A Fictional Reality

•°• Chapter 4 •°•

   "This early?!" He exclaimed incredulously, which alarmed me. "Sorry, that was rude." The boy gestured for me to continue.

   "Not technically. I'm the type of person who wants to be an hour early than a second late." I explained. He processed this inside of his head, I'm basing this from his facial expression. "How about you? Why are you here?" I queried, curiosity evident from my voice.

   He stiffened from his place. "I-uh," Midoriya-san swallowed a lump in his throat, sweating hard. "-I was meeting someone today."

   "With that appearance?" I pointed out his body. That only made him panic even more.

   "Ye-yeah. Remember the man with me the other day? We. . . Agreed to have a jog and uh. . . I had warmed up myself, before he arrives." He elucidated, playing with his fingers.

   "Okay?" I checked the time on my watch. Half an hour and the ceremony will start. "I should be going now, I'll see you some other time." I mumbled, taking the path down to school.

   Midoriya-san hummed. "Sure. See you again. . . Some day!" He waved his hand goodbye, but I didn't hear him, sadly.

   Izuku sighed in relief or exhaustion, probably both in this case. "That was uncalled for," Someone whispered to his ear, coming from his back.

   Being the scaredy-cat he is, the boy jumped forward, startled by the person's voice. "All Might?! What was that for?! You scared me half to death!" Izuku shouted, clutching his chest to calm his fast beating heart.

   The number one hero just laughed at the boy's reaction. "Man, being youth is nice. Your lucky, young Midoriya." He commented, patting the boy's head. "Alright, enough with the puppy love and proceed to training!" And that's how their day started, with Izuku suffering in each of the courses. But something was off about him, and All Might knew what it was. The encounter he and [Y/N] had, motivated him to do his best.

Back at [Y/N]. . .

   "Being the early bird as always." Her best friend stated the obvious. The two of them bumped into each other on the way to school, after [Y/N] had that short chat with Izuku.

   "Never thought you'll do the same." [Y/N] teased, her elbow nudging Toga's. They reached the main gate of their middle school. The [H/C] haired female heaved a out a sigh, preparing for what awaits them inside. "Are you ready, Miko-chan?"

   The ash blonde girl grasped [Y/N]'s hand tightly. "I'm ready, if you are!" She happily cheered, leading the way to the venue where their closing ceremony was held at.

   The ceremony started smoothly. The headmaster of the school giving his gratitude to everyone present at the auditorium. May it be students, families, or teachers, even the school staff.

   "Once again, I'll like to congratulate this year's graduating batch! May your dreams be fulfilled after leaving this grade. We have high hopes for your future! Thank you and have a nice day!" He proclaimed, gesturing for the students to be ready in claiming their certificates.

   Their names were called one by one. At last, it was [Y/N]'s turn to go up the stage. Her feelings were jumbled. Either it was because of excitement or nervousness, it didn't stop her to feel overwhelmed.
