Strange Days- Chapter 2

Izuku was planning out the rest of his day, it was current;y 1:23pm so he had a few hours to stretch and go places. He wanted to get his mind of these strange dreams that seemed to haunt his memories. He had already decided to go to the mall and buy some things, not necessarily clothes but maybe some figurines of some sort.. Maybe accessories as well. After agreeing with himself on just walking around the city to find things to do, he got properly dressed to leave the dorms and head out. He again, didn't mind the stairs, whispers, and the silence as he walked with such pride to go out of the door.. Completely forgetting about what people thought of him. Even with their stupid thoughts and words, he would make a great pro hero! Izuku took a moment to breathe the fresh air, not the foul smelling air of popcorn and strawberries. He plastered a smile on his face as he walked away, going into the direction of the bus stop around a few corners. He had plenty of cash on him for the mall, bus, food, and etc.

"Allright.. Bus stop.. Check!" He smiled from ear to ear as he sat down on the bus stop bench, waiting for the bus to come around. Although he was old enough for a car, he was saving up for other things and he would never make enough money with any side jobs at his age. Plus, walking was very healthy for him, jogging as well.. Which is what he normally did. As Izuku was doodling through his notebook as he waited for the bus, he felt a strange feeling.. like he was being watched or stared at. He looked around himself, looking for a person who could potentially be looking at him or even accidentally be staring at him. Like looking off into space? He shook it off and sat back onto the bench, standing up once again as he saw the bus come around the corner. He took one last glance around himself before stepping up the three steps onto the bus.

Izuku walked down the aisle of the bus, passing up people who seemed to notice who he seemed to be. That he was just a complete failure.. Although this made him feel like trash can, he smiled at the people as he passed them, bowing a few times as he did so. He relived himself, letting out a sigh of relief as he sat down in the back of the bus. He popped his earbuds in and played some loud yet calming music, just to echo out any other noise on the bus. He watched the tree's and nature fly by as they drove off, making small stops occasionally. Izuku basically froze when he saw a dark figure standing on the sidewalk, staring at the bus as it drove by. He couldn't make out the figure's face, or anything about him.. He just looked really familiar, really odd. Izuku was brought out of his thoughts and rambling when the bus driver yelled, "Town stop! Town stop!" Izuku got up and rushed to the front of the bus, being the last person to get off of it. He didn't even look back when he immediately ran off into the direction of the humongous mall. Although he seemed a bit too excited, he was also a bit creeped out by the random person standing on the side of the completely deserted sidewalk. He entered the mall, already walking towards the store he wanted to go to. The thoughts of the mysterious person seemed to escape his mind after reassuring himself that he was just overthinking it. "Spencers" Is what the sign in front of Izuku read. He only went here for the cool shirts, action figures, etc. He's learned his lesson from going into the back of the store.. Never again. Izuku shook off his frightening memories and walked into the store, noticing some new jewelry they must have put in. "A collar?.." He mumbled, picking up an item that seemed to be a dog collar. Although it had spiked on it and was plain black, Izuku seemed to find interest in it... since it was a bit different from his usual style. He figured it was meant for human use since it had a small photo of another person wearing it.. Showing off their quirk with it as well. He held it in his hand as he rummaged through shirts, finding all might ones, endeavour ones, midnight, etc.. it was all pro hero's except for a few people he didn't seem to know anything about. He ended up just getting a cup that read, "Coffee." Yes, I know, plain. Anyway- Along with the choker. He had spent about 40 minutes to an hour in that store, he began feeling hungry. He spotted a food shop across from spencers, it looked to sell icecream. Izuku walked over and ordered him a single scoop of chocolate ice cream and went along with his day.

Izuku had been walking around for a bit, looking at the different stores and minding his own business. But he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the person from earlier, the person on the sidewalk. His tongue seemed to stay in contact with the icecream and his mouth hung open. His eyes were wide open. He seemed a bit dizzy as he stared at this strange person, just as the strange person stared back. Black hoodie, gloves, pants, their head low.. He had no clue who this was. But he was shoved out of his thoughts when the person stood up and walked towards him, Izuku began backing up, attempting to get away. He turned around to make a run for it, dropping the now melted icecream on the ground. But he soon just ran into another tall person, he was grabbed and turned around Izuku fought, but it was no good. Nobody even cared, they just walked by without paying any attention. The first person walked closer to him, leaning down in his ear. "Long time no see, Deku. Be ready tonight," The persons low voice mumbled in his ear, a chuckle being followed afterwards. The person holding him back practically threw him onto the ground and walked away. He missed the icecream just by a bit, it would be humiliating if that got all over him. He grabbed his back which was next to him and ran off, trying to get away from there as fast as possible. He ran quickly, quicker then usual, using his quirk secretly sometimes to give him a small boost. He finally made it to the bus stop, seeing the bus right as he stopped. He payed for his ticket and sat in the back of the bus, relaxing when he could finally be safe.

"Is this seat taken? Thanks." A low and familiar voice said as they sat down. Izuku shot up, seeing the mystery person once again. "G-Go away!" He simply whisper-shouted.

"What's wrong Midoriya? You don't wanna chat with an old friend. A bit rude if you ask me." The person shrugged, leaning back in the seat and letting a small chuckle escape his lips. "Ah, if only you knew what I knew.. You'd be crying your eyes out right now, like you do every time something bad happens." The person lowered his mask so Izuku could see his lips.. They were a soft pink and seemed to part just a bit when they relaxed. Izuku gulped but didn't talk, he was scooted as far as he could from him. 

"I'm pretty exited for tonight, aren't you?" This person spoke, putting his mask back on and leaving the bus.. Izuku was left concerned, confused, scared, etc.
