*Mei's POV*
- Thursday Afternoon (05:00 PM) -
I'm running out of supplies, I need to do some groceries later.
I booked a cab online and waited for my ride to arrive.
"Haha, oh my gosh you're so funny." jeez, that was a very flirty tone. I look to my side to see who just spoke and to my surprise, it was the woman from the media. She's having a conversation with All Might.
"Hahaha, you're so cute!" What?!!!! Did he just say that she's cute?!!!!
I feel like my head is going to explode. The both of them sounds so fucking annoying.
"So, what do you say? You want to hang out with me later All Might?" why is she touching All Might so casually?!!!!! I can clearly see it from the corner of my eyes!!!!
"Sure Rina!" He's calling the woman with her first name.
"Then, let's meet later at the KTV bar near the Happy Berry Mart, at 7pm." she winked at him.
Happy Berry Mart is where I'm going to do my groceries later since it's the nearest supermarket to my apartment!!! Why did she even chose that place? Like there's a hundred of KTV bars around this city!
Urghhh...
Is this okay?
But, come to think of it. All Might never asked me to be his girlfriend. Last time when the media surrounded the both of us, he told them that I am his girlfriend, maybe he just did that in order to get out from the gazillion questions that was thrown at him.
Yeah, he never did ask me to be his girlfriend.
But still, It hurts. Seeing him being flirted with another woman.
I tightened my grip on my bag. I want the cab to arrive as soon as possible.
*Beep! Beep!*
Thanked GOD!
~~~~~~~
I'm done checking the test papers of my students. I put down the pen on my desk and sigh before stretching both of my arms up.
Toshi has also been very busy these past few days. I'm kind of concern of his health. He's overdoing it.
I should pay him a visit tonight. Maybe he'll come with me to the groceries.
I grabbed my sling bag and went outside the apartment.
There's no way that All Might would come to such place like the KTV bar. He doesn't drink alcohol and he's not into that kind of stuff like doing karaoke.
*Ding Dong*
Toshi should be in his house right now.
*Ding Dong*
*Ding Dong*
He's not answering.
Hmm, I guess I'll text him then.
Me : Toshi. I'm outside your house.
- 5 mins later -
Toshi : I'm not in my house right now.
Me : Oh. Okay hehe.
Toshi : I'm still busy.
Me : Okay, I understand. See you some other time.
I sigh.
I guess I have to do the groceries alone.
I looked at my watch and it's already 08:22pm.
~~~~~~~
"Flour, eggs, sugar...Hmmm, milk. What else do I need to buy? Urgh, right. Meat and vegetables."
This is very exhausting.
But I'm quite happy that the line is not that long when I arrived at the cashier.
"Thank You for your purchase! Please come again!"
I exited from the supermarket and looked at the KTV Bar just beside to where I'm standing.
"Hn, it's like he's going inside there." I said with much confidence.
The door opened at the KTV bar and All Might stepped outside with the woman named Rina.
Of course I was shocked and my eyes widened in surprise. Is he holding a can of beer?! I thought he doesn't like to drink alcohol?!
The woman pushed All Might against the wall and kissed him.
No 😢...
I don't want to see any of these anymore.
I ran away from that place as fast as I could.
It hurts. I'm doing my best not to cry. I hope he wasn't able to see me since I just pass right through them.
*All Might's POV*
As expected, this kind of thing doesn't really entertain me. Rina sings like a dinosaur. This woman is having fun.
It's been years since I last drink some beer. I chuckled.
"Rina. I need to go home." I said.
"Sure. But, can I come with you?"
"I still have a class to do tomorrow, sorry."
"Okay, let's go." she put down the microphone and grabbed my hand.
We exited the bar and Rina suddenly pushed me against the wall, smashing her lips into mine.
I was surprised.
But my senses immediately came back when I saw a white haired woman passed by from our form and was running.
"Mei?!" I exclaimed, pushing Rina away from me.
"Hey, that was harsh." she blurted out.
The woman disappeared. Was that her?
Rina tried to kiss me again. But I avoided it.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I-I just feel tired." I said.
I called a cab for her to get home.
~~~~~~~
*Mei's POV*
I hurriedly ran towards my apartment. I put all the groceries in the kitchen and lock myself up inside my room.
