Miu woke up,  a messy, coarse bedhead-look meeting her as she gazed in the mirror. She was almost 2 hours early. She groaned, putting her fabulous uniform on and putting on her bow messily: going to her kitchen where an invention she had made was making her toast. She grabbed the slice, putting on her self walking invention and began to walk, well technically not walking more like... riding.

When she got to the school, immediately she knew all the eyes were on her! The girls all gawking in jealousy and the guys trying not to get distracted by the fact her skirt was short. All was going well until:

"Miu Iruma!" Kiyotaka yelled, putting his hand over his eyes so he didn't look up her skirt, like a gentleman.
"What you fucking virgin? You distracted by my fucking radiance! Hah-ha!" She cackled, her legs wiggling in the air as she laughed.
"M-Miu Iruma, this is NOT welcome in a school environment!"
"Oh whatever you cocky virgin!" She huffed, taking her invention off which just transformed into a backpack, going to class.

Point of view: Miu Iruma

Well where do I begin?

I was born into poverty. I have hardly seen many luxuries people my age have become accustomed to. My mam was a single mother. She tried her best in her situation: raising a child with little money. She became a prostitute to make ends meet. I didn't see my mam often at all, and when she would bring clients, I would hear every second due to being in the same room.

We lived in squalor conditions, it was dirty, rat infested with one room. Even with that, it was the only safe place for me. No one would talk about my mother in a good light, getting pregnant young, getting kicked out and becoming a prostitute was not ideal for a pristine reputation. I was often seen as a 'poor soul' due to my mam but I didn't hate her. In fact, I cared for my mam and she was just trying to make me happy. I remember one time she had gotten time off for me, we playing a game in our house, we didn't have board games so we made it up. We called it 'Squabble', which with this game, you had to name a random object and debate about it. It could be anything to whether the bed in the room was a mucky mess that should be destroyed or should be kept around for comfort.

I know it wasn't a perfect life but it was mine. I was lucky I was never bullied, most of the kids in the school had parents who were also stricken with poverty. The school wasn't even a school. It was a school made to educate us in such poverty. I couldn't remember the teachers name but the last name 'Akamatsu' rung a bell. Mrs Akamatsu often taught us about many subjects and finding what our true potential was. I also remember meeting one of the sweetest girls I ever met, Kaede Akamatsu. She was like her mother, a kind soul, striving to help others. I even remember when she gave me a key ring with a little Squirtle on. I never knew what 'Pokémon' was during the time but I treasured it since it was a gift.

When I began entering the dreaded double digits, I remember finding a garbage pile in an empty lot. I originally thought 'ew what's this' but began to tinker, and ended up making a sculpture-like structure: it looked like a robot almost. Ever since that day, I began to visit often and began inventing things, such as self-cookers and self-cleaning vacuums. After a while of all this time, I began to get recognised by many agencies who wanted me to work... for free. I often rejected them, I mean give me money, until I saw a letter from 'Hope's Peak Academy' where they called me 'The Ultimate Inventor'. I was hesitant, it was a prestigious school, but my man encouraged me to go. So I decided to take the leap of faith. It was the best decision of my life. Well partly

After a couple months of my first year, I found out my mother had overdosed on heroine. I was extremely shocked, my mother was never an addict before. But... I knew they would mark this as such. I remember begging for a murder investigation but it never came. And everyone around me thought my mother was a druggie. That's when I began getting bitter, why would everyone just mark it off that I was just trying to get justice for my mother?! But I remember being seen as crazy by everyone around me.

And I remember the feeling of despair

After a while at this school, I met Angie. She was an odd girl but she would often help me in my lab, with a big smile on her face. At first I thought she was just a freak but after a while I grew fond of having her around. I began trusting her when I was having a mental breakdown in my lab, she rushed in and began to comfort me, hugging me and telling me everything was alright and that 'Atua loved me'. Even if I didn't believe in her God, her comfort was a nice feeling. It was nice having someone care about me.

Well that's the past! And I'm all for living in the moment!

I was moving my luscious body, to-and-fro until I got to the classroom, seeing someone I never expected to see again. Kaede Akamatsu! She turned to me, smiling "Miu!"

She began to pace over to me, giving me a massive hug. My heart was racing and I was unsure what was going on- observing, I saw her text book, new condition. She must've just transferred.

"What are you doing her you fucking skank?!" I yelled at her, fixing my bow and looking down at her

"Oh! I just transferred to the main course after being in the reserve course for so long!" She smiled "I'm glad I did, I missed you so much!"

"Fucking bitch! Are you trying to steal my fucking glory?!"

"What no!" She reassured, smiling warmly as she ran to her desk, getting something from her bag "I just wanted to see you again!" Her eyes weakened, was I making a disgusted face on impulse? "I... I had written a song for you..."

"Ha! You can't trick me that easily! Why would you do that if not to best me?"

"Because I wanted to impress you!" She put her notebook over her face, blushing massively. And I was quite flustered as well

"Ehhhh?!"

"I was so thrilled that you managed to succeed despite the little success you had!" She began to tilt her head, her body bouncing slightly "I was so inspired by the smart, creative and sweet girl in my mother's class that you became almost like a muse to me."

I felt my head heat up more, blushing with frustration but I didn't know what to think. What was going on was overwhelming me. So I just walked away without talking to her. I had no desire to get distracted

"M-Miu!" I heard her call out, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw her fall to her knees, before a boy with raven black hair and a hat walked out to comfort her.

I didn't need that bitch anyway.

Before anyone asks, yes I do intend for Miu to date someone but it won't be Kaede. Sorry Irumatsu shippers.

But I hope you enjoyed.
