I was bombarded by several of my class mates dying of their need for details. Everyone was shouting different questions and statements that I could only make out parts of.

"How did you-" I heard one student say.

"So lucky!" Another shouted.

"I would do anything to-" I heard.

That last one was definitely Mineta. I'm just glad I didn't hear the rest. 

"Guys!" I semi-timidly shouted.

"One at a time please..." I spoke, attempting to calm down the situation.

All of my class mates seemed to settle down from their rowdy attitudes after I said that. Mina immediately went for the first question.

"How did you pull it off!?" She questioned.

"I don't really know. It was kind of a mix of luck and being myself." 

"Seriously? I'm supposed to feel satisfied with that!" 

I pondered what else I could possibly tell her when another questioned was fired off.

"So are you two, like, together now!?" 

"M-Maybe... I would hope so."

After they heard my response they began to gradually gain in volume once again. Out of all the voices I heard one came out clearly to me. 

"Poor Ochaco, she'll be heart broken." 

It was difficult to differentiate everyone but I could have sworn that was Tsu's voice. Why was she going to be heart broken? 

I wanted to discover the answer to help Uraraka. 

I pushed my way lightly through the crowd, making a small opening for me to slip through and head to the girls' dorms. Everyone continued to follow me and ask questions.

"I think I'm going to turn in for the night guys. I'll answer more questions another time." 

Most of them groaned and pleaded for more answers but I shrugged them off. I allowed myself to leave and head to Uraraka's room. While I was still in earshot I heard someone speak.

"Am I the only one who noticed he went to the girls' dorm rooms?" 

I quickly hurried as that comment echoed throughout the common area. It wasn't long before I arrived at Uraraka's door. I put my hand up to knock but instead hesitated. My nerves were getting the better of me. I sealed away my doubts and put my fist against the door firmly a few times.

No answer.

I knock again. Still no one answers.

"Uraraka?" I spoke softly.

I could hear a slight murmur and rustling of sheets through her door.

"Are you okay?" 

"Go away, Deku..." Uraraka choked out.

"Please let me in. I just want to help." 

"You can't... You can't help me."

I didn't want to intrude but, I couldn't leave her in this state. With one swift movement I entered her room and closed the door behind me. Her surroundings were dimly lit by a night light that barely produced enough power for me to see her.

She was sitting against the bedroom wall with her knees to her chest and her head lying inbetween them. 

"I'm sorry to just come in but, I had to make sure you're okay. You're important to me."

With that I heard her wimper quietly. 

"I-If that's true..." she trailed off.

"Then why her!" Uraraka shouted with tears stainign her soft cheeks.

She had clearly been crying for a long time.

I was taken aback at the sight of her. She had messy hair and her bubbly persona had dissipated completely.

She must have known about Hado and I. But that meant...

Uraraka had feelings for me.

I was at a loss for words while I collected my thoughts. Once I finally could muster enough courage to speak again she interupted me.

"Deku, I've loved you for the longest time. I always thought we had something special. But clearly I was wrong. When I saw you with Hado after training I could barely keep myself together, and look at me now."

"I know it's not fair to take away your hapiness, Deku. I just couldn't help these feelings after bottling them up for so long." Uraraka continued.

"I'm so sorry." Was all I could say.

"I...I didn't know."

"But even if you did... would it matter?"

She made a strong point there. I don't think it would have mattered. I never reciprocated her feelings.

"For what it's worth Uraraka, I would do anything in my power to help you recover from this."

After barely managing to spit those words out my mouth, I left her room. I had no idea what to do next. So my body just moved. After seeing what damage I caused and what damage I could cause further I decided disengaging was better. 

My body went to the only other place I felt safe in U.A.

Nejire Hado.

I could see and hear quite the storm outside and still, I left the 1-A heights alliance building and traversed the grounds in the thick, heavy rain. I could do so much to those around me. I DID so much to those around me. 

As I arrived to Hado's building I entered and ran to her room. Even with the other third years around they didn't question me being there. I dragged my drenched body through the girls hallway until I found the door with the big letters saying 'Hado, Nejire'.

I learned a lot since meeting Hado. 

I knocked on her door without hesitation.

I waited for her there, water droplets beginning to soak the floor beneath me as they fell off my clothes. Hado's door handle turned and opened to reveal a tired girl in her pyjamas. I quickly entered without an expanation and kissed her. She was surprised but let me in and closed the door behind me, all while maintaining the kiss. I didn't know why I kissed her, but I knew I wanted to be with her.

Throughout my time at U.A and meeting Hado I realised something more important than writing in notebooks. I affect those around me. Whether I meant to or not I didn't know or control. But I felt like I caused this entire situation on purpose even when I know I couldn't have. Tonight I learned all my actions will have consequences. Whether they show up now or later, they would reveal themselves eventually. Some actions are worth the consequences, while others don't even come close to worthy. But I do know this: I love Nejire Hado.
