And so, a few months went by and, not only did I establish my dominance in the school at the UA sports festival where I won against half-an-half, but Deku also seemed to be warming up to the place.

It's a bad thing he had such a great, cute, and friendly personality. Deku was gaining new friends left-and-right.

First friend he made was the Uraraka chick he ran into, then a guy named Iida, then a froggy Tsyu, and finally he had somehow made friends with the cocky bastard, Shoto Todorki, after Deku encouraged him to try his best at the sports festival. Something about using his left side or something. And Now, half-an-half seems to be wherever Deku is. And where ever Deku is, I'm not far behind.

I gotta admit, I was annoyed. The whole strange group was now calling themselves the 'Deku squad' like it was some sort of cliche gang. I don't wanna be apart of any cliche gang of any kind. And if I'm joining any squad, it should at least be named after me.

Deku and I were walking down the pavement like we always do, on our way to the UA high school together. We were in a calming yet heated discussion, Deku mostly babbling about how different pro hero's outfit helped their quirk which I didn't mind listening to.

It was then that we were met with blubbering helium balloon who was stuffing papers in her bags. I noticed her and my face fell to frown.

Uraraka gasped loudly into the morning air when she saw us walking together making Deku, who hadn't noticed her till now, jump and freeze in place.

"You guys live in this neighborhood?!" She asked so loudly that her voice echoed off the houses and into my ears. Instead of scowling and looking away like I was doing, Deku smiled and nodded enthusiastically at her.

"You didn't tell me you were moving around here" Deku said calmly, adjusting his yellow school bag that hung loosely on his shoulder.

The Lollipop took a deep breath before speaking again. "I didn't think you lived here. I thought you two took the city bus."

She sure does notice everything, doesn't she? (That was sarcastic) For someone who likes Deku so much, she doesn't pay that much attention to him.
How selfish..

I felt the weird urge to hit the girl right in the face in that moment and running away. It was the same urge I've been having with, not only the Lollipop, but also all her annoying little friends who were trying to steal Deku away.

I've never wanted to hit someone so badly.. even stupid Kirishma couldn't compete. At least he wasn't trying to steal Deku.

"No, we actually walk to school.. D-do you want to join us?" Deku squeaked.
I held in a growl of refusal.

"I thought you'd never ask!" Uraraka said, already heading on ahead. Deku stumbled to keep with her and I followed behind him, angry that he had invited her.

"Did you finish the 8 page exam paper Mr. Aiwazawa made us do last night about those mind quirks?" Uraraka asked, stuffing, what I assume to be, the exam into her overflowing bag. "I worked on it all night after helping my dad with his work."

"I finished it Tuesday, actually, after helping Kacchan with his paper" Deku told her brightly.

Uraraka smirked either at my sickening cute nickname or the fact that I needed help with homework.

For your information, I actually just wanted to hang out with Deku but whatever..

"At least you finished it early and got a head start..- Wait! Is- is that Todorki up there!" Uraraka suddenly gasped loudly.

My head shot up quickly and I saw a half red and half white tall male bastard hot dog walking ahead of us, black earplugs hanging loosely from his ears. The Half-an-half.

He walked with his back straight like some formal event was about to be taken place and I absolutely hated it. Actually, I hated everything about him down to his too polished shoes that his maids properly did up for him just right while gasping for air and blushing red at his presumed "total hotness" as the girls in 1-A say. What makes him so special?

"Todorki, wait up!!" Uraraka called out too him. She sprinted quickly and tapped his shoulder lightly with her eyes the size of two big golf balls.

"Hm?" I heard him response lightly, taking a ear pierce out his left ear.

"Good morning!" greeted Uraraka. I noticed Deku's pace speed up so I quickly followed him. "I was wondering if you wanted too join us.." she said happily, gesturing to Deku and I who were walking towards the two of them.

Todoroki lips curled up when he saw Deku but then his glance turned to me and his face fell to flat and emotionless.
I hate you too I thought while looking away.

We reached them by coming to a complete hault. Todoroki shrugged dismissively at the purposely. "Sure, I'll join you. Got no where else go."

Like I said.. he's a bastard.

I kept my gaze strictly to the sidewalk as I felt myself follow the group. They all began to walk, side by side with each other and talking loudly. I trailed behind them awkwardly while kicking stray rocks. Deku kept looking over his shoulder at me and casting a nervous glance. I gave him a fake, reassuring smile every time he did just to keep him happy.

Why did it hurt so much? Every time I looked up and saw Deku smiling and/or laughing with the extras instead of me.. I wanted to just straggle something or someone.

The group slipped in through the front gate. I followed behind them as the group continued walking hastily ahead of me. Only Deku looked back to make sure I was there before being dragged into another conversation with the half-an-half bastard.

Scared that I was going to blast up in Deku's face with the anger building up if I didn't leave soon, I rushed past him while scowling and ran into the school before the group could go in so that I could arrive in the 1-A classroom hopefully early and completely alone.

