I'm trying to get used to writing on here... It's hard for me. I don't know how to do things and... Stuff. But I'm trying.Uh, enjoy...
"Nagisa!" I shouted as Nagisa was gracefully dodging.
"What is it?" he got closer to me.
"Can you try not to us others as shields?"
"... I don't use them as shields. They're just simply in front of me when the ball comes towards me." he crossed his arms.
"They're not just there. You u-"
Whack! A ball hit me on the cheek. Knocking me to the ground. Nagisa crouched down to my level as I clenched my cheek in pain.
"Now that's just Karma." Nagisa turned to see who threw the ball.
I used the remaining strength to see who it was.
Karma was standing there with wide eyes, stifling a laugh.
I hated him.
"Jesus f-ing christ!" I held my bandaged cheek.
Nagisa gasped for drama. "Have some class, Nakamura." Nagisa laughed.
"Shut up." I poked at my lunch.
"Listen to the shorty, Nakamura. You're always so slick out the mouth." Karma teased me.
I glared at him. "Shut. Up. You're the one who threw the ball, asshole."
He gasped. "Asshole? Me?"
I rolled my eyes as the rest laughed it all up.
'I'd punch him but Nagisa's opinion of me might go from terrible to demon'
"Nakamura, brighten up. We're only kidding." Nagisa laughed harder then he was before.
It was on the walk home when it happened. When they upped the teasing. I was so close to hurting them.
"Calm down, Nakamura." Karma said.
"Yeah, listen to him." Kayano said.
We stayed in silence. Until the bluenette decided to give me a comment.
"I just realized that you must like having balls in your face." he said before exploding into laughter along with the rest.
I lost it. Right away I turned around and punched him in the nose. But unlike the last years, where he would fall to the ground after a punch like that, he stayed standing.
He had a dark expression on is face as he removed his hand from over a now bloody nose.
Right away, his eyes landed on me. Nagisa's aura, look, and glare felt he was about ready to kill me. Something I hadn't felt from him before. It was chilling.
But instead, he smiled at me and everything was replaced by laughter.
"Ow, Nakamura. That really hurt." he said sarcastically. "I'm not sure if you've gotten weaker this year or if I got tougher, but that was nothing compared to what I have to deal with!"
Nagisa's laughter kept going as the rest just stared. Not sure of what.
Because he was bleeding and laughing?
Because he said 'have to'?
Because he was laughing at me?
Because he was more different then we thought?
Because we were starting to question his sanity?
No.
It was all of the above.
After all that, Nagisa went alone to his house. Even then we were still dumbfounded by what had happened.
"Um, guys," Kayano smiled. "Do you think Nagisa's been going through something? He did say 'That was nothing compared to what I have to deal with'."
Karma nodded. "Have to... Meaning that there's someone still hurting him..." he thought for a Moment. "... Probably at home."
We stayed silent.
"Well then, if he could take a punch like that, and it's involved with home..." Okuda pushed up her Glasses. "Physical abuse. Probably from a parent."
We looked at her.
"Uh! Bu-but how would I know?!" she panicked.
I placed my hand on her head. "Calm down, Okuda... But maybe you are right on that..."
Karma sat on a bench. "I used to be friends with him. Back in elementary."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"Nagisa told me that things were happening at home, and his parents were getting divorced and his mother was getting custody." he shrugged.
Kayano frowned. "Mothers." she sighed.
