YOUR POV
Welcome to college. A place were young adults get a mile high stack of homework and about three hours of sleep a night. I'm studying business. I'm also in the same class as Shoto Todoroki, the heir to Todoroki Inc. Everyone in our class is so obsessed with him, sometimes I wonder how he feels about it. I've talked to him once, and he seemed pretty cold and quiet. I respect that, but he just seems like he's hiding something.
Anyways this week is partner week and I'm so excited! I got paired up with Todoroki and I'm hoping I'll get to know him better. And maybe we could become friends.
Walking into the building that holds the business facility I held my bag and notebooks in my arms. Inside I looked up at the grand ceiling as I bumped right into the back of someone dropping all my stuff on the floor. "Ouch!" I dropped down to the floor and tried to get all my stuff back in order. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!" How are you suppose to be a professional business woman when you can't even watch where you're going.
"Are you okay?" I look up and see who's talking to me. "Hey you're (l/n) right?"
It's Todoroki. This just made things even more embarrassing. I wanted to get to know him, but not like this. "Y-yes I am." Todoroki helped me gather my stuff. "I'm suppose to be working with you this week."
As I stood up Todoroki spoke in a monotone voice. "I can't wait to work with you this week (l/n)." And with that, he walked away. He seems as emotionless as ever, but I have a whole week to try and get him to open up.
DAY 1
Our assignment is to make and separate a budget that we were given for a start up business. We need to decide what our business is going to be about, cost for material, and much much more.
I'm waiting at the library for Todoroki. And waiting, and waiting. And he hasn't shown up. I can't make any huge decisions without him. All that I have is a budget which was given to us when we started. Then the main idea for what our company could be making. I thought of stuffed animals, they're cute, cuddly, and kids love them. The supplies would also be cheaper to get my hands off.
I'm hoping he isn't ditching me. I would never think Todoroki would be someone who'd ditch and leave the work to someone else. Shaking my head I pick up my stuff and leave the library. Dissapointed that I got nothing done today.
DAY 2
Sitting at the library again I waited. I asked why, but he told me that he had something going on yesterday. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and just tried to let whatever happened yesterday go.
Hearing the library door open my head shot up. "Over here Todoroki." I waved my hand and yelled whispered. He saw me and walked back over to where I was.
Putting his stuff down, he began to talk. "I'm really sorry that I couldn't make it yesterday, I got caught up with my father back at Todoroki Inc."
"Oh, well then it must've been something a lot more important than a college project."
"N-no. It was very rude of me and I should've at least told you instead of ditching you like that. I'm truly sorry." He stood up and then bowed towards me.
"Oh n-no no no no no. You don't have to apologize Todoroki!"
"Shhhh! Quiet!" The librarian yelled. You know for a librarian she is very loud.
"At least let me make it up to you (l/n). How about I take you to that new restaurant down town." He suggested.
"You mean that really fancy and expensive one? No, really. You don't have to do that Todoroki. It's no big deal really." I tried to explain.
Todoroki grabbed my hands and looked into my eyes. "Just let me do this."
"O-okay." And with that, we were off to the restaurant.
DAY 3
We got a lot done thus afternoon. We decided to go with my stuffed animal idea and started to seperate our budget on a pie chart.
After yesterday I found out some things about Todoroki. He's nice, smarter than I thought, and surprisingly, he really really hates his father. So whenever someone came up to him and noticed that he was related to Enji Todoroki, I tried to redirect the conversation to get his mind off of it.
We also work so well together. Great now I'm sounding like one of his fan girls from class. I packed my stuff up in the library and got ready to leave when Todoroki grasped my shoulder. "Hey, I had fun yesterday. Do you want to umm, go to the park?"
"Umm, sure." I smiled at him. And for a moment I thought that I saw a little pink on his cheeks. And with that, we went to the park.
DAY 4
The park was so much fun! We also got a little more studying in for our business classes. And maybe I fell asleep on his shoulder at the park yesterday. It was a tiny bit embarrassing, but also nice.
The sad thing is that our project is almost done. Maybe we could be friends out of this project. "Hey (l/n). Are you paying attention?"
"Yes. Sorry Todoroki, kind of dazed off."
"It's okay, so let's go over the budget just one more time before the week is done." I nod as he brings up the pie chart on my computer. He starts talking about the percentages as I just stare and think about how I could talk to him about maybe being friends.
After he's done we both pack our stuff up. "Hey Todoroki, can I talk to you about something?"
"Sure (l/n)."
"I know this is very off topic to our project, but do you want to be friends? Like friend friends out of college?"
"Of course (l/n). Granted I thought you knew we were friends." He explains in monotone voice as he tilted his head.
So cute~ I mean umm. Nevermind. "Oh, well that's a little embarrasssing. I just thought you were only going to be my friend while we worked on this project." I scratched my head.
"Oh, sorry if you thought that. But you're really fun to be around." He gives me a small smile.
DAY 5
It's been one whole school week. Still have two days to finish up the project. Granted Todoroki and I are already done. So we decided to just go to the book store and grab some books for next semester.
But I wasn't expecting him to grab an audience. Although I should've remembered that he is the son and heir to a successful business man.
Right when we walked back into the store everyone knew him. We got completely crowded as I was shoved to the ground a few feet away from Todoroki. He instantly noticed it and moved a few people out of the way to get to me. "Are you okay (l/n)?" He offered me his hand.
I took it as I sat up and replied. "Yes, I'm fine Todoroki. Just a few scratches on my elbow."
"Hey, let's get out of here."
DAY 6
After the whole book store incident we decided to just not really go to a public place. So Todoroki invited me over to his house to go over the project one more time with his sister as an audience.
"And that is why we had chosen to sell stuffed animals to the child and or man child consumer." Fuyumi, Todoroki's sister clapped.
"I thought that was a very great presentation you two! Now let me go get you something to eat!" And with that she walked towards what I presume is the kitchen.
"That felt great!" I smiled while he nodded.
Then I heard the front door open. Right then I saw a tall man walk in. "Oh, Shoto. You have someone over. How nice..." He said in a very condescending voice. That's Enji Todoroki.
But before I said anything Todoroki brought me close to him by the waist. "I suggest you get out of here."
"What, why?"
"I'll explain tomorrow. Just go." I nodded as I grabbed my stuff and left.
DAY 7
Back at the college we just finished our presentation. When we walked out of the classroom Todoroki dragged me over to talk to me.
"Sorry about yesterday. My father is, difficult. I just didn't want you to around to be around to have to witness it."
"I get it Todo-"
"Shoto. Just call me Shoto. We're friends, aren't we."
"Yeah. Of course."
"I had fun this past week. Thanks for the fun times, and I hope you'll accompany me for many more in the future." Shoto then bent down a bit and kissed me on the cheek. "See you at the park tomorrow." And he just left me there and walked away.
