That night after he left my dorm, he never texted me goodnight like he usually does. First he walks right out of my room simply because I wouldn't put out, and then he completely ignores me... granted, I didn't text him goodnight either, but I had an excuse. What was his? Blue balls?

I didn't bother waiting for him before class like I usually do. I want him to know that I'm angry with him. He can't just storm off last night after I politely turned him down and then act like everything's normal.

I was uncharacteristically one of the first people in class today and people seemed to take notice. I got a few funny looks as my classmates filed in, curious as to why I was here so early and where my 'boyfriend' was.

I'd be lying if I didn't begin to wonder about him as the time grew nearer to the beginning of the lesson and he still wasn't here. So that means not only did last night happen, but on top of that he was planning on leaving me waiting in the lounge for him, not even sending a 'running late' message. Great.

I chuckled to myself sarcastically as he walked into the classroom, not even looking my way. Why is he being so cold all of a sudden? I'm the one who's hurting... and him kicking me when I'm down just gave me all the confirmation I needed to stick to showing him that I'm angry.

Today's class was more physical. It was a training battle kind of day, but during homeroom and lunch and even on the field, he didn't look my way once. I tried really hard to not let my anger turn into anything that resembled sadness, but I truly was more hurt than I was angry. Is that really all I was to him? Is that why he ended up agreeing to help me? So he had a shot at getting laid? I know that should infuriate me and to a certain degree it does, but it also makes me want to cry. I was starting to have real genuine feelings for him...

"Hey are you okay?" Deku said to me at the end of the day, cutting my train of thoughts short which I was pretty thankful for.

"Hm?" I chimed, reeling myself back to the classroom after having spent too much time in my own head. "Oh! Yeah, I'm fine"

I put on my best smile, but of course Midoriya could see right through it. He knows me pretty well.

"I won't pry," he stated, offering a kind, gentle smile. "But if you change your mind or if there's anything I can do, I'm here!"

At his cheerful grin, I couldn't help but melt just a little bit. I didn't have any romantic feelings for him anymore, but after what happened last night it was really nice to remember that good guys like Deku exist. Because no matter what he's put me through, I know that he truly truly is a good guy. The best guy I've ever gotten the pleasure of knowing...

"Actually, I guess I kind of lied," I said, letting my smile fade into an expression that more accurately matched how I was feeling. "Do you maybe wanna hang out? If you're not busy of course."

Midoriya softened his features and put a gentle hand on my shoulder. "Of course, Uraraka. Let's go."

Without forcing it, a genuine soft smile made its way back onto my face and we were gathering our things to walk back to the dorms just like we used to.

I couldn't help but chuckle as Deku made some stupid joke about the homework and because the universe hates me, that's exactly when Bakugou stepped foot in the classroom.

He took one look at us and saw the smiles on both of our faces, bantering, and the only two kids (apart from him now) left in the classroom.

Just at the sight of us, Katsuki started laughing. And I don't mean a chuckle or an annoyed, sarcastic laugh. I mean he was hands on his knees cackling and it was almost eerie.
