All for Love ~ Izuocha

Chapter 51:Forget it all

Tenko waltzed around the school grounds, he didn't want to go home until Bakugo was done with practice and he had nothing else to do.

A small pebble kept him company as he kicked it down the schools hallways. Each kick a little more forceful than the last.

He currently hated himself, all he could think about was Toga and that made him angry. He just wasn't sure why it made him angry though. Did that night really mean nothing to her? Why did she seem so content with leaving things in a bad way.

Tenko clenched his fists and grit his teeth as he kept kicking the pebble harder and harder until it hit a window at the end of the hallway.

Tenko looked at the window, he was still lost in thought.

'What do I do...' He looked into the window and saw his own reflection. He walked up and placed his hand on to the window.

"What are you doing?" Tenko recognized the voice.

He took his hand off of the window and looked at his reflection again, but behind him this time stood Toga with a confused look on her face.

"Just waiting for football practice to be over." Tenko doesn't even turn to look at her.

"Hm..."

A small silence falls between them but before anything can change Toga walks up the stairwell near them leaving Tenko alone again.

Tenko puts a hand on his forehead.

'Out of all the people in the school to find me it's her...really?' He thought to himself while rubbing his temple.

"Is your mother okay?" Tenko jumps a little, startled at the sudden voice.

He looked back to the stairs to see Toga standing at the top. He sighed.

"She's with my sister now...she's safe. And my father is in prison, so that's not a problem I have to worry about anymore." Tenko answered with a small smile appearing on Toga's face.

The atmosphere was awkward. It was so quiet but, a comfortable type of quiet.

Toga slowly walked down the stairs. She didn't look away from Tenko as she walked up to him.

She put a hand out.

"Himiko Toga...nice to meet you Shimura." Toga's hand was shaking and it didn't go unnoticed by Tenko.

He slowly raised his hand and put it onto hers. Instead of shaking it the two just sat there hand in hand.

Tension was thick, neither of them knew what to do next. Tenko just started to shake her hand.

"Let's forget everything that's happened okay? Clean slate...no animosity at all...and for real this time." Tenko mumbled to the girl who hesitantly nodded.

"Clean slate."

"Seems like you got yourself a new rival." Bakugo laughed at Izuku who had a serious look on his face.

"That little shit wants to take my spot I'll make him work for it!" Izuku told the boy as he walked out of the locker room.

"Chill out bro. Let's be real if he's replacing anyone it's me." Shoto laughed to Izuku who rolled his eyes.

"Don't say that bro, you'll be good." Izuku replied as they walked toward the entrance of the school.

"I'm gonna go find Toga so I can drive her back home." Izuku waved to the two boys who wave back as they go outside.

"Later!" The two said to him as they closed the door.

Izuku looked around the hallway and sighed before grabbing his phone out of his pocket. He quickly texted Toga.
