It was nearing the end of the day and everybody was ready to jump out of their seats. It had been a long day full of exciting things. The class was just about to end when Mr Aizawa perked up and called out Pixie's name. "After class The principal would like to see you, so please stay here once class is over." Everybody started to look around trying not to stare at Pixie. Was she in trouble? Nobody could tell and Pixie didn't seem fazed, she was still sitting there with a warm smile on her face.
Class was finally over and Pixie sat in her chair patiently. Bakugo seemed to be taking his time, he wanted to be nosy and see if he could hear anything before he left. Kirishima walked up to his desk waiting for him so they could walk home together. Everybody had finally left class except for Pixie, Bakugo and Kirishima. Bakugo realized he wasn't going to going to hear anything so he left with a frown on his face.
"Alright Pixie lets go to the principal and have this meeting." Mr Aizawa stretched and waiting for Pixie to walk out the door. "Thanks Uncle Aizawa." Pixie flashed a big smile and started to walk down the hallway. Pixie had no idea what this meeting was about but she had a pretty good guess.
They walked into the office and sitting at the desk was Principal Nezu, Present Mic, and Midnight. Mr Aizawa and Pixie sat down facing the 3 teachers. "Pixie I'm sure you know why I asked you here after school." Pixie looked down at her hands and nodded yes. "Mr Aizawa I'm sure you are also aware, but while Pixie is here you must keep a close eye on her, for the protection of the school and for Pixie herself. There's a lot of bad people out there, with a big interest in Pixie. If her true identity were to be revealed... I don't need to tell you how that could end." Principal Nezu went to speak again but Pixie stood up before he could speak.
"I'm sorry for the interruption but I have to say that everyday I am scared, scared of someone finding me. Ever since I was accepted into the academy I knew I had to get stronger. I knew that eventually I would have to stop hiding. I don't want to be afraid anymore, I can guarantee you I will be the best I can be. One day I will stop those that have hurt my family, and everybody in the world hurting because of these villains. Please give me a chance to show you, I won't let you down." Pixie bowed and Principal Nezu smiled at her.
"I'm glad to hear that Pixie, I know your heart is strong, and your quirk is too. But, there are precautions we must take considering who your father was and what he meant to a large group of people; people who wanted to follow his path of darkness. Those people have remained dormant but they are still looking for you. Just know we are watching you, for your best interest and ours." Everybody nodded their head in agreement and Pixie sat down. Pixie couldn't help but think to herself about how they didn't trust her. It was understandable, when your father was a super villain leading a crazy cult others tend to not trust. Regardless it didn't matter how justified anybody was for thinking that about her, it still hurt.
The rest of the teachers spoke for the next half hour about how they will be there for anything she needs, and all sorts of things but Pixie started to block it out. She was so sick of being pitied and being made out to be such a monster. She was a hero and that's all she ever wanted to be, when would they start believing in her?
Mr Aizawa and Pixie left the room walking in silence. Mr Aizawa was unsure of what to say to Pixie. He had been taking care of her since Pixie's mother had her accident. Even after so many years of raising her like she was his own daughter, he still had no idea what to say to her sometimes. "Do you want a ride home?" Mr Aizawa offered to Pixie before they got to the front doors. "No, it's OK uncle I can get home on my own. I'll see you tomorrow in class." Mr Aizawa watched Pixie walk out the door, wishing she accepted his ride so he would worry about her less.
Pixie made her way to the gates of the school and popped in her headphones heading towards home. A few feet up the street Bakugo and Kirishima were walking home in silence. Bakugo was trying his best to put off walking home for as long as he could. After a while Kirishima started to become suspicious why Bakugo was stalling so he caved and started to walk home. He didn't need Kirishima to say something else stupid. He also didn't want to admit he was waiting for Pixie so he could walk her home. Although he would never admit that was his intention anyway. He would just say it was a coincidence and he offered because she was going the same way. Kirishima started talking about something that Bakugo was half listening to. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a girl with long dark hair walking on the opposite side of the street. She was walking with a quick pace and about a few feet back were two men staring at her from a bench.
Bakugo stopped in his tracks looking over there to see what was going on. Kirishima stopped too and joined Bakugo. "Hey why'd you stop?" Kirishima looked across the street at the girl walking. "Oh dude, that's Pixie over there!" Before Kirishima could finish his sentence Bakugo was halfway across the street. "Wait for me!" Kirishima yelled while waiting for a car to pass. The men on the bench started to walk towards Pixie so Bakugo started to pick up his pace trying to catch up to her. Pixie was still walking fast, eyes ahead clearly freaked out by those guys.
Just before Bakugo could get next to Pixie she stopped and turned around. 'Oh yeah, mind reading' Bakugo thought to himself. "So Bakugo, you think I can't take care of myself?" Pixie raised an eyebrow at Bakugo and laughed. "Well those guys looked gross and what kind of hero would I be if I wasn't here to save the day?" Bakugo half smiled at Pixie and she started to laugh. "You're funny Bakugo, but really thank you, I didn't want to make those guys cry when a little school girl punched them in the face." Bakugo laughed. Kirishima came up behind them, looking at them with a confused look on his face. "Flirting over here I see." Bakugo kicked him in the shin. "Ow, what the hell was the for?" Bakugo flashed Kirishima a look that meant death and Kirishima choked back a smile.
"Well boys thank you so much for coming to my rescue but I can't stand here all day. Would you please walk me home?" Pixie flashed them her best smile and puppy dog eyes. Who could resist?
It was a quick walk to Pixie's house. Kirishima had to hurry home so that just left Bakugo and Pixie. Bakugo wasn't sure what to do. He was going over it in his head what he should say, but nothing would come out. "Here we are, thanks for walking me home, and thanks for making sure those guys left me alone." Pixie smiled and Bakugo was trying his best to not blush. "Also Bakugo it's very interesting you know I could read your thoughts. Was it gossip going around? Did you overhear me, or did you just guess?" Bakugo started to sweat and Pixie laughed. "You don't have to answer that, I already know." Pixie winked at Bakugo and his face turned red. "So do you walk this way everyday?" Pixie asked Bakugo as if nothing ever happened. "Yeah why" Bakugo grumbled. "Well I was just thinking if you walk this way maybe we could walk to school or something, but that's up to you. I'll know your answer by tomorrow morning. Bye Bakugo." Pixie was off and running into the house. Why did she feel these butterflies in her stomach asking him that, talking to boys has never been so hard before?
