I wish I could say being part of the host club was my whole world, but in a whole world, there's darkness and there's light. No matter how brightly that light shines, we all still have to return to the darkness at the stage, or it just wouldn't feel...
"You're going to school, whether you're sick or not! We paid good money for that education!" So not everything went to plan, I really was sick with a cold and being murdered with an unusually solid pillow "You little ungrateful wretch! Get out the door before I give you more than a black eye!"
I ran out the door as fast as I could while trying to close my school bag, I knew I'd see my mom again today outside of the house. Today was physical examination day so I had to wear a bra instead of a binder which I was deeply uncomfortable with but I'd rather not have to come in a second time.
It never was a pleasant experience but it could always be worse, I could get some random handsy Doctor who just stared at me and ordered me to do pervy things, but these were professionals, right? Kyoya had reassured me briefly yesterday after I stared into space again
"If you're sick, why'd you come today?" I'd bumped into Mori-senpai on the way into the building who noticed my constant high pitch sneezes "I just felt like it?" By the look on his face, he wasn't buying it at all but Honey-senpai was the complete opposite. He was lapping up my lies like they were frosting but I suppose as far as he was aware - I had no reason to lie to him
Several sneezes later, we were lined up outside the examination hall in anxiety of what awaited us on the other side of the doors while the girls attempted to find out my crush "so who do you like?! You're in the host club right?!" I bit my lip ignoring my splitting headache "Would it be wrong to say I don't believe in love?" They let out a small chorus of gasps
"Then why are you in the host club?" I motioned around the group "because they're my friends, guys need emotional support too y'know? They're still human"

When I glanced at Haruhi reassuringly, the twins were doing their usual dramatic stuff to show off causing a small section of the crowd to squeal loud enough for my hands to cover my ears. It wasn't that I doubted the two boys would be supportive, it's more that I didn't want to appear weak in front of them...my pride was all I had left!
"Ms Watanabe? The nurses are ready for you" I glanced up at Mori-senpai who patted me on the back gently even though the bruises still ached "don't wait for me" I could tell he knew I knew something no one else did, but it was my body after all! I didn't miss the glance he shared with the rest of the host club
The second I finished undressing, the nurse pulled back the curtain and her hand flew to her mouth "O-oh my!" I hugged myself "it's nothing" my eyes followed her as she studied just how badly I was hurt "Do your parents know?" I bit my tongue lying "No" she studied my arm and took my chest measurements "we're going to have contact the-""please don't. It really doesn't hurt all that bad"
I quickly realised how I must've sounded and what that told the nurse about my situation "It was just a bad fall" her eyes told me she didn't believe me "Is it someone you can't talk about?" I remained silent knowing I wasn't obliged to say anything
