HI (｡´∀｀)ﾉ

*Another warning: Collection of connected one-shots not in order.

For being Mano Okuda befriending with Karmen Akabane.

For him it's been the most problematic week happening to the poor guy.

The next day after they became 'friends.'

Karmen already started two fights in that second day, got caught by the teacher and dragged Mano into her mess and he was able to get both of them off the hook, made his female friend apologize to the victims of her bashing, and ended up having both of them be feared by some of their schoolmates.

"Why do you keep doing that?" Mano groan in exhaustion for trying to hold the girl's fist back. He practically crash into his seat.

"It's not my fault their being a bunch of assholes." She talk back as they both took a seat near the corner during homeroom. She took a seat in front of him. "They ask for it when they gave me the freakin stink eye."

"If you apologized to them for bumping into their shoulders, we wouldn't be in that mess. Also your choice of words really set them off..."

"Thanks for getting us out of that situation with the teacher, right?" Smiling deviously as she talk about the good news out of all that mess. Completely ignoring him suggestions.

This cause the boy to sigh. "Yeah..." He replied sarcastically. "Can you please try to be nice, saying sorry for the little things instead of making a big commotion than what it really should. That could really help."

"Then how else can I let steam out?"

'Steam?! You gain that by just not apologizing?!' He mentally screaming at her but only for him to hear.

His thoughts on the girl

'She the craziest person I've have ever met! Abusive replace social, uses bronze over brain (hopefully not), and social skill way worst than mine! Maybe I should work on my social skills and make some other friends...'

Then when he unconsciously stared at the girl.

'Then again, it only been the second day. She could be nice once I get to know her.'

"Why you staring at me?" Karmen ask with narrowed eyes.

"A-Ah! It's nothing at all!" He flustered and putting his arm up in defense.

"Calm down," Giggling at the boy's random actions. "I was just asking a question. And you tell me I make a big commotion."

"B-be quiet..."

Karmen already had her first impression on her classmate and friend.

In the beginning of their school year. She already made a reputation for herself that she was unaware of.

It wasn't a good reputation she created.

Putting a bully in his place when he was harassing a couple of school girls. She succeeded in beating the bully til he passed out.

It was a success, but the aftermath didn't turn out what she have wanted. Later, more fights and rematches were being asked for.

She also thought she was better off alone since no one would even come a couple feet near her without shaking and running away.

Even so, she still wanted someone she could talk to in her class so she wouldn't be bored.

"Okuda!" She was bored and decided to look for someone in her class that goes by that name.

"Y-yes!" The boy reveal himself to be tall with his back straight against the chair like the average other guys in her class. With ruffle black hair and glasses in front of violet eyes.

'He looks so...plain. Not to mention a nervous wreck.' She added when it obvious to see the boy was vibrating like a phone.

"Think you can help us with this problem?" A small group of student were stuck on a problem on the material they been learning on for a while.

"S-sure thing." Okuda muster a yes and got up to join the group.

'They don't look like friends.'

"It's this problem here."

"Oh that's one really hard! I had trouble with this one too, but I think I can help you with this." Mano manner change like a switch as if he could easily blend in with the group. This caught her attention of how fast his facade change in an instant.

Mano was able to teach his group with simple words. Writing out the problem in a simpler equation. He held a calm face that use to be so wavering and a little smile was discovered as he explain the method in solving it.

And Karmen watch secretly amazed of the sudden change.

"Oh I get it now!"

"Me too! And the next problem should have the same method here!"

And next came the ravenette revert back to his nervous self, but he wasn't shaking but blushing himself for being deep into solving the math problems.

"R-r-really? Did this help at all?!" He nervously ask as he look down on his own paper than meeting the group's eyes.

"Yeah it really did. Thanks Okuda!"

"You should be a teacher! You explain the learning method way better than our actual teacher."

And unexpectedly he reveal a open mouth smile as the blush was still showing up on his cheek and letting out a weak laugh.

"I-is that s-so...?"

Karmen was watching the whole time, witnessing the boy's two different side of himself.

And she thought about the boy:

'He looks really plain, some what of an introvert, and have a surprising way of teaching. And he's kinda cute...'

She stop herself thinking and turn away as if anyone was watching her.

And so that was her final impression on the raven hair guy til she really got to know him.

Yeah... This is a pretty short one compare to the previous chapter.

But I hope you guys like this one!

That's all and see ya next time! Also...

HAPPY HOLIDAY EVERYONE!(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧
