Chapter 3

Black Heart

Sanako's P.O.V

I awoke in a miserable gaze. My eyes hurting from the stupid bright as hell light that was staring down at me. I turned my head to the side, groaning.

"Oh! Your up!" Yuki's voice was heard, ringing in my barely conscious mind. My half lidded eyes glanced around a white, cozy room.

"You're in the nurses office, you fainted this morning." Yuki informed, her voice nothing but concern. The memory came back to me. I felt my cheeks heat up, as I sighed deeply. Great, I had just totally humiliated myself! And on the first day too! I'm so stupid! I mentally beat myself up.

Ah...but that guy, he was so angle-like. I had never meet someone so perfect, so drop dead gorgeous as him. Especially with those mysterious topaz eyes of his, they were so brilliant and outstanding. It was all great, but, of course he wouldn't want me. He wouldn't even consider me...but..why did he smile? No! He was just being nice! I tried to tell myself. I should just forget about him now, there's not going to be a future between us, that was a given fact. And he was in the night class, which I'm still confused about, and I'm in the day...maybe the night class is a special class filled with super attractive students! That at least made some sort of sense...and the day class is for normal people, or those you nobody cares for or even looks at, as myself. But, that guy looked at me...wait! I don't even know his name! How-

"Sanako?" Yuki's voice brought me back to reality, sadly. I stared at her, siting up in the hard nurses bed.

"Y-yes..?"

"Are you okay?"

"Y-yes! I'm wonderful! Please don't worry about m-me." I didn't want to give the poor girl more trouble.

"Are you sure? Y-"

"I'm fine!" I blurted. I wasn't about to stay in this creepy nurse room all day, I'd rather be in the scary, quiet hallway.

"Okay, well do you want to continue the tour?"

"Sure."

This time, the halls were filled with happy teenagers. That's good, no one eerie hallway, woohoo! I got a few glares, here and there that I just ignored. I was already getting hated and was becoming 'the girl who fainted, haha, what an idiot!'. I sighed and continued to follow Yuki, who was looking worse every minute. So, for her own good, I acted like I knew where everything was at, to shorten the tour. This girl NEEDED sleep, bad. The scenery here was gorgeous, with its rich plants and old looking buildings. Yes, I know, your probably thinking I'm going to get scared but old buildings were peaceful to me. I tried to pay attention to Yuki and try to remember where everything was at, but this place had like five libraries, too many rooms, and too many buildings! Ah! My slow brain was never going to remember this place! I might get kicked out sooner than what I imagined. Well, it was great while it lasted.

"And lastly, those are the moon dorms." She lazily pointed to some old, castle-like buildings. "It's were the night class stays."

Night class. Okay! I had to ask now! "Uh...Yuki..who are the night class?"

For some weird reason she stiffened and forced a grin on her face. "Oh uh, they're just regular students who go to class at night."

Regular? They didn't seem no where near regular to me.

"Uh, hey why-"

Before Yuki could finish her sentence there was some rattling in some nearby bushes.

"Ahhh!" I automatically screamed, jumping at least three more feet away from the possessed bush, covering my eyes in fear. After I finally realized how I was acting, I blushed and fixed my posture. "S-sorry." I muttered, mentally stabbing myself. I AM SO STUPID!

Thankfully, Yuki was more focused on the two girls who came out from hiding in the bushes. They were day class girls.

"Hey! It's almost past twilight! Please head back to your dorm!" She asked politely.

"No way! Not without seeing my dear Idol!"

I giggled, that name again?

"Or Shiki!"

"Please! You must go back to your dorms!"

The girls were about to argue back until a voice I recognized yelled, "Get back to your dorms now!"

I even flinched. The two girls ran away, screaming and crying. I watched in amazement.

"Zero! Do you have to be such a grouch?" Yuki whined, looking up at the guy who had made my cry this morning.

His gaze landed on me. I froze. So his name was Zero? Hpm, zero happiness.

He groaned. "You again?"

"Hey! She's new! Be nice!"

"I don't care..." He mumbled rudely, turning to gaze at me evilly. "Go to your dorm, now."

Without speaking, I quickly walked past him. Trust me, I didn't want to listen to him, but it was better than being yelled at. I heard footsteps follow after me. I turned to see the only person I sort of like at this academy, Yuki. I quickly rubbed my tears away.

"Hey, don't worry about Zero. He's just in a bad mood, he didn't mean any of that." Yuki apologized for her mean friend.

"It's okay." I was used to it.

Yuki and I walked silently, or awkwardly, back to my dorm. And yes, down that damn hallway! I opened my dorm, ready to take a nice warm shower (that I luckily didn't have to share) and lay in my warm cozy bed.

"T-thank you, Yuki." I thanked her, smiling sweetly.

"No problem, I'm sure you'll love it here at Cross Academy. It'll be like your second home!" I forced back the thought of it acutally being my third home.

"Yeah." I just wanted to agree with the girl, I was tired and so was she.

I looked at my feet for about ten seconds uncomfortably, until I felt her arms wrap around me.

"Don't worry, Sanako. You're going to love it here."

"Um...o-okay." Why was she hugging me?

When she pulled away she smiled. "Good night."

"Good n-night." I mumbled, still recovering from that awkward moment.

With a wave good bye, she walked away.

I was glad for her to leave. Hopefully she was going straight to bed, the girl needed it. She was also getting kind of annoying. I guess not being around people that much changes you. I needed some alone time. I sighed as I gathered my blue and green pajamas and a soft white towel and walked into my bathroom. It was pretty good size for my standards. I decided I wanted to take a bath, I had a long day and my muscle were still sore and slightly throbbing. I started the water, getting it to the right temperature, warm but a bit cold. I undressed quickly, the faster to get out of that horrible skirt. I stared at my body before gently siting inside the tub filled with warm, refreshing water. My scars had healed already. I needed more refreshing. I grabbed my purple razor and roughly scratched it across my fragile skin. It hurt, a lot, but I deserved it. I guess this is another day the guilt wont kill me. Maybe tomorrow? The clear, bubbly water soon turned into a bloody mix. I played in the bath for a little, letting my former blood tickle my thin fingers, letting in soak into my hair, and letting it flow into my mouth. I let my hands rest in the red bubbles that coated areas all over my body. I was relaxed. The warm red water was making me sleepy. If I fall asleep here, I would for sure drown. Good? Yes. I sank lower in the water, until me nose was in it. I breathed out, making small bubbles appear, some popped open, and small red crimson dots of water flew out. I closed my eyes, my body feeling weak. I would die like this.
