Estuko entered her first year at Hyakkaou Private Academy with her two best friends, Tsuzura and Rei. She was hoping to fly under the radar and only gamble when absolutely necessary. Especially after her two best friends became house pets- part of t...

"THERE'S GOING TO BE A little sting," the nurse says as she gets a cloth and pours rubbing alcohol on it. She starts to rub the cuts and I hiss. Sachiko holds out her hand and I grab onto it.
After the nurse is done cleaning the cuts she puts some Neosporin on it and wraps it in gauze.
"Would you like to stay in here the rest of the day?" the nurse asked me and I just shook my head. I was planning on just going and hanging out in the gambling den.
Sachiko helps me stand up and the nurse coos a little bit.
"Aw! You guys are just the cutest couple ever. She's so good with you, Estuko." I had to tell the nurse my name when I came in to be treated.
As if that struck a nerve in Sachiko she quickly let go of me, I must be on my way now." and then she books it out of the room. she somehow is still elegant even in her heist to leave.
"Thank you so much. Have a great rest of your day," I tell the nurse before walking out of the office. I didn't have any shoes so I was currently walking barefoot throughout the halls. Making my way quickly to the den. Trying to hold in the winces.
Now that I wasn't wearing the shoes it felt a little better but they still stun, burned, and throbbed.
When I make it to the gambling den I sit on the desk and curl up.
Maybe Sachiko wasn't that bad. She was really nice taking me to the nurse and staying with me. Not a lot of people would do that, no one on the student council especially. That and she's one of the cruelest members on the student council. To be gentle and care for someone the way she did was strange and oddly nice.
I ended up falling asleep, thinking of her.
"ESTUKO, YOU HAVE TO wake up. We are going to start to hold gambling matches now."
"Give me five more minutes."
"No. You have to get up now." and then I'm pushed off the desk and onto the floor.
"Hey! I'm already injured. No need to injure me more." I say opening my eyes. Mary stands above me meaning she was the one who pushed me off the desk.
"Oh god! What happened to your ankles Estuko?" Yukimi says coming to stand beside Mary.
"Someone put razors in Tsuzura's shoes and I made her switch shoes with me. I'm fine really." I sit up and look around the room. I notice that it's all decorated and ready to go for guests. There is an absence I notice, though "hey where's Rei? She should be here right?"
"She was supposed to be but she texted me and said something came up." That struck me as odd. Rei isn't the kind of person to do that.
"I'm sure she's fine. No need to worry." Yukimi says, trying to get the conversation off of Rei. For some reason Yukimi seemed to not like her-- even though she didn't acknowledge she even existed when in the room with her. "Anyway, I have these costumes. I'm sure they'll attract people. More specifically the guys." she pulls out maid costumes.
