This soft scolding about how sad she was that I would go behind her back instead of asking permission was really getting to me. If I wasn't so trying to act really mature and grown up right now I'm sure I would probably be tearing up and sniffling. Fortunately for me, my sister took my side and my brother joined in after a few moments. With their combined help I was able to talk my mom out of punishing me outright and instead got asked a question that I really didn't want to answer. Was I keeping anything else from them? Oh wow, I really don't want to answer that. Looking into my mom's eyes I knew that I had no choice. They would find out sooner or later and right now seemed to be the best time to come clean.

This stabs me particularely hard, especially because I know how this feels, getting one of those scoldings not too long ago. It was my fault, I know that, but that only makes it worse. You can't do anything except look at the floor feeling absolutely misserable, wishing for a time-machine so you could just turn back and do it over again.
Anyway, on a more happy note, I decided to get started on the Nanoha Dating Sim I promised a while back. Exam Projects are finished (one of the few who passed, woo!) so I think I can get this started.
The title, cornily, is Raising Heart. Yet, it fits somehow, no?
Spoiler for Raising Heart:
Raising Heart
I am nervous. Very nervous. Recently my parents had decided to move away for work, but I, stubborn girl that I am, demanded to stay until I finished high school at least. Of course, there is always a snake lurking in the grass. The school that I went to did not have a boarding system, which meant that a transfer was soon in sight, which meant that I was now standing in front of a new class, filled with faces I had never seen before.
That tends to make people nervous.
“My name is Takamachi Nanoha, starting today I will be attending classes in this school. Please take good care of me.”
As I bowed, a small round of customary applause filled the classroom. Whispers I could not clearly make out made me shift uncomfortably.
“Very good Takamachi-san, now since you are new here I'll let you decide where you would like to be seated.” Lowran-sensei told me.
My new teacher, Lowran Leti, though I suppose that would be Leti Lowran in her own country. A foreign teacher, she teaches English and is also our class supervisor.
Back to the task at hand, I scanned the classroom for empty seats, as I looked my eyes noticed a familiar red eyes blonde: Fate Testarossa, my childhood friend and only familiar face in the classroom. As our eyes met, she made a small apologetic gesture, I sighed as I noticed no empty seats close to her. She sat to the left of the class, from my point of view, close to the wall and up front. It would have been great to sit next to someone I knew, not to mention I still had to pry that news about her new boyfriend out of her.
Continuing to look for empty seats, I noticed three. One was also up front, but more in the center-right row, next to a blonde haired boy with glasses. His eyes seemed to flicker between the book on his desk and me, as if he wanted to continue reading. As our eyes met he offered a small smile and a nod.
The second empty seat was almost in the middle of the classroom, just a bit more to the left. In the middle itself sat a brown haired girl, as our eyes met she gave a cheery smile and a wave. I did notice a pair of crutches next to her… I wonder if she hurt her leg? She looks fine…
The last empty seat was way in the back to the right, almost next to the window. Next to the window itself sat a dark haired boy. He almost seemed… military from here. As our eyes met, a small respectful nod was send my way.
Now… where to sit?
A: The boy with the glasses
B: The brown haired girl
C: The dark haired boy.
