Friends

"What are you doing here, Akita?!"

"What are YOU doing here. You're poor." Akita gave a look of hate. "Not poor, actually richer than you." You smirked. "Oh? How so?" Akita raised a brow. "It's called..not flexing. You should try it some time, you don't have to tell everyone that you have money." You curved your lips in disgust.(this'll be explained in later chapters)

You two ended your little fight there before it could escalate. You finally took notice of the two other figures. They were both male, but one was obviously older than the other. One of them looked the same age as me, he had silver hair, like Akita's.

I was guessing that this was Akita's brother. He must be as snobby as her. The other figure had slicked-back, black hair. (Wut a tongue twister!) "I have brought my children to your house, so that you could get to know them. It seems a few know of Akita.. We brought them so you could see how they are, before signing the alliance." The black-haired man spoke to Hera.

"I see." Hera said, as the black-haired man walked out the house. Once he did, Akita turned to you and glared daggers at you. You bit your lip to stop yourself from insulting her, "So, What was that about?" Hera turned to you.

You began "Nothin-" "Akita's a bitch to her." Karma piped up. You gave Karma a 'bruh wtf' look. "Uh...I see.." Hera said, confusingly. Your classmates began to glare at Akita as well, "Geez, you guys look like your about to murder her." You turned to them. "Well, we want to, depending on how bitchy she is to you." Rio said. "Eh? She's not that much of a bitch, Karma just over-exaggerated." You said, this 'agreement' thing probably had to do with the Akabane business, you didn't want to ruin it for them.

"You see, me and Akita are 'best friends', love hate relationship." You faked a smile. Akita decided to play along, probably to make her business look good. "Yeah, We enjoy insulting each other, and then confusing the heck out of people when we're all buddy-buddy." Akita smiled. You gave a quick, side glare at Karma, "Karma, why would you say that about her? Apologize." You fake pouted.

Karma gave you a 'I hate you a lot right now' face, sighed, then looked away. Everyone began to do their own thing again, talking to each other. Some began to talk to Akita because they believed your little lie. Everyone did, well, except Karma of course, he already knew. You sat on the couch, laying your head back and closing your eyes. "This is so stressing." You thought to yourself.

Suddenly you felt a pat on your head, you already knew it was Karma. "What?" You ask, lazily as you tilt your head back to look at the redhead. Karma jumped over the couch and plopped beside you, "Let's talk, I'm bored." He said. "I'm tired." You began. "Psh! You always are!" He said, unamused.

"Only when I'm with people like you, I swear, you're so lazy and then suddenly you become so energetic. It's a pain in the ass."

"Wow, What a let-down."

"Just shut up and let me sleep."

"You sloth."

"Thank you, sloths are quite cute."

"I'm bored."

"Cool."

You rested on the couch with your eyes closed. You felt Karma brushing his hand through your hair. "move over a bit." He said. You did as you were told because you didn't feel like dealing with him. He began to play with your hair. Just like Hera. You thought to yourself.

You felt your self getting sleepy. Suddenly, you drifted off.

"OHWAHH!! (Y/n), it looks adorable on you!"

"Uh..I don't really think I'd say adorable.."

"Ngeh? Everything looks adorable on you! Gosh, if I had a face like yours, I would've been a star by now! I really don't understand why you keep rejecting those commercial requests."

"Jia, you know I don't want that. Right now, my main focus is studying in school. Then, I'll go to a good college, get a good job, and get famous for that instead!"

"Study this, Study that. (Y/n), c'mon! Meet other people! What would happen if me and Asano-kun suddenly disappear, huh?! Then you'll be lonely!"

"Hey! Don't talk like that!"

"I'm just looking out for you, (y/n). I'm always here for you, but who knows how long I'll be here."

"Thanks, Jia, and stop being so pessimistic. Now hurry up and get your clothes. I'll just get this one since you like it so much."

You felt a nudge on your head. You rubbed your eyes, You saw Karma snickering. "What the fuck did you do this time?" You yawned. "Huh? I just gave you a new look, (y/n)-san~" Karma smiled. Sighing, you took out your phone. You clicked on Camera and looked at yourself.

The hair wasn't bad, it was actually put in two buns. What made it bad was Karma drew whiskers on you and made you look like a mouse. You gave Karma a 'bruh' look. He smiled, "like your makeover?"

"I hate you but at least I still look cute." You restive your tongue out. Unsatisfied with your response, Karma took out the marker again and began to run after you. You hid behind Rio, Kanzaki, and Hara. "Help! There's a Devil running after me!" You said. "Ha, what did you do to make him angry this time?.....your face.." Maehara said, striding over. "He wasn't amused with my reaction to him scribbling all over my face, now he's trying to draw more on my face!" You whined.

Nakamura, Maehara, Isogai, Kanzaki, and Hara all began to talk in a close circle with you in the middle to hide you.

—————————————————————

We were all going back home, I was walking with Isogai and Nakamura back home. Before I left, I made sure to flip Karma off. As I walked, Nakamura gave me some makeup-remover wipes. I began rubbing it on the sharpie. "I never thought you wore makeup, Rio" I said.

"Well, I don't, it gets useful in times like these." She laughed. "(Y/n)-san, I think I can see your house." Isogai said, pointing. Sighing, you smiled, "oh! You guys go ahead now." As they walked away, heaviness piled in your heart every step you took. Now, you were in front of your door. "Home, Sweet, home" you muttered, bitterly.

Opening the door, you dodged the incoming hand. "You're late, school ended 4 hours ago." Your grandpa growled. Ignoring, you made your way up the stairs. Suddenly, you felt a large tug at your hair. It made you stumble back. Your grandma was pulling you by your hair. "Where were you?!" She yelled, as she let go of you.

"Asano invited me for coffee, we talked about stuff, then he took me to the park and gave me this." You raised the gift that Asano gave you days ago. You were good at coming up with quick lies, you were good at deceiving. After all, when you've lived in these types of households, you pick up on such skills.

Your grandparents let you go, you ran to your room. Locking the door, you curled up in bed. Gee, it was tiring spending time with them, but I had fun.. why do I always have to go back here?..why can't I just be like other people?..Nice grandparents, Parents that are alive, bestfriend that didn't leave...

You opened your drawer only to be saddened at the fact that your mother's necklace was still not there.

Once again, you found yourself falling asleep...

"DAD! THERE ARE PEOPLE COMING TOWARDS THE HOUSE! I THINK I SAW A GUN!"

"(Y/N), HIDE IN THAT SECRET SPOT BEHIND YOUR DRESSER! QUICK!"

"What?! What about you?! You won't fit!!"

"Just hurry up!"

"Dad, who are these people?!"

"Just go hide, (y/n), please.. and I'm sorry for not being a good father and husband to you and your mom...I love you."

"W-why are you suddenly saying that?!"

"Go!"

....

"D-dad?"

....

"Hello, little one, are you perhaps

Mr. (L/n)'s daughter?"

"...y-yes...how is he? Is he okay?.."

".....I'm sorry, your father didn't make it.."

—————————————————————

Ooohh, so a few things to address.

1. I'll try to write (y/n)'s dreams in italics, so it doesn't confuse you, but I may forget.

2. Karma's spice collection plays a major role in them getting closer :P 😂

3. Every Dream is a memory. I make the good memories come when

(y/n) is with Karma or her friends, and bad memories, when she's with people she hate such as her grandparents. :D

Someone mentions Karma, I don't think of spiritual belief or Reddit point thing, I think of this cute cinnamon bun ^^
