A New World (Todoroki x OC)

Chapter 21 - Happy Birthday

[Sorry guys, updates will be slower since my mind took over and forced me to make 3 books at the same time... Yeah, my mistake.]

~Couple months later - Winter - December 1st~

"SHOTOOOOOO!!!" I yell through the halls, stomping towards the startled boy.

He looks at me and I can immediately tell he knows what he's done. "Oh... Sumi, can expla-"

"YOU are in BIG damn trouble. I thought I told you not to tell Sensei where we were. But no, your big mouth had to run and now I'm GROUNDED!!!" I grab his ear and he winces.

"Wait wait wait wait!" He exclaims. "I only told him because he told me he would tell Endeavor about it if I didn't!"

I pinch the bridge of my nose and hear whispering around us.

"A lovers quarrel?"

"He's in trouble."

"Wow, look at her go."

I release him. "Fine. But next time, try to at least think of a lie or something. Let's get to class."

He chuckles. "Okay. Sorry."

We walk through the halls together, talking and dinking around until we turn a corner and the bell rings. I look at Todoroki. "Holy shit, we're late!"

I immediately grab his hand and begin running, dragging him behind me. When we arrive at the classroom, skidding to a stop, we open the door to be met with staring eyes.

"Natsumi. Todoroki. You're late." Aizawa grumbles.

I bow to him. "Sorry, Sensei. We got held up."

Todoroki bows as well. "I apologize."

Aizawa sighs. "Just take yout seats."

I quickly shuffle away, Todoroki trailing after me. When I reach my seat, Kirishima turns around.

"What were you two up to?" He whispers.

I roll my eye. "None of your business."

"Oh, so were you two..." He trails off.

"No." I hiss. "Nothing like that. We're just late."

He chuckles before Aizawa addresses him. "Kirishima, turn around."

He obeys. "Sorry."

I position my hand under my chin while my gaze drifts to the window. Then, I catch Izuku's eye and he quickly looks away. I frown before look back at Todoroki. He meets my gaze and gives me a questioning look. I lean towards him. "Did something happen to me that I don't know about?" I whisper.

He frowns. "No, I don't think so."

"Why is everyone looking at me then?"

"I don't kn-"

"Natsumi. Turn around, or it's detention for you." Aizawa's voice is irritated.

I sigh and turn around. "Sorry, Sensei."

I walk through the halls, heading towards the rooftop with my lunch. When I open the door, a warm breeze flows through my long, black hair. I take a deep breath before sitting down beside the fence lining the edge of the roof. I take the clip that's holding the wrapping of the box in place. I use it to hold up the hair that hangs in my face and begin eating. I panic when the roof door begins opening and quickly unclip my hair, letting it fall once more.

"Natsumi?" Deku's head pops out and I frown.

"Midoriya? What're you doing up here?" I ask, not in the most polite way.
