Love War and Becoming a Teacher

Bring It On

Your POV
It's been about a week since Karma showed up at my house, and I can safely say things are beginning to get back to normal. I went back to college after the weekend, and although I've convinced everyone otherwise, I am not ready. I thought I could handle coming back now since I've talked to my dad and Erina, but now that I'm sitting in my dorm preparing to go to chemistry....I feel like I'm going to be sick.
"YYYYYYNNNNNN!" Screeched Nora as she ran into the room knocking over a pile of books she had left there this morning.
"Yes." I simply looked at her as I grabbed my last book and shoved it into my bag, putting all my energy into preventing my hands from shaking. I never wanted to see Professor Mandoza again, some students would just drop the class and take a different one. However, I did not have this luxury because Professor Mandoza was the only Chemistry professor on this campus, and I needed his class to fulfill my basics. So, despite the the turning in my stomach, the pounding in my head and the feeling that I constantly wanted to brake down crying whenever I thought about going back to that class, I had to go. I didn't have a choice.
"Hey!" Nora shouted braking from my thoughts. "Are you listening?"
"Sorry Nora." I shook my head hoping to push the terror I felt into the back of my mind. "What? Were you saying?"
"I asked if you were okay." Nora grabbed her books off the floor, before turning back to me, her gold eyes starring deeply into my dark ones. "You know with...facing him."
"Of c...course." I managed to squeak out. "W..What makes you th..ink I'm not?" I asked, grabbing my wrist, trying to stay calm.
"YN look down." Nora sighed as she looked down at my hands.
I looked down also, and instantly stopped my right hand from scratching my left wrist, that was now red and raw over the cuts that had been finally starting to heel. I didn't say anything as I tugged my yellow sleeves down and grabbed my coat. "C...Can we please just go." I begged, hugging my bag close to my chest.
Nora bit her lips and studied me before sighing. "Fine." She rolled her eyes and linked her arm through mine. "Just know, I won't be leaving you alone all day, and if Mandoza even looks at you I will brake his legs." Nora huffed. "Because Grumpy wouldn't let me do it the first time." She mumbled and puffed her cheeks as we walked out the door to see the boys.
"Hey!" Karma smiled. "How you are doing this morning?" He asked, concern filling his eyes as he looked at my, most likely pail, face.
Before I could even answer, or try to convince the boyfriend that I would be fine today, Nora interrupted.
"Oh she's nervous." Nora began. "She was doing the whole arm scratching thing, she does when she's scared, because somebody didn't let me brake a certain professors legs." Nora rolled her head left to glare at Asuno.
Gee Nora thanks for making it sound like I'm emotional basket case. I sighed. I guess it was true though, I was a mess. But I was doing better and that's what counts.
"You would had gone to jail Nora." Asuno sighed, clearly exasperated with the orange haired girl. "I thought it best, if we plot his demise in a more civilized matter."
"So?" Nora threw her hands out in a shrug, not understanding...anything. "I've been to jail before, and trust me it's not that bad, especially when you're there because you were protecting a friend! Besides being uncivilized is a great thing!" She flipped her orange hair over her shoulder and grinned.
"No Nora!" Asuno tugged his own orange hair, turning red with ferry. "That's a bad thing Nora! A very bad thing!"
I stopped listening to there argument around there as I slid next to Karma, taking his hand in mine. "You k..know?" I raised my eyebrows as I watched our dorm mates' debate about what was the best way to kill someone. "I think you're right, it's the o..orange hair!" I lightly laughed as I leaned against Karma.
Karma chuckled and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "Yep I so called it." He smiled down at me. "Really though, are you sure about this?" He frowned. He did that a lot when I stammered, Wichita was all the time.
There it was again. That instant drop in my stomach that made be to throw up. The twist of dread that made me want to hide under my blankets and never come out, that said I knew I had to class at some point.
"Ya." I smiled. "How har..d could it b..be?" I asked putting all my focus on my speech. I knew Karma wouldn't stop worrying until I started acting normal.
Karma opened his mouth to answer but we soon approached the classroom. I heard Professor Mandoza let out a laugh at what one of the students said. "Well..." I took a deep breath and smiled. "I'll be o...okay." I said, more to reassure myself than Karma.
Before I could turn to leave Karma grabbed my hand and pulled me into a tight embrace. "I know you will be." He whispered reassuringly in my ear. I stood there and let him hold me, wishing time would stop, but knowing it wouldn't, I pulled away, smiled at Karma, and walked into the lecture hall with my head held high.
"YN WAIT UP!" Nora yelled as she left the argument with Asuno to slide into the seat next to me. I smiled and shook my head at her drama. Turning away from Nora, I did the one thing I have been dreading all morning, I looked to the front and locked my dark eyes onto professor Mandoza's, he looked shocked to see me after all this time. Bring it on. I mouthed. Although, I felt like dying inside. I'm going to be sick! I thought as I forced myself to breath.

Karma's POV
I sat in my math class hardly paying any attention to what Mrs. Yoker was babbling about. Something about logarithms I think, but I didn't really care. All I could think about was YN and how she was probably shaking in her seat, in front of that man. Not relizing the amount of pressure I was putting on my pencil, I quickly heard a 'snap.' However, before I could mutter any mature words and grab a new utensil to write with, I heard my name being called.
I looked up to see Mrs. Yonker staring at me. "Well Mr. Akabane?" She asked in irritation. I looked at the board to see a giant equation that she wanted me to solve. I swear she always try's to find the poor students who weren't paying attention then pouncing on them like a puma.
     "27.4567." I answered once I saw the equation was set to 0. Everything else was simply getting rid of the background noise then raise it by the ten.
    "T...that's correct." Mrs. Yonker nodded before turning back to the board.
     I sighed with relief thanking god that I could do math, but I had no idea how I got that right. I haven't studied in a week, I've been to busy worrying about life, but surprisingly I've done well on homework as well. Maybe it was time to give my brain a break. Of course exams were coming up and now was not the time to relax.

Alright I'm well awake this chapter sucked but I swear the next ones will be better I just needed to get the characters moving forward.
