  {Nagisa's POV}

"Mum, i'm home..." I opened the door to see my Mum glaring at me in the hallway.
"Nagisa, my darling girl." She said smiling at me.
I realised that I hadn't undone my pigtails. It was Karma's damn fault for forgetting what I had to do every time I come home.
I backed away as my Mum started walking towards me.
"Nagisa, take off those clothes and put a dress on darling," She said, gripping my shoulders.
"But Mum... I'm a guy, not a girl. I know you wanted a girl, but i'm not-" Before I could say anything else, she slapped me across the face.
"YOU KNOW DAMN WELL NOT TO SPEAK BACK TO YOUR MOTHER!" She yelled, her eyes darkening.
I looked down so she was unable to see tears welling up in my eyes. I nodded and walked up stairs to my Mum's bedroom.  In her closet hung a blue, knee high dress with white frills embellishing the collar and hem of the skirt.
After I finished putting the dress on, I looked in the mirror, horrified and disgusted. I took off the elastic bands that held my hair and watched as it fell just above my shoulders. I was now a girl.
"Nagisa, come down here!" My Mum yelled at me happily. I could hear her humming a song.
I went downstairs slowly to see my Mum smiling.
"Nagisa, you look beautiful!" I clenched my fist. She looked down and grabbed me by my hair, throwing me against the wall. I yelled in pain.
"YOU ARE A DISGRACEFUL DAUGHTER. I HAVE PAYED FOR YOUR UNIFORM, YOUR SCHOOL, YOUR USELESS THINGS YOU GET, AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME!?" She yelled. She began punching my arms and legs, leaving bruises after every strike. She stopped and lifted my head up by my chin, her eyes meeting mine.
"My dear daughter Nagisa, come to the kitchen, dinner is ready." I walked into the kitchen and sat at the table. I couldn't eat. I was in pain everywhere. I couldn't even move my arms.
"Nagisa, why aren't you eating?" She tilted her head, waiting for me to answer.
"W-well..." I couldn't say the words, they were stuck. I couldn't say anything.
She stands up and gets a knife from the kitchen bench. She swings it towards me. My eyes widened, knowing what she was about to do.

As she charged onto me with the knife, I dodged it, the knife leaving a small nick on my neck. I used my arms to block my face and other vital parts on my body. Every blow she dealt left deep gashes on my arms. Blood looked down from my arms, staining my dress.
She stopped and I tried to catch my breath.
She was faster than me, but I was still able to catch up with the knife. She kicked me in the stomach, blood spurting out of my mouth. She kicked again and again. My bones felt like they were breaking. My back still aching from when she slammed against the wall.
Suddenly, my vision started to get blurry. The pain dissipated from my body until I could no longer feel anything. Darkness.

                                                                                                          {Next Morning}
I woke up in my bed, half awake. I blinked twice, my vision clearing . I sat up in pain, remembering what had happened prior. I looked at the time. It was getting late.
I got up carefully and slowly, trying not to worsen the pain. I put on my uniform and went downstairs. I put on my shoes by the door and slung my bag over my shoulder. I looked behind me, relieved.
I gave out a nervous sigh, knowing that my Mum left early for her job.
I walked towards the door and sighed out of both frustration and exhaustion.
I traversed all the way to Kunugigakou Junior High until I bumped into him.
"Oh, sorry Karma." Karma looked at me shook.
oh no.
"Oi Nagisa, what happened to your cheek?"
He growled. I looked into his yellow, gold eyes. I blushed, then looked away.
"I accidentally cut my cheek when i was cooking."
I lied.
I don't like lying to my friends, especially Karma. However, if it's to protect me and my Mother, then so be it.
He sighed, gripping my shoulders. I looked into his beautiful eyes again and blushed.
"Fine. Be careful, okay?" He said whispering into my ear. I nodded. He hugged me tightly and my eyes widened.
"K-Karma?" My cheeks became as red as his hair.
"Nagisa, I just want to stay like this for a bit."
I calmed myself down and put one hand around his neck, the other playing with his soft silky hair.            I realised what I was doing and stopped. Karma looked at me with wide eyes.
I've liked him ever since he came to Kunugigakou Junior High and I've kept it a secret from him and my friends.
I let go of him, grabbed my bag and walked away from him. My face felt hot.
Karma grabbed my wrist and I winced in pain. He notices and releases my hand from his grip.
"Nagisa..."
I froze and looked down. I didn't want to show him I was crying. My wrist was throbbing with pain.
"It's nothing I just, fell down the stairs," I said confidently. I lied to him again
I walked towards the school, knowing that Karma and I was late for school.
I opened the door to our classroom and walked to my seat. Everyone was whispering amongst each other, taking glances at me and Karma. I sat down in front of my classmate Kayano.

I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I looked behind me.
"You okay? You seem down today." Kayano whispered in my ear.
"Yeah. I'm just feeling tired, that's all." I said, giving her a fake smile. She blushed and looked away, I giggled.
I saw a glimpse of Karma in the corner of my eyes, he was glaring at me the whole time. He caught me low key staring at him and smirked. I looked away, blushing.
