That Night..... (Izuku x Nejire)

Chapter 2: It's You Again

After that night I have been feeling better, not to the point that I'm cheerful again but I feel like someone is here to guide me, even when they're not. We went our separate ways after the rain really started to pour down and we went back to our dorms. I had no way to contact him which was a daunting thought. I had no idea what year he was in and who he really was. 

The only physical features I remember of him was his emerald eyes and his untamed green hair. Not to mention those unforgettable cute freckles. Another day of school had fallen upon the many students that attend U.A high. This was my first day back, alone and without the comfort and safety of my friends. 

I'm usually fine by myself and I don't feel uncomfortable in my classroom but I don't know anyone else to talk to. Was I destined to sit alone for the rest of the year? No, I can't think negative here. My journey to the 3-A classroom was a short but much needed sweet one, A bit like how my friends would describe me.

I opened the door to the classroom and headed over to my seat. Without company to keep me entertained I started to sketch some people using their quirk in my notebook. 

I had trouble however as my thoughts constantly drifted to that green haired kind boy I met last night. I swear I had seem him before, it was on the tip of my tongue but I just can't seem to figure it out. 

Without knowing it, I had subconsciously drawn him onto my page. I didn't know why, but the result was interesting. It gave me a picture to find him by. I finished with the name 'Izuku Midoriya' at the top of the page. 

Underneath held the somewhat detailed sketch of unkempt hair with shiny green eyes and four freckles on each cheek in the shape of a diamond. I was cut short of my day dream when the teacher, Ectoplasm, called for our attention. I threw my notebook back into my sky blue bag and started class.

For the first time in a long time, I wasn't paying attention in class. Instead I thought of what Togata and Amajiki were doing, hoping they were ok. 

"Ok everyone, since we covered all the material during class, we'll have to switch teaching methods. All you third years have already mastered the basic classes so we have an offer for every each and every one of you. You can help teach first years in a new one on one training session we're implementing or you can join a series of mock situations that will prepare you for becoming a serious pro hero." Ectoplasm explained. 

"Each of you need to put your name on this sheet of paper in front of me and whether you'll be completing option 1 or 2. option 1 will be the new tutoring program and option 2 will be mock battles." he added.

I pondered in thought for a moment before coming to a final decision. I'm already good at combat and rescuing, but I'm not so good at teaching. This is an opportunity to help those in need while improving my own skills at the same time. A determined smile slowly drew itself on my face. 

I went to the front of the classroom to write down my name and option. Silently mumbling the words while I wrote them. 

"Nejire...Hado...option...one".

I sat back down and waited for the few moments until the bell rang. Quickly darting my eyes between the teacher reviewing notes and the clock I began to get tiresome. After what felt like another hour of lessons the bell decided to ring. 

"You're dismissed, I expect you to try your best when completing your chosen option." Ectoplasm finished.

We fled the classroom and started to gather round to the cafeteria doors. 

"Hey dude, you should totally try for that Hado chick!" a random guy from my class spoke. 

A pout formed on my face while I attempted to not turn around and tell them off. 

"I don't know, she's got some great assets but she seems annoying and way too curious. The only reason we can even mention her is because her stupid friends aren't here right now." the other responded.

Did guy think of me like this? Was I that annoying that people only talked to me for my assets? What ever the reason, I picked up my walking pace to avoid listening to more of their conversation. 

I looked down nervously in shame of how I looked. 

"Oh my god dude, look at her backside!" one of the perverted boys whisper shouted to his friend.

I started running after hearing that one. I was astonished that even one day without my friends would lead to guys discussing how I looked in the hallways. Tears welled in my eyes and I lowered my head even further, allowing my hair to fall over my faint royal blue iris'. 

Whispers started to occur within my head, all negative thoughts and comments about how I looked and how annoying I was to talk to. doubts shrouded my mind. Did Togata or Tamaki think of me this way? Were they only tolerating my curiosity to stare at me? Even now when I was in serious doubt my curiosity ran wild. 

I was dashing past students left and right, narrowly avoiding them. Then I turned a corner and bumped shoulders with another person. 

"S-Sorry!" I shouted nervously at them without turning back.

I should go to the roof of the school. I still have my bento box in my bag so I can easily relax up there. I thought I encouraged people, but all I really did was drive them away. Amajiki probably only stuck around because we're polar opposites and Togata shared parts of my curiosity, but he was also kind and gentle. 

I shouldn't have doubted my friends in the first place. They're good people, I'm just caught up in a bad moment. 

Apparently, I didn't learn my lesson the first time I rounded the corner. I still speeding through to the staircase when I bumped into a boy around my height. This time I tripped on my ankle, preventing my movement for a few seconds. after hitting the floor I turned back.

"Ow" we both groaned.

My eyes were still watery but I didn't have any tears streaming down. I looked around for a few moments only to notice I was in the first year area. I stared at the boy for a second before standing back up. 

I offered my hand out to them to apologize. They shouldn't have to suffer for my poor choices. 

"It's fine, really." the boy spoke before accepting my hand. 

Upon standing up I realized he was about as tall as me, if not slightly taller. He was accompanied by a much taller dark blue haired boy and a brunette girl with a bob cut. I focused my vision back on the person in front of me. It was him... The boy from last night. Deku was standing right in front of me, four freckles on each cheek and messy, forest green hair. 

The emerald green eyes finished off his look perfectly. 

"It's you" he murmured surprisingly. 

I stopped before my staring became apparently creepy and looked over to the tall boy that was getting ready to speak.
