Cold to Hot

Chapter 2

I opened the door to the classroom. Everyone was surprisingly quiet for once. Karma and I shared a confused look before taking our seats.
"If you want to talk or anything I'm just a few seats back, ok" Karma said patting my shoulder lightly, I nodded slowly.
After a few classes lunch rolled around.
"good luck Okuda!" whispered Nakamura before she walked over to where Karma was sitting. My heart stopped and my eyes began to water.
'Why do I feel like this, I don't like Karma like that... Do I? Karma is just a good friend, right? There is no way I like Karma like that... But maybe I do and I just never realized it?'
A tear dropped hitting my desk. I felt like I was slowly dying. I quickly wiped my eyes and ran out of the classroom. Behind me I could hear Karma calling for me but I didn't turn back I kept going. I kept running for about another twenty minutes, my face was a bright red and my eyes were stinging. Apparently I wounded up at a park.
'better than no where I guess'
I sat down at one of the swings, tears dripping down my face, I shook a little.
'I should have brought my coat, I mean its the middle of November'
Wiping my eyes I decided I should head back to school, besides I left my stuff.
After walking who knows how far, I managed to get back to the classroom with a few minutes to spare.
'Man I'm hungery I didn't get a chance to eat because I stormed off'
We were dismissed so I gathered my things and started to leave. A hand grabbed my shoulder and turned me around, it was Karma. I looked down at the floor.
'There's no way I can face him right now, not after what happened earlier, how am I gonna explain this to him???'
"Nagisa, where did you go earlier? I thought you just straight up left, which would have been surprising coming from you but that's not the point... Its everything alright?"
'I can't look him at his face, why can't I just tell him, shit why am I starting to cry again?'
"Nagisa, please don't cry whatever is upsetting you just tell me, that's why I'm here."
'I can't tell you because I don't want you to hate me, I don't want you to think I'm weird'
I wiped the tears from my eyes again, looking up at Karma. He looked, yet again, worried but this time he looked sad too.
"Come on, let's go home" he said taking my hand.
I blushed a little of course, I couldn't really help it.
'Maybe I did fall in love with you Karma...'