I needed to just.. calm down but holy hell did this feeling hurt. I wanted to punch something or scream or cry or vent but I couldn't that so I held it all in as I sat down at my usual desk, sighing tiredly.

Deku was supposed to be my best friend not Urarka's, not Iida's, or Todorki. Mine.
I felt him slipping away and I knew that I had no way to stop it.
——————————

The moment I've been waiting for came when the unusually late lunch bell rang loudly behind me, signaling the beginning of Lunch.
I flowed in with the rest of the crowd and grabbed an empty blue tray. I went down the line awkwardly to get my lunch, resentfully thanked the lunch lady that rang me up, then I stood still at the edge of all the tables, looking over the people's heads all around me. My eyes silently darted across all the different tables, looking for Deku.

After searching through the tables filled with different kinds of extras, I saw Deku's fluffy green hair poking out in the crowd out of the corner of my eye. It's fluffy curls bobbed around happily in a sort of dance. My feet began carrying me too him without me fully thinking about where I was heading.

I shuffled through the crowd towards him, pushing my way past. There he sat in the very middle of the table, smiling happily.

I smiled just looking at him before my face fell.

Surrounding Deku was the people that call themselves the Deku squad. All of them were smiling and chuckling lightly too themselves, clearly enjoying their lunch time.

My heart dropped deeply into the bottom of my stomach when I saw that there was no empty seats left for me too sit in. All of the chairs were taken. I felt embarrassed for even thinking of coming over and I was still standing there, awkwardly and embarrassed.

"I-oh, hey Kacchan!" Greeted Deku, sending the heads around him too turn towards me. Deku's face also fell when he realized that there were no more left seats for me.

Deku frowned deeply, not knowing what to do. I grew.. angry? Was that what this feeling of betrayal was.

I looked away from him, suddenly feeling my skin burn up.

Instead of getting up and moving to come sit with me like we always do without a second thought, he choose to stay with his 'Deku squad'.. and why in the hell are my eyes tearing up at the thought?! I couldn't stand it. I had too  just leave.

Deku, finally deciding what to do, stood up abruptly. He had a look of fear and determination placed on his face. His eyes kept glancing nervously at his classmates for help
then back to me, who was completely frozen.

I gritted my teeth angrily. "I'm done with this.." I huff.
Scowling, I turned away from him

"Kacchan, wait!" I heard Deku's voice called out to me but I was too busy leaving and trying to calm down to care.

"Sit down, Midoriya, before the teachers come." I heard the half-an-half bastard say to Deku. I heard Deku sigh loudly and sit back down only making me more rilled up.

I pushed angrily through the crowd once more feeling envious of the people sitting around my Deku instead of me being excited to see him like I once was. Now, I regretted even thinking of looking for Deku. He had so clearly moved on and so would I. No matter how difficult it would be.

My grip tighten around the corners of my tray, turning my hands pale white. My eyes scurried across the crowd again but this time, I wasn't looking for anyone anymore but  just a place to finally sit as I began feeling like I was going to puke.

In the corner sat an white empty table with only 5 seats sitting around that no one had seemed to claim.
Perfect..

I started heading over there. My feet felt like they were echoing across the lunch room and the eyes around me felt like they were immediately darting to me as I sat down at the table by myself. I tried to ignore all of it.

I smacked my tray down and began picking at my load of bread, placing it into my mouth, then chewing softly.

My mind wouldn't turn off. It radiated with the moments that just happened.
Deku's face when he relaized.. his smile when he was with his squad.. the feeling of neglect..-

"Hey buddy!" I heard a strange voice call too me and a large crash of a tray being placed down. The sound made me jump for I was so lost in my own thought. I scowled at my reaction. "Mind if I join you?" The guy now in front of me asked.

I then realized who it was. It was Denki Kamanari or, as I know him, the weird kid with the electric quirk that always seems makes the emo-jack-plug-girl laugh so hard. He's always an idiot when it comes too simple classwork, I've noticed after hearing all the questions he had.?He also always seems to always be hanging around with Kirishma during class time and training, joking around and flirting with the girls.

"I do." I say gruffly, wanting to just be alone already.

"You do what?" He asked, already sitting his butt down and opening a bag of chips.

"Mind," I repeated through gritted teeth.

This Denki kid shrugs at me. "There are no other seats left. You're the only empty table," He states while munching loudly on a potato chip. "Plus, I assumed you'd let me sit here because we're.. classmates and all that.. we can be friends if you want to be!"

"I don't want to be friend with you" I tell him.

"Wow. Well. Just ouch, man. That hurt a ton." He looked up at the ceiling like it didn't hurt that much.

Was this guy okay or just a complete idiot?

Silence overwhelmed us as Denki munched loudly on his chips and I picked at my bread and tried making intimidating eye contact with the extra across for me.. His eyes were darting around the room for someone. Trying to intimidate him was very difficult but I could tell he was beginning to get nervous.

