WHITE COTTONY CLOUDS spread through the sky, covering the blazing sun then soon travelling forward, letting the rays fall upon the civilians.

The partly cloudy and pleasant day of spring did nothing to lift up your mood as always, but that was until you spotted a familiar boy strolling through hallway carelessly, very much mirroring your movements.

It was easy to recognise him from afar as his hairstyle- pretty much mimicked a rooster's crown and it practically drew people's attention in, but not in a good way. You never understood how these middle schoolers found it cool because they only looked like fools.

He waved at you which you returned with a smile. "Hello there, Chifuyu." you greeted.

He replied with a, "Yo." he proceeded to walk past you with confident steps and you continued to head towards your own class.

Chifuyu was a day younger than you and when he found out, he offered you to call him by his first name, not the surname.

The way Chifuyu carried himself was one of the many reasons why all of the school mates were afraid of him. His physical strength and other typical delinquent tendencies added to the fearful aura.

It was like every other day when you two would greet each other like this. There's also little story of how you two became acquaintances.

༺═──────────────═༻

You reached towards your shoe rack and pulled it open only to get dragged back by someone as they got ahold of your collar. You turned around and came face to face with two familiar faces which you found rather unpleasant.

"What's your problem,Hanako?" You demanded with a drawl.

The girl's eye twitched, "What's MY problem?What's YOURS?" she said pointing a finger at you.

You eyed her index finger with raised brows then stared back at her face with a stoic expression."huh?".

"Akane-chan and I spent a whole hour at the detention today just because you didn't do our homework!" She exclaimed, her face slowly began to turn red.

Akane on the other hand just nodded her head in agreement and said nothing.

"I think I told you I was going to be be busy." you reminded her.

"And I think I told you I didn't care." she retorted with a smug look. You narrowed your eyes at her wanting to gauge her eyes out.

She seemed to notice your threatening expressions as without a warning she slammed her knee to your stomach causing you to clutch the spot at the impact and crouch down, leaving you grasping for breath.

You groaned, trying to get up but were immediately pushed back as Akane showered kicks at your back.

You try to shield the kicks with your arms but that's all you could do because you were outnumbered.

"This will teach you a lesson." said Hanako with a smirk, joining in.

It all continued until a male voice boomed,"What's going on in here?"

You lifted your head up to look at the blonde haired guy, a famous delinquent of the school, known to kick butts and being a badass. The one and only Chifuyu Matsuno.

Hanako panicked. She backed away.

He raised his eyebrow her.

Hanko let out a nervous chuckle and reasoned, "We were just...Uh..talking, like friends you know?"

"Oh yeah? I have never seen two friends 'talking' to their friend through kicks," he said with a glare. When he didn't receive a reply so he continued, "Get out. I don't want to see your faces."

"Yes!" they replied in unison and left the spot in a hurry.

༺═──────────────═༻

You finally reached the class and noticed someone already seated on a bench in the empty classroom, writing something in his notebook.

It was the second day of the school and you had never seen this guy in your class before. Wait, he's probably the guy who got held back.

Though, judging by his attire he didn't seem like someone who would get held back for another year.

Hair gelled, slicked and tied back. The dark pair of eyes was hidden behind thick rimmed glasses as he scribbled furiously in his notebook with a frown of concentration fixated upon his face.

A typical nerd look. Nothing about the situation made sense.

It seemed like he caught you staring; he raised his head to gaze back at you and you slightly jumped on the spot. Shit he caught me.

"What are you staring at?" he questioned and proceeded to focus back on his work.

You shifted on your feet but decided to move. Walking towards him, you took a seat at the front and faced him then stared at his notebook, inspecting his writing. It was absolutely shit. But you weren't going to say that out loud.

He scratched his forehead with the pencil, frowning at his notebook.

"Do you need some help?" you asked noticing his struggle.

"No," he denied. "A dude already helped me with that before."

You didn't look at him when he said it but instead Inspected his writing. It appeared out that he was writing a letter to someone and it included hell lot of mistakes.

The dude from earlier must be dumb as well.

"This word right here is wrong." you pointed out.

"Huh!?" he stated at the word you were pointing your finger at. "Wait, for real?" his eyebrows furrowed up in concentration.

You nodded and took the pencil from his hand, slightly startling him, but you paid no mind to that and wrote down the word correctly on the side, "Here, this is how you write 'Nai'"

You offered the pencil back to him.

"Oh!" realisation dawned onto his face and so did a light blush out of embarrassment as he grasped his pencil back and corrected the spelling.

"Thankyou." he murmured and tried to hide the blush of his face. Cute.

"It's totally fine." You waved it off with a smile.

