But all I know, is that I have a rival.

"D-do you wanna go out with m-me?"
---

I sat up from bed so I could get a clear look at who it was that had just confessed to Karma. I couldn't get a clear enough view of who it was, but the voice was easy to tell. I couldn't hear what else was going on, but I got kind of angry knowing that someone else likes Karma. The thought of that made me feel uneasy, like someone could take karma from me at any second, and I could nolonger have someone there for me.

"Okuda-San, there was no point in telling me, I knew this whole time."

"Oh..."

I could hear his smirk from feet away. Im pretty sure Karma had nothing else to say to that confession, which made me feel re- wait why am I admitting to liking that sadtistc tomato?!? I layed back down in the infirmary bed, thinking about this so called "crush" and how I got myself into liking someone like him.

"Y-you don't have to give me an answer right now, I-I can wait"

I heard footsteps, they walked away. I let out a sigh of relief, if I weren't to be here, I wouldn't have experienced that. Yet again, I feel nosy for having heard that. Then out of nowhere I heard footsteps, I hid under the covers and pretended to be asleep. I felt a paper fall onto me, allowing me to peak my head up from the covers, pretending to just now wake up, I think I pulled it off pretty well.

"There's the homework assignments from today, school's over so lets go"
(As soon as I typed that the radio said "Toyota, lets go places" lmao)

"Oh ok"

I got up out of the bed, and started walking alongside karma. I looked at him as we walked, in wonder about what he thinks about the confession he got today. As I walked with my crutches, I tried to see if I could walk without them, they were getting annoying and hard to manage. And I was able to walk fine. While holding the crutches in my hand, karma must have noticed and stopped walking. I stopped walking in surprise and accidentally bumbed into karma.

"Ne~ has the innocent (F/N) been faking her sprained ankle this whole time?"

"W-what?? No. I would never do that!"

"Then how are you walking without your crutches?"

"A sprained ankle isnt that bad! And besides... I still have my boot on, right?"

"A person could fake a sprained ankle even with a boot! And besides... You were there when the nurse talked to me about this sprained ankle, so don't act so clueless"

I pouted. That actually got him to stop talking and we continued to walk. And that pout eventually turned into a grin, because I thought about how I got the infamous karma akabane, to stop talking. I rolled my eyes on a non annoying way and continued to grin as Karma and I finally reached the door steps of our house. Even saying our house when talking about karma makes me feel warm inside.

"Take off your boot"

I looked at him like a confused dog. He rolled his eyes in response and took off my boot for me, as well as unwrapping the adhesive. I looked at him with somewhat admiring eyes, followed by a low voiced squeal. I wondered if I should have asked him about his reply to okudas confession...

"Hey... Karma?"

He looked up at me like he was telling me to say what I needed to say, without saying a word.

"Before I say this... Don't get mad at me... I wasn't eavesdropping or anything... But what are you going to say to okuda?"

Then karma pressed his thumb on my ankle. I winced in pain as a reaction.

"Ne~ why do you care all of a sudden?"

"I don't care! I'm just wond-"

"Oh yeah"

He stood up.

"I know why you care."

"Y-you do?"

"Yeah, because you like me"

"W-WHAT! Nonono. Wh-where d-d-did you get that n-nonsense from."

"You told me"

"What? No I didn't?"

"MYDIARYINTHEREWHICHKINDASTATESTHATITHINKYOURECUTEPROVINGTHATIMAYHAVEASLIGHTCRUSHONYOUWHICHIDONTWANTYOUTOKNOW"

I immediately stopped talking. He was right... I do like him. THAT LITTLE BASTARD QUOTED ME.

"Not all crushes last long..."

Karma bent down on one knee , looked at me , and leaned in , his face only inches away from mine. My face flushed a bright red color. I flinched my eyes closed. After only seconds, I heard a chuckle coming from karma. I opened my eyes to look at him standing away from me , laughing at his own hurtful joke.

"If you didnt like me you would have pushed me away... Right?"

I pouted.

"Your ankle is still hurt, so don't try to walk without the boot."

He walked away. Leaving me in front of the door , embarassed yet angry. I got up and walked to "my" room with my boot still on. I sat at the desk and took out my homework. I put my earphones in and began my homework. Hours later I finally finished. I looked at the time that said 8:32. I unplugged my earphones and noticed something weird about the room... I then felt something weird about my bed. I hopped up and down on it feeling it with my hands. Then I came to the realization... My mattress has nothing on it. No teddy bears... No pillows... No spread sheets... No cover up sheet... No cover... Just a plain old mattress...
I sat on my bed... Trying to figure out where it could have gone. Then I thought it obviously could have been karma , considering he and I are the only ones in this house. I sighed and layed down on the plain hard mattress. I'm too tired to fight over this prank. I fell asleep eventually, but uncomfortably.

The next morning I woke up pretty early , early enough for me to run to E-class and back twice. I got out of bed--without my boot-- and opened the door to my room. I looked around the living room, and didnt see karma. Although I saw the door open , I thought it was karma at first... But it was someone else... Karma came downstairs with a carton of strawberry milk in his hands.

"Karma!"

Karma looked surprised. Like he knew the person.

"...dad...?"

Cliff hanger? I know. Good cliffhanger? Yes. If I say so myself... At this point, how do you think karmas parents would react to (F/C)?
