If I Can't Have Senpai (Under Revision)

Chapter 7

"...Hello?" Came a quiet voice.

Budo's eyes widen happily as he saw that Ayano was still home. "A-A-Ayano...it's me Budo."

"...Why have you come here?" Ayano asks opening the door further. Budo notices the bags under her eyes realizing she probably didn't get that much sleep last night probably because of him. He Looks into her eyes with genuine hurt.

"I uh...brought your bike you left it at my place...also....I'm sorry about...yesterday." Budo starts. 

"Yesterday..." Ayano murmurs as her expression darkens. 

"Yeah, I shouldn't have said those things..."

"Then why did you?"

"Well...I had a mindset that instead of protecting you ...I would be the one to put you danger..."

"......." Ayano was silent at his reason it even felt like she had stopped breathing for a moment.

"Ayano...Please forgive me." With genuine hurt in his eyes Budo bows to her.

Ayano's charcoal eyes widen in shock, he was actually bowing down for forgiveness and it looked like he really meant it. Ayano's hands balled up into fists and yet again strange emotions started to invade her body that it made it hard to breathe. She looks down on Budo and smiles bitterly at him.

"Alright...I forgive you." Ayano says softly. 

"...R-really!?" Budo blinks in surprise.

"Mhm..."

"I'm so glad...." Budo smiles a heart warming smile as he was relieved that Ayano and him were finally on better terms. He was about to ask Ayano if he could walk her to school but she silently shuts the door leaving Budo to himself.

"....See you at school." Budo says quietly, he didn't want to push Ayano, after all there was likely still tension between them. Budo leaves Ayano's house and walks straight to the school by himself.

After walking for seven more minutes Budo crosses the road to school, he was wondering what motivational quotes he would use to motivate his Martial Arts members for today. He believed that shouting motivational quotes fired up their fighting spirits and helped them work harder. He tries to remember one that stood out to him it was highly inspirational he scratches his head trying to remember it.

"PLEASE, NO, NOOO!"

THUD

Budo pauses mid-step as a disturbing thought had crossed his mind. It was an image of a person getting dragged towards him with obvious fear in their eyes. Perhaps he should stop watching those horror movies he had borrowed from Juku they were probably getting to him.

As Budo approaches the school he notices a certain cyan haired, girl in front of the school building. Budo perks up upon seeing his classmate. "Saki-san!"

Saki Miyu turns around upon hearing her name and smiles politely when she sees Budo running up to her. "Good morning ,Masuta-kun."

"Morning, how are you Saki? Are you feeling better?" Budo asks observing his classmate.

"They were able to save me just in time, aside from feeling dizzy and weak I say I'm glad to be alive." Saki says as she held a hand to her heart as if making sure it was still beating in her chest. A gentle smile appears on her face as if a pleasant thought had just came to her.

"Say, you seem all guzzied up, are you finally seeing someone?" She asks with a knowing smile on her face.

"Erm...not exactly I'm just going out to dinner with a friend." Budo says scratching his head in embarrassment. "It's my first outing so I thought I would do my hair a little to please her."
