Chapter 3:
After Haruka and Michiru had dropped Hotaru off at school, she drove herself and Michiru to their school. On the drive there Michiru couldn't help but notice how lost in thought her girlfriend looked.
"Something on your mind?"
Michiru asked, not receiving an answer from the tall blonde next to her. Truth be told, Haruka was still thinking about the number she had seen on the scale. Whenever a number she didn't like appeared on it, it haunted her for the rest of the day.
"Haruka."
Michiru spoke again, placing her hand on Haruka's knee in the process.
"Huh, did you say something Michi?"
Haruka asked, finally being pulled from her thoughts.
"I asked if there was something on your mind. Judging by the fact that you didn't answer right away, it's safe to assume that there is. Which leads me to my next question. What's on your mind?"
"It's nothing."
"Are you sure?"
Haruka gave a nod, then focused her attention back on the road.
If there was one thing Michiru knew about her girlfriend it was that she had a hard time opening up, and talking about her feelings. Still though she could tell something was on her mind. Only question now though was, what could it be?
"You know I'm always here for you, if you ever want to talk about anything."
"I know."
Haruka said, reaching down and giving her girlfriend's hand a gentle squeeze.
A few moments later they pulled into the parking lot of the school. Haruka then turned off the engine of her car, and the two girls sat in silence for a few minutes.
"Are you sure there's nothing on your mind?"
Michiru asked, curious as to why Haruka didn't step out of the car right away like she normally does.
"Positive."
Haruka then pulled her keys out of the ignition, and opened the door.
"Come on, we don't want to be late."
With that said Haruka stepped out of the car followed by Michiru, whom was still wondering what her girlfriend was keeping from her.
"She's hiding something."
