A/N: *cries river of tears* I just watched the most beautiful series of my life! It's called There She Is! And it's just so amazing, and it touched my heart, and I wanted to write a cute Karmanami story based on it!
I am rushing through this while the idea is still in my head, but this is only the prologue :P so maybe I'll delete this after chapter 1 is up. Anyway, please review and let me know what you think of it?
You Can't Love Me!
Prologue
Every school has its rules. There's one rule that two particular schools have kept for years.
No students from Kunugigaoka or Teishuku Academy are allowed to date a member of the opposite school.
It's an unspoken and unofficial rule made by both student bodies, as there has always been some major rivalry which is never talked about.
But there is one devilish red-head who just doesn't care about the rules. Especially not right now.
He had been walking out of a convenience store when a short girl with dark hair braided into two parts ran head first into him, causing him to drop his juice box upon impact with the girl.
He stood their, shocked, as he saw the girl rub her head, wincing. "Oww~"
He would have just gone on his way again without a fuss, but this girl caught his interest.
She was wearing a pure white sailor uniform underneath a white lab coat, which had a small silver broach shaped like the lotus flower pinned to it.
Teishuku Academy's school emblem.
"I-I am so sorry!" The girl bowed to him, speaking hurriedly. "U-um, here!" She picked up the juice box and held it out to him, violet eyes staring up at him behind dark lashes, and eye glasses worriedly. She could tell from the solid grey uniform the red head was wearing that he was from Kunugigaoka. If she wanted to live, it would be in her best interest to not make him angry, she thought.
He took the juice box from her hands, noticing how much smaller her hands were than his, as his fingers brushed against hers. "Thanks..."
The girl bowed to him again before running past him and into the convenience store. He turned his head, looking after her, bewildered, his mind had gone numb as he was still trying to take in what had happened.
It shouldn't have been a big deal to him, he's run into people plenty of times before. He never remembered the faces of those whom he had previously run into, but for some reason, he couldn't - he didn't want to forget hers.
So when she came back out of the store, plastic bag in hand, he called out to her.
"Hey you, what's your name?"
She stared at him, clutching the bag close to her she answered, "It-it, um, my name is Okuda Manami. What's your name?"
"Karma."
"Nice, nice to meet you Karma-kun."
She smiled at him before walking past him.
He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that he might not be able to ever see her again if he left things like this. Without much hesitation on his part, he called after her, "Do you want to go out with me?"
"Eh?" Okuda turned around to face him, frowning. "Um, I'm sorry Karma-kun but..."
He felt his heart sink as he predicted that she'd probably bring up the specific rule between their schools.
"You, you can't love me!" She yelled, running away.
Her words echoed in his head even after she had disappeared out of sight, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"That was interesting," He smiled. "But she didn't exactly say no."
