Chapter 14: Act Quickly
"It's okay... everbody. I'm back."
Nagisa's POV
I was woken up by the sun shining through the curtains. Where am I? I sat up attempting to keep my eyes open.
What happened...
OHHH. Right. Skipping all the details blah blah blah I passed out due to the sudden impact, then before I blacked out I saw something red. According to
Koro-sensei, I did not bleed at all, just fainted. Soooo...
Huh?
I'm still trying to figure out what the color of red was. What could it be other than blood?
Not a lot of things happened since I was gone, apparently. I got a text from Maehara, telling me to feel better. Another from Isogai saying the same thing and apologized for Maehara being too... upbeat I guess? One from Kayano saying how proud she is of naming the teacher Koro-sensei. I laughed when I saw the pun. A few from Nakamura saying that, thanks to the incident she had figured something out. I didn't understand what she meant. There was a lot from the others too, since we have a class group chat where even Koro-sensei was included. The rest were from Karma. The only thing that was in my mind in that moment was that... well, since when did he care about me?
"Nagisa-chan, why are you blushing? Are you getting light-headed?"
"Hehe... no, I'm fine mother."
"Oh is it your classmates?"
"Eep." I said squeaking in surprise.
"So it is... is it a guy?"
"NO MOTHER NO IT ISN'T!!"
"DON'T YELL AT ME CHILD."
"Ahh... Yes mother. Sorry mother."
"By the way... I wouldn't mind if I were to have a son-in-law~"
"MOTHER!!!"
"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT YELLING TO YOUR ELDERS?!?"
"Yeah yeah..."
"You'll have to tell me eventually. Why not right now?" She said with eagerness.
"Hmmmm... Fine. Yes or no questions only though!"
"Oh then this is easy. Do you swear you will tell the truth though? You know I can tell if you're lying or not."
"Sure. After all... what can go wrong with a few questions?"
"Oh dear, you might have just triggered a red flag."
...Eh?
"First question: are you straight?"
"Of course mother!!"
"So that means Nakamura and Kayano are out..."
"W-What was that mother?!"
"No shouting dear~ I hope you know I had prepared a few possibilities about your crush, you know like a certain kid with a, I don't know... a rather odd hair color?"
Crap.
"How much do you know." I asked, scared of her answer.
"More than you do." She continued, "At least, more than you think I do. Second question: Do you like this one?" Mother had then held up a picture of Isogai.
"Haha no mother, he's too much of an ikemen for me."
"Huehue, I see I see. What about him?" She held up a picture of Maehara, "He looks cute enough to match you, but at the same time I can't help to think he's a-"
"Playboy?" I said finishing her sentence, "Yeah but no. He's dates too many girls, unfortunately I don't want my heart broken."
"But that's a part of love Nagisa. You'll get your heart broken eventually."
"...." I said nothing while looking down at my lap, while playing with my fingers.
"Okay. Third question! What about this guy?!" She said while holding a picture of Sugino.
"Nope mother, he's just a friend."
"Yup mhhmm sure sure whatever you say."
"I thought you were going to ask me about the guy with the unusual hair color?"
That's when I, Nagisa Shiota, had found out that Nakamura and Karma had a triplet. Because I saw that same shimmer in her eye when she had found out, and she had her own signature smirk.
"You. Have JUST CONFIRMED MY SUSPICIONS."
"Mother NO."
"No raising your voice dear."
"Too bad mother."
"No talking back either Nagisa-chan."
"...Fine."
"LAST QUESTION! Do you..."
Gulp.
"Like..."
Badump.
"Ka-"
"OH LOOK AT THE TIME MOTHER I HAVE GOTS TO GET GOING TO SCHOOL OR ELSE I'M GOING TO BE LATE 'KAY? OKAY GOODBYE!!" I said while running away from my mother who was still sitting in the same chair with all the pictures in her lap.
"Nagisa-chan no raising your voice, correct your posture, correct your grammer, cover your skirt, and stop lying to yourself!!"
Geez that mother of mine... We get along. I promise. She just doesn't like how I was born with an illness.
I was also discharged from the hospital after a few weeks because my mom didn't want me to stay there long since, well she didn't want to waste her money on that. Truthfully she works really hard, and has to spend what she earned on me. Do I really deserve someone like her? Not long after, I was able to go to school again.
•~Timeskip~•
"Sorry I'm late Koro-sensei!" There was silence in the room the second I had slid open the door and took a step inside.
"Hm? D-Did I cause anyone tr-trouble?
"Nagisa-chan!!!" Said Kayano and Koro-sensei running after me.
Everybody just kinda looked at us with shocked faces. Some also joined in on the hug, some just stood akwardly right next to us afraid they'll disturb the moment. The rest of the class just stayed in their seats with there head down looking all sad and not caring at all despite all the messages he had sent me and kept mumbling words into the desk while glancing back and fourth through his red bangs with some kind of expression that I can't read even though he's like kind of my best friend and what kind of friend am I if I can't understand what they are feeling or what they are thinking.
...Wait what.
"MINNA-SAN JOIN IN ON THE HUG AND I'LL GIVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU AN A!!" Koro-sensei said, shouting at the rest of the class.
After that everybody came running up to the three of us.
I got pushed and touched in weeeeiiird places, but you know nice to know everyone cares about their grades.
Nakamura's POV
"Karma-kunnnn~ whatchu doing around just watching?! Don't you want to hug Nagisa-chan~?"
"Of course I do... But I don't want people to question me." He said with his face facing down towards the desk, looking disappointed.
"True true, everyone will judge you but everyone already knows."
"Excuse moi?"
"Yep yep you heard me right: Your feelings are obvious. Welllll... to everyone but Nagisa-chan. Do ya know why she's so dense?"
"No... she's always been like that though." Karma said while laughing a little, then continued,"One time when we were walking home someone on the train put their arm around her shoulder... yeah that kinda made me mad. Especially when Nagisa didn't notice, sooo I just glared at the man for and uncomfortably long amount of time 'till he removed his arm. Nagisa then noticed the bloodlust and looked at me."
"Haha~ that sounds like you. But why did Nagisa let the man do that? She can for sure take care of herself."
"Apparently, she thought it was me so she didn't mind... after all the trouble huh?" He said once again laughing a little. I looked down at him. His tone of voice was so soft and delicate, but so sad at the same time. Like he can break at any moment.
"...you really miss her, don't you?"
He looked up and looked at me straight in the eyes, and said "Uhn."
He sounds so sure of himself. But then again, he slammed his head back down on the table.
Geez... Karma-kun's really hard to interpret sometimes...
I skipped like an innocent little child, which obviously contradicts who I really am, and headed towards Nagisa.
Everybody already stopped hugging and kept bugging Koro-sensei for their A's already. I pulled Nagisa away from the rest of the class and made sure that Karma was out of ear-shot.
"So Nagisa-chan... howww arrreee you feeelinggg?"
"F-fine? But why are you talking like that...?"
"No reasonnn~" I said sing-songy (if that's a word), "By the way, the class is going on a field trip to Kyoto... The field trip is next week, you should come!! " I said, but I whispered the rest,"Because I have a plan...and you'e gonna be apart of it.."
"Eh?"
"Make your move."
"I really don't hear what you're saying Nakamura-san..."
"UGH FINE!" I shouted. I tried to sound like the devil I was that time too...
"Make your move. Ask, and I'll help. After all, you've got competition."
