Chapter 3 - Weaker.

I'm in the corner watching you kiss her;
I'm right over here why can't you see me?

Chapter 3 - 'Weaker'

Day 19

Ignoring Midoriya should have become "easier" as days gone by, but obviously Aizawa didn't want to make things easy for me and kept pairing us together for training every single time for the whole week and a half. Needless to say, we failed miserably every time because we couldn't even look at each other. Aizawa scolded us repeatedly because of our lack of communication and kept telling us how embarrassing it was to watch the two of us work together. Still, he kept pairing us together even if we made no attempt to talk to each other. I honestly had no clue of what he thought he would accomplish with that.To be honest, it's not like Midoriya didn't try, he actually did a couple times at the beginning of the week but gave up just a couple days later.
That was what I wanted, what Endeavor wanted, but it surely was something horrible to go through.
Just to make it all harder for me, I had to watch Uraraka be all over him the whole time.
After only a week, they seemed to have grown even closer and it honestly made me sick to the core. Yaoyorozu kept sitting with me for lunch, she even brought Jiro along a few times. It was fine, I guess: their presence didn't bother me that much, they usually talked on their own and didn't bother to make me part of whatever they were talking about. It almost felt like they weren't even there most of the time.

"I saw that coming. It was clear as day that they liked each other!" - Jirō said sitting in front of Yaoyorozu who was sitting down next to me.

"I know, but I honestly never though he'd ask her out so soon. He's such a sweet innocent boy, he definitely doesn't seem the kind of guy to rush in this sort of things"

"That's the whole point! Hagakure said it was her the one who asked him out...I never thought I'd be saying this but: that girl sure has some guts!" - Jirō chuckled before starting to eat her rice.

"Hagakure and Ojiro are dating?" - I intruded in their stupid chitchat. They seemed to get along well during training and most of the class spent time teasing them. I was a newbie to the world of love, but I could see that they were interested in each other. Though all my peers seemed to enjoy talking about other people's love life, how Yaoyorozu and Jirō could find that so interesting was still a mystery to me. I definitely didn't find it interesting and it was obvious that I was the strange one in their eyes. Wasn't love something private?
They both looked at me like I had suddenly grew a second head.

"No. Why you're asking that?" - Jirō asked confused.

"Because you just mentioned her" - I shrugged biting on a piece of meat.

Yaoyorozu frowned lightly and shook her head sighing.

"Midoriya and Uraraka started dating, Todoroki-kun. Hagakure just happens to be the one who told Jirō that Uraraka asked Midoriya out." - Momo explained calmly.

I hummed as an answer and shifted my attention back to my food which looked oddly unappetizing as what was left of my heart shuttered into pieces.
It really took a shorter amount of time than I thought.

"I didn't think you'd be interested in class's gossip Todoroki" - Jirō said hiding a smirk.

"I'm not. I don't care what any of you do." - I answered getting up and picking up my tray of barely touched food. I was hungry just a couple moment prior but then I was just feeling sick.

I could hear them saying something as I walked away but I couldn't really make out their words as all around me just turned into a loud buzzing noise.
I could see Midoriya smiling at Uraraka from the corner of my eyes and I just walked faster out of the canteen bumping into someone's shoulder on the way out. I didn't even bother to apologize.

'I don't know how to deal with this. I don't want anyone to see me for what I am, I don't want anyone to know that I've feeling. I don't want these feelings; they only make me weaker.'

I quickly pushed my books into my bag and slammed it over my shoulder walking out of class wanting nothing more than being out of that building.

"Bro, where are you going?" - Kirishima asked as I walked past him.
I ignored him.

"Oi Icyhot! The fuck are you doing?" - Bakugō said grabbing me by the collar of my shirt - "Don't ignore shitty hair!"

"Let go of me immediately!" - I spat.

"Or what? What are you going to do bastard?" - he asked nearing his free hand to my face as little explosions went off.
I pushed him off and activated my ice quirk refraining myself from piercing his skin with the new freshly made ice and just created an ice wall to divide the two of us.
I clenched my hand around my bag's strap tighter and rushed out of school. Endeavor was going to know I threw a tantrum at school and he was obviously going to be pissed but I didn't care. I just wanted to get home and be able to break down. If Fuyumi would have seen me cry it was fine. If that bastard of my father would have seen, it was fine too. He could beat the shit out of me, he could go on till I spit blood on the floor, it would have been nothing compared to the ache I was feeling in my chest at the moment. He could even have killed me if he wanted to. I didn't care, I was tired to keep living only for Fuyumi.
