Clenching and unclenching his fist, Shoto clamped his teeth. Images from when his arm was suddenly engulfed in flames flashed in his head 'I used my left side, It's no good... I'll just end up doing what that stupid father of mine wanted me to do.' walking away from the crowd of students, he found himself alone in a hallway.

"Sho-kun!!" Shoto stopped in his track, immediately recognizing the voice, turned his body to face the pinkette. He couldn't understand why he wasn't mad at her considering the fact that she managed to win a place higher than him in the obstacle race and had managed to put him in a tough situation during the cavalry battle.

Watching the girl walked closer until a distance where they can speak to each other without shouting, he waited for her to continue "Are you okay?" The question caught him off guard, Shoto was expecting some sort of scolding about being too violent towards Izuku.

Staring at her face scrunched up in worry, he clenched his fist 'That's right I've been thinking too much about her, I didn't realise it before but Sakura is distracting me from my true goal. I need to put up a distance between us'

Shoto never really know how the girl could show him his own different personalities that he himself didn't even know he have it, one of it being a caring person. They have just met for a few months and she had successfully gotten closer to him than any other person he knows. And he hates it, he seems so......weak. He bit his tongue for some pain to snap himself out of his thoughts.

Groaning mentally, Shoto forced himself to be the distant guy that he was before they met each other. "I'm fine, thank you for caring Haruno-san" said girl furrowed her eyebrows after hearing him talking to her formally, the name 'Haruno' rolling out of his tongue seemed to be a bit strained. "Shoto what's with the formalities?" Sakura chuckled, trying to ease the tension between them. After a few minutes of silence with the boy giving her cold gaze, she frowned, she was about to say something but was stopped by the boy replying her.

"Haruno-san please call me Todoroki."

The reply made her throat goes dry, forcing herself to stay composed, she speak out "What? Shot-"

"I insist for you to do so. It's quite annoying by how you addressed me. I've got more important things to do, excuse me." saying this, the boy walked away, unaware of the pained expression on the girl's face.

Sakura stared at the figure of the two-toned boy walking further and further away, unable to make out what had happened, she kept her gaze at nothing in particular, his words still stuck in her head, especially the all too familiar words...

"You're annoying" Sasuke's voice rang in her ears. She could feel tears were beginning to well up in her eyes. Not wanting to cry over something so trivial, the girl blinked away her tears.

'It's okay...maybe he's just having troubles. You know... sometimes people didn't think straight when they're bothered.'

'Yeah...'

She lets inner's words sunk in, glancing towards where Shoto once stood, Sakura forced a smile before walking off to the opposite direction.

"What do you want to talk about?" Izuku asked the boy standing in front of him. Receiving no answer, he fidgeted nervously. "Uhh... if we don't hurry, the cafeteria will probably be really crowded". He gulped, feeling the boy's gaze on him.
