Depression...

[Hinamori Amaya]

Amaya sat against the tree, her hands were shaky and bandaged up from the recent paper cuts and splinters, she hadn‘t been feeling well and had been skipping classes lately, which wasn’t normal for her, and she hasn’t even been to her dorm since a week ago. Things were going so well and since the day she had received a letter from her dad the first time she’s been here everything went wrong. She had been writing letters to most people she knew from her hometown to help take care of her father, but most wanted nothing to do with him. Nobody ever really did like him.

She hadn’t realized how “down in the dumps”, as one might say, her father was . Worse than he had ever been. Amaya thought about going back home to take care of him, even though it would be the last thing she would want wanted. She was to nice to let her father live off the money she had saved for him, ¥
896,615.23, which he had probably already spent on alcohol.

Amaya wanted to cry but held it in, surely there was someone close by and she didn’t want them to come up to her and ask her what was wrong, it would only make her cry harder. She buried her face into her knees and hugged her legs. She never did finish that picture of Vritra and she hadn’t spoken to Ayumi since he had left, maybe even a little before that. She wasn’t even in the mood to draw anymore, she felt empty.

[Cross Yuuki]

Yuuki was just wondering the grounds, trying to find something to do. She has not joined classes yet sense her illness so she was just making her body strong by walking around in fresh air. "I love autumn" she sighed. She started hunting for her favorite tree to sit under and take a rest for her legs were still weak but when she found it she saw a girl sitting there, shaking... The girl was very pretty but she looked horribly in distress.

Yuuki walked over slowly. She had not met this girl so she didn't want to pry but she couldn't leave her alone. She sat herself down next to the girl. She didn't say a word or touch her but she began to sing an old Japanese lullaby that the headmaster would sing that would comfort her when she was younger.

[Hinamori Amaya]

Amaya was to deep in her thoughts to notice the girl walk over to her, she would’ve usually jumped up when someone snuck up on her but instead, when the girl sang, Amaya lifted her head up slowly and watched her. Her eyes were half lidded, not like she was tired but like she was going to cry but no tears came.

"Hinamori-san?" she heard someone say, she couldn’t recognize the voice but it was most likely someone she knew since they had known her name. It seemed she had forgotten what the voices of her friends and teachers sounded like, even though she knew very few people.

Amaya looked up to see Tobikuma, she tried to smile her usual shy smile but then sneezed and look down, but quickly looked back at him. His attention was on the girl beside her, she hadn’t seen her before but the girl didn’t seem to be new. "It's nice to meet you Cross-san. My name is Tanaka Tobikuma, Class 1-B." he said with a smile before bowing. Amaya remained silent.

Tobi look back at Amaya whom was also looking at him, he took his place by the tree and sat with his legs in front of him, "Hinamori-san was my first friend when I came to the Academy. Quiet and shy, but kind." He began, "When we first met I thought that she didn't like me very much, even the few times after that it was a little awkward. . ." Amaya blushed a little, she had always managed to make an awkward atmosphere when around others, and hearing that she did made it embarrassing but it was alright. It made her feel a little better knowing that Tobikuma had liked her as a friend, for some reason she felt that he didn’t want her around.

She opened her mouth to say something but quickly closed it and smiled at him, like the smile said ‘thank you’. She didn’t want anyone to worry about her, she would try and pretend nothing was wrong at least until she was sure she was leaving the academy.

[Kimura, Ayumi]

Ayumi wandered the campus in search for Amaya. It was strange them being roomates, but yet she couldnt find her. She hadnt been around much, but could you really say the same for Ayumi. She decided to check the gardens next. It was a peaceful place, and was sure to find Amaya there, hopefully. Looking around was getting on her nerves. 'This is ridiculous' She thought getting more and more frustrated with herself, and what she would say when Amaya was 'found'.

Looking over to her right near a cluster of trees, sitting next to a young boy, and what looked to be the headmaster's daughter, was Amaya. 'What am I gonna do now. I cant talk to her about this with people around' Ayumi sighed and was about to walk back to her dorm,..but she couldnt. They hadnt talked in so long, it felt like she would die if she didnt hear her voice.

Ayumi then walked over to Amaya, almost hesitantly, stopping in front of her clasping her hands in front of her waist, trying to be polite and not completely intimidating. "U-uh. Hey Amaya. How have you been" She spoke trying to hold in all the things she wanted to talk about. It felt strange acting this was in front of Amaya. Ayumi didnt know where they stood as friends anymore. If Amaya even wanted to be friends. She smiled at Amaya, hopefully not showing any worried looks, before doing the same for the two strangers sitting around her. "Im Ayumi Kimura"

[Hinamori Amaya]

Amaya looked up when she realized someone was in front of her, "U-uh. Hey Amaya. How have you been". Amaya smiled widely before getting up, almost falling back down. She dusted of her pants before taking one of Ayumi's hands into both of hers. "It's good to see you." She said, a tint of red in her face but barely visible. Her face was paler than usual and her voice was a little raspy. "How are things?" she asked smiling, she avoided Ayumi's question. She didn't want to make her worry.

OOC: Sorry for shortness...
