"WHAT ABOUT ME?" || Karma Akabane x Female Reader •Fan Fiction•

◖C H 16◗

That bunch of highschoolers have no sense of eating, do they? Now I'm the one cleaning their disgusting mess.
I did not have any particular talent that could contribute to our school festiva's food stall so I ended up cleaning the tables. I could have done a good job at bringing in more customers but Karma just had to suggest this job for me to everyone.
"You missed that spot." Karma was carrying some dishes to the customer and of course he wouldn't miss a chance to bother me even when passing by.

Just mind your own thing- or don't. Don't forget to notice me every time you pass by- god,... stop with these thoughts Y/N! Don't get distracted by a crush. The exams will be here soon enough.

"Are you ready to take the top spot, Karma?" Koro sensei was giving us some lectures before the exams.

"Gee, I don't understand hard stuff." He smirked.
"He clearly isn't as prepared as me." I could not have not said it.
.
"The principal could have been the prime minister or something but he has just devoted himself to education." Fuwa said.
"Koro sensei and Principal Asano do seem similar in that context." I said as our group walked down to the school's exit.
Wait, was that Gakushu standing in front of us. For some reason, I closed the distance to Karma but gladly he didn't notice.
"I hate to say this,... but I have a request. I'll cut to the chase... I want you to kill that monster."
His father?
Gakushu went on, "Not physically ofcourse, but his education policies."
One of us said, "His education system? But how?"
He finally looked up at us all. "Easy, I want you, the E-class, to dominate the top spots in the next end-of-term exams. I'll be first, of course but excellent grades mean nothing coming from an excellent student. If detritus like you guys show the A class you're better, that's how we destroy his education system."
He seemed too confident about his first rank. I wanted to crush that confidence.
"Right now, A-class is hell. He's making them study beyond their limits with their hatred for the E–class."
He was asking for help. For someone who always acts superior to others, it was unexpected to everyone, even me.

I'm kind of proud of him.
"Sometimes, defeat can... open someone's eyes. So please, show my friends and father a proper defeat." He did bow his head.
He wasn't hiding his arrogance because he was speaking from his heart, in front of everyone. The ones who were not me, realized he could care about others.
"You're not taking first place, I am." Karma stuck out his tongue.
I was going to say it but- sigh.

"I told you the next time E-class won't go easy on you. I'll be number one, with the rest of the E-class right below me. I'd say, the tenth position will look good on you, Asano."
Isogai says, "We've been trying to win all along and that's how it will be this time too. It has always been like this for us and the A class."
"Don't think too much," all eyes on Karma again, "Just come at us like you want to kill us. That makes it fun."
Gakushu was grinning again, "How amusing. Then I'll fight with my gloves off too this time."
I wasn't letting them be delusional. "Earth to, boys. Everyone knows I'm coming first this time."
"You're the one who's daydreaming." Karma patted my head as if telling a child to calm down.
"You'll regret saying that, Karma." I shoved his hand aside.
"L/N, you can have second place since I'm said to always have the first." Gakushu said to me.
.

Karma and I were going home and once again sat next to each other on the subway.

I leaned my back against the seat. "By the way... You do well in your exams and I won't hesitate to say you have a good physique. I just sometimes wonder what kind of future you want. Like... what sort of field of work will you join?"
"So you think about my future, means you do see me as a part of your own future." We weren't looking at each other but I knew he had that teasing smirk on his face.
Goodness, should I not have said that? "I was just wondering. Don't imply such nonsense. No need to tell me if you don't want to."
He chuckled. "Chill down. Well, I have a plan to become a bureaucrat, you know." He grinned with his chin in his hand, "An evil one at that."
Why was I thinking he would become an engineer or entrepreneur? "An evil government official. Haha... It's not that unexpected if it's evil."
"And you? Any plans?"
"I will be an economist for sure."
"An economist and a bureaucrat. If we are somehow acquainted in the future, I'll hire you to help me out with my evil plans."
"I'd rather be unemployed than be hired by you."
I liked the idea. But we will probably lose touch by then, right. I pray we don't.

I would have gotten into a good school even if I wasn't first. But standing at the top of the whole school gave me total pleasure.
"If we both are in first position, why is your name written above mine? They don't know how to do it, do they?"
"Even though we're both first, I feel superior to you right now." I grinned.
The both of us were checking out the ranking chart at the main campus. We had seen it before in our own class too but this was different.
