Run. (adopted version)

chapter 3

After about an hour of driving, the taxi driver drops me off at Melbourne. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be, there are a lot of large buildings, almost like gigantic mirrors to me. After a while I find myself walking and exploring the large city. I started to notice, more than before anyways, how different everything here is. The people here are also very different. They wear clothes that are much different. The styles are completely different and the colors and aesthetics of the people feel a little over whelming….but in a good way. I continue to walk around, and observe the people around me, taking note one the different styles and vocabulary that I’m hearing. I keep looking around until I come across a very decorative, and flashy guitar shop.

The second I saw it I thought of Jiro. her beautiful voice ran through my head and her amazing musical talent. She had shown me how to play the guitar a few times and liked it a lot in all honesty. And I was told that I was really good at it, but I’m not sure if that part was true or not….I thought it sounded awful whenever I played. But Jiro liked it..,and she’s amazing at playing.

"Well, I might as well get a hobby while here." I decided with a sigh.

I casually enter the shop to the loud sound of a jingling bell, and I am greeted by a huge load of guitars on the wall, a lot of amps and a random blue haired guy behind the counter reading a magazine. He had an….Interesting, aesthetic going on. Lots of black and plaid and he wore some leather accessories and he had a quiet few piercings. One in his lip, one in his nose, and around five on both ears. I was actually quite fond of his style. It was kinda cool.

 I look around just to check some of those guitars out. After a while of looking around I saw one that caught my eye.

"This looks pretty cool." I mumble.

The guitar is decorated with a navy blue marble effect and a very holographic shine to the guitar. When I try the guitar, just before I pluck the strings, I have some kind of... satisfactory feeling. 

Then I play. It was a bit awkward at first but, but my hands and fingers soon took over, I barely thought while playing, I just knew that it felt right. So I just followed the flow.

(refer to the song above)

I must've shredded some pretty good chords because after I was done, the person who I saw reading the magazine was staring at me with his jaw dropped. I awkwardly laugh and rub the back of my neck, looking down at the floor. But, I decided that this is the guitar that was for me.

"Hello sir, how much is this guitar and the amp?" I ask the person, with an awkward smile..

"U-uh." he answers, looking shocked, "That will be $850, sir."

[In U.A]

[Jiro’s pov]

My classmates all have mixed reactions to this situation, I see Bakugou taking his frustrations on a pillow on the couch. "STUPID DEKU!” *thud* “LEAVING US-” *thud* “WHEN WE NEED HIM THE MOST!” Bakugou yells and thrashes at literally everything. He sets off a small explosion causing Iidal to yell at him about being ‘irrational’.

I see his closest friends, Uraraka, Iida, and surprisingly even Todoroki all crying and comforting each other. I’m with the girls, talking about the unexpected decision that Midoriya made. But I heard that Uraraka had gotten a hold of Midoriya… I’m not sure what happened after that. Sure would tell us about the call, but her and Bakugou seemed awfully gloomy and upset afterwards. I’m not sure what was going on, but I think they definitely said something to him that they probably regret.

"I can't believe Midoriya would just leave us like that!" Mina shouts.

"If I were to be honest, I sort of expected this," Momo begins to say, with everyone looking at her with confused looks, "I mean, Midoriya's been under so much pressure and emotional stress, he was going to snap some day... but I didn't expect him to run off like this. I just assumed that he would maybe yell at one of us or act out...."
