Embering Lives

Chapter 5: Competition

Momo wakes up as gracefully as ever as she rises in the morning, she looked over at her clock and slapped both sides of her face to wake herself up as she walked toward her bathroom.

Momo loved her bed with a burning passion, it was definitely a pain in the ass to make but you would never hear her complain about it.

All that she really knew was that she was kinda missing it this morning, however Momo was driven to make it to class early as Class 2-A’s Vice Rep for the second year in a row, she had to be there to greet her classmates when they arrived.

It also helped that she could get some more studying, it definitely didn’t hurt that Bakugo was starting to show up earlier.

Momo has really been enjoying his presence as of late, Bakugo was still mostly well Bakugo but there was something about him that made him appear more mature maybe?

Momo couldn’t put a finger on it but, she knew for a fact she loved it when he smiled.

Bakugo used to be arrogant and hard-headed, he was obnoxiously loud and his style of fighting was far from heroic in her eyes.

Lately Bakugo’s been more respectful, she also secretly loved being challenged by him.

She would never admit but being on the same foothold as Bakugo really got her blood boiling, it’s partly thanks to him that she’d been so willing to become a bit bolder.

With the new year Momo wanted some reinvention now that she had a taste of the school of heroics as well as outside of it, all that she knew was that she loved being kinda rivals with Bakugo she knew that translated to friend and that thought sent her heart soaring.

There were also some other thoughts that had been crossing her mind as she was putting on her school uniform, Momo felt like she had become very comfortable around Bakugo.

A little too comfortable but that was yet another thing she couldn’t help, his eyes were haunting, that beautiful shade of crimson she could feel almost looking through her, the gleam they would get when he’s confident, when they soften everytime he smiles which was more common than usual nowadays.

Bakugo was also very muscular, not that the other boys of her class weren’t it was just she had really gotten to see him, he had scars that she just wanted to trace with her fingers.

They told a story that she just wanted to know, every ripple and defect.

The way the sun just bounces off of him as well, he was practically glowing in the light of the window that right there got her heart racing a bit.

Momo opens the door from her dorm with a blush on her face, what was she thinking about this early?

Damn him for getting her all flustered and she hasn’t even seen him yet, Momo takes a deep breath and shakes the blush away as she walks away from her room.

When she finally makes it to the class she takes a seat and pulls out her notebook jotting some extra details for the homework, she looks toward the window spotting a green haired girl looking around the wall.
 
That was a little weird until she spotted Bakugo walking toward the school as usual, was the girl a stalker of some kind? She looked familiar,

‘That’s Setsuna Tokage from class 2-B right?’

Momo thinks to herself as she watches the girl attempt to ambush Bakugo who clearly didn’t care.

They both began to talk together normally with a few laughs coming from both parties, they were sticking together kinda closely weren’t they?

Momo leans a bit forward watching them enter the school before she leaned back,
