Chapter 1: First Day of Preschool
I walk besides Mommy, my hand in her's, my All Might backpack on my back as we walk down the street. It was my day of preschool and I was scared and confused. I didn't want to leave Mommy, but I also wanted to see what Preschool was like. I was curious about kids my age. I only have two friends, and their Mommies are friends with Mommy so I see them all the time.
Izu-tan and Kazu-tan. I have known them since forever.
"Kontaru?" I look up to Mommy - Mommy is so tall - and see her smiling down at me. I couldn't help but to smile back at her, she's so pretty and awesome and I love her so MUCH. "Are you ready for your surprise?" She asks and I nod, excitedly. Bouncing next her and grab her hand with both of mine as she laughs and lifts me up with her super strength and places me on her hip. I squeal and giggle as she snuggles me close.
"You're so cute Kontaru." She sighs, smiling as she started to go faster. I watch as Mommy's long hair becomes a pale yellow in the morning sunlight. It's paler than All Might's.
"You're cute too Mommy." I say back and she laughs, smiling so big it shows teeth.
"Thank you baby." I pout at the name.
"Mommy I'm not a baby." She laughs again, looking at me and booping my nose.
"Of course you aren't Kontaru. You're my big boy. All grown up and going to Preschool." She says before pressing a loud kiss to my forehead. My face scrunches up and I pull away as she laughs. "We're here Kontaru." She says, pointing to a small, sand yellow building. I press myself into her side and hide my face, she rubs my back as she walks into the building.
The walls were blue like the sky and the ground was a dark brown like mud. I look around and see pictures of other kids my age on one wall and finger painting on the one across it. Benches below them. A tall desk in front of us and a small, old woman with brown, flat hair and yellow cat eyes standing behind it. Looking right at us. I press closer to Mommy. The cat-eye lady is scary.
"Hello, I'm Tsujima Kankiko. I'm here to drop off my son, Tsujima Kontaru, for his first day." She says with a smile, the cat-eye lady smiles and she looks kind of pretty too. Not like Mommy-pretty, but she's not scary when she's smiling.
"I'm Kyotani-san. Let me just check him in and then we'll be all set to go." She has a really nice voice. It's like a purring cat. Low and nice. She turns to me, smiling. "It's nice to meet you Tsujima-chan." My cheeks burn and stay quiet. Mommy nudges me with her shoulder and I mumble out a greeting.
"He's just shy with new people. He warms up quickly." Mommy tells and I pout at her before a door next to the desk opens, showing a classroom filled with others kids. It was a small, freckled kid with crazy green and sparkling green eyes, that opened the door.
"Izu-tan! Izu-tan!" I scream reaching for my friend as I try to get out of Mommy's hold. Mommy laughs softly and puts me down, I dash over to my smaller friend the second my feet touch the ground. "Izu-tan! Izu-tan!" We fall over on to the ground, giggling as someone comes over. Looking up, my smile widens. "Kazu-tan, you go here too?" Kazu-tan's sandy yellow hair bounces as he nods, grinning wide.
He holds out a hand for me and I take, pulling Izu-tan with me. "Kochan, there's this really cool playground. You gotta see it." Izu-tan grabbed my hand, but I stopped him. He looks confused.
"Wait. I'll be right back." He lets go of my hand and I turn back to Mommy, running into her arms. "I love my surprise. Thank you Mommy." I say and I feel her smile against my hair.
"You're welcome. Now go have fun with Izuku and Katsuki." She orders, pushing me over to my friends. "I'll be back later, see you later Kontaru." I was already running towards the playground by the time Mommy finished her sentence.

After looking at the playground - which was awesome, there was a huge jungle gym with three slides and swings and a sandbox - we went exploring in the small woody area behind the playground. We tried to climb some of the shorter trees, but we weren't all that good at it. It didn't matter because when Kazu-tan tried to climb the tree, he fell and landed in a mud puddle.
Izu-tan and I burst out laughing as Kazu-tan wipes his face, trying to look scary when his was as red as an apple, wasn't working. We laughed harder as he launched himself. Our squealing as an all-out mud war started, got Kyotani-san's attention. Her cat eyes landing on us, making us stop quickly.
Heads hanging in shame as we were led back to the rest of the class.
Kyotani-san handed us over to another woman with bright red hair and green scales under her eyes. Kyotani-san called her Hibichi-sensei. And Hibichi-sensei took us to a small bathroom to get rid of our dirty clothes and washed us down, then giving us some spare clothes.
"I'm going to go wash these, but for now, stay inside. We're about to begin today's lesson." She instructs, her s's were funny. Kinda like a hiss. She smiles and pushes us lightly into the main room, before leaving, our dirty clothes in her hands.
We stand outside of the bathroom, unsure of what to do now. The other kids were doing what they were doing with their friends, taking up all of the areas. Except the wooden blocks. I point over there as Izu-tan and Kazu-tan see it too. We smile and race over there.
"I bet I can make the tallest tower!"

My name was called, just as nap time was coming to an end. I sit up sleepily. My fists trying to rub the sleep out of my eyes as Izu-tan reaches out a hand, with his eyes closed, looking for me. I smile sleepily at him and grab it as my name was called again. Izu-tan smiles, his eyes half open, before closing again as Kazu-tan rolls over and snuggles with Izu-tan.
"Kontaru." I hear Mommy call me and I stand up and gather my sleeping mat and blanket. Giving them to Hibichi-sensei as Mommy walks over to me, giving me my backpack and holding out her hand. I put on my backpack and grab her pinkie. Yawning loudly as Kyotani-san started to wake up the other kids.
"Kontaru, how was your day." Instantly I was awake. Smiling widely as I tell her all about my day. About the playground and the tree climbing to the mud bath and washing. I told her about how I totally won the bet of who can make the tallest tower. And I told her how Hibichi-sensei speaks kinda funny, but how she told the best stories. And how we got our clothes back after lunch. Then it was nap time and that's it.
"Sounds like you had a good first day of preschool. I happy for you Kontaru." Mommy smiles brightly at me and I smile right back at her. I love being with my friends, but I missed Mommy and her smile. I love my Mommy the most.
