Seventh Day

Chapter 15 Seventh Day

Having gone through training camp and it ending on Thursday, just means that we still have classes on Friday, unfortunately. But I wasn't weary about it, unlike the others.

I find myself looking at Bakugo-kun across the room. Remembering our talk last night, and me finally apologizing, I feel like I was able to take off a ton from my shoulders. We are officially friends! Knowing that, I felt really excited.

Despite us having classes today though, we will only be having it for a half a day. I guess the teachers have a lot of reporting to do anyways, and it seems like they just want to check up on us and report how the training camp went, and track our progresses. Sensei gave each of us a paper to fill out an essay on how our 3 day training camp went by.

Hmmm... I guess I should just write some recipes that Bakugo-kun taught me.

Suddenly the door in our classroom slid open and Kayama-sensei went inside. She walked through and went to Aizawa-sensei and whispered something. Sensei then looked at me and stood up.

"Uraraka" Sensei announced.

"Yes Sensei!" standing up from my chair.

"Kayama-sensei has something to tell you so please come with her."

"Alright sir."

I walked towards Sensei feeling a little bit eerie from their aura. Kayama-sensei led me to the door and into the hallway until we reached a part where there's no one to hear us.

"You see dear, we received a call from your mother 15 minutes ago. It seems like your father was in an accident. His car crashed on the way to his business meeting and is now admitted in Vancouver General Hospital. Your mom is on the way there as we speak, that is why she informed us to tell you this, so that you wouldn't worry as much."

Dad was in an accident? I couldn't find myself to say any words.

"Uraraka-san?"

"Are you alright dear?" looking at me quite worriedly.

He's okay right? Nothing's going to happen to dad. I know it. But why is mom going there in such a hurry? I feel my emotions well up.

"He'll be okay dear." She continued, giving me an assuring smile.

I simply nod as a response. I have to hold back my tears. I can't just start crying here.

"Alright. You should go back to your room. You only have an hour left anyway."

"Thanks Sensei." I finally said.

----------------------------------

I made my way back to the classroom all alone. I still couldn't stop thinking about my dad. I slid the door open and went inside.

"Ochaco-chi! Is everything alright?" Mina-chi jumping at me the moment I entered.

"Oi! Class is still-

"What did Sensei say?" she continued without minding Aizawa-sensei at all.

He just sighed in defeat and went back on his cocoon.

"Is everything alright Ochaco-chan?" Asui-san added.

"Well... it seems like my dad got into an accident in Canada."

"WHAT?!" Mina, Asui, Iida, and Kirishima-kun blasted.

"Are you alright Ochaco-chi?!" said Mina-chi.

"What did the hospital say?!" said Kirishima-kun.

"How did it happen?!" said Asui-san.

"Was it villains?" said Iida-kun.

"Guys! Guys! I can just tell you the whole story. Or what they told me."

"Sorry" the four of them once again synchronizing.

"Well Kayama-sensei said that he got into a car accident on his way to his meeting, and now he's admitted there, and... my mom is heading over there."

Mina-chi then hugs me. "He's going to be alright Ochaco-chi! I'm sure of it." Giving me a weary smile.

"Yeah! I know he will. I mean... my dad is really strong. He wouldn't go down that easily. I mean when I was a kid, he made me believe he was superman in disguise. Hahahaha!" scratching the back of my head.

"You know what! Why don't we all hang out today?" Mina-chi suggested.

"Ohh! That sounds nice!" Kirishima-kun answered.

"And where do you plan on going?" Iida-kun asked.

"Hmm... Amusement park might be nice. I heard there's a new one that just opened." Said Asui-san.

"Alright! Then it's decided! We're going to the Amusement Park!" Raising her fists on the roof. "Deku! Todoroki! Momo-chan! You coming?!"

"Well it's a nice idea." Deku-kun answered.

"I had nothing to do anyways." Said Todoroki-kun.

"I would love to!" said Momo-chan.

"You up for it Ochaco-chi?" smiling at me.

"Yeah. I think it would be great." Smiling back at her.

-------------------------------------

As the bell rang, we made our way to the amusement park. It seems like Kaminari-kun and Jiro-chan went with us as well. It feels somewhat like a field trip to be exact. It took us a 30 minute train ride and a 10 minute bus ride to get there. It wasn't as fancy as Disneyland but it was good enough to enjoy oneself. It had a Carousel that gets paid by coins. A Ferris wheel that had open seats and can only accommodate two. A rollercoaster that goes around the park, and a bunch of carnival games. The sight of little children with their parents and high schooI students laughing was enough to keep my worries at bay, but then I looked around us and I don't seem to find him.

"Kirishima-kun, where's Bakugo-kun?" tapping him in the back.

"Oh, he said 'Aren't you tired being together all the time?'" mimicking his voice.

