Chapter 1. Homeless Uraraka part 1

Ochaco's Pov
Ah the smell breeze of a new day. Hopefully today will be a good day! As I got up from inside of my tent, I had placed my hand on my forehead and looked up at the bright sky. The trees around me swayed beautifully with the wind. Nature is sure calming. I made sure my school uniform didn't had any dirt which I'm glad it didn't.  My eyes glanced right back at the sky with my hand blocking the sun,I mentally thought to myself, 'Look  at the beautiful sky, well see you later mom and dad. Take care of the house while I'm gone, okay? I'll be back.'

Hello ,my name is Ochaco Uraraka.
I haven't always lived in  a tent. Up until last May I lived with my parents. It was just the three of us but then the accident happen.  After I lost my parents , I began secretly living here on my own. It's not exactly comfortable,but it's alright and it's what I do. Like my motto says,'never give up!'

I walked with my school bag by my side and walked carefully around some rocks,making sure I won't trip and fall down the hill.  As I continue walking down the path I stumbled across a nice but simple house. I looked closely and saw that they had put all of the Chinese zodiacs rocks in order. My eyes were dazzling with joy as I saw the rocks of the Chinese Zodiac. 

'Look at this  mom and dad.'  I examine the small area that surrounded the house.  'Did you know there was a house here? It seems so peaceful and nice. I can't believe they also like the twelve animals of the zodiac.'  I gently touched the rocks and smiled. 

"My word. Do  my eyes deceive me or is there a strange cute girl standing on my porch?" A unknown male spoke as I jumped a little. I noticed that a blonde guy who almost look like cartoon character was leaning against the door with a happy smile. 

I quickly bowed down panicking  and held my school bag against my legs trying to apologize for intruding.  "Oh I'm sorry,I'm sorry I was just looking. I didn't mean to barge in without permission."

The man of the house just chuckle and smile brightly. He seem like a nice person.
"It's alright. I'd just set them out to dry. No harm done, but I find it hard to believe that these silly little things could attract your interest." I look back at the rocks and the unknown stranger who just smoothly touched the decorative rocks with a sad smile.

"No, I really like them. I don't think they're silly at all." I told him honestly while looking at him with a stern face. The older male grabbed one of them and then placed it back. "Yes well...I must admit I'm particularly fond of them myself."

My eyes then went back to the decoratives,I took my time to examine each one of them but then I noticed one of them was missing.
"Oh, but I should've known. You left out the cat." I let out a small sigh,thinking about the story my mom used to read to me.

The blonde male who was taller than me just kept watching me with a surprise face.
"The Cat? Ah, I take it you're referring to the old folk tale of the Chinese zodiac."

I knodded my head for my respond.
"Uh-huh. My mom told it to me when I was little."

Flashback

I laid down all peacefully with my pink pajamas,waiting for mommy to read me my favorite story. I see my mom walking towards with and pulling the blanket closer to me. I smiled widely at my mom,knowing that I'm ready to hear the story once more.

"A long long time ago, God decided to invite all of the animals to a banquet.
He sent out word for all of them to come to his house the following evening, and "don't be late", he said. When the mischievous rat heard the news, he decided to play a trick on his neighbor, the cat. He told the cat that the party was the day after tomorrow.
