Karma and I had already been to the restaurant before, but it wasn't a real date. Nakamura made a plan for me and Karma to go out but I denied that it would work. She practically sweet talked Karma into letting me come and then...she stood him up.
It pissed me off that I knew what was happening. It pissed me off that I went along with it, and it pissed me off that I had a crush on Karma and hadn't told him sooner. "Karma I-" I saw Karma stick his hands in his pockets and sigh under his breath. "Yeah..?" I retracted my thought and shook my head. "Never mind." I mumbled and walked past him silently.
Nakamura dragged me along shopping with her and everything. I was pretty much forced to buy a dress. A short, red dress ending at my thighs and being off the shoulders. "Do you...know where she is.?" Karma grabbed my wrist and looked down at his feet. "Ah, I-I don't..." I looked away and felt my face turn pink. "Okay, let's go in anyway.." Karma smiled at me quickly then continued walking. It killed me to see the tears rushing down his face for even a second.
Karma sat us in the same spot as we sat together last time. It was only more awkward than before. Karma didn't look at me, and if he spoke, it was about Nakamura. "I never would have thought that she wouldn't have shown up..." I fiddled with a napkin under the table and mumbled something to myself. Nakamura finally did something and spoke to me through the ear piece. "Hey, start some kind of conversation!" I swallowed and picked up my menu.
"So, do you want the same thing as last time or-"
"I'm sorry Annabelle, I-I just...I thought she liked me when she invited me out.." Karma fiddled with his hair and I mumbled something under my breath, "I thought you liked me when you invited me out..." Karma flicked his head up and smiled softly, a smile I knew all to well. The fake smile you could see through in a second if you've been used it before. I saw it, I knew. "Look, you don't have to stay if you don't want to...no one really wants to hang out with me. Trust me, I know." I don't know what happened in that second, but Karma's eyes were just so damn sad and I didn't know what emotion was flowing through me..but it felt like a lot.
I stood up from my seat and leaned over the table, grabbing hold of Karma's shirt collar. "Ah- "
"You think no one likes you? Karma! Are you out of your mind or just stupid! Seriously, since the day I got to this school, I have been by your damn side! I kicked your dads ass because he was hurting you! We do everything together! You think no one likes you!? That's far from the truth because I like you!" My voice was starting to crack and tears formed in my eyes. "No! I don't like you! I love you! I look up to you because you're not just my best friend! You're my idol! I'm so stupid to be in love with a violent little show off but I am! You see none of that!" I finally let go of Karma, tears streaking down my face. I couldn't see Karma's face, but I knew mine was red.
"I'm leaving." I flattened out my dress and walked away silently. Leaving Karma on his own.
When I got back to my house, my father wasn't home, again. I still had the earpiece on when I sat down on my bed. "What the hell was that?" Nakamura spoke through the earpiece and I frowned. "You didn't hear what he was saying...you didn't know." I re-watched the situation in my head and gasped. "Did you hear everything I said?" Nakamura went silent and I covered my face with my hands. "I came back from the bathroom, listening to you cry and scream that you look up to him or something. I dunno I had to take the headphones off because you were so loud." I felt myself go light headed. "Thank god for that.." I said goodbye to Nakamura and flipped myself over to my side, staring at the wall. "Damn I'm an idiot.
I fell asleep late that night hoping that I was either dreaming, or Karma suddenly gets amnesia from something.
When I opened my eyes and checked the time, I was late for school. "Oh..crap." I rushed into my uniform and shoved some books in my bag. I threw the door open and didn't care if it shut or not. I had to get to school. I avoided people all through the busy street and tried not to take a wrong turn. "Careful!" I bumped shoulders with an older person and apologized quickly, not stopping to take a breath.
Once I got to the entrance of the school, I decided to take a short cut. I pounced into a tree and ran from branch to branch, it was easier then going around on the path, it was too hard to follow when you were rushing. In the trees, it was a straight path, as long as you didn't fall out. When I reached the campus, class was in full swing. I ran into the classroom and stood at the door.
"Annabelle, you're late." Mr Karasuma stood firmly at the podium in front of the rest of the busy working class. "S-sorry Mr K..." I huffed into my seat and pulled out a random book. I didn't dare glance over to my side at Karma, who I could tell, was staring at me. I felt my face go pink and I copied what was written on the board.
When class ended, I stood up and attempted to rush out of the room. Karma grabbed onto my wrist and pulled me back.
"Can we talk?"
