"Dammit Hagiwara why are you here?!"

He pouted stubbornly and glared at Nakamura, not noticing the girl adorned with glasses and two braids standing behind her. He crossed his arms and looked at Karma, his eyes widening a little before returning back to normal, "I-I already told you, I want to see (Y/N)! I need to talk to her about something."

Nakamura clicked her tongue against the top of her mouth and stormed pass causing Manami to flinch and follow hastily, "O-Oi! I was talking to you!"

Nakamura stopped and turned her head quickly, glaring daggers at the boy when he stopped, chills going down his spine when she spoke lowly, "I have nothing to say to you, (Y/N) isn't here so go away."

"I do-"

"And I don't care if you don't care! Just because you think you own the main building doesn't mean you have any influence over us up here- you mean nothing over here, okay?"

Karma had been watching from behind them, leaning against the wall of the class with his bag in hand, he smirked at the fearful look on Hagiwara's face and watched Nakamura and Manami walk away as they left for the hospital. In all honesty Karma wanted to follow them as well, he wanted to see you and what you looked like. He was a little nervous to though, he didn't feel like he could when he never really knew you- only catching small glimpses of you at school but he never actually saw your face.

He thought it was odd that he didn't notice a girl that caused so much trouble in his own school. He was interrupted in his daydream by Isogai and Maehara walking by, they were talking amongst each other and Nagisa walked out behind them. Nagisa almost smiled towards his red-haired friend but it faltered when he noticed the red devil walking toward the two boys in front of him, "Hey~ guys, where're you heading?"

Maehara paused just as Isogai did and looked back, a little weirded out to see Karma walking up to them, Maehara glanced at his best friend when he answered, "Uh- I'm going to the cafè- my shift starts in.." He checked his phone briefly, "Thirty-five minutes."

Karma nodded and Maehara squinted his eyes in confusion, "Did.. Did you need something Karma?"

Karma's eyes seemed to analysing the orange-haired male and he fell in step beside them when they continued walking further, "I don't feel like going home just yet, let's go then."

The two boys shrugged their shoulders, Isogai had turned to see a blue-haired boy watching them with his mouth slightly agape, "Nagisa! Hey, you wanna come too? We're going to the cafè I work at." Karma looked back, smiled and nodded which made Nagisa smile, the four of them started walking as Karma fell in step with Nagisa as the other two continued to talk among themselves in front. They all walked out of school and kept in a group, "Karma, what are you doing?"

Nagisa couldn't help but ask what was on his mind, Karma only looked at his with a odd look, like he didn't know what he was talking about and then he smiled a little, Nagisa was oddly drawn in by that smile- he wondered what you'd think about it too, "I just wanted to stop by somewhere on the way home."

They were walking along the street when Isogai suddenly turned into a store, Karma noticed the cafè they walked into, Maehara immediately turning left at the entrance to slid into a booth. Karma slid in on the other side, Nagisa following after him and Isogai sat next to Maehara. The both of them were staring at Karma- or the spot he was in, "It feels weird to see someone else sitting there- even after all this time, right?" Maehara didn't smirk but his lips lifted up a little and Nagisa looked at the spot too, seeing two letters on the edge of the table in front of Karma, "Hey, what's that?"

Karma looked down to where Nagisa was pointing, he saw two letters, just as Isogai spoke up as he scratched the back of his head, "Oh that, (Y/N) always talked about engraving her initials there but then one day she finally did- Maybe she was worried that I'd get in trouble."

"(Y/N)? Worried?" Karma didn't know why he said that, he didn't even know her after all and it seemed that he had shocked the three boys sitting around him too, "I mean, that doesn't sound like her- from what I've heard."

Maehara nodded slowly and stared at the table, "She-.. She did that on the day of the accident, like she knew it was all going to happen like it did, or she knew it was a possibility."

