Lessons (Karushuu)

Lesson 7

"Hey..what if they find out?" He nervously asks, maintaining his polite smile.

"Nobody will" I assure him, as my eyes remain affixed to that moving crimson.

Karma's POV

The thing I hate most about this place is the lack of music, I don't want anything to do with your chorus lines and angelic harmonies, all I want is that metal I'm so familiar to.
Infact, why metal? Any music that can be called music is what I miss! When the clouds arrange itself that way, I think of that one song "Singing in the rain" there was also a movie clip, that had a guy dancing around in the rain, unbothered by the people on the street.
That's the guy I want to be, except there's no rain, and I'm always locked inside the watch of someone else.

"Number 11 got a home pass..I want one too" IsogaY says looking up.

"What good is a home pass when you can barely call his house a home? His mother's a psycho!" I said as I picked up a flower that had fallen.

"What makes you say that?" Peachface inquires.

"Well one time she broke in during Christmas time and demanded they let her see her son! She had previously been denied from school premises, because the last time she came she stayed past her welcome" the one true God (me, karma) responds.

"How long did she stay?"

"She stayed 13 hours till we got security to escort her out.." Isogai sighed.

"Well are you on good terms with your parents?" Came the response, a question I'd rather not answer.

"My father passed away.. but my mother and my siblings are very lovely! I can't wait to see them..the latter have grown up a lot in a year I've been gone.. you're not allowed to see grandparents or siblings" Isogai spoke with a hint of sadness or whatever you'd call it- reminiscence?

Me? Nothing.
I don't particularly like this place,
I don't particularly like being home,
In general, I don't really give a fuck!
As long as I can be left unbothered, with my comic books and 90's CDs, I'll be fine.

But this place keeps me away from that. It keeps me away from all I like.
What if I run away? Where would I go to? My parents would send me back if they ever found out. I'm not saying they're bad people, they're just bad parents.
As a couple, they're lovely to each other. Lovely enough to not remember they even have a son! Must've been a bummer giving birth to me, when they could've been having their 14th honeymoon on a Christmas just chilling!😔‼️
Ah the tragedy it must've been for them..

"Well Karma? What about your parents?"

"What about them?"

"Your relationship with them..?"

"Don't have one"

That's always been my answer, doesn't matter who's asking. It's rare that people ask because usually nobody cares about the psycho who beats up everyone who gets on his nerves. Maybe it's my fault?

No it's not, it's not my fault!

I don't feel like me tonight, but what does feeling like yourself mean when you're all alone?

"What about your parents peachface?" I ask so that he stops asking about mine.

With a confident look he answered,

"Well..I live with my dad...he's not the most- movie like, dreamy, ideal father.. but he's trying."

I'm sure he is. That's why he dropped you here right?

"My father puts pressure on me to be perfect, I'm sure he just wants what's best for me, he's protecting me from harsh realities by treating me harshly" he continued.

Isogai looked at him concerned because honestly I was too. I'd rather have parents who don't give a fuck than parents who give too many.

Asano Gakushuu you look content by your answer,
But do you stand by what you just said?

A/N)) ‼️real. I'm so sorry if this chapter was a little bland I'm trying to give it a cool dark academia ish aesthetic, also speaking of aesthetics, today we had a huge festival here where you basically smear colours on each other's faces. It's super fun. My exam went fine, it wasn't the best, and there's two more to go TvT
They end March 21st and I'll still be writing, it just may not be AS consistent, or may be shorter.
(Do you guys prefer if I updated on consecutive days with shorter chapters or do you prefer if I update every 2 to 3 days with longer chapters? Do let me know because it will be very helpful <3)
I love everyone reading this, may you have the best best best day, remember to love yourself and I'm manifesting your success 🖤💛
