enemies...?

...

"Tch" Shinsou replied as he walked off.

Bakugo's eye twitched in response, how could someone still be so rude after someone acted so genuinely nice.

The crowd shortly dispersed as the rest of class A forced their way through them.
Bakugo was the first one out.

Midoriya was quickly walking down the hall, he has made Aizawa wait too long and he felt bad.
However before he could make it someone stopped him.

"You look rushed, where you going??" Monoma asked.

"Uh, kinda made my dad wait too long for me and I hate making people wait.
Sorry can't talk, I'm in a rush"  Midoriya replied.

"What made you so late?
I mean dismissal was 20 minutes ago..."

"The rest of the school locked us in the classroom" Midoriya sighed.

"Really, pfft-
Why?"

"According to Kacchan they were scouting out the competition" Midoriya made his way down the stairs.
"Talk to you later Monoma"

He waved his hand as did Monoma who still had business in the school.
Midoriya made it to the front gate when he suddenly bumped into Shinsou who had a battered up with a busted lip and bleeding nose.
He was also covered in obvious explosion marks as his clothes were slightly burned.

"Sorry about th-"
Midoriya paused as he processed who he bumped in to.

He gasped, "are you okay!?"

"Leave me alone, this is your fault" he hissed as he ran inside.
Midoriya looked back helplessly as he sighed.
"Reduce pain" he whispered.

He coughed a bit more with that command as he quickly ran to Aizawa's car.

"Sorry for making you wait" Midoriya weakly chuckled as he threw his book bag in the back and put on his seatbelt.

"It's fine, what was the hold up anyways?" Aizawa asked as he started up the car.

"The rest of the school was blocking the way out"

"The rest of the school...?"

"All the first years who are going to participate in the festival-"

"Oh, they must've been scouting out the competition.
They do it every year, don't let it get to your head." Aizawa sighed as he drove off.

Midoriya weakly nodded his head as he stared off through the drive.
"Kacchan hurt shinsou despite what I said...
Shinsou hates me now...

I don't want anyone to hate me, I want to leave this world knowing that I made everyone happy to my best ability...

This sucks" he thought to himself.
His lip slightly quivered as the sun hung low towards the west, sunset would be soon.

"What's wrong?
It's not like you to be silent during a car drive" aizawa asked a bit concerned.
He could only side glance time to time as he had to keep his eyes on the road.

"It's nothing, really!
You don't need to worry" Midoriya smiled.

"Saying that only makes me worry...
Did someone pick on you?
Is there anything I can do?" Aizawa asked once more.

"No, no one picked on me.
It's not something you can deal with"

Aizawa sighed, "fine.
I won't pry, but if it gets noticeably serious I will."

Midoriya warmly smiled, "thanks"

Eventually they made it home and followed their usual routine of training, eating, and going to sleep.