I leaned on the wall, and slowly my body slid down until I was sitting down on the floor.
I drawn my knees up to my chest, hiding my face behind my knees as I wrapped my arms around them.
I silently cried.
They are angry tears and along with those are sad ones. My chest is burning as images of All Might kissing Rina keeps racing through my head.
I chuckled.
How foolish of me to believe in love again.

*All Might's POV*
- Morning '06:30am' inside the Faculty Room -
"Mei-chan?!!! Your eyes! It's so swollen!!! What happened?" Midnight blurted out as Mei came inside the Faculty Room.
"Nothing." she nonchalantly answered.
"You sure?"
Mei nodded before taking a seat on her chair.
What happened to her? Did she cried all night?
She's looking at her class record.
"Nemuri-san, I'll be out for a while. I just forgot something."
"Sure! Be careful okay?"
She didn't respond. Mei grabbed her bag and exited from the Faculty Room.
Where is she going?
~~~~~~~
My period is finally over at the Class 1-A. I walked along the hallway to get back at the Faculty Room.
I can see Mei heading towards my direction...
Ah, she's going to start her class.
We passed by at each other. She was silent and she didn't even look at me.
*Mei's POV*
It's Friday, I shouldn't have any class today at the U.A Academy. But Nezu told us last Tuesday that we should follow the regular schedule of Monday-Thursday time frame just for 3 weeks, in preparation for the upcoming Academy's Festival. He set me in charge for the Class 1-A's presentation program.
"Happy Birthday Kirishima-kun!!!" I greeted the kid as I entered the classroom.
"Oy! Kirishima! It's your birthday?!" Hanta-kun asked.
The shy boy nodded.
"T-Thank You Natsume-Sensei. By the way, how did you know that it's my birthday?"
"It's in my class record haha! By the way, this is for you!" I exclaimed as I gave him the present.
"Waaaa! A present from Natsume-Sensei!!!" a few of them said in unison.
"Kirishima-kun open it! We want to see what's inside!!!"
Kirishima slowly opened his present.
I almost laughed at his reaction. My present just made his jaw drop!
"N-Natsume-Sensei." he mumbled. Wait, is he going to cry?
"NATSUME-SENSEI!!!!" yes he did. He suddenly hugged me, but it's too tight.
"K-Kirishima-k-kun, I can't breath." I stuttered.
He released me from the hug and said thanks to me.
"This shoes! How did you know that this one is my-"
I cut him off.
"Hmmm, well let's just say that I saw you last time staring at those Nike Lunarepic Flyknit running shoes." I winked.
"But Sensei! This shoes is very expensive!"
"I don't mind! As long as it is for my student. And Kirishima-kun, you are such a good kid." I added as I patted his head.
"Wow Kirishima-kun! That running shoes looks so cool!!!!"
He was surrounded by his classmates.
I went to the front and took a sit on my desk. "By the way class, during my period I won't be discussing any lessons. You guys should prepare for your presentations for the upcoming Academy's Festival."
"Hai!" they all answered.
I noticed that Shoto was staring at me. I looked at him and asked "What?" (inaudible).
He gestured something. He was sliding his fingers down from his eyes. "Did you just cry?" (inaudible) I can understand what he's saying even though it was inaudible.
I shook my head, denying the fact that I actually cried.
Shoto raised his eyebrow at me. I just smiled at him.
He gestured something again. By the looks of it, he wants to have a talk with me later after my class.
I nodded.
~~~~~~~
I'll be absent from attending the Cram School this afternoon, I hope I can cope up for the next 3 weeks. I'm kind of worried.
And later this afternoon, I'll help the Class 1-B in designing their props.
*School Bell Ring*
"Natsume-Sensei, can we have lunch together?" Shoto asked.
"Of course."
"I'll wait for you at the rooftop."
*All Might's POV*
Mei entered the Faculty Room and got the bento out from the paper bag. As usual, she cooked something for me. She's been inviting me to have lunch with her but I always decline her offer, I just want her to stay away from me.
Wait, she's going to give the bento to somebody else?! She just exited from this room carrying the 2 bentos with her.
She's been ignoring me since this morning. I wonder why. She's the persistent type, so what just happened to that attitude of hers?
