My Hero // Baji Keisuke

~44~

Then next day...
Morning...

What am I thinking?! I can't confess to him! I'll be too nervous! I'll probably look like a fool!

All you thought about was your feelings for Baji. You had no idea what to do. Suddenly, your stomach growled. Thanks to that, you forgot about what you were thinking about.

I forgot to eat yesterday.

You got up since you were so hungry. Ryoko was having her morning coffee when she saw you.

"You're up early."

"Didn't sleep good."

"Something wrong?"

"No, not really."

"You can always talk to me if anything is bothering you."

Maybe I can ask her for advice.

"I have a small problem."

"What is it?"

"So, um... there's someone I like and I don't know if I should tell him. I feel too nervous about it."

Ryoko was surprised. She wasn't expecting you to talk about that kind of stuff with her. Sure she knew about you and Baji, but she thought it would it would take a while before any of you confessed.

"If you really want him to know how you feel, then it's best for you to tell him. I know you'll feel nervous about it, but you should also have the courage to tell him. You shouldn't wait too long or else they might lose interest or find someone else."

Lose interest? Find someone else? But how do I know if Baji-san even likes me? What if I tell him and he doesn't like me back? "But what if he doesn't like me back? Then what?"

"I'm sure that's not true. You're such a beautiful girl with a great personality. I'm sure any boy would like you. Besides, if he doesn't end up liking you, then that's fine. It just means it wasn't meant to be. You're still young, so don't get to upset if that does happen, even though I know it won't."

"How do you know it won't happen?"

"Oh, it's just a feeling."

You wanted to confess to Baji, but you were still too shy to do so. You've read manga books where the girl confesses her love to her crush, so you had an idea of what you can do.

It's so hard trying to confess to your crush! I don't know if I can do it!

All you thought about was how you could confess to Baji. That's when you thought of the girls. You called Hina and told her if she can go over to Emma's place. She agreed since she had no plans. You got dressed and went out. Right when you left, Baji came out of his room. He had woken up not long ago.

I have to talk to her.

Driving at the Sano's residence, you knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. The door finally opened.

"Y/N! I'm so happy you called. It's been a long time since you came over."

"Yeah, I missed hanging out."

"Me too! Come on, let's go to my room. Hina is here."

You followed Emma inside. It has been a while since you were at Emma's place. With everything that's been going on, you haven't had a chance to hang out with her.

"Y/N-chan! I came here as quick as possible when you called."

"So, what brings you here? You sounded like you had some problems."
