It had been a week and I hadn't talked to Todoroki once. I know it isn't his fault, but I just can't face looking at him right now. Too bad he sits directly in front of me. I force myself to stare straight ahead at the chalkboard, but the words appear blurry.

That's odd.

Whatever.

I try to piece together what Aizawa-sensei is writing based on what he's saying, but that only helps a little bit. This is weird. I'm gonna go to the bathroom to pull myself together. I get permission, then begin to sprint down the hall. I don't even make it all the way there before a massive throbbing makes its way behind my eyes and I stumble. I walk the rest of the way there, trying not to cry, because the pain is making its way all around my head now. I think I'm having a migraine. My mom said it happened to her whenever she was too stressed, and that it was possible for me, too.

I guess I'm a little overstressed then.

I go into a stall, lock the door, and cry silently.

A few minutes, or hours, later, knuckles make their way to the door and tap from the other side. I look at their shoes and see Iida's foot shape, so I open the door slowly.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

I shrug.

"I'll take that as a no. Come on Midoriya-kun, classes ended an hour ago."

Has it really been that long?

Oh well. It was probably just review today anyways.

He grabs me by the arm and takes me to his dorm room, where he plops me down in his desk chair and meets my eye.

"Listen Midoriya, I understand your confusion, but is there anything you can do to get your mind off of this?

"Well, do you have a crush on anyone?"

Iida pursed his lips.

"Oh my god, you do."

"Yeah. I do."

"Who?"

"Uraraka-san."

"Uraraka-chan?!"

"Yep."

"That's..."

"How is this going to help you again?"

"Can I help you two get together?"

"Can you- what?!"

"You heard me right."

"But- but she doesn't- she isn't interested in me!"

"How do you know that?"

"I just do!"

"Sounds like you are doubting your manly charm."

"Midoriya!"

"Yes?"

It turned out, Iida's crush distracted me from my own, as I teased him about it day in and day out. I don't know how I didn't realize it earlier, because the signs were very, very obvious. Iida may be good at school, but he is absolute shit at being discreet. Which, now that I think about it, is really not all that surprising.

This is alright, I think to myself, Not talking to Todoroki. I just don't come to him, and I don't need to deal with him.

The only problem was, he came to me.
