The classroom filled with commotion as everyone scrambled about gathering all there things. I mean who wouldn't? It was that last bell signaling school was dismissed for the day. Everyone hurried out the door going there separate ways. The two toned hair boy made his way home, hoping his father wasn't back from work yet. To his luck he was, all you could hear was clatter and ruckus as his father trained.
There was no way he could concentrate here no matter how hard he tried. Grabbing his book bag he headed for the door. "where are you going" His sister asked. "I'm going to the library for a bit" He responded in his usual cold voice before exiting his home.
As he entered the Library he was hit with the smell of warn books and a powerful sense of tranquility. Sitting at a empty table he took out a white and black composition book. Dear Journal, his pen moved swiftly along the paper as he poured his feelings from the day into the notebook. This was his way of escaping the pressure of reality, the pressure his father put on him to become the number one hero. He hide his emotions with a stern look of apathy half the time.
He was so engaged in his writing he didn't notice his curious classmate observing his from a nearby table. Momo watched Interested in why Todoroki was here out of all places. 'maybe I should ask' She thought to herself. before she could even consider it she started walking up to the boy.
She tapped him lightly on his shoulder, causing him to jump but it wasn't to noticeable. "Hey Todoroki" She says giving a warm smile and taking the seat across from him. He looked up and closed the book looking at the girl across from him. "what brings you here today, iv never seen you here before" she asks him. "I-uh just needed to focus on some things" He says while directing his attention down to the floor.
Noticing he looked a little uncomfortable Momo changed the subject. "Well i hope you don't mind me sitting here" She says giving him a warm smile. Looking up from the ground he nods his head signaling he didn't mind. He looked at her hands which held a book of poems. Noticing he was looking at the book she handed the book to him. Hesitantly he took the book. "Iv already read it 3 times, its a really good book you can check it out if you want" She told him. "thanks" He managed to say.
The young girl reached into her bag and pulled out another book. She started to silently read it. Todoroki who was still a little uncomfortable starred at the girl for a moment before continuing his writing. Both of the students zoning back into there own little world.
Occasionally they would look up at each other and make eye contact but quickly look away. Momo looked at her phone and saw it was already 7 o'clock. She quickly put her book back in her bag and stood up, catching Todorokis attention. "Its getting late I'v got to go home know,i'll see you tomorrow Todoroki." She said waving while quickly walking out of the library.
He was enjoying her presence so if she left he though he should leave to. A couple minutes after she left he got up and check out the book of poems. He made his way home while reading the book, he could see why she liked it so much, most of the poems where really good but he really took liking to one.
when i'm alone, I hold my phone and sit in silence
observing the dawn
the feeling of guilt floods me tenderly as I cry on my very own
Why do I feel guilty?
because I have no one to comfort me and no Home
to get away from the storm

He reread the poem many times, every time he did he felt like he understood it a little to well. A feeling of sadness rushed over him but he quickly shook it out of his head. Opening the door to his house he gently closed it back as he went to him room. As he got in his bed he finished up the book. He looked at the poem one last time before closing it and going to bed.
