● Part Six ●
POV Ochako Uraraka
There he was. Again. My mind had been flood with the meeting at first, but when I saw him all those thoughts were overwhelmed. He sat down and I smiled at him. And even though it was pretty much like him to smile back, I was still surprised when he did.
It was some sort of greeting we always seemed to do. Just smile at each other. And it always felt a little more special than the time before.
I already noticed that this time, no one was with their parents. Everyone came alone, and it was logical in my head. But besides that, everyone seemed to be more tense. This was far more serious than the time with our parents. I bit my lip softly and looked in front of me, softly grabbing the edge of my dark-blue skirt.
I didn't know how long I had been staring at my sweating hands when Todoroki finally entered the room.
"Excuse me. My bus had some delay", he apologized with a small bow before he sat down and put his bag beside him. I smiled a bit, knowing he would be a very strong part of our team, and he would be of much use in the plan as well.
Not long after that I heard a streak of "sorry" coming closer from the hall. It was getting louder and louder before Nejire, the enthusiastic blue-haired girl, entered the room, panting.
"I'm so sorry!!", she almost shouted. She blew out so much air that it seemed like the held her breath all the time.
"I..I lost track of time and.. and then I forgot to turn off my hairstyler and I needed to go back before my dorm would burn down..and..and..I really tried to be on time!", she explained, still having trouble to catch her breath.
"Calm down Nejire. You can sit down. We haven't started yet", Aizawa said calmly as he pointed to an empty chair.
I looked around after she sat down. Everyone was here now. But everyone was silent. And that silence made me think of the blue-haired kid I saw a few days before. The kid who went with the man, who was most likely his dad. I saw his face. He looked pretty nice, so I assumed he was. I smiled a little at the thought. Then All might's voice pulled me out of my thoughts and caught my attention.
A big screen behind the teachers was turned on, like a movie was going to be played. Aizawa was holding the remote, while All might wanted to start talking.
But at the moment he wanted to start, the door opened and a tiny, but strong looking guy entered the room smiling a bit. His spiky hair seemed to have a dark-aubergine colour when he stood in the sunlight, and he looked really serious but also friendly. He smiled at every individual in the room and then took a seat.
"Welcome, young Haruta, I'm glad you still came today", All might said first, instead of starting the meeting.
The boy nodded smiling and Aizawa took a quick look at the screen before he clicked a button on the remote, and the screen flipped over to another slide. It showed a picture of some sort of logo. I furrowed my eyebrows.
"And welcome to this first meeting everyone. I want to start by showing you this. This is the logo that has been spread by the scorchers. The first thing I want to ask you, is to keep an eye on this logo. If you see it anywhere, immediately inform one of us", All might then continued.
I took in the logo and nodded to myself, before I focused on the next words again.
"Also, we have found the potential leader of this villain group. There are some pictures taken of him, so if you see this man, please stay away from him and avoid any contact", Aizawa added, as he flipped over the screen to another slide.
That is when a felt a big stone appear in my throat. I tried to swallow but I couldn't, and I slowly felt sweat dripping down my face. My vision went from blurry to clear and back to blurry. And that went on for a while as I stared at my feet.
That guy. The guy on the picture. The entire scene with the blue-haired kid shot through my head. I remembered when Deku had been through this, with Eri. Did I just have the same thing. Did I fail to rescue this little boy when he was right in front of me..?
