She didn't know what was going on. Inside Tohru raged this massive black storm of confusion, anger, and other harmful emotions that just devastated her as much as she tried to ignore the feeling and remain calmly seated at her desk. Why was she getting like this, because someone else was with Mira except for her? She has a life! Tohru couldn't seem to shake the thought from her head, Mira being with someone else. It pestered her like an annoying poisonous moth fluttering around her head and biting her every few seconds. [i]Stop it![/i] She scolded herself with a figurative slap on the wrist, attempting as much as she could not to draw attention from the class. [i]What you need to do is just read. Don't even think about what you just heard. You know you're only letting your imagination get the best of you, Tohru. Mira likes you, right? Why would you think-?[/i] And there it was again.

[i]Ugh! F***![/i] That one thought kept reciprocating through Tohru's head, and now she felt like she needed another cigarette just to burn away the ill imaginings. However, that would have to be after class since Tsukuba-sensei didn't look to keen on giving her any more breaks. [i]There's your book. Pick it up and turn the page.[/i] Her eyes averted from the front of the class (mainly the door) and towards the floor where lied Tohru's [i]"Tell-Tale Heart[/i] She bent down and grabbed the book, flipping it to a random page and reading, soaking up as much info as it took from Poe's classic to avoid even thinking of Mira or hearing her voice....along with whoever that other chick was.
