The Start of a New Era (Koji Koda x OC)

The Truth

Mika stood at the front of the school and looked around; she noticed no security guards near the door and on the school grounds. Mika placed her hand on her chin, "I guess U.A. is confident about their security." she said.

"That seems to be the case." Mika panicked at the sudden voice. When Mika turned her head to the back, she saw Momo, making her sigh in relief, "Apologies if I startled you." she said. Mika shook her head before turning to Momo with a smile, "It's fine, Momo." she said.

Momo noticed the bow in Mika's hair, "I believe you were looking at a bow similar to that at the mall. Did you go back and buy it?" she asked. Mika jumped a bit and looked away, "N-No... a friend bought it and gave it to me as a gift." she said lowly.

Momo nodded, "So that's what Koda was doing at the mall." she said. Mika looked at Momo, shocked, "You knew he was there!" she shouted. Momo nodded, "Sorry I didn't tell you, but I thought it would be cute if he gave you the bow without being caught." she said.

Momo smiled, "You two would make an adorable couple." she continued. Mika blushed before covering her face with her hands, "Not you too..." she said.

Momo giggled a bit before looking at Mika, "I'm not trying to force it, but I was wondering about the question Mina said. So... I would like to ask about it too." she said. Mika uncovered her face and looked away, "Um... well..." she said lowly.

Momo smiled a bit before holding her pinky out, "How about this? I believe the term is called a pinky promise." she said. Mika looked at Momo, "You tell me your feelings about him, and I won't tell anyone; does that sound fair?" she asked.

Mika was hesitant, but she slowly wrapped her pinky around Momo's pinky, "Alright..." she said lowly. Momo smiled after they undid their pinkies, "Now then... do you like Koda that way?" she asked. Mika took a deep breath and exhaled before nodding, "Yeah... I do." she said.

Momo nodded, "What makes you like him?" she asked. Mika looked at Momo, "A lot of things..." she said, "His strength, his care for others, his kind nature not only to animals but to people."

Mika ruffled some of her hair, "When I'm sad, he's there to cheer me up. I'm not sure if he's a huge fan of his voice, but I think it's cute and suits him." she continued.

Mika rubbed her arm, "I know that some people prefer a man who looks hot or has a lot of money, but I'm one of those people who prefers guys with nice personalities, and... Koda has the things I expect." she said.

Momo nodded, "Do you fear that he might reject you?" she asked. Mika looked at the ground before nodding, "I think about it every time." she said, "It always pains me to stand next to him all the time we've spent together."

Mika grabbed a bit of her hair, "I want to confess to him so badly, but I fear that he'll reject me." she continued. Mika let go of her hair and frowned, "I also fear for our friendship... because if he doesn't feel the same way, then he'd stop hanging out with me." she said.

Momo smiled a bit before placing her hands on Mika's shoulders, surprising her, "You shouldn't worry about your friendship with him." she said, "Even if he doesn't feel the same way, I believe you'll still be friends with him. Think about the positive side, not the negative side."

Mika slightly smiled at Momo, "Thanks, Momo." she said. Momo nodded, "Do you plan on telling him how you feel about him?" she asked. Mika looked down, "I do... but I'm not sure when." she said. Momo smiled, "No need to rush things; take your time." she said.

Momo got her hands off Mika's shoulders and walked up the stairs, "Let's go to class before we're late." she continued. Mika nodded, "Right!" she shouted before walking up the stairs with Momo.
