New Day, New Me

Izuku's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ahhh, summer. That nice, cool breeze on your skin as you sit beneath a tree, avoiding the hot rays of the sun. A peaceful season. Watching the sky, seeing the clouds slowly move. Examining the grass, the black shadows move with the sun. A good book in hand, the smell of the pages and air combining, entering your noise. What could ever ruin a peaceful moment like this?

*Beep beep beep*

The sudden sound of an alarm can. The perfect, peaceful summer day fades away, forcing me to open my eyes. Tightening my grip on the bed sheets, I glare at my vibrating phone, it moving ever so slightly. Truth be told, that summer day happened, and now school starts back up again. 1-A will become 2-A, but I just want to go back to my perfect, peaceful summer day. Sure, I'm smart, but it's not like I like school. The only reason I go is for my reputation.

Taking a deep sigh, I push myself up and reach for my phone, turning off the alarm. Looking at the screen, it says 6:15, with no notifications. Contemplating getting up for a bit, I throw my blanket off and slide off the bed. I step into the bathroom and turn the light on, flinching at the sudden light and pain it brings. I quickly do what I need to do in there, brush my teeth, brush my hair, and use the toilet. Getting out and slowly walking towards my closet, I slip on the same old, same boring school uniform that I wish I burned over the summer. I get my bag ready with notebooks and pencils, leave it at the door with my shoes, and exit my dorm room, mind set on getting to the kitchen.

Crossing my fingers, praying no one's up yet, I step out of the elevator and make my way towards the kitchen. Why do I want no one to be up, you may ask? Well, you innocent child, people are the last thing I'd save in a burning building. I hate people, despise them. But, why am I training to be a hero? I mentioned my rep earlier, if you connect two and two together, then, congratulations, you know why I'm keeping up the act of being a "hero fanboy." Those notebooks I have,  filled with weaknesses and no strengths. Why waste time praising something I don't care about? I'd rather figure out the best way to beat them in a fight, severely injure them, or kill them, maybe.

Reaching the kitchen, I realize no one's up. I get to have breakfast in peace today. Figuring I have some time to spare, I cook up a couple pancakes for me, myself, and I. Settling down at the kitchen bar, I hear the elevator ding, promptly having any feeling of  "good" leave my body. And just when I was having a good enough day, too.

"Hey Deku!"

Fuck, it's Uraraka. I can't be mean to her. Whatever, just smile and wave, like always.

"Hey Uraraka!"

"Whatcha got there? Are they chocolate chip?"

"Nope, just plain pancakes."

"You excited to go back to school? I wonder what we're gonna learn this year..."

"Me too."

I try my hardest to finish the food on my plate and rush out of there, and in doing so, I hit the plate with my fork, not realizing there's nothing left on the circular disc. Letting out a small, quiet sigh, I get up and put my plate in the sink, say my goodbyes to Uraraka. Entering the elevator, I massage my temples and lean on the metal walls. Already running into people this early means this day will be shitty. Might as well pack some painkillers, too.

More and more people have started to wake, forcing me to wave to them on my way to my room. I wish being kind wasn't common courtesy. I shut my the door to my dorm, locking it for extra measures. I grab the bottle of painkillers on my desk and put it into one of the small sections in my bag. Taking my phone out of my pocket, I head over to the balcony, sitting on the railing with my legs dangling towards the far ground. I mess around on my phone for a while until I decided I should get going, thinking of ways to possibly annoy Aizawa-sensei in the smallest of ways, just so the day could be a bit fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The school day was just me tuning out everything we learned that day, 6 hours straight. And there were no openings to mess with Aizawa-sensei. The whole day was just disappointing and boring. Whatever, hopefully no one will knock on my door and I'll be able to work and do whatever for the rest of the day.

*Knock knock*

Great, and just when my hopes were getting high. With a heavy sigh, I get up from my desk and trudge over to the door. Upon opening the wooden slab, I see Uraraka staring at me with a big smile and a gleam in her eyes.

"Hey Deku! We're all having a study session in the common room and then playing some games later, wanna join?"

"Oh, thanks for the offer, Uraraka, but I think I'll stick to studying on my own. Maybe I'll join for those games later"

"Ok! See you soon!"

I closed the door after brief goodbyes and plop down in front of my desk again. I really don't need a study session. I know all the material, and the homework is kindergarten level. So instead, I open up my laptop and put on a YouTube playlist.

(Ok, don't hunt me down for this, but those YouTube playlists are actual bangers)

Instead of homework, I play some games. Being able to lean back like this is very refreshing. No one around me that only knows me for my reputation. I can just be myself, playing some games with a little background music. Can spend all the time I want, and I'll just play it off by saying I got a little carried away with studying. After all, they know how much I "love" studying and getting carried away would be a reasonable excuse. Plus, everyone is as gullible as a 5-year-old. The whole class is a headache.

*Knock knock knock*

To prove my point, someone has come knocking on my door again. What a way to ruin my fun. I get up anyway and answer. But, who's on the other side is the last person I expected.

"Ah- Kacchan?"

"..."

"W-what are you doing here?"

"..."

The silence is practically deafening as we stand there for what feels like hours, waiting for an answer. It felt like so long that, when he finally spoke, I flinched in surprise, thinking he was mute at this point.

"May I come in?"
