THANK YOU FOR THE 300+ READS, 44 VOTES AND 91 COMMENTS

It was the starting of December. Isuju didn't expect this, she thought the holidays would be filled with more fun and freedom. Now, she was bored as hell. She was looking forward to starting the new year in Class E.

Isuju got a part time job at a cafe that sells sweets away from the school, so that no one would find out that she's working. The person who employed her was extremely lazy, and anyone could tell just from her appearance.

The interview went like this:

Isuju entered the cafe, she pushed open the door, which made the bells on the door jingle. The cafe had a few people, it wasn't exactly bustling, but it wasn't very empty at the same time.

She approached the cashier and told him that she had seen the sign on the door which said 'hiring', literally. It was just a piece of blank paper and the words were written hurriedly in blue pen. And anyone could tell that the pen was running out of ink.

The cashier directed Isuju to a lady who was sitting at one of the tables. As soon as Isuju had explained her purpose for being there.

The lady had her blonde hair tied up in a messy bun, and her clothes weren't ironed properly.

"So my name is Rui Taidana, just call me Rui," she spoke," tell me your name and age."

"I'm Isuju Jelavic and I'm 15 this year," Isuju replied.

"Okay you're hired, you can start straight away if you want to."

"You aren't going to ask anymore questions?" Isuju asked, it wasn't like a normal interview to ask only for your name and age.

"Nah, it's troublesome to write all of the things down," Taidana replied," so if I ask, and I'm not going to remember, why ask in the first place?"

So basically Isuju got a job by saying her name and age.

---

And that was the interview that took place two weeks ago. The cafe would usually had more people at noon as the nearby school, Teiko Middle School, had basketball practices in the morning till noon. There was always a group of the same students coming in everyday.

"Ow," an extremely tall guy walked into the store. He had hit his head at the top of the door while coming in to the cafe.

"Murasakibara, you're too tall," a tan skinned guy with dark blue hair came in after him. Then behind him followed in a red head, blonde head, pink head, green head and a guy who has absolutely no presence.

Isuju only knew that he was there as he had always followed them, if she focused really hard, she could notice him.

These were the students who came almost every day. Isuju always listened silently to their conversations.the red head reminded her of Karma.

The door chimed as it was pushed open.

"Welcome-" Isuju greeted but stopped when she saw who it was. Her face immediately changed, her smile disappeared," why are you here?"

"After looking for you for two weeks, this is where I find you?" His eyes scanned the area," you aren't supposed to be working."

"What do you want?" Isuju's voice wavered. She tried her best to hide the fact that she had wanted him to stay. She didn't know why, after he had treated her like shit, she still had wanted him to stay.

"You," he said, time froze at that point of time, that was until he cleared her misunderstanding," you have a moment?"

Fudge you Asano, Isuju thought.

Isuju told Asano to wait for a moment while she went to seek permission from Rui. Rui just waved her hand, signaling 'whatever'.

Since there wasn't many customers anyway, Isuju took a seat at a vacant table with Asano. Isuju felt the tense atmosphere, and decided to break it by asking Asano why he was there.

"I just wanted to ask you if you're free on the 24th of December," Asano said," my dad is holding a party." He spoke as if nothing had happened two weeks ago.

"Did you forget what happened on the last day of school," Isuju asked as she leaned back into her seat and furrowed her eyebrows," would your father even allow me to be there?"

"Rules are meant to be broken, not followed."

"Would you want to be seen with a person from Class E?"

"I don't mind."

"What's wrong with you? One moment you hate me and look down on me, and another you're acting as if nothing has happened," Isuju said. Men are such complicated creatures.

"Are you free on that day? Answer the question or I'll tell my dad that you are working here," Asano said," you can get expelled if he finds out."

"I'm probably free on Christmas Eve," Isuju said," but the reason I'm going is to annoy your father, I know he hates me."

"Almost everyone in the main building hates you now," Asano replied.

"Thanks for the obvious."

"Excuse me," a purple headed giant approached Isuju," I want the sweets behind the counter."

"Okay," Isuju smiled as she stood up to take the sweets. She put the sweets in a plastic bag and passed it to Murasakibara.

"I'll fetch you on that day at 3pm," Asano said before leaving the store.

"Is that your boyfriend?" A dark blue hair person with tanned skin asked her. He was sitting at a table with his other friends near the counter.

"W-what? No, just, no," Isuju stuttered.

The guy turned back to his friend," told you she was single."

"What? How's that possible?" A blonde guy replied with shock," she looks better than average looking girls."

"Men not only care about females' faces, they also care about what's on their chests," the tan guy replied.

"Sorry for their behavior," a light blue haired boy at the counter apologised.

