"Urgh..." Shiena groaned as she paced down the hallway. Luckily for her she managed to find an opening and get away from that girl. She still couldn't believe what that new girl had just done. She kept playing the image over in her head trying to forget it.
Noticing a girl who was walking towards her she noticed that it was Mahiru Banba. Who noticed her as she passed her. Becoming suddenly nervous the silver haired girl fidgeted with her hand turning to the girl.
"G...good morning Kenmochi-san" Mahiru bowed to the brunette, who piratically ignored the girl gretting her continuing to walk by her leaving the girl in her place.
'Huh? That's not like Kenmochi-san' Mahiru thought as watched the girl walk past her. Continuing herself Mahriu walked towards a certain office. She contemplated before eventually managing to move her hand to the doorknob.
"Hanabusa-san?" The girl questioned as she opened the door keeping her self hidden behind the door. Glancing around the side of the door at the girl
"Oh, Banba-san" Sumireko turned her chair to see the nervous girl, who was attempting to hide behind the door. "Please come in"
Accepting Mahriu opened the door looking towards the ground. Nervously she walked towards the girl's desk.
"Would you like some Tea Banba-san?" Sumireko offered the girl who nodded. Getting up she walked over to where she kept her teapot, filling up the cup "By the way, Banba I've told you before, you don't have to be so formal. Please call me Sumireko"
"O...ok, Su...Sumireko-chan" Banba spoke
"Good" Sumireko smiled placing the cup down in front of the other girl "Enjoy"
"T...thank you" The silver haired girl added as she picked up the tea and stared into the drink, watching her own reflection.
"So what brings you here Mahiru-chan?" Sumireko gave the girl a smile, who didn't responded looking towards the ground.
"Well...I...I wanted to tell you something" Banba nervously figeted in her place, nervously avoiding eye contact with the girl sat in front of her.
"Oh? What is it Mahiru. You can tell me anything" Sumireko tried to reassure the girl
"Well th...the thing is Sumireko-chan" Banba swallowed, she had been wanting to tell the girl her feelings, but she was always too scared to try. Eventually she finally building up the courage to speak looking directly at the girl."Sumireko...I..I lo-"
"Yahoo!" Otoya pushed open the door to the office causing both Sumireko and Mahiru to turn attention to the girl "Hey Sumireko-chan, Mahiru-chan have you seen Shiena? I was playing with her and she ran off. We were just getting to the good bit as well..." Otoya sighed moving closer to the two girls
"I...I saw her a moment ago, she was walking down the hallway towards the canteen" Mauhiru told her
"Really thanks Mahiru-san!" Otoya smiled at the girl before noticing the drink in her hand. "Is that tea? You mind if I have some? I'm really thirsty." Without warning the dark haired girl reached over taking the cup out of an unsuspecting Mahiru's hand.
"Oh ermm well..." Mahiru attempted to try to refuse the girl's girl's offer, but failed giving in
Sumireko watched the girl as she took the drink out of the pleading girl's hands, she felt herself becoming angry by the girl's action. "Ahem" she cleared her throat gaining the attention of the girl who looked towards herself. "I made that Tea for Banba-san. Not for you"
"Oh...sorry" Otoya laughed nervously scratching her cheek. "Here you go" Otoya handed the cup back towards Mauhiru,
"I'll take that" Sumireko grabbed the cup from Otoya before Mahiru could take the cup "I wouldn't want Banba-san to touch something that's been contaminated by somebody"
"Whatever." Otoya waved the girl off before turning to leave "I gotta go find my Shiena-chan, see ya!"
Sighing Sumireko turned back to the girl who was looking at her with great admiration "I'm sorry that I had to do that. Now what did you wish to tell me?"
"Oh...Well I..I.." Mahiru was caught off guard feeling her moment was ruined by the dark haired girl. "It's nothing..."
'She stood up for me. That's enough for me for now' Mahiru moved her head away smiling to herself.
A/N
Yeah I know this chapter was mainly focused on Banba/Hanabusa but I promise I'll make the next chapter focus on Shiena and Otoya. I got this idea from a review I got from the last chapter and I loved the idea of Sumireko protecting her from Otoya like in the manga. Poor Mahiru didn't get to confess to Sumireko though.
Shinya: Geeze, why din't ya just confess an' get it over with?
Mahiru: I...I wanted it to be perfect. Anyway, she...she was so brave and she stood up me.
Shinya: God, you're hopeless Mahiru...
