He knew. Did a lot of people know? Miiya didn't know others knew much about it..or bothered to.
She looked down at the floor.
"Um..yeah, I do. But my grades will never improve enough for a promotion, I think." She said.
Tako-san fell off her shoulder and she bent to pick it up.
While doing so, she added brightly:"But thanks to them my sewing skills have improved though!"

Offering Minori another of her rare, calm and warm smiles, she turned back to the others, and perked right back up to her usual, bouncy self.
"She does!" The girl agreed, hopping up and down in hopes to see over the heads of her other classmates, in order to see Miss Ayame. On - oh - her 13th hop, the girl landed a bit awkwardly, and went falling down to the ground.
"Ow..." Rubbing at her hip, she sat on the floor for a few moments, waiting for the throbbing pain to reduce a little.

Toshiro-kun stood in line, eyes half closed, looking politely bored as he fiddled with his ipod. Suddenly, he sneezed. His hand flew to cover his face. Then he sneezed again. And again.
Aw hell, he thought, glancing around as his eyes began to feel watery. Of all the classes...why'd the cat-owner have to be in 1A?! He couldn't identify anyone as the owner as he craned his neck to peer out from his position of last in line. The owner was almost certainly a girl. What boy would own a fluffy white kitten like the one he had seen in the hall? It was far too well-groomed to be a stray.
Before he could make any more observations, however, somone fell backward and nearly crashed into him. "Mitsuko!" Roka exclaimed, addressing the girl by her preferred name. "What do you think you're doing? You're going to be in bandages before classes even start if you're not careful." He pulled her up by her arm without waiting for one of her silly little appologies or sheepish grins.
Turning his head to the side, he sneezed again as discretely as possible. "This is going to be a long year..." Roka sniffed miserably.

Okay, so the girl was obviously uncomfortable with the fact that her family supplied food to the cafeteria. How… odd. Ah well, Miho sighed softly and fiddled with a strand of her hair. She supposed she would have to get used to odd people here. Almost everyone she’d met today had been a bit odd.
At Tarii’s request, she considered, usually one didn’t grant use of their first name to someone that they had just met. On the other hand, she would be with this girl for four years, and not granting use of her first name might seem rude. Oh how she hated figuring out this formality stuff, why couldn’t people just call each other by their name and leave it at that? With all the suffixes it was easy to slip and if you slipped people might look down on you. True, she had chided Roka-kun for his familiar use of her name, but that was what was expected of you here and she intended to follow along as best she could so as not to be noticed… but… “Um… just Miho is okay I suppose. And what should I call you?” (( *pounces Ty* Poor Roka. XDD <33 ))

"Actually," The girl said, grinning at Roka in thanks as he helped her up, "To be more specific, at this rate, I'll be in bandages within the next 2 minutes or so. So thus far today, my enemies have been stairs, a tree, and three times for the floor."
The girl quieted herself, and blinked a few times in surprise as she caught the sound of a sneeze. "Bless you." The girl then tilted her head to the side. "Allergies, Roka-kun?" Mitsuko asked, wrinkling her nose. "You should probably get that checked out then."
Digging into her pocket, she drew out a white hankerchief, offering it towards her classmate, and sort of worried frown crossing her face, her doctor-to-be side kicking in. "What ARE you allegic to?" She asked, glancing around as her hankerchief dangled from her fingers. "I could always ask the chairman of the school if I can stay behind afterschool and sweep up any dust or something..." Though honestly, in a school like this, what was the chance there was even a teeny bit of dust?

Minori's mouth almost dropped open as Mitsuko gave a clumsy fall to the ground, but her face showed no emotion. Except her eyes. Her eyes mirrored fear. Clenching her fists, she averted her eyes, as a guy, who seemed allegic to something (she wondered vaguely what) helped Mitsuko up.
This is why I got sent to ballet. She reminded herself, trying to calm herself down, sucking in deep breaths. A small wave of dizziness overcame her for a minute and she wobbled slightly, clutching on to the nearest person's arm to steady herself.
(Just take it she grabbed someone randomly from 1A. xDDD Maybe Takumi or Kiyoshi.)