"What? She knew this would all happen? How long had she been planning it?" Isogai glanced at Nagisa when he spoke with a loud tone, surprised to find this out, he then looked down at his watch and shook his head, "I'd better get going."

Maehara waved like Nagisa did and Karma nodded towards him before the both were staring at Maehara for answers, "We-well she was just acting weird a few days before it happened- she was distant and more reckless I guess as well. We only came here a few times before it happened."

He began smiling, as if remembering a good memory, "What is it?" Karma was always the first to ask, he looked eager but he tried to play it off as nothing, "Oh- I was just remembering what we did here, Isogai was so shocked- it was hilarious."

Nagisa sat forward more and listened, focused, "(Y/N) was my wingman- we'd come here and wait for Isogai during his whole shift and rate girls- sometimes she'd rate some guys as well. Then she would talk to the girls and then they would come over and (Y/N) would just smile at her work- I got a lot of girls numbers thanks to her!" He chuckled, pulling out his phone to see his contact list, his cheeks turning pink, "It was really fun.."

"She.. She was your wingman?!"

Karma glanced at Nagisa but his eyes gravitated back to the phone in front of Maehara, he didn't hear Maehara's answer when he spoke, completely unaware before the table was quiet, both of them staring at him, "Show me some pictures of her."

Maehara nodded and slowly opened his camera roll, tapping a photo to turn his phone and show the red- haired boy when his eyes widened, his jaw almost fell open, "I was talking to this girl and I didn't even realise that she had taken my phone until I got it back later, she took so many pictures.."

Karma was entranced, that's all he knew- his eyes scanned the entire picture burning the image of you into his mind. The first thing he thought, was that you were hot- but that didn't do any justice at all. You were beautiful, stunning- he was in a trance and this was only an image.

The way you smiled so carefree, your smile was so wide- your lips were so nice and pink and your (E/C)- coloured eyes glowed so heavenly. He knew he was in trouble.

"She's.."

"Hot, right?"

Nagisa looked at Hiroto, shocked that he'd say such a thing, Hiroto smiled and chuckled as well, scratching the back of his neck, "She's a triple threat alright, she's got the looks, a fiery personality and a witty mind- she's an amazing friend though she's super scary sometimes- right, Nagisa?"

Karma didn't know whether to be angry about what Maehara said about you being, 'hot' or if he should be relieved about the compliments you received but he continued to ask Nagisa about what he meant, he felt so compelled to know you, "Uh- yeah, well everyone in class knows that, even some unlucky teachers too." Nagisa nervously let out a chuckle, feeling Karma's stare and looked up at him to feel chills at the direct stare, his eyes were swirling with a need, Karma almost looked thirsty to know.

"Those teachers in the main building, right? Shouldn't you have heard about that Karma?"

He was confused, "I don't know, maybe- tell me about it."

Maehara only thought of this as Karma wanting to know about (Y/N) because she was another student in their class, Nagisa knew it had to be more than that. Karma was always the lazy student that didn't care about anything except for certain things that may entertain him or benefit him, "Well, (Y/N) had.. Three? Yeah, three warnings before coming to the end class- I don't know how they were so lenient on her but she was one of the first to come to 3-E with Terasaka and his group."

"So she went to class E at the start of the year?"

Nagisa smiled when thinking back, he knew you had just about given up on Junior high because of the ridiculous people you conversed with, they seemed to annoy you every day and playing with them was hilarious- he never understood why you felt that way, "Yeah, one of the reasons was because she brought a stray cat to school, in her bag. She'd pat it in class when the teacher wasn't looking until she got caught three days later. She got a detention for the whole week in the next week."

"What about her friends?"

"Friends? She didn't hang out with anyone- I only ever saw her talking to Nagisa I think, and these douchebags that she messed around with." Maehara shook his head dismissively, leaning his head on his arm on the table before him, it felt a little weird to be talking about their classmate with someone that wasn't Isogai but he felt as if it also brought them closer; that was the skill that (Y/N) had when she wasn't there.

