"Hello?" You ask quietly while closing the blinds of the window slightly as to you being self conscious about your face.
"Hello, young one. My name is Nezu, but from this day on, you will be expected to call me principal."
"Pardon?"
"You have been officially accepted into U.A from our recommendations! Exciting, right?" The figure behind the screen says playfully while picking up what you assumed to be a cup of tea.
Something was distracting you from listening to what the tiny figure was saying; his features.
"What are you supposed to be?" You ask bluntly before realizing what you had said might have been rude.
Before you could let out a tiny apology, he began screaming as if you had called him old.
"That is rude!"
"I'm sorry," You mumble out quietly before getting cut off by your door opening suddenly.
Startled, you slam down the display of the laptop before a woman welcomes herself in, not forgetting to greet you.

"Oh. Hi Mrs. Chau." You say quietly before closing the blinds of the window you were near completely.
"No need for formalities, dear." Your 'step mother' says while sitting next to you at the tiny desk.
You send a small smile her way before hugging her slightly. She hugs back as you take a moment to breath in the nice aroma she always had.
Your father had met her three months ago. Needles to say, you were attached. She reminded you so much of your mother. Caring and gentle. She had brought out the good in your father.
"How has your day been so far?" She asks, starting small talk.
"Nice I guess. It gets boring here sometimes." You say with a sigh as she giggles softly.
"Why can't you just move in with us?"
She quickly turns on the night lamp before replying.
"Your father and I just started dating three months ago. Why would I move in?" She questions as you quickly tilt your head down in embarrassment.
"I don't know. I just- " You quiet down as the door had been opened again. This time, by a male.
"There you are. I was looking all over for you." The male says softly while staring at the female beside you.
You stand up quickly while bowing in respect before sitting back down. You hide your face in your arms, noticing the lamp was on.
From your father's past mistakes, you were worried. Alarms go off in your head while coming up with the worst scenarios. 'What if he calls me ugly?'
Your thoughts come to a pause before you feel sudden weight on your head, ruffling your hair in the slightest bit. You look up to see your father.
"Hello, sweetheart." He says while giving you one of his great big smiles.
You missed this side of your father.
"Hello father." You smile while giving him a side hug.
He jumps slightly from the new form of affection before turning fully and giving you a hug.
"I was wondering if you girls would like to cook dinner with me." He says while releasing the hug.
"Cook?" You question in disbelief. You barely knew how to microwave a tiny meal.
Needless to say, he probably barely knew how to cook either. You noticed his cooking had improved after he met Chau. He also would ask you to come down and taste his dishes most of the time.
"We'd love to!" Chau responds while grabbing both you and your father's hand, running straight to the kitchen.
You smile brightly before picking up your pace. You were a teenage girl but you felt as if you were a child again.
He was just a father who wanted to change. For the better.
A/n: Hello everyone! Sorry for the long wait. I know this took a big jump from last chapter so I don't know how you will take the changes in this chapter lmao. I think I kind of rushed it. I am trying to learn how to be more descriptive in my fanfictions. Hopefully you enjoy.
(Preview of next chapter)
As the happy 'family' continue their cooking session, a few rings come from the laptop. The caller, absolutely annoyed, calls a few more times before realizing the girl would in no time soon answer his desperate calls.