I heard him mumble something under his breath before a voice spring out from behind him scaring the both of us.

"H-Hey guys!" Said a cheerful Kirishma, looking more red than normal. "Mind if I join you?"

I was about to protest but Denki nodded his head eagerly, beckoning Weird Hair to sit. And so, Kirishma sat right across form me. He slapped his tray down sending an unnaturally soft echo that kinda freaked me out.

"Mina and Sero are coming soon. Mina got stuck in the bathroom." Kirishma told Denki with full on eye contact.

That's scary...

"Again?!" Groaned Denki. "She's always in the bathroom..-"

In that moment, a pink blur sat herself down next to me scaring the living begesus out of me.  "If you only knew what I knew!" The pink blurred said as soon as she sat down. She turned to face me, froze, then gasped. "Oh.. hey Bakugou~" she said, smirking like she knows all.

"HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW MY NAME, PINKIE?!" I finally yell making the people sitting around me jump.

"Calm down, dude!" Denki yelled and surprisingly, it actaully sorta calmed me down. I panted a bit before glaring back at the pink alien chick.

"Everyone knows your name." Pinkie rolled her eyes. "After you punched Kirishma, the whole school knows..-"

"B-but it's fine though!" Squeaked a red Kirishma, waving his hands around. "I-I just-"
he began before being cut off.

"Mina?" Denki asked her making the Pinkie perk up. "Do you know where Sero is?"

"Bathroom." She stated, finally beginning to eat her food. At that moment, I felt a guy sit himself next to me.

What, do they have some mating call or something? And why are they all sitting around me?!

"Hey guys" greeted, who I assumed was, the Sero kid. His weird elbows hit my arm making me immediately scooch far away from him. "What'd I miss?" He asked calmly, smiling weirdly.

"You got here right in time!" Mina squealed cheerfully right into my ear. She bounced around as she spook. "We were just talking about how Bakugou punched Kirishma on the first day..-"

"Which is completely fine and I totally forgive him!" blurted Kirishma, "he must've had a good reason too punch me."

I grunted and shrugged, not knowing how to respond.

"Why were you sitting here alone before?" Sero asked me, filling the brief moment of silence.

"Dude!" Denki hushed him angrily. He put one finger to his lips, signaling for Sero too stop whatever he was saying.

"It's fine.." I grumbled. "Deku's sitting with his other friends so I'm here by myself-"

"I'm sorry too hear that" Kirishma said empathetically, not looking sympathetic at all. He gave me the weirdest look.

Things went quiet for a moment as Kirishma stared deeply at me, kinda freaking me out.

"Anyways!" Squeaked Denki. He looked at Mina for some help.

"Did I tell you guys about the time I almost broke my big toe?" Mina asked. I snickered at this along with Denki who said in a sorta whisper, "That's all you can come up with?"

And so, a conversation broke out between all of us and I was surprised to find myself actually enjoying it. The conversation started off normally, then came in the school gossip, some laughter after Sero got tomato sauce everywhere that even I joined in on, and then soon we were teasing each other and there was a whole lot of memes. I slowly grew comfortable with them till the bell finally rang, dismissing us back to our classes.

Since we were all heading the same way back to the same classroom, we dumped our trays off together and talked the whole way out to the hall way. While leaving, I saw a flash of Deku's green hair making my head spin. Somehow I had completely forgotten about him while talking with the group.

I saw him talking excitedly next to the hallway walls near a big, bright window. He was chatting excitedly with the half-an-half bastard, Todokri, who was nodding along with Deku while making direct eye contact. Deku turned his head and finally noticed me. To my surprise, he suddenly looked scared. Like I was going to hurt him or..-

"Hey dude! You alright?" Kirishma asked me. He had trailed behind from the group like I did so we were walking side by side. I tried swaying to the right away from him to keep our distance. He felt so strangely close to me.

"I'm fine," I grumble awkwardly. I drew my attention from Deku and tried making eye contact with Kirishma.

"Well, okay. Your eyes just seemed to immediately look for that Deku guy when you left so I- I didn't know.."

"I did!" I said without thinking. "Dang it.." I mumble to myself angrily for even thinking about the back stabbing Deku.

"Hey.. it's-it's alright. We've all been there," Kirishma comforted me.

I scowled.

"But now you have us!" He pointed to his chest and gestured to the group walking in front of us. "We can be your new and fully loyal friends!"

A smile played on my lips. "Fine.." I sigh. "But don't do anything completely stupid."

Kirishma smiled brightly, showing his shark-like teeth. "Yeah, sure!" He jokingly said while shoving his hard elbow into my arm.

I gave him a death look making Kirishma laugh. I chuckled softly with him as we traveled back down the halls.

Now, I regretted even thinking or looking for that Deku. He had clearly moved on and so would I. No matter how difficult it was.

I looked up to look at the group walking happily in front of me.

Maybe this group of extras won't be so bad..
