As soon of the Sports Festival was over, students were given a week off to recuperate. The whole week, U.A. students were treated like celebrities, mostly me since I won. Now, I see myself as a humble girl, so I don't like bragging about anything. So when people congratulate me for my win, I just say it was a stroke of luck. I sigh, and drop into my couch, trying to take a nap. But as soon as my butt sits in the couch, I get a message from Todoroki. It read: "Hey Noelle. Are you free this afternoon? I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me later." I reply that I am free, and would love to go with him. I smile, and look at the time. He said to meet him at six o'clock. "Hm... I think I have time for a nap..." I say, and pass out.

A little later, I hear my alarm went off, and I look at my phone. It was already 6:00. "Crap!" I scream, and scramble around the house to get myself ready. I ended up running out of the house with wet hair and a mishmash of clothing. I arrive at the park, and see him waiting for me. "I'm so sorry! I was sleeping, and I didn't hear my alarm go off! And I had to rush to get ready, and...and...yeah." I say. "It's fine. I don't mind waiting." He says to me, and pats my head. A light blush lights up my face, but I don't protest. In fact, it felt kinda nice, being pet like this. "So, is this like a...date?" I asked. "Not really, but if you want to call it that, that's fine." He says. I nod. "So, what are we doing?" I ask again. "Just going to get some food. Maybe something simple." He tells me. "Oh! How about a Korean barbecue place?!" I asked him. "Hm. I guess that sounds good. Do you know any places?" He says, and takes my hand. My blush slightly intensifies, but I lead him to the place I was thinking of. "Noelle? I didn't expect to see you here." I hear a familiar voice, and look at Noa behind me. "Noa. Hi. What are you doing here?" I ask her. "I was going to eat with Seryu and her friend. Are you on a date?" She inquired, almost sounding as if she was teasing me. "Y-Yes... I am." I tell her. "How about we all eat together?" She suggests. "No." Todoroki says defensively, and pulls me closer to him. Once again, my blush gets even redder. "Um, I guess not. Sorry Noa." I say, and we walk into the barbecue place. We sit down, and order some food. It arrives right away, and we start to cook said food.

We ate a lot that night. We ate so much meat and vegetables that night, I didn't feel like going home. But I did. But before that. "I had a good time, Todoroki. Thanks for taking me out." I thank him. "No problem. I just needed some time to work up some courage." He said. "Courage?" I asked. "Yeah. I was planning on visiting my mother, who is in a mental hospital." He says. "Oh. Well, I'm glad I could help you." I smile, and kiss his cheek. "That's just how I thank people. I should be going. See you in school." I says, and run home. On my way, I feel something off. I stop in front of an alley, and walk in to see what was up. My eyes widen by what I see, and I cover my mouth to stop myself from screaming. In the alleyway was a man, dead with glass shards shoved into his body. It was a bloody mess. He looked like a Hero too. I pull out my phone, and call the police to tell them what happened.

Very soon, they arrived, and asked me what happened. "I don't know... I just found him dead like this." I say. "Thank you for letting us know. We'll look into this incident right away. Thank you for your patronage." The officer says. I nod, and leave the scene.
