"Too easy." You and Karma think.

"Oh right! It's time for Phys. Ed!" You exclaim. "K-Karma...Can you join us, just this one time for Phys. Ed." You said in a quiet voice, but loud enough for the everyone to hear. Karma understood what you were trying to do, "Fine." He said, with a small smile.

The class oohed, smirked, and grinned. They thought they were so smart, everyone begins to come out of the staff room, you and Karma leave last, walking beside each other. "See ya at the field." You say to Karma as you walk into the Girl's Locker Room.

You change and strut to the field, you stand beside Nakamura, "oh sorry, Nagisa is taking that spot." She smirks. "Wha-What?" Nagisa says. "Just go along with it." Nakamura whispers in Nagisa's ear.

The same thing kept happening to you everytime you tried to stand next to someone. That is, until you ended up next to Karma. Satisfied, the class began to stretch. Karasuma-sensei walks onto the field. "Knife Throwing!" He yells. Everyone takes out their knives and line up near the target practices. Each person takes their turn throwing the knives quickly at three targets consecutively. It's Karma's turn and you watch as he throws 1 knife at each target, at the same time. Bullseye..

"How the fuck?.." You say as he walks past you to the end of the line. After, everyone threw their knives at least 5 times. Then, Karasuma-sensei made everyone climb the school wall. It was pretty easy and you were 2nd to climb to the top. Karma was first😒, " too slow, (y/n)" he smirked. You stuck your tongue out at him.

Now was sparring time, a few students crowded around Karasuma-sensei. They seemed to be asking/begging for something, "they probably want to spar with a certain person." You thought. You see Karasuma-sensei finally agree to whatever they were asking and sigh.

"Okay, Nakamura spar Kayano, Itona with Terasaka, Sugaya with Hazama,

(y/n) with Taiga, Kanzaki with Okuda, Karma with Maehara, Hiyami spar Chiba....."

You stood on a mat with Taiga and began to spar. Easy win, you used a few tactics that Karma taught you. Once everyone finished their matches, Karasuma began pairing up new people. "I saw that" Karma smirked at you.

Your next opponent was Fuwa, once again. You used some of the blocking techniques you were shown by Akabane. After your match, Karma walked up to you after he won his, "I'm such a good instructor~" he teases, you roll your eyes.

After 4 matches, you all were hugging and puffing. It was the last match, "Everyone, I saw your techniques and methods while you fought and tried matching them to the best opponent for you..." Karusuma began, he called out names.. Then you heard it, "...Karma and (y/n)..."

"Damn." You thought to yourself. Karma and you stepped into the mat. You began to attack, Karma didn't attack but merely dodged. Everyone began to finish their matches until it was only you and Karma. Karma then began to attack. You dodged. The class watched as you two sparred, your fighting styles were similar, because...well, Karma showed you.

The fight was going on for too long, so you decided to do an attack that Karma hadn't showed you. One that your mother showed you. You put your hand in a flat position and striked up, towards Karma's face. He dodged by moving back. While he stepped back, you took out your foot and tripped Karma. He landed on the mat. Karma used his hand to trip you as well when he landed on the mat.

After 10 minutes, Karasuma stopped the spar, it went on too long. " Good Job!" Karma smiled at you, you looked away, "What's wrong?" He asked. "You were..holding back.." you said. "Well, I wanted to see how you improved, you did okay!" He said, trying to cheer you up. "Sure.." you sigh.

Phys. Ed class ended. Everyone was worn out, there was a little break before math class. Korosensei summoned everyone( except you and Karma) to the staff room. But this time, it was locked.

You and Karma sat in the classroom alone. "Hey Karma, wanna go hear what they're planning?" You asked. "Nah, not worth my time, too tired.." he said, his arms on his desk with his head laying on them. "Ok." You respond.

The class begin to come into the classroom. "Hey (y/n), wanna join us after class to go watch a movie? We have 4 tickets!" Kurahashi asked. "No thanks" you answered, you didn't wanna deal with a matchmaking attempt. The class looked disappointed. "Hey! Karma! Wanna come to the movies?!" Hayami asked, trying to get the plan back together.

"Fine.." Karma played along, everyone got a sense of hope, "if (y/n) comes" he smirks. "Ugh! Damn him! A new episode of (f/a) was coming out today!" You thought. "Sorry, no" you say to Karma. "Aww~ please?~" he pleaded. "Yeah,

(y/n)! Please?" Hayami and Kurahasa pleases alongside Karma. You gave Karma a 'I hate you' look, he smirked. "No." You said more sternly. "Aww~ No bibimbap for you then~" Karma said.

You perked up, "Nevermind! I'm coming!" You said eagerly. Karma smiled, "I knew it'd work." He said. The class took mental notes, "(y/n)'s weakness- Bibimbap."

After class, Hayami added you, Karma, and Kurahasa into a group chat.

Hayami

Okay, Green Flamingo Cinema, alright?

(Y/n) and Karma

Kurahasa

Don't forget, at 7!

(Y/n)

You got up from bed and put on some jeans and a green sweater. (Let's see Who knows their colour wheel😏)

It was 6:30, you grabbed a small, grey and black purse with a strap.(kinda like this⤵️)

You walked downstairs and you're grandma scowled at you. "You're not going anywhere, brat. You're going to mop the floor." You ignore her, "clean it yourself, bye Grandma, love you!" You say sarcastically. You get a glare in return.

