The next morning I woke up just before the sun had arised from the ground up. It was nearly 5 in the morning when I woke up in a cold sweat. Lately I've been waking up with nightmares I can't quite remember. I always try to recall them but it never works out in my favor.
I just try to ignore it.
Shaking off the goosebumps that appeared all over my body, I began to get ready for school. I walked into the bathroom with dazed eyes and my phone clutched in my hands. Playing the first track on my phone, I took out things I needed for the day.
"I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose, fire away fire away..." I sang along lazily as I brushed through my knotted ashy-blonde hair. As I brushed my teeth I hummed along to the choirs, rubbing my eyes as well. Being alone every morning allowed me some peaceful times but non of the less proved to me just how much I wanted someone to live here.
I would invite Miko-chan and Rue but they are a married couple- I'm sure they want their privacy. I'm only a little part of their lives, I wouldn't want to burden them. Sighing, I washed out my mouth and exited the bathroom, music still blasting through the speaker.
To keep up my strict diet, I cook eggs every morning. Scrambled eggs and water. A very plain breakfast but serves me just enough to live until lunch. The eggs don't take long to cook and the dishes where a easy clean up too. At some point my playlist had played a classic Britney Spears song, Toxic.
"Taste of ya lips I'm on a ride," I sang along with much more energy than the first song I sang to. "Your toxic up, slippin' under~"
I smiled slightly to myself as I kept up with my rountine of getting ready. Sooner or later the clock had struck 7:15-ish, completely unnoticed by me. "Time already?" I muttered, grabbing my headphones and book bag off my desk.
The ride to school was quiet like it normally is. But there was a slightly new scenery when I had come across the Yuuei gates. Flocks of reporters stood in the front enternece, looking beyond the gates themselves for anything. I was a good block away and I already knew this was going to be a headache to get through.
I never gave them their report last time either. I'm sure they wouldn't forget.
"Fuck," I muttered lightly under my breath, taking cover behind a nearby tree. I bit my lip lightly as I went into my contacts and pressing on one.
The phone rang for a good ten seconds before someone picked up. "What the hell do you want?" The voice of a annoyed Katsuki came over.
"There's reporters in front of the school," I quickly explained.
"So? Just push them out of the way. You got a quirk, act like it."
"I'm sorry, I'm not you. I'm not going to attack them for no reason."
"They shouldn't be there in the first place," he argued back.
"True... when are you going to be here?"
"Like five minutes, why?"
"I'm obviously going to wait for you, duh." I rolled my eyes at him even though he couldn't see me.
"Don't sass me!" He yelled into the phone a little too loudly.
"Shush!" I peaked around the tree to see if any of the reporters had somehow heard him. "Are you trying to get me caught!?"
"It'll save me a headache."
"Fuck y-"
"What was that?" He mocked. "You wanna be late for school?"
I didn't answer him and it was clear who's victory it was. "That's what I thought."
'Fuck you,' I silently thought in my mind.
"You fucking nerd," I jumped out of my skin when the voice of the same idiot resounded next to me. "Why the hell you hiding behind a tree?"
I spun around to look at the taller boy with a fuming face. "You scared me!"
"All damn well, you should of been paying attention instead behind this stupid ass tree, dumbass." I rolled my eyes at him before eyeing the crowded area.
"How you going to get through all of...them?"
He shrugged. "I'll just blast them away."
"You can't do that! That's inappropriate!"
"Says who?"
With no other comeback, I had no choice besides to pray that Katsuki didn't actually blow away all the reporters with his quirk. Not only would that be bad, but it could also expose a bad side of him to the public. Even though he is slightly a jerk, doesn't mean I want him to spoil his future for himself with his asshole attitude.
As we neared the crowd, I grasped onto the hem of his jacket sleeves. Going near big crowds has always been one of my more uncomfortable experiences. Too many people recognize me in a crowd and I can't help but attract those peoples attentions. Not only is it nerve recking to have all these eyes on you, but you could feel the actual pressure of those eyes. Their judging, their stares, it's always way too much for me.
