Today was another training day for the students. "Harada, do you want to do any examinations today?" I looked up at Aizawa who spoke to me.

"No, I'd rather not." I shook my head. The aftermath of our fight still left me shook. I can't believe I would lose my cool because of him. I try not to lose my cool in front of people, not even my own relatives. I'm a mess. "I've gathered enough data from them. Today can wait." I couldn't be here no more. I wanted to leave and go home. I'm pretty sure they've contacted my aunt or grandma.

Instead of watching them work their quirk out to the brink of death, I decided to stay inside and maybe do whatever I want. I didn't have anything planned out for my staying in, so I decided to take a warm bath.

I bathed in rose water. The water was tinted light pink as rose petals floated on the surface. I watched it slowly move around the tub. I didn't know what to do. I had many hours to myself. I might as well stay in the water until I started to prune up like a wrinkling vegetable. I scooted myself downward into the water, letting the warmth of rose water engulf my face. Having the sun kissed heat wrapping itself around my whole body was amazing. I didn't want to resurface the air again. I felt myself withering away like a dead rose underneath heavy water. I think it was better to be gone than present.

"Hey, listen here!" Middle school Bakugou stood in front of the middle school me. His face was bright red like a tomato. "You have only two ways to answer it: yes or yes. Now—"

I laughed at him. "Are you for real? 'Yes or yes'? Oh my gosh, Bakugou—!"

He continued on saying, "Now I'll tell you." He fidgeted a bit as he stood in front of me. "I l-like you! And you can only reply to yes!" Bakugou blurted out like a mad man. His face was completely red, more redder than before.

The past me was shocked when he confessed. Back then I was confused if I should even take his confession to consideration, but I did. I said what he wanted to hear was 'yes'. "Why of course! Yes!" I only said that because I was a lonely girl and I didn't have friends because my mind was already set in place. I thought if I learned how to love someone else, I wouldn't really need my parents' love, and their love would be the only love that I'd ever needed.

We laid out on the grass at his backyard, we stared at the night sky. I was a rebellious girl when I was with him. I'd sneak to his house very often and do random things with each other. Above us, we were counting stars, watching for a shooting star to come by. I wasn't sure if his parents knew about us dating, but they knew I was one of his classmates.

"Katsuki, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"I want to be like All Might. A hero who would save people in distress! What about you?"

"I want to be a doctor or nurse. I want to help people who are injured."

We would talk about our future, as if we knew we had a clue. Our prosperous memories were the things I loved. He was understanding and loving in the weirdest ways. He made my heart content in so many ways like no other had made me feel before.

"Oh, look a shooting star! Let's make a wish!" I called out, pointing at the darkened sky filled with sparkling lights.

We both clasped our hands together as we wished upon the shooting star. As seconds went by, we opened our eyes to ask each other what are wishes were.

"What was yours, Katsuki?"

Bakugou turned his head away shyly, embarrassed to even look at me in the eyes. "I wished for the both of us to be…." I couldn't hear what he was saying.

"What? I couldn't hear you." I was teasingly playing with him.

"Don't make me say it…" he grumbled.

"Hmmm. What a shame. I bet it was a good wish too," I pouted, really wanting him to repeat himself.

"I wished for the both of us to be together forever until time ends, idiot!"

I giggled at him, although he made my heart leap. He was just so funny when he's irritated and embarrassed in one pot. "My wish," I leaned my head on his tensed shoulder. "Is that I could be happy forever. No one wants to be sad for their entire life." I squeezed his hand into mine as I sadly smiled in the dark.

"... Harada!" My body was quickly pulled up from the water as I gasped for air. "What in the world are you doing?!" It was Mandalay who grabbed me out of the water.

I coughed out water before I could actually speak to her.

"I was calling your name because Aizawa needed you, but we couldn't find you anywhere until I checked in the girls' room! Were you trying to kill yourself?!"

I instantly pulled my knees to my chest since I was naked. "No!" I shook my head, coughing a little. "I was trying to see how long I could hold in my breath. It's boring when you don't have to do anything because of what happened yesterday." I made up the dumbest excuse, but I didn't really care how horrible it sounded like.

"Okay, but Aizawa needs to talk to you." Mandalay said before leaving the bathroom.

"Tch…" I laughed at myself as I stretched out my legs again. "Memories…" I frowned, closing my eyes once again.

"You called?" I walked up to Aizawa who was talking to Blood King.

"Ah, I need you get some paperwork ready for tonight. They're in the faculty room." Aizawa called me up for that? He could've asked Mandalay to just give me the word and I would've done it after stepping out of the bathtub.

"Alright," as I turned away, I felt piercing eyes looking at me leaving, but I decided not to see the person's gaze.

In the faculty room, I was sorting out papers. I was flipping and reading files as the clock was ticking its hand around the circle. "Ughhh… My eyes are starting to hurt…!" I rubbed my sore, dried out eyes from reading. "I'm so tired!" I yawned, stretching back in my chair as I spun around for fun.

I heard the door opening from the corner of my eye, "Oh!" I quickly glanced over to see it was Kota, Mandalay's relative.

"Hey, what are you up to?" I asked since I wanted to pause from my work.

"Nothing. Just roaming around." He looked uncomfortable as he was just staring at me like I had something better to do. "I'm going, bye." With that Kota left me alone to do my work.

"Cry me a river!" I whined, not really wanting to do anymore paperwork. I'd rather be bathing than doing this at least I can escape reality. It's a place where I can be happy and I don't need to be sad or worried about anything. I'm free.

Pulling my legs up to my chest as I sat, I unconsciously started to sing so the time could pass by easily. "...I never meant to fall for you but I was buried underneath and all I could see was white… My salvation, my, my…"

There's nothing left holding me back from jumping off the rope now. If my mother wanted to kill me, she can do it. I could care less about anything no more. She can kill what she created. If bitterly murdering me can solve her problem then she can have it. I won't let her be happy if I can't be happy.

"Harada, can you come over here?" Mandalay called me over again, telling me to bring out fresh food to the cafeteria for the students to make.

"They're making their own food?"

"Yep. It's good for them to know how to cook at least," she laughed.

"I hope they can cook well," I said, waiting for night to approach.
