�What do you want?� Seifer mumbled.
�Remember? You�re supposed to help me with the Garden Committee,� Selphie said.
�Yeah, yeah,� Seifer muttered. He got up to take a shower.
�Hey, I�m leaving. Remember to come, �kay?� Selphie asked.
�I know, don�t nag,� Seifer said through the door of his bathroom.
Selphie arrived at the quad and pulled the banner out and laid it out. Seifer came and got the paints.
�Hey, thanks,� Selphie said. They started to paint. Seifer stole a glance her way. Selphie was busy painting to notice him staring. Seifer went back to painting, smiling instead of his usual smirk. After they were finish, Selphie collapse onto the floor. Seifer collapsed next to her.
�I don�t want to see a drop of paint in my life anymore,� Selphie announced. Seifer laughed, a deep sound. Selphie laughed along, a pretty, tinkling sound. Seifer sat up and smirked down at her.
�Seifer, you should laughed more. I like the way it sounds,� Selphie told him, sitting up too. Selphie started to clean up and Seifer helped her.
