It's been a week. A whole entire week since Shoto left UA High School. On Monday I was a complete mess, so the teachers told me to take the week off since they knew this was hard for me. Mr. Aizawa first vetoed the idea, then decided it would be best for me to take some time off of school.

I was sitting in my apartment on the couch, wearing my PJ's and munching on some snacks. When my mom found about Shoto's absence, she was surprised and comforted me the whole week. A month or so ago Shoto and I told my mom we were dating, instead of acting shocked, she jumped up and down yelling, "I knew it would happen! I knew it would happen!"

"Honey?" My mother called for me while walking out of the kitchen, "I'm going to work now, and I won't be home until ten. Make sure to go to sleep early since you have school tomorrow, I love you."

"Love you too, mom," I told her somewhat monotone.

My mom walked over to me and gave me one of her famous hugs, "it'll be okay, sweetie. I promise you, it will. I know from experience." After she said that, she gave me a sad smile.

I smiled softly, trying to be positive like my mom. She was the strongest person I knew. Yeah, All Might was literally the strongest person I know and one of my role models, but my biggest one would have to be my mom. Nothing could change that.

She kissed me on the top of my head before walking out the door, "bye, Izuku!"

"Bye, mom!" I told my mom.

Shutting the front door, my mom left the apartment. I decided to take a shower since I haven't taken one in a couple of days. I walked into the bathroom and got ready for my shower. Turning on the hot water, I walked in and washed myself up. Feeling a lot better now that I was finally getting clean.

I finished my shower, slipped into some clean clothes, and sat down on my bed. I wasn't ready to go back to school, to be honest...Usually, when I was feeling nervous or doubtful, Shoto was there to comfort me. Now, he's gone...

Knowing what Endeavor is like, I knew I probably would never see Shoto ever again. He made it pretty clear that he didn't want his son to have distractions like me in his life, and Endeavor knows how to get what he wants.

Laying down, I accidentally hit my phone with my hand. I checked to see if it was okay, and I saw that I hit the camera roll. Right away I saw a picture that made a few tears fall from my eyes.

It was a picture of me and Shoto. We were both at the park where we first kissed and eating ice cream on a bench. While I was taking the picture, Shoto did that trick where he told me to smell the ice cream and then he shoved it onto my nose. I slammed ice cream onto his face too and we took a picture with us having ice cream all over our faces, along with dorky smiles.

I looked at the picture, then started scrolling through all my photos. (Mainly the album in my camera roll named 'Shoto and Me

Every photo I passed, I kept feeling sadder that all of this got taken away from me. My boyfriend, happiness, love, everything. I've had enough and moved away from my phone and decided to go to sleep, even though it was super early.

I woke up the next already wanting to go back to sleep. But, I had to get ready for school. I got into my uniform, brushed my teeth, and went into the kitchen to grab some breakfast. I didn't bother brushing my hair since it was always a mess anyway.

"Have a good day at school, baby," said my mother.

"Thanks, mom. Love you," I gave her a hug, grabbed my stuff, and walked out of the apartment I didn't leave for a whole entire week.

Walking to school, I had knots forming in my stomach. I didn't usually feel like this but it was going to be hard for me to go back to school, having to deal with everyone pitying me because of Shoto being gone. This week Uraraka texted me, saying she heard that Shoto was now attending Ketsubutsu Academy High School. It was hard for me to hear this, but I guess I can't do anything about it now. He's gone.

I arrived at UA and walked in. I gathered all my books and walked to my homeroom, right away when I walked everyone that was in there turned their heads and all rushed over to me.

"Midoriya you're back!" Exclaimed Ashido.

"Glad to you see you, Midoriya," smiled Kirishima.

"We've missed you," said Kaminari and Sero.

"Are you doing better?" Asked Yaoyorozu.

Everyone kept asking questions and saying how happy they were for me to be back. I thanked them and answered their questions the best of my ability. Soon, the group around me disbanded and I was able to walk to my seat. Kacchan slammed his books down and sat down in his desk. He was quiet for a while then he turned to look at me, "oi nerd, are you doing okay?"

I was kinda surprised by the question Kacchan asked. I nodded, "I'm doing fine. Thanks, Kacchan."

The blonde somewhat nodded and gave a little grunt, "I'm sorry to hear that half n' half is gone. It must be hard."

"It is," I responded. I then leaned a little closer in my seat, "why are you acting like this, Kacchan?"

"Like what?" He asked.

"Um...Nice?"

Kacchan looked to his side, "Shitty Hair over there filled me in on the whole situation since I wasn't there when you told everyone. I just wanted to tell you all of that or whatever."

I smiled, "well, thank you. Kirishima must be really rubbing off on you."

"W-What?! You shut the hell up, Deku!" Kacchan yelled, I only laughed a little and got my books ready for class. Mr. Aizawa was in his sleeping bag and refused to leave it as he spoke to the class.

"Hello, everyone. As you can see, Midoriya is back from her absence. Welcome back, kid," he spoke, give me a quick glance. I softly smiled and looked at my pile of notebooks. "Anyway, we all know about Shoto Todoroki is no longer attending UA at the moment, and we are still looking for a student to take his place. Until we do, we are going to have to do with nineteen students for now."

It was hard to believe that we would have to find a replacement for Shoto, but it had to happen at some point. We couldn't just have a class full of 19 students the whole rest of the year. I wonder who would be replacing him. Replace. Come to think of it, I kinda hated that word. It seemed so harsh.

"Are we really replacing Todoroki?" Kaminari asked Mr. Aizawa.

"It seems really unfair," said Uraraka.

"I know right?" Replied Ashido.

Mr. Aizawa looked at the class, "I know it's hard to believe, but we have to replace him. I know I didn't talk about this much last week, but it is going to happen. Unless Todoroki comes back, we have no other choice."

The class seemed to not like his answer, and I didn't say anything. I stayed silent the whole entire time until lunch came around. I sat down at my friend's usual lunch table with Uraraka, Asui, and Iida.

"Hey, Deku?" Uraraka asked in the middle of us all eating.

I perked up and looked over at her, "yeah, Uraraka?"

"I know you've been asked this all day, but I really do want to know. Are you doing okay with...Todoroki being gone?" My friend paused at the word 'Todoroki' like it was some kind of trigger to me. It wasn't, though, but I knew she was trying to be respectful.

Swallowing down my food, I answered my Uraraka's question. "To be honest, it's fifty/fifty. I'm doing good and bad at the same time..."

"I'm sorry to hear that, Midoriya," said Asui.

"Me too. I hate it to see one of my friends being pessimistic," Iida told the table.

I looked at my friends. "It's really fine, guys. I'm doing much better than last week, and it will continue to get better. You don't need to worry."

"We're going to continue worrying because we're your best friends, Deku!" Uraraka got up and tackled me into a hug. I laughed, along with Iida and Asui as we continued to eat our lunch.
