Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva

Notes:

Whoops this chapter sucks.

Chapter Text

On the first day of school, he woke up to his alarm screeching at him at 6 A. M. He was confused for a second before he remembered what day it was. He quickly turned off his alarm and went over to the bathroom to brush his teeth. All of a sudden he can hear more screeching. Was his alarm clock not turned off? He vividly remembered turning off his alarm clock, and he had really good memory. That’s when he realized that the screeching was coming from Natsu. He giggled accidentally making a mess out of water, and toothpaste.

 

“NATSU GO BACK TO SLEEP!” He heard his mother yell.

 

“I wanna say goodbye!” Natsu whined. He can hear Natsu stomping his feet from all the way downstairs. They changed the guest room downstairs into his bedroom to make it easier for him to get around. He went back to his bedroom and changed into his uniform. He liked the uniform. It was simple. Nothing too flashy, or bright, it was simple and black, which made it seem more classy. He tried his best to tame his bed head, but gave up after two minutes of pulling out his hair out, he went over to the kitchen and practically inhaled his food, once his mother had finally gotten Natsu to go back to sleep (her first day of school was tomorrow) they finally left.

 

The closer he got to the high-school, the more anxious he grew. He was going to be surrounded by kids older, and bigger than him. He just had to hope that he’d find a group of friends and that this year wouldn’t be spent alone. Once they finally arrived at the school his mother kissed him on his cheek (much to his embarrassment) and dropped him off. That’s when he realized something.

 

He was lucky this school had ramps. Without them, this year would’ve been a lot more difficult.

 

He rushed to the school and started looking for the office. He was about to give up, and ask someone when he bumped into 2 giants. The tallest one had blonde hair, and glasses and the other giant had black hair and a face full of freckles.

 

“Um...are you lost?” The one with freckles asked looking incredibly uncomfortable.

 

He wasn’t used to somebody starting a conversation with him, so he panicked.

 

“Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is an uncommon connective tissue disorder. The disease is caused by a mutation of the body's repair mechanism, which causes fibrous tissue, including muscle, tendon, and ligament, to be ossified spontaneously or when damaged. In many cases, injuries can cause joints to become permanently frozen in place. Surgical removal of the extra bone growths has been shown to cause the body to "repair" the affected area with even more bone,” he said the whole thing incredibly fast without taking a breath. After this, his face turned into an intense shade of red.

 

“Um—” The blonde hair began before Hinata interrupted him,

 

“I MEANT TO SAY IM LOST,” Hinata screamed at them. He was terrible at this.

 

“Why didn't you just say so? Shrimp.” At that, he realized how he looked compared to the two. He was already short for his age, but his wheelchair just made him seem even shorter. Realizing this made him even redder. Freckled face saw this and slapped glasses.

 

“Sorry about that, that’s Tsukishima Kei. I’m Yamaguchi Tadashi. What are you looking for?”

 

“Hinata Shouyou. I’m looking for the office,” he said.

 

Yamaguchi nodded, before starting to show him the way to the office. Tsukishima was following behind him holding up a conversation with Yamaguchi. He wasn’t paying attention to most of their conversation until he heard the word pie.

 

“Pi? As in the food pie? Or as in
3.141592653589793238462643?”

 

They both stared at him in shock.

 

They were probably talking about the food.

He finally made it to the office and got his schedule. He was in the college prep class. He wasn't trying to act all high and mighty, but he wasn't surprised. Like he said before, he could attend college he was already at that level. He thanked the principal and quickly made it to his first class, which was biology, a minute before it began. He hastily found a vacant desk and made his way over there. He replaced the chair with his wheelchair and waited for class to start. The teacher, a tall and skinny man with round glasses, and thin, balding hair, finally made it. He began teaching them cell biology. He already knew everything, so he got bored very quickly. He entertained himself by looking out the window, counting the clouds.

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9--

 

“HINATA SHOUYOU!” He jumped in surprise and quickly looked up at the teacher.

 

“Y-yes?” He asked apprehensively. Everyone else in the class was looking at him since it became obvious that he wasn't listening. He saw Yamaguchi looking at him in shock, and Tsukishima trying to hold back laughter. He didn't know they were in this class.

 

“Please tell me the organelles, and their functions found in both plant and animal cells.”

 

“The Nucleus which is a spherical membrane-bound structure that is the control center for cell metabolism and reproduction. Ribosomes which are small round bodies that are the site of protein synthesis. The Endoplasmic reticulum which is a series of interconnecting membranes. They serve to transport cellular materials around the cell. They also store, and synthesize substances. The Cytoplasm which is a watery material that aids in the cell's metabolism. Golgi bodies which are stacks of flattened sacks that serve a processing, packaging and storage centers for products released, form the cell,”

“Lysosomes are sac-like structures that contain the digestive enzymes to help digest the cell's nutrients. Vacuoles are membrane-enclosed sacks that store materials. The Mitochondria produce energy. The--” The teacher interrupted him before he can continue,

 

“THAT'S ENOUGH! You think that just because you are a “genius” you can sass me?!”

 

“Of Course no--”

 

“You think that you don't have to pay attention because you're a so-called genius? Well, I THINK----” The bell rang before the teacher could finish the sentence.

 

“You got lucky this time so-called genius.” The teacher rolled his eyes at that word. Hinata quickly fled the classroom not wanting to listen to the rest of his teacher's complaints.

 

He could feel the eyes of every other student on him.

 

What a fabulous start to the school year.
