There was a faint response, though it was hard for me to hear. "Hm?" he said, his head under the desk as he had just dropped something, bumping it on his way up. "Ah, Victoria! How nice to see you." He said, his left had reaching up to the bump from the desk, his right hand reaching out for a business-like handshake. "Please, the pleasure is all mine sir.. Uh.. Um.. Sir." I stuttered trying to remember the specifics of the agreement `Father? Sir? What did he want to be addressed as?` I asked myself, though my memory failed me. "Nonsense Victoria, the pleasure is all mine!" He smiled brightly. "I'm glad to see you've been well, and that you've put in hard work to keep up with your grades enough, and receive a successful scholarship." I bowed my head to show respect after shaking his hand, taking a step back, amongst curtseing with my dress. He could see my eyes widden as I had forgotten the time once more, and dismissed me so I could make me way along the halls. Classes were about to start and the last thing I wanted was to be late for my first day. Class 1A was the room name, and while I was excited, there was also nervousness that followed suit to be meeting the new people I would eventually be calling classmates. Just as I was walking along the hallway, one of the staff poked their head out of their classroom door and gave a one minute bell warning to everyone so those who still walked the halls could be made aware they would soon be tardy. My feet slid across the floor like a train on its tracks, with haste, and on a set course. All the while without my noticing, a taller student ran towards me at full speed, books in hand I couldn't stop him and his shoulder slammed into mine on the way past me. I squealed helplessly as the weight of my dress on top of the weight of the books in hand, pulled me backwards, and aided in gravity slamming my head up against a locker. It hurt, badly.
From then, everything felt like a black and white movie, sputtering certain pictures every 5 seconds, all I could remember was seeing another young lady like myself who must have been rushing to her own class screaming before everything became nothing more than a final blur into darkness. The same man from earlier with the black hair, Kyoya, was by my side when I had awaken, propping his glasses further up the bridge of his nose with his pointer finger before releasing a bit of a sigh of relief as my eyes fluttered open. "Seem to be a bit of trouble, aren't you?" He said softly, trying not to shake me up too much, as I collected my bearings. "Ishikawa, Victoria. Am I correct?" I nodded, wincing afterwards as it felt like my head had been shattered into different pieces. It quickly made contact once more with the soft and comforting pillow, and I chose to use my thumb as indication to show thats what it was. "I see. Unfortunately, your uniform was covered in blood.. So until further notice we have to give you a bit of an awkward replacement. Its the male uniform, I hope thats okay?" I paused for a moment to think about it, and came to a conclusion. "I guess, am I already to get up now? I have a class to attend." He looked at me wide eyed with a sense of shock, the expression slowly turning into a smile. "Ofcourse you can, I don't see why not. You seem stubborn, and nothing here looks too bad." I laughed as I rubbed my head again, finally noticing the bandage job one of the nurses had probably done for me. "Kyoya was it?" I asked again to confirm. "Thank you for the chat, I appreciate it." Before I could even stop myself and reel back, I lunged forward into a hug, and kissed him on the cheek. My eyes widened at my own stupidity, and I took a couple steps back in apology. My cheeks grew a bright rose, and there I stood with a very apparent, and obvious blush. He was in shock from it too. "It's okay Victoria, a natural reaction I suppose." he mentioned to make me feel better justifyingly. "Anyways Madame, I'll be outside of the curtains waiting to escort you, as my brothers said you'll need to be watched over for the rest of the day. I smiled, and nodded very slightly. "Okay, one moment!"
Slipping the given uniform on, I quickly had everything on, and used some time to adjust the tie properly into a final position. I figured it would be nice to properly look into a mirror and see how bad I looked, and to my surprise, I saw something that made me shriek more so loud than any bird on the planet could. Kyoya bolted through the curtains almost hitting me with his elbow on the way in. "What's wrong Victoria?" He aske dme, his eyes wide, scanning for any blood, or problems that could have arisen, calming down as he saw me touching my head in each and every place, finally reaching for my neck to run my fingers through my long hair that was suddenly absent. "I guess I should have mentioned that before, my apologies. That hit against your head was pretty serious. So much so that we were afraid it was internally damaged aswell. Because of your thick, and full hair in the way, the nurse staff couldn't see anything to indicate such. A decision was made to remove your hair, for your safety." He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, as he watched me upset and kicking my foot back and forth against the tile floor as if there was a rock in the way. "I see... you wouldn't... have a fix, would you?" He chuckled a little to try and lighten the mood as he called for a few cosmetology students to wait outside the curtain. It was then he took me out to meet all of them. "Does this answer your question?" He smiled, as my eyes welled up with happiness. "Y...es" I said, scanning my options in awe. It was like a rainbow of assortments and different accessory options, but there was one that definitely caught my eye the most. "This ones nice.." I pointed out. Though it wasn't a traditional choic, it was definitely something that could make any girl stand out and those around would have a growing fondness. A nice blonde that glowed in the daylight, with dip dyed colors of the rainbow around the ends, curled perfectly to almost make the pattern of one too. A beautiful tiara lay above it aswell, unlike the other ones. Though, I instinctively also had a very weird feeling about this, with not even the slightest clue of what was to come.
I looked at him curious as he returned my subtle gaze. "Ah I see, so you've figured it out?" He paused. "I know it seems like its a bit much, and you just went through a little bit of an issue, but.. I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining a group that I run, and manage. Are you interested? It wouldn't pull you from your studies, and might help you on your business ventures Ms. Ishikawa."
