Momo walks in the packed hallway with her friends by her side, her ponytail slightly bouncing.

It's been a day after the unknown number started texting her yesterday, his or perhaps, her words still lingering in her head.

"Argh, I'm starving!" Mina cries out as she holds on to her stomach. Jirou and Toru chuckle, "You're not the only one.." Jirou states, a sort of smirk forming on her lips.

As her friends chatter, Momo could somehow sense someone following her. Despite the fact she's in a sea of students with her friends and the possibilty someone is staring is obvious, it feels quite different.

Like, a ghost haunting her.

She stops her tracks and turns her head to the back. A boy with long violet hair from the distance looks away from her and starts to run away, causing Momo to gulp.

His features weren't clear due to the crowd hiding his whole figure.

'Is that him..?' She thought, biting her lower lip from  her suspiciousness.

She shakes her head before running back to her group of friends before they could run after her themselves.

Lunch ended and the odd feeling of something haunting Momo takes over her once again.

Her friends chatter right beside her and don't seem to notice their friend panicking inside.

Momo pushes her her lips together, sweat slowly streaming down her face.

She turns her head around due to curiousity and as expected, sees the boy with long violet hair.

This time, his features were clear. He had long messy hair that reached his shoulder and covered one eye.

He had little freckles sprinkled below his only visible eye which was gray.

She gasps lightly before the boy's eyes widen and runs away once again.

• • •

'That guy is starting to give me really bad vibes..' Momo thought, her thumbs overlapping with her hands closed together above her desk.

She gulped from the thought of his dark eyes gazing at her.

Her head was too busy spinning with anxious thoughts, causing her to lack the ability to comprehend the words Mr. Aizawa was saying.

She tries her best to focus, but the dark, messy violet hair seems to always lurk into her mind.

"Class dismissed."

The two words cause Momo to snap back to reality. Everyone stands up and starts to pack their things, leaving Momo clueless.

She clutches her forehead with one hand, "How long was I daydreaming..?" She mumbled with frustration, her head starting to ache from all the thoughts and wonders mixing in her mind endlessly.

"Yaoyorozu."

Momo's eyes widen and lifts her head immediatly to look over to the boy beside her, Todoroki.

He was standing up, filling his bag with his notebooks and books. He stops his task and looks over to her.

'His eyes..' She thought, her own eyes being mesmerized from Todoroki's. 'They're filled with..guilt?' She stated internally after observing them for a short of period of time.

"I'm sorry for yesterday.." He says, his eyes still remaining eye contact with her

Momo's eyes widen, realizing she forgotten she's speaking with him. She returns back to reality immediatly.

"Ah, it's okay!" She blurted out, unaware why and how. She shook her hands infront of her indicating refusal and suddenly stopped.

"Wait..for what?" She says, lifting an eyebrow from her confusion and curiousity. Todoroki averts his eyes from her and continues to pack his things.

"I scared you yesterday, right?" He stated, zipping his bag close. Momo's hands slowly fall onto her lap as she listens carefully to his statements.

"I don't want to scare you like my father did to my mother."

This causes Momo to slightly blush and her lips to wobble. Hearing him speak out his thoughts to her and personal things like those seem so rare despite the fact he did something like that when they first met at the staircase.

Todoroki lifts his bag, preparing himself to leave. "I don't want you to run away like my mom did." He says, his eyes filled with fear and worry from Momo's observation.

"See you tomorrow." Was the last thing he said before walking away, leaving Momo speechless on her seat.

"Y-Yeah.." She mumbled, aware he couldn't hear her due to the fact he has left the room. Her eyes widen after feeling her chest pounding rapidly.

She places her hand on her chest gently, studying the rate of her heartbeat. 'It's going faster than usual..' She notices.

'I wonder why..'

□ □ □

The gang of girls enter Mina's room in thier pajamas, hugging their stuffed toys and pillows in their arms.

Momo tiptoes towards Mina's vibrant pink bed with her phone and gigantic pillow in her arms.

Since it was a friday night, the girls didn't want to miss the oppurtunity to relax and watch a movie together.

The girls surround the round pink table with a laptop on top of it, the screen flashing bright in the room.

The lights were turned off so the room was completely dark and their only source of light was from the large device.

Momo settles herself on the bed and leans on the wall, her pillow laying on her lap. She pulls out her smartphone and takes a little peek on the time.

Her eyes widen.

Not from how late it was, but from the fact the unknown number messaged her once again.

The thought of the creepy boy with long violet hair texting causes her to shiver.

Either from fear or disgust.

She sighs. She fixes the pillow and dips it between her legs vertically, wrapping her legs around it while resting her chin above it but keeping her back straight to the wall.

She lifts her head from noticing Ochako heading towards her. The brunette settles herself down beside her, curling herself into a ball.

"Uraraka?" She manage to let out, hiding her phone in the process. Ochako lifts a finger to place it against her lips and lets out a "Shh" softly.

"The movie is starting.." She whispered, returning her attention to the laptop across them.

Momo looks over to the laptop, only to find a pale woman with dark eyes. Momo's eyes widen from the sight.

Suddenly, a girl with blond ponytail appears, her body trembling in fear and tears pouring out. The pale lady attacks her brutally, stabbing the girl 28 times.

Eventually, Momo realized this was a horror movie. She sighed softly and grabbed her phone.

Lowering the brightness in the process, she taps the notification.

She grits her teeth, her left hand gripping on the pillow.

The gray eyes of the boy still peeks into her mind from time to time and sends shivers to her spine and an odd feeling to her stomach.

Guilt shoots her like a bullet. She immediatly types back to apologise.

The thought of being kind to that violet haired creep disgusts her. But being mean to strangers and her friends always seems to leave a void in her and a bad taste of guilt in her tongue.

Somehow, a blush appears on her cheeks and a smile forms on her lips. Perhaps from pride or from the compliment.

Somehow, Momo started to feel comfortable with this stranger.

She doesn't know why, but she somehow does.

A blush emerges on Momo's face. And exactly at that moment, her friends screamed in fear.

She flinches and lifts her eyes from her phone and feels a familiar touch on her arm at the same time.

She looks over to ses Ochako trembling in fear as she holds on to her arm, her eyes still locked on the laptop.

Momo couldn't help but giggle, causing her blush to fade instantly. She returned her eyes to the phone.

She turns her phone off and fixates her eyes back to the screen, Ochako still hugging her arm.

Todoroki scratches his head due to his frustration.

He sits on the little chair, his elbows placed on top of the little desk with a piece of paper ripped from a notebook.

He reviews it again and again, his attention fixated on it.

"I wonder if I'm doing this right.." He mumbled, rereading the words that were definitely not written by him.

He sighed.

"I hope I am.. I might make things worse than they originally are."
