LOST // BAKUGO X OC

Summertime Fun

Estelle scowled at the girls in front of her. It seemed that because her classmates now knew where she resided, they had decided to intrude on Estelle's life. The females of class 1A stood at the entrance of the Beanery. They held hopeful faces as they tried to invite Estelle to a day out at the pool.

"No."

"But It'll be fun!" Tsu stated optimistically, the rest of the girls nodding in agreement behind her.

"No."

"Come on, stop being a party pooper!" Ashido jumped in joyfully in hopes of sparking up a good mood within Estelle.

"No."

"Please!" All the girls wailed back.

"No. Plus, I'm working." Estelle offered the chance of getting her classmates to leave.

'Why do they keep trying?'

"Go on, Estelle!" Nona shouted from the backroom. She had heard the words of the young girls. The students beam with wide grins towards the woman thankfully before facing Estelle once again.

'But Nona, I-"

"Oh, hush Estelle, go on! You deserve some fun!"

"I appreciate you, Nona, but you gotta have my back more. Seriously" Estelle muttered out before giving a loud sigh. She looked up to the roof for any sort of help but was given none. The girls giggled whilst they clasped Estelle's arms and dragged her out of The Beanery towards UA.

Estelle stood at the pool with the rest of the girls whilst they did their stretches. The girls tried to include her in the exercise, but Estelle was stubborn and stood to the edge with her arms folded and a slight pout resting on her lips.

She was a little bewildered that the whole class was at the pool minus Bakugo and Kirishima. The girls had completed their exercise and jumped into the pool to play some games; Estelle awkwardly watched until Ashido spoke up.

"Join in, Estelle! We're playing water polo!"

"Um, what's water polo?" Estelle responded in puzzlement.

'Huh! How does she not know?'

After explaining the point of the game, Estelle joined them for a few rounds. The girls were delighted that she agreed to play. The happiness they had turned to startled apprehension when she actually began to play. It seemed that Estelle didn't know the meaning of playing for pleasure. She was violently winning as she bashed the ball into the other team's side of the pool.

When she realised that the rest of the girl's demeanour had changed when she took part. Estelle immediately backed off and declared, "I think I'm better off watching."

The girls in the class felt a little sad for her but didn't argue. Estelle sat at the pool with her legs dipped into the water so she could watch them enjoy themselves. She was reminded once again of the fact that they were kids trying to become heroes. They were naive and kind to the world. Estelle wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing anymore.

Estelle wished she was as ignorant as them, but she had seen true horrors, and she would never be able to be like them. At that thought, the distance just seemed to grow larger. Estelle felt a little shame grip at her soul; they were trying so hard. But for what? For her to jump ship when she could.

Shaking off her feelings, Estelle reminded herself that this was temporary. she was doing what was best for everyone. Estelle was destined to be alone. Lost.

They continued playing, unaware of the thoughts swirling around the unsociable girl's head. Estelle noticed Bakugo and Kirishima arrive, causing Iida to propose a race between the boys. The girls overheard and joined the rest of the class.
