Chapter 32: Eating at the Diner

No one's perspective

Two days after Bakugou and Izuku made up, and they give each other a second opportunity, the petite finds himself walking out of his last class for the end of the day to meet up with his best friend Ochaco when suddenty someone interrupts their conversation with their heavy feet and short breathing. 

"Midoriya, hey!" A boy with a familiar voice yells out to Izuku; the boy slowly peeks over his shoulder and locks eyes with the tall boy; his eyes are shaking. 

"O-oh, hey, Shindo," Izuku replies, uncertain whether to run or stay. Shindo stands next to Izuku and his friend, Ochaco. She looks over at Shindo and raises a brow, wondering where she's seen him.

"Oh, hello. My name is Shindo, Izuku's friend," Shindo says as he reaches for Ochacos' hand. She looks up at him and then down at his hand, awkwardly shaking it. Since when were we on first-name basses? This guy gives me the creeps, Izuku thinks to himself as he stares at Shindo suspiciously. 

"Nice to meet you?" Ochaco says as she pulls her hand away. "Name's Ochaco," She says, not giving him her name just in case. Izuku saw her actions and nodded toward her, confusing the poor black-haired boy. 

"Anyway, Izuku, could you help me out? I'm struggling with calculus right now, and my exam is tomorrow," Shindo pleads the male, tearing his eyes away from Ochaco to look at Izuku. The little boy feels cornered and wants to say no, but he thinks Shindo will do something to convince him otherwise.

"I-I'm not great with calculus myself, and I barely passed," Izuku creates a lie; he has Bakugou to thank for math tutoring. But he can't tell Shindo that his boyfriend tutored him; it's too awkward, and Shindo gives Izuku the creeps. 

"Please, I can't think of anyone else," Shindo pouted, not tearing eye contact with Izuku. The greenette gulped at the uneasy atmosphere around the boy before him. Luckily, Ochaco was there to help him out. 

"What grade of calculus do you need help in?" Ochaco intervenes, stepping closer to Shindo and standing before Izuku; she can feel the weird atmosphere. 

"Um, third, the same as Izuku's," Shindo replies. Ochaco smirks as he takes out her phone and scrolls through her contacts to find a friend of hers to help poor boy Shindo. 

"Well, you're in luck! My friend Momo is the smartest person I know," Chacs says as she opens their conversation and shoots her a text, Izuku lowly sighing to himself as he feels freedom around the corner. "I told her about you, and she said she'll tutor you!" She says, forming a fake smile.

"O-oh?" Shindo says, a little disappointed. Ochaco asks for Shindo's phone number to send to Momo to get in contact with him. 

"Now you have a tutor," Ochaco says with another fake smile. She hooks arms with the quiet Izuku and sighs. "Well, we're off now. Have a nice weekend," The brunette says before turning on her heel and heading towards the exit.

"Thank you," Izuku says once they exit the building. Ochaco giggles as she guides him to her car to go for something to eat and have a fun day shopping.

"Anything for my cinnamon roll!" She giggles, hugging the boy tightly. "Also, why does his face seem familiar to me?" Ochaco asks Izuku and herself aloud. The greenette looks at her car and guides himself to the front seat.

"He told me we met in high school, but I don't remember him..." Izuku says before sliding into the co-pilot seat. Ochaco does the same, tossing her book bag in the back seat and pulling out her keys to start the car.
