[Giving Up Is Not An Option] Karma Akabane X Reader

Chapter-3

I opened my mouth just to say Yes but no words seemed to come out. I had to face with a dilemma whether to lie or admit. Instead my phone rang after receiving a message.

*beep* *beep* *beep*

"Excuse me." I checked my phone without looking at him. It's from my classmate or bully if I put it exactly. Moreover, it was the first time I felt relieved after getting interrupted by them.

"Ah...I'm sorry, Karma. Looks like my friend needs help and it is emergency. I must go now." I smiled at him and he did the same to me."Okay, [Y/N]-chan. See ya later."

I escaped from him and straight to the bus-stop. Unexpectedly, he agreed to me in a carefree way and that smile; I can say that he could read all of my moves. I knew I must go home. A rest need to be taken. More importantly, I haven't prepared for this turn of events at all.

The store was fairly far away from my house, thus I took a bus. I don't usually ride them since they're crowded but today was a special day. There were only some students, two elders and me. I walked to home after some minutes and I realized that I got there by hearing the dog barks.

"I'm back, Pitchy!" I greeted him while petting his head. His fur was still baby-soft despite he was currently one year old. His entire body is white but there is a pitch-black dot on his tail. Which is why he was named Pitchy, I would guess. Actually Pitchy isn't mine. Mrs.Mary, my neighbor, owns him. She is a nice person that she'd let me play with Pitchy all day. The reason why I couldn't keep him upstairs was because my mom doesn't like animals.

I jumped onto my bed as soon as I got to my room and without switching the lights on. "Man...It was really really exhausting." I muttered to myself. I usually don't go to bed early but I slightly felt better relaxing here. Maybe because I've endured numerous affairs unplottedly today.

"[Y/N], dear?" said mom.

I could feel the popping of light into the room after hearing my mom's voice. I slowly opened my eyes and she started requiring.

"Sleeping early? Are you feeling okay?" She said worriedly.

"I'm fine, mom. Just today was a tiring day." I replied.

"Really? Then, come out soon to have dinner."

"Roger" I smiled at her. At least there's one person, apart myself, who would care about me. There's nothing weird about parents loving their children after all. Children..., children's books... I remembered that I had to clean the mess on my desk. Yeah books. Once I decided to do something, I would put all of my efforts that I might ignore the side effects. I put them in random places after reading the books. I must say I'm quite lazy.

Deciding to clean, I got up. A thick book with a red cover, whuch has pink flowers on it, caught my eyes. Realizing that I often wrap covers on the books I treasure, that might be a special one. As I opened it, Photo Album was written.

"Woah.." I claimed. Yeah, a special book. I've completely forgotten about that. How neglectful I'm and that's why I don't have friends probably. I flipped the first page and saw a group photo. The class where I could stare that certain someone all along. His typical movements and behaviors, I remembered them till today. I felt useless for wanting someone who didn't even notice me. Not physically but mentally. He did helped me twice or once but we were close yet faraway. Till today.

"Wait." I frowned. What about today? He sure did asked me if I had a crush on him or not. Was that delusional? Did he just read me? I probably took hidden snapshots of him that day and I riffled the next page. I saw him. And third page and another page again. Most of them were his pictures and all of them almost had him facing towards me. Was I imagining things? I mean he's a little devil who possibly could know everything around him. He...

"[Y/N]! Dinner is ready. Come down now." Mom's voice cut off my thoughts. I was drowning in my little world. She saved me.

"I'm coming mom!"
