Chapter 28

Tuesday. You woke up conquered by millions of happy feelings, even if you were slow to realise the reason. But then you did.

He is my date today...

You couldn't even imagine that. As long as you remembered yourself, you and him were either enemies or simple classmates. Now, he was your date.

Your VIP date.

It was unbelievable.

You unconsciously paid more attention to your dressing today. You went downstairs and after eating your breakfast, you were about to leave. Your mum suddenly approached you, held your arm and smiled creepily at you.

"Um... mum, I have to go, I will be late for school..." you murmured but she smiled even more.

"Sweety... why is he waiting for you outside?"she asked and you didn't understand what she meant.

"What are you talking about mum?"

"Oh don't play dump to me... this red classmate of yours, Karma! He is waiting for you!"

You wide opened your eyes and looked outside the window.

Karma was indeed standing in the cold, waiting for you. You could see his breath freezing in the air.

"Um... how long he's been standing there?"you asked

"Almost fifteen minutes" your father said and you sighed.

You really are stupid... why the hell are you waiting in the cold for me?

You went outside, holding a lunchbox with you. When Karma saw you, he smiled and came closer to you, offering to hold your bag.

"Good morning" he said and took your bag before you could insist on keeping it.

"Hey" you murmured" Why are you this early here?"

"To pick you up for school, idiot... I didn't know the exact time you were leaving from home, so I came here early.."he said calmly.

"But... you could have called me..."

He winked.

"Surprises are better though~"

Hot mess... damn you...

"Oh shut up and take this" you told him and passed him the box, and you started heading to school. He walked besides you.

"What is this?"he asked, trying to open the box while walking.

"Cookies... my mum just made them, they are still warm. Eat them... your have been freezing out here for fifteen minutes..." you said and looked at him, because he was late to answer. He was also staring at you, surprised."What?"

"It's just... this is the first present you ever gave me..." he said and you thought about it for a while. It indeed was.

"Wh... What are you surprised for? You are my date, so it's okay for me to give you things..." you tried to justify yourself.

He smirked and approached you, pushing your shoulder with his playfully.

"So... you are treating me just like everyone else? You have given to your other dates presents too? Like cookies?"he asked and you gasped, blushing and trying to look away from him.

"No one else was such an idiot to wait outside my house in the middle of winter, so of course you are the only one taking cookies..." you said and you were fascinated by his happy and proud face.

"Really? Then... after becoming your boyfriend, should I wait outside your house every day?"he asked, liking his own idea.

"Hey, I can't force my mum to bake cookies every day for you...and hey, what's up with this confidence? How do you know you will become my boyfriend after this dating day of ours?"

He was eating the cookies, lost in his own thoughts.

"In summer I want ice cream though..."

You sighed, giving up.

Once unable to communicate, always unable to communicate...

---

It was not hard for the whole school to find out who you were dating, because Karma was making it obvious. Extremely obvious.

He had the habit of putting his hands around your waist, or hugging you at random moments and he also loved bragging that he was your date. Even when you were only with your friends, he couldn't help it and was surprising you with a hug from behind.

You? In the beginning you were trying to avoid these kind of interactions both because you were embarrassed and not to let him boost his confidence. Soon, you gave up in resisting, since everyone knew already that he was your date and there was no reason to pretend you didn't like it.

You loved it.

"Hey, Y/N" Maehara told you" Are you sure you wanna date this guy? He doesn't seem to be able to leave you alone..."

Karma was having you in his hug, resting his chin on the top of your head. It was break time, and your friends seemed to enjoy the sight of the two of you. Especially Kayano.

"Jealous, Maehara?" Karma asked and smirked "And I am the most suitable date for Y/N, the best of all, and get ready to see us like that every day~"

Maehara laughed and stood up from the bench he and the others were sitting on.

"Yes, I am very jealous cause I don't have a girlfriend when all of you seem to have found your significant others. Now excuse me, I'm going to talk to these girls over there..." he said and left, approaching a girl trio.

"Significant other? What... what are you talking about?!" Kayano yelled at him, with her cheeks burning and glancing at Nagisa to see that he was also blushing. You smiled at that cute image of theirs.

You felt Karma's head lowering and he put his chin on your shoulder. He whispered to your ear, sending shivers to your spine.

"Hey, wanna sit on my lap?~"

You gasped and kicked his leg slightly, without replying. He laughed at that.

"Still violent, huh? You used to enjoy my lap though..."

Even though he was whispering, his words had been heard by everyone. You saw them giggling and that made you blush more that Nagisa and Kayano. You smiled awkwardly and dragged Karma with you away form them.

"Karma..." you told him and he laid his eyes carefully on you"Can you please stop saying things like that in front of them? I' m really embarrassed..."

He smirked and caressed your hair.

"Is it the first time that they see you with a date of yours?"

You nodded.

"Whenever I was dating someone, he was not trying anything during school time, so yeah, this is the first time..." you murmured.

You were used to separating dates and time with friends, so you didn't even know how to behave in that kind of situation.

"Dear Y/N, do I need to remind you that I have only a day and not a week to win your heart? If you can't handle it that much, then lets skip school together. But you don't have to worry, they will get used to us~"

You slapped his arm again. You really had the desire to smile but you wouldn't give him that satisfaction.

"I didn't come this far to let you spoil me, kid. And at least stop talking about lap things, cause you are making me REALLY embarrassed..." you tried to persuade him.

But...

"I really wanna try your lap though~" he said and then pushed you slightly. You fell with your butt on another bench.

"What are you..."

Before you could finish your sentence, Karma lied on the bench. He put his head on your lap, using it as a pillow and closed his eyes.

You were taken aback, but sighed in defeat. You couldn't reject him or stop him. His every little action was making your heart race, and you were realising more and more the impact he had on you.

You were realising that if he was happy, then it was enough for you and you were unable to take that happiness away form him.

You looked at the smile of his calm face, and you smiled too. He was so happy over little things, because they were things he never thought he would have. You took a deep breath and asked yourself once again, how could you have possibly rejected him so many times in the past?

He opened his eyes and noticed you staring at him.

"What? Enjoying my hot face?"he asked, teasing you once again, but you couldn't even pretend you were annoyed. You just shrugged.

"You know it, so why do you ask?"you murmured and he laughed.

He suddenly took your hand in his and put it on his chest, on his heart area. You looked surprised at him but he was calm.

"What... what is it?"you hesitantly asked.

"I just want you to know... that you are not the only one whose heart is racing just by watching the one you like smiling."

His heart was indeed beating extremely fast, maybe faster than yours. You stared into his soft eyes.

"What do you know about my heart?"you asked.

"Why do you think I have such confidence that I will be your boyfriend? It would be easy for me to think that you still like Asano or Nagisa, but it's not like that... cause , Y/N, your heart is very loud when it beats fast, and I hear it every time you look at me, not at them."

Right then, you thought of something you really wanted to say, but you didn't.

Hey, what's the point of this challenge?

He has already won.
