-4- Rely on me

Who had to make alarm clock sounds so annoying!!! I reach over and almost smash my phone to pieces. I was overwhelmingly tired from my workout yesterday and my body screamed at me as soon as I stood. My bones and muscles ached. I gave a good stretch to each of my limbs and changed into a tank top and leggings, and threw on a light jacket to shield me from the cold. I made my way to the front of the dorm building and put on my shoes.

It was too quiet here. At Shiketsu, there would at least me half of the dorm up by now. They were either training or awake doing school work. I snapped myself out of my thought. This is UA High. This is your new school. I need to get used to this.

I left the building, making sure to lock the door behind me. I put in my ear buds and started a light jog down the street. I wasn't too familiar with this side of Japan so I might as well go sight seeing while the sun rises. There wasn't too much traffic considering it was the weekend, people like to sleep in. Not me though. I continued my jog until I came across a park with beautiful flower bushes and benches to rest on. I sat on one of the benches and caught my breath, waving as people walked by and giving a smile to them too.

I have tried my entire life to show people I wasn't a threat of any kind. I would smile and wave to strangers, even if they didn't smile back. My parents were villains and I know they made bad deals with bad people.

They used to tell me when I was younger that I was a gift but I knew they only said that to make me happy. I know why I was born...no... created. My grandparents on both sides of my family were also powerful villains. They arranged my mother and father into a quirk marriage so that maybe one day they would get lucky with a child that held both of their quirks. Guess they didn't have to wait too long.

Children with two powerful quirks can be worth a lot of money on the black market so they tried their best to hide me from the their world of villainy. That wasn't the world I was living in. Just the dark side. That's what made me want to be a hero. I've experienced the dark side of our world first hand. I've seen how bad things could be if there wasn't heros to stop it. I knew what they were doing was wrong... and deep down I think they did too.

I stood from the bench ready to jog back to campus. I waited for walking sign to light up before I made my way across the street. I figured I would go to one of the many gyms UA had around. I entered the brightly lit building and started lifting weights to build my muscle. I had a good amount of strength from learning to fight on the streets for money.

Girl had to eat.

But I definitely needed to get stronger. I lifted more and more and eventually started adding more weights to test my limits. I took a deep breath, really hoping I wasn't about to drop a hundred pounds onto my chest. I lifted the bar lightly at first and lowered it to my chest... now the hard part. I tried lifting the bar slowly and exhaled most of my oxygen.

Oh no. It's coming back down. I'm going to be crushed. Shit! Prepare for impact ehhh-....huh. The bar was stopped but not by me that's for sure. I opened my eyes and saw two hands pulling up the bar and placing it back on the rack. My (e/c) eyes were met with a pair of grey and turquoise ones. 

It was him... the one from the villain attack. The duel quirk user. I forgot his name oh no!

"Oh thank you so much! Even though I definitely had that pshhh" i sat up and chuckled lightly rubbing the back of my head.

"Oh it just looked like you needed some help. I do apologize if I misread the situation." He told me with such sincerity in his voice.

Wow he was so nice? Or maybe he just says things very blandly. He starts to walk away but I grab his shoulder. Ah wait why did I touch him... he's most likely so freaked out now.
