" I-I'm w-what?" I stuttered, unbelieved of what was said. Aizawa said it once more, without change of tone or volume. " You're expelled."

My body shook. My vision was getting blurry. Was I crying? something rolled down my cheek. I was crying. I tried wiping them away, but they kept coming back. I fell to my knees, shook my head, and cried more. I didn't cry out loud, the tears just fell out. and out of crying, my actions showed how I felt. The cry of nothing.

" But sir!" someone said out loud. I looked up with my water-filled eyes and saw Uraraka walk up to Aizawa, " You can't expel him for a test that only shows his physical ability!"

Aizawa scoffed, " I can. If you have a problem with it, you can get expelled too."

" l-l..." Her words just stopped. she clenched her fist and backed away. I know how she feels right now. I would feel the same.

" Good. now Midoriya, go get changed and you may leave. The rest of you come with me." He started walking off, the rest of the class following. I clutched my chest, disappointed in myself, and disappointment all might have on me.

" I-I...I'm sorry."

Mido: hey, you there?

Minutes later, a reply.

Kuragari: Yeah, you need something?

I halted my fingers from typing. I had second thoughts, but that thought had another thought fight that thought. And then, I knew what must be done...

Mido: do you wanna meet? I'm having tough times right now and I need a clear understanding of what my next move is.

Kuragari: oh. Why not, let's meet at hosu city. How does that sound?

Mido sounds great, see you soon.

He sent back the same to me. clicked off my phone and set it aside. Pack right now or wait tomorrow, I thought. Tomorrow would be good, getting enough sleep to travel. And It's not like I'm going to school. So tomorrow it is.

Another thing would be how my mother would react. I yet to tell her about the recent event. I'm not scared of what she'll do, I'm scared of how she'll feel. disappointed?

I stepped out of my room and walked to my mother, who was sitting on the couch, watching tv. I saw her take a sip of tea and set it down. I cleared my throat, getting her attention. " yes Izuku?" She softly piped.

" i-i... I got expelled from Yuuei."

her hands stopped. Looking into her eyes, I saw the same. " e-expelled?" She repeated what I said. I nodded slowly, then rubbing my arm saying " Apparently I failed a test the first day and I was sent home. I-I'm sorry. Even with what I have, I didn't make the cut that teacher had made. And I-"

My words stopped, arms wrapped around me, wetness on my shoulders. She hugged me tightly, " I'm not at all disappointed in you Izuku. I know you tried your best and the teacher couldn't see your worth.". I had suppressed my emotion for too long than normal, that's when I let loose and cries as well. I cried and cried until I couldn't any longer. Standing there crying for as long as it took.

I finally came to a stop, getting off my mother and wiping the leftover tears. I looked at my mother and told her what I plan on doing. I wasn't planning to stay there long, just enough for rehab.

That was a lie.

The next day, just before I left, she gave me money and good luck kisses. I felt furtive, looking at the money she gave me for my trip. I wasn't coming back, not until everything was right.
