Chapter 3: The Poor Dr Pepper

Y/N went through her usual routine the next morning. When she left, Asano was waiting at the corner of her street.

"Sup with you?" Y/N asked the orange.

"I wanted to request something of you."

"So now you're into mooching?"

"No, I wanted to ask if you could stay away from that Karma guy. I mean, he's bad news. He got sent to the E-class for getting into a physical fight with other students. So please, do me a favor and don't go near him if you see him."

"What business do I have with him anyway? I mean I don't even know where the E-class is."

"Well anyway just don't. Let's go already."

'Jesus hell man, you don't have to be like that, you were the one who asked me the question'- Y/N thought.

The boys continued on their journey to Kunugigaoka again, very quietly. Once the two guys got to their school, another one of Y/N's amazing friends, Yukihira Higashi jump scared them from behind.

"Boo~!" he cooed.

"..."

"..."

"Wow you two sure are makin' the air tense... How 'bout this, Y/N wanna go on a date with me? I'll make it manly~" Higashi proposed.

"Wait wha-" Y/N was profusely confused. 

"How 'bout this? No. Stay away from him. He's mine." Asano said mockingly at the beginning but slowly got more intimidating as he continued his line of sentences.

"'Kay then does that mean you'll hang out with us then? I mean, you do know that I was just pullin' yer leg right Assano?~" Higashi asked rhetorically.

"Uhh shouldn't I be involved in this conversation? First of all- actually nevermind, you guys carry on, the bell's about to ring and I've gotta get to homeroom. See ya~" Y/N said checking his watch and waving with a *cough*cute*cough* wink.

"Well wait for me! We're in the same class!" Asano called out, and waved goodbye to Yukihira. Higashi was frozen in his place, confused. When Y/N had motioned such a *cough*fucking adorable*cough* wave, he felt as if his heart was throbbing so fast, hard and loudly that anyone could've heard it. He was legit having a mental breakdown on the inside, but he sadly had no clue why.

Meanwhile, (in our universe) Y/N and Asano had arrived to their class right on time and were happy with their circumstances. 

"Stand,"

"Bow,"

"Greet."

"Onto our review topics from yesterday, who can tell me what the Multiplication Property of Equality allows us to do?" while his teacher was spouting just about the easiest math questions imaginable, Y/N was spacing out looking through the window beside him. However, much to his dismay, his teacher had called on him in the middle of his silent thoughts.

"Otosaka..."

"..." 

"Otosaka!"

"..."

"OTOSAKA!"

"Yeah what?" Y/N finally answered with his eyes still blinking rapidly. 

"I asked you a question. Read the board and explain your answer." the older man stuck his thumb back to the chalkboard behind him while giving the younger boy a kidding smirk. Y/N read the equation and thought to himself 'What the actual fuck?! How did a review lecture about the Multiplication Property of Equality lead to the problem P vs. NP?!'
