I Wanna See You Smile (Karmagisa)

Chapter 9

NAGISA'S POV

Luck.

That's probably the best way to describe it. Lady luck must have been on my side (for once) for still being alive after the intense beat up mom did to me.

She didn't stop beating me up into a pulp until she got tired of it. It was a miracle that she hadn't use any weapon that time. But that still didn't stop her for throwing me against the wall, slap me, punch me, kick me, and shove me to the floor.

Just another addition to my collection of bruises and scars, I might say the least. Until now, my body hurts so bad, it's unbearable. And I still have to go to school.

I sighed as I unlocked my locker and grabbed the things I needed for next period.

I wish mom should've just killed me instead. I don't sense the purpose of me living in this stupid world.

"Good morning," a seductive voice whispered in my ear which caused me to snap out of my depressing thoughts and to jump and yelp in surprise.

The pervert laughed as I glared at him, "What do you want, period-head?!"

The idiot made a fake hurt expression, "Ow, that's not a nice way of greeting a person back, Nagisa-chan."

I rolled my eyes and slammed my locker close, "There's nothing good in my morning so if you're just going to annoy me, just go and die in the corner!"

"That's so harsh, Nagi." He pouted.

I felt my heart skip a beat. I just ignored it and looked away, beginning walking. "Whatever."

With all that pouting and smiling, how does he make my heart pound like this? All I can do is be harsh to him. I just don't understand this. I never felt this way before.

"Stop being so like that, Nagisa-kun." I heard him spoke,

I looked at him, a brow raised, "Like what?"

"You know, stop being so cold to me. How can I make you happy when you keep on being so cold?"

"But I'm not."

"Yes you are!"

"I'm not."

"You are!"

I sighed, arguing with someone like him will lead me to nothing, "Look, I'm heading to class now." I mumbled and left.

My eyes widened as I looked down on the paper with a lot of red markings. 31 out of 100. This is unacceptable. Mom will totally beat me up.

Stupid surprise math tests.

I slammed my face on my desk.

No, the surprise tests aren't the stupid ones. I am.

I can already imagine how mom's going to kill me if she sees my test scores. Then I felt someone take the paper from my hand, when I looked up it was the red period-head.

"31 out of 100?" he stared down at me, "Really? This is your score, Nagisa-kun?"

I looked away, murmuring, "Well then, I'm sorry for being dumb Mr Genius who got 100 in his test."

He slung an arm around my shoulders, "No, I didn't mean it that way, sweetie. I was just thinking cause since midterms is fast approaching, I wanna..."

"'You wanna' what?" I narrowed my eyes at him

"Tutor you."

"For free?"
