I frustratingly sat in the nurse's office. Having been revived again by the nurse's aptitude for handling stupidity. I slammed my fist on the table she kept magazines and various substance abuse propaganda flyers on, breaking it in half. "Frio why did you do that!" She yelled fiercely.
"I shouldn't be here." I said just as angry, "I'm stronger than this." I clenched my fist and almost punched a wall, but the nurse stopped me.
"You don't have to be so strong that you don't need to eat." She said, gently, "Or generally do other stupid things."
"If I can't do everything." I answered, "If i can't be that strong, then I have no reason to live." Water from the pool still streamed down my face, it was warm though. "I have no other talents, no other born traits." I loosened my grip and let my arm fall to my side. "The only person who ever said I did was my sister."
"Is that why you respect her so much?"
I nodded, "I worked for an entire summer so I could fly away from America to live with her when she moved out. My parents didn't even care." I sat down, "When I got to Japan, she was living a hard life, working all day. I got a job, thinking it would help her, but the only ones I could get were labor intensive."
The nurse opened the window shades to let in some light. "Did you work hard too?"
"At first I couldn't handle most of the jobs. I got fired for weakness, or incompetence." I said, "When she found out what I was doing, she was angry."
"Why would she be angry that you were trying to help her?"
"She got angry because I pushed myself to hard without thinking of myself." The nurse handed my a towel and I wiped my face, "She said it was selfish to not think about myself ever."
"Well it is irresponsible, think about how should would feel if you were hurt badly." The nurse went about doing various things, keeping herself busy.
"That is what she said." I replied, "So I promised to become so strong that there would be no way for me to harm myself, and then I could worry about helping other people."
"As noble as that sounds, it is still pretty stupid." The nurse said, "You can never be that strong by yourself, working that hard to achieve that goal is simply idiotic."
Just as I was about to reply, something caught my eye. A small object falling from the sky. It landed with a faintly audible crash. "I'm sorry ma'am but what is in that direction?"
She looked out the window towards where I was pointing. "That would be the graveyard, I wouldn't advise you as a student to be going there. It's very dangerous."
Dangerous? Wasn't there some guy there the other day. I thought, Maybe he knows where Solo went! " Thank you for talking to me ma'am. I need to go, uh, find Elise."
"Go on then, please don't come back here at least until tomorrow. Otherwise I'm going to charge you for each visit." She picked up the magazines and pamphlets. I ran quickly back to the pool.
I looked around frantically for Elise, almost slipping into the water. Luckily I caught myself and found her hiding under some chairs. "Elise we need to go!" I said seriously.
"F-Frio, you're okay." She said faintly, "I thought you drowned." She was shaking pretty heavily, and I couldn't get her to move.
"Elise we have to go to the graveyard, I saw something strange fall from the sky near it."
"The graveyard?" She said lightly, "Is it because you are dead?" She seemed completely out of her mind, "I must have fell in too." She said softly, then fainted.
Oh no, I thought, She is completely delusional. Is she really this afraid of water? I gently picked her up and put her over my shoulder. Should I go alone? Is there a possibility of danger there? I looked around, many other students where at the pool as well. I don't know if anybody will help me though... What do I do! I almost broke another table, but stopped myself before doing it.
Instead I let out a frustrated growl, using my free arm to pull at my hair. I'll just have to ask whoever. I concluded, scanning the area. The first person I recognized was the werewolf from my first day, the one who spoke oddly. I carried Elise over, a task that was fairly easy now, and tapped on his shoulder. "Hey you!" I said, "Do you remember me? From the other day? I need your help in finding the lycan from that day." I said it a little bit to commanding, and added in a weak, "Please" to try and soften the command.