The school time was over and you couldn't be more grateful for that just like any other students.

Teenagers walked side by side with their friends, heading towards their homes, laughing and chatting with them. Unlike you, who had no friend by your side. Not that you were complaining, you liked it that way... or that was what you told yourself.

You sauntered outside of the gates only to trip over a metal rod lying around. "Shit." you somehow managed to maintain your balance and avoided your fall.

Mentally, you cursed the school for deciding to fix the main gate after the holidays. What were they doing all these days before opening the school!?

Various profanities were muttered under your breath as you exited the gate.

You crossed the bridge while having the nerd boy in your mind. If he was that dumb then why was his attire like typical nerd. You found it very amusing then only cursing at yourself when realised that he had occupied your mind way too much since you two met.

But you told yourself that it was the case because he was a bit strange.

As you were walking, your eyes noticed a familiar figure beating up bunch of hooligans. Your steps halted when you stared at the scene before you.

"Bunch of lameos." said Chifuyu spitting on the side and taking off his blazer. Rip road. "Ambushing me with twenty guys and calling yourself a biker gang?"

He wasted no second and started the fight with a headbutt.

Pfft!

It went well until a powerful kick landed on his face making him stumble over to the side. "Shit!" he grunted.

More kicked were thrown at him making it hard for him to make a comeback.

That reminded you of your first encounter with Chifuyu.

Your eyes were done seeing the sight in front of you so your mind decided to pay him back for his kindness he showed the other day.

Wasting no time you inspected the surroundings looking for an appropriate weapon. Luckily enough you found a few, fairly big pebbles lying around. Time to get useful, Pebblo.

You picked them up and aimed it at the leader.

"Time to split your head open." said the gang leader menacingly with a grin as he lifted up a heavy mop.

As he celebrated his victory, the pebble was released from your grasp collided against his head. Let's go!

Soon the hot crimson blood began tickling down from his forehead and made its way towards his chin, slowly dripping down on the road. It was the cherry on top.

"What the heck?" he questioned searching for the culprit who was responsible for it.

You, who were hiding behind the building after crime, slowly stepped out from the shadow and faced the leader. "You think you're all that?" you spoke catching their attention.

Your heart was beating at wild pace. You were afraid it was going to jump out of your throat.

"Y/N... " gasped Chifuyu with wide eyes as he spotted you.

"I would suggest you guys to back off," you said pointing your index finger at them. You hoped they wouldn't notice the trembling of your hand. "Or you will pay.. my brother's in a dangerous gang." you lied through your teeth, maintaining a poker face.

"Ohh... Shiver me timbers!" mocked the gang leader, faking a shiver. His followers mimicked him. "You thought a girl like you could hit me with a stone from the shadows and I'll let you go?"

You gulp.

"Why are you making stuff up. I didn't think that, bitch." you threw yet another stone which was already in your grip before, catching him off guard.

"You whor-" he began but was interrupted.

"Shut up. Your face is the ugliest thing I've seen today and I'd rather hear to James Charles than your ugly ass voice."

By the time you finished, he was shaking with rage. "Too much nonsense, time to ruin you!" he spoke through gritted teeth.

Your stomach was having a sinking feeling. You hardly noticed your irregular breathing as your worried eyes darted to Chifuyu who looked like he could handle the rest. Phew it worked.

"Grab her, men!" he ordered.

You flinch and took several steps back, preparing to run.

But before the men could take even one step forward, you noticed a familiar figure from the earlier, approaching the scene.

It was the very same nerdy guy you helped.

"Ganging up on a guy and a girl and using a weapon? Damn you suck." he commented, taking a step further towards the gang leader.

The leader frowned at him, "Huh?! The fuck are you!?" he roared grabbing his collar roughly.

"Poindexter?!" Exclaimed the blond beside you, his face showing nothing but surprise.

"Ah! I got my letter sent," said the 'Poindexter' to Chifuyu with a small grin, "Thanks man." he added.

"ARE YOU DEAF?!" the gang leader yelled, showering his spit on the nerds face. Ewww Gross.

"Why not let me join as a thanks?" he continued, totally ignoring the guy.

Chifuyu's eyes looked ready bulge out from the sockets, "You moron! This is no place for-"

His sentence was cut off when the he landed a powerful punch on the guy's face, cracking his nose and the wall behind in the process.

"Huh? Just one punch?" You and Chifuyu said together at once with wide eyes. Saitama who.

Ever so slowly he took off his glasses and untied his, silky, raven hair, letting it fall freely on his shoulders.

"First division captain of Tokyo Manji Gang," he began, slamming his fist on his other palm as he grinned widely showing his prominent features which were his sharp canines, "Baji Kiesuke!
