Chapter 5 Jealousy and Milkshakes

First of all, sorry for being so late with this chapter. I was stuck and I still need to clear a few things before the next chapter comes up. Although I hope that the characters are not very OOC.

Thank you for your encouraging reviews and comments. They really motivate me.

Now, let's move to the chapter.

Chapter -5

Jealousy and milkshakes

Isogai stared at the cell phone in his hands. His fingers hovered over the screen to type something important in the chat of the LINE group that was specifically prepared for the assassination classroom.

His new school was fine and he was grateful that he had company of Megu and Takebayashi unlike several others of his classmates who were struggling alone. Yes, he was much closer to Megu than compared to Takebayashi but he wouldn't deny that the company of the lean tall friend was cherished by him. But at the moment, Megu and Takebayashi weren't enough.

He wanted to see them.

He wanted to see all of them.

Yes, it was too soon for a normal class to hold a reunion. In fact, it wasn't even a complete year yet but this class was far from normal. They've went through much hell compared to an ordinary class and he wanted to meet them again, know them again, to witness the new changes in them, to be aware of about a part of their lives in which he wasn't involved anymore.

With courage in his heart and hope in his conscience he begins to type out a message.

A smile stretches upon his lips when the normally vacant chats boom with life in response.

…

Karma trudges along the road that lead to Oku-Tokyo. His arms were inside his pockets and a bored expression on his face. Today was not a 'Thursday' and he knows that Manami would be busy but now he is here, only on a whim to see her and surprise her and maybe, he was even anxious regarding that 'bitch' as much as he hated to admit.

As soon as he reaches the school, the gates open and a swarm of children of different shapes and sizes escape out. Of course a lot of people stare at him and excited whispers reach his ears but he ignores them casually.

He leans against the wall and closes his eyes when his keen instincts of an assassin alert him of a new presence. His golden eyes open to come face to face with Suzuki Akira.

Manami's friend, he realises.

"Yo." He gives her a nonchalant smirk which she returns and then asks, "What are you doing here? Today is not 'Thursday.'"

"Ah. Is there a rule Suzuki-san, that I can't visit Okuda-san on any other day?'

"Well, of course not. Just saying. Do you want me call her out? She is in the lab with Yamaguchi senpai."

Karma holds himself from flinching back in front of her.

"Please do." He tells her.
