Drowning. (Shoto Todoroki x OC)

You're the Sun

"You're all going to training camp. I lied" Mr. Aizawa had a scary looking smile as he admitted that everyone was supposed to go to camp anyways. That five that failed: Sero, Mina, Kirishima, Kaminari, and Sato looked like they were about to cry tears of happiness.

"Mr. Aizawa, that's the second time you've lied to us. Won't we lose trust in you?!" The class rep, Iida, whined.

Aizawa didn't care. He knew it would push everyone to do their best. Mizuko agreed with his philosophy no matter how dishonest it was. Mizuko was happy though her two friends, Kirishima and Mina got to go to camp now with her.

"Guys! Since we have off tomorrow, let's all go shopping together as a class!" Hagakure cheered up and down.

Mizuko was torn with the idea. She wanted to spend time with her classmates but she didn't have much of own money. She would get her families little assets but not until her parents were officially sentenced. She didn't feel comfortable asking Aizawa for money yet unless it was for supplies for the apartment. She thought about it and decided she could at least window shop.

"Mizuko! Please tell me you're coming!" Mina whined while grabbing onto her arm.

Mizuko almost lost her balance from her pulling.

"Of course I will come. I'll just be window shopping."

Shoto overheard her comment. He got up from his desk and joined in.

"I feel bad that I won't be able to join you now." Shoto spoke. Mizuko knew that he usually spent his days off with his mom.

Mizuko then had an idea. "How about after an hour or so, you pick me up from the mall and I can meet your mom? I mean only if that's okay. I don't want to invite -"

"Mizuko. You're rambling again. But of course. She's been asking about meeting you. I'll pick you up around 1pm at the mall. Besides, I'm glad you're still going to the mall. I'm happy when I see you with your girlfriends." He kissed her forehead before he left to go to ask Iida a question.

Mizuko was happy to finally meet his mother but she would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous as hell. What if she didn't like her? What if she thought she wasn't good enough? What if she hated the way she looked?

"Oo getting serious to meet the parents?!" Mina nudged her.

"Shush! I just hope she likes me. I'll have to use the last of my money to get her flowers. I can't show up empty handed." Mizuko sighed.

Yaoyorozu overhead her statement.

"Nonsense! Think of tomorrow as my treat!" She proudly boasted.

Mizuko felt weird for Yaoyorozu offering to pay. "It's fine Yaoyorozu.. I'll figure something out."

"No! This is a big deal to be meeting Todoroki's mother! I will make sure you aren't empty handed. Us recommended students have to stick together!"

Mizuko tried calming her down from the scene she was making. She knew she had no chance of fighting her once her mind was made up.

***

Mizuko was texting Kirishima to see where everyone was meeting. She thought they were meeting by the food court. But she was sitting there and found herself sitting alone at a table. She clicked her black vans together while waiting for any signs of her friends and checking her phone. Surely, not every member of her class could be late.

She opened up her message with Kirishima and reread the message. It said by the fountain! She quickly panicked by furiously typing that she was coming and getting up to find the fountain. In her panic, she didn't realize she ran right into a man with a black hood up and fell down.
