*Tomoko's POV* (from the bathroom scene)
Tomoko still feeling ashamed, continued to cry into her sempai's chest, after realizing her struggles to escape the girls clutches was futile. Within the small girls head was mixture of emotions, sadness, fear, humiliation, anger, and suddenly a slight comfort, as she felt herself being held by a firm but gentle hand, rubbing her back. Hearing the words "it's okay." Disturbs her, and only fuels her sadness, as she thinks to her self "I'm not okay...but maybe... Maybe for this moment I can be okay..."
Tomoko did not realize, or Remember, when she had fallen asleep, as she awakes from an awkward, but definitely comfortable position. Thinking to herself she wipes her eyes of sleep. "When did I fall asleep-" her thoughts are cut short after seeing her familiar sempai staring down at her, realizing her situation Tomoko begins to panic. Mentally, and almost physically screaming, she tries to apologize as fast as possible and quickly bolts to the door swinging it open with unmatched speed. She heard what sounded like Megumi slipping, but at this point fear had taken, and as she sprinted down the hall away from the bathroom.
Still running she thinks about going back to class, but the thought came across of Megumi, checking on her in class asking if she was okay. "Yeah that would too embarrassing..." Plus her uniform still had traces of snot from crying and wiping her face repeatedly. "My eyes are probably still red, then they'd think I'm some kind of pathetic toddler." Finally stopping to catch her breath, she sprung an idea. "I've got it, I could say I got sick and puked in the bathroom, If they think otherwise, I could prove it!" Imagining the conversation between her and the nurse. "Oh, dear look your eyes are red, it must've been really awful and you might of gotten it on you uniform, come on back, I'll grab a change of clothes and you go ahead and rest". Thinking of this she started walking towards the nurses room, upon passing her classroom she sees her classmate, Nemoto, and begins to speed up her walking to pass her before she notices her, but it was in vain, as she turns and sees Tomoko, "hi, Kuroki-sa-". Tomoko kept walking faster speeding past Nemoto. "That was close, I don't have time for that, if I had turned around she would've definitely seen that I had been crying."
Finally reaching the nurses office, she walked in the familiar room, the nurse, upon seeing Kuroki already knew the drill, seeing as how Tomoko came by quite often. "What's wrong Kuroki-san?" Tomoko, just slightly more comfortable with her company spoke. "I-I got sick during lunch, and puked a lot..." The nurse spoke awkwardly in response to Tomoko's blunt explanation. "...o...ok...um, go ahead and rest, your uniform's a little dirty, I'll get you a change of clothes. As the nurse turns into a large drawer of clean clothes Tomoko grins to herself, on how well her plan is coming along, as the nurse sets the clothes on the bed, a student comes to the door, asking for her assistance. "Right, lead the way, all be back in a few minutes Kuroki-san, go ahead and change, then get some rest, ok?". "Yes ma'am" she replies, as the nurse and the student leave. After changing her clothes, to some older gym shirt, and gym shorts she climbed on the bed and relaxed as she knew she was skipping classes and avoiding all of her troubles. Grinning to herself she slowly drifted asleep...
*Megumi's POV*
Megumi sat in her desk looking rather distant, as she watched the clock, something she rarely did, the hand struck at 2:00. "Oh, classes are almost over." Speaking under her breath, as she tried to pay attention, her day had been full of surprises and had left her worried, distant, and thoughtful. Her attention was caught by a conversation between two girls next to her. "So did you give it to him?" One of the girls whispered, the other girl responded quite sheepishly, "well...I..I..couldn't." The other girl felt her mood, and responded with some words of encouragement. Upon eavesdropping on their conversation she was reminded that it was indeed Valentine's Day and was even more surprised that she had forgotten about her chocolates in her bag. Waiting for classes to end, Megumi, impatiently began to pack her things so that she could be the first one out of the door, keeping her promise to check on Tomoko, after she ran away. Thinking about this upset her, as she reflected on Tomoko's well being. "I really hope she's okay." Megumi said to herself as she began to worry again. "Also, why was she eating her lunch in the bathroom, like that... Maybe...maybe she's being bullied?" Thinking about this she felt sick to her stomach. Just then the teacher called for attention, to go through closing of the school day, the bell rung and she quickly left the classroom, bound for the nurses room. Moving through the halls at a quicker pace, being sure not to break the running rule, she made it down the busy hall of kids moving in and out of classrooms. finally being able to see the small sign sticking out from the wall that read, "nurse's office". As she came to the door she noticed it had a sign on the door itself. The sign was one of those "sorry but I'm out at the moment come back later." Signs. She sighed, "looks like I'm gonna have to wait". "Hang in there Imae-san" a familiar voice is heard, as she turns she's met with the school nurse. "Don't worry I'm back from my call, just in time eh?" Giggling, as she unlocks the door. "Now what was it that you needed?" "I'd like to check on a friend of mine." Megumi says, as she and the nurse enter the room. "A friend you say?" The nurse asks. "Well, I heard from a student that Kuroki-san came here, is that true, is she her? "Ah, yes, Kuroki-san, she came here a few hours ago, I guess she wasn't feeling good, but yes she's still here." She reassures Megumi "I had no idea you to had become such good friends." The nurse says this, with what seemed to be, gentle eyes of happiness.
