15 Apology

"Itsu. That was too much. You should go and apologize to her. You should know how much she is conscious of her.. breasts.." said Izuku.

For those months they've know each other, they have become quite close with each other and Izuku didn't mind her physical contact anymore. He even gave her a nickname. His only worry was Katsuro. She got more distant again and Izuku didn't like it.

"Yeah, I suppose you are right. She never ran away like that before. She usually just replies with some bark but this time, it was different." replied Itsuka.

She silently walked towards the door and left the room.

Izuku sighed and murmured,"I hope they will make up someday."

***************************************************

Katsuro looked into the mirror reflection of herself and thought about her appearance.

Why do I look so unattractive? There really isn't a single redeeming feature I have. That stupid cow tits pro hero was right, my chest is small, I don't look beautiful nor do I have a nice smile. Instead, I have a smile of a serial killer. How great, thanks old hag.

My hair is fucking bad as well.

She touched her spiky blond hair and tried to flatten it, but to no avail. It didn't work.

"I need to ask my old hag, nah.. Shr will just tease me again. I will find some guides on the internet to make my hair smoother." she mumbled.

"Hoh? I didn't expect you of all people would care about your appearance. I guess I've seen everything now."a voice of a girl she didn't want to see echoed from the bathroom door.

"What the hell do you want from me? Want to provoke me again? Go ahead. I don't care anymore." said Katsuro.

"No, actually, I've come to apologize for being such an ass." sighed Itsuka.

Katsuro widened her eyes in a surprise. She expected everything, but not an apology.

"Look, I've been trying to talk to you for a long time, but you just brushed me off every time. So, I changed my tactic. I wanted to annoy you so much, that we would get a proper talk."

Katsuro clicked her tongue and replied, "Look, it's true that I don't act nicely to anyone, but I have my reasons. I don't want to create another friendship if it's not going last."

"I Like Izuku" murmured Izuka.

The room was enveloped in silence.

"Wh-What did you just say?!" shouted Katsuro.

"I like Izuku, and I know you like him too."

"Who would like that fucking nerd?! Stop spouting nonsense!"

Itsuka leaned on the floor and replied, "Okay. Here is the thing. I've become one of you, people don't really talk to me that often, because I am spending time with you guys. From time to time some people still try talking to me, but it's nothing great. But I don't mind, because whrn I am with you guys, I feel like I am home. I really like Izuku, you can even say that I love him, I enjoy spending time with him, I also enjoy spending time with you. Even though you don't like me, I want to be your friend. Well, I consider you my friend already, but please, don't take my provocations to heart. I am not serious about any of them. At all."

Katsuro's brain overcooked with all of the info.She wants to be my friend? She didn't mean any of her insults? But more importantly, she really likes Deku?

"I know that you are trying to hide it, but you can't hide it from me. If you don't want to be my friend, then.. You will be my rival in love!" replied Itsuka.

Katsuro wasn't sure how to respond.

Should I tell her the truth? She wouldn't tell Deku, would she? Nah, knowing her, she would probably tell it to every single person in their school. But I need to talk with someone about my feelings

"Alright, I admit that I feel something for the nerd, but it's not love. Not yet anyway."

Itsuka was surprised that Katsuro actually admitted that she liked him a bit.

"Alright! From now on, you are my friend, and a rival in love! Our goal, is to make Izu fall for us!" replied the enthusiastic girl.

"Like I said, to hell with friends, I don't need any, but I can be your rival." commented Katsuro.

"Now, let's go back to class! We need to show Izuku that we get along. That will be our first step in conquering him!"

"I see, well.. It's true that he is always worried about us for no reason whatsoever. I don't mind having you around us when you don't talk about the friend crap." said Katsuro.

Too easy. This girl is too easy. I didn't even need to think of a plan to get her as my friend. Just talk about Izu all the time and job done! Thought Itsuka.

They entered the classroom for the second time that day, and together, they went towards Izuku.

He was mumbling something under his nose while scribbling into his small notebook.

He looked up and a big smile emerged on his face.

"Hi girls, it looks like you made up! That's awesome! I didn't expect you would be done so quickly Itsuka."

Itsuka smiled and said, "oh well.. Some stuff happened, and we have officially become good friends."

"We aren't friends." Katsuro shook her head.

"Alright.. We have officially become rivals."

This time Katsuro just nodded without saying anything back, and went back to her seat.

"Rivals? What are you competing in? Quirks or brain power?" asked Izuku.

Itsuka put her index finger on his lips and said "That's a secret Izu!"

Izuku was clearly confused, but decided to let the matter go.

"Alright fine... Still can't believe that you somehow befriended Kacchan. I know it's too late for this, but welcome to our group Itsuka."

"It really is too late, but thanks anyway."

Our fight is just beginning
