Between You and Me

Chapter 6: The Secret

Chapter 6: The Secret

It was morning, though not just any morning. It was the morning of the Sports Festival, with the cheers of the crowd being nearly too much for the Classes of 1-A.

"We're in the freaking locker room, how are we even able to hear them from here?!" Mineta exclaimed as Kaminari shrugged.

"I don't blame them in the slightest, I'm hyped!" Mina exclaimed as she jumped for joy.

Momo sighed as she looked at the still closed gates. Momo wasn't usually the one to be nervous or anything like that, but she was getting some pre-game shivers. Kyoka gave her a nudge along with a thumbs up allowing her to breath easier.

Momo then caught sight of Katsuki putting a smile on her face as she approached him.

"Katsuki, I wish you the best of luck at the Sports Festival. I'll be right there in the finals with you." Momo said challengingly as Katsuki didn't even turn in her direction.

He walked over to his locker without a single word to her. Momo looked at the boy with a confused expression as Izuku walked over.

"He's as serious as ever right?" Izuku said as Momo looked toward the shorter boy, Izuku Midoriya he had a good quirk with massive drawbacks but a resolve not matched by many.

He must have some history with Katsuki, judging from his comment and their other interactions.

"O-oh I mean, I'm Izuku or Midoriya whatever you prefer!" Izuku said nervously as Momo chuckled.

"I'm Momo Yaoyorozu if you didn't already know." Momo said as she held a hand toward Izuku. Izuku shook her hand as Shoto walked over.

"Making alliances?" He said as both of them look at the boy. Katsuki also turned his head in their direction. "Now, All Might's got his eye on you. I won't pry into why that is but," Shoto said as his eyes narrowed into a glare.

"I will beat you." Shoto said as he nodded toward Momo as he walked toward the opening gate.

Momo looked toward Izuku as he clenched his fist. There was a weird smile on his face as if he was practicing a grin. Momo looked toward Katsuki again as he walked toward the gate without even sparing her a glance. Momo clenched her own fist as she walked toward the gate as well. Something was off about Katsuki today.

She was going to get to the bottom of it.

Katsuki hated the look on Shoto's face. So passive, as if this win was already his. It pissed him off, but not as much as when he was talking to Ponytail. Being so damn friendly, it was as if he was practically begging for an ass-kicking. She just went along with it too. Katsuki tried to shake off these thoughts but it made him feel a little sick and he hated every second of it. He would just crush them both, Deku too. Hell, he'll beat them all, that should take the feeling away.

Katsuki found his eyes going toward Momo.

Hopefully.

"Your class representative is... Katsuki Bakugo!" Midnight yells as Katsuki huffs.

He walks up to the podium as the students of the classes clamor.

"It's probably because he was number 1 in the entrance exams." Izuku said as another girl gave him a cross look. "You mean the hero course exam." The girl said sourly as Izuku just blinked at her.

Katsuki looked at the crowd before he leaned into the mic.

"As much as I would love to say it's crush or be crushed. I'll win!" Katsuki growls into the mic as the crowd groans.
