"When I was younger," I began, "I loved to explore new things. Eventually I let my curiosity lead me to fire. It danced so beautifully. After that I started to play fire, and after being around it so much, and burning myself, my skin even built up resistance to it.
"The fire couldn't burn me anymore, and at one point, I set an empty house on fire. It burned up. After that I was sent to here, to an asylum."
I explained to Mori what they did to me, and that whenever I tired to escape they beat me.
"They tried to make me eat pills to change me. I wouldn't eat them. That was around the time I started trying to escape. Eventually I was able to run away. I made it here, talked to some people, and took the entrance exam for this school."
Mori remained silent throughout the whole thing. I tried to tell myself that he would still want to be my friend, but after a few minutes I turned away. Why would he want to be friends with me? I'm just some crazy phsyco.
To my surprise, he pulled me into a gentle hug, careful of my injuries.
"I'm sorry," he said.
That's all it took for me to lose it. I started to cry, and that turned into sobbing, he just held me there, not saying anything, but that was what I needed.
After I stopped crying, I fell asleep in Mori's comforting arms.
He was gone when I woke up, but I did not let my disappointment show itself, and got ready for school after going home.

Technically I wasn't supposed to be going back, or really moving at all, but I couldn't miss more school than I already have. There is already a lot to catch up on, not to mention Koyoya is probably peeved that I haven't been playing recently.
When I reached the school, I was tackled by two ginger haired twins.
"Your not supposed to be here today!" They exclaim in unison.
"I didn't want to stay all cooped up today, so you will have to live with it. Oh, isn't that ball thing coming up too? I wanted to ask if I could borrow a dress from you guys- ya know, 'since your mom is a fashion designer," I say.
They nod, and drag me to class. Along the way, they were talking of all the dresses that would look good on me, and only shut their mouths when the teacher started roll call.
When the last bell finally rang, I got up and cleared my desk, putting everything away in my bag. After putting the last item away, I walked to the club with Haruhi, as the twins had gone ahead of us.
"How are you feeling?" She asked, worry evident in her voice.
Before I could respond, she asked if I should really be at school, and if I was in any pain. I assured her that I was in no pain, and that it was fine to be at school. The only person who was aware that I wasn't supposed to be here didn't talk much, so I should be okay.
    My last statement was proven wrong the moment I stepped into the club room. The tall giant stalked towards me the moment his eyes caught sight of me. Mori's eyes showed it all; confusion, frustration, and maybe even some disappointment. The others didn't comment on it so I assumed the didn't notice, or couldn't tell.
  "What are you doing here?"
   "Attending the club, and if you'll excuse me, I need to get ready."
  Before I could walk any further, his giant hand stopped me.
  "You're not supposed to be here," Mori said with a quiet but firm voice.
  I sighed. The gig is up, and now everyone is aware I'm not supposed to be here. Tamale and the twins came up to me.
  "What does he mean-"
   "-you're not supposed to be here?"
The twins had curiosity and confusion written across their faces, and Tamaki was no different.
  "I wasn't supposed to go back to school for a while. I'm technically on bed rest."
Haruhi seemed annoyed.
   "I knew you shouldn't have been here so soon. Why did you lie?" She asked, annoyance clear in her voice.

"Unless the doctors want the hospital to be burnt down, I think it's best I go to school. Besides, I'm feeling fine and I can't stand staying in bed all the day."
   No one spoke after that, but people say actions speak louder than words. Instead of telling me to go home, a silent giant decided to grab me over his shoulder and take it upon himself to bring me home.
   I didn't bother struggling- it would be useless. Instead, I opted to allow him to carry me to a limo outside.
   When he was done making sure I was buckled he sat in his own seat, buckling himself. The limo immediately started its way out of the school lot and off of the property.
    "Where do you live?"
