Winter: Bakugo X Oc

Chapter 28

"Dad?" I approached him. It was finally summer break, and Mina texted me with a cool idea.

"Yes?" He looked up from some paperwork.

"Can we use the pool?" I don't really like the pool, but if Mina wanted to swim, then I would swim with her. I can't really swim but I don't want her to know that.

"Who is we?" He sighed.

"The girls, of course."

"As long as you don't kill anybody, then sure." He looked back at the paperwork in front of me.

That was yesterday. Now, the girls and I were all in the girls' locker room, changing into our UA swimming uniforms.

"Looking good, Izumi." Mina threw her arm around my shoulders.

"Not as good as you~" I flirted back. We both giggled.

"Come on, guys." Yaomomo called as over. We all headed to the pool area. The guys were already there.

We started stretching as Denki, Mineta, and Midoriya entered the pool area. I was surprised to see that most of the guys had abs. I'm not saying that I thought they weren't fit. I was just a little surprised.

We all got in the pool and played water volleyball. I'm just glad the water is shallow. I giggled, this was really fun. I love hanging out with everyone. It was kinda hard for me to ignore the guys' miserable cries for help.

Weren't they at the pool to train? Wait, when did Bakugo come here!? My face erupted into blush. That's when the ball hit me right in the face.

"Izumi!" Mina swam over to me.

"Izumi, are you okay? I'm so sorry!" Jirou apologized.

"It's okay, Kyouka." I said. We all got out of the pool, taking a break.

"What made you so distracted?" Hagakure asked.

"N-nothing!" My face began to heat up again. Mina side eyed me.

"The guys are doing races!" Yaomomo said. We all got up and walked over.

"Ida. Why don't you let us help you out with this?" Yaomomo asked for us.

"Yes, please." The blue haired guy agreed.

"Izu-chan!" Maho jumped ran to the pool area.

"Ma-chan? What are you doing here?"

"I heard... that... you were... going to be at... the pool.." she panted.

"Did you run all the way here from your apartment?"

"Yeah... how do you do that every day?" She panted.

"I run every day. It's built-up endurance." I giggled.

"Well. I was worried about you..." she frowned.

"Why would you be worried?" Ochaco asked.

"Cause she ca-" I covered her mouth with my hand.

"Because I get hot easily. She didn't want me to pass out." I said nervously. Maho looked at me, confused. I took my hand away and did a shushing motion.

'Tell me later.' She mouthed to me. I nodded. She took one glance at Todoroki, and her face turned red.

Then the races started. The top three were Bakugo, Midoriya, and Todoroki. We all took a small break.

"Izumi!" Sero called out.

"Hm?" I turned in his direct.

"Catch!" He served a ball to me. I didn't have time to catch it and... it hit me. I fell back into the water with a giant splash. Shit... this water is deep.

I tried to recreate a swimming motion, but I just ended up panicking. This is why I don't go to pools. Fuck, this us embarrassing.

"Izumi!" Maho gasped. Midoriya and Tsu glanced at each other.

"Why are you guys freaking out?" Ida asked.

"She can't swim!" Maho shouted. Then, there was another splash.

"What was that?" Mineta asked.

"Bakugo... jumped in..." Kirishima spoke up.

I closed my eyes. I must've passed out because I couldn't hear anything. My eyes wouldn't open. Like they were glued shut. I do remember feeling something grabbed me, though.

I gasped for air, spitting out all the water I swallowed. I looked around at my class. They were all staring at me, worriedly.

"Izumi.." Maho hugged me immediately. I hugged her back.

"Izumi, why didn't you tell us you couldn't swim? We could've done something else..." Mina said.

"I told Midoriya and Tsu." I said.

"You should've told everyone! You fucking idiot!" Bakugo yelled at me.

"I didn't say anything because it's embarrassing! I'm 15 and I don't know how to swim!" I exclaimed. Everyone looked taken aback by my outburst.

"Izumi... I'm sorry..." Sero spoke up.

"It's not your fault, Hanta." I sighed.

"Izu-chan. Let's go to the infirmary." Maho said. I nodded, and she helped me up.

We left the pool area and headed to Recovery Girl's office. Fortunately, Recovery Girl was there and did a little check-up on me.

Fuck... that was embarrassing...
