── you sat in a cafe, waiting for karma. you were praying that he wasn't joking about tutoring you free of charge. the two of you had been 'friends' for about a week.

you poked your pen against your paper as you waited.

'what if he thinks i look different?' you thought to yourself, it had clicked in your head that you've never seen him in person. you had never stepped foot into the second year hall and karma hadn't bothered going around the first year hall since he was in 1-A.

you continued nervously scribbling on the pages of your composition book when someone sat across from you.

"sorry, i got held up after class," you looked up to see karma.

it was evident he didn't put much effort into his appearance, unlike you did. his red hair was messy as if he had only brushed it through with his fingers after he woke up, he had slight bags under his golden eyes - due to prioritizing video games over sleep. he was tall, taller than you expected him to be, 5'11-'6'0 was your best guess.

he was in his school uniform still, just like you. his uniform consisting of a white long sleeved dress shirt, a black knitted vest and dark grey dress pants. he kept the top two buttons of his shirt unbutton and skipped out on wearing the tie.

"doing what?" you took this as a moment to avoid a possible awkward silence.

"i uh," he cleared his throat as he sat down. "i got a zero on my history report for using chatgpt."

"chatgpt? and i'm trusting you with my education?" you were half serious.

"okay, okay it was literally only one paragraph. i was just short on time."

"oh i'm sure."

"you want free tutoring or not?" he had a small smirk on his face, making it clear he was only joking. "so how do i do this?"

"this is due tomorrow," you handed him the work package, your chemistry assignment. converting chemical equations.

"you... haven't started it?" he asked, flipping through the pages.

"i don't know how to do it," you admitted.

"like at all?"

"not at all."

"then what the fuck did sakakibara do? sit there with his thumb up his ass?"

"he just did the work for me i guess, he'd like explain how to do it for a minute then just ended up doing it himself," you explained. "that was a nice system."

"please, that was his way of trying to get into your pants?" karma laughed. "you know what, i don't know why i'm trying to act surprised. i've seen him do that thing where you like take a girl's phone and hold it up real high so they can't get it back. he calls that flirting at the ripe age of seventeen."

"cause you know so much about flirting, right?"

"shut up. go grab me a piece of that strawberry cake thing while i try to remember how to do first year chem," karma handed you his wallet. "get yourself something too if you want."

"you know what, i think i might like this system more," you grinned as you got up from your seat.
