City Boy (TodoBaku)

Chapter 13: Shine

Shoto Todoroki's Point of view:

I don't get it.  Why?  I feel so.... isolated.  Like I no longer can blend with anyone.  People stay away from me because I'm too "perfect". They only notice my outside, forced talents and my quirk.  No one dares to fight nor talk to me.  It'd be weird if someone did.

No one allowed me to be their actual friend that they can talk normally to. To them I'm just this "model" or statue.  I'm like someone that's unreachable.  I couldn't have friends except for online ones where I could conceal my identity.

Glass door opened for me. 2 guards assisted my way back to the hotel.  It was just a damn measly 2 minute walk to the hotel. I walked faster until a crowd of people stormed around.  "What if......" I mutter and hide from the guards.  I walked with the people and got on a ride. I still had currency from this country luckily.

I walked around the busy streets of this country and met a few people. The sun lingered through the sea. People gave weird looks towards me, Maybe because I'm a Japanese in a foreign country?

I came across a market and it was kinda packed. I went to this street vendor kinda place.  She had curly white hair and a few wrinkles danced around get fave as she smiled for me. "What can I get you?  Can you understand me? "She asked.

"O-Oh,  yes.  I'd like to purchase this" I pointed to a food and she smiled.  She nodded and handed me it. I decided to go extra and gave her an extra 100. I felt generous today. Maybe since it was the cold breeze?  I had coffee earlier.  Maybe that triggered something?  She thanked me since I didn't let her refuse.

I looked at the number of bread I bought..... I think I went over board?  I rubbed my eyes and looked around.  Kids were playing in a playground. Swings were occupied and slides weren't used.  It was a metal one and it would burn if some one were to ride on it. I smiled when I saw kids trying to try and cool down the slide by putting amounts of water on it.

I sighed "Need help? ' I asked them. They were a group of 7.  4 boys and 3 girls. They were weirded at first maybe since I was a stranger and had a damn expensive ass attire but they nodded when they saw I was young and looked like a teen.

I placed a hand on the metal inclined plane and begin to add frost on the hard material.  Their eyes flowed with sparkles. I chucked and asked them "is this temperature fine by you? " as they touched the slide they nodded and smiled. They thanked me and I left. I sat at a bench beside that area.

Suddenly there was a touch on my arm. I looked down and it was the kids from earlier.  "Um...hello, what are you doing here? " a girl asked.  "Oh...I just needed some air.  I was pretty busy earlier" I say. They nodded and then the guy that wore a white tank top said while pointing to one guy and girl "They wanted me to tell you for them to...say that you looked handsome" he chuckled.

I smiled and said "Thank you....ummm why?" I titled my head.  They then blush a bit.  "W-well you look really attractive and... " the girl said and the boy continued "-and you you're nice." He said. "It wasn't much what I did" I said until a voice yelled knowing very well it's one of my classmates since they yelled in Japanese.

"There you are! " yelled a blue haired male with glasses. I groan and the boy asked "What's wrong?" "Oh...just that I need to go now" I say. Iida tapped my shoulder and said "Let's go! Everyone's looking for you. Why did you even wander off?" He asked.  "Is he your friend?" Asked the other kid in a skirt.

"I wouldn't really say that. He isn't even close to me" I say and iida then shook his hand in front of me. "Don't ignore me" he said. "Lumayas ka na nga" I mutter. (Just leave ugh).
I rolled my eyes and he then pulled me.  I then pull my hands away and said goodbye to them. "Bye little ones" I said and walked away. Iida then asked "do you even know the way back? " he asked.
