Madoka's POV
I left the cabin and saw Kenji laying on the bench with his eyes opened looking at the night sky filled with stars. I approached Kenji and just sat on his stomach making him yelp.
"Are you really going to take up the entire bench to yourself?" I asked
Kenji took off his earbuds and looked at me.
"You could have given me a warning before sitting on my stomach." said Kenji
"Too bad." I replied
I got up and Kenji sat up and he looked at me.
"Why are you here?" asked Kenji
"Cause you're out here." I replied
"Oh I see." he replied
"Why are you out here?" I asked
"I just needed some time to think about something." replied Kenji
"About Yuziki?" I asked
"How did you know?" asked Kenji as his eyes widened
"I heard everything." I replied
"Oh..." whispered Kenji
Kenji scratched his cheek with his pointer finger and looked away.
"Is there a problem?" I asked
"I don't know, I never rejected a girl before and I feel guilty for some reason." replied Kenji
"Why do you feel guilty?" I asked
"I don't know, I just hope I didn't hurt her feelings." said Kenji
'Good thing you rejected her.'
"Well just know that you did good." I said, "You don't actually like her right?"
"I don't have feelings for anyone." replied Kenji
I felt my heart feel the same strain again and suddenly I thought about the kiss on the train. I shook my head to get rid of that thought since it wasn't really something I wanted to remember.
"I heard that you're always out here every year." I said
"Oh yea I am." replied Kenji
Kenji put his phone down on the bench and sighed, breath vapor coming out of his mouth.
"Madoka, can I tell you something?" asked Kenji
I looked over at him and he looked back at me.
"I'm scared." he said
"Of what?" I asked, "The girl?"
"Her name's Aiko." said Kenji, "Aiko Tachibana."
I took out my phone and quickly typed her name into Instagram and her account popped up.
"Damn, she seems popular." I said, "And she's into mixed martial arts."
She had a lot of pictures of her fighting in the octagon.
"No wonder you can't fight back." I whispered
"She's a professional MMA fighter, she's going to make her debut probably next year." said Kenji
"Isn't that good?" I asked
"I don't know." replied Kenji, "I hope it is."
"Hey Kenji, forget about her for now. Just enjoy your time here." I said
"I know but it's kind of getting into me, the fear of the past replaying." said Kenji
I looked at Kenji and just patted his head.
