Nagisa's POV

"Ow, ow..." Arisa-chan says as she held her head.

"Arisa-chan!" I said as I went down the stairs with Chiyuki-chan and Sasahara-kun.

We bent down at her.

"How did you even fall?" Sasahara-kun said.

"I don't know!" Arisa-chan said. "Maybe there wan an invisible banana peel or something..." She joked.

Chiyuki-chan said, "Can banana peels really make you slip...?"

"Anyway, we should get you to the nurse's office." I said. "Your knees are red. Let me help you treat it."

"Okay!" Arisa-chan said as she got up. "Whoa, it stings.."

The injury wasn't too bad, so she could still walk.

We reached the nurse's office.

The four of us went inside to find no nurse. "She may be taking her break." Sasahara-kun said.

Arisa-chan sat down on a chair and I grabbed some bandages.

"Did you slip and fall?" A familiar voice said from behind me.

"Uwah!!" Arisa-chan and Chiyuki-chan screamed.

I sighed. "What are you doing here..." I turned my head, "Karma?"

I saw a familiar red head smiling at me. "I decided to skip." He answered plainly.

"Go back, Karma.. You're going to be in trouble." I said. "I bet Hasegawa-kun and Hirose-kun are worried about you."

"Those guys? Nah, they know I'm here." He said.

"You sure are a rebel!" Sasahara-kun said. "Since you're here, wanna join us for lunch?"

I turned to him, "Eh?"

"Sure!" Karma replied.

"Wha..." I turned to Sasahara-kun. "But-"

"Yeah, come and eat with us, Akabane-kun!" Arisa-chan said.

I sweat dropped. "Ehh..."

I sighed, and then gave in. "Okay, you can eat with us. Wait, do you even have lunch?" I asked.

"Nope." Karma said as he smiled.

I sighed again. "Okay. Let me treat Arisa-chan first, and then we can buy you lunch."

I thought again, "On second thought, you can have my bento."

He looked at me, "What, no! You can eat that."

"It's okay. I'm not hungry anyway." I answered.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. I'll just buy an onigiri or something."

"Are you really sure?" He asked again.

"Really sure."

"Really, really, really sure?"

"Take it or leave it." I said.

"Okay, I'll take it, I'll take it!" He then hugged me and rubbed his face against mine. "Thanks, Nagisa~"

I blushed, seeing Arisa-chan and Sasahara-kun smirk. Chiyuki-chan blushed and covered her face a bit.

"O-okay.. You go on ahead to the roof with the others. I'm gonna buy my milk." I said.

"Okay." Karma removed his arms around me.

"I'll stay with Nagisa-chan." Arisa-chan smiled at me.

"E-eh!?" Chiyuki-chan exclaimed.

I gave Sasahara-kun the key to the roof.

Karma, along with Chiyuki-chan and Sasahara-kun went ahead to the roof. I hope no one sees Karma..

I then started treating Arisa-chan's knees.

She said, "Do you think Yuki-chan'll be alright being the only girl?" She asked with a smile.

"She'll be fine." I said. "I think she's becoming more and more social lately."

After I treated her scratches, we went to the cafeteria.

I bought an onigiri.

I went to the vending machine. I inserted my money in.

I pressed the vanilla milk button. Beside it, I saw strawberry milk. I decided to press that too.

"Is that for Akabane-kun?" Arisa-chan asked.

"Yeah."

"I didn't expect a guy like him to like strawberry milk!" She joked.

I laughed, "That's what I thought at first, too."

I looked at her, "Do you want anything?"

"No, I'm good." She waved her hands at me.

We then went to the roof, where the others are.

"Heey!" Arisa-chan shouted at the group as she swung the door open.

"Hey!" Sasahara-kun screamed back at us.

They were sitting on the edge, eating. We walked towards them and sat down.

I gave Karma his strawberry milk.

"Ah, thanks!" He smiled widely. Karma absolutely loves these things. "Thanks again for the bento!"

"Yeah." I sat down and began eating my onigiri. Karma also continued eating my bento.

The five of us continued eating. We talked about random things as we enjoyed our meals.

"You need to get back after this, Karma." I said.

"Eh... But I'm sleepy!" He whined.

"That's not an excuse, Karma." I sighed.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Yamaguchi-kun walked in, looking at us. "There you are." He said. He walked towards us.

He said to me, "There's some trouble down there, Shiota-san. We need to resolve it."

"What about the others?" I asked him.

"They're all busy." He said while putting his hand on his hip. "Apparently we're the closest ones."

I got up. "Okay." I turned to the group, "Sorry, but I have to go ahead."

"It's okay!" Arisa-chan said.

"Being a student council sure is busy..." Sasahara-kun said.

"Th-they kinda sound more like secret agents on a mission than student councils..." Chiyuki-chan followed.

I said goodbye to them and turned my body. "Let's go, Yamaguchi-kun." I started walking towards the door.

Karma's POV

The blonde guy looked at me weirdly.

"You're not from this school." He said as he looked at me.

I smiled. "Yeah, that's right."

The other three looked at us, feeling the tension rise.

"Yamaguchi-kun, what's wrong?" Nagisa called him from the door.

He turned his head towards her and then back at me. "If you have no business here, go back." He turned and then left with Nagisa.

"Sorry about that." Sasahara said after the door closed completely. "That was Yamaguchi, the student council of our class with Shiota-san."

Tanaka said, "He can be quite cold."

I said, "Well, I don't really care. Despite the fact that he just took Nagisa away."

"H-he said there was trouble..." Shiraishi said.

"Nagisa can easily deal with it." I looked at the small milk box in my hands. I took a sip of it.

...

It still tastes the same.