{Can it be Kiyoshi? 8D
I love putting my character into awkward moments, and that's considered awkward to him... Well, sort of. <3}
Kiyoshi immediately used a free hand to support Minori's back, holding her up, before using the hand that she had gripped to steady her. Call it normal reflexes, but he just did those actions without thinking. After all, wasn't it normal to help someone who was dizzy?
"Are you alright, Miss Minori? Are you feeling unwell?" He asked, his formal tone tinged with what seemed like concern. He was used to seeing Mitsuko get into little accidents of her own, so although he had been worried for her safety as well as the safety of those around her, he was more concerned about the lady in his arms at the moment.
{For Miiya!}
Ryou laughed softly, although not in an unkind manner, "Well, then I guess that we'll be classmates for quite some time then!" He grinned, happy that he had talked to her. If he didn't, he might feel guilty for the rest of his High School days.
"The next time they tease you..." He said hesitantly, pausing as he took a deep breath, "I'll try to help."

"You would?" Miiya was genuinely surprised.
This was ... she felt a mix of feelings- happy, shocked, worried..
It was the first time anyone said that to her; She didn't have much friends in class.
"Thanks." She managed a smile. There were a huge number of bullies though. In the end it probably still...
She didn't want to think about it.

"That's what I meant," Roka replied rolling his eyes. "Or aren't we going to classes just now? I suspected that's what this whole standing-in-line business was all about. If we're not going to classes soon, I'm going to - ahCHOO!" Again, he turned his head away.
"At any rate, you're going to need to watch yourself, or you're going to be busier tending to your own wounds than to anyone else's." He blinked at her, looking somewhat concerned. "Thank you. Yes, allergies. I just didn't think it was anything to worry about at school. Evidently I was wrong."
Gratefully taking the hankercheif, Roka sneezed into it again. "Cats," he responded grimly. "Never thought anyone would have the nerve to bring one to Ouran, especially on the first day - ahCHOO!!" He closed his eyes and shook his head. "Then again, students in our class don't really heed the rules, do we? But...thank you for your concern. There's nothing you can do, though. Not until whoever's in our class gets rid of that kitten we saw earlier."

"Oh yeah! Well, I'll guess we'll be going soon..." She glanced around, blinking her green eyes before turning back and grinning. "Think this is everyone?" The girl motioned around them. "Sure is a pretty big class, hm? ...Bless you."
Mitsuko laughed at his comment, before smiling grimly. "Well, from the many times I've fallen, I'd say that my body has gotten so used to it that it's stopped reacting to the falling. From the tumble down the stairs today, most would think I'd have at least one bruise but..." She shook her head.
The girl frowned when he sneezed again. "Bless you, again." Then, both of her brows shot up. "Cats?" Why in the world was there a cat in Ouran right now? Before she could ask, Roka basically answered her question. "Someone...in our class?" Mitsuko furrowed her brows, for a moment, before emitting an 'Ah!' and a nod of her head. "I remember seeing a little kitten for a split second, before I kinda turned my attention away."
Way to go, Mitsuko. Some attention span you have there.
Mentally, the girl was fighting to hide her delight at the idea of there being a cute, fluffy little kitten in, not only the school, but her class. She, however, was still concerned on behalf of her classmate. To what she knew, if Roka was extremely allergic to cats, then it'd be dangerous if he got too near to one. From what she could see right now though, his allergies probably weren't that bad, but even so - better to be safe then sorry, right?
"Have you two seen a kitten around?" Mitsuko turned to look at Kiyoshi and Minori, only to notice that Kiyoshi was helping the other girl stay upright. Mitsuko took a quick step forward. "What's wrong, Minori?" Her voice was alarmed.

