11 Flu and Fever

I walk side by side with Karma, He puts his arm around my shoulder

We get in the train and there are no empty seats. We stand. I try to reach for a handle on the ceiling but my hand can't grip around it fully. I can touch it, but not wrap my fingers around the handle.(if you're tall, then just imagine the train's ceiling is very high or something and Karma can somehow reach)

Karma sees me and smirks, "Short."

"Shuddup" I snap. He wraps his arm

around me and pulls me closer to hold me steady. I look away, "too close." I say. He loosens his grip.

—————————————————————-

The train stops at our station and we head out. We silently climb up the mountain, Karma breaks the silence, "Another Training Session tommorrow?" He asks. "Sure.." You say. Silence once again.

Karma asks, "What did you talk about with Gakushūu?".

"first name basis?".

"You never called me Akabane-kun when we first met. Now that I realize, you've never added kun to my name.." He says.

"Fair enough." You respond.

"He just asked about you. Nothing much." You tell him, "why?"

"Just wondering.." he said.

The old, chipping building where class E-3 was located, came into view. It was 15 minutes before class began. Only few people were in the classroom already. "Good Morning, (y/n)!" Kayano smiles at you as you walk in. "Good Morning, Kayano." You greet back.

"Good Morning!" Kanzaki waves at you. Why they greeting me all of a sudden? "Good Morning, Kanzaki." I respond. "When did you become Ms. Popular?" Karma smirked.

Nakamura walks in 5 minutes later, she sees you and Karma are in the class, talking. She walks over to Kayano, "Psst, Kayano, Did they come in together?" She asks. "Yes?" Kayano answers. Nakamura grins. Nakamura watches as you two go to your separate desks.

Nakamura strides over to Karma, "So...Karma.. Hows it going with (y/n)?" She smirks. "What?" He asks. "Fun to hang around (y/n)?" She asks. "Why?" Karma questions. "Just making sure my friend picks the right guy, wouldn't want to see her crying or anything." Nakamura replies. "We're not together." Karma looks away. "..Yet.. you two aren't together yet.." Nakamura smirks and goes back to her desk.

Nakamura then proceeds to walk over to you and asks the same question. You internally sigh, "another day of pretending to be someone I'm not.." you think to yourself. I smile, "Never!" I respond. Karma overhears, "It's not good to lie to yourself, (y/n)~" he teases. I roll my eyes, Pft! I've been lying to myself my whole life!

The rest of the class begins to fill the classroom. You stare out the window( like every protagonist does..). It looked so peaceful outside.

Korosensei walks in, everyone takes their seats. The lessons begin.

—————————————————————-

That class ends, it's lunch. Everyone gets up to leave . You get up. Everyone's in the field, eating with their little clique's. You didn't really feel like socializing and smiling is really tiring, so you decided to just sit under a tree away from everyone.

You began to eat your lunch until you see someone in the corner of your eye. "What do you want" you say.

"Nothing. You just looked lonely thought you might want company." Karma says. "I don't, so leave me alone." You say, looking down at your food. He stays, you sigh, "so stubborn." You tell him. He simply smiles.

"No lunch?" You ask him. "Nah, not hungry." He replies. You throw your granola bar at his face, he quickly catches it. "Eat it" You say. "Eh~ What is this?~ since when did (y/n) care for me?~"he teases. "I don't, I just didn't want to eat it" You reply icily.

After a few minutes of silence, Karma speaks, "I noticed that Asano wasn't using his usual fake smile he gives to the girls of our school when talking to you.". "Ok? And?" You ask. "Are you familiar with him?" Karma asks. "I guess." You say.

"Oh?~ How so?~" Karma asks. "Stop nosing around." You say. "Eh? I'm showing you how to fight, at least open up a bit." He responds.

You sigh, he was right. "6th grade, me and Asano would compete a lot. Asano had a small attraction to me, I kinda returned the feelings. Everyone knew. I changed, grades dropped, Asano lost his attraction to me, at least I think he did. I got pissed. Then was put into E Class . Asano and I are...acquainted? I don't know the right word. We're just...distant now, I guess." You tell Karma.

" Oooh~ So you still like him?~" Karma teases. "No, I regret telling you." I say with a flat face, he smirks in response.

End of School Day

You walked back to the train station with Karma. Karma shakes off a few douches trying to flirt with you along the way. "Honestly, I don't understand, am I actually pretty?" You think, well, you thought you said it in your head.

"Sure, you're pretty." Karma responds. "Eh?! Wha-? Huh?- I didn't ask you!" You say. Karma smiles at you, seeing you get all worked up.

The two of you got on the train and it began to move. *cough* *cough* *cough*

You get off your station and wave goodbye to Karma. You see your house coming into view as you open the door, you jump back. No slap? Hm, ok.

You see your grandma in the kitchen, as you pass by, she glares at you. *cough* You go up the stairs. As you near your room, you flop onto your bed. You feel exhausted for some reason, today, not to mention weak.

You begin to feel hot, Damn. You get a thermometer and check your temperature. You have a flu and fever! You snuggle under your bed covers and whip out your phone. You begin to watch YouTube videos and look at anime memes. Your eyelids begin to get heavy and you feel yourself falling asleep...

It's morning now, you were awakened by your grandma pouring cold water over your face. "What do you want?" You snap. "Lazy child, be glad I woke your sleepy ass up! You would've missed school, brat!" She scowled. You ignore and try going back to sleep. "I'm skipping." You say, causing your grandma to rage.

She tries slapping but you catch her wrist. Though you were weak, your grandma was old, so you were able to keep her wrist in place. You shoved her hand away and she stormed out your room madly. You lock your door this time..

—————————————————————

You woke up to multiple beep!'s on your phone. You check it, several of your classmates had texted you asking where you were. This was actually kind of sweet, but why waste time worrying about me? They have other work to do. You replied to all of them with,

"Ahaha, sorry, feeling a bit sick, can one of you take notes for me?"

5 minutes later, only Nagisa replies,

"GREAT, no grfaet I mean, not greaat! Karma iwll come overs to giv afer SchoOl! Get Btter!"

Daffuq? Someone must've been trying to type other stuff with Nagisa's phone or something. Probably Nakamura, did they really have to pick Karma? You go to sleep once again...

You're awakened by the sound of knocks on your door. "(Y/n), wake up, you've got yourself a visitor!" Your grandpa spoke. You tell back at your grandpa, "Just let him in my room!". You hear your grandpa grumble as he walks down the stairs. You unlock your door and flip back on your bed. You didn't really care if Karma saw you like that.

You went under your bed covers. "Hey," a voice called. You recognized the voice, though it wasn't Karma's. You peek over your bed covers, "Asano?". "Ye." Asano replies. You sigh and sit up on your bed, Hair a bit messy.

"Who told you I was sick?" You ask him. "Your grandma." He responds. "Still wants us to get together, huh?" You say. "I guess so." Asano responds. Your grandma walks into your room, all fluttery and all, " " Sweetie, you have another guest!" You mentally rolled your eyes, she's so fake. "Oh, can you please let them in, grandma?" You say, hating yourself with every word.

"Yo." A familiar voice says as he enters your room. It's Karma.

So, um... leaving it there! Hehe
