It was nice to take a break. Uraraka set us up with board games late into the night, that is until her parents came home a bit unexpectedly. As it turns out, a girl can't just have boys over at her house at midnight. Tensei wasn't happy about that phone call. Still, he was there to give me a ride.

"What exactly was your plan?" He looked tired, but didn't seem upset.

"Huh?" I wasn't sure what his angle was.

"It's not like you were going to get away with sleeping at a girl's house. What did you think was going to happen?" He laughed.

"Oh... uh... you know I didn't really think this through." What was the plan? Uraraka could've had the party go longer if her parents didn't come back, so what would've happened?

"You're a weird kid sometimes. You oughta get to sleep when we get home, got it?" He was focused on the road but I know he could see me nod in his peripherals.

"Yeah..." It was dark, I was tired, and the streetlights were beginning to blur. The last two days had been long, not that I could really confide in anyone. Especially not Tensei. He wouldn't get it. Not yet anyway.

One uneventful car ride later, and we were back home. Per Tensei's request, I went to bed soon after. Of course, going to bed doesn't guarantee sleep. I was too busy thinking—planning—to sleep. I wish I could reveal my plans to someone, or even just write them down, but that could be... incriminating.
