It had been about four years since my mom and dad kept Izuku around for summer vacations. Meeting him when I was 9 years old had been the best and the worst, considering he had basically watched me grow up. That also meant he had to witness me grow out of my asshole phase.

I was about to turn 14 in April and didn't think I needed a babysitter anymore. But I didn't mind Izuku being around; he was pretty cool and nice to talk to. This summer has been the best so far.

Unlike other summers, we had been going out and doing more things since I was older now. Mom thought I could handle myself better now that I started cleaning up my act during the school year. I took his advice and tried to get along with others. I stopped picking fights and being a complete dick. Just like Izuku had asked me to do. It was paying off.

I didn't know why I had listened to him. But he always gave me good advice, and for some reason, I wanted to make him proud of me. He gave me a chance and didn't judge me for my behavior as others did. He only tried to help me.

However nice it was to spend time with me, Izuku would be leaving for college soon. He said that we would still get to see each other during the summers when he comes home, but that he would be far away for the rest of the year.

He finally got accepted to his dream school, not that I will ever understand all that loving school crap. He seemed happy and I was happy for him.

School sucked, but I was still a top student. I was the smartest in my class, of course, everyone knew it. My friends were great and although sometimes they annoy the shit out of me, I wouldn't want anyone else around me. They kept me company when Izuku was gone.

Lately, things had been changing for me though and I didn't like what it was doing to my emotions. My mom said its was called puberty or some shit like that. I had always known I was an Alpha, but lately, my pheromones have been developing and it was a nightmare to handle.

Mom would get pissy with me all the time when I accidentally started releasing my pheromones in public. It wasn't like I could handle it yet. Half the time, I had no idea when I was releasing them. I made a little girl cry because I scared her in the mall with my pheromones. I was only trying to tell her she looked pretty. But my mom yelled at me saying I was 'crowding her' with my scent.

It had been a real pain. But days like this made me happy and helped me forget all this Alpha maturity crap. Izuku wanted to go to the lake today and invited me along since it was technically his job to entertain me over the summer. But things didn't feel forced with him.

He was a good friend to me. Even if he was 18 now and I was only 14. Four years didn't seem too much of an age gap, but he was an adult. I had to remember that somedays when I thought of him as more of a friend than a babysitter. Technically, I was a job for him. But he didn't treat me that way. He treated me like family.
