Only Red

Chapter Seven

After Aizawa's proclamation I shied away from everyone for the rest of the class, not letting anyone see my face.

Soon I hear the lunch bell ring and forget my sadness for a moment.

"Hey Kiri, let's go get lunch 'k?" Mina says, bouncing over to my desk.

I look up just to nod at her shyly.

Mina guides me by the hand through the crowd since I'm still too nervous to look at people. After ordering a quick small bowl of udon I feel myself get dragged by the arm to our usual lunch table.

I delicately start eating my food, thinking that people will be looking at me because of how weird and stupid I look so I should at least eat politly.

"Kiri, what's wrong? You're acting really weird." Sero says, grabbing my face and pulling me over to look at him. I suddenly see him blush and look away once our faces get close.

"S-sorry." I say turning back to my udon. "I just don't feel confident like this..."

Mina looks over at me worriedly before an idea pops into her head.

"Hey Kiri, how about after school me and the girls give you a makeover so we can try and make you feel more like you, and do your favorite stuff to help you get your confidence back?!"

I look over at her and feel my face turn into a bright, close lipped smile. I nod my head up and down happily. I hear a thud and turn to see Denki lying on the ground with a nosebleed.

I rushed over to him on the other side of the table worried.

"Denki are you okay?" I say grabbing his hands and lifting him up.

He still seems brain dead but blushes as I guide him back to his seat.

"Woah." Mina says, surprised.

"What?" I say, tilting my head at her.

"You killed Denki when he witnessed a head-on innocent cinnamon roll smile." I stared at her curiously but just walked back to my spot at the table as I finished my udon.

Bakugo didn't show up for lunch today which made me sad, but my other friends did, so maybe not everyone will hate me as a girl!

We continued through the classes today, with me bumping into tables constantly since I wasn't used to my new body. Mina said it was cute but I really hope everyone else didn't find it annoying.

It's almost the end of class, and now I'm starting to feel more nervous than excited for Mina's 'makeover'.
