Nagisa felt troubled as he didn't know what to say to Karma but he supposed that you would've loved it if he had protected and improved your reputation.

"(Y/N).. Well maybe I should save the good stuff for her to tell but she was nuts. Like how this time when..."

"Wait what? You're telling me that (Y/N) spread rumours about that guy I beat up? That's why she was being surrounded?"

By now, the two school students were up and had passed by their lockers to grab their bags to leave the school grounds. The sun was falling lower towards the horizon and both of them had homework to complete though they know that only one of them would complete it.

Karma remembered that as the day he began to despise teachers when Kensaku-sensei got him suspended for beating a boy when he and his friends were surrounding a girl. Karma wasn't all that interested in protecting the girl at first because his first thought was about the thrill of beating someone down in front of him. The quick glance Karma got of the girls face only made him more excited when she was smiling.

"Yeah, (Y/N) loves causing trouble for other people, especially people she isn't fond of. She's manipulative and lies quite.. a bit.." Nagisa slowed down when he realised how bad that actually sounded, he cringed and turned to try and correct himself but the smile that karma wore on his face made him silent when he kept walking without knowing that Nagisa had stopped.

It shocked Nagisa because that smile he saw wasn't a sadistic- looking one that belittled someone. Rather, that smile was genuine and the type that could make girls fall for the teen devil. After all, Nagisa had heard girls in their class speaking about how Karma could be really attractive if only he had the opposite personality.

"Nagisa? What's up?"

Nagisa glanced back to Karma to see him looking back at him with a questioning side glance but Nagisa only smiled slightly and caught up, "So what happened, why did (Y/N) do that?"

"Oh.. Actually I heard that (Y/N) didn't have a reason, she was just bored I guess.. She was... flirting with a couple of the guys for fun and they all found out because they're all friends. They got mad because they thought she was serious about them."

"Wow~ She sounds dangerously charming.. I can't wait to meet her."

"Really?"

Karma hadn't realised what he said and stuffed his hands in his pockets as he kept his head forward. The setting sun not allowing Nagisa to see if Karma's cheeks were glowing pink or if that was just the sunlight, "Well yeah, I think it will be fun. I want to hear more about her- I want see her actually."

"Uh, yeah- Maybe soon when I go? Is that alright?"

Karma smiled again making Nagisa's eyes widen when they were facing each other. Nagisa didn't expect to see Karma wearing such a genuinely pleased expression. He was either lazy or full of mischief but the red-haired boy only nodded with a hum.

"Sure thing, see you later Nagisa."

Koro had long left room 38 on floor 6 of the local hospital after hearing the sound of the door opening when he took a quick glance at the nurse entering. He had left to go to Greece that afternoon as his students were all home.

There wasn't anything else Koro could do and there wasn't a way he could improve your conditions to help you wake up faster. He was annoyed but he had to focus on his students now and not on the accident that replayed in his mind every time he went to his classroom.

"(Y/N)-san? Are you alright, are you not going home now?" The teenager jumped at the sound of her teachers voice and heard another pair of feet approaching. She didn't like it but this will have to do because she had been planning this for so long.

"Yes.. Everything is perfect Koro-sensei."

The sound of her peaceful voice was calming and Nagisa didn't know whether to make himself known from behind Koro when he waited to go home with (Y/N). The scenery from on the cliff was really refreshing. It made the breaths entering (Y/N)'s lungs feel more fresh and cool and Koro waited for her to make a move but the step she had taken towards the edge of the cliff made him take a step forward in caution, "(Y/N)-san, please be careful there."

"Yes Koro-sensei."

Again, her voice was so peaceful and obedient. It wasn't like (Y/N) at all and this time Nagisa held his breath when another step towards the edge was made. As if (Y/N) could sense Koro getting closer, she had opened her mouth to speak quietly, under her breath so it travelled with the wind that blew her hair back in the direction where Koro was standing, "Don't touch me with those things."

He stopped and Nagisa was puzzled as he didn't hear anything that was said, not able to question it before he heard, "Tell everyone I said thanks Nagisa."

And then you fell.

The next day, Karma had been walking slowly off of the train to make his way to his school classroom up the mountain when he met with Nakamura on the way, exchanging to hushed 'good mornings' they walked by each other without having the energy to speak until someone intercepted them, "Oi, you guys are from the end class, right?"

Karma's eyes narrowed as he looked this boy up and down. His lengthy hair was swept over the right side of his forehead, messily spiked with wax as it was dyed blond while his dark regrowth was visible. He had dark eyes that were squinted in question as if he was remembering the people before him.

He wore a smirk though his brows were raised, his cheeks bones pronounced along with his jaw line. Karma could see that he was most likely a playboy who used his looks to gets girls attention and it probably worked too. His uniform wasn't buttoned correctly and his pants were hanging low too with some worn out shoes. His appearance exclaimed 'rebel' and Karma could feel his fists clenching with excitement, "What's your point, huh?"

Karma was about to approach the student and get in his face before Nakamura sighed aloud and grabbed Karma by the upper arm to bring him back next to her, she rolled her eyes and glared at the boy before her, "What do you want Hagiwara?"

"You're Na-.. Nakamura right?"

Ready to walk away from the boy before her, Nakamura ignored his question while Karma was silently and curiously watching the interaction as the blonde answered with a hard voice, "I said, what do you want?"

"I haven't seen (Y/N) around, mind tellin' me? Or actually, tell her I'm lookin' for 'er."

He grinned sheepishly and turned to enter the school gates when Karma couldn't get is eyes off of him, "Who wa-"

He turned and saw the spot beside him absent of a blonde girl and looked towards the mountain to see Nakamura waiting for him, "School's starting in a bit, come on."

"Hey, who was that- what did he want with (Y/N)? He doesn't know she isn't here?"

Nakamura looked at him for a little while, wondering why he sounded so familiar with her best friend but she didn't stop walking as Karma followed a little behind, "That's Seiji Hagiwara.. He's an ass- and no he doesn't know, only people in our class and her family know. It doesn't matter."

"It does to me."

She almost stopped walking, wondering what was going on but Nakamura sighed and stayed silent for a bit as Karma stared at her with a determined look, "He's just a douche.. that (Y/N) used to mess around with. I hated it but she didn't really care- she isn't serious about that stuff anyway."

"... That stuff?"

Without realising, Karma's hands were clenched in his pockets again, tighter than before when his teeth were grinding against each other. He didn't even know what this girl that his class liked so much looked like so why was he reacting like this.

Nakamura hated to think about it and hoped she wouldn't have to but this boy was persistent, "Stuff like dating and boys- she values her close friends and making them feel worthy but she doesn't care about herself so she does stupid things. I've told her how I don't like it but she says it's fun and it isn't serious. She was bored and saw Hagiwara as an idiot who could play her games and fall for her."