As Katsuki and I started to close the distance between ourselves and the reporters, some started to take notice of us. "Oi, look!" Someone had shouted and that's when I knew I didn't like whoever had shouted that. "Two Yuuei students!"
I internally groaned in my mind as they all automatically filtered themselves to be directly in our path. It became suffocating to be cornered by people you couldn't just swat away. A bunch of microphones where being shoved in our faces and questions where being thrown around. I couldn't tell what any of them where saying however. They all talked at once that it was hard to hear every single question. Not that I'll answer it anyways.
"Move out of our way!" Katsuki had screeched. I could see the imitation in their faces from his rough voice but being the annoying people they are, they persisted.
"Tell us how it was during the sludge accident!" I finally heard a very clear question. A question that I rather not reflect on either.
"Move aside or I'll blow all of you up!!" The blond screamed, raising his fist up in a threatening manner. At this point, it seemed these people finally got the idea that no one is going to answer their questions and stepped aside. I still kept close to Katsuki as he gracefully pushed passed the glaring reporters and towards the schools gates.
"You owe me some spicy ramen after school." I looked up at him, taking in his sharp features. I'm always near Katsuki but I never really been that close to his face. I could see the thin lines on his lips, he always did complain about them being chapped. The way his eyes narrow at any other human being was very entertaining, I always wondered if he was just looking down at everyone he passed by.
"Let go of me already, tisk." He moved his arm back just so that my grip on him slipped. I didn't really mind though, I just shuffled backwards slightly behind him and let him lead the way.
We were right on time for class as the bell rung and our sketchy looking teacher had waltzed in. "I hope you all are well rested, I took the liberty to look at your evaluations." His bored, dotted eyes glazed down at a couple papers in hand before looking back up at the rest of us.
"Bakugou," he called out. "Stop acting like a child, you're wasting your potiental." The comment made him seem a little on edge and I could almost hear his body shaking in anger.
"...I know." Oh my god, did Katsuki just agree with someone out of sheer willpower? Next thing you know, they'll finally find the cure of cancer. The whole world is turning around today apparently.
"And you," I turned after I heard Izuku-kun shaking in his seat. "How many times do you plan to break your arm? How long do you plan to use the same excuse? You won't get far."
I wasn't totally aware of what occurred after I got knocked out but I did hear from several classmates Izuku-kun sacrificed his arm so our team could receive the missile. Apparently it worked but at the expense of his arm. Not that I should be complaining though, I was blasted away within a couple minutes.
"Now," he paused to clear his throat. "I'm sorry to spring this upon all of you but..."
'Another test?'
"We have to pick a class president." Although Aiwasa-sensei looked dead inside, I could feel my classmates relax at the news.
"Finally, something normal for once." Someone sighed out. Nearly the whole class had started to raise their hands to fill in the position. Some of the most energetic people like Iida, Izuku, and Katsuki's hands flew up immediately.
I looked around and noticed almost everyone's hands where up besides for mine and Todoroki. We made brief eye contact before I turned back around to face Katsuki's breath. Something about his eyes...send a chill down my neck.
Iida has begun to yell out about something concerning the responsibilities of a class rep but I didn't listen. Honestly, it seemed pretty worthless to me. Needing to lead all these hormonal and angry teens would be too much work. Honestly, I have no idea how these teachers do it, I would go crazy.
"Alright, we should vote for who we want." Kirishima-kun suggested. Everyone muttered a response before a slip of paper was handed out to everyone.
I guess I really do need to pick...
I looked up from the paper and stared at the back of Katsuki's head. I would vote for him, only to boost his self esteem but honestly, I don't think he would be right for the job.
My eyes drifted over to Iida. He's way to strict for my liking and his weird way of positioning his hands tick me off. I grumbled under my breath, there's not a lot of people I know here personally who could be good for this job.
But if I was to pick a certain person...
"Midoriya leading with 4 votes!" Someone within the classroom had shouted.
I smiled silently at the boys success. Even though Katsuki was blowing a fuse about his loss, like always, I couldn't be more proud of Izuku-kun.
