"Hikari-chan! I have a gift for you before you go!"
"what is it?"
"here, don't open it though"
A box. With the words 'do not open until you have the baddest day' written so carefully in red marker.
"make sure you follow the rules"
"if I don't does that make me illegal?"
"of course it does!"
"then I definitely won't ever ever open it"
"yeah! not until you have the worstest day"
"I'll never have one if you're here with me"
"awe you look so cute today! You look so cute everyday Milo, it's not fair!"
Hikari gave her dog Milo a big hug.
"Hika, we have to get going, your first day is today don't you remember?"
The girl got pulled back into reality.
"right! You're coming with me aren't you Aina?"
"well of course but I'm not going in. You can't get anywhere by yourself without getting run over" Aina mumbled the last part to herself.
"then let's go!" Hikari grabbed her friend's sleeve and ran out of the house.
"wait wait wait! You still need to lock the door! Goddammit Hika why do I need to remind you every single time?" Aina sighed depressingly.
"sorry sorry"
Once the door was securely locked, the two girls began walking to the UA building a few minutes away.
"how are you feeling?" Aina was deeply worried for Hikari, she herself wasn't allowed into the building which meant Hikari going in alone.
"I feel like my ribs are going to break!" Hikari answered with a smile.
Aina paled.
"There are just so many butterflies in my stomach. My bones are rattling, they won't sit still!" Hikari yelled out in fascination.
"who is that girl?"
"why is she talking to herself?"
"don't stare at her honey"
"what's she doing shouting out nonsense like that?"
Aina sensed the onlookers.
"don't worry about them Hikari, we already talked about this okay?"
Hikari gave a small nod. Iki Hikari, the girl who can see ghosts. She's like that weirdo at school but instead of school it's the world. The world's biggest freak. The only friends she has are spirits, her parents are spirits. Hikari hasn't made contact with a human in almost a year. And when she did it was to a cashier when buying her yearly supply of food and necessities.
"but what I don't understand is why you guys won't come with me to school. No ones gonna see you anyway" Hikari pouted.
"We can't do that! You fully understand why"
"y-yeah. I just don't think I can do it by myself"
Hikari stuttered.
"you will"
I tumbled into a noisy classroom. Literally.
My trip on flat ground didn't fail to gain the attention of all my classmates.
"who is that?"
"oh isn't she the one who also got recommended?"
"why is she coming in late though?"
"yeah wow it's almost the end of lunch"
"I didn't mean late in the day..."
"god is she alright?"
"aren't I sparkly?"
"are you okay?" a brunette with many round shaped face features held a hand out to me.
"y-yes" I grabbed her hand and she proceeded to pull me from the ground.
"ah. You were one of the recommended weren't you?" she asked.
"y-yea-yeah"
Dammit pull yourself together Hikari. I mentally slapped myself.
"I'm Uraraka Ochaco! Nice to meet you! What's your name?" Uraraka smiled so brightly it made me a little dizzy.
"I a-am Hik--"
"you can introduce yourself to the class." a sudden voice chopped off my introductory and I couldn't be more glad. That is, until I comprehended his words.
But when I turned around to see who it I froze. I became a rock.
There was a distorted looking caterpillar on the ground. Is he lost?
The skin started unzipping itself off the caterpillar and I knew that this is the end of his transformation. Although I never knew butterflies could look like what this one did. This one looked like a man. A very tired one.
"Everyone be quiet, this is a new student." he walked to the front of the room, Uraraka went back to her desk and I had not choice but to follow the strange butterfly.
The man gave a small bit of information to class first. Then he gestured for me to speak. None of my training I did with Aina and the others could stop my bones from breaking now.
"H-hello. I'm I-iki Hik-hikari" I started, twiddling with an end of one of my braids.
"P-please call me H-hik--" I gasped and ran out of the classroom.
"Milo!? Milo what are you doing here?" my arms wrapped themselves around his fluffy body as I snuggled my face up to his. Milo is my stress reliever, always calming me down when I have attacks.
"Um. Hikari? What are you doing?" a boy with broccoli like hair was staring wide eyed at me. The whole class was actually.
My eyes widened too, after I realised what a freak I must look like.
"Oh didn't I tell you? Hikari can see spirits" The butterfly said.
