Melody Of Life

5 - Sold Dreams

\......................................................../

It has been a week since Izuku's world crumbled, but he was slowly managing to get better.

First thing that happened was that Izuku finally sold all the hero merch he wanted to get rid of. Being smart kid and fanboy he is, he managed to make really good money out of this since he knew exactly what those things were worth for other collectors.

As for what he did with the money, his first thought was to give them to his family, but his mom insisted that he should keep them. Izuku however being stubborn as always convinced her to take atleast some of it. Tenko however didn't take anything, saying that Izuku should use that money on something meaningful.

Since that was the case, Izuku spend these past few days looking for what exactly he could use that money for.

Another thing was that somebody apparently snitched on Bakugo and got him suspended for 2 weeks, which gave Izuku some quality time to put himself really together.

However now it's monday and Izuku still can't decide what he should buy.

"Keep the money to yourself he said. I'm sure there is something you need too he said. Well I have no damn idea what I want!" Izuku thought as he stepped trough the school gate.

"Ugh, another day in hell. Let's see what awaits me here today."

Izuku walked trough the hallways, but before he went to the class, he was stopped by one of his classmates.

"Midoriya, can we talk in private..." He said, but strangely Izuku didn't feel threatened.

Izuku simply nodded and followed his classmate.

"Look Midoriya, I just want to tell you that some time ago I saw your girlfriend,... going out with Bakugo..." He said looking away.

"I already know..." Izuku said, looking at his classmate.

"Y-you do?"

"Yeah, I caught them last week. Thanks for your concern tho. If that's all you wanted, then I'll be going." Izuku said as he turned around to go towards his class again, but before going inside looked back. "Come on, class will start soon."

\...................../ Time Skip \...................../

First period finally ended and Izuku was as always alone. As he was about to reach for headphones in his backpack, he heard familiar voice.

"DEKU, ARE YOU HERE?" It was Ochako and she sounded angry.

As she walked into the classroom, Izuku just looked at her with blank stare.

"What do you want Uraraka?" Izuku asked blankly.

Ochako seemed taken back by the fact Izuku called her by her family name, but quickly put herself together.

"I want to know what the hell is up with that rumor about me cheating on you Deku... Do you have any goddamn idea what you did?" Ochako said angrily.

Izuku stared at her for a moment before he spoke up.

"What are you talking about? First of all, I didn't start a damn thing. Second, even if I did, it's not like I would be lying anyways. So what's up with you?" Izuku said with harsh tone. Even if he isn't completely fine, he knows one thing for sure. She doesn't deserve any kindness from him anymore.

Ochako was genuinely shocked at the change in Izuku's behaviour, but her shock quickly turned into anger once again.

"How dare you! I would never do some-"

"I got that dumbass wrapped around my finger... Does that sound familliar?" Izuku interrupted her. "Don't think I am stupid. I might be quirkless but I am still one of the top students here. You might have fooled me before, but not anymore." He said as he got up from his chair to face her.

"Maybe if you bothered to read my messages or made even just a tiny bit of effort to talk to me, you would know that I broke up with you week ago. Maybe check my number before you start assuming things."

Ochako's eyes widened as she yelled along with rest of class. "WHAT!?"

"You heard me. Now if you came here just to yell at me, then you can just go. I don't need people like you in my life." Izuku said as he sat down again.

RIIIING

Just as Ochako was about to speak again, school bell rang to cut her off.

"This isn't over Deku..." She said and walked out of classroom.

From that point rest of Izuku's day went pretty normally aside from his classmates staring at him from time to time, but he ignored that.

School finally ended and Izuku left, not seing Ochako in his way. As always he looked around on his way on poster ads. However this time, one of them caught his eye.

Selling piano
In very good shape
Cost is negotiable
Please call this number if you are interested:

"Piano huh?" Izuku thought as he smirked and wrote down the contact number into his notebook. "Perhaps I have found what I can use that money for now."

Izuku walked back to his empty home and rushed to his room.

"Okay, let's give it a shot." Izuku thought as he started dialing the number from his notebook.

BEEP
BEEP
BEEP

<Hello?> Male voice spoke trough Izuku's phone.

<Hello, I am calling about the piano you are selling. Is the offer still open?> Izuku asked.

<Ahh that, are you interested?>

<Yes I am. Are you fine with talking trough the phone or do you want to negotiate face to face?>

<I would rather meet up in person. Besides I am sure you want to see the product before negotiating a price don't you?>

<Yes I would like that. Can you send me the adress then so we can talk?>

<Of course, I am sending it to you right now. I'll be expecting you tomorrow at, let's say 4pm. Is that acceptable?>

<It is, thank you sir.> Izuku said as he thought. "Tomorrow sure will be interesting."
