Strengthening Bonds

When I got home, I went to my room and sat on my bed. I stared at my floor for a while, thinking about everything that's happened so far. I told All Might everything, and Recovery Girl couldn't do anything to help me. At least people are supportive of me though, that's a plus. I stopped staring at the floor and looked over at my phone. I decided to give Momo a call, I sat there and waited as her phone rang.
She picked up, "Hello? Who am I speaking to?" Momo asked.
"Hey, Momo. It's Alyx, from U.A.? Kirishima just gave me your number after school." I said.
"Oh! Hey! I was just going to ask you something." Momo said.
"Would you like to hang out tomorrow? If you're free that is." Momo asked.
It took me a minute to answer her, "Oh, yeah! I'm free tomorrow! What did you have in mind?" I replied.
"Alright! We can hang out at the Etro Outlet around noon. I'll text you the address!" She said.
We both said goodbye and hung up. My mother knocked on the door and walked into my room.
"Hey, dinner's ready. Did you have a good day at school?" She asked.
"Yeah, it was alright. We had another test today." I said.
"It was just alright? Did something happen?" My mother asked me.
"Well, everyone knows that I lost my memory." I said.
My mother sat down next to me, "Oh? I'm not sure how that's a bad thing, if anything, that makes them aware that there may be things you can and can't do!" She said.
That was the problem, they're aware of things I CAN and CAN'T do. "Well, that's just it. What if they don't think I'm hero material because of that? I already think that about myself, so what's another 20 or so people? " I said. My mom looked over at me and gave me a hug.
"Sweetheart, you're more than enough to be hero material! Besides, everyone is still working out the kinks to their quirks, so you're all in the same boat!" She put her hand on my head and smiled. I guess she was right, that made me feel at least a little better about this situation. "Now, let's go eat, I made pizza!" My mother said. I went downstairs with my mother, and everyone was sitting at the table.
The Next Day
Momo texted me the address for that outlet. I used my quirk to run over to the outlet. It took me about 10 minutes to get there, and Momo was already there waiting for me.
"Alyx! Over here!" She waved at me, Kaminari was there as well! I walked over to the both of them.
"Hey guys!" I exclaimed.
Kaminari greeted me back, "Yo, Alyx!" We walked around the mall, buying things here and there, and I learned a lot about Momo and Kaminari.
"Woah, really? I wish I could tell you guys more about me." I said.
"Don't stress it, man. We understand completely." Kaminari told me. I couldn't believe how understanding they are.
We spent the majority of the day talking about what we would be doing as pro heroes, which surprisingly, we all didn't exactly know what we wanted from it.
"Well, I guess I don't really know yet. I never sat down and thought about it." Kaminari said.
"You don't really sit down and think about a lot of things, do you?" Momo said.
Kaminari looked at Momo with a confused look on his face, "What's that supposed to mean?" He asked.
We all laughed and after a while, we left the Outlet. As we were walking, Momo tripped on something! I activated my quirk and wrapped my arm around her waist to catch her.
"Woah, are you okay?" I asked her.
She stared at me, and her face started to get red.
"Y-Yeah! I'm okay!" Momo quickly stuttered as I helped her back up.
"Oooo! Looks like someone's crushin'!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"W-WHAT?! No! K-Kaminari, shut it, okay?" Momo shouted at him. I felt a bewildered look come across my face, "Crushin'?" Did he mean...? I felt my face turn red as well.
"N-No! It's just that I tripped and we may have gotten close to each other. I-It's nothing!" Momo said to him.
Kaminari had a smug grin come across his face, "Uh huh, okay. Sure thing." He said. Geez, I can't believe he did that! That could've gotten awkward really fast!
