Chapter two:
The infirmary was not as grand as the outside of the building. Luckily, Yashiro led her down corridors and corridors of confusing rooms, before finding the infirmary. Inside, everything had an antique touch to it, as if the owner had decided to only 'touch up' the building.
Once they arrived, Yashiro knocked his hand against the wall, signalling for the nurse. What appeared was not what kyoko expected. A small lady, barely looking like an adult, spun her chair in view of the two. The name plate on her coat read "jelly woods – nurse" she looked at both of them.
"well hello Yashiro." She smirked at yashiro files he was holding. "how's that brat going? Wait a sec, don't tell me he's not eating again…" she started un opening draw shelves, looking for medicine. Yashiro interrupted.
"no, no that's not what I'm here for. Actually," he gestured to kyoko's hands. "she has a bit of an injury right now."
Jelly glanced at the girl's hands, before taking them and observing the cuts. "What have you done, darling? Did you fall into a rose bush?!" For a minute she looked at yashiro. "don't tell me… you aren't one of THOSE girls, are you?"
"those girls?" she didn't know what jelly meant, but the look between her and yashiro said he knew of it. He explained.
"Jelly thought you were one of the students she had dealt with in the past. You see… there is a teacher, that um, some of the students like to spy on. And, they seem to have no problems dealing with desperate measures."
"I… see." Kyoko angered at the thought. How some girls could be so foolish to think they'd have a chance. She suddenly realised the thought brought up unwanted memories, and quickly pushed it down. Yashiro and Jelly noticed this, but didn't comment. Jelly seemed grateful for kyoko's distraction. It seemed the girl didn't realise the alcohol on her hands. Before they knew it, she was ready to go.
"well," she looked at kyoko's now bandaged hands. "that should be better. I heard Yashiro said you were new. Do you have any idea were to go, darling?" the thought dawned on kyoko. She realised all the trouble she had caused must have confused her tour guide. The tour guide who was supposed to be waiting for her almost-
"An hour ago?!" kyoko shouted at the clock. Well, looks like she was going to be lost.
"now now," Jelly began. "it doesn't matter that much. I'm sure someone else can show you around." She looked at yashiro.
"I would but I have important things to do. Staff meeting day is today, we have quite a few this year." He looked at kyoko. "I wonder… if there was a student who could- "suddenly the door slammed open, revealing a very angry dark-haired woman.
"Mo!" she looked at Jelly. "that stupid WRETCH of a girl tried to cheat in soccer practice, and you would not believe the bruises she gave me!"
The girl lifted her leg to settle in on a spare chair, allowing jelly to look at it closer. The bruise was purple and blue, and ran all the way up past her thigh. Yashiro's eyes drifted, before he realised what he was doing. He coughed and looked away. Thankfully, no one seemed to notice.
After some inspecting, and cleaning, jelly let the girl rest her foot. Kyoko was in awe, proud of the sheer confidence from the girl. After a while, she noticed kyoko was staring at her.
"who's this?" she asked yashiro. "she's the new student in the senior year. Her name is Kyoko Mogami."
The girl warily shook her hand, unsure of kyoko just yet. "I'm Kanae Kotonami."