You walked to the cinema and waited. 5 minutes later, you see Karma come in through the doors. He's wearing a maroon sweater with grey jeans. His eyes scan the cinema, until he sees you waving at him. He walks towards you. "Where are they?" He asks. "I don't know, I think their plan was to bail on us." You said.

Hayami and Kurahasa came in through the doors. "Or not?" You say. They walk towards you guys, "What movie?" Karma asks. "Sweet Home, it's a horror." Kurahasa answers. "I see where this is going, could've guessed it." You and Karma think.

The four of you go to the snack booth. "One Extra Large Popcorn please!" Hayami orders. "One?" You ask. "Me and Hayami aren't hungry." Kurahasa says. "Oh" you answer. "What candy do you want?" Hayami asks. "(F/C)" you and Karma say in unison. "K" Hayami orders it.

"I didn't know you liked (f/c) too." Karma looks at you. "Well they're delicious." You say. "True, True." Karma says.

Suddenly, Hayami and Kurahasa get a ping sound on they're phones. They pull out they're phones, grin for a second, then wear an obviously fake apologetic face. "I'm so sorry, (y/n) and Karma!! We have an emergency to go to!" Kurahasa says. "Oh, it's fine. I didn't really feel like watching a movie anyways." You say.

"No, no! We already paid for the tickets! You two can watch it!" Hayami says. "I knew it." You and Karma think. "Fine" Karma says, putting his arm around your shoulder.

—————————————————————

You and Karma get middle row seats and ads begin to play on the cinema screen. Korosensei and the rest of the class, acting all sneaky we're watching both of your every moves 3 rows back. The two of you knew, but acted oblivious. You put your head on Karma's shoulder and whisper, so only he can hear, "What do we do?". "Let's let them think it's working." He whispers back. "Okay." You respond.

The movie begins and you sit up straight. You begin to eat from the popcorn. Like every other horror movie, it began peacefully and happy. 40 minutes later, tension began to rise into the movie, after an hour the creepy began to happen.

A jumpscare, you played along to those clichè romance movies, you shriek and hide your face behind Karma's shoulder. You whisper in his ear, " Do I really have to do this?". "Eh, just do it, it's cute.~" he whispers back. You take a quick glance at the class. Some where pretending to be fearless, some looked like they pissed they're pants, and some were just amused watching you two.

The movie ends, with you occasionally hiding behind Karma's shoulder. The two of you walk out the theatre. It's 9 pm. "K, ima go home now." You tell Karma. "I'll walk with you." He says.

The two of you make it to your house, the two of you exchange goodbyes. Karma waits for you to get home before he begins to walk towards the direction of his house.

(Y/n)'s POV

You go into the door and quickly take a step back to avoid the hand that came barreling towards you. "It's past curfew." Your 'grandpa' scowled.

"Sorry to break it, grandpappy, But

1.I never agreed to a curfew

2. I don't care

3.Mind your own business" you snap, sarcastically.

"Spoiled little-!" You hear as you skipped up the stairs and into your bedroom. "I had fun..again!.. wow, it's been awhile..heh, last time I've felt genuinely happy was when mother was still alive..I miss you mom.." you talk to yourself. As you happily thought about the fun day you had with Karma, two thoughts popped up in your head making you go back to your gloomy self.

"What if Karma just pities or hates me?.."

"Do I deserve to be happy?.."

You lied on your bed and take a deep sigh. Two years ago, you'd be crying by now. When you were 12, you'd always cry yourself to sleep because of a lingering gloom in your heart that you didn't know the cause of. When you hit 13, you've been exposed to so much pain, that nothing even hurted anymore. You just learnt to accept it and pretend everything was okay.

Since the death of your mom, you'd always fake a smile. It was tough to hide your feelings at first, but then it got easier and easier to pretend to be okay, to be happy, to act like you feel. Gosh, you could've been an actress if you cared enough about your future.

But when your mom died, your future didn't matter to you anymore. She was the only one who had ever made you smile, laugh, and encouraged and supported you. After she left Earth, there was no one to impress your grades with, no one to feel proud of you if you graduated or got a good job. Nothing had mattered. The only reason you decided to keep yourself alive was to avenge and fulfill your mother's dying wish.

"(Y/n), in a few minutes, I'll be gone, I'll leave Earth. I'll be watching you in Heaven. There will be times when you feel you can't take it anymore, times when you just want to die. But always remember to fight! If you can't live for yourself or your dreams, then live for me, live and keep my memory alive. I want you to live a full life, don't shorten it. Life is precious." You remember your mother's words as she put something in your hands, "Before you die, I want to see you with someone you love, someone who will love you as much as I do. Once you find that special person, you must wear this. Then give it to your future children. Stay alive, (y/n), remember mommy loves you.."

You remember her put her hand on your cheeks as you cry your eyes out. As she said "I love you", and as she took her last breath and closed her eyes. You remember screaming for someone to help, with no one coming to your aid. You remember screaming for your mom to stay with you.. When the ambulance finally came, she was long gone. You looked at what she put in your hands, it was a necklace. Thin pure gold, with a small, shiny, grey gemstone charm.

You lied down in bed remembering all of went down that night. You look back in your nightstand and open a small laced box tucked in the shadowed corners of the drawers. You opened it and smiled, looking at the necklace your mom left behind.

"I love you, mom.."