I let out a slight giggle. I can totally imagine him being so sassy about that.

"Why? Did you need him about something?" said Kirishima-kun with a confused face.

"Ah, no... nothing. Thanks Kirishima-kun."

I then felt a hand slip through my fingers.

"Here" handing me a candy apple.

"Thanks Deku-kun!" taking a bite of the candy apple. "Hmm... that's sweet."

"Hope you're feeling better." He whispered.

"Of course! How can I not when you're with me." Showing off a sheepish smile.

He lets outs a giggle. "You seem different Uraraka-chan."

"Really? How so?"

"You seem more... open." Greeting me with his warm smile.

I squeezed his fingers a little then lets out a sigh. I simply hugged his arm into mine and rested my head on his shoulder.

"This is nice." Said Deku-kun.

"Yeah."

--------------------------------------------------

I sat in my bed waiting for my mom to call or text me from the other side of the world. She should update me already. I'm over here overthinking things. I can't believe she left me just like that. She could've just told me and let me come with her. It's better than sitting through this thinking of a hundred possibilities that might be happening to dad right now. I took my phone again and checked. It's currently 10:30 in the evening here which means that it's only 6:30 in the morning there.

I decided to go down the lobby and get myself a drink when I noticed that the lights were on.

"You're late."

"Ah, Bakugo-kun!"

"Don't act so surprised Round face." Scratching his hair. "Where's your book?" he continued.

Oh yeah, the tutoring.

"I must've forgotten. Sorry."

"Tsk."

"Ah!" pointing my finger to the roof, "let's just do it tomorrow. I'm a little tired today anyway."

He just continued to stare at me, hands inside his pockets, then mumbled something.

"Bakugo-kun?"

"Alright. If you say so."

Wow. Can't believe he didn't fight me on that one.

"Alright. Goodnight Bakugo-kun."

He simply waved his hand and started walking away.

I then went to the refrigerator and got a cold bottle of milk. Going back to my room, I made my way to the stairs to switch off the lobby lights when I felt a hand grab my left arm and twirled me around pulling me to his chest just as immediately. His face resting on my left shoulder, hands enveloping my waist while my arms are around his neck. Stunned by it, I remained speechless.

"It's alright to cry, idiot."

And just like that I started shivering and my tears came out like a fountain. I didn't even know how much I wanted to cry today. It's not like he died. He was just in an accident. And they said he was going to be fine. But I just couldn't help myself but cry.

Bakugo-kun taps my back once in a while, and every time he does that, I just let myself cry over and over again. I don't even know how long it took for me to stop crying but his sleeve sure got damp.

"You...*sniff *sniff...smell nice." I whispered.

"I like doing laundry." He whispered back.

I was still unable to let go of him. And he didn't show signs of letting me go either.

Who would have thought that out of all the people in the world or maybe just in Class 1-A that the person who would be by my side at my vulnerability would be Katsuki Bakugo?

How did that happen?

How is it that he manage to comfort me undeniably?

Despite of his every reputation?

"You can let go of me now Bakugo-kun."

He slowly lifted his head from my shoulder and fixed my hair that was all over my face, my arms still around his neck. He tucked my hair behind my ear, grabbed both my arms letting it flail on my sides while supporting my back.

"C'mon, let's take you to your room."

I simply nodded as a response.

He gently supported me towards my room. Thinking back, if this was 7 days ago, this scene right here would be deemed impossible.

As we got closer to my room, a ring can subtly be heard. I then let go of Bakugo-kun and rushed to my room.

"It must be my mom!"

I opened the door and grabbed my phone and on the screen appeared my mom and my –

"Dad!"

"Hey Baby! You okay there?!"

"What are you talking *sniff *sniff about? How are you?!" I couldn't help but let out this tears again.

"Awww baby... I can't believe you just left her there!" now scolding my mother.

"I'm fine... I'm fine hehehe! How are you dad?"

"I'm okay baby, it was just a scratch! I and your mom are going to be back in 5 days alright?"

*sniff *sniff "Alright dad! Just be safe! You too mom."

"Yeah! Sorry for the short notice darling. No need to worry anymore." Smiling at me through the phone.

"Yeah."

"Alright! Talk to you tomorrow! You should go to sleep now, it's pretty late there already." Said my mom.

"Okay! Bye dad! See you soon!"

"See you soon baby!" then they hang up.

I immediately looked back and there was Bakugo-kun resting his body on the side of my door hands on his pockets. I couldn't help but bring out a huge smile while he simply smirked at me. I then felt an urge in me and jumped towards him giving him a hug. He then takes hold of my waist and we just stayed like that.

"Thanks Bakugo-kun."

"I really didn't do anything." he whispered.

"You were enough."

Sometimes,the people you least expect can make you feel the most comfortable.
