"Umm..." Ayano says, still looking up at Budo. "A-are you o-ok?" Budo stutters, still bright red. "Yes I'm fine" Ayano says, now standing on her own "were you watching me?" She asks. "Oh no no no no!" Budo quickly says "I saw you standing there, I don't know what you were staring at so I walked up to ask you, then you took a step back and I caught you". Ayano looked at Budo suspiciously, not sure what he said was true. "I swear I'm not lying!" Budo says, hoping Ayano would belive him. Ayano sighs "alright I believe you" isn't he the martial arts club leader? She thought "don't you teach karate or something? " Ayano asks. "W-why yes I am!" Budo stutters, but with a grin. Maybe if I join the martial arts club, I might be able to defend myself from anyone that wants to stop me. Ayano thinks to herself "actually, I was wondering if I could join your club?" She asks. Budo's grin seemed to get bigger as Ayano asked her question "o-of course you can, I only ask t-that you attend club activities once w-week" he stutters once again. "OK, that sounds great" Ayano says excitedly, she also put on a big smile, which made Budo blush even more. "A-alright, club activities start between 5:00 and 5:30!" Budo says, only stuttering once this time. "Well I'll see you then" Ayano says smiling still, waving good bye as well. "See ya..." Budo says as she walks off did-did that just happen? Not only did I catch her, but I stuttered so many times in front of her!!! W-well at least I got her to join my club...does this mean I still have a chance? Budo asks himself while freaking out in the inside, this thought stays in his head until the lunch bell rings.