"What the fudge," Isuju said in shock as she took a step back. The guy with light blue hair had just suddenly appeared. And even though he was standing right in front of her, he didn't give off any presence.

"I'm Kuroko," he introduced," the tan guy is Aomine, the girl is Momoi, the blonde is Kise, the tall guy is Murasakibara, and the red head is Akashi, and the green head is Midorima."

"I don't think I'll be able to remember all of your names," Isuju said while smiling goofily and scratching her head," there's just too many of you guys." Her gaze directed to Akashi, and started staring at him.

"Is there something wrong?" Akashi asked as he raised his eyebrow.

"N-no, it's nothing, you remind me of a friend of mine," Isuju replied quickly. He looked like Karma. She felt really awkward after that and excused herself.

The door chimed again as it was pushed open.

"Welcome," Isuju said before looking up at the customer," how may I help yo- What do you want?" Her face drooped.

Why did people she knew kept coming to her workplace? She had purposely chose a workplace far away from the school so that she wouldn't bump into people she knew.

"What? Not happy to see me?" Karma teased as he leaned against the counter and used his hand to prop up his head.

"How did you know I'm here?"

"I tracked you down, of course, I attached a small tracking device to your phone," Karma replied.

"Stalker," Isuju muttered under her breath.

"I heard you, and I am not a stalker, the principal might be one but I am not," Karma replied with a tinge of annoyance," don't group me together with that asshole."

"Okay then," Isuju muttered," why are you here?"

"Is it bad to visit you once in a while?"

"I don't buy that, what's the real reason you're here?"

Karma frowned as he said," I ran out of people to play pranks on."

"Yup that sounds more like you," Isuju sighed," and what does that have to do with me?" Karma looked at her, his lips slowly curved up. Anyone could tell what was going on in his head.

"No," Isuju quickly said when she saw his horns that came out of his head," get out and I never want to see you again when I'm working."

"Like I'll listen to you," Karma sat down in a nearby chair," I'm staying as long as I want to."

"Suit yourself, just leave me alone," Isuju replied as she cleaned the counter.

The rest of the time till she ended work was Karma teasing and disturbing her. She was getting extremely annoyed to the point that where she almost threw a metal tray in his face.

However, she didn't do that as she knew that Karma would catch it or dodge it. And the result she would get was just a bent tray.

When she ended work, Karma was outside waiting for her as she locked up the front door. The rest of her co-workers have already went home.

"Oh my god, what do you want?" Isuju was frustrated," you've been here the whole day."

"Are you free on 24th of December?" Karma asked. Isuju was caught off guard, what did Karma want with her on Christmas Eve?

"Why?" Isuju asked, she wanted to know his motive.

"Just answer the question, if it's a yes then I'll let you know." Karma said. Her plan to get Karma to tell her his motive failed.

Isuju sighed as she replied," nope, I'm busy on that day."

"Really? What do you have on?"

Isuju hesitated to answer the question. She couldn't possibly tell him that she was going to Asano's Christmas Eve's party.

"I have a... um, reunion dinner, with my... cousin who lives in... Indonesia... Yea, um, I'll be flying to Indonesia to meet him, as his pet rabbit died... and doesn't feel like leaving Indonesia," Isuju tried her best to come up with a story. Anyone could tell that her story was fake.

"Good try at lying."

"Thanks, wait- no I'm not lying! I have to go to Malaysia to visit my aunt," Isuju said.

"So you are going to Indonesia to visit your cousin, or Malaysia to visit your aunt?" Karma smirked.

"Okay you caught me," Isuju sighed as she slowly shrunk," I'm actually going to Asano's Christmas Eve's party."

Karma was glaring at her. He wanted to know why she was stupid enough to go close to a person who had hurt her before.

He actually knew that Asano would ask her to go. Asano had told Karma over the phone when he had Isuju's phone. However, Karma didn't know that Isuju was stupid enough to accept his invitation.

Karma had enough, he didn't know why he was caring so much about Isuju. He decided to leave things as it is and carry on with his daily life.

"Okay, go to his party," Karma said as he yawned," I'm going home."

"What's wrong with you?" Isuju asked as she frowned," I know I shouldn't be going, but I want to try to give Asano another chance. If he humiliates me again, I'll kick him in the balls and go home."

"No I'm fine with it, actually, you don't even need my permission," Karma replied lazily," I'm tired, I'm going home."

"Karma, are you angry at me?"

"Nope, I'm just clueless about how ignorant you are," Karma said," kicking someone in the balls isn't going to end anything, except for his time of being a male."

Karma paused in his steps and he turned around, his angry gaze met Isuju's eyes.

"You can go for all I care, hope you have a fun day," and with that, Karma walked off.

He was gone, and he left Isuju standing there.
