Chapter 2: Zoned Out

Todoroki's POV

I walked past some stores and shops on the way to UA. I couldn't seem to let my anger go, even though I didn't know why I was angry in the first place. How could I get angry over breakfast? And the fact that I took it out on Fuyumi.. I'm becoming more like that stupid old man. That is not acceptable.

Finally arriving upon my destination, I walked through the school gates. Students were bustling in front and behind me.

My eyes land on a certain boy with dark green hair. Approaching him, he turns around and smiles. "Todoroki-kun!"

"Midoryia." I said to him. His expression changes.

"Todoroki?" Midoryia furrowed his eyebrows.

"Midoryia." I repeated. I wondered why he greeted me twice, but I went along with it.

"No, Todoroki-" Midoryia said again.

"Midoryia..?" I was beginning to get confused.

"TODOROKI!" Midoryia shook me. "We're gonna be late!" Oh. So is that what that was about?

After class, we went to the lockeroom to change into our training uniforms.

"Hey Todoroki.. are you ok? Usually you would be the one telling me that we were going to be late.. is something on your mind..?" Midoryia asked me once we left the locker room.

"Yeah, I'm fine." There was a bit of a stern tone in my voice from that morning still.

"Alright.."
