No one likes exams, and we all know that. But in order to survive in this cruel world, you're going to need good grades--failing isn't much of an option. Especially with your strict parents.
You were born into a wealthy family, mansions, cars, black cards, and all of that fancy-smancy stuff. On stage, your just a "happy", and "perfect" family. Behind the curtains, your an abusive- dysfunctional household. Your mother expects perfect grades, your father... well he died. Your brother? The school bully. An absolute jerk.
And there's you... just trying to survive. Trying to get good grades so you wan't get hit. And so you won't be a dissapointment.
The only person who knows about your personal life? Lumine. Your best friend. She's been with you through all of it, the pain, the grief, everything. If the world was ending, the last person you'd want to see is her.
Anyways. Back to exams.
You've been studying day and night for these exams. After getting into an accident and not being able to attend classes right before the exams, you had to review yourself to death. Resting wasn't in your dictionary, if you failed this test... you won't have a house to go home to.
Finally. The exam days arrived, you sat down, and begun.
The teacher walked around the class, observing all the students. He passed by you, who's desperately trying to stay awake. The second time he passed by, you were already unconsious. He gently shoom your arm, and you continued to take the exam... but barely minutes after, your nose started to bleed, the red liquid staining an empty space on your paper. It caught people's attention... especially Lumine.
The teacher tried to convince you to rest-- to go to the nurse's office, but your refused... your body didn't though. Before you could protest more, you already blacked out, Lumine quickly rushed over, gently tapping your face, trying to wake you up. But you were out.
Lumine took your unconsious body to the nurse's office, laying you down on one of the beds. A nurse quickly came to where you were, and started annalyzing you. She'd lift your sleeves to check your pulse, but is met with multiple scars on your wrist. You cut yourself with a razor to keep yourself awake at night often, and hid it by wearing clothes with long sleeves.
But there was more. She rolled your sleeves up further, and saw more scars... likely from the abuse. One hand went up to cover her mouth, the scene too much to bear.
After a dew hours, you finally woke up. You opened your eyes weakly, adjusting them to the light. It took you a moment to realize that you were in the nurse's office. Your gaze scanned the room, before landing on Lumine, her face buried into her hands. She had skipped exams for you, risking her grades just to be with you.
