Flowing Promises (Under Revision)

Chapter 3

Confronting Kayano

---

Nagisa's POV

It seems that it's almost late. I gotta get home now.

I pulled away from Korosensei and thanked him for everything, and told him I'll hold onto the promise as best as I can.

Kayano might be a handful sometimes, but to me, she's more like the missing piece that would help me achieve my dream, or something like that. I knew that we were somehow alike. I didn't know it before, but now I do.

"Have a safe trip home, Nagisa!" Korosensei shouted as I ran back towards the building.

"Thanks Korosensei!" I shouted back while waving my hand.

I made it out of the classroom grounds just as the sky darkened and glanced back the building for the last time. But the view stopped me from walking downhill.

Surprisingly, I saw the classroom's ceiling lights on, and Kayano's bag was still there.

Is it just me or did she forgot her bag.

Wait...

I look a little more closer.

That light wasn't on earlier. Is Korosensei there? Or maybe...

I glance a little to the left and saw Korosensei by the window in the staff room. It seems he's doing something.

I know that it's already time to go home. But a word from Korosensei prevented me to. The promise. If Kayano's still around, and in this hour late, there's no telling what could happen to her when she walks home, alone.

I gathered my courage and walked back towards the building. I went inside, and made my way towards the staff room.

By the time I was getting nearer, I could hear voices inside. Is Korosensei talking to somebody?

*knock knock♪*

"Korosensei?" I knocked at the door twice and called out to Korosensei.

"Is that you, Nagisa?" I heard him respond.

"Yes, sorry to bother you, but by any chance, have you seen Kayano somewhere sir?" I asked him.

Korosensei didn't respond for a while. I called his name again in attempt to bring him back to his senses, but there was still no response.

Then suddenly, I heard a stool being dragged on the wooden floor and footsteps coming closer to the door. I was expecting Korosensei opening the door knob, but instead...

"Hey Nagisa." After the door opened, revealed a green-haired girl smiling at me. It...It was Kayano!

"Kayano!?" I got startled a little bit, forcing me to take a few steps backwards.

"Yeah, it's me silly! Were you expecting someone else?" She said in a cheerful voice.

"Oh, uh yeah, I was expecting Korosensei opening the door." I managed to calm down and sighed.
