PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I HAVE ANY GRAMMATICAL ERRORS, THANK YOU!!

---

"A-choo!" I sneezed loudly. Sniffing my nose,I looked at Karma,who is still blushing." Sniff...Sniff...sorry,Karma. What did you say again?" I apologised since I didn't hear clearly. He looked at me surprisingly and disappointingly." It's...it's nothing..." He replied,looking down still blushing a bit. I looked at him with one eyebrow raised up. Anyway,for some reason, the shield that I had casted on everyone in the school during my first battle during assembly didn't lasted for so long. The shield was supposed to protect them for as long as it could!

After resting a while there,I decided to go." Thanks for saving me Karma." I smiled." No,thank YOU." He replied." Rose,can you please don't ignore me again? I don't want you to be in danger."" Okay" I answered,feeling guilty. I left after saying goodbye to Karma.

The next day,it was a very hot day so I decided to buy a cone of vanilla flavoured ice-cream and head to school. When I reached my classroom,all of my good friends were there,including Karma. I looked around.Hmm? Where's Ryuu? I waited for about 30 minutes when
Korota-sensei entered the classroom and announced to the whole class." Listen up students,we will be doing a pair work for today. Ryuu would not be coming to school today as his mother called me today informing me that he had a terrible headache."

Huh?! I stood up immediately" Is he,Is he ok?!" Everyone was surprised at my sudden outburst,especially Korota-sensei and Karma." Yeah,don't worry Rose. He will be okay." Korota-sensei replied. I sat down,still worried. I suddenly remembered about the brain tumour,about making fun of Ryuu for so long and I didn't even know,about him not telling me about it,about him putting on a fake smile everyday when actually his brain is hurting. Drops of water started dripping onto my desk. Is the air conditioner leaking? It was not. It was my tears.

(Karma's view)

Why is she so concern about Ryuu? Oh yeah,she is his girlfriend. A wave of jealousy swept over me. Yes,I like Rose. I know she already has a boyfriend,but their relationship may change and that is when I will step into her life forever. Looking at Rose,I sighed. Wait...something's wrong. Why are there water dripping from her face? Looking closer at her,I gasped. Rose is crying! What should I do?!

(Rose's view)

I hope no one noticed me crying...but I was wrong. A few pairs of eyes started staring at me,even Hayley,Alice and Jenna. Finally,I had enough. I didn't want to explode in the classroom,in front of everyone,in front of Karma..." Korota-sensei,may I go to the washroom? "I asked. He nodded his head.

I sat up and walked out of the classroom. Just after I left the classroom's front door,I heard a male voice asking to go to the washroom like me. Soon,that boy walked out of the classroom and behind me. He was going to talk to me but I was going to explode so I ran away from him and into the toilet. I locked the toilet door and cried out as loud as I could.

Suddenly,there was a knock at the door. "Who...who's there?" I asked softly." Me." Oh no! It's that male voice again! What should I do?! "May I enter the toilet?"

" Are you crazy?! This is a girl's toilet! What's your name? You pervert!"

There was a short pause after that when that boy finally speak up" What do you mean by what's my name? Don't you know already?"

I know that guy? Hmm...come to think of it,that voice IS kind of familiar,and the first person that came into my mind is...KARMA?!" Karma?! Is that you?!" I shouted." Yeah? So may I enter the bathroom?" "Definitely not! That's just weird." I giggled a bit. Wiping my tears away,I unlocked the door and came out to see a worried-looking Karma.

"What's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about?" I asked." Are you okay? You were crying just now..." He asked gently. Shit,He saw me crying." Huh? Oh,err...hahaha,it's,it's nothing!" I laughed unwillingly. He looked at me confusingly. I stopped laughing and stared at the ground, thinking what I should say.

Suddenly, Karma grabbed my hand and pulled me to an empty corridor. "Let me take you to your favourite place." He said,smiling at me." My favourite place? Whe--" But before I could say anything,a big colourful hole appeared in front of the both of us. Karma held my hand and pulled me into the hole. He was blushing though for some reason.

When we entered the hole,all I could see was a big garden,like the one that I made it appeared when Karma and I were doing the tat. It's just that there were more green flowers this time. I walked to a spot and lay on the soft grass,my eyes closed and my face facing the right side." Thanks for bringing me to my favourite place,Karma. I feel so comfortable..."" It's okay. You looked sad and I had always wanted to visit the garden with you again." Karma said. I heard some shuffling of the grass and felt a figure beside me. A perfume breath came closer to my nose and lips. Confused, I opened my eyes. Karma was laying beside me and he was so close to me that our lips were just a few centimetres apart!

When he saw that I had opened my eyes,He backed away and faced the other side,not willing to show me his face. I was surprised. I looked at my watch and gasped." (Breathes deeply) oh no! We have already spent 15 minutes ! Korota-sensei is going to kill us!" I quickly got up and so did Karma." You are right,Rose." He giggled. We went back into the hole.

Walking back to the classroom,I said" Karma, I will be visiting Ryuu later after school. Do you want to come with me?" He looked at me  surprisingly and somehow hurtful." Ok..." that was all he said.

After school,we walked to Ryuu's house. While walking,Karma handed me a pink bracelet with a heart shaped button connected to it." This is a timer to let you see how long your spells will last. Just press the button and there will be a timer on the bracelet.You must be wondering why didn't your spell worked that long right? According to my guardian angel, the time of the spell that we cast depends on the amount of times we get hurt by enemies. Mine is green in colour and is connected to a lightning bolt button." He showed me his bracelet. Ohhh...no wonder... this can let me see the timer by pressing the button? Cool.

When we reached Ryuu's house and rang the doorbell, a woman maybe in her forties came to answer the door. She had long black hair tied in a bun and she had some wrinkles on her face. "May I help you two?" She asked gently.I told her my name but before I was going to tell her Karma's name,she gasped loudly and hugged me," Rose?! You are Ryuu's girlfriend right? I am Ryuu's mother. I had always wanted to meet you! You are so pretty and cute! It's so nice of you to visit Ryuu when he is sick! Come in!"

I was surprised and I was blushing profusely. When we entered the house and into Ryuu's bedroom,He was lying on the bed. There was a girl making tea for him beside his bed. That girl and him looked at us and Ryuu smiled happily. When that girl turned around, I realised she was Katrina?!
