18

the next day, i got up really early and got my things all ready. i dressed out of my pajamas and into something more casual but cozy and stepped into the hallway and gaze out the window as i walked down the hall.

this is it.

i reach the first floor and see some of the boys up already. i see lida up as always.

"hey, have you seen mr. aizawa?" i ask.

"yes, he's outside talking to todoroki" replies iida. what?!

"what? do you know why?" i ask quickly. iida shrugs his shoulders.

"i'm not sure but it looked serious" he says. oh no. why is he up at this time? does he know i recorded him? what's he talking to mr. aizawa about?

"thanks" i move to a couch and wait for them to come back in. i can't do anything else. my heart pounds and i feel like my hands are sweating. i don't want to look out the window to see. i don't want to prove my thoughts right.

ten minutes pass by and they returned back inside. i watch them exchange a few words before todoroki leaves. i wait for a few seconds before going to up to the teacher.

"mr. aizawa i need to talk to you about something... in private" i say, holding the box behind my back.

"let's go to the porch," he says. he leads me and before i can talk, he raises his hand. "i know what this is about."

"you do?" i ask. my palms are definitely sweating now.

"yeah, todoroki told me about your little project," says mr. aizawa. "and he already talked to mr. ishiyama about it so it's okay."

"... what project?" i ask. he raises an eyebrow.

"the one for extra credit when we get back," he replies. what the fuck is he talking about? his phone beeps. "i'll talk to you more about it later, we have a final meeting before letting you kids go back to school."

mr. aizawa begins to go but i grab his arm. he turns to me instantly and i look at him with wide eyes.

"wait... i," the words are ultimately stuck in my throat. "it's... not!"

"what?"

"he's... i!" spit it out! tell him! tears start to form and my cheeks flare. why can't i say it?!

mr. aizawa turns to me and puts his hand on my head and kneels to my level.

"after the meeting, come find me in the school and we'll talk privately okay?" he says. "it ends at 1:30 so hold on until then."

i just nod since the lump in my throat is holding me from saying proper words. he pats my head before leaving. damn it! why did todoroki do that?!

i hesitantly walk back in and sit on the couch with defeat. holding on until 1:30? i think i can do that.

"what happened?" iida asks, coming up from behind me.

"he had to go to another meeting" i sigh. iida nods and heads on his way in almost a robotic style. It makes me chuckle a bit before i get up and drop my head in a defeated manner. i'll have to break the news to the others.

what is shot- todoroki planning?

i need to stop calling him by that. i stopped for a while but all this interaction is just bringing it back. the interaction is my fault though for what i did at the training camp. i walk back to my room quickly.

i got up for nothing! i put the box under my bed and collapse on top, exhausted. my eyes close and my body relaxes completely.

-

my eyes shoot open as i hear a loud bang. my vision is blurry but i sit up quickly and look around. what just happened?!

i stand up and look around and even look out the window. i look down and see a big puddle of water. what the hell? a bad feeling forms in my stomach and i immediately kneel to look under my bed. i take out the box to see my vines destroyed and i open it to find just a single note.

nice try. - shoto
