........ "Hm..." I rubbed my eyes, tired... This one was really doing a number on me...
"BEEP BEEP BEEP BE-" *SLAP* (but tooooooootally a light one) "Ow.... That really hurt!" He said dramatically, sitting up.
"I don't need an alarm..." My eyes finally focused. "...And I certainly don't need you acting like one." I sit up on the bed, stretching. "You already scream in my ear every single day."
"Whaaat?" He stretched the word in an 'innocent' tone. "No I-" All of a sudden we heard a voice...
"STOP SCREAMING!" …
"...You're dead, dude." I said, looking him straight in the eyes with a deadpan.
"I SWEAR TO GOD, IF YOU DON'T SHUT—_
Height's Alliance, 6:54am....................................
"Hm..." I rubbed my eyes, tired... I always seemed tired lately... I got out of bed and I put on my uniform. Luckily I ironed it, I don't want to get yelled at by Iida again. I picked up my backpack and headed out the door. The kitchen was the definition of a shared space, so I tried my hardest not to get downturned when I found out someone had eaten my yogurt, and I stayed calm. They say I can't control my emotions but I'm not even angry.
"Hey, Denks!"
"Oh, morning Mina!" I replied happy to-
"Hey, dunce face." -and there he goes again. "What were you even doing in group training yesterday?"
"I-"
"Oh, yeah, that was so embarrassing, Denks!"
"Well, I-"
"Like, you tried to stop Tokoyami and just jammed your brain!" Oh. Okay. So we're just going to ignore the fact that the attack also did stop Tokoyami. Okay. Why not. It's just too funny, huh? "It was so hilarious!"
"Yeah, I guess-" Jirou comes over to the three of us.
"Hilarious? You've got to get better if you're going to be a pro hero."
"I'm trying my best." I say with a maintained smile.
"Clearly you've got to do more than just try, dude." She said, her earphone jacks swaying with her.Luckily, I'm saved by more of our classmates coming down to the common room to join us.
"Guys, I'm going to go to class now!" They all stare at me like I'm insane, before Sero laughs.
"That's- That's a good joke, man!"
"Joke?" I tilted my head, confused. "All I said was that I'm going to class."
"It's just, you never go to class early, bro!" Kirishima exclaimed.
"Well, I'm going today." I leave the dorm before the rest of them can say anything else, drained before the school day even starts. You're just being dramatic. Calm down. It's not even a big deal, you're just being a big baby who can't take the heat. "I've just... Just got to practice more. Just have to do more. Just have to study harder. Come on." I get into the classroom, taking out my study materials, the words blurring every so often with sleep still clinging to me. Before I even know it,My other classmates are coming in. First is, no surprise, Iida, Momo, and Jirou. The first two because they're obsessed with being early, and Jirou because she seems pretty... Attached to Momo lately.
Not me acting like I don't know what's happening, lol. I think I'm the only one who does yet. Except maybe Mina or Hagakure. Speaking of which, next Midoriya, Hagakure, Todoroki, and Sero come in.
I'm not going to even say why Sero's coming early, because I don't even think Todoroki knows. Anyways... After a while everyone is in. But talking. Lots and lots of talking. And of course, I'm the last person to be a loner, so I have to speak.
"Denki? What's going on with you?" Sato asks. ... Uh, maybe what's going on with me is 'please for the love of god don't talk to me', how the heck would you know?
"Oh, it's going fine. I'm just trying to study, so..."
"Well, you must have more going on then just that, Kamibro." Kirishima says. … Did you NOT HEARME??
"Like I said, I-" Aizawa comes inside and everyone goes silent, going to their seats. Then Mina side eyes me, snickering slightly like I committed a crime. HELLO?? You all are the ones who were talking to ME!
"Hello, problem children."
"Hello, Mister Aizawa!" We all say back on cue. ...Why don't we just call him a problem adult?
"Today we're going to learn about..." As time passes I find it harder to concentrate. It's because I'm thinking of a possibility that seems impossible. Imagining. I always love to imagine. It's something I can always do no matter what, something I can't ever fail at and something nobody can ever make fun of because it's something they can never invade. Unless they have a mind reading quirk, which, y'know... I think that's kind of cheating, though. *RING* Ugh... Time for math. At least Ectoplasm Sensei is nice about it.
9:13 am. Formulas.
10:40 am. Biology.
12:30 pm. LUNCH. FINALLY. I practically jump out of my chair and go straight to the cafeteria.
...Lines. I hate lines. After way too long I finally get my ramen. THANK YOU. I go to sit down, and...
"Hey, Denks!" Mina exclaims. "Come sit with us!" I smile, thinking this might be a nice time with my classmates. They'll be too focused on eating anyway. ...Well, that's true for half of it.
"So, Denki, you're quiet today, what's up with that?" Sero asks.
"Oh, I-"
"He's probably just tired from staying up all night playing video games." Jirou deadpans, making everyone laugh. ...Okay, rude. I just focus on my ramen.
"You're really scarfing up that ramen, dude." … "Like, give it a break." … Okay. Alright.
"Now, I think that the-" *Ring* "Oh, time for gym, guys!" We go to the gamma gym.
"Alright, young heroes!" Ectoplasm says. "It's time to work on your special moves. Tell me if you need any assistance." ...Alright, now this was actually exciting. I had a cool idea about making my electricity different colors. I knew it could happen! But I'd only done it once, so I needed to practice it. It could be dangerous for others, so I went to a far corner of the gym.
"Alright... Make a spark." I made a spark on my fingers. "Alright... Now make it red-"
"Hey, dude!" ...You have got to be kidding me. "Hows your training going? Mine's a little halted."
"...Listen, dude, I'm a little busy, so..."
"What are you trying to-" The electricity turns purple. "Uh- Oh! Didn't know you could do that!"
"Heh, neither did I!" I try to maintain the spark. "Apparently my electricity can change colors! I'm trying to master it, but I'm not sure how it changes colors, but I think they might be different voltage amounts without making be go yay mode!"
"Nice, dude!" Thanks for the compliment, this feels great, I- "I've got to go now, bye!" ...It's fine. He's just working on his own quirk. It's nothing personal. Don't be offended. ...The spark turnsnormal again.
"Ah, no!" I try and try, but it doesn't change again for the rest of class. After class we go back to the dorms, our school day over.
As I go into the common room, I sit down on the couch, remembering that I had promised to play a video game with the bakusquad. Jirou comes in first.
"Hey."
"Hi." Mina comes in next with Kirishima right behind her.
"Hey, you two!
"Hi, Mina. Hi, Kirishima." I reply.
"Hey, bro!" Next is Sero who is dragging Bakugou with him.
"Hey, everybody!" Sero exclaims, sitting down.
"Hi, Sero!"
"Don't be shocked when I beat all of you!"
"...Hello to you too, Bakugou." So, we boot up Mario Kart. After a lot of blue shells, bananas, andwhining, Sero won, with me in second, and Bakugou in third. "Good game, guys-"
"It was rigged! You got all of the blue shells and I got those stupid coins!" Bakugou exclaims.
"It's chance, dude." Sero replies, snickering.
"I mean, hey, you still beat half of us!" Kirishima says, in 5th place.
"A loser like you wouldn't know how it feels!" Screaming, Screaming, Screaming. All he knows how to do, huh? Screaming. After a lot of screaming, I get a call.
"Oh, uh, guys, I've got to go!"
"Okay, bye!" I go into my room and answer the call.
"Uh, hello?"
"Hello, Denki. It's Yayoi." Oh, of course, Yayoi- Wait, Yayoi?!
