'Sup guys! I am back again! So after writing this chapter, I just don't know how to continue it, so I will give you guys a character information of Aira, and also a very very poorly edit of how I think Aira looks like at the start of the first book. :P

=======================================

Aira's POV

It has been almost two days since I had seen the principal, who is at the same time Karma's uncle. Their face shape looks quite similar, but why does a feeling of familarity rises up when I see his smile?

Maybe it is just because of the slight similarity of it and Karma's smirk.

Oh, well.

"Aira-chan, you do know it is Friday, right?" Karma asks, playing with a pocket knife as we walk to school together. After he threw Yui out of the office, she just started to spread rumors around saying that I was controlling Karma with some weird sort of magic, which don't exist.

But apparently, because of all the love letters I have received, they believed her, and so Karma just stays near me the whole time, and explained, She wants you to be ruined just like how you predicted, so why not just make her jealous and do some more crazy stuff?

Guess he never changes.

"I know. But your uncle won't mind if I accidentally expelled her, right?" I smile, and he smirks, "Sure. He is getting bored of not being able to watch a good show anyway. By the way, when can I hear you confess to me? Just so you know..." He leans down, brushing his lips onto my ear.

"I am a boy, so it is hard to control myself whenever I see you."

Blushing, I push him away. "D-Don't you dare do anything like that!" I stammer, but his smirk just grows bigger. "Heh? But it is a fact."

"Then don't stay with me every night!"

"But I love you."

"Then–wait, what?" I ask, astonished.

The mischief in his eyes has been replaced with a seriousness that I feel familiar with, and he lifts up his hand, gently touching my cheek. "I love you, Aira. I really do." He whispers.

"But..."

"I know. I know you aren't ready for anything like this, and even though I don't have too much patience, I can still wait a little longer for you."

My hearts starts beating faster, and I pulls his head down, putting my forehead to his. "Why?" I ask shortly, looking into his mercury eyes that are filled with sincere and love.

"Because, to me, you are worth everything."

Smiling, I suddenly feel a bit braver and give him a quick peck on his cheek before turning around, exclaiming, "Let's go. I don't want to be late."

Karma's POV

My eyes widened when I feel the sudden warmth on my cheek, which left as quickly as it came. Touching the place she kissed, I can't hear the words she said as my mind tried to comprehend what just happened.

"You kissed me?" I mumbled in surprise, looking at her. Aira looks over, a faint blush on her cheeks as she explains with a slight stammer, "T-Think of it as thanks for your confession and patience."

Happiness immediately explodes inside of me, and I can feel my mouth curving up into a huge grin. Walking quicker, I swing my arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer and kisses her forehead.

"So this is how it feels to be a couple." I smirk, and she frowns, flicking my forehead. "Karma-kun, we are not a couple."

"Yet. I will make you confess to me, Aira-chan. No matter how long it takes."
