Chapter 2:// Art Class!

Ochako's POV
--------------------

I had just arrived at school, taking a decent walk from the coffee shop to the art building here on the UA campus.

My professor waited a good 10 extra minutes for the rest of the class because it was our first day. I was grateful for his kindness, I hoped he would keep it up all semester, even though I was bored waiting for class to start. I decided to get on my phone.

--------------------

"Is this seat taken?" A girl's voice chimed in from behind me.

I shook my head, "Nope! Feel free to take a seat."

I slid my phone into my pocket, turning to greet the gir-

"Oh, sorry to scare ya! I'm so happy I get to see you again!" Toga grinned cheerfully, this time not showing her teeth.

I smiled, feeling a faint heat spread across my face, "I'm glad to see you again too!

The professor locked the door, checking off all the people in the room during introductions. The class went smoothly up until we were given our first assignment. It was more of a 'get to know yourself' drawing than an actual assignment, but whatever. I signed up for the class anyway.

"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you, but do you have a pencil by chance?" Toga asked, embarrassed at the thought of leaving behind her pencils at this grown of an age.

"Of course! Here," I handed her a pink mechanical pencil, and she replied with a giggle.

"Thanks, you're too sweet!" She teased.

Haha...

How was I supposed to take that?

I giggled a little bit, turning to face my canvas. The assignment was to draw things you are passionate about. All your weird interests and some that may not be so weird!

I started off with a blank page, a fre scribbles of sketches here and there of all the things I liked. Knitting, crocheting, playing ukulele, music like Lana Del Rey... etc.

I turned the page into something sort of cluttered but neat at the same time. When I glanced over at the girl beside me, she had much better sketches than I did. She must've been a real artist, unlike me just taking this class for some relief this semester.

"Toga, you're really good at drawing!"

"Thanks.. but - Hey, you are too!" She gasped, looking over to mine and snatching up the canvas of paper.

Her mouth remained open in disbelief, making me a little flustered that someone admired such a shitty piece.

"It's not my best work, but -"

"Not your best?! Ochako, you have to show me more! Maybe..." She paused in tought, "Come to the library tonight so we can do commisions!"

I laughed, shrugging off the fact that I had just met this girl. I was all-in for making friends!

"Sure, I'll see you there!" I replied with a sincere smile.

I hadn't felt this happy in a long time. Having such a geniuely good connect with someone was different. Sure, I felt that when Izuku and I had first met. But it was exhilarating to feel it again!

I paused mid-thought.

"Oh God..." I thought out loud.

"Hm?" Toga turned, tilting her head like a curious dog.

I shook my head frantically, "Nothing!"

It's just so weird how I keep comparing these feelings surrounding this girl to my boyfriend!

Isn't that weird?!

Maybe it isn't...

I'm just overthinking this because Tsuyu told me that Izuku was cheating on me, right? So now my subconscious wants to do the same to him!

I was snapped back to reality, feeling relieved at the sound of my professor dismissing the class.

I reached for my backpack to see that it was open, a pink pencil with a note attached to it was laying on top of my books.

It had a number on it.

My heart skipped with excitement. I had just made a new friend on my first day back! It was a thrill, to say the least. I couldn't wait to see her tonight.

Maybe we could study together sometime... Or have a sleepover in my apartment!

I practically squealed with excitement as I continued throughout my day.

Izuku💚
Hey
Ochakooo
Meet me tn
Bakugo's place

What??
I have plans :((

Izuku💚
We just need to talk
lol
Tsu is here
--------------------

I gulped, feeling my hands get shaky. What if Tsuyu wasn't wrong about the Camie thing...

I felt myself getting all worked up about it. But I couldn't manage to cry.

I shook my head frantically as I kept walking down the empty campus streets.
A few cars drove by, some playing loud music that helped distract me from my phone.

I received a call from Tsu, just moments after I got down the street from the library.

I answered it.

"Where are you?" Bakugo talked into the phone.

"Why do you have Tsuyu's phone?" I scoffed.

"Psh. My phone is dead dipshit. Your boyfriend wants to break up with you. He just told me to call. He doesn't think he can talk to you in this state." His voice continued as I remained silent. "There's not another girl. He just thinks he lost feelings or whatever. He said maybe again in the future you guys can try aga-"

"Put him. On the phone." I spoke sternly, cutting him off as my voice shook with rage.

I heard shuffling for a moment, and then Izuku cleared his throat into the microphone. "Hey, I'm sorry."

"You know what?" I shouted, "Deku, fuck you. I'm so glad you lost feelings because shit, these last few months... Dealing with you and your bullshit has been HELL!"

"Ochako, I don't even wanna hear it." Izuku sighed.

"Go to hell then." I muttered, hanging up instantly after.

I blocked his number quicker than I have ever blocked anyone before. I was fed up with it. First, the cheating rumors. Second, the break up? How inconspicuous can you be Deku.

I sighed, turning around after checking my watch.

8:53pm

I reached into my bag, grabbing the note from earlier. I called the number.

"Hey, where are you right now?"
