Chapter 20: CH.20
IZUKU'S MIDDLE SCHOOL: SOMETIME AFTER NOON
A sigh escaped Izuku's mouth as he stood up from his desk. He was now in his school uniform after what felt like a long day. And honestly, who could blame him? He was going to be trained by the No. 1 Pro Hero after having met the No. 3 hero, Saitama, who just so happened to be close with the other hero. But if that wasn't enough, the teen had been given a ride by that hero, which by itself had been scary and frightening moment.
Fortunately, the ordeal the teen went through didn't matter. It was currently lunchtime, which meant that Izuku would be heading to the cafeteria. However, before he could move the classroom's back room, two girls called him by his last name, which immediately got him curious to them.
"You were calling me?" Izuku questioned. The expression on his face showed his confusion, which was something to expect.
The teenage boy knew the girls somewhat well. One of them was a foreign blonde girl with blue eyes while the other was an average Japanese girl with black hair, but shorter than the foreigner in height.
"Yup, we called ya." said the foreign girl.
"And we have a reason." Added the other girl. "Is it true that Tatsumaki isn't doing well…? We were hoping to catch up with her today since she's freaking popular now."
"Okay." Izuku replied. He wasn't certain of the girl's intention. But rather than speak on it, he added some assurance. "Well…I think you might get a chance tomorrow. I took her home when she collapsed and –"
The teen suddenly stopped talking. He realized at that moment that he had crossed something he shouldn't have said. Now he was regretting it when a look of mild dread was on his face.
"W-Wait, I didn't mean it like that –" He tried to say.
"That's so cool!" exclaimed the Japanese girl.
Totally cool!" exclaimed the foreigner. "You know, I've dated a whole bunch of guys, but they've never been so thoughtful like you. Tatsumaki is so lucky…even though you're a quirkless wimp."
"H-Huh?!" Izuku uttered in shock.
In response the two girls giggled. It was obvious they had mistaken what Izuku was saying just recent. However, there was no stopping them now. Izuku was still shaken by their misunderstanding when they walked out the class laughing. Now it was just Izuku standing in place and watching the door they left, with widened eyes.
"W-What just happened?" He questioned.
Indeed, the question was right to be used. Izuku knew very well that he and Tatsumaki didn't have that type of a relationship that the girls were implying. However, being the guy that he was, he was slow in processing the misunderstanding, and thus was taken aback when Katsuki brushed past him without glancing at him.
"Watch it, Deku." The teen said.
"Oh…Uh…Sorry, Kacchan." Izuku apologized.
