All Of The Lights

chapter 12: Packed Lunch

"Uh... hey?"

Momo walked up to Eraserhead and stood next to him.

"Talk about yourself I guess." He mumbled, zipping himself into a yellow sleeping bag. He slid himself down to the ground and Momo just stared at her audience.

"I'm Momo Shigaraki I guess." It was the name she was told to use, as it was All For One's last name. It must've triggered some sort of reaction from Midoriya, because he looked scared. "Um... I don't have much to say..."

Midoriya raised a shaky hand and asked "are you related to Tomura Shigaraki?"

Momo stared at him, wondering what would make him happy. Maybe he'd be happy to have his two "children" think of each other as siblings. Maybe it'd blow some sort of cover. Momo would gag and scream "absolutely not", but she didn't know what would make her master happy.

"Yes. I am. We're cousins." Cousins. They'd be cousins. She couldn't think of being his sister anyways. Momo got a tiny kick out of her audience's reactions to her new little family tree. "Mr.Eraserhead, I'm finished." She whispered to him. He was asleep so she looked for instruction from a classmate.

"You can sit next to Todoroki." Iida motioned  to the ever so iconic member of 1-A, Shoto Todoroki. He raised his hand and Momo walked to the back of the classroom.

Nezu said those two decided to save her. She understood Tenya, if he even remembered her, but why this kid. She didn't know him. Or at least didn't think she did. And why would a few kids save her life after she kidnapped their classmate. Something didn't click there.

✨✨✨✨

The entire class was embarrassing. She got weird looks out of no where from these kids. Some of them didn't care whatsoever though, which she was grateful for. She couldn't blame them for those weird looks she was getting, so she didn't let it bother her.

The boy in front of her made her want to go back into solitary confinement. She was disgusted by him. He make little glances back when Eraserhead told them to pass their papers back. And he was very obvious with his glances. It was disgusting.

Everything felt silent. Like they were anticipating her movements. Was she going to make some weapon to murder them? Did she have a chip installed? Was she some sleeper agent. What was she going to do. That seemed to pass everyone's thoughts.

"You know you're wearing the wrong shoes, right?" Todoroki said during the partner work time they got.

"Their my cell slippers. I'm waiting for my school shoes." She whispered back, letting her ankles roll around in the practically cloth flats she wore, they were rather comfy and her black knee highs felt better. She'd have to see if she could keep wearing them. They were insanely comfortable.

"Do you know any of this stuff? Like. An ounce?" Todoroki asked.

"Not much. I guess I know a bit." Momo mumbled. "Sorry I'm not going to be the most useful partner this year. At least. Not for a while. But I'm good at math and stuff like that." She perked up. "And I'm fluent in English and French!"

Todoroki shrugged it off and she felt somewhat happy of herself.

She did know those damn languages. Maybe the people that taught it to her were assholes. But she knew french. She never got to use it but she knew it!

✨✨✨

"Go to lunch already."

Momo stayed back for a moment. She wasn't sure what to do and she didn't want to have the awkward conversation with anyone asking to sit with them. That'd be really weird. Class B would certainly come after her.
