Okuda Manami was in the Chemistry Lab when one of the teachers barged in.
"Okuda-kun, Its already late. You can finish that tomorrow." Hinata-sensei said to her. A middle aged woman who's in charge in chemistry and biology.
Manami nodded indicating that she will do as the teacher says. She started to carefully arranged the chemicals that surrounds her not wanting it to spill. The teacher helped her out to finish cleaning up faster.
When she was done, Manami walked her way to their classroom where she left her bag.
When she was out of the high school building and was near the gate, someone stop her tracks. A familiar person to begin with.
They chatted a little. When he was about to leave he gave her two tickets without explaining further details, he walked away.
"Cultural Festival? Maid...cafe?" Manami asked to nobody.
It was a busy day at Kunugigaoka High. Stalls were lined up from the big gates through the main building.
Since this is a prestigious high school, outsiders can't get in so easily. They must show to the guard that they have a ticket coming from one of the students there.
Though Manami got inside easily.
It was like a normal cultural fest. Even though those two are studying here she expected it to be more extravagant.
She looked at the other ticket she was holding. She examined it for the hundredth time that week. She then walked to the some stalls where Kunugigaoka Highschool students were, and she then proceeded to ask some questions where to find the place.
"Thank you for coming Okuda Manami-san." He said as he gave him his famous angelic smile.
"You don't have to be so formal, Asano-kun. Okuda is fine with me."
That probably caught you all off guard. It was no other than Asano Gakushuu who invited Manami to the so called Cultural Festival.
"I presume that you took care of the other ticket I gave you." He said as he turned his back on her and opened the sliding door of their classroom.
"A Maid cafe? I was really expecting over-the-charts booth from his class, especially heis pretty rich."
Manami thought to herself still confused why the Great Asano Gakushuu would run a maid cafe in his class.
As soon as Manami got inside her body froze and had her eyes widen.
"Before you could even ask lets go to the VIP seats at the back. Coz you're a VIP yourself." Asano stopped Manami from even asking, he then grabbed her wrist and walked to the back where a black curtain divides the VIP section to the regular ones.
Without further delay the two were already in front of the said curtain.
As soon as Asano slid the black curtain to the side every sound in the room was enveloped with silence.
Everyone saw him for the first time that day. And they were shocked to see what is in front of them. More like who is in front of them.
Asano had a mischievous smile crept on his lips.
"O-o-okuda?!" Was all he could say.
While the bespectacled girl was dumbfounded whatever her eyes is seeing.
Asano coughed indicating that whatever the boy in front of them had done something wrong.
Karma pulled the shocked girl while Asano slid the curtain to cover the VIP section.
"I think you're forgetting something. Akabane." Asano smirked at him as the latter just blushed at the thought of greeting her thatway.
"IswearI'mgonnacomeback atyouduringthefinals." Karma mumbled out quietly.
"Oh my, were you saying something Akabane-san?" Asano mocked Karma having fun of the situation.
Though even the two geniuses were mocking each other, the poison glasses girl still stood there dumbfounded that the situation doesn't sink in her mind.
And finally Karma gave his attention to the girl.
He breathed out and in some air to relax. But the moment he said his line his whole face including his ears and neck became the same color as his hair.
"Welcome Manami-sama...H-how canI-iserveyoufortoday?"
His voice was trembling and low as he made it sound more feminine. From the start he kept averting his gaze from Manami knowing how embarrassing this would turn out.
"Oooh! Say that one more time Akabane! Okuda-san wanted to hear it again!" Asano said amused that Karma really saidit. But in reality he just wanted to take a video of it and use it as a blackmail material.
"Eh? Eeeeeeeeeehhh?! K-k-karma-kun i-in m-maid costume?!" And that was the exact time when everything that was happening in her surroundings sunk in her brain.
The reason why Manami's body froze and had her eyes widen the moment Asano opened the door of their classroom was because guys are the ones who were dressed up as maids.
And why all of a sudden the whole room become quiet after Asano slid it to the side, was because nobody expected Akabane Karma to wear it.
Not long after, Okuda Manami suddenly lost energy and fainted.
"da...kuda...Okuda-san. You need to wake up." A gentle voice was echoing in a room.
Manami started to open her eyes only to see Karma in his usual black cardigan and polo attire.
She sat up holding her forehead.
"What happened...?" She breathe out her question.
"Well, you fainted. And you were out cold the whole day."
Whole day...
Whole day...
"I was freaking out cold for a whole day!"
The twin braided girl examined his sentence and regretted that she even fainted.
It was a once in a lifetime event to see Akabane Karma flustered while wearing a cute maid costume. And she just fainted after he greeted her!
The petite girl's body started to tremble. She hold back the tears from falling. Such opportunity shall never be waisted!
This made the redhead confused.
"Okuda-san? You okay?" He asked not being sure either.
"Y-yes, I'm fine. Can I ask something?" The science lover asked innocently.
The boy just nodded.
"Why is Asano-kun is the only one who didn't wear a maid costume and why did you wear one in the first place?"
Karma did a weak karate chop on Manami's head.
Karma lay his back at the chair he's sitting on with his hands in his pocket.
Manami held her head and squirm a little. Even though it's just a weak karate chop it still hurt a little bit.
"As if he'd wear one. And I got a lower score during mid terms then he somehow blackmailed me, which I wont tell you how."
Manami gave him a small smile. She was surprised to know that there was a way to blackmail Karma.
The red head gave back the favor by also smiling at her. A moment later they were both started to laugh at nothing.
Manami even forgot that she was supposed to be depressed about fainting after being greeted by Karma.
Karma insisted on walking the twin braided girl home. First, because it's late. Two, he somehow felt guilty because he's basically the reason why the girl was out cold for a whole day.
When the two bid their good byes and Karma was out of Manami's sight,
Before Manami could even open their house' gate, suddenly Manami felt her phone vibrated in her pocket.
"Since you were out cold the whole day, and didn't experience our booth's VIP service. Here are some secret service for you. Enjoy."
For a moment Manami thought that the message was send to her mistakenly. But after she saw the picture and a voice record attached to the message her eyes widen and her face flushed
Her phone vibrated again indicating that she received another message.
"That was taken when we were forcing him to wear it. Don't worry, he doesn't know anything about this. "
She then tapped the voice record and listened to it.
"Welcome Manami-sama...H-how can I-i serve you for today?"
If possible, Manami's face become "redder" after she listened to Karma's voice.
"T-this is probably Asano-kun..." She said pertaining to the sender of the messages and pictures.
When Manami noticed she was standing at their gate for a long time she then proceeded to go inside the house.
The day ended with Manami kept playing the voice record all night until she fell asleep. And as for Karma he is probably traumatized of the thought of wearing a maid costume. Talk about embarrassing.
Of course we cant forget about Asano right? He well...um... Had more plans up his sleeves on traumatizing Karma by doing embarrassing stuffs, and also... He had another blackmail material which is Karma's stolen photo while changing.
In the wattpad version, I posted a picture of Karma in a maid outfit. So if you're curios on what he looked like, I say you can take a look (on waqttpad).
