Chapter 15: A crumbling mask

After the encounter I head back to the class room to pick up my things from the beginning of the day.

My phones in there, and I have c o n f i d e n t i a l stuff on it so i kinda need it. I realize the door is locked, but the lights are on so I knock on the door.

Low and behold Aizawa comes to the door and cracks it open.

"what" he says in a bored tone.

"can I grab my stuff?" I say in an equally bored tone.

"Oh right, yea sure whatever" he says opening the door a little bit more.

I head in and go straight to my desk in the back, trying not to set anything on fire.

While Aizawa is back at his desk and he goes back to doing whatever he was doing.When he looks up at me...

"How'd you learn to fight like that?" He says while flipping through papers.

Crap not this again.

"Oh my dad taught me"

"Ok and who's your dad?"

Why am I starting to feel like this is somehow familiar? But ha jokes on you I remember this time!

"A self defense instructor"

"Ok I guess"

I can tell he probably doesn't believe me, but at this point I honestly don't care. I finish packing up my stuff and head towards the door when I ask..

"Why didn't you guys wake me up?"

"Oh honestly, nobody wanted to go over to you, you must've scared them off a little bit after their initial surprise wore off"

"Well I suppose that makes sense"

I say with a sigh that had tinge of sadness that I didn't mean to add.

You see the truth is that I'm used to people avoiding me. I might've been forced to socialize back at the CPQ, but nobody really liked me to begin with. But I didn't want to talk to them anyways. . I might be lying to myself though.

 NO Inki pull yourself together, of course..y-you just didn't want to talk to them, you could-n-nt stand them that's final, that's all there is to it. That's all there's ever been

But all I can see are the memories of the CPQ flashing before me.

I realize that I had been staring at the floor for a couple of seconds, when the sound of a single tear drop splattering on the floor stirs me from my daze.

"you ok?" Aizawa asks

"Yea I'm fine, I honestly don't know what happened" I say with a low chuckle.

I can see the concern in his eyes, but as much as I might be broken, I have more important things going on right now.

The frown on his face only deepens when another tear flows down following the trail of the previous,  and I feel my past, becoming tangible in the back of my throat. I have to get out of here, but not like this..

I force out in the most stable voice I can muster, trying to put my mask that is slowly crumbling, back on.

"But why didn't you wake me up Sensei?"

"Drop the sensei, I was tending to a couple of the students with Recovery girl, most of them passed out from exhaustion because the matches went on for so long"

"Guess I'll n-never know what really h- happened huh" I can't keep this up for much longer.

"Guess you won't."
