19 Chapter 18:You're Always There

We all stand up and grab our bags, heading for the door to get out.

My phone buzzes, telling me that I got a text message, and I take it out. I press on the notification that say I got a text from Isla and it opens.

I stop walking to read the text message better.

"HEY! LOOK OUT!"a voice yells at me.

I look up, but I don't have any time to process the boy that's stumbling towards me, so I stand there looking like an idiot.

"Gah!"I say, covering myself with my hands.

Suddenly, I feel someone pulling me towards them, out of the boy who was stumbling's way.

"Watch where you're going idiot!" I hear the voice of the person who's holding and got me out of the way say.

I freeze and feel my heart skip a beat as I realize I'm in....BAKUGOU'S GRASP!!

"Sorry!"the boy says and gets up to walk away.

I try to slow my heart and my breathing that have both been sped up by a thousand.

"And you."Bakugou says, turning his face to me as I look up at him. Our faces are inches apart and I can feel his breath on my cheek. His hands tighten around me and I can smell his scent. It smells like cologne and...like....vanilla? I don't know what it is, but I really like it and it's making my heart race.

"Be more careful."He finishes his sentence finally and I suck in my breathe. No matter what he's always there to save me.

I smile and laugh a little. "I wonder how you always know when I'm in trouble, Bakugou."

He tries his best to hide the smile that want to appear on his lips, but fails. 'This girl...'

"Something in me just tells me that the idiot is in trouble again. since you can't manage to stay out of trouble for five seconds."

"Oh you're one to talk! You're always creating new problems and dragging me in them."

"You choose to be sucked in them."

"Mhm. Sure."I laugh.

He laughs too and my mouth drops. "You can laugh?!"

He looks away, embarrassed. "Oh shut up."

"I'm not judging. It's just new since you're always so grumpy. You should do it more often."

"Hm. Whatever."He finally lets me go and I check the message again. Isla is waiting for me.

"Bakugou.." I say, looking at the ground.

"What?"

"I..I'm so grateful for you saving me. Multiple times. And I know I got really mad, but you have to understand. I was really worried for Haru."

He nods and shoves his hands into his pants. "I understand. You don't have to keep repeating it. Geez."

I nod. "I want to forget it, but...I want to understand first. Why you did it. The curiosity is killing me alive."

He looks down. "I...I just got angry when he called you...that. I don't even understand, but can we just move on from it? Geez."

I can't keep bugging him. He's probably getting annoyed. He was just angry. Probably jealous. But we can move on. We have to. Because how can I like a guy like Bakugou. He's so self-centered and brings others down. I can tell his past with Midoriya isn't pretty at all. He's terrified of Bakugou. I reckon that';s not because he was very buddy-buddy with him. I think they used to be, but Bakugou's pride got in the way.

What kind of person am I if I like someone like this? What does that say about me as a person? I don't think it's anything good.

My phone rings, startling me and Bakugou. I look at it and the caller I.D says its Isla.

"I have to go. See you."I wave at Bakugou, walking away.

I sigh and take a deep breathe in before answering the phone. I should really should talk about this with Isla. I can't keep it all in. She's the only one I can talk to.

"I texted you like ten minutes ago. Where are you?"she asks me through the phone.

"Sorry I was talking to..someone."

"Could it have been a certain...blond? With anger issues?"she snickers.

"How did you-I-"I stutter.

"Oh you are so obvious. And you've never been a very good liar."she laughs.

"Shut up."

"Well...was it him?"

"....yes...."

"I knew it!"

"Yeah and I need your help."

"Ahh, sheez. You guys are so complicated. I don't even know what is going on anymore."she sighs.

"Yeah me neither."I respond.
