Chapter 3: the truth

3 hours have passed since Tsuna passed out in front of his teacher's office. When he woke up he found himself in the nurse's office and to find his homeroom teacher beside him.

"Welcome back, Tsunayoshi. How are you feeling?" Asked Giotto in a very worried tone. As Tsunayoshi tried to sit up he felled back down on the bed, feeling really dizzy.

"The whole world is spinning" said Tsunayoshi feeling really sick. He has been sick but never enough to stop him from standing up and going to school.

"You passed out in front of my door from lack of sleep and malnutrition. Would you be very kind to tell me why haven't you been eating correctly, Tsunayoshi?" Asked Giotto in a worried yet serous tone. Tsunayoshi just looked away, he knew he hasn't been eating properly and it wasn't his own choses, he's father made a rule and every time he broke it he would he a beating and no meals for a whole week but he would still give him some water.

Giotto didn't like this one bit; the boy looked scared to talk, as if he would get in trouble just by talking to him.

"Please tell me, Tsunayoshi. I know I been your teacher only for two weeks but as a teacher I have to know if there are some problem in school or at home. So that you know that you have someone you can talk" Said Giotto in a kind tone. Tsunayoshi just looked at him and then away.

"I can't tell, or I'll be in trouble" Said Tsunayoshi in a voice then anyone could tell how he felt, fear.

'What could the boy be so scared of? Wait a second' Giotto though and he didn't even notice Tsunayoshi trying to get out the bed. When he did notice he saw the boy out of the bed putting his tie and school jacket on.

"Tsunayoshi, what you doing you should be in bed" said Giotto to Tsunayoshi. Tsunayoshi turned around.

"I'm sorry sir but I have to get home" said Tsunayoshi.

He knew if he is late home to make dinner he is dead meat. Giotto didn't like this one bit; he knew that the Tsunayoshi himself knew that he wasn't feeling. Then one idea popped into his head the question he wanted to ask the brunet.

"Is you father hurting you at home Tsunayoshi?" asked Giotto and the result was one which didn't like one bit. Tsunayoshi stop in a mid-step, turned around with a face that holds surprise and fear. If his teacher found out he is in so much trouble.

"n-no sir" said Tsuna in fear of his new teacher finding out. Giotto looked at Tsunayoshi and signed.

"Tsunayoshi can you tell me why you are lying" said Giotto to Tsunayoshi, he was really worried about the boy. Tsunayoshi just looked down; shoulders shaking and his breathing became shaky.

"What do you mean sir? I'm not lying I'm telling the truth" said Tsunayoshi who really was scared now.

"I can tell really easily when someone is lying to and it was never wrong. And by any chance you can't tell me because if what could happen to you" said Giotto to Tsunayoshi.
