12 Rejection

Katsuro silently glared upon the new girl. For a second, both of their gazes met and Itsuka was confused with the hostility Katsuro generated.

She lightly tapped Izuku on the shoulder and whispered,

"Everyone is so welcoming here, but that girl in the back looks like she doesn't like me for some reason. She is even glaring at me." said Itsuka.

Izuku looked the way her fingers pointed, just to see a mad Katsuro glaring daggers into them. "A-Ah.. Don't take it to heart Kendo. Kacchan is like that to everyone." replied Izuku.

"Kacchan?"

"She is my best, and currently, the only friend I've ever had, so I really value her a lot. She is usually cursing and screaming at everyone, but she is a good person." replied Izuku.

"Then, I will be your second friend!" smiled Kendo.

Izuku lightly blushed and said,"S-Sure.."

"Okay class. Let's begin our first lesson. Kendo, go sit behind Midoriya and Bakugo." said Kusuo.

Izuku and Itsuka went to their seats. As Izuku sat down, he couldn't help but glance at his childhood friend from the corner of his eye.

Katsuro grabbed his arm and tightly squeezed it.

"Ouch. Kacchan.. Stop.."

"You've got some nerve... Deku...."

"Hm? What do you mean by that?"

Katsuro didn't reply and she continued squeezing his arm.

"Kacchan that hurts. Please stop."

Izuku was bewildered at what was happening.

She was literally ignoring him this morning, but now.. She is actually breakinghis arm.

"Who the hell is that girl, where the fuck were you two??" whispered Katsuro.

"I don't know, I've met her this morning and she said that I should go with her to the teachers office. Later on, I've received a notice, that I will become the class president." replied Deku.

Her grip on his arm loosened, and he could finally feel some blood pumping in his left arm.

"I see. Well. I assume that you won't speak with her again then?"

"What do you mean by that? She is a cheerful girl and we quickly got along." replied Izuku.

"Hah. Deku.. I don't think you realize what making a friend is like. You make a friend, and then, they will betray you." Katsuro looked at him with emotionless eyes.

"What do you mean by that? Then how are we two friends? I don't play on betraying you!" said Izuku.

"Exactly! Because you are you! The Deku! We are best friends since childhood. It would be weird if we separated, right? Right?"

The tone of her voice got more sinister, and for some reason Izuku felt, that if he answered wrong, he would die.

"Look Kacchan, I know what you mean, but you can't just go around isolating yourself from the world. One day, we will have tons of friends, at least, that's what I believe in!" Izuku cheerfully replied.

Katsuro looked at him for a moment before falling silent.

The bell rang, and the first class officially started.

Kusuo asked some questions related to his subject, but the only person that responded to him was Izuku. It's not like people didn't want to respond to their new teacher, but they were unable to. The questions he asked were so hard, that the only one that raised his hand was Izuku.

Kids in the class were getting angrier by every second.

How can this quirkless trash be better than us?

But, no one doubted his ability anymore. That was exactly what Kusuo wanted.

He wanted Midoriya to show them what he is made off. They shouldn't take him lightly anymore.

Katsuro didn't talk to him again, and the class peacefully ended.

It was a break, and Itsuka's table was surrounded with people.

"What is your favorite hobby?" "What is your favorite sport?"

"What quirk do you have?"

All kinds of questions were thrown at her and she responded to all of them without a problem.

"I am sorry everyone, but I want to talk to Izuku as well. Now, if you excuse me."

Itsuka left her seat and walked up to Izuku, leaving her classmates dumbfounded.

Did she just use his first name?

Katsuro angrily glared at her, she didn't expect that she would call him by his first name.

Even she doesn't do that, because she can't bring herself to do it.

"Hi Izuku, Ah. This must be your childhood friend Kacchan, right?" she cheerfully asked.

Katsuro's hostility hit the roof the moment she spoke her nickname.

She knows about it? Just how much did he tell her?! How close are they!?

"Tch. Don't look at me you extra! I don't plan on making friends. Also, since you are the vice-president, I expect you to help Deku." she clicked her tongue and replied.

This answer left Itsuka surprised, since she believed that people didn't talk to her because she was friends with Izuku, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

"Deku? What's that?" asked Itsuka.

Izuku embarrassingly scratched his head and replied, "Oh, actually.. That's my nickname. She likes to give people nicknames. Don't take it to heart."

"Okay, so, what does it mean?"

"It means worthless and bad at everything. Now, I know it's not a nice nickname, but I started to like it a while ago, and I don't have any problems with it anymore."

"Hm..ist that so.."

I guess I was wrong. She is just an unfriendly person in general. I can't deal with those.. I don't know how to talk to them without angering them, and I hate it when I anger someone. But, I won't give up, I need to find way to break the ice between us! Thought Itsuka.

She came closer to Katsuro, and hugged her in friendly way.

"Nice to meet you!"

"Don't touch me! Ginger bread!" screamed Katsuro.

"How mean! I just want to know you better!"

"Leave me alone, I don't want your sympathy. I don't need friends!"

Her explosion quirk was on the verge of activating, but Kusuo was around and stopped her before she could use it.

"Now now, student Bakugo. You are not authorized to use your quirk on the school grounds without a permission. I hope this won't happen again."

Kusuo gave her a cold smile and walked off.

"Tch. How did he get here so fast? Didn't he leave 5 minutes ago?"

Katsuro was angry at him, interrupting her quirk.
