You Had It Coming

Chapter 8: That'll Teach 'Em

~Jiro

Even after many days since Midoriya told the class what All Might did, it still felt like he had just said it. Many people were questioning whether or not becoming a hero was something they still wanted to do. A week ago, Bakugo disappeared. Todoroki, also, disappeared on the same day Midoriya did. Not to mention, Todoroki's eldest sister disappeared only a few days ago. Even I was questioning if I should stick with U.A. But even then, being a villain probably wouldn't be something I'd do. I was snapped out of my thoughts by an enthusiastic Momo;

"Jiro! How's your morning?" She leaned over my desk.

For just a second, I caught myself looking at her cleavage.

"Damn, I am just as bad as Mineta."

"Um, i-it's OK I guess." I shrugged. "What about you?"

"Great!"

Even though Momo was an enthusiastic person, this was a bit out of character.

"Is something bothering you?" I asked.

"Nothing at all, why?"

"Momo, I can tell when something is up." I sighed.

Her expression immediately changed from one of joy, to one of sadness.

"Jiro, I don't want to leave." She said, her voice cracking.

I got out of my seat and hugged her.

"What happened?" I asked.

"My... My parents, they want me to quit U.A. so I can train to inherit the family business." She sobbed.

"Just say no." I said.

"You don't understand, I can't say no."

Suddenly, I felt my own warm tears starting to spill.

"Momo, you can't leave." I cried.

"Jiro..." She whispered.

Aizawa walked into the room with a confused expression.

"What's the meaning of this?" He asked.

"Sorry sir." I wiped my tears and took a seat.

Momo walked to the front of the class. Everyone's eyes trained on her. She took a deep inhale.

"I have bad news." She said, holding back tears. "I have been forced to leave U.A. as of my parents wishes."

Everyone was silent. A single tear rolled down her face. Suddenly, the class broke down sobbing. It was understandable, after already loosing three of our students.

"That isn't fair, I don't wanna loose anyone else." Ururaka shouted.

"Who am I gonna perv-" Mineta started, but was interrupted by killer stairs from the whole class.

"This sucks." Ashido banged a fist on her desk.

"As of tomorrow, I will no longer be a student at U.A. highschool." Momo said, her voice quivering.

She silently took a seat.

"That's-" Mr. Aizawa's voice cracked.

"Mr. Aizawa!?" Everyone said in surprise.

A tear dropped from the tip of his nose and landed on the ground.

"I am aware this past month has been hard to deal with." He nodded. "But loosing people is part of being a he-"

"What's the point of being a hero, when all they ever do is use their fame to sweep their crimes under the mat!?" I screamed, cutting off Aizawa.

"Jir-" Aizawa said.

"I quit! I resign from U.A. highschool as of today!" I interrupted again.

I stood up and threw my desk to the ground, before storming out of the class and down the hall. I stopped down the stairs and threw open the entrance door. I didn't want to lose anyone else, especially not Momo. Momo meant so much to me, she was one of the few reasons I remained at that school.

~Momo

Everyone wore a shocked face, until, suddenly, everybody started crying again.

"Now we are loosing two people." Ururaka cried.

I felt responsible for Jiro leaving, which made me feel more down. I hated my parents. The second I get my hands on that company, I'm going to nose dive it into the ground. That'll teach them. Or maybe I should ignore them. Maybe I should become what is much worse than a hero, in their eyes anyway. Maybe I should be a villain. It would drag the company name through the mud.

~Izuku

I sat on the bar, winging my legs. Kacchan sat across from me on a stool.

"Guys!" Kaminari shouted as he rushed into the room, our of breath.

"How was school?" I asked.

"I have two new candidates." He said.

We both raised our eyebrows.

-----

It had been a week since we found out about Momo and Jiro. We decided to go for Momo first. We left it for a week, because, logically, the longer Momo spent with her parents, the more she grew to resent them. Then, we'd use Momo to convince Jiro, seeing as Jiro obviously had a crush on her. It was the perfect plan. So, that night, Kacchan, Todoroki and I headed out. Our raincoats served as a barrier between our skin and the incessant rain. Due to the weather conditions, we made our way towards Momo's property. We climbed over the fence and quickly ran across her property. As we stood under a tree, I took out my phone.

'Momo, come outside.' I texted Momo.

'What? Who is this?' Momo replied.

'Izuku.'

'I'm coming.'

A few minutes later, the front door opened and Momo stepped outside. She turned on the porch light. Slowly, the three of us walked into the light. She widened her eyes as she saw us. We made our way onto her porch.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

I took a seat on one of the chairs that were on her porch. She, as well as the others, followed my lead.

"We want you to join us." I said, propping one of my legs on top of the other.

"Join you?"

"Don't tell me it hasn't crossed your mind." I chuckled.

"It has." She nodded. "But I'm unsure."

"Think of it as a way to show your parents they don't control you." Todoroki said.

"Of course you'd be the expert in that field, wouldn't you Half 'n' Half?" Kacchan snorted.

"Let me get my stuff." Momo nodded.

"And a raincoat." I nodded.

A couple moments later, she emerged from from the door with a suitcase.

"Please tell me you have a car." Momo sighed.

"Around the corner." Todoroki nodded.

"Let's go." She replied
