As we made eye contact my cheeks heated up and my eyes widened as did hers.

Time seemed to stop and I feel like I saw her before, but I can't remember where.







"Maybe I should just end it all right now."

I shakily get up and walk to the edge, looking over the campus. I see groups of friends walking and talking while heading inside the building, two boys racing each other to the door while their other friends stay behind and cheer them on, three girls, probably first years, taking a selfie, and some third years playing catch with a rubber ball.

I could've had these things. I could've made friends, laughed with them. Making memories. Being happy. Could I still have a chance of gaining those things? It doesn't seem like it. It's probably-no, it is- for the best to give up...

I climb onto the ledge and slowly open my arms, closing my eyes and inhaling one last breath.

This is it. In about 10 seconds I'll be free from this torturous world. Free from the chains of depression and anxiety. Free from the abuse. Free from faking that I'm okay.

Everything will be over. I didn't belong here anyway. Just a mistake that will finally fix itself.

By erasing itself.

I lean in a bit and...

NO.

I stop and throw myself onto my butt, panting from the adrenaline of almost ending my life. My eyes grow wide and my panting gets more aggressive as reality sets in.

I almost jumped.

It was exciting but terrifying at the same time. My throat closed up and I could hear my heart throbbing in my ears. Tears pour out once more and small whimpers escape my lips as I weep to myself. I put a hand over my heart and start to squeeze the fabric there, gritting my teeth.

Is this what life has come to?! Trying to kill myself at school and not even succeeding?! Am I really this pathetic?

I get snapped out of my self-deprecating thoughts by the first period bell.

I frantically wipe my tears off of my face and scramble to my feet, hoisting my yellow bookbag onto one shoulder and sprinting down the halls to get to my Home Room.

Damnit i'm late!

Nobody's POV:

He finally approaches his first period and opens the door. He looks over the crowd and already regrets showing up to class. The sea of judgemental students stare back at him.

"Ah, Midoriya, so nice for you to finally join us. Late on the first day huh?" the teacher confronts him, making half the students snicker and call him a loser.

He bows and apologizes to his teacher before hurriedly finding an empty seat and preparing to be invisible for the rest of class.

However, the seat he chose was right next to the new girl who recognized him immediately.

Oh, he's in my class. I wonder if he's in my other classes too. His eyes and nose are kinda red, he was definitely crying... Should I see if he's okay?

Y/n thinks to herself as she stares at him across the aisle. She's about to get even more lost in her computation, but the teacher clears his throat and begins the lesson. History. Your (best/worst) subject. Unfortunately it had to be your first period, making it almost impossible to pay attention to the droning voice of your teacher.