"Those were the guys she almost got into a fight with- she told me that she was excited about it but then Karma cut in and beat them up, do you remember that?" Karma's eyes widened again, he had long given Maehara his phone back after sending a couple to his own phone and thought back to that fight he had, the girl who had been smiling as she watched on the sidelines.

"That was the same girl who was smiling when I beat that kid up that made me come to this class, right? So she did that twice?"

"Yeah, she loves playing with people that easily fall for her words and tricks- it happened twice. She also made a paint bomb too- that was with Okuda-san."

Karma couldn't believe his ears, he had been so close to this girl, (Y/N) twice in the same situation and he still didn't get a good look at her face, she had always walked away before he could see her properly, "Bombs?"

"BOMBS?"

Nagisa jumped when Karma repeated what he said, Maehara yelling it over him as well when his perked up and heard this new information, "You've got to be kidding me! That girl is insane."

Maehara laughed along with Nagisa and Karma began smiling again, his eyes turning dark, "After that fight; the first one, (Y/N) was running from the teacher so she hid in the chemistry lab where she found Okuda-san. The teacher caught her but everyday after that, (Y/N) told me that she'd be going to the science room with a friend- I had no idea what she was on about so honestly, I was a little scared."

Karma nodded, leaning forward a little to make Nagisa continue, "She told me that she had something planned but all she said was that she wanted to make her some people more 'colourful'- I didn't ask."

"Smart move, that was those three explosions right? No one said anything and the teachers were hiding it right? That was so awesome! You didn't hear it Karma? There were three of them."

"I.. I might've been skipping class. I think I remember hearing three bangs when I was on the roof."

Maehara laughed again, slapping the table lightly when reminiscing the craziness that had happened in his school, it was so much more fun than learning in class when they had to evacuate for precautionary reasons, "Yeah- she put paint in the bombs and she told me that she put one in the place that those guys hung out in, the other one was thrown in the cafeteria cause it was lunch time and the last one was in the faculty room- she was covered in paint when she ran past me and she just kept on laughing."

"I can't believe this girl.. And she got herself in a coma before I could meet her.."

Karma looked away, his eyes staring out the window as the sun was almost setting and the mood around them darkened when the word 'coma' was spoken aloud, no one liked saying it when they were all already thinking it, "Uh- Koro-sensei says her vitals are doing great and her brain is back to normal- no more... no more swelling or anything like that- I believe she'll wake up any moment now."

Maehara grinned reassuringly at Nagisa's words and the blue-haired boy felt his negative emotions fading away when Karma also smiled too, he was hiding it but Nagisa could see the way his cheeks turned up a bit, he felt glad that he managed to make the boys feel better. Isogai had been walking by with a tray in hand, he stopped quickly to see them, smiling as he spoke, "Hey maybe one of these days this week we can go see (Y/N)?"

Two of the three nodded at the ikemen but noticed Karma still glancing out of the window, not getting involved, "Karma? If you're busy then we can go another time."

Karma flinched and turned his head quickly, scaring Isogai a little when he looked over to see customers calling for him, hearts glowing in their eyes, he left with a nervous smile and Nagisa glanced at him with an odd expression, "I can come too?"

Maehara nodded, wondering why he seemed so flustered over a question but Nagisa also knew that this would be his first time visiting your hospital room, where you laid insentient and completely opposide to how you sounded in the stories Karma heard.

Both Nakamura and Manami were in the room, room 38 where their eyes never left the girls body. (Y/N) looked so peaceful and her skin was clear of any and all injuries from that afternoon at the cliff. Manami was too scared to break the silence, too worried to attract attention so she stayed standing by the bed as Nakamura grabbed a chair and sat down. The television played in the corner of the room and Nakamura switched the channel to something (Y/N) preferred; it was an involuntary act.

"It's getting dark quicker now.."

