Ayanokouji: Free Life

Chapter 8: Shadow Nuisance

Ayanokouji POV

*Next Day*

I wake up to the sound of birds chirping. I could stay in the dorms despite the main building and the rest of the school ground being closed for repairs as well as an investigation into the mystery culprit. I work out for a good 2 hours, nothing serious. I shower, eat something, and put on a decent shirt, and jeans and grabbed my wallet and walked out my room, locking it. I then had a nice 20-minute walk to the local mall center. It seems I was 5 minutes early but I saw Uraraka there in a white dress waiting for me. How long has she been waiting for?

Me: Hey, did you wait long for me?

Uraraka: No, I just got here, Ayanokouji-san.

Me: Wow, an honorific, thank you.

Uraraka: (blushed) Um... It's nothing!

Me: Ok. Alright, so I saw a store around here that sold some basic phones, unless you know a better place?

Uraraka: Yeah, I want you to get a more recent model.

Me: Ok sure.

We arrive inside the mall passing a clothes store only to see Momo, and Jiro shopping inside.

Me: Oh, hey Momo, and Jiro

Momo yelped and turned red and Jiro was surprised and smirked.

Jiro: Oh, hey Ayanokouji, fancy seeing you here.

Momo: Yeah, Ayanokouji, but why are you with Uraraka? Are you guys close?

Me: Not really, she just wanted to find a good phone for me so we decided to come today since school closed for a week.

It looked like Uraraka pouted a bit.

Momo: If that's the case, do you mind us going with you, we finished shopping here already.

Jiro: We just were looking around, that's all. Anyways, it's a good thing you guys showed up. I had to leave soon, so now I'm not worried Momo is all alone now!

Momo started to blush even more. I could tell she was embarrassed.

Momo POV

Why did Kyoko have to do that?!!! I'm too embarrassed and shy to walk. That was until Ayanokouji started talking.

Ayanokouji: Hey, Momo, you don't have to do this if you're feeling uncomfortable. I am just here for a phone.

Me: Oh, Ayanokouji, don't worry, I'm fine. Let's go and get you a phone. I'm surprised you didn't already have one.

Ayanokouji: Yeah, up until this point I never really needed one. Hey Uraraka, you feeling ok?

Uraraka: Yeah, I'm fine.

She didn't look fine. She looked pissed at me. I think she wanted to be alone with Ayanokouji. But, since I don't believe they are dating, I can do whatever I want.

Me: Ayanokouji, are you currently dating someone?

Uraraka looked intently at Ayanokouji for his answer. I also wanted to know for sure too.

Ayanokouji: Nope. I never had a girlfriend before.

Uraraka's eyes lit up and looked at me. I looked back at her with a smirk. She then showed an agitated face towards me. As we were walking around the mall, it looked like people were staring, especially men, who seemed to curse out Ayanokouji.
