Chapter 6
Beginning of Lies
Karma knew that there are a lot of benches near the assembly hall so he quickly stood up from the spot where he is seating and started looking for his beloved bluenette. He roamed around but he couldn't find his best friend.
"Where the hell is she?" He asked himself and took out his phone to check if Nagisa texted him. But he found nothing. He run around to check once more but all he could find is his classmates. Nagisa was still not with them so he asked them if they saw her.
"Oh I saw Nagisa-chan near the vendo machine. Maybe she's parched and decided to buy a drink while waiting for us." Fuwa said while pointing. Karma thanked the girl and run towards Nagisa's location. The next scene made his blood boil. He finally spotted Nagisa but she was with someone. She was with his archival: Asano Gakushuu!
Not only their distance that makes Karma's chest heavy but also their position! The strawberry blond bastard was holding Nagisa's hand with with one hand while the other is on her chin! How long have they been in that position? Without thinking, Karma marched towards them and snatched Nagisa away from Asano.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" The red head shouted as he pulled the blunette. He was so angry that he did not notice that he was putting too much force on the girl. Nagisa snapped from her thoughts and found herself against her best friend's chest. Karma's arms were protectively wrapped around her. She could instantly feel his overflowing bloodlust. She could sense trouble in the atmosphere.
'Oh no! Karma saw me and Asano together!' She could feel her heart might come on from her chest anytime soon.
"You should not pull a lady like that Akabane! She can get hurt from your rough actions!" Asano growled. He tried to pull Nagisa away from Karma but the red head slapped his hand away. Karma doesn't want any other man to touch her but him alone. Now Nagisa could feel the other man's bloodlust. She could not think properly because of the current situation.
"Don't tell me what to do and what not to do Mr. Chairman's son. Answer my question blondie!" He hissed as his embrace tightened. Nagisa's heart was racing.
'What if Asano-kun admits that we are now engaged! This is terrible! I must do something! But what?' She was really panicking.
"What is your problem Akabane? I was just checking if Nagisa is alright. I heard she was absent yesterday." Asano tried to remain calm even though he really want to punch Karma for being so harsh on Nagisa.
'Since when I've become so protective over a girl?' He realized. Before he only cared for himself and himself alone. He may fake his empathy towards others but deep inside he doesn't really care. This is something new to the young man.
"Wow I never thought it is your job to check the attendance of students. Who do you think you are? Our homeroom teacher." The red head mocked. He really wanted to slam the blond's face against a wall but since Nagisa is here, he'll just piss off the young man. He knows that he is doing a good job because Asano's bloodlust shows.
'Come on Mr. Perfect. Show your true color.' He smirked.
"Yes it is not my duty to check her attendance. But as the student council president it is my responsibility to make sure that the students are in good condition. I heard that Shiota-san was absent because she was sick. You should not treat her like that." Asano managed to answer Karma without showing that he is really annoyed. The red head retained his smirk.
"Thank you so much for teaching me good manners Mr. Rank 2" he replied emphasizing on the last part. That statement broke Asano's guard. Karma really knows how to make him feel inferior, just like his father. The young man gritted his teeth as the red head's smirk grew wider
'Let's see if you can still smirk like that once you found out that your best friend is my fiancée.' He thought and smirked as well. Nagisa seemed to read his thoughts and quickly pulled herself away from Karma's arms.
"Could you please two stop it! Karma please stop intimidating Asano-kun! He was just concern about me!" She shouted and positioned in between the two males. But it looks like she was defending Asano which made Karma's bloodlust rose more.
"Concern? Why on earth would he be concerned about you?" He answered the bluenette. Nagisa backed off a bit but quickly thought of a reply.
"B-because someone tried to bully me! T-that's right! Asano-kun defended me from them!" She is not a good liar but she silently prayed that Karma will believe her. Without waiting for the red hair's reaction, she turned to Asano who was now confused and bowed in apology.
