Metamorpho (Mha x OC)

Chapter 19: It's your quirk

I felt sick to my stomach when I woke up the following morning. I couldn't believe how I acted. The things I did, the things I said. How... excitable I was. God, I have never been that cutesy in my life! I'm practically revolted with myself.

Filled with dread, I got ready for the day. Once I was done, I went to grab something quick to eat for breakfast, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion as I see my mama rushing around the kitchen.

"Mama?? What are you still doing here?" I asked stepping foot into the same room as him, simply passing by to get to the cupboards. Taking a chocolate granola bar.

"Your mother thought it would be funny to not wake me up this morning and go to work without me." He said in a rush before running out of the room.

I guess she's riding the bus to work today.

Chuckling at my parents' playful quarrels, I throw the wrapper and then leave the house. Locking the door behind me, making my way to school.

I inhaled and exhaled through my nose as I stopped by my locker. "G-good morning Akio san." I turn my head to face Izuku.

"Morning Izuku." I said organizing my books in my locker.

"H-how are you feeling?" He stuttered once more, his face slightly flushed. I guess he's not used to being called by his first name.

I turn my head back to him. "Not like a shaken coke bottle ready to burst, that's for sure." I said awkwardly, thinking back to yesterday. "And not so emotional either." I added, god I was pathetic.

"That's good!!" He said cheerfully, smiling bright before he became flustered. "I-I mean-"

"I get what you mean." I said with a low chuckle, closing my locker. "And I apologize if I had inconvenienced you in any way while I was out of control."

"N-not at all! Don't worry about it! I don't think anyone thought poorly of you or anything, so~" He trailed off, thinking he's been saying too much.

I just give him a stiff nod before he and I both leave the locker area and head off to class together.

I silently take in a sharp breath, going into the classroom after Izuku. Center of attention... yay me...

Izuku looked at me with a worried gaze as I stood front and center of the class, but said nothing. Sitting behind Bakugou at his desk.

Bowing at a slight angle I began to apologize for the way I acted the other day and the words I said. Hoping they could look past everything, and let it slip. Hoping that I wasn't a bother to anyone due to my overly energetic self. I even put a small smile on my face, showing my sincerity.

Before I can straighten myself properly for even a second, I'm being tackled by the ordinarily excitable and enthusiastic Mina.

Despite her crushing bear hug, I see the other girls nodding in agreement. A few held hope in their eyes, wanting me to join them, and to.. Help me get out of my shell, I suppose.

"Mina... can you let go... I'm not used to not being hated by my peers with every fiber of my existence... baby steps."

She gasped. "Oh right!! Sorry!" She still had a bright smile on her face. Her arms released me, but just traveled onto holding my hands instead.

"I just got excited! Please say you'll come with us!" She said with a pleading tone.

"I guess..." I said, turning my gaze to the floor before she started celebrating. Shaking off my unease, I then look up, staring back at the rest of the class.

"I said and did a lot of things yesterday that I normally wouldn't have. However, there is one thing I have no regrets on. So I'm just going to repeat it, but now that I am myself again." I said before smiling innocently, that it meant the opposite.
