Misaki drags Manami inside the house not listening to anything that Manami was saying. She slams her onto the sofa set, Manami looks up at her eyes. They were as furious as a tiger.
"Who is that man?" Misaki's voice was filled with anger.
"He's my friend, sis" replies Manami while trembling.
"Just friends or anything more?"
"We're just friends, he's a classmate of mine"
"Why didn't you ever tell me about him" Misaki calms down a little.
"I knew you'd be upset and angry that's why I kept quiet...." She answers "but Karma kun is really a great friend" she adds.
"Are you sure you can trust him Manami?" Asks Misaki with a concerned look.
"Yes sis, he's a really good person"
Misaki pats Manami's head and hugs her.
"Okay then, I trust you but just be careful okay and don't forget what I told you"
Manami hugs her back.
The next day Manami reaches the class and sees Karma waiting for her. His nose was bandaged.
"Oye, are you okay, You seem spaced out"
"I'm fine, why do you ask?"
"Your sister looked quiet angry yesterday"
"Oh....about that.....she was angry because I had not told her.....about....going out....with you" she stammers.
"And what happened to you" she signals towards his nose.
"Uh...nothing just got involved with some punks" smirks Karma.
"God, you really need to stop all this"
She sighs heavily and settles down on her chair. The teacher enters the class.
"Okay class so I hope you're ready for the chemistry practicals"
The class including Manami nods in agreement while Karma alone was left confused.
"Oye," he taps Manami's shoulder.
"What's with the practical thing?" He asks Manami.
"He told us about 2 weeks ago" she replies signaling towards the teacher.
"You didn't know?" She asks Karma looking at his confused face.
Karma nods as Manami sighs.
"Jeez you don't pay attention, do you?, let's go to the lab now"
The class starts walking towards the chemistry room. Karma follows from behind.
"So, looks like you also forgot huh?" Called out Nagisa.
"Oh Nagisa" he stops on his way. "I don't even know when the teacher told us about this"
"Besides looks like you got involved with the punks as always, are you sure the teachers won't notice it"
"Its all okay" Karma slowly pulls his bandage and throws it out of the window.
"There, problem sloved" Karma seemed satisfied.
The students reached the chemistry lab and started putting their lab coats except for Karma and Nagisa.
"Nagisa. Hurry up here and better take off your coat" Kaede waves at Nagisa.
"Okay so these are the solutions mix them and show me the result in your notebooks tomorrow" saying that the teacher walks away, the class sighs in disbelief.
"He's super lazy" complained an annoyed Maehara
"There's nothing we can do, let's just start our practicals" sighs Isogai.
Karma walks towards Manami who was already busy with the chemicals. He opens his trouser and starts picking up the chemicals.
"I did it, yay" cheered Manami as she picks up the complete solution in her hand, she twirls in happiness when suddenly the big beaker hits Karma's nose. Exactly where he had a bandage.
"Itai....,....." Screamed Karma in pain as the class' attention is diverted.
"Karma kun, I'm Sorry I didn't see you" she runs towards Karma who was covering his nose with his hand.
"I'm really sorry, I should have been more careful" a small tear starts coming out of Manami's eyes which Karma notices and calms himself down.
"I'm okay, you don't need to worry" he removes his hand to reveal a red nose.
"Oh my what have I- oh wait I have an antiseptic" she takes out a bottle of medicine from her pocket and applies some of it in her handkerchief and starts wiping his face.
"Please take good care of your body, you should stop fighting people" pleads Manami as Karma silently watches her. There was a certain peace in his eyes that the class notices.
.
The class' girls squeal silently in excitement.
"Are you looking at both of them" whispered Meg.
"Yeah, its obvious isn't it?" Replies Rio also whispering.
"They're in love" an excited Kaede screams loudly that distracts the class including Manami and Karma.
"Hah, do you mean Ok-" Kaede covers Nagisa's mouth before he couls utter.
"Kaede san what are you talking about?" An innocent Manami asks.
"I.....I was talking about O....Ok...Okano Hinata san and Maehara san" she points towards both of them who themselves were in shock.
"Oh I see, congratulations Hinata san, Maehara kun" congratulates Manami as she gets back to work.
The class was happy and excited staring at the couple in front of them who were clueless about their feelings for each other. The class was excited except for Gakushu Asano, who was not liking the scene at all.
"What is wrong with this class, calling them couples just because she wiped his face" he grunted under his breath.
The chemistry class was soon over and students started heading towards their classroom, the class started having their lunch since it was already time.
Manami opened her lunch when Karma sits in front of her facing towards her and both got engage in a lively chat.
"Yes they are in love, I mean just look at them" whispers Maehara.
"Are they that stupid to not know that they love each other" whispers an annoyed Kaede.
"No. They're not stupid, its just they cannot fall in love" Rio seemed proud with her explanation.
"You're probaly right" sighs Meg "Karma is probably afraid of falling in love again and Okuda has never fallen in love before, so she just knows nothing about it" she added.
The class watches in disappointment when suddenly a great idea strikes Rio's mind.
"I got an idea" she snaps her finger "come closer you people, they'll hear us" the class gathers around as Rio stars sharing her evil plan along the group.
Karma and Manami stare at the group in wonder as the group stares back at them with the greediest eyes.
"Let's put it into action" shouted Rio as the whole class follows her.
