❝ three ❞

The entire day went by in almost slow motion for Ochaco. She knew people around her were learning or talking, but it seemed as if she was moving way faster than everyone else. She blocked everything out the entire day, locked in her mind with her thought's. She was hoping the day would hurry up and end, but alas, lunch rolled around and Ochaco was still bummed out.

"Uraraka? Want some of my rice?" Tsu asked Ochaco, trying to brighten her spirits. Ochaco sighed and shook her head slightly. "No thanks Tsu...thank you though.." Hagakure shook her head, though nobody could see this, and slammed her hands on the table, causing everyone to look over at her in surprise.

"Uraraka, that's enough! I'm tired and done with you being all mopey and sad ALL DAY! Tell us what's the matter!" Hagakure exclaimed. All the girls seated at the table turned their attention over to Ochaco. She hated being the center of attention, so she waved her hands in front of her face, saying "N-No, it's really nothing that I-I wanna talk about.."

Mina looked over at everyone and frowned. "Guys, it was my fault. I said something insensitive to Uraraka last night..and it seemed to have affected her greatly, which wasn't my intention, but I'm really sorry Uraraka.." Ochaco looked over at Mina and placed a fake smile on. "It's fine Mina...what you said was true anyway..just caught me by surprise."

At this point, everyone except for Tsu and Momo who had been filled in on the situation this morning, was confused. Jiro spoke up. "So there's something going on between you two, that's making Uraraka feel this way?" Mina nodded.

"Well TELL US!" Hagakure yelled, causing a few other students from different tables to eye them. Ochaco sighed, and looked down at her food, stirring it around in her plate. "It's just my feelings are in crazy places right now...and I'm confused as ever. Love is a confusing concept, am I right?" Ochaco said, muttering that last part as she didn't mean to say it out loud.

Hagakure grinned. "Love you say?! This is about a crush then! OOoo spill the details!" Ochaco jumped in her seat, her face red. "W-What?! It's not a crush, I don't even know anything about the topic! Why would you say that, we are just friends!" Ochaco spoke frantically, her hands covering her ever so red cheeks.

"Our dear Uraraka here is confused on her feelings for Midoriya." Mina said so that only the girls at the table would hear. Hagakure squealed, and Momo smiled. "Izuku? Well that's expected. You two hang out all the time and are fairly close. He did say his hero name would be Deku because of you, did he not?" Momo said, stuffing some sushi in her mouth after she was done speaking. Ochaco looked at Momo in disbelief, her face rivaling Kiri's hair. "W-Well, I mean y-yeah, but that doesn't mean anything!"

Tsu turned to Ochaco and patted her shoulder. "Ribbit, if you don't like him, then why are you reacting like this?" Mina and Hagakure smirked and giggled, while Ochaco just sighed. "Well...lately my feelings have been all over the place and he just won't get out of my head."

Mina, Momo, and Jiro smiled empathetically. "Exactly. That's called catching feelings sweetheart." Mina replied, booping Ochaco's nose. Ochaco frowned, catching herself looking over at Izuku. He was sitting at another table across from them, with all the other boys. They seemed to be talking about hero costume designs, from what she could make out.

Ochaco groaned and put her head on the table, muttering, "Maybe I am catching feelings."

Mina grinned. "You need to tie him down NOW Uraraka. Tell him how you feel!!" Ochaco groaned once more, keeping her head on the table. "How would one even do that?" She asked. Ochaco didn't even know if Izuku felt the same, which he probably didn't. Why would he? These doubts ran through her mind at a 100 miles per hour.

Mina sighed, knowing exactly what Ochaco was thinking. "Uraraka, don't doubt yourself, okay? What about singing him a song? Your really good at singing, I heard you that time you were singing in the shower." Ochaco turned red, whipping her head up. "You heard that?!"

Mina laughed. "Yeah, I sure did! And it sounded like it was meant for a special someone." She said, wiggling her eyebrows. "Gahhhh Mina stop!" Ochaco was getting more embarrassed by the minute.

"Come on, it sounded so pretty. Oo! Sing it to him on the beach this Friday! You play the ukulele right Uraraka?" Hagakure said excitedly. Ochaco smiled a bit. "Well..yeah, but I haven't played in a while..what if I'm rusty?"

Mina hopped out of her seat. "Then you'll practice with us until your fingers bleed!" She said this with a grin, but Ochaco had a fearful look on her face. "Um..alright.."

****

Classes had ended, finally, and Izuku was walking back to the dorms with Iida. They were currently in the middle of a conversation about the beach trip they were having this Friday.

"Alright, well I'm going to need to stop at the mall for a few things. I need a swimsuit, and some sunscreen, oo and some sunglasses." Izuku mumbled, his hand by his chin in his iconic way. Iida smacked the back of Deku's head lightly, knocking him out of his muttering trance. "S-Sorry, was I doing it again?" Izuku asked sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.

Iida smiled. "Yes, and you need to relax. I of course appreciate that kind of drive during classes, but this is a time to relax, is it not?" Midoriya chuckled, and nodded. "Yeah, your right. Anyway, I need to go to the common room, told Uraraka I would meet her there after class." Deku said, smiling softly at the thought of her.

Iida noticed this, and thought something. "Midoriya, if I may ask, do you have romantic feelings for our classmate Uraraka?" Deku froze in his tracks. He was completely shocked and didn't know how to respond, so he did the best thing his body was capable of.

"W-W-Whatt? Whywouldyousaysuchathingthatisntitatall!" Deku said frantically, waving his hands in front of him in a flustered manner.

Iida frowned. "I'm only asking. You do think highly of her, do you not? You chose your hero name because of her, remember? I would only think this was because of what she said to you on the first day."

Deku's face was completely red, and his mind was racing. He had never thought of Uraraka that way..those thoughts had never been introduced into his mind. But something inside him made him pause. Deku did think highly of her. He thought she was the most amazing girl ever. She was so pretty, inside and out, and pushed/encouraged him to go beyond his capabilities. She was one of the first people to believe in him.

Deku waved good-bye to Iida. "I need to go...I'll talk to you later."

Iida smiled, and waved goodbye, watching as his best friend run off towards the dorm.

"He's so dense."
