*Today. Today is our test.*

Aria: (Rubs eyes, sits up from mattress.)

*I hear a knocking on the door.*

Maid: Young Mistress? May I come in?

It's so early in the morning, maybe just the crack of dawn. Should I let her in?

A.Yes. She promised me to bring my uniform at this hour.

B.No! It's way to early. Tell her to go away, and you'll get extra time to sleep.

Aria: C-Come in...Azami.

*I watch Azami walk in and she sets my uniform over my dresser. Azami helps me up and removes the bandage from my wrist. She also removes the bandage from my cheek.*

Maid:Mistress, are your wounds feeling any better?

Aria: (Nods Head)

Maid: You should ge dressed now. I made you breakfast, and if you hurry. You may be able to eat it without anyone noticing. Not even the other Maids of servants.

Aria: (Nods Head)

Maid: I'll let you dress, Young Mistress.

*Strange. I'm not for certain how I feel about the way the Patterson's treat me. Yet the way Azami treats me seems...different.*

Aria: (Dresses into uniform and walks out of basement.*

Maid: (Hands Aria a piece of toast with strawberry jam. And a bento for lunch.)

Aria: (Looks up to Azami.)

Maid: Young Mistress, eat up! Plus..the bento is for lunch. Ok?

Aria: Mhm.

Maid: That's right! You have a meeting after school today, don't you?

Aria:(Nods head)

Maid: I almost forgot your class voted you for vice president.

Aria: (Stays quiet)

Maid:Well! Would you like me to pick you up after your meeting, or will you walk home?

Aria: U-umm...(Thinks about it)

Ethan: Azami! Come and pick out my tie and shoes for today's meeting! (Walks into kitchen)

Maid: Yes master! Right away. (Makes one glance back at Aria, then walks away.)

Ethan:(Approaches Aria)

Aria: (Stays still, nibbles on toast slowly.)

Ethan: (Knocks the food our of Aria's mouth.) Who the hell said you could eat?!

Aria: (Looks up to Ethan, with netrual expression.)

Ethan: I asked you a question, you little piece of shit.

Aria: I...

Ethan: (Swings arm back to hit Aria, but gets stopped by Minako)

Aria: (Glances over to Minako)

Ethan: (Shakes off Minako's grasp and walks away.)