"Please forgive Karma for his behavior and I would like to thank you for saving me." She said. Nagisa lifted her head a bit so that Asano can see her face.
Asano was confused why Nagisa said that to Karma.
'Why did she lie?' He thought. He was even more surprised when Nagisa bowed to him. Then the bluenette lifted her head and looked into his eyes. He felt like she was talking to her through her beautiful blue eyes. They were like pleading, begging him to play along. He paused a bit to allow himself to think.
'This is the perfect opportunity to break Akabane down! If I tell him now he'll be gone for good!' His brain reminded him. That is what he wants but his chest felt uncomfortable. It's like opposing his plan. He glanced once more on Nagisa's face who looked like she was about to cry at any point. He had finally decided his next action.
"No harm done so it's alright Shiota-san. Just be careful next time okay?" He forced a smile. He wanted to hit himself for wasting such a great opportunity but he did not want Nagisa to be upset.
Nagisa's face brightened and signed in relief.
"Yes I will Asano-kun, thank you again." She said and went Karma's side then pulled the young man away. Asano just stared at the two as they walk away from him.
He was about to leave too but Nagisa's head turned to him and mouthed a 'thank you' followed by a very sweet smile. Asano's heart stopped for a second. All his regrets were washed away by the bluenette's smile. He felt, wonderful. He went back to his own classroom as always but there was something different in him: He was smiling.
Nagisa quickly drag Karma away from Asano as fast as she could. She thank God for letting Asano to play along with her lie. She shivered at the thought: It was her first time to lie her best friend! She felt guilty and it really bothers her but she convinced herself that it is for Karma's own good. She hoped.
Karma stopped walking making her stop as well.
"Why were you even alone in the first place? You know that our class is mistreated in this campus!" Karma said while restraining his own emotions. He was furious! Not to Nagisa but to himself! He felt useless again! He was not there to protect her and worst his rival was the one who stood up for her!
"I'm so sorry Karma! Sugino went to his baseball friends and Kayano asked me to go with her to the library but I refused. I wanted to buy us some drinks that's why I went to the vendo machine. Please forgive me Karma!" She hugged the red head and sobbed. She was telling the truth and lying at the same time. The story about their classmates and the vendo machine was true but her apology is not for that reason. She is apologizing indirectly for lying to her best friend.
Karma felt her guilt and embraced the bluenette. He doesn't want Nagisa to feel something like this. He doesn't want the girl he loves the most to cry because of him.
"Shhh, it's alright. I'm sorry too for overeacting and for intimidating Asano. I'll make it up to you okay?" He patted the girls head and smiled. She hugged him tighter. He sighed and rested his head on the her head.
Suddenly they heard cameras clicking. They released each other and saw their classmates with teasing smiles.
"You two love birds can continue your romantic scene later once we returned to the classroom." Rio teased and took another photo. Everybody laughed making the two embarrassed. Their faces were bright red.
"R-rio-chan! Erase the pictures!" Nagisa tried to catch Rio but she quickly ran away. Karasuma-sensei and Bitch-sensei appeared and ordered them to go back to their classroom. Nagisa was catching her breath when Karma rested his arm on her shoulders. She smiled at him and started their journey. While walking she handed him the strawberry milk carton and drank her blueberry yogurt drink. The two drank their drinks while going back to their classroom.
~At Asano Gakuho's office ~
The Chairman was facing the window again when the younger Asano came in.
"That was one scene you three made there. Good thing no one saw it Asano-kun." Chairman Gakuho started.
"It was just a misunderstanding Chairman. Akabane was just being protective that's all." He formally explained. His father turned to him and looked into his amethyst eyes.
"Misunderstanding? Does Akabane-kun know your relationship with Shiota-san?" He questioned but Asano can tell that his father already knows the answer. He knows everything, even the Class 3E's secret.
"No Chairman." He replied. Gakuho raised an eyebrow and sat on his swivel chair.
