young days

third day: remembrance

There were a few things that Tsuyu had taken note of during the first week of living inside this new past.

Firstly, she was awfully close to Midoriya in this year. It wasn't because of school projects or field trips that caused them to sit on the bus together. They were friends that seemed to hang out with each other more than others. It shocked Tsuyu a little because she thought Ochaco would be the one in her place.

Secondly, some students had decided to take breaks from time to time because of the new school system. It was a little had for Tsuyu to keep up with but she did try her best.

Thirdly, there were many events taking place in the school and in the dorms as well each week. Last week's event was something about flowers and this week's event would be about dancing. Tsuyu didn't know how any of these events would work at all.

And lastly, Night Patrols had started during around 4 months ago and they still happen now. Thankfully, Tsuyu had figured out when her shift when she was loitering around the hallway and found a schedule for it.

"...so it's tomorrow. With Midoriya."

No sense of nostalgia appeared when she read out the schedule. Was this all planned? Or did the past her request this?

"I should do some more loitering." Tsuyu stated as she turned and walked down the empty hallway. Everything she encountered so far had something to do with school. It wasn't a complete problem for her because she was smarter now.

"I wonder where everyone is now..." she wondered before accidentally bumping into someone.

"-oh- sorry-!"

"It's completely fine."

"...eh?"

It was Hitoshi Shinsou. He apparently was in her English class with President Mic.

'Oh crap. I don't remember anything about this guy.'

Tsuyu got up quickly before attempting to dash away but Shinsou stopped her.

"Can I talk to you for 10 minutes?"

"So you're telling me that you didn't complete the English Homework?"

Maybe school was a complete problem for her as of now and the near future. Tsuyu had some English Homework and she didn't complete it on time. Didn't seem like a big deal, right?

"You know, scouts won't come to our school even if one person is not meeting school criteria."

She made a mental note to herself again. Crossing out lastly to second lastly and adding in the new note:

The school had higher standards for students and if you fail, everyone fails.

"I'll try better next time." she said with a tired tone. Was Hitoshi the new student council or something? It was like he commanded people even without his brainwashing powers.

"I'll see you next time."

And then he left, leaving Tsuyu in a bad shape.

'Why can't I just remember stuff? Why now? Why second year? What's so important about second year?'

She stood up and poked her head out of the door.

"No one's here again..."

Pressing her lips together, she made a small dash to head outside. Away from the school, away from forgotten memories, and away from... what is happening in this world. Nothing felt special to her at the moment. It just felt normal. Just like before.

Tsuyu then sat down on the bench and leaned her head back. It was tiring, so tiring...

"Tsuyu-chan? What are you doing here?"

She lifted her head up and saw that familiar face again.

"Midoriya?"

That single name was the only word she felt slight nostalgia from. And that confused her insanely.

'What on earth is going on...'

[sorry about that very long wait y'all :(]
