MIdoriya POV

I had to rush if I had any chance of getting to class on time, I felt my anxiety get worse with each passing second until I eventually reached the classroom five and a half minutes late, I could hear my heart beating a kilometer a minute. I almost didn't hear Aizawa-sensei.

"Midoriya. Your late," he seemed more annoyed than angry, I started rambling an apology, until he interrupted me. "Just take your seat, I have a class to teach."

"Yes, Aizawa-sensei!" I bowed before rushing to my spot.

I could bearly force on the morning lessons because I was too busy worrying about having to talk to Todoroki during lunch!

Morning classes ended unbelievably quickly especially since I didn't pay attention in class, I'll I could think of was what I was going to say to Todoroki...

But before I could even go over to him, Iida and Ochaco came right to my desk. "Midoriya, you were late is everything ok?!" he asked, kindly demanding an answer.

"I-I forgot to turn on my alarm, that's all!" I nervously answered with my goto excuse. I really hate lying to them but I couldn't tell them the truth that would be even worse!

"Well, that's a relief! I'm just glad that nothing wrong Deku!" she spoke in her usual bubbly voice.

"Midoriya! You need to be more careful about getting to school on time! You are at the prestigious UA, you need be sure to arrive on time every day, in fact, a UA student should be at least ten minutes early to be on time!" he lectured, making me feel even worse. "But now let's not waste time in what happened in the past! it is time for lunch!"

"I'll meet you there!" I told them as they left the room, and just as I thought there were only two other people left, Aoyama, who always ate lunch in the classroom, and Todoroki, who was walking towards me. "Uh.. hi Todoroki." my voice lost all confidence as I looked at his beautiful face.

"Hello Midoriya, it what's wrong?" " he asked sincerely, which should have made me a bit calmer but instead it made me more anxious! Anxiety is never rationale!

"I-I wanted to talk about what happened yesterday..." I muttered nervously.

"What about it?" he seemed to completely forget about me leaving.

"I ran away... I'm really sorry about that..."

"It's fine," the told me, "I'm just happy for the rest of the afternoon," and he smiled his small heartwarming smile he's so pure and sweet I just wanted to be his boyfriend, but I couldn't risk what we have!

"We should probably get lunch. chances are didn't have time to eat breakfast this morning."

"Uh yeah, "I responded and led him to Lunch Rush.

Todoroki's POV

I could tell from the moment he entered the classroom that something was bothering him. I just knew that it was something besides oversleeping. I decided to not bring it up, I don't like to pry or stick my nose where it doesn't belong.

when lunch came around I waited for Midoriya while he talked to Iida and Uraraka about being late for school. Soon he came over to me, and apologies about leaving me at the arcade. told him that I already forgave him, I knew that there was something he wasn't telling me, but I didn't pry. instead, I suggested that we got lunch, to which he agreed.

At lunch, we sat with the same people, and as always Midoriya did his best to include me. by the end of lunch, I could tell that was feeling back to normal, though he seemed to have difficulty maintaining eye contact with me.

Afternoon classes went normally until the very end of the day when Aizawa-sensei made an announcement. He reminded us that the finals started in a week. everyone started freaking out about that, worrying they weren't going to do well and started forming study groups. I didn't understand why people needed a lot of studying, all the material was easy to understand if you simply paid attention in class.

during the chaos, the green-haired boy went up to me and asked if I wanted to study with him. I didn't need help preparing for the exam, and I knew from the midterm standings he didn't need help either. despite all that I said yes. I wanted to spend more time with him, it made me happy in a way I never felt before. I guess that this must be what friendship feels like. although I do not get these feelings about Iida or Uraraka.
