2 Meeting (1/2)

The next morning...

”Groannn...” groaned Karma. The sunlight was seeping through the curtains. It was a school day.

”Damn it, my head hurts.” complained Karma. He got up and went to his closet. There were clothes scattered on the floor. Karma picked a random shirt and pants and put them on. He went and got ready for the day. After eating some bread, he grabbed his backpack and went out the door.

He arrived at a deli to buy lunch, since he couldn't cook. He picked out a regular bento with rice and meat.

”That will be 1000 yen” said the cashier. Karma paid the price and walked out. The sun was glaring. Karma walked onto the path that leads to Shounen High. There were a lot of students talking and laughing.

Karma, who didn't want to be seen as a loner, quickly went to class. He thought he was safe but just his luck, a rumor was spreading about him.

”Hey, did you hear about the 10 beat up gang members?” one girl said. ”Appearently one kid did it and made them partially paralyzed.”

”He didn't have to go that far.” said a boy. ”He's like a murderer. Scary...”

Gossips didn't really bother Karma, but this one made him furious.

*It wasn't my fault! It was the demon inside of me!*

Karma didn't make a scene and made his way towards class 2-E. He sat down at his desk and looked out the window. The birds were soaring through the sky.

”How I wish I can fly away from all this shit...” muttered Karma to himself.

The bell rang. It was time for homeroom. The students settled into their seats and the teacher, Ms. Kiyotara, walked into the classroom.

”Good morning everyone. I'll like to announce that we have a new transfer student joining us.” Ms. Kiyotara. ”Come in.”

A sliver-haired girl walked into the classroom. She wore sliver earrings and carried a pretty fashionable bag. She was quite beautiful too. She walked to the board and wrote her name: Kamayama Shirohana. She put the chalk down and walked forward.

”Hello, everyone! My name is Shirohana. Kamayama Shirohana. Hope we all get along!” Shirohana exclaimed happily.

The class burst with excitement. Shirohana's beauty awed all of the student. Her name, which means ”white flower”, fit her quite well.

At lunch, everyone gathered around Shirohana.

”Where did you come from?” said one guy

”How do you keep your hair so smooth?” said one girl.

*Of course she's going to get popular...*

Karma wasn't interested in the new girl. He took his bento and walked out the room to the rooftop. The breeze was cool up here. From the edge, you can see all of Tren City.

Karma sat down on the ground and opened his bento. Karma quietly ate his lunch, gazing at the sky. The birds were flying above, as if mocking him for being confined by his murderous nature.
