Chapter 3

(Deku POV)

As I was going back to class, I felt stares and heard faint whispers. I clutched my jaw and fast walked back to class. When I got back to class, everyone surrounded me and started to ask a bunch of questions of where kacchan was.

"He went back to the dorms. H-he needs some fresh air." I said quietly. Almost a whisper. "Midoriya! You can't just take Bakugou like that! He needs to face the consequences of his foul actions as a responsible UA he should be!" Iida scolded, doing his strange hand movements.
"And as a UA student, it is important for him to reflect on his actions alone. He's old enough to reflect on his own without help of anyone else. And also, Mr.Aizawa would've kicked him out anyways." I shot back. I'm usually a quiet, shy person who does as told. But this is kacchan we're talking about. I know him more than anyone. And I don't like it when people think they know what's better for Kacchan.

"I sure would of." Mr.Aizawa rolled to class with his caterpillar suit. "Everyone take a seat. Present Mic will be here in a bit." He said with a tint of blush. Blush?! Maybe he was probably just hot in that caterpillar suit.

"I apologize for that outburst Sir!" Iida said. "It's fine. Let Bakugou take some time to reflect on his own. Everyone can talk quietly while we wait." And with that he was asleep. I sat down in my seat. I hope kacchan is ok. "Hey Midoriya." Oh todoroki. "Hey Todoroki-Kun!" I faked smiled. "Something bothering you? You seem frustrated about something." Todoroki asked with a hint of concern in his voice. "N-nothing it's just that-" I paused. Should I tell him? "You can tell me. We're friends aren't we?" I sighed. "Well..." I hinted him to come closer. "I kinda l-like Kacchan..." I whispered in his ear. (Author note: Le gasp *cue dramatic music)

"Is that it? That's what's bothering you?" Todoroki said. "W-well yeah. I l-like him b-but I know he probably will n-never like me b-back." I muttered, fiddling with my fingers trying to hold back my tears. I had finally confessed. Not only that but I confessed that he'll never like me back.

"Stop thinking such negative things. Yeah, he's a jackass and I honestly don't know what you see in him, but maybe he likes you back. You never know until you tell him." He explained. "W-waah?! So your saying to just tell him? 'Hey i like you. You obviously hate me. So have a nice day.'" I said sarcastically. "I'm not saying to confess right away. But he should at least know you like him." Todoroki states.

"He doesn't. And that's not something hard to realize. He's happier when I'm not here. He's happy when he's with Kirishima, Mina, Kaminari or Sero. Heck, he seems to be less bothered to be with anyone in this class except me. He's happier...with everyone else...except me." I let my tears fall. I was so upset. Not just because Kacchan didn't like me, but because I was weak and couldn't control my emotions. That's when I felt someone hugging me. It was Uraraka.
"I-" Uraraka started to talk before I could even begin.

"I heard everything. I would honestly smack you if it weren't for you crying. Stop thinking those things. If he doesn't like you, that just means he's not the one for you, and that there's someone else waiting for you." Uraraka hugged me even more tightly. She let me cry it all out until I was only sniffling and hiccuping. "Better now?" I nodded. "Good. Now cheer up Present mic is here." And with that she left to her seat. Todoroki nodded and I nodded back. A way to say "Are you ok?" And for me to say "yeah I'm better." He sat down and class began. Half way through the class I zoned out (for like the second time today) and stared at the empty seat next to me. I wish you just knew what i felt about you without telling you. I wish...I wish you could be happier with me. I mentally slapped myself and remembered what Uraraka told me. Stop thinking those things. I flipped the page of my notebook and started to write notes. I was writing the date when I remembered. Ugh I still need to figure out what to do about Kacchan's birthday! I started to think about what to do but then I realized it would be better if I asked for some help. Maybe I can ask Mina after school.
