A/N : Sorry for very long update (please blame the exams), and happy new year all! (Wait, it's January 4, oh well I wrote this at January 1) I almost forgot about this story lol, but since there are some people who like this story, I think I'll try to remember it again. So, let's just begin!
Kayano's POV
Yesterday, the students were very strange. Perhaps they had been planning something and tried to hide it from me. I don't know why, but thinking about it made me can't sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I yawned and immediately got out of my bed. I took my school uniform and went to the bathroom. As I looked myself in the mirror, I saw eye bags under my eyes. Uh, I really couldn't sleep tonight.
I began washing my face first, then took a shower. After that, I changed my clothes and went out to go to the school.
Arriving at school, everyone greeted me as usual. They didn't look strange at all. It made me confused, but then I decided not to think about it anymore.
When I walked into my classroom, Class 3E, which was located at the corner of the hallway, I immediately went to my seat. After sitting down on my chair, Karma-kun walked up to me while smirking.
'Karma-kun doesn't usually come near me like this. He's not really my best friend.'
"Are you free this Sunday?", he asked me while standing next to me, putting his hands in his pockets.
"Huh...?", I asked back in confusion.
He then took out something from one of his pockets of his pants, then showed that to me. It was two amusement park's tickets.
"I've got two tickets to amusement park. You must go with Nagisa-kun," he demanded.
"Eh?! Why?", I shouted, making all students look at us.
But, it seemed Karma-kun didn't care about that. He was still smirking and just continued his words, "Or else..." He didn't reply to my question, instead he showed something else to me. Seeing what he was holding, I widened my eyes.
There, he was holding a photo of me, eating a pudding with weird face. Just looking at that photo made me embarrassed.
'S-Since when he took that photo?!'
"G-Give me that!", I shouted again with red face.
I tried to take it, but I couldn't because Karma-kun was taller than me, and the second reason why I couldn't take it was that he raised it easily above my head. That time, somehow I wanted to be taller. It wasn't good to be the shortest in the class.
"Not until you agree to do this~", he said in sing-song tone. I didn't reply to Karma-kun's words because it was troublesome to deal with him, so I was forced to do so.
I let out a sigh. "Okay. But, Karma-kun, please give me that photo first."
Instead of giving the photo, he just gave the tickets to me. Before I could complain to him about why he didn't give me the photo, Karma-kun had already walked away from me, saying, "I won't give you the photo, until you fulfill your promise. Oh, and enjoy your date~" He turned his head and took a glance at me a bit while still smirking.
My face started to become red.
'D-D-Date?! W-What does he mean by that?!'
I realized all the students had been watching at us, so I tried to quickly regained my composure. It was quite easy for me to change my expressions because I was an actress. But, deep inside my heart, I was so nervous that I thought my heart would explode.
I had been thinking about the date. But then, I remembered another strange thing. I began thinking about 'that strange thing', Karma-kun.
'Karma-kun rarely does something like tease me like that. I know the students were planning something without my knowledge.. I'm curious.'
Karma-kun walked back to his seat. As he was just about to sit, the students dragged him out of the classroom. Kayano, who saw that, looking at them in confusion. Then, she was just noticed that Nagisa -who had been watching the scenes while standing in front of the classroom- was being dragged as well.
The students closed the door, then commented about what was just happened in the classroom awhile ago, until Nagisa finally spoke to Karma.
"Karma-kun! Why did you do that?", Nagisa asked, worried about Kayano.
"Yeah, you've never done that to her before. Kayano isn't your usual prank target. You usually tease Nagisa," Sugino stated.
The other students nodded their head in agreement.
"I just want to help Nagisa-kun," Karma answered casually.
"But, don't be too pushy!", the students shouted, protesting at him.
The students kept on protesting, while Nagisa was just standing there, watching them in silence. Nagisa smiled, thinking that he had a lot of good friends around him.