Manami flinched at the sound of Rio's voice, she nodded when gazing out the window when the sky turned orange with small, dark clouds, "How cruel.. making us wait so long."

"I-..." Manami noticed that Rio was staring at (Y/N) when she said and opened her mouth making Rio glance at her as she had finally spoken, the smaller girl fiddled with her hands in front of her, "I can't stop thinking about what Koro said.. About h-her medication."

Rio nodded and sighed out loud, she reached out to grab (Y/N)'s hand and moved her fingers with her own, both pairs of eyes watched the action, "I-.. I think she had some sort of disorder; something related to her behavior, it sort of makes sense after thinking about it."

"A-and.. And with what happened when the Chairman came to our class-"

"That was totally uncalled for! That was just plain heartless, I can't believe he did that.."

Okuda flinched again when Nakamura spoke aggressively, her brows furrowed and her hand tightened around (Y/N)'s when both of them remembered what their principal had done.

--

That morning, you had woken up to find your mother standing by the door, her eyes were narrowed and hard; she was either really displeased with the sight of you or angry because of something you had done. You removed the blankets from your body with a smile and stretched to greet her but she dismissed you, turning for go downstairs towards the kitchen. She clearly was waiting for you to get up to follow her, you did so and gulped harshly at the sight of a small bottle on the counter.

You stood on one side as she stood on the other, her business clothes on with no crinkles, her hair up and nothing was out of place. Her heels clicked against the floor, the only sound heard in the dark house in the early hours of the morning, "Morning 'Kaasan.."

She scoffed and dismissed you again, taking her coffee to stare at you as she took a sip, there was only one cup- for her and no breakfast prepared. It made you wonder what you had done wrong to get such treatment from the woman titled your mother, the cup was put down on the counter with lipstick stains on the rim, "Why is this full?"

She had been referring to the small bottle of pills on the counter, you had chuckled awkwardly and looked to the side and avoided her stare, it was a chilling feeling to be directly under it, "Uh well, you know I'm a forgetful girl! So I always think I'm going to take them but then I forget and I just-"

"Forgetful girl? I've never heard nor knew about that."

She scoffed to herself, obviously believing that everything tumbling from your mouth was a lie, she knew it to be true and once she thought that, she wouldn't listen to anything else. After glancing at the time, you had bounced on the balls of your feet and turned around slowly, "I-I've got to get ready for school."

She signed and pinched the bridge of her nose, turning to place the empty mug now in the sink and left the tablets there, "Dont forget about this, idiot girl."

Without looking back, you retreated back to your room, anger boiling within you as everyone who knew you would already know how forgetful you were- it was an obvious trait of yours.

After walking through the streets to school on an empty stomach, you were in class. The bell went. The teacher (Alien/Octopus) came in to greet everyone. He went through the roll and everyone was present. First period started before another adult came in, a former teacher actually. It was the Chairman of the school and the entire class gasped in unison and he smiled, or smirked. Koro was flailing til he reappeared behind you in the back. You had been glaring- you had always hated this sadistic principal that thrived on the idea of a perfect school in his eyes.

"Koro.. I'm here to see (Lastname)-san." About to slip out of your seat, he stopped you and you grew puzzled, he pulled his hand from his pocket as the other was holding the door that he had slid open.

"Your mother actually visited me in my office so I decided to relay the message in person as it seemed crucial that you get these immediately," He slowly pulled something out, the size of his palm and it shook from inside the bottle. Your eyes widened and the class turned to see you standing with wide, frightful eyes, "She said; Stop forgetting." By the time that sentence left his malicious mouth, Terasaka jumped, almost yelling out when you climbed above your desk to jump over Kirara and landed, swiping the bottle from his hand immediately and running off with it, the class heard a bang and Mr. Asano chuckled before retreating back to the main building.

--

Everyday the class walked past the locker; your locker, it had a huge dent in it- they had to get a crowbar to fix it.
