     Karma Akabane was at the last step of the mountain before he made his way to the train stations, sighing quietly to himself after the long walk. It'd been a long, boring day that he would've skipped had it not been for Koro-Sensei, who'd come by his house after school often and make a fuss every time he missed from a couple to all his classes. Now that Karma hadn't napped at all during the day and after the lack of sleep he had last night, he was irritated. He wasn't ready to snap or anything like that, but he could if someone pushed it. Maybe staying up last night figuring out every little prank to pull on Koro-Sensei and gaming wasn't such a great idea...

     Languidly walking along the sidewalks lining the outskirts of the campus, Karma stared up at the orange sky as the sun was descending over the horizon. Everything in the background faded around him as he meandered through his thoughts—from the stares glued to his hair or back, the whispers, the marching of feet piling out of the school. 

     He was still staring blankly up into the sky until a shrill shriek broke his empty concentration. He blinked a couple of times before he noticed meters away that the noise came from a group of girls hiding in a secluded area. He would've ignored it had he not realized quickly that it seemed like the three girls were cornering some blonde.

     He couldn't see the blonde very well with the tree over her face. But it didn't cover the group enough for him to see that blondie was pushed against the wall by the three girls surrounding her. She was hugging whatever books she had in her arms very tightly as well. He winced at the piercing giggling that did anything but kept them concealed from his attention, much to his now growing annoyance.

     Surreptitiously, he continued down the path closer to the girls. "Hikari, you should know by now that even standing near E-class students can lower you down a grade or two. We're just helping you out by giving you a little warning," said one of the three girls. The other girls laughed as the blonde, Hikari he supposed, started shrinking even more under their pressure.

     Karma sighed to himself as he looked around his surroundings. Obviously, no one was around, and even so, there were only a couple of stranglers too busy with their noses in their books to actually notice. He didn't know who this girl was, but if what the three girls said about her was right, it wouldn't matter to them enough to stop whatever the hell was happening.

     Hikari replied something quietly to them, to which another responded, "Ugh, seriously?" The girl flinched under such a sharp voice. "How are you still in B-class when you can't even understand the simplest things?"

     "E-class is at the bottom of the barrel. There's no point in acting like you're so above it all and helping these people out. God- you're such an attention-whore and fake bitch."

     Karma was stuck in place, sighing to himself again. He could more or less walk away as is and get to his train ride. But his feet weren't moving, and he knew why.

     He looked back up at the scene and beelined to the girls just as they continued yelling at her. "You little bitch!" Did he miss Hikari saying something? "I don't care if I'm in D-class because you need someone to slap the living hell into you-"

     The girl lifted her hand, but instead of moving away, blocking, anything at all, Hikari cowered under the hand.

     Geez.
