The next day at coaching, the classroom is buzzing with activity. Students are engrossed in their notes and discussions. Amayra is seated near the front, diligently writing notes, her concentration unwavering. Her hair falls gently over her face as she writes, her demeanor calm and focused.

Gojo sits towards the back, his eyes naturally drifting towards Amayra. He can't help but admire her. The way she focuses so intently on her work, her graceful movements as she takes notes, and the soft determination in her eyes-it all captivates him. He feels a warmth and admiration he's never experienced before.

As the class progresses, Gojo finds himself more interested in Amayra than the lecture. He smiles slightly, thinking about their upcoming dinner and the conversations they've shared.

During a brief break, Gojo decides to approach her.

Gojo: *walking over and gently tapping her desk* Hey, Amayra. How's the note-taking going?

Amayra: *looking up and smiling shyly* Oh, hi Gojo Satoru. It's going well. Just trying to keep up with everything.

Gojo: You're doing great. I can tell you're really into it. Mind if I join you?

Amayra : *nodding* Sure, I'd like that.

Gojo: *sitting down next to her* Thanks. You know, I couldn't help but notice how dedicated you are. It's inspiring.

Amayra: *blushing slightly* Thank you. I just want to make sure I understand everything.

Gojo: Your dedication is impressive. And, I have to admit, it's hard not to get distracted by you.

Amayra: *blushing more deeply* Oh... I, um, I'm glad you're here, Gojo Satoru.

Gojo: Me too, Amayra. Let's get through this together.

They continue studying together, and as they do, Gojo feels his admiration for Amayra growing stronger. The combination of her beauty, intelligence, and kindness is something he finds himself increasingly drawn to.
As they continue studying together, Gojo Satoru can't help but notice a strand of Amayra's hair falling over her face, partially obscuring her eyes. Without thinking, he reaches out gently and tucks the hair behind her ear.

Gojo: *smiling softly* There, that's better. Now I can see those beautiful eyes of yours.

Amayra: *blushing deeply and looking down shyly* ohh..That was... sweet of you.

Gojo: *leaning slightly closer* I couldn't help myself. You have this way of drawing my attention, Amayra. It's hard to focus on anything else.

Amayra: *smiling shyly* You really know how to make a girl feel special, don't you?

Gojo: *chuckling softly* Only when the girl is as special as you are. I'm really looking forward to our dinner tomorrow.

Amayra: *nodding, still blushing* Me too. It feels nice to spend time together outside of class.

Gojo: Agreed. I think it's going to be a great evening. But for now, let's conquer these notes together, shall we?

Amayra : *smiling* Yes, let's do that.

As they study, Gojo Satoru can't help but steal glances at Amayra, his feelings for her growing with every passing moment. The way she responds to his gestures, her shy smiles, and her dedication to her studies-all of it makes him more certain that he's falling for her.

The next day, Gojo receives a call from Amayra. He answers with a smile, but his expression changes as he hears the concern in her voice.

---

Gojo: Hey, Amayra. What's up?

Amayra : Hi, Gojo... I... I have some bad news. I can't make it to dinner tonight.

Gojo: Oh, is everything alright?

Amayra : It's my father. He thinks I'm getting distracted from my studies. He noticed how quickly things have been changing and doesn't want me to lose focus. He won't allow me to go out tonight.

Gojo: *pausing, then speaking gently* I understand, Amayra. Family comes first, and your studies are important. I'm really sorry to hear that, though. I was looking forward to spending time with you.

Amayra : Me too. I just don't want you to think I'm not interested. It's just... complicated.

Gojo: I get it, really. We can take things slow. Your education and family are priorities. How about we focus on our studies for now, and we can find another time to meet up when things settle down?

Amayra: That sounds like a good idea. Thank you for understanding, Gojo. It means a lot.

Gojo: Anytime, Amayra. We'll get through this together. If you ever need to talk or need help with studying, just give me a call, okay?

Amayra : I will. Thank you for being so supportive.

Amayra hangs up the phone...Gojo left with a feeling --- mix of disappointment and determination. He respects Amayra's situation and resolves to support her, knowing that their connection will only grow stronger with time and patience.

After the call, Gojo spends the rest of the day thinking about Amayra's situation. He understands her father's concerns but can't shake the feelings he has for her.
