Mental - HinaYachi

Chapter 1

Chest pains, heavy breathing, dizziness, and sweating. It's coming. She can feel it. She begs for silence but afraid to do so. Everyone in the classroom is having a huge commotion about some upcoming activities which she doesn't give a crap. All she knew is she's on the verge of having one again. What's worse is she's in the classroom. It would be totally embarrassing if her classmates saw her. Escape. That is the only thing running in her mind. But in her current situation, it would be tough. She would definitely catch most of the attention while looking so frail, sick and vulnerable. She hates hogging attention. But she has no other choice but to pass several students while pretending to look okay. They won't care after all, right?

She took up all her courage and push herself out of her seat. She tries to walk straight towards the front to excuse herself to the teacher in front. The class was still in havoc so only a few looks at her. She tensed a bit because of these stares but tries to ignore them. She stopped walking when she's finally in front of the teacher.

"U-um... can I go to the infirmary? I'm not feeling well," she tried to sound and look okay in front of the lady in her twenties. She clenched her fists. Pretending to be okay hurts when it's painful deep within. Endure it. Endure it.

"Sure, but do you want someone to take you there?" The teacher asked with a slightly worried face.

"No, it's fine. I can handle myself," the blonde girl replied with a smile, as much as possible, she tried to make it look like a real one.

"Okay then. Just take care, Yachi."

She nodded then went her way towards the door. Her dizziness is making her wobbly while walking but she tries to erase the weak thoughts and focused on her goal which is the infirmary. No good. Her breathing is racing and the pain in her turns more severe than earlier. She wanted to run but she'll get scolded for running in the hallway so she kept a high pace instead. Just a few steps and she's able to see it. She increased her speed and when she finally stood in front of the door, she knocks. It open for not long and a lady in white appeared. She looked terrified upon seeing the young girl in front of her.

"Oh my God, are you okay? Oh silly me, you're not okay. Come in, come in," the nurse invited her inside then closed the door after the girl has entered the room. She accompanied her to one of the free bed and told her to sit there and asks for anything she needs. The latter just shakes her head for she can barely breathe. She left her for a moment to grab something that can help.

Her fingers are now trembling and her body is shaking uncontrollably. The worst feeling has come to visit her again, the panic attack. She clutches her chest in pain. Tears start to fall from her eyes to her cheeks. Her chest heaves rapidly as she takes up air. It feels like she's about to die right now.

The nurse came back with a glass of water in her hand and a fan in the other. She puts the glass on the table beside the bed then sits beside her starts to fan her.

"It's my first time dealing with this so I have no idea what to do. I'm sorry," the nurse apologized then rubs the back of the younger girl. This eases her a little. The older lady continues this until she calmed down. She handed her the water and the latter took it and chugalug it all.

"Are you alright now?" The lady asks in a gentle voice. The student slowly nods.

"Well, that's good then. Just rest here while I record stuff, okay? Just call me when you need anything," the nurse smiled at her then stood up. She was about to walk when she remembers something. "Wait, what's your name?"

"Yachi Hitoka," she said in a low voice.

"I see. Then just lay there and rest, Hitoka-chan," the nurse said then went to her table.

Yachi sighed and rested her back on the bed. She grabs the pillow and placed it under her head. Not just the comforting the nurse did but also the peaceful silence calmed her. Though she's still a little dizzy and her arm are still shaking slightly, her breathing is already stable. She closes her eyes to relax. When she's about to sleep, the curtain beside her bed slides open. She slowly opens her tired eyes and turns her head to her right where the sound came from. A boy with a messy, orange hair was sitting on another bed. He has a bandage around his forehead and his left hand was shoving the curtain to see her. She feels uneasy at the fact that a stranger is staring at her, especially a boy. Guess he also heard her in her episode.

"Hey, what time is it already? I think I overslept. By the way, I'm Hinata."
