Chapter 9

"Get into your hero suits and we'll meet at Ground Gamma for your rescue training" All Might grins as the compartments where we keep our suits open. I take mine out of the draw and begin walking down towards the changing rooms with all of the girls.
They're all chatting loudly and I force a smile even though they're so overwhelmingly irritating.
We start to get dressed, continuing to talk about things. I fall silent and watch all of them laugh
So this is what it's like being normal?

"You should totally ask Midoriya out!" Yaoyorozu says excitedly and Tsu bounces slightly in agreement.
"Ehhh maybe later" she blushes harder than usual, fiddling with her fingers.

"FUCK i'm so gonna fail" Mina whines from across the room and we all turn to her as she gazes down at a sheet of paper.
"Oh the test? me too" Jirou mumbles as she puts her legs through her costume.
"I think most of us are..." Toru says quietly, slipping her gloves on "say, Yaoyorozu. You're smart! You could help us study!"
Momo thinks for a second "i guess you could all come over to mine one day"
"Really? Isnt your house is massive" Uraraka gapes in awe.

I half listen, not really concerned even though since the beginning of term my grades have been falling rapidly. I tone out their calls of excitement about going around Yaoyorozu's house. Anyway, who gives a fuck about a massive house.

"You coming, L/N?" she asks softly, placing her hand on my bare shoulder. I spin around to face her, shrugging her off. I give her an unsure look hoping she'd take it as a no without me having to be too rude.
"Come onnnn it will be fun" Mina grins.
"Uhhh i don't know guys" i laugh awkwardly and stick my arms into my suit before doing it up at the front.
"Come to the study session, come to the study session, come to the study session" they all chant in unison.
I cringe but manage to hide it "fine"
I act out a fake smile and put on my shoes before following them out of the changing rooms.

FUUUUUUUCK i don't want to goooo.

"maybe we should ask the boys to join in" Uraraka swoons.
Fuck me until i'm sore thats gross.
i accidentally let the word "no" escape my mouth and they all turn towards me "i- i mean they could i just... think"
They continue watching me, confused.
"Mineta's weird and a pervert if he came around your house, he'd be nosey and look in your pantie draw or something" i wave my hands around in exasperation.
They all mouth an 'o' and agree with my statement. Thank god.

We make our way to Ground Gamma and wait for Aizawa to arrive. Kiri, Sero, Denki and Bakugo arrive next and Mina jogs up to them. For some odd reason, Bakugo is glaring at me. I haven't even done anything today... yet.

"Want to go down to the park and eat food tomorrow?" Kiri asks sweetly.
"Man, i'm sorry i've got a study session with the girls" Mina sighs, scratching her head.
"my god a study session?! I need help can i join" Denki cries out dramatically.
"It's girls only sorry" she shrugs.

I groan "what if we allowed anyone BUT Mineta?"
"For real, dude??" Denki asks excitedly
"if everyone else is fine with it" I glance around the circle, everyone nodding in sync "i guess it's settled then"

"I'm not going" Bakugo murmurs, glaring at me.
"Come on Bakubro, it'll be good" Sero punches him in the arm.
"I sAID i'm NOT GOING" he growls "especially if she's there. Besides, my grades are 2nd in the class. I don't need tutoring"
"What the fuck did i do?!" i roll my eyes feeling frustrated.
"So what if you don't need tutoring, you can help me" Denki smiles sheepishly.
"No. That's fucking final, stupid charge bolt"

I give him a blank 'are you serious?' face to which his growl only deepens. I stick out my tongue momentarily and then turn around to face Aizawa when he finally arrives.

I guess rescue training was pretty cool but i don't understand why you've gotta risk your own life to save someone else. In a real situation id just leave them. What makes their life more worthy than mine?
Anyway, of course i was really good at it and scored the most rescue points. Bakugo came close to last since he 'saved' the fake citizens from the collapsing building and then threw them on the ground because he - and I quote - "couldn't be assed to carry them to safety"

How does he expect to become a hero if he doesn't want to save anyone? Isnt that the hero's whole job? To save the day and it's people or some shit?

Anyway, not that it matters. He's going to be a villain anyway so why should i care. I've spent so much time around these rodents that i'm starting to sound like them.

I let out an audible noise at that fact. I cant bare them.

*****

I stare off into the distance as everyone around me talks. It's been a long day and i'm sort of tired but my mind has been racing.
All that's been in my head recently is my dad and... barely anything else.
"Hey! Lola!" Toga clings onto my arm "you ok?"
I shake out of my daze and look down at her, giving her a convincing neutral face "i'm ok"
"Then let's set them on fireeeee" she grins sadistically.
"You got it, To-To" i join her and meet up with Shiggy and Dabi.

"You want to do the honours?" Shiggy asks.
"Or should i?" Dabi asks but lowkey wants me to do it.
"Awh, Shaggyraki and Scooby Dabi! You think about me? So sweet" i pout sarcastically as hold my heart "i'll do it"

Shiggy pours the gasoline over the multiple dead bodies, coating them in the strong smelling liquid. It burns my nostrils slightly so i begin to inhale through my mouth instead.
I take out my lighter, flicking it on.
I hold it over them, ready to drop it onto the now very flammable shells of beings. I notice some movement amongst them and I freeze, clutching strongly onto the lighter though the flame is still alight. My knuckles turn white from how hard i'm clinging onto it, no chance of letting it slip from my grip.

I watch, wide eyed as the strangers own meets mine with pleading looks. My chest rises and falls heavily as i keep my attention on them as they begin to cry silently.
I bet they're scared.
I know they're scared.
They have a family don't they?

"Are you gonna do it or what?" Toga whines from behind me.
"I.." i start.

A blue flame whips past me and without a moment to blink, they were all ablaze. The scene was awful but i couldn't look away.
I remember the feeling from when i was 9...
What's this? guilt? And why do i feel it?

I stand still, my lighter now off but still in my hand. My eyes remain on the fire, never leaving the one person who was left alive.
