I glared down at the bloodied petals in my hands. Part of me knew I should throw these away, but another part of me wants to wash away the blood off these petals and hide them.

That part of me won. So I got up from bed and went to wash them in my bathroom. My throat hurts like hell. It was like I was pierced by a thousand little needles quickly. I wiped away the tears from my eyes as I held out my blood and saliva covered blue poppies.

Blue poppies. Somehow they remind me of Nagisa, the boy I was pining for. The reason for my suffering, but I could never hold it against him. How can I?

****************

The next day, I forced myself to get up from my comfortable and fluffy bed, and prepare for the day. Today I would be playing the happy go lucky best friend with zero worries in the world! I practiced my well written lines in my head, dyed my hair the right color, this time choosing a slightly darker green

And then smiled at my reflection. "Gooood morning Nagisa!" I energetically greeted my reflection. "How've you been? Did you see that new bakery that opened up? Wanna check it out with me?"

I shifted my tone to be less energetic. "Good morning Nagisa" I said simply, sweetly. "Did you see that new bakery that just opened up? I haven't had the chance to go yet... Hey, wanna go with me?"

Perfect.

I was just about to leave, when I doubled over and started coughing, and then half way through I started vomiting out bloody blue roses and hyacinths.

I vomited some more, for ten more minutes.

"Aaagh" I groaned I wiped the blood from my mouth.

I stared at the bloody flowers.

Maybe I should skip today?

But no. That'll only arouse suspicion, they'll be worried for me. So I decided to suck it up, wash my face, and wash the flowers.

Afterwards I gathered them in a jar and his the jar in my closet.

Throwing the blue flowers one last longing look, I reapplied my well crafted mask and left my house.

It's going to be a long day.

"Ohhh~Kayano~" the mischievous blonde girl trailed as she draped herself on my back. Her smile ever present on her pale face. "I've noticed you and Nagisa have been a lot closer these days... What's up with that?" She teasingly asked me.

"Nothing's going on" I giggled. "We've just been hanging out as friends do"

"Just the two of you?" She suggestively bounced her eyebrows.

"Karma tags along, and Isogai and Maehara" I pointed out, before going back to drawing my chocolate cake.

"Ugh, third wheelers" She muttered, annoyed. I snickered instead, and returned my attention to my drawing. The corners of my lips drooled at the sight of my drawing of my chocolate cake.

My stomach grumbled, and I licked my lips. Caaake~ tasty, delicious, juicy cake. I'm craving for a nice red velvet chocolate cake followed by vanilla pudding and pancakes. Money isn't an issue for me because of my background, so I can spoil myself as much as I want.

I probably shouldn't eat too much though. It'll all go to waste in the end when I start vomiting again.

"He's lookin' at you" Rio whispered, shaking my shoulder.

I didn't believe her one second.

"Look! Nagisa's peeking at you, just look his head is shifted in out direction!" The blonde mischief maker insisted. I wasn't falling for it at all.
