Chapter 10 ~ Confession of Guilt

Izuku was having a nervous breakdown. I only fumbled wih my hair and tried to just smil away. We had gone straight for the rooftop wihtout goin to the cafetera or any other nearby shpo first. I had run latr today again, so I han't made anything at hom. Lunch break withot lunch is a wird thing. For a monent I considerd to search for Kohaku and ask them for a share, sense they planned on eatiing only one of the dishes they had brought. But searching fro them might take forever. Who would know where you can eat without invisible powers wanting to snitch your lunch?

I patter Izuku on the shoulder.

"Thank you for inviting me."

"W-what?! B-but isn't this a disaster?!" Izuku loweled his head, beliving he was just makking a fool out of himself.

"No, you really saved me there. Yui would probly have never stoped with teasing me about yesterday."

"M-hm" Izuku nodded slightly. Wsa he still curious abot what happened? I didn't really wanto talk about it... but maybe their was something I else I should tell him...

"Izuku" I tried and failed at making my voice sound less melancholix than it was, "Cna I tell you something and turst you to not spread it?"

He was takwn a back at my sudden speaking.

"I'd never tell someone's secret" he insistated.

"Good..." I tok a deep breath before contiuing on. "You see, I... I used to live in a labratory. My parents did a lot of experiments to me. Some day... Some day I just couldn't... couldn't take any of it anymore... so in sheer desparation I grabbed a scalpel from a doctor's table and tried to escape. On my way, my parents confornted me... tried to convince me to og back with them... but... I paniked... before I knew it, I had stabbed them with the salpel. Agan and again..."

We kept silent. My stomack turned upside down.

"Why are you telling me this...?" Izuku mummbled, more to himself then to me. I had no anser to that.

"Does... doesn't it hurt to talk about it?" He facced me. A mixture of seriosness and concern in his eyes.

"Not really." I admitted. "It feels like it's far fra away from me, a distance I can't overcume anyway. Sometimes I'm surpised about it as well, bein abel to remember this so cleary with no bad feeling even though it's such a terrible thing..."

Izuku gav me a pat on the back. He smiled just the way Kise had when I tlod him about me stabbing my parents. So condecending... tears started to drip off my eyes.

"Why...?" I tried desprately to hold back sobbing. Izuku looked a bit preplexed. "Why are you so kind to me?"

A nother silence. My eyes surly must have gone red from trying to blonk away the tears. I bit my lip, borh to distract me from my tears and to prevet trying to speak and let only a wabble of unintelligble noise coming out. I gluped, but I focused on lookin to my lap. A sting in my neck I fekt unable to turn my head. Not that I had wanted to. What face would Izuku make at such a ridiculious question...?

"No real reason" He answered strait forwardly. I shot up.

"What?"

"I mean, you don't need a reason to be a god person, right?" He clarifyed. "I'm nice to you because I want to be nice to you! And everyone deserves to be treated good, right?" He gae me that kind smile again. My tears contnued, but the flavor had chanhed. They weren't of sadness and remorse anymore. These were of loking forwrad to a better future.

"That sounds ridiculious" A diferent voice shattered the comfottable atmosphere. Akabane Karma was approachin us, and I could eben see Izuku press himself more agaiinst the fence in our bakc now. Akabane had single-handedly ruined the mood.

"Aw, did I interrupt your little chit-chatter?" He asked mockinly.

"Why are you here, Akabane?!" My memories of yesterday flashed in my mind. He! He was at fault for everythin!

"Akabane? Oh please, I heard you prefer first name basis! So you can call me Karma if you like!" He grined like a jerk.

"Karma, then..." I was brodding with anger. "Please just leave me alone! We just wanted to enjou our lunch break!"

"Without lunch?" He mockinlgy and with a smirk ponted at our empty hands. "Did you even aet anything yesterday? Or do you rnu on anything else?"

"No!" I just sceramed at him. I didn't even want to now what he meant by that 'anything else'.

Just as Karma opneed his mouth to throw yet another insult at our heads, the school bell ran. As fast as I could I sneakily rushed past him, dragging Izuku behin me. We would be in time for class. Karma didn't seem to mind coing late or skipping, so I figrued he wouldn't follow us.

He did in fact not return. Because he was already planing his next uncomfortable encounter.
