I, Jirou Kyoka have a confession to make. I have never had a crush before. All the other girls of class 1-A keep asking who my first crush was. When it was. Was it in preschool? Was it in primary? Was it last year? I never answer. I always just pretend I have something to do, or shift the subject to something else. In truth, I have only just got my first crush. He is beautiful. Amazing. I can't even concentrate properly when I'm around him, which is a problem, as I sit next to him in class. I always try and ignore it, the ache in my heart, but to no avail. I almost always end up staring. His name is Kaminari Denki.
It was a cold, dreary day as I trudged along the road from school to work, the little icecream parlour not far from my house. I don't know what the point is really. Why do I need to go today? I doubt anyone would want icecream on such a wet and wintery day as today. BOY WAS I WRONG! I arrived at the small building, only to almost be knocked to the floor by a large warm hug. "OH THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE, KYOKA!" my colleague, Rin, a small ball of excitement, yelled in my ear.
"Ow. Would you like to yell any louder, Rin, I don't think I quite heard that?"
"S-sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Honestly. You know my quirk means I have extremely sensitive hearing; You could have deafened me! Anyway, what's the problem?"
"There are so many customers! I can't handle them all!"
I roll my eyes at her "No," I said sarcastically, "I didn't think there were any customers at all! This place is only full of people queuing! C'mon, let's get to work." I pulled on an apron and clip my name badge to it. Before long I'm totally bogged down serving people. Not bothering with faces, just serving, serving, serving. That was, of course, until that moment.
"Next." I said, trying not to sound thoroughly done with life.
"One triple chocolate in a cone, please!" I froze. I knew this voice. It sounded like an angel. But what was Kaminari doing here anyway?
His voice jolted me back out of my thoughts. "Excuse me? Did you hear me?"
I turned bright red. "Y-yeah..." I mumbled, getting on with granting his request.
"Ah, thanks. How much will that be?"
"O-oh, on the house, Kaminari. My treat." I mentally facepalmed.
"Huh? You know my- Wait...JIROU!"
"Ow! Why is everyone yelling at me today?"
"Sorry" he scratched the back of his neck apologetically. God he's hot. Wait. NO WAY IN HELL DID I JUST THINK THAT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION WITH HIM! I felt the heat rise to my cheeks. Even more so to what he said next...
"H-hey, Jirou. Will you do me a favour?"
"Er... Sure? What is it?"
"Give me your number." My heart nearly stopped beating.
"W-w-w-what?" I only just managed to stammer. I must be scarlet by now!
"Can I have your phone number?"
"U-um, sure..." He hands his phone to me and I hastily jabbed in my number.

"Here." My heart was racing like a fucking horse race. It was so loud I swear the whole world could hear it.
"Thanks, Jirou! I'll see you around!"
"Y-yeah. B-bye..." A giggle caught my attention. Of course. Rin. I'd forgotten about her.
"Yooou liikee hiiim!" She cooed the words in a sickeningly sweet voice.
"I do-I do not!" I hastily denied it, looking at my watch. "What the hell! It's way past the end of my shift! Why didn't someone tell me sooner? Look, Rin, I gotta dash. I'll be late home! See ya soon, 'kay?"
"Sure."
I practically ran home, through the pouring rain, I was so hasty to get home. I didn't notice my phone buzzing wildly in my pocket...
Hi. I hope you enjoyed my first ever story (well, chapter). How am I doing? Please let me know and comment any grammatical errors if you want. I won't be offended. Just warning you, updates probably won't be regular or ordered. Just whenever, so I apologise in advance for that. I will try and update often and not leave work unfinished. Thanks again!
