#4. Karma
If it had happened to anyone else, she might have overlooked it. She might have even offered to help them up and would have made sure that they were okay. But of course it hadn't been just anyone. Lying on the ground before her was her pseudo archenemy. Pseudo in the sense that to everyone else she appeared to hate his guts but in reality, she really enjoyed every moment of sparring with him.
He had been walking toward her with that ever-present smirk on his face. She had scowled at him and opened her mouth to hurl some comment his way when all of a sudden he had tripped on some lose sidewalk. In a moment that she would cherish forever she had seen the look of surprise come across his face as he flailed his arms wildly and landed directly on his face.
She watched him turn over on his back and groan. The kind-hearted spirit inside of her became alarmed at this sound and she ran to him to make sure he was safe. However, upon reaching him she looked down into his face to see his wonderful blue eyes open and staring at her. It only took him a moment to remember just whom he had fallen in front of. As a look of pure horror came across his face, the devilish spirit that was inside her sprouted horns on top of her head and came alive.
Towering over him she grinned down at him, "Well this sure is a change."
"Shut it, Odango. I'm not in the mood for you right now." Shooting her a dirty look he sat up and rubbed his head.
Laughing she crouched down to eye level and looked him in the eye. "Now you know how I feel when it happens to me. Maybe this is a sign."
He arched a brow at her and asked, "What do you mean a sign?"
"I don't know, maybe that you should be nicer to me? You know what they say, what comes around goes around."
With that statement she gave him a dazzling smile and walked away, bouncing the whole way and humming a little song. Behind her, she left a man with a bruised ego and smile.