"I see, when will you spill it? When Shiota-san manages to break the engagement?" His voice was filled with sarcasm. Gakushuu really hates it when his father treats him like he is some ignorant creature.
"I have my plans Chairman. I'll make Shiota-san mine and destroy Akabane in the process. In fact Shiota-san was the one who lied to Akabane about our status. The more lies she tell to him, the more pain it will cause him once he found out everything." He smirked as he imagined how will Karma will react to Nagisa's lies.
The Chairman understood his plan and smirked like a devil.
"That sounds interesting. Do what you want Asano-kun. I just want the Takahashi group to sign the partnership." After that he dismissed the younger Asano. The strawberry blond boy went out with a dangerously confident smirk on his face.
'You're messing with the wrong person Akabane. I'll crush you and take everything that you adore.' He promised and went back to Class 3A.
The next morning Nagisa received a text from Karma saying that he'll meet her at the train station.
'This is new. Usually I'm the one who text or call him to meet me at the station.' She thought and did her morning routines. After making sure that everything was turned off she went outside and locked their door. She was about to go out but she saw limousine in front of their gate. She went closer and the door opened revealing Asano Gakushu. Her eyes widened.
"Good morning Shiota-san." He greeted her. She nervously smiled at the young man.
"Good morning to you too Asano-kun. Why are here this early?" She asked him.
"I came here to escort you to school. I don't want my fiancée to just take the train and walk." He replied.
'Eeeehhhh? Escort me to school?' Nagisa screamed mentally. This is the first time that a guy volunteered himself to escort her. Yes Karma and Sugino walks her home but they are her friends. Asano is different, he is not her classmate and definitely they are not friends. She felt a little uncomfortable.
"Uhm thank you for the offer but I already promised that I will meet Karma at the train station." She said. Asano's blood boiled up upon hearing the red head's name.
'She rejected me for that low life creature? Does she know how many women are begging me to escort them?' He felt his pride was wounded. It was his first time to be rejected by a girl, most of the time he was the one rejecting them. And on top of it he prepared extra early just to male sure that he can make it before the girl goes to schools. That was too much effort for someone like him. But of course he hid his irritation from her.
"I understand, how about tomorrow? I'll call your mother to ask for her permission as well." He gently replied. Nagisa flinched a bit. He knows that she can't say no once her mother ordered her. He assumed that Nagisa is just a very obedient daughter and he'll use that obedience for his own advantage.
'Y-yeah sure. Tomorrow then. Thank you Asano-kun." She said and quickly dismissed herself from the awkward situation. But Nagisa noticed something from the young man.
'His skin is a bit pale that usual.' She thought and went on.
Asano went back inside the car and instructed the chauffeur to go straight to school. He spent the whole trip thinking of ways to make the bluenette fall for his charms.
Karma was already there when Nagisa arrived. The red head was there for almost an hour. He woke up early too and texted the girl to meet him. He said that he'll make it up to her so he's starting today. He'll make sure that he will protect Nagisa at all times.
"Good morning Shorty!" He greeted her. Nagisa was catching her breath because she ran her way to the station. She doesn't want to be late.
"G-good morning to you too Karma." She took a deep breath. There was something wrong with her that Karma couldn't figure out.
"Wow you're a little late than usual. What happened?" He asked. Nagisa quickly panicked and thought of an alibi for being late. She can't admit that Asano came to her house and offered to escort her to school. She is not yet ready to reveal everything to him.
"I-I just overslept. It was a bit colder this morning so I kinda slept a little longer." She chuckled nervously. Another lie. Karma wanted to ask her more but the train arrived and he forgotten to ask her. Nagisa was again relieved that Karma did not question any further but she felt really guilty for lying to him. What bothers her the most is that she knows that this just the beginning and she will tell a lot more lies in the upcoming days.
'I hope Karma will forgive me.' She silently prayed.
