Chapter 3

I'm doing this for mom not anyone else. I'll study hard enough, get that qualification and I'll change the business, I'll destroy his sickening schemes. I'll make her happy, that old man has caused enough of damage. If mom's happy then I'm happy, Fuyumi, Natsuo, they can lead a better life too. The rumors are increasing but for now I need to go with that stupid man's 'plans' for me.

Shouto was sitting in the common room, looking through all his course material, amazed by how much he had to learn. After a few more pages, he switched off his laptop, bored by the information.

Is this what I really want? No Shouto, don't think like that, this choice is the right one to make, no turning back.

He needed to relax his mind

He grabbed his sketchbook and immediately got to work, his hands moving before his brain could even register what he was drawing and then voila! It was a................coffee cup? He looked at the vanilla latte on the table and then back at his sketch.

Why did I give her that painting? Why did I even show it to her in the first place? And how did she get the concept of it? But she voiced out my thoughts better than I ever could. She's in business management as well, guess I'll be seeing her often then.

He smiled to himself.

Why am I even happy about that! I hardly know her, calm yourself Shouto.

Just then a boy with green hair and a face dusted with freckles entered the room.
"S-sorry! I'm I-Izuku M-Mi-Midoriya!" He stuttered.
"Sorry again for coming in like that, I didn't think I was getting a roommate already, sorry for barging into the room, I should have knocked and I'm sorry and anyways it's nice to meet you and..." He continued to ramble and mutter while Shouto waited for him to finish.

"And your name is?" Izuku finally asked.
"Shouto Todoroki, nice to meet you." He replied monotonously and then took some markers and colour pencils to fill up his picture.

I'm too lazy to get the paint now, colour pencils will suffice.

Izuku made his way to the room situated on the left.

After some time Shouto returned to his own room, putting stuff in his bag for tomorrow and also putting in his sketchbook.

~The next day~

Alright Momo! New day, time to start fresh. Listen to the lectures, don't get distracted and avoid crowded places, you can get through this!

Momo sighed, she was, admittedly nervous but tried not to let that get to her.
As soon she entered her class, she took a seat at the back quietly, she didn't want to draw attention to herself yet, she had to first scan her surroundings, noticing that there weren't a lot of students.

Well, I suppose it's because of the fact that UA is pretty hard to get into.

There was a short, cheerful brunette girl talking to a boy who was clearly nervous as he kept on stuttering. A boy with blue hair and spectacles was waving his arms in a rather robotic way as he lectured a spiky, blonde haired boy to get his feet off the desk. Then there was a girl with straight, long green hair and round eyes taking to a boy with red spiky hair and a wide toothy grin, the class was scattered with a couple more students.

This looks like quite the cheerful batch. Counting the others, there are around 12, with myself included there's 13 and with...

She heard the door slide open, sure enough it was him, the mop of white and red hair was a clear enough indication.

With Todoroki, 14. So 14 students in total. Not too much thankfully.
