" Todoroki has been acting strange here recently." Momo says as we walk down the hallway. She kept on talking about him, almost like I cared at all. All I wanted was for the day to be over and to stop hearing his name.

Jesus it's not even lunch time yet and I already want to pass out. The class I'm in is science and the teacher is tall with a dark silhouette and black hair. Each step she takes she collects the stares of horny teenage boys. Honestly in my opinion she not that attractive but I guess to men her long legs draw them in. A boy in the back of the classroom starts laughing really loud. I turn around to see a boy with spiky red hair laughing so loud it was almost infectious. "Kirishima, be quiet!" Almost in an instant he became quiet snorting through his nose to not make noise. I transition my attention from the dork in the background to the teacher explaining bone development. When almost coincidently the moment I begin to work a piece of paper is thrown at me. My face sinks I become expressionless and mad I turn around and glare at the kids behind me. The red head stares at me as if he's the one who threw it.
"Piss. Off" I say.
He stares at me.
"No. Read the paper." Kirishima replied.
We whisper fight for several more minutes until the bell rings. I get up and grab my stuff and walk out into the hallway. Turning each corner. Left then right then left again as I make my way to the lunch room. Where there is can sink my teeth into some food. I can relax. I can think about going home and not dealing with idiots. Thinking about idiots I forgot to read that paper. I finally reached the lunch room. I grab my food and sit down. Sushi with fried rice and soy sauce. My mouth waters as I sit down next to momo and Todoroki. Theyre talking but I can feel his eyes on me. I reach my hand into my backpack and pull out the piece of paper while I shove sushi in my face.

I need to talk to you. If you would meet me after school in the back by the baseball field.

Damn it. I don't want to be rude but I want to go home right away after school. I guess it couldn't hurt though. I finish my lunch and sit there with my head down listening to momo flirt with Todoroki.

The final bell rings and I grumble knowing that I can't just go back home. I go outside and walk to the back of the school. Following the path to the baseball field. On the way there I see someone watching me. I smile and wave and he looks at me curiously. So I just keep walking. I get this cold tingle in my back and I turn around to see him walking towards me.

I reached the baseball field and sat there waiting for about five minutes until the Kirishima shows up.
"Hey" I say.
"Hey" he says
"So um what did you -" I say as I get cut off.
"Look I told you I needed to tell you something . Look I went to your old school. There was something that I wanted to tell you for a long time, but even now I still scared to tell you."
He looked shy and timid. Like a small child. but bold and confident in his body language.
"For the longest time I wanted to tell you this but now."
This timid boy that seemed scared in his eyes but confident in his pose. Lost in that fear. All you saw always dominance. He walked closer to me. Every step seemed almost suffocating. "I doubt you even remember me." He said
"I mean you're in the same class as me." I reply

"I've known you alot longer than you remember." He said

He has me corned. Slowly I pushed up to the chain link fence.
"So what do you want to talk about?" I stutter.
"I've known you my entire life and you've never even noticed me. Ever since we were kids I've liked you and It was only a couple of days ago that I realized that Im in love with you."
He grabbed my chin pulling my head up and he pressed his lips to mine. His kiss was warm and tender. Until it wasn't. It almost seemed angry. I tried to push him off of me but he had his arms wrapped around me. His hand on my back and the other on my hip. He had the strength of a rock. I couldn't move him no matter how hard I tried. I didn't know what he was doing or what the point of this was.

I didn't know what to do. I started shake when he saw he hugged me almost as to keep me warm. I couldn't tell whether to feel safe or uncontrollably afraid. All I saw in those fleeting seconds were a fist flying into this boys face. He fell over stunned and I fell backwards. I looked up to see that boy who I talked to at lunch. He reached out his hand and it felt warm. I stood up and hugged him scared.
"Thank you" I said
He blushed and I felt warm. Like I was sitting by a campfire. Like all that fear had melted away from the fire. I wanted to hug him even tighter. I didn't want to let go but I didn't want to make it weird. He looked at me with worry. Then turned his attention to the boy.
"Kirishima get the fuck out of here." He yelled

Kirishima stood up and looked at me like a sad puppy then walked away. I was so skittish I started walking away before even saying anything to Todoroki.
