Part one of the chapter. They're going to eh movies…wonder what will happen there, in the dark… in the night…. In mass public…
Tohru caught Uo and Hana as they were leaving the cafeteria. She jogged up to them clutching her bag tightly to her chest, hair bouncing off her back.
"Hey Tohru, where were you?" asked Hana.
"Yeah why weren't you at lunch today, you missed Kyo shoot noodles out his nose." Uo said to her.
"Well if was not entirely Kyo's fault, Yuki gave him a good face planting." Hana added in more for herself than anybody.
"Hey," Uo said, taking a good look at Tohru, "what's wrong with you? You sick or something? You look like you've been through hell."
They allowed the flow of the crowd steer them around the corner down the next hall.
"Yes, now that you mention it, Tohru you do look a bit worse for the wear." Said Hana, raising her brown in sympathy.
"You know Tohru I'd say you have the look about you of one who has just spent a great deal of time shitting their brains out in the bathroom." Uo said as she waggled her brows.
Tohru smiled and looked down in the modest way of hers, "No I did spend lunch in the bathroom but I'm not sick…I just haven't been sleeping lately. I feel exhausted." Tohru admitted, quite truthfully she reasoned.
'It's not lying, just withholding information.'
She stopped walking as she reached her classroom. "Mm, well I guess this Is where I get off. I appreciate you're concern…" Tohru trailed off, this didn't seem like the right way to end their conversation. "Maybe I'll see you all later.." She finished, it wasn't really a question.
Her friends smiled and nodded and began to walk away when Uo stopped and about-faced.
"Hey," she said (making a friendly hand gesture), " Listen Hana and I are going to see this movie on Friday, you should come along. You sit around like a hermitage all day."
Hana rolled her eyes. "The correct word is hermit Uo."
Uo waved her off indifferently, "Were between Session 9 and Lovers Prayer." Uo grinned, "So what do you say?"
Tohru waited until the bell finished its shrieking to issue her reply. She opened to the door to the classroom and then said, "Yes, it'll be fun to go out with you two, of course I'll come!" She forced a smile, waved, and walked in, closing the door behind her.
Though the prospect was exciting and an outing with her best friends would most assuredly be fun for all, Tohru just couldn't bring herself to be excited about it quite yet. At least not until she'd flushed her system of that encounter, and gotten some good solid sleep.
i recommend those movies btw.
