15 Apology (2/2)

”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
