Chapter 51: Solution Time

(Nakamura POV)

Hugging was against the rules? Dang it.


Man, if Asano-kun gets Karma suspended just for contact, I'm gonna be really mad. Not because I can't seem him, but because I don't want to get pushed around.

But then, Asano-kun started to laugh. His laugh was dark and filled with terror. It seemed cruel and I figured that's probably how his father laughs.

"Actually, I don't feel like talking to my father at the moment. You're off the hook this time Karma-kun." He said in a grim voice.

"Oh that's nice." Nagisa commented.

"Sooooo, if you're not going to report me, what are you doing here?" Karma asked quickly.

"Oh, I just need to do something." He replied slowly. Asano-kun was awfully close to me. There was an awkward pause, so I took out my phone to check the time. Right then, Asano-kun snatched the phone outta my hand and ran off in an instant.

"Asano-kun!" I shouted at him. "Come on guys, we gotta get after him!" Nagisa said, and soon he started to run off. And soon Karma followed suit, running right behind Nagisa.

I was the only one not running. Instead...

I was thinking...

Why did he take me phone? But screw thinking, he's gonna creep on my photos! GET AFTER HIM!


(Nagisa POV)

Damn, I never knew I was so fast, or I never knew that Asano-min was this slow. Did he only study or is PE the only subject he failed in? That may not be the case because when I turned to look behind me, I see Karma running a good distance away from me.

Man, I have gotten faster. Look at my short legs covering the distance. Maybe there is a benefit to being short after all.

But enough of that, I got a phone thief to catch! After running for a couple of minutes, I see Asano-kun ran around a corner. When I turned around, I didn't see him anywhere down the hallway. Is he elusive too? Did I lose him already? Dang it.

"Hey Nagisa, where did he go?" Karma finally caught up.

"I dunno, he disappeared." I shrugged.

"Where did that little shit go?" Nakamura came up after.

"Somewhere." I said.

Soon, we all saw a door open. It was on the side of the hallway, and out came Asano-kun.

He was waving the phone around slowly. "Nakamura-san, you need to explain the camera roll I just saw."

When I turned to look at Nakamura, she turned red and instantly ran over and grabbed the phone from him.

"That is none of your business." She said coldly.
