How am I going to explain this to my classmates?...

I sat in my bed, cross-legged as I folded my arms. I groaned as I fell back, sinking into my blankets as I still had to go to school the next day.

I can just say that I had gotten my hair dyed, but then dyed it back to it's original color...But what about my eyes?...

I sighed as I finally gotten off my bed, awake enough to want coffee.

I can just say I had gotten contacts...Yeah that can work...

I was satisfied with my lame excuse as I waited till my coffee brewed as I took a long sip of it till I suddenly stopped. A bitter and disgusted face grew as I longed for something else.

Instant coffee is much better...

I sighed as I went to spend my day down in the city at the market, trying to satisfy my cravings.As I walked into the city, my hands in my pockets of my pants as it was barely noon as the day could only remind me of one thing.

I wonder what happened to that emo kid...

I had honestly wished to see the moping boy that I had previously cheered up at the exams, but alas there was no sight of him.

Maybe he didn't do the exams...

The thought of him giving up a chance for him to be a hero even when he had so much potential was saddening and made me frown, but of course such thing couldn't be helped now.

As I entered the market I had picked up a plastic basket while I browsed the aisles. Suddenly the weirdest thing caught my eye as bright red hair filled my vision.

It felt familiar, but the fact that it was all red only caught my eye and made me blind to notice anything else.

So weird...

The boy that held the hair caught me staring as he widened his eyes as I jumped, surprised as I didn't catch myself first before any one noticed.

Shit! I was staring too long...

I had turned around, pretending to mind my own business as I started to nervously whistle while I picked something off the shelf and acting as if I were interested it. I felt nervous as I jumped when I felt the weight of a hand on my shoulder.

Crap! It's probably him and that he's gonna tell me off for staring so much! I'm such a nosy idiot!...

"Hey! It's you! Do you remember me?"

.

.

.

Huh...?

I turned around to see the guy as up close he was smiling brightly with his pointed and upright eyes that had a small scar underneath one of them. I squinted my eyes hard to try to recognize him till I said,"Uhm...Kirishima?...Right?"

He smiled as I relievingly sighed, realizing I had gotten it correct while he said,"Yeah! Eijirou Kirishima! Remember that day when you encouraged me and all? That was so manly of you!"

Manly? Since when did he start saying that?...

I smiled awkwardly when I was finally sure that it was actually him,"Of course I do! I would've spoken to you earlier though if I recognized it was you,"

I was smirking as Kirishima was twirling one of his new red locks as his cheeks were tinged a slight pink while he laughed,"Ha, yeah. After what you told me I decided to change my image. I was glad I got to see you again even though with this whole make over,"

I giggled to myself a bit before I replied,"Yeah I know what you mean. Funny thing was that I was just thinking of you,"

The boy blushed a terrible red as he stuttered,"R-Really? Y-You were thinking of m-me?"

"Yeah!" I chimed, ignoring his behavior,"I was actually wondering if you tried out for the U.A. exams or not,"

He blushed a little harder when he finally knew what I meant as he smirked confidently,"Y-Yeah! I actually did! And I passed, too!"

I widened my eyes as I became excited,"Seriously? No way! That's awesome!"

I'm glad that he succeeded...

He blushed a hard red as he rubbed the back of his burning neck while the blood started to creep up to his ears as he soflty said,"Well...This wouldn't have been possible without you..."

I cocked my head to the side, slightly confused while a little flustered as I scoffed,"No way! This was all you! You did all of this on your own!"

"But if you weren't there to encourage me then I wouldn't have done anything!" He resisted back as it started to go off and on.

"I just pushed you a little! You passed the exams because of all the potential you have!" I pushed back.

"But you made me realize my potential!" He said back.

"You did it on your own. Period," I said, ending the somewhat argument as he jumped back a little, not knowing hwo scary I could be.

"Ah, yeah. O-Okay..." He meekly said as my happy demeanor had returned as he complied to my hard statement till he said,"W-Well in celebration...Let me take you out to coffee,"

I didn't know what to say as just blurted,"Is that your excuse for asking me on a date?"

Kirishima blushed hard as he waved his hand off,"N-No! Of course not!"

"What? Am I not likeable enough to be asked out or something?" I pretended to be offended as I placed a hand hovering over my chest dramatically.

Kirishima looked more frustrated and flustered then ever as he blurted,"T-That's not it! Y-You're a v-very attractive-"

"I'm just teasing," I bluntly said as I was about to burst out laughing. He stared at me for a second till he got a little pouty.

"That was so unmanly!"Kirishima whined as at that point I was laughing till I was crying.

"Sorry, sorry. Habit of mine to do that," I scoffed as I wiped away a small tear.

He sighed while he said,"Well is that a yeah or a no?"

I giggled a bit,"Yeah. That sounds cool. Just as friends though right?"

"Of course. What else would it be?" He laughed as we continued to buy our things and go off. At one point he ended up asking if there was any particular place I wanted to go as I recommended the shop I always go to with Hijirikawa.

As we entered the shop Hijirikawa immediately noticed your companion.

"Oh! Kami! With another guy I see?" She teases as I stuck my tongue out at her.

Kirishima looked at me and then at the unfamiliar barista as he said,"Hm? Do you have a boyfriend or something?"

"Tekami here gets all the boys," Hijirikawa bluntly mentioned as I irked at her.

Damn her...She's gonna start something that never existed...

I put a hand on his shoulder as I said,"I don't. I just grew up around boys so I have a lot of childhood friends of the sex,"

At least the term boyfriend is not really it...I think...

Kirishima gave the nod as he understood what I meant as I gave a quick glare to the snitchy bitchy barista.

Kirishima let me order for him as we talked as I said,"Oh yeah I forgot to mention! I'm gonna be in your class,"

I stopped sipping on my iced coffee now since it's been getting warmer as I said,"You made it to the top class? Seriously? That's great! I actually have some friends in there that I'd like you to meet,"

Kirishima looked at me before he said,"Are they the friends you were talking about earlier?"

Especially one certain ass hole...

"Yeah. That's exactly it. There's a certain someone that I'd think you'd hopefully get along with," I scoffed while as I looked out the window, but then back at him as I had a unsure face,"He can be...just a tiny bit rowdy though,"

"That doesn't sound too bad," Kirishima laughed before it was an endless conversation of catching up and almost the beginning of trouble and new life.

Almost is an understatement.

It's going to be raining hell, but that insight was far from my mind before I knew what was going to happen.

And that's the end of this chapter! Again sorry for the late update it's been a little more than a week but I'm trying to get in chapters when I can.

Any way thanks for reading!

Ciao!