"Thank you...I sure hope this this is everyone..." the boy replied wearily, glancing around at the long line of Class 1A students. He hadn't noticed too many students from the other classes, but then he had met two earlier that day, so there were probably more than he could see at the moment.
Roka tilted his head curiously. "Not one? Hmm...resistance to injury...perhaps you're destined to be a doctor after all, with your healing qualities." The corners of his mouth seemed to raise for an instant. "I doubt anyone would be able to tell you were the clumsy type with how..." he struggled to find ther right word without seeming too bold. "...how unscathed you seem."
In fact, Roka decided her appearence could be described as no less than perfect. Then again, in an elite school of majesty and elegance, one was expected to be majestic and elegant. So to Roka, this 'perfectness' did not make Mitsuko any different from the other girls. Indeed, all the students, male and female alike seemed to emit that heavenly radience with their carefully dressed hair and custom tailored garments. Everyone was trying to outdo the other without so much as a word or action. The whole situation made Roka sick. Surely commoners didn't have to live this competitive a life, where beauty mattered foremost on the outside? Certainly there wasn't so much expected of them?
"Yes...ther was a white kitten in the corridor earlier, surrounded by students. I'm not sure whose it was, though. You didn't - ahCHOO! - see it?" He was surprised the feline hadn't been as noticed as he had originally thought. It had certainly made an effort to be the center of attention. Then when Mitsuko acknowledged seeing the kitten, Roka sighed with relief. At least he knew he hadn't dreamed the whole thing up. "Yes, well...I think it's still around somewhere...ahCHOO! Not that I mind them all that much, but..." He blew his nose, as if to make a point.
Looking up in surprise, Roka suddenly realized what the girl was doing. Did she really care so much about his allergies as to ask everyone? Perhaps she just wanted to see the kitten...but no. From what he knew of Mitsuko, she was many things - clumsy, distracted, and at times obnoxiously cheerful - but she definately wasn't selfish. He bowed his head, his long, silvery bangs hiding his face as he stared down at the hankercheif she had handed him. And his lips curved into a thin smile. She would make a great doctor someday.

Kiyoshi turned towards Mitsuko, "I believe that Miss Minori is feeling dizzy. Shall we find her a seat?"
It was somewhat like stating the oblivious, but he found no other way to answer her question. Giving a slight pause, he continued, "As for the kitten, I believe that I did see it earlier. However, I thought that it had been taken back to the owner's residence by now. It looked well-groomed enough to be a pet that belonged to someone in the school."
{Miiya's reply...}
Ryou nodded with a serious look on his face, "Yes... I'm sick and tired of how they always bully those around them." Sensing that Miiya was probably still worried about the bullies, he gave her a grin before patting her head, messing her hair up a little.
"No problem! Just don't think about it too much!"

The dizziness was enough to make Minori momentarily be unaware to her surroundings, including Roka's mention of being allergic to cats. She felt someone help her to regain her balance and she blinked for a few moments before she was alright again, just a little pale.
Looking up to see Kiyoshi and hearing his concerned voice, and then Mitsuko's rather worried tone, she managed a smile. "I must have gotten inadequate sleep." She replied, lying through her teeth. What else was she supposed to say? Say she had aglophobia, and get blank looks from everyone around her then explain her situation?
Besides there was another thing to be worried about. It seemed that Mitsuko knew the kitten was around. And so did Kiyoshi. It wasn't her fault actually. Blame the maids who had short attention spans while packing her bag( Jeez, she didn't even ask them to! ) and let Rose sneak into it.

"Yes!" replied Miiya happily.
He seemed like an..elder brother. But she wasn't sure what an 'oniichan' was like, since she was a single child.
She tried to flatten her hair down, but instead, she made it messier.
"haaah..nevermind." she gave up trying to neaten it.
"Oh well. I wonder what kind of food they have in this cafeteria? I hear it's good!" She said. Miiya could get a little random up there in her head sometimes.

"You should at least get a seat," Kiyoshi replied, helping Minori to the nearest chair he could find. It was a good thing their class' line was at the side. This meant that the chairs at the sides of the hall could be easily accessed.
"It would be horrid if you feel faint again, and fall onto the floor." He continued, standing in front of Minori, towering over her figure sitting on the chair. "You could hurt yourself."
{The hurt yourself part was meant to be a concerned thing. xD}
{Miiya's reply!}
"A girl should keep her appearance up!" Ryou laughed, teasing Miiya as he winked, before patting her head again, messing her hair up further. He chuckled, before looking a little surprised at the sudden question. The cafe, huh? He hadn't been there yet...
"Well, it should be good," He smiled, "After all, I think the chef who supplied the recipes is a world-class chef!"
