"She's too perfect..." {ShinChako}

Jealousy

I woke up the next day and got ready for school. I got changed into my uniform, combed my hair, and went on my way. I almost bumped into a handful of other students, but I didn't.
I spotted her brown hair among the others, and made my way over to her.

'What am I doing?!' I thought to myself. I wouldn't be able to act normal around her!

Soon enough, I was right behind her and tapping her shoulder. She looked behind her and up at me.

"Oh- hey!" She greeted me.

"H-hey" I replied, telling myself 'BE COOL' in my head.

"How are you?" She asked.

"Eh, Im fine, how about you?" I replied with a slight blush on my face.

"Im good, thanks for asking!" She told me, smiling. "I was just talking to Iida!"

"Iida?" I asked, now acknowledging the tall boy standing behind her, looking at me.

"Hello Shinsou" Iida greeted me, smiling aswell.

"Hello" I said, noticing the slight venom in my voice. I dont think they noticed though.

"Do you wanna hang out with us later?" She asked, surprising both me and Iida.

"Oh, uh- eheh- no thanks, I kind of, eh- I'm kind of busy" I answered, still surprised she asked me to hang out with her. I couldn't go though, I wouldn't be able to function properly.

"Aw, that sucks. How about next time?" She suggested with a hopeful smile.

"Er- sure, why not?" I replied, now surprising myself. I wanted to say 'No, I wont be able to function' but my brain said no, 'you're going'.

"Yay! I'll tell you when we hang out next, bye!" She smiled, doing a victory dance while walking into her class.

"Bye" I smiled at her little dance. I know she's busy with training and friends, so even just seeing her normally is a treat.

I sighed and walked to class, listening to music again. 'I wonder if ill be able to show her some songs one day...' I thought. I got to class and sat down, still listening to music. Another tap on the shoulder.
I took out my earbuds and looked behind me again. There he is, looking at me with his blue eyes. The guy- Monoma- looked at me with his fingers crossed.

"Soooooo? Who is she?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked back.

He smirked.

"You're in love, its really obvious. Like, REALLY obvious. So who is she?" He said, still smirking.

I blushed. How did he figure it out?!

"..Is it that obvious?" I asked quietly.

"Yes it is, so obvious that she probably knows." He replied, making me more nervous.

"You aren't helping." I told him.

"I wasnt trying to." He said back.

"Why are you so nosy anyway? Its not your business you know" I questioned him, curious.

"Well, I might be able to help you. Depends who it is. So whats it gonna be? Are you gonna tell me or not?" He asked.

"F-fine. But im trusting you to not tell anybody, okay?" I told him, making him promise. "If you break this promise there will be hell to pay."

"Fine" he replied.

"Ochako Uraraka, class A." I told him.

"WOW WASNT EXPECTING THAT" He yelled, getting the attention of the rest of the class.

"Wow what?" Someone asked.

"Yeah, what happened?" Kendou questioned.

"N-nothing!" I couldnt control my stutter. If I wasn't careful, they might all find out. And who knows what they would do with that information? I couldn't trust them yet.

I looked back at Monoma for help. I saw his smirk and immediately knew it was a mistake to tell him.

"Oh nothing, Shinsou here was just telling me who he likes, thats all~" The blonde demon told them all.

I hit him and he put his hands up in surrender.

"Shinsou, you made a BIG mistake telling MONOMA of all people" One of my classmates told me.

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious" I said.

"Hey, who is it? None of us are like him so you can trust us" Someone said, standing up.

"And how do I know i can trust you?" I asked them, looking away.

"You saw me karate-chop Monoma the other day" Kendou spoke up.

"Fair enough. Are you sure you guys want to know?" I asked.

"Yeah" someone replied.

"Okay, so...I may or may not like Ochako Uraraka." I told them, covering my face, just waiting for someone to laugh.

"Ochako Uraraka as in that girl from class A?" One of the guys asked, surprised.

"But didn't you declare war on them or something?" A girl inquired.

"Yeah and I feel stupid about it now. If I tell her I like her, then I'll either get humiliated by her not liking me back or get humiliated by dating someone I declared war with." I answered, putting my hand on my neck in embarrassment.

"Damn, thats tough" Someone whispered.

"Yeah, I feel bad for the guy" Someone else replied.

I put my earbuds back in and focused on the music, but then suddenly struck me.

..What if she likes that Iida guy?..

Whats not to love about him? It would make sense, when they were talking earlier she seemed happy talking to him. I'll have to ask next time I see her.

I bit my lip at the thought. Maybe I just shouldn't tell her at all. That would work too.

But nervousness wasn't the only thing i was feeling, there was something else. I don't want her with anyone other than me, but...
I entertained the thought of her holding someone's else's hand, leaning on someone else, kissing someone else. I felt a slight sting of jealousy as I knew that 'someone else' would probably be Iida. Was jealousy the word i was looking for?

I snapped out of it as I realized there was a handing waving in front of my face.

"Hey, you good?" Kendou asked me, pulling her hand away.

"Huh? Yeah I'm fine" I'm pretty sure she could tell by my voice that I wasn't fine.

"You don't sound fine" she said.

"You're right, im not. I think I'm jealous, but im not sure." I told the orange-haired girl, as she looked at me puzzled.

"What do you mean you're not sure?" She asked.

"I haven't felt this way in a long time, so I dont know how to describe it. Jealous could work though." I said.

"Well what are you jealous about?" She asked me, listening.

"Tenya Iida. Uraraka is always so happy around him, and I can't stand the thought of her being with someone else. But if I think about it, I get a little angry and sad and just- like I said, I don't usually get jealous." I replied.

"Ohhhhh." She said.

"Yeah. And now I know I can't trust Monoma to help me." I went on, feeling more frustrated at having been so stupid to tell him.

"Well...what if I helped?"
