Ultimate Hero (Chiaki Nanami) *COMPLETED*

Chapter 7

Feeling the cool breeze blow against him, Ollie was catching a quick nap before he was dragged back to another hell hole of a lesson at Hope's Peak. His eyebrows narrowed as he felt fingers run through his hair, causing him to grunt in annoyance, "What the hell have I told you about petting my hair like I'm one of Gundham's god damn hamsters." He said underneath his breath, not opening his eyes.

"Sorry." Hiyoko dropped her hand before she giggled quietly, "I'm surprised you decided to hang out with me and Mahiru. You're usually with that stinky gamer."

"Shut up, you're lucky I'm hanging out with you losers." Ollie replied.

"He's such a pain in the ass, Hiyoko, do we really need to have him around right now?" Mahiru asked in annoyance.

The blonde nodded eagerly, "Uh huh! Plus, don't you think it's kind of nice to have a boy here with us?"

"No, not really." Mahiru said before lifting her camera up, "But if you insist on having him around, the both of you! Let me grab a picture of you guys, it'll make for a good memory."

Ollie groaned as he sighed, "I don't really have a choice do I-" His sentence was caught off as he felt Hiyoko pull him close to her with her arm, a bright smile on her face. It really surprised him that she was the one who had a crush on him. With the amount of time he had been spending with Chiaki, he was almost sure that she was the one who had a crush on him. Not Hiyoko.

Feeling Hiyoko's lips press against his cheek, that's when his cheeks turned red and snap! Mahiru captured the moment before shaking her head with a smile. "Hey, Hiyoko. If you're going to make out with your new boyfriend, why don't you do it when I'm not around?"

"Heyyyy!" Hiyoko whined, "He's not my boyfriend! And besides, even if he was, are you implying that you're jealous?" She said with a devious grin.

"W-What are you saying?!" Mahiru asked.

Exams were coming up and Ollie was bored out of his mind, each time he heard about them, he was close to throwing himself in front of a bus. That thought increased more and more every time he heard Mahiru and Hiyoko go back and forth between each other. Everyone in 77-B was nervous, he couldn't care less. They were masking up that nervousness with laughter and having a good time, but he could see through them all. Hearing Chisa try and get everyone confident to take the exam on was a routine at this point, getting kicked out was not an option.

Ollie was thinking of what he could do, not even Ms. Yukizome's positive talks were enough to calm everyone's nerves. But all he could really do was hone his skateboarding skills, that's all he had to do. But before he could really gather his thoughts, he felt a hand around his wrist, causing him to have his eyes shot open.

"Heeeey! Give him back!" Hiyoko whined as she watched Ibuki scamper off with Ollie.

"No way! I need him! Thanks Saionji!" Ibuki yelled as the two ran into the auditorium. "Alright pretty boy! I've decided."

"What?" Ollie asked in confusion.

"Well, since we're both totally punk rock and we're rockstars in the making, I figured you and I could, you know." Ibuki said with a goofy grin.

Ollie blinked a few times before his face began to turn bright red, "W-Wha- no way! Nu uh!" He waved his hands in front of his face as he shook his head, "There is no way I'm going to -"

"No! Not that. Sheesh, you're such a perv. Or maybe you've got a little crush on me." Ibuki grinned again before seeing Ollie look away in embarrassment. "Relax, I just wanted to do a little jam session with you."

Ollie tilted his head and snapped his fingers, "You mean the one that we were working on a few days ago? Alright, I guess it can't hurt to test it out." He watched Ibuki take the guitar as he sat on the edge of the stage, swinging his legs. "Alright, hit me with it."

Playing the guitar, Ibuki kept the same grin on her face before seeing Ollie get up, clearing his throat as he prepared himself to sing along.

Pushing the musician with his shoulder while laughing, the blue haired boy was busy laughing about Komaeda's stupid personality with her afterschool. They were on their way home and decided to reflect about their jam session.

"I'm surprised you didn't go with Nanami, you're like...super attached to her. It's kind of weird. But knowing you, I know you have a soft spot for her." Ibuki said as she tapped her chin, looking up as if a giant question mark was just above her head.

"Well she's hanging out with some guy. I don't know who the hell he thinks he is, but he looks ordinary." Ollie muttered, hands gripping onto the backpack straps.

"What? Are you upset that she's hanging out with someone normal and not an angry boy like you?" Ibuki asked.

"Shut up! It's not like that." Ollie yelled, stopping as he emitted a few crackles of explosion mixed with what seemed to be water.

"Easy." Ibuki said with a chuckle, "Ibuki thinks it's sweet that you care about her so much. Any way, Ibuki wants to thank you for hanging out with her."

"Eh, no biggie. It's not like I have anything better to do. With the exam coming up, I'm tanked up on feeling nervous." He said with a sigh.

"Nervous?" Kazuichi asked as he came up along with Fuyuhiko.

"Oh yeah. Ibuki is really nervous." The musician said in defeat.

"Shit, I guess we all are." Fuyuhiko said.

"What can we do guys, we have to do our best no matter what, like hell we're going to fail. There's no way." Kazuichi said with a laugh.

"Wow, you're just the greatest motivational speaker you know that? I guess Sonia might be impressed with your babbling." Ollie said with a smirk.

"Hey! That's harsh you know! I don't pick at your crush on Nanami!" Kazuichi said.

"I don't have a crush on her!" Ollie whined, growling quietly as he crossed his arms. "You better shut the hell up before I blast you into the bottom of the ocean."

"Whoa, and I thought I was the only one promising to make sure some people were fucking dead." Fuyuhiko said, earning a laugh from the group as Kazuichi whimpered in defeat.

After bidding farewell to his classmates, Ollie entered his house and walked in straight to the kitchen. Setting his backpack down, he took out a glass to pour himself some soda that he had leftover. Taking a big gulp, he sighed quietly before hearing his doorbell ring. It wasn't normal for his parents to come early so there was no way it was them. Reluctantly, he opened the door and his cheeks almost flared up easily.

Standing right there was the girl everyone teased him about; Chiaki Nanami.

"W-What the hell are you doing here?" Ollie asked as he watched her just walk in as if it were completely normal for her. "Hey!" He growled quietly before closing the door, rubbing his temples before following her. "You mind telling me where the hell you think you're going?"

Chiaki stopped walking and sat on his bed, staring blankly at him, "I just wanted to come for a visit." That was when a small smile formed on her face.

Ollie's expression almost instantly changed as he sighed quietly, sitting down next to her, "Alright. Talk. What's on your mind..."
