Downward Spiral (Izuocha)

Chapter 22 Confrontation

Midoriya P.O.V.

I didn't understand why mister Aizawa had stopped me from heading to the dorms, but one thing was for sure, my anxiety had reached new levels. We waited for all of my classmates to leave, some paying no attention, while others met my eyes through their gazes that expressed worry and something that was indescribable, at least to me. As soon as they left, Aizawa closes the door in his always sleepy manner and then goes to sit at his chair, looks at me from top to bottom, gives a tired sigh and asks "Is there anything wrong problem child?" I wasn't prepared for this situation, he would normally scold me for being too reckless or something along those lines, but he showed concern through his question and voice, but kept his composure throughout his body. "Yes mister Aizawa, I don't understand..." He just sighs once again, as if the answer was obvious, and even if it was, I didn't want to face it, and even less bring someone into this.

"Just like Bakugo said yesterday, you didn't give your all. I am your teacher, and apart from teaching, your well being is also my concern, and you aren't looking like you should and would. So I'm going to ask again, is anything wrong?" He spoke without venom in his voice, but rather reassurance, as it would be expected from him, he is very observant and still a hero. I didn't want to answer, and I knew I couldn't lie, nor give him one of the fake smiles I can throw out so cassualy, I had to face him head on and wish for him not to be wrapped up in my head like I am. "I am very tired, and I think I am overdoing myself, so I can barely keep up with myself." A half lie was my best option, and I prayed that he would be too tired to deal with this sort of situation, as it was obvious that he could get answers by any means necessary. "Alright, you can go. But it's okay to ask for help, especially if you lose someone you care and are feeling down. Don't be stupid and reckless problem child, just like I always tell you." He said a bit exhausted and excited the classroom to go to his office. I then made my way to the dorms, to once again start my new routine.

I went straight for my dorm, and luckily, no one was around to question what had happened, we would just be a disturbance to each other at that point, and I already am a disturbance as it is. I grab my homework and do it as fast as possible, only to calm my fatigue later by throwing myself head first into the bed and let my mind flow. This is the moment for the voices and the comments that I heard all throughout my life get stronger as they pierce my brain and heart at the same time. I would normally cry, but so little tears are left that they just wait patiently until the night, and the word useless just keeps ringing in my head the strongest, as I had heard it yesterday from my so called rival. However, I get a text from Uraraka saying that they are all in the common room and dinner would be ready in a bit. She is just pities me, as soon as she gets tired she'll let go of me, and I don't blame her. I just answer saying that I am doing my homework and that I'll be down there for dinner.

Bakugo P.O.V. 

We are all in the common area as I didn't have anything better to do, and I am just sitting with the others as they have their eyes glued to the screen, deciding on what to watch. I realize that Deku isn't here, and that round face is sitting by herself with her phone, so I decide to approach her, considering that they both like each other but are too fucking stupid to tell each other or realize. It's so fucking obvious, but that's besides the point, she may know where the nerd is. "Hey round face, you now where is Deku, or why he isn't here?" I say, trying to sound as calm as possible, but because I was thinking about how stupid Deku is being, it was quite difficult. She looks up at me and says "He is just doing his homework and will be down for dinner.......... Wait, since when do you care about Deku?" She asks, clearly knowing my distaste for the broccoli bastard. "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS I DON'T CARE! But he is being stupid and not taking care, and if he wants to be my rival, he needs to get his shit together!" She is stunned by my outburst, but I was full of it with this stupid act Deku was putting on, not that I hate him for no reason.

Dinner is finally ready and Deku comes down as he sits next to round face and four eyes, but their conversation is loud enough for me to hear from where I was seated. "So Deku-kun, why did mister Aizawa want to talk to you? Is everything alright?" Yeah, Aizawa stopped him after class today, probably realizing his dumbass act. "Yeah Midoriya, have you broken the rules again?" asks four eyes, remembering our house arrest. Deku just puts his fake ass smile and states "He just wanted to ask if I was okay with my sleeping schedule due to my morning training." Not only is he lying, but the other two clearly notice and raise their eyebrow in suspicion. But I hate that fake ass smile that he put back in middle school while he walked around. "Well, he has a point Midoriya, you look very tired with your eye bags and bloodshot eyes."  says four eyes stating the obvious once again. Deku just smiles and gives a lame reason, I just then turn off my attention on that and begin to think by myself. What changed that caused him to be this idiotic? He is even more antisocial than before, what the fuck is wrong with you now Deku?

And that's the second upload, hell yeah. So..... I don't really no what to say here except sorry and thank you, I know that the upload schedule got really weird but well, I wont stop until I finish this. Remember you are unique and awesome at what you do. I hope you had and have an amazing day, and I'll see you tomorrow.
