Over the weekend, Bakugo continued to ponder who gave him that figure. He didn't notice anyone at the shop, and he didn't see anyone follow him. He would ask around, but then people would know he has an All Might obsession. Katsumi didn't think anything of it. She wanted to tell him it was her, but she knew if she told him, his pride might get hurt. Katsumi didn't want to start anything, so she kept it to herself.
That weekend, the class planned to go to the mall. It would be Momo, Ochaco, Tsuyu, Kirshima, and Katsumi in one group, while the others split themselves up. They woke up early that day to get ready. Training wouldn't be until later that evening, so the class wanted to spend as much time having fun. The mall they were going to was 4 stories high, with miniature rides inside. Everyone dressed comfortably, since they were going to spend all day walking. Everyone met up in the common room.
"Let's walk to the bus together, and I will discuss rules." Iida, the class rep, states. Katsumi knows that Iida is going to make them be on their best behavior because they are representing UA and Mr. Aizawa. As the group walks to the bus stop, Katsumi looks around to see who's all going. She's surprised to see Bakugo there, especially since he seems like the type to not want to hang out with the rest of class 1-A.
They reach the bus stop, and wait for the bus to arrive. Iida tells them to behave on the bus and to not be rowdy. The bus arrives and they all pile in. The ride is short and before they know it, the class arrives at the mall.
Katsumi, Momo, Tsu, Ochaco, and Eijiro group up and walk inside together.
"What's the first stop you guys?" Tsuyu asks.
"I want to go to "Combat and Workout Plus"!" Eijiro says. The girls all look at each other and laugh.
"Of course you do, Eijiro." Momo says. They all decide to take turns going to each store, to be fair. Iida instructed them to meet up for lunch at 12; it's 8:30 right now. The group heads to the directory to know where they need to go to find "Combat and Workout Plus".
As time nears 12, they walk out of "Mizu's Wildlife Supply" and head to the food court. Katsumi excuses herself and heads to the bathroom. As she is walking in, she spots Bakugo still in a nearby store. If he doesn't hurry up, he's going to make Iida mad. Instead of using the bathroom, Katsumi walks inside the store Bakugo is in.
"Bakugo, you can look later. It's nearly 12, and Iida wants us at the food court on time."
"Tch. I don't care what the nerd said. I'm still looking." Bakugo continues to look around.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn all the time? You can come back afterwards."
"Don't tell me what to do, or I'll..."
"Kill you. Yeah I've heard it plenty of times." Katsumi interrupts Bakugo's sentence. He stands there annoyed and stares at Katsumi.
"Don't interrupt me again. You're really annoying." Bakugo rolls his eyes and moves away from Katsumi.
"Bakugo don't be an ass."
"I shouldn't have to be if you just left me alone." Katsumi rolls her eyes, and turns around to leave.
"Why do you care about me going with you?" Bakugo asks suddenly.
"I don't care if you come with me or not. I just don't want to upset Iida. He takes his job as being class rep seriously, so I don't want someone like you to bring him down." Not only is she doing it for Iida, she wants to get closer to Bakugo, to know what makes him tick. She studies Bakugo closely.
"Come or don't. I really don't care." Katsumi heads for the door, when Bakugo stops her.
"Wait, I'm coming dumbass." Bakugo walks past Katsumi and towards the food court, leaving Katsumi behind. "Why tell me to wait if you're just going to go ahead of me?" Katsumi thinks and follows Bakugo.
