TW: mentions of scars

woke up, immediately wanting to go back to sleep, so I shut my eyes tight. I clung onto my robe for dear life for no reason as I tried to go back to sleep before I found an annoyingly cheerful voice shaking me awake.

"Come on, wake up, Harukawa-chan! Jeez, the rumors really are true. You could go on sleeping forever!" Akamastu giggled as I squeezed my eyes shut and rolled over.

"Come in! Wakey wakey! I have pancakes!~" Akamatsu said with a tempting voice. However, pancakes didn't sound tempting at all...

"That's nice." I yawned. "I'm going back to sleep..."

"Harukawa-chan!" Akamatsu groaned. "Come on, get up! It's already 11:30!"

"Only 11:30..?" I yawned once more as I sat up and stretched.

"Only!? How messed up is your-" Akamatsu suddenly stopped mod sentence.

"What?"

"Harukawa-chan... Why do you have so many scars..?"

"Pardon!?" I quickly looked down at my body, which was mostly covered up. My arms, on the other hand, were being revealed to Akamatsu, and the daylight shining out of the curtain. I quickly pulled down my sleeves.

"You needn't worry about those." I sighed.

"But!"

"No buts, end of that discussion... Do we have any other clothes we could wear?"

"Oh! I did manage to sneak into both our perspective houses and get our clothes! Your security is pretty tough! I thought I would get caught so many times!"

".. Why are you sneaking into my house..?"

"To get your clothes!"

".. Creepy..."

"I wouldn't have got them any other way!"

"True, I guess..."

"I got your uniform and like... All your clothes!"

"Why? It's not like I'll be at your house forever. My parents will get over it eventually."

"Still..."

Akamatsu pouted, I sighed and got up.

"Where's my bag?" I asked.

"Huh? Oh, right here!" Akamatsu cheerfully handed me a bag.

"Thanks." I took the bag from her and headed to the bathroom.

I put on a white collared shirt with a beige cardigan and a black skirt, accompanied by some white socks and leg warmers. I found motel toothbrushes, so I decided to use one, brushing my teeth until I was finished. The toothpaste tasted like shit.

I left the bathroom to go brush my hair, but once I had left the bathroom, I was pulled into a chair, where Akamatsu brushed and put my hair into pigtails.

"Do you like?" Akamatsu asked cheerfully as she handed me a mirror.

"I would've liked it if you asked first." I frowned.

"Ah! Sorry! It seems like I forgot!" Akamatsu panicked before putting a nervous smile on her face.

"It's fine, my hair seems fine." I sighed, getting out of the chair to gather my things, but I was stopped in my tracks to see Akamatsu staring at me.

She had a white collared shirt on with a checkered pink and white cardigan, a lesbian pin, a black skirt, and some leg warmers.

"Oh, we're wearing similar things." I said bluntly. "I thought you were into Shuichi, though?"

"Ah! I just uhm, let's talk about the pin later, 'kay?"

I nodded as I walked back over to my purse, I pulled out my phone to find it was still on a decent percentage, but there were over millions of texts and calls from my family, gossip channels, news outlets, and the general public. Jesus, people were so nosy...
