(Y/N) POV:

My luck really couldn't be any better.

You see, I moved here to Tokyo just a few weeks ago from Korea.
(Or wherever you're from, i used to live in Korea so;;)

I was very sad because I would be leaving my only and best friend.

Rio Nakamura.

But, she was also moving, so it was even worse. I remember how we had to say goodbye. It was awful.

Even on my first day of school, I was super upset. I even had to share a locker with someone else because they didn't have enough for everyone.

Today is the first day of school, I'm in class 2-A. Along with other random people.

But, guess what? The person who was my locker buddy... was.... (a boy named Karma Akabane. yea nope)

RIO!!!!

Turns out that Rio had moved to the same place as me. And we go to the same school, and are even in the same class!!!

So, looks like everything going to be the same as before. Just in a different place.

Because, at our old school, it was just me and Rio. Nothing else. We never talked to anyone but us.

We didn't care about anything or anyone besides me and her.

But, I was wrong. Turns out..I now care about someone else as well.

I don't even know how this even happened. But, for the first time, I may.. have a crush.

When I told Rio, she was very understanding and she too, had a crush. So, we'd help each other out.

Rio and I would go my crush's sports games and cheer him on. And I'd talk to Rio's crush for her.

But, I've never talked to my crush before. And the thing is, there's no point really. He's popular, I'm lame.

And when I say popular,(spellcheck totally didn't say popcorn the first time...) I mean popular!

Like, almost every girl in the school likes him. Which, includes me...

But, the best thing is, he's in my class! And, his locker is right next to mine and Rio's. Another thing about my locker is the fact that it's on the end. So, to the right of it is my crush's. And to the left us just an open space and a door that leads to stairs.

What does my crush look like? Well, he's has vibrant ginger hair. Beautiful eyes that I've never seen the same color of before.

He's tall too, 5'9 (175 centimeters) to be precise. Weighs 132 pounds.

He's super smart too. He's one of the smartest guys in the entire school. And he's always helping people out.

Whenever someone needs help in class, he'll help them out.

But, he's never helped me out, I never need help. To get into the school, and to see what class I'd be put in, I had to take the test, along with everyone else.

I scored number 2 in the entire school and I didn't even learn the same stuff in my old school.

Number 1 was tided. With my crush and another certain annoying ginger.

"(Y/N)! (Y/N)!! Concentrate!!"

Huh? I snap back into reality. I look to see a ginger. Beautiful eyes, tall, 5'9 to be certain. One of the smartest guys in the school. Scored number 1 in last years test finals.

"A-Asano-kun. I-sorry."

I blushed and looked away. Everyone in the classroom was looking at me. Great, what a nice way to start off the new school year. Good thing my crush isn't here right now.

He got pulled away because of beating some kid up or whatever.

"(Y/N)-Chan, you need to work in this classroom and pay attention. Now, answer the question."

I looked up on the board and saw a rather simple question.

I answered it without thinking twice and Asano smiled at me

"Well, I see that your still as sharp as ever (Y/N)-Chan."

I blushed and looked away. Yep, you might say I have a pretty nice life. The school's ikeman, Asano is always kind to me.

I'm in the top classroom, and is numbered second in my grade. Number 1 for girls. I never get teased, and almost every girl at school wants to be my friend.

But, I know if I did say yes to it, they'd only pretend. They only want me for their own needs.

Why? Because they just want to hang out with Asano. It's my neighbor. We're not friends though.

He's really annoying. He's such a smarty pants. And he can be a real jerk sometimes.

My crush? Ohh right, he.. he's a lot like another boy I know.

My crush is Karma Akabane.

A completely different boy than Asano. I've never talked to him before. And, I don't really think Asano would really like it.

Since I'm a top student, he doesn't want that to change, he always tells me that I shouldn't talk to the certain sadistic devil.

He thinks that Karma will change my innocence and quiet personality.

I heard the bell and got up. Time to go to lunch.

As I got there, I spotted Rio and walked over to her.

"Hey Rio-Chan. Ready to get in the lunch line?"

She smirked at me.

"Of course (Y/N)."

She then grabbed my arm and lead me to the line. We were in the back and when 2 people got behind us, I blushed.

It was Karma and his friend, Nagisa. I remember when I first saw Karma with him, I got super jealous.

Only, to later learn than Nagisa was in deed a boy. I had always wondered why he wore a boys uniform.

As we stood there, with Nagisa right behind me, I was thinking. Should I talk to Nagisa? And possibly get a chance to talk to Karma?

I was about to do it, but I then heard a bunch of girls running up to us. Ohh...

It's the "I ❤️ Karma club". Like why on earth even is that a thing?

The club is really supposed to be a sewing club. Well, that's what the teachers think at least. But, all they really do there is talk about Karma.

And occasionally sew outfits that they think Karma will like.

