First Sight

26: Playdate

The following morning, Izumi felt like she had to look absolutely perfect since she was basically meeting such a perfect guy like Shoto Todoroki. 

"Ah geez, I wish this was easier to dress in a way he wouldn't mind! How did I end up meeting such a guy like Shoto?!? I still can't believe I'm going on a date with him... wait- what time is it?!?!" 

Izumi looked at the clock and realized it was almost 11. 

"Ack! I need to leave now before I'm late!!!"

"Are you alright, Izumi? You look like you're out of breath." Shoto asked, looking a little worried. 

"I-I'm fine! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't late!" Izumi said, trying to smile her tired face off. 

'If only I didn't miss the train and had to wait for the next one, I wouldn't have been late.' Izumi thought, trying not to think about it. 

Shoto looked down at what she was wearing; as she wore some clean jeans and a floral long sleeved polo shirt and her bright red tennis shoes and she had her hair in a high bun. 

'I hope he's not judging me for how I'm dressed, I was in such a panic that I grabbed what I thought looked good, but now I regret it.' Izumi thought. 

"You look nice, Izumi." the greenette froze, and lifted her head to look at him.

That's when she actually got a good look at what he was wearing, which was some black jeans, a Navy blue long sleeve polo and black shoes. 

'Holy Woah, why'd it take me this long to look at what he was wearing- wait- did he just tell me I look nice?!?!' Izumi yelled in her head. 

"A-Are you sure I look nice? I don't dress like you and I was already in a rush to-" 

"I meant it, Izumi, you look nice." he interrupted, just looking at how calm his face was made her blush slightly.

'Oh geez, he's being really nice, I should've known that already-' 

Her thoughts were immediately interrupted when her phone was ringing in her pocket. She pulled out her phone and her eyes went wide to see it was Katsuki calling her. 

'What the- why's he calling me right now?!?!' she thought, and tried to make a smile back at Shoto. 

"Give me one second, Shoto, I need to take this." Izumi said sweetly, he just nodded.

She walked a few feet away from Shoto, took a deep breath and answered her phone. 

"What- What do you want?" Izumi asked in a stern voice. 

"Why aren't you here, you have chores to do." Katsuki said. Izumi felt her eyebrow twitch and she just sighed. 

"I'm busy at the moment-" 

"Then hurry up and get here." 

That made her blood boil and she clenched her hand into a fist. 

"Like I said, I'm busy and there is no reason I need to 100% be at your place right now at this very moment. It's Sunday and I said I would see you on Monday, which is tomorrow. Which also means you shouldn't call me on my day off." Izumi said, trying to hold her anger in.

"Do you want a reward or not?" 

Izumi was getting annoyed, which was something rare for her.