*Time skips to Sunday*
Kayano's POV
"I couldn't sleep tonight...", I mumbled to myself.
I had been thinking about the 'date' since yesterday and what should I wear for this day because I've never been in a date before. It was my first date.
So, I decided to wear a cute outfit. I wore a white shirt with laces at the bottom and also decorated with big ribbon on the middle of my chest and a pink cardigan with long sleeves, then I wore a tufted white mini-skirt, and I let my hair down as well. Wearing this while waiting someone on the side of street, somehow it made me a bit nervous.
'B-But, is it really a date? Karma-kun just told me and I was forced to do so. I was surprised when I knew Nagisa agreed to him about going to the amusement park.'
While waiting for Nagisa and thinking about that, I suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind.
"Kayano?"
I jolted up hearing that, then turned around to face him. Nagisa was wearing his usual outfit. No, definitely it wasn't his uniform, I meant he wore clothes that are usually teenagers wear.
After calling me, Nagisa stood there and went silent all of sudden. I tilted my head seeing that.
"... Nagisa?", I asked him while waving my hand right in front of his face.
Nagisa snapped out of his reverie, and quickly replied nervously, "Ah, sorry... I was thinking that you look beautiful today."
Blushes spreaded around my face hearing that. Not knowing what I had to say at time like this, I looked away from him and began walking.
"L-Let's go."
"Wah, so crowded!", I said with happy tone while watching people walk around.
"It's Sunday after all," Nagisa smiled.
I looked at him. "So, what should we ride first?"
"Umm...", Nagisa started thinking, then said that it was up to me.
"Then... How about jet coaster!", I shouted happily.
"Sounds good," Nagisa replied with a gentle smile again. Somehow, seeing that, it made my face become redder for a bit.
I enjoyed the roller coaster so much that I wanted to ride it again and again. But, since Nagisa looked like almost to vomit because we had ridden it about five times, we decided to rest for awhile.
"Sorry, Kayano. I think I'll be better for a minute," Nagisa said while laying down on the bench.
"No one can be better for just a minute. I'll get a drink for you. I'll be back," saying that with a smile, I left him and went to the vending machine.
I looked at the drinks, thinking about what Nagisa could possibly want. 'I should have asked him first about the drink he wants...'
I decided to choose pocari sweat and immediately went back to see him.
As I carried it in my right hand, I noticed Nagisa who was now sitting on the bench. I ran up to him, asking, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Yes, thank you, Kayano," he replied with his usual kind smile, then took the pocari sweat from my hand, drinking it.
After drinking it, Nagisa threw it into the trash can. Just before we decided to continue, he asked me why I didn't drink something and I answered him that I wasn't thirsty.
After that, we decided to go to the haunted house. I was sure that it wouldn't be too scary there, so I chose to go there. But, I was wrong. When I saw a girl with blood on her white dress and her hair covered her whole face, standing right in front of me, I screamed and unconsciously I held something very tightly.
"Umm... Kayano...?"
When I opened my eyes again, slowly, I looked up to see Nagisa's blushing face. Then, I looked at where my hands were holding. It turns out I was holding his right arm! I was so embarrassed so that I began to let go of my hands.
"S-Sorry!", I stuttered.
Hearing my sudden apologize, Nagisa widened his eyes, then it seemed like he was thinking about something. I couldn't guess what though.
'Why was I scared to see that white girl? She wasn't too scary and Nagisa must have thought that I was a coward.'
After a few seconds of walking in the middle of darkness, he finally let out his voice. "You can hold onto me if you're scared."
I was shocked and quickly looked up at his face. He didn't look back at me and just awkwardly looked to the front. I couldn't quite see his face now, but I guess his face was red?
"I-I'm fi-"
I couldn't even finish my words because he suddenly held my hand. My face started burning up when he did that. I didn't know his face was red too or not since I was too embarrassed to look at his face.
"If you don't want to hold onto me, then I just have to hold your hands so you can feel better."
