You had been waiting for Shoto in your usual spot near the school gate, but he was nowhere to be seen. You turned a corner and saw him, back against the wall, laughing with his friends. You were about to get closer. However, you stopped dead in your tracks when you heard your name. "So, how's your relationship with Kory going, buddy?" his friend Denki asked, a mocking expression on his face. Shoto looked at his friend before shrugging. Deku laughed and spoke "Wow, you kept that bet."
