Shadow and Wing

Chapter 7: Then He Flew In and Stole My Heart

(Present Day)

     It is Isabella's last year at UA High and Blaise ended up dropping out. Isabella continued to stay to herself, distancing herself from family and from other heroes since she was attacked by that guy after she left the Radio Station. She has never told anyone about it.

     Isabella and Blaise have not really grown any closer since. But, since everything happened at school with Blaise dropping out and Isabella almost rapped. The gossiping got worse at the school. Everyone seemed to judge her more, in her eyes, but she never knew what is true and what isn't.

     Blaise is also starting at UA as teacher assistant to Aizawa since dropping as an agreement with him and the Hero Commission. Isabella never knew why Blaise dropped out or why she is going to be a teacher assistant with her dad.

Isabella's Pov

     The school year hasn't started yet, so I grab a book off my bookshelf then go downstairs with my headphones in my pocket. Needing to keep my mind busy and my emotions in check, so they don't go out of control in the house. When I get to the main floor, I see Blaise already on the couch and it seems like she is already on her phone looking at something.

     I go and sit down on the loveseat couch, so that way I don't make Blaise feel uncomfortable in any way. I put on my headphones and started listening to music while I read my book. I would look up at Blaise every once in a while and wonder if it would be okay if I could talk to her or not... I wasn't sure of anything anymore. I was mostly scared to talk to anyone about anything that... happened or just general now.

     Then I suddenly hear parts of Blaise's voice through the music and I take out my headphones hearing Blaise, "So... How did the rest of your school year go?" She asked me, seeming awkward, but seeming to want to break the silence.

    I looked at her and shrugged as I looked down, "I-It was okay... I-I suppose..." I wasn't sure how to answer her question honestly because after she dropped out and man almost raped me the rumors just kept getting worse. But, I can't tell her that... I can't burden her with my problems.

     I see Blaise nod and she says, "I saw Tamaki today at FatGum's agency. You two are in the same class right?" She looked at me as she had put her phone down.

     I shrug my shoulders as I close my book, "I suppose we are, I don't really talk to my classmates..." Then I look down and feel kind of helpless, when I know I probably shouldn't. Having nothing else to say I stand up and start to head to the kitchen. I accidentally mumble my thoughts out loud with a little anger, "It's hard to talk to people when they just judge you before getting to know you are..."

     Once I realize what I said and that out loud, I stop walking. But, I don't look at Blaise and I hear her say, "I understand that..." and I hear her storming away upstairs. I sigh to myself and shake my head. What the hell is wrong with me?! I... I'm never like this. I continue into the kitchen and start making some food to eat.

     When I finished making some food, I then started baking some cookies and brownies as I ate my dinner. I decided to take a pause and turn on some music while I was baking, then I went back to baking as I smiled. I finished eating my food and now sitting on the loveseat waiting for the cookies and brownies that are in the oven to be done.

Keigo's Pov

      Flying around the city coming up at the end of my patrol shift, I end up running into Aizawa. Smiling, I land on the same rooftop as him, "Heyo! What's up Aizawa!" I start walking up to him waving my hand in the air.

      He turns to me and looks pissed off at me. So, I raise my hands in the air surrendering to him already. Then he finally speaks, "Why haven't you come to see Blaise? Is that your whole goal or something? To make up with her and be a great big brother again?" My eyes widen at his words and questions.
