What Happens Now? -A Karakai Jouzu No Takagi-San FanFiction-

Chapter Five - The Trip To Mount Fuji

Hey people, Im very sorry for not updating! Its been about two weeks since I last updated, its just all this Covid-19 business is really annoying! So here is the 5th chapter you all deserve!

Nishikata's POV

"Wake up, Nishikata! You don't want to be late for your trip now, do you?" said my mom. I sadly awoke from my great slumber, and grudgingly brushed my teeth. I went down for breakfast, and I decided to eat some Cheerios.

After that, I quickly changed into my clothes and out of my PJs. I took my backpack and my suitcase and put them in front of the door.

"Bye mom! I'll see you in five days!" I said excited, but nervous at the same time. "I'll miss you honey! Don't forget to brush your teeth, wake up on time, shower when needed to and all that." she said. "I won't.." I said annoyed.

I took my stuff and started walking to the bus stop. Waiting there was a pain, but I managed to wait for the bus. I was sadly, the last stop.

I hope the bus driver doesn't forget me. I thought. It would be a pain in the butt to know that the bus driver forgot you.

Honestly, Mount Fuji isn't so far away that it would take forever, but to go back and get me is a huge annoyance.

While I was in the middle of my weird thoughts, the bus arrived. I was relieved that I wasn't left behind. I suddenly remembered that I would be sitting next to Takagi-San. I made that promise to her a few days earlier.

My heart started beating faster, since the girl I like will be sitting next to me!

I wonder if she will reject me if I confess, what if she doesn't like me?! Oh no, why did I ever like her in the first place, wait what am I thinking! Shes such a cute and smart—Ok, that's enough, I need to control myself.

A jumble of thoughts were getting screwed up in my head. I heard the bus doors open (It was about time!) and the driver got out of the bus.

She opened up the side of the bus to put my suit case in. I took my backpack with me, so I wouldn't get bored. Plus, it had candy. Sweet, tasty candy. I was so excited about the candy!

I thanked the bus driver for putting my luggage away, and I got onto the bus. I was looking at each seat and I finally found the one next to, you guessed it, Takagi-San.

I sat down and I said, "Hello, T-Takagi-San." I was glad that I managed to get that out. "Hey, Nishikata!" she said. Her eyes were twinkling.

As soon as she said that, I started coughing like crazy, and blushing like crazy. (Of course I was blushing, Takagi-San was next to me!) "Are you okay? Did you choke on something?" she said.

Thump-Thump. Thump-Thump.

Uh-oh, I was going to explode. I don't think I could handle her being next to me. If I didn't confess soon, I would literally break. I'm dead serious. I would snap in half. I had to do something, or *gulp* say something to her.

"U-um, y-yes I'm okay, n-no problem Takagi-San." *cough cough* I said. She looked worried, but then she sighed and looked out the window. The bus had already started moving, and we were out of town.

"You should drink some water, maybe you'll stop coughing." she said. I took out my water bottle and drank some water. She was glancing at me. I closed up the water bottle, and then I put it back. I looked over to her, and

Bang.

I passed out. The last thing I saw was Takagi-San's face. I hope I didn't startle her.

Takagi-San's POV

Nishikata just passed out. His head fell on my lap. On my LAP!! I was so happy about this, but I realized that I was happy about my crush passing out. I mean, if he passed out like this all the time, it would be great.

Yeah right, he doesn't even like me. But, he does get super flustered around me. Like non-stop. I wish I could talk to him normally, but he just wont stop blushing. Like he can do that.

I called out the the teacher chaperones in the front of the bus. "Hey Tanabe-sensei, Nishikata passed out!" I said. Tanabe-sensei hurried over to my seat and he saw Nishikata sleeping on my lap. He looked kind of shocked, but not too shocked that it was weird.

"Well, could you take care of him for now? I hope it isn't a big favor. Its not a big deal, just look after him, and when he wakes up ask him if he's alright. If he looked like he'll throw up, just tell me to come over." he said.

I nodded in agreement, and he looked relieved. Though, I really wonder why he passed out. I did cut the teasing down quite a bit, but that makes him ever MORE flustered. What should I even do anymore? Maybe I should confess?

No way. Nishikata doesn't even like me.

Wait. Maybe I should test him to see if he likes me..or find out who he likes. I wonder if he even likes anyone. Maybe he does, maybe not.

Its a 99.99% chance he does, since he always gets flustered around me. That might prove it is me who he likes. You know what, I think I'll confess during the trip.

In a nice and secret location. I'll just ask my friends for a spot like that and I'll take him there. That will be amazing, and thinking about the guy he is, he might not reject me.

Even if he does, he wont be harsh, right? I hope not. I would shatter if he did.

I'm so scared. And excited.

I wonder if I'm doing the right thing.
