This day just keeps on getting better and better

This whole idea of measuring my compatibility for the sword was jarring. The more time went by, the sicker I felt. And here I thought, the fever was gone. 

It most certainly wasn't. 

And trouble didn't seem to leave me alone either. As I came out of the clubhouse, a girl followed me: a very troublesome girl. I had a bad feeling about this. "What do you want?" My voice came out a bit more hostile than I intended. 

"You were marvelous." The girl's words dripped with admiration and a bit of something else.

I had to turn back and when I did, I saw her expression. There was no one around and maybe that's why she was looking at me like that. Her usual careless smile was nowhere to be found and instead, it was replaced with an awestruck one. 

It was almost as though she was fawning over me.

Was she?

"Th-Thank you. I'm getting late so-" I really wanted to get out of here, there was no doubt in my mind. 

"Do you have a girlfriend?"