As the girls got closer, I watched as Karma ran to hid somewhere. As Nagisa followed him.

I sighed. I guess the universe doesn't want me and Karma to talk after all.

Fate never wants me to talk to him.

Fate doesn't want us.

~~~~~~~~lunch bell~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I heard the bell ring that lunch was over, I stayed seated.

Everyone is going to their lockers right now. But since i share one, I have to wait a few minutes.

You may be thinking, if Karma's locker is right next to mine, shouldn't I have at least said hi to him before?

Well, we each have different schedules. And mine just happened to be the other one of Karma's.

This means that when Karma's at his locker, Rio's there.

And when I'm at it, I'm the only one. I have to wait till she's done, which means I wait in the cafeteria for a few extra minutes. But, on the bright side, I'm aloud to be late to class 5 minutes late.

I could hang out at my locker, but my teachers don't like when this happens, and thinks that it's already crowded enough.

I got up, when I don't hear noises outside anymore, that's when I'm aloud to go.

I got up from my set and walked to the stairs that lead right to where my locker is once I get to the top floor.

As I explained before, my locker is the last one, so it's right near the stairs once you get up.

I was about to open the door till I looked up through the glass part of the door.

I saw my locker, and no one else was there. But the reason that stopped me from opening it, was there was someone walking.

They must've been held back at lunch for some odd reason. When they neared, I could tell who it was.

It was indeed, Karma.

Oh, he was probably running away from those girls.

I waited for a bit, I didn't want to go to my locker when he was there. It'd be weird and awkward.

I expected him to go to his locker, but he instead went to mine. Maybe he got confused?

He then started to put the code into the lock. Surely it wasn't going to open.

But, to my surprise it did. Huh?

I watched as he placed a letter into me and Rio's locker and then closed it. He locked it again and walked away.

I waited till he was out of eye shot and then opened the door.

I reopened my locker and took the letter out. I went to class, still holding it. I couldn't pay attention the whole time though.

All throughout the rest of the day, I was smiling so hard.

I couldn't stop looking at it.

~~~~~~~~~time skip~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I was walking home. I finally decided to open the letter. My heart was pounding.

I had this stupid grin on my face.

It only had 2 lines.

I read the first line.

The one I admire most

I was smiling so much. Maybe fate really wasn't so bad.

But then... I read the next line.

Rio Nakamura.

What? Rio's never talked to him before though. She'd never lie to me. Why would Karma like her?

I felt tears form in my eyes.

Should I tell her? I mean, I guess it's the right thing to do. But, she wouldn't care. She doesn't like him.

~~~~~~~next day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I chose not to tell her. I'd rather not. I don't want to say those words.

I don't wanna say, "Rio, Karma likes you. Not me."

But, it wouldn't end. Everyday after lunch I would see him put the letter into the locker.

And everyday, I would take it. And open it. Not once telling Rio.

I kept the notes though. I put them into a file folder and sometimes I would look at them.

Every single time they said the same thing.

The one I admire most.

Rio Nakamura.

And every single time I read it, I still didn't want to tell Rio.

~~~~~Karma's POV:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm saying this to you. Rio Nakamura.

I admired you since I saw you last year. But, you didn't talk to me. Which made me sad. I-I studied really hard. Just to be in your class the next year. And I tied with Asano for first place. And I was in your class. But, you still didn't notice me. I guess all my hard work was for nothing.

But, I was wrong. At sports games I would see you with your friend cheering me on. I would get motivated and play my very best. Just for you to be impressed.

And the other day, I lined up right behind you in the lunch line. I would always see you in the cafeteria with your friend. I was with Nagisa and I was going to talk to your friend, but I then saw the girls running towards me. Oh, I really hate being popular. I had to run away and hide. But, I didn't it want it to end.

Since fate didn't want us to talk, I went up to your locker. I put a letter into you and your friend's locker.

But, you never did anything about it. I watch you in class. You didn't seem to care.

Everyday since then, I kept on putting notes into you and your friend's locker. You must've seen them, cause everyday, I wouldn't see the one from yesterday.

One day though, I saw you at your locker when I was on my way to put another letter into your locker.

I ran up to you.

"H-hey Nakamura! I-I'm super stressed and confused. I-I tried to think of clever ways to talk to you. But I can't think of anything else. Ohh, Nakamura, I-"

I stoped when I looked at you. Your face was filled with shock. You had your arms up to your chest and you were looking at me weirdly.

"Nakamura-Chan... is something wrong?"

"I-I'm not Rio Nakamura. My name is
(Y/N)....."

Hope_Full

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, so if you don't really understand what this story is about, it's supposed be that you and Rio had came to the school at the same time.

And since you shared a locker, and that you were always together. And that you two where in the sane class, and were introduced at the same time, Karma thought your name was Rio.

So, Karma never liked Rio. He had liked you the whole time, but got your name mixed up.
