Short Story #1

"Wait a damn minute..! What do you mean?" His eyes are puffy from how much he was crying. "Stop fucking sobbing for a second and tell me what's wrong!" I screamed. He pointed behind himself.

"It's her. She took you seriously. She's gonna jump off the school roof!" I dropped my bag and pushed him so I could run to the stairs. No one ever takes me seriously! Why would she?! I slammed the roof door open and immediately saw her on the edge. She looked over her shoulder and glared. The wind was bad today because of a storm coming later. Her brunette hair blew in her face as she kept her eyes locked on me.

"Oh, it's just yo-"

"What the fuck are doing?!" I shouted.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to jump." She looked away.

"I didn't think you were gonna take me seriously! Get down from there!"

"I'm not gonna listen to you!" She turned around entirely. "You were right! No one really cares about me. Not even my friend who I thought had my back. Everyone resents me." Her eyes overflowed with tears. I took a step, but she took a step back.

"Wait! Don't do this. No one takes me seriously." She huffed and faced forward. She moved one foot up. I lurched forward. It was like everything went in slow motion. My face met her back as I wrapped my arms tight around her waist and pulled her back with me. My back hit the concrete roof as her back hit my chest. She kicked off of me and groaned.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, Bakugou?!" She lifted her hand and smacked my face. She panted as tears flowed down her cheeks. "You said that no one cared for me and that I should go jump off the roof! I grabbed her shoulders and gave her a shake.

"Listen to me! You shouldn't ever take me seriously." I panted. This girl is gonna drive me insane. "Don't take my words seriously because no one does," I pulled her close wrapping my arms around her. She pushed on my chest and choked on a sob. I heard the roof's door swing open. Someone grabbed my shoulder and pulled her away from me.

"Oh, thank goodness you caught her!" Aizawa took her away from me and held her close to his chest. She went limp in his arms and sobbed in his chest. "Don't you ever do that again," I noticed a tear slide down my teacher's cheek as he stroked her hair. She pushed on Aizawa's chest and crawled back before standing.

"Leave me alone, please." She wiped her cheek with her sleeve, sniffling. Mina came running to her and hugged her knocking her down on the ground again.

"No! Never! I won't ever leave you alone again," Mina sobbed this time. "I don't want to say goodbye to you," Neki looked at me as she wrapped her arms around Mina. I just sat there. I need to be careful what comes out of my mouth.
