Chapter 14

"I'm sorry for assuming. I just thought clearly we don't get along because all we do is fight or argue. The topic is touchy so I apologize if I did something wrong," I say.

He looks at me confused. Did I say something wrong again?

"The hell are you on about? You didn't do anything."

"Oh."

"Look, whatever is going on in your stupid head is wrong. Don't be like the extras and think all about yourself whether it be negative or positive."

"Uh, okay. But I don't."

"You keep telling yourself that. But in your head, you are probably annoying the hell out of yourself. You care about how you look or if you say something wrong. Sure, you know how to look out for others but at the same time you only worry about yourself."

I thought about it. He is right. Why is he right? I sigh and look at him, smiling slightly.

"You're right. Thank you."

"Of course I'm right. I always am."

There he is again. I just needed to boost his ego a little bit.

I laugh and take a bite of my apple. He's not that much of an asshole but he needs to definitely fix some things first before we can be friends.

I look at him, while chewing my apple, and take into account of his details.

He's genuinely good looking. Like Kirishima but definitely better. His build is super muscular and his style isn't the uniform. I can tell. He seems like on of those bad boys from the movies.

His eyes are a piercing red, like a ruby but a little darker. His cheekbones are sharp and his facial features are more or less sharp as well. His hair is like a pomeranian's, round and fluffy. I wonder if it's soft.

"Why the hell are you staring at me?"

"I'm not! I'm literally staring at your general direction, mostly above you. Calm down your ego a bit."

"I will fucking kill you."

"Mhm," I say, looking away.

I hear Bakugou sigh and walk closer to me, sitting next to me in a crisscrossed position. How rude.

I don't really say anything to him. There's no point. Its either he yells at me or he says something that will make me question my existence.

"This stays between us."

"What?" I ask, looking at him.

"Our conversation today."

"Why?"

"Cause I don't need any extras asking me stupid questions."

"Okay. I won't say anything. Anyway, who would I tell?"

"You're friends with raccoon eyes, aren't you?"

"No. Not really."

"She doesn't fucking shut up about you."

"Good or bad thing?"

"She thinks your cool and shit. I just think you're stupid."

"Thanks for the encouragement." I roll my eyes. "When did you have such a good heart?"

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Just take a joke. Not many people get to see me like this."

"Why?"

"I don't like anyone knowing me."

"Because you're insecure. I get it."

"Not really but yeah. I'm just not the best person so I'm protecting them from me hurting them."

Bakugou nods. He is surprisingly calm. It's nice though. He's more tolerable this way.

"How do you know you're not hurting them now by saying no to their invitations or whatever the hell they offered to you?"

"I do know that it might hurt them, but if I do it now, then they won't get as hurt as they would be in we were friends longer."

"You're only doing this for yourself. Admit it."

"What?"

"You're only doing this because you're fucking scared. You don't want them to hurt you not the other way around. I thought you were supposed to be strong."

And he's back to insulting me- was that an insult?

"I am as strong as I can be. People like you wouldn't understand why I am doing this."

"People like me? The hell?"

"People who bully others. People like you are the reason why I am the way I am and yes, you're right. I'm scared. Are you happy you found a weakness in me?"

"You were bullied?" His tone was annoyed.

"Yes, happy now? You know literally every fucking thing about me."

"Because of your body and that's why your so fucking annoying."

"Yes. Please let it go."

"I don't listen to people like you."

He stood up and left, leaving me alone to eat my lunch. I sigh and eat my apple silently. I sit with my knees against my chest and my chin resting on my knees. "People like you..." Why did he have a different tone when saying that? I said something wrong again, hm? Probably.

I take another bite of my apple and I hear the door behind me open. I jump up, seeing who it was and it was Midoriya. How'd he know I was up here?

"How'd you know I was up here?" I ask, breathing out a bit.

"U-um, Kacchan came stomping his way out of the door, so I figured someone was up here to make him mad."

I roll my eyes. Of course I made him mad.

"Wait, why were you two up here?" He looks at my confused.

"He asked me to talk. That's all."

"May I ask what about?"

"Uh, a few things. Nothing important. All I did was piss him off anyway," I laugh, scratching the back of my neck.

"By the way he seemed, you didn't make him mad. I mean at first when I thought about it, he did look mad but when I looked more into. You did something...something that hurt him."

'People like you.'