I stayed silent and obeyed his words, replying him by nodding my head. After that, we kept on walking like that for a few minutes until we went outside.
The sky began to turn into orange color, and the sun was starting to go down. It was around 6 p.m at that time. The amusement park closed at 7 p.m, so we still had 1 hour to spend our time here. But, people started to go home, leaving some people who were still here.
I was a bit tired, but I actually wanted to spend a little more time with him. So, by making excuses, I suggested to ride the ferris wheel.
We went into the ferris wheel while staring at beautiful scenery outside. I really like to see sunset from a height. Then, I realized Nagisa had been staring at me. I turned to look at him, then asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
Nagisa answered, "Nothing. I'm just very happy today."
Hearing that, I smiled. "Well, it was very fun! Hope we can go here again another time," I said happily.
"Of course I will always accompany you," he replied with that gentle smile. "It's enough for me to see your smile."
My face turned into red as I heard that. I looked down, not knowing how should I reply him.
I didn't look at Nagisa's face, but I knew he was moving closer to me by looking at his feet. He then hugged me. I was so shocked when he suddenly hugged me like that. I didn't know since when Nagisa became this aggresive.
Nagisa continued to hug me, staying with that position in convenient silence. Then, he finally said something, "I love you, Kayano. I don't know if you like me or not, but... can you give me your answer now? I can't wait anymore because I really like you."
My face was still red. I was too embarrassed with all of this. But, what should I reply? I know I love him... But, I have to take revenge on Koro-sensei. If he knew who I really was, would he believe me and continued to trust me? Could he accept me, a liar, and who was actually having tentacles all this time? If I couldn't hold it anymore, I would hurt him, right? I don't want to involve him to my problem.
But, why was I crying?
Tears began running down my cheeks. Unconsciously, I hugged him back, even hugged him tighter than his hug.
"... I like you too, Nagisa."
I said that unintentionally, but it was really my 'true' feeling.
But, could I believe him a bit that he wouldn't stop loving me if I told him the truth?
No, for now, I would tell him until the right time come.
After escorting me to my home, He waved at me and said goodbye.
"See you tomorrow at school," Nagisa said.
"See you," I replied with a smile.
After that, he left me. Seeing his figure had dissapeared, I quickly went into my house and to the bathroom. I looked myself in the mirror. My eyes were red because I cried too much. Perhaps Nagisa thought it was strange for me to suddenly cry like that.
But, finally I said about my feeling to him.
Nagisa was walking back to his house. But, suddenly wind came near him in high speed. At instant, he knew who was coming to him.
"Koro-sensei, why are you here?", Nagisa asked as he looked at the yellow octopus in front of him.
Koro-sensei, with light blushes on his cheeks, answered him with an answer, "Nurufufufu. I'm curious. How about the date with Kayano-san?"
Nagisa looked away from him hearing her name, but Koro-sensei noticed that Nagisa was blushing.
"She said she likes me too...", Nagisa stuttered while saying that in low voice. Koro-sensei managed to hear it though.
Koro-sensei, with his too excited tone, replying to his student who was definitely in love, "Really?! I have to tell about this to other students, especially Karma-kun because he was the one planning this date."
"Eh?! Koro-sensei, No-"
Nagisa couldn't finish his words as Koro-sensei had already flown away with his mach 20 to go telling about the good news to everyone. Nagisa let out a sigh. Koro-sensei really liked this kind of thing.
Covering his red face with his right hand, Nagisa slowly lowered his hand. He faced the dark sky above him, whispering to himself.
"I can't believe she likes me too..."
A/N : How about it? I think it was long. Hope you like it, and the first arc has ended. It's just 3 chapters because I've always made long chapters before and I decided from a long time ago that this story won't be very long. I hope the characters weren't out of character. And, the reason why Nagisa didn't think about why Kayano acted strange when she was crying, it's because in Nagisa's head, there was only Kayano's confession.
