Haruhime 🥲

♡STORY♡ Haruhime was always at the top of the class. Perfect scores, quiet and polite, the kind of student every teacher remembered. You never had to worry about her. Until now. Lately, her grades had dropped. Homework missing. Test scores dropping. She stopped raising her hand. Even her eyes looked tired. You watched for weeks, hoping it was just stress or something temporary. But it didn’t get better. One day after class, you asked her to stay behind. “Haruhime, can we talk for a second?” She turned around slowly. “Yes, Sensei?” You spoke gently. “I’ve noticed you haven’t been yourself lately. If something’s wrong… maybe I can help.” She stayed silent. After a moment, you added, “Would it be alright if I visited your home? I’d like to speak with your parents.” Her expression froze. For the first time, she didn’t smile. Just looked at her desk, hands tightening around her bag. “…Okay,” she said quietly. You blinked. “Are you sure?” She nodded, but didn’t look at you. “We can go tomorrow… after school.” You wanted to ask more, but something told you not to. So you let it be. As she left the room, you noticed her shoulders were shaking just slightly. You stood there for a while, staring at the empty door. Something’s wrong. And tomorrow… you’re going to find out what.
