chapter ten.. sunshine scars.
"Even so my sun one early morn did shine, With all triumphant splendour on my brow; But out, alack, he was but one hour mine"

While Tomi took some kind of pleasure in the knowledge that she was free at night to live like any other human, the happiness often faded to a distant memory. Especially when she walked into the classroom and found that the tall windows beside the tables filtered sunlight right onto her skin. It was embarrassing, to say the least, to ask the teacher to bring down the blinds only to be told that there were no blinds.
She found herself lingering in the back of the class, and even then she could feel her skin faintly burning in the daylight that reflected off of the nearby tiles.
She had taken a chair from the table on her left, and had tucked it in the corner on the right, where the sun was less likely to reach her. She should have paid more attention before leaving this morning, she should have seen the way the clouds rolled by to uncover a sun that shone a bit too much.
It wasn't that bad, really, to some other people, it was still kind of grey out there and the rain was still pouring, but to Tomi's fragile body, it was some sort of invisible torture.
