As far as it goes, though, there was little going on in that department to begin with. Quistis didn't have a chance with Squall before Rinoa came along simply because she's not the type that would gain the attention of his heart. Squall could tell Rinoa to shut up and she would be all "Meanie! Why do you push people away?! Talk to me! I'm not going away!" He could have said the same thing to Quistis and she would have said "...Okay" and wandered off to sulk.
Yes... because, when you get rejected from someone (I just imagine, ), you try to find reasons to get your dignity up. Quistis said, on the beach "A misunderstood love?"...
but what would happen if Squall corresponded to her, before she realized that?
The possibility was there in fact... and it upseted me that you don't have the choice to love her... and worse, you have to be rude with her in the Training Center's secret zone!
I just know that Quistis is awesome... beautiful, intelligent, sensitive, powerful... if she was real, I'd surely be in love with her!
(And I'm gay!)
